It was a clear and cloudless day.

A big incident happened in the village. Ermazi died in the field. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was stuffed with rags, his facial features were distorted, and his whole body was covered with cuts, a total of 108 times. It can be seen that he must have suffered great pain before his death, and his death was extremely miserable.

The police arrived, but since there was no advanced technology such as fingerprint comparison and surveillance, the investigation was difficult. In addition, Ermazi's character was too bad, and no one spoke well of him. Everyone thought he deserved to die. No one in the village did not hate Ermazi. This situation caused the case to come to a stalemate again.

The police wanted to start with Ermazi's relatives, but found that Ermazi had fled here with his parents and had no relatives. His parents had died of illness several years ago, so he lived alone, usually kept to himself, and had almost no friends.

The police investigated for a while but gave up after finding no progress, and the case became a cold case.

"Brother, have you heard? Ermazi is dead." Qi Xinlan said a little worriedly. She always felt that things were not that simple. In addition, she heard the woman tell the man last night to help her get rid of him. So, is this person Ermazi?

She just didn't know who those two people were. She didn't recognize the man's voice, but the woman's voice was a little familiar, but she really couldn't remember it.

"I heard that he died in a very tragic way." Xu Minghao frowned.

"Do you think it might be related to the person from last night?" Qi Xinlan had some vague guesses in her mind.

"It's hard to say. Just pretend that what happened last night didn't happen. Don't tell anyone, okay?" Xu Minghao looked serious. He was afraid that Qi Xinlan would get to the bottom of it and get into trouble.

"Don't worry, brother. I know you are worried about me. I won't tell anyone." Qi Xinlan raised three fingers and promised seriously.

"Lan Zi... I'm going back to the army tomorrow." Xu Minghao said after pondering for a moment.

"Ah? So soon, isn't there still two or three days left?" Qi Xinlan asked in surprise.

"Well, I just received a transfer order from my superiors. Military orders are as heavy as mountains." Xu Minghao said seriously.

"Then...what time are you leaving tomorrow?" Qi Xinlan's eyes were a little red, her voice was hoarse, and her heart was full of reluctance.

"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock." Seeing this, Xu Minghao's eyes were full of pity. He sighed deeply, reached out and stroked Qi Xinlan's hair, hugged her in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I will write to you!"

"Well, we agreed that you must write to me when you go back, and you must take good care of yourself. If I find that you are thinner than you are now when you come back, I will punish you! And you are not allowed to glance at other women, and you have to think about me every day, think about me when you eat, sleep, and even when you are daydreaming." Qi Xinlan's eyes were red, but her tone was domineering.

"Okay, I promise you, I will think of you every day." Xu Minghao was not angry when he heard this. Instead, his heart felt like a piece of candy gradually melting, and sweetness permeated his entire heart.

"Brother, you are so nice! Can I send you off tomorrow?" Qi Xinlan looked up at Xu Minghao's sexy jawline and said softly.

"No! There are trains only in the city. Our village is too far away from the city, and thieves and human traffickers are quite rampant now. I'm worried about you. You'd better stay at home. I'll write to you as soon as I return to the army, okay?" Xu Minghao immediately refused seriously. Seeing Qi Xinlan pout immediately, he lowered his voice and kissed her forehead.

\"Okay!" Qi Xinlan nodded, closed her eyes, buried her head in the other's broad chest, smelled the other's breath, listened to the other's strong heartbeat, she felt extremely at ease, and thought it would be nice to live like this for the rest of her life.

The next day, just after the roosters crowed and the sky was still gray, Qi Xinlan got out of bed and prepared things for Xu Minghao's journey. She made some meat buns and dumplings. Because Xu Minghao was afraid of the cold, she put them in a thermos, with the buns in the upper compartment and the dumplings in the lower compartment, and added boiling broth to keep them warm.

How many days would it take to travel from the south to the north by car? He also made some meat patties, scallion pancakes, sesame cakes, and other dry food and snacks for Xu Minghao.

Thinking that the food in the military cafeteria might not be as delicious as the one at home, I prepared some cured chicken, duck, cured meat, etc. for Xu Minghao. When I was almost done, I found that a big bag was already empty.

In her previous life, Qi Xinlan had never felt this way before. She was worried about someone, and she became so cautious, afraid that they wouldn't have enough to eat or wear. She had already prepared a large bag, but it always felt like it wasn't enough. This feeling was very strange...

Qi Xinlan looked at the time and it was almost time, so she took a big bag of things and squatted at the door of Xu Minghao's house. When she heard the sound, she hid in a corner of the wall.

"Mom, that's enough. Don't be so full of stuff. The army has everything. I'll just get some wine. My boss loves to drink." Xu Minghao saw his mother

There were so many bags and boxes that I would have thought he was moving.

"Take it. You've already picked it up, so just take it with you," Aunt Xu nagged.

"No, I can't carry it. I'll leave these things for you! I'm leaving first." After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for the other party to answer. Aunt Xu shook her head. She knew that her son was filial. She was reluctant to eat these dried seafood and prepared to leave them for Xu Minghao, but Xu Minghao seemed to know it and refused to take them. Since her son refused to eat them, she would eat them herself, otherwise it would be even worse to waste them.

When Qi Xinlan saw Xu Minghao coming out, she followed him secretly, but was discovered by Xu Minghao before she reached the village entrance.

"Come out!" Xu Minghao felt someone was following him as soon as he went out. Several times he deliberately squatted down to tie his shoelaces and pretended to look back, and he could see a pair of blue cloth shoes that were not hidden behind a big tree. Seeing the familiar color, it was none other than Qi Xinlan. He didn't expect her to follow him so boldly!

"Aren't you coming out yet?" Seeing that the person hiding behind the tree had not moved, Xu Minghao asked again.

"Brother... I want to give you a gift." Qi Xinlan's eyes were slightly red. She came out from behind the tree with a big bag of things, lowered her head and stammered.

"Oh, okay, I really lost to you." Xu Minghao tapped Qi Xinlan's nose.

"Yeah, I knew that brother is the best to me~" Qi Xinlan jumped up happily and kissed Xu Minghao on the cheek.

"This won't happen again! Do you understand?" Xu Minghao said seriously.

"Okay!" Qi Xinlan said while holding Xu Minghao's arm.

After several hours of riding, Xu Minghao and Qi Xinlan finally arrived at the city station. The station was crowded with people and bustling with noise.

"Lan Zi, follow me closely, there are a lot of people here." Xu Minghao held Qi Xinlan's fair little hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.

"Okay, brother!" Qi Xinlan also shook Xu Minghao's big hand, with a happy smile on her face.
