Mu Jingheng knew that Kuang Guangzhi had already believed his words. People in other places might not believe in the concept of past lives and reincarnation, but fishermen who believed in gods did. They believed in cause and effect, reincarnation, and the protection of the gods.

Xu Xinning had been feeling uneasy ever since she didn't see Mu Jingheng last night. She knew that Mu Jingheng's work had reached a critical moment. Although Mu Jingheng had a spatial ability and had the emergency medicine she had prepared for him, this was no longer the era of ancient cold weapons. Xu Xinning had witnessed the power of bombs and the speed of bullets.

Xu Xinning didn't sleep a wink last night, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts. She was worried that Mu Jingheng wouldn't have time to hide in his spatial dimension if he encountered danger, and she was even more worried that Mu Jingheng wouldn't have a chance to use the medicine she had prepared for him.

Xu Xinning kept going in and out of the space, and after not sleeping all night, she had dark circles under her eyes.

When Xu Zexi saw Xu Xinning's dark circles under her eyes, he thought that she hadn't slept well because she was going back to the army and her younger sister was reluctant to leave. He was deeply moved by his own imagination.

"Little sister, I'll write to you when I get to the army," Xu Zexi said, patting Xu Xinning's head like he did when they were little.

Xu Xinning was in a daze and didn't know what Xu Zexi said, so she nodded randomly.

Xu Zexi sighed, thinking to himself that his younger sister was still as clingy to him as she was when they were little. It seemed that his fear that his sister would forget him once she found a boyfriend was unfounded.

Xu Zexi suddenly felt guilty towards Xu Xinning, realizing that he really shouldn't have felt uncomfortable about Xu Xinning dating for so long.

So what if I have a partner? Can they compare to blood relatives? That's a bond that can never be severed.

Thinking of this, Xu Zexi finally felt much better, and even the sadness of leaving today seemed to have disappeared.

Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin got up early in the morning to boil a pot of eggs. They also made a lot of chive boxes, which was a rare treat. After frying them, they wrapped them in gauze and gave them to Xu Zexi to take with him on the road.

Xu Zexi will be on the train for several days. He will use the hot water on the train to make a cup of lotus root starch, and then eat it with chive dumplings and boiled eggs. This meal is quite good. The lotus root starch is hot and won't upset his stomach.

The day before, Yang Chunqin had borrowed a tractor from the brigade. While Xu Zexi and Xu Xinning were having breakfast, Yang Chunqin, along with Grandma Xu, Grandpa Xu, and Xu Yaoqiang, loaded all of Xu Zexi's belongings onto the tractor.

Grandma Chen made rice buns in the morning and asked Yao Dahai to deliver them to Xu Zexi so he could take them on the road.

The tractor took them all the way to the bus station in Qingyuan County, where Xu Xinning stopped. She then bought a ticket and took a bus with Xu Zexi to the provincial capital. Once there, the two of them carried their luggage to the train station.

Fortunately, the bus station and train station were right next door, otherwise they would have had to take a tricycle.

The train tickets were bought in advance by Xu Zexi's comrade-in-arms, who was also going home to visit his family.

When Xu Zexi saw his luggage, his comrades were so stunned that they didn't even notice Xu Xinning behind him.

"Company Commander, did you bring all your family's things here?"

My comrade had quite a lot of things too, two big bags and one small bag, and I guess he had a lot of food as well.

"And Chen Guoqing's things too!" Xu Zexi had three large bags hanging on his body and two backpacks in his hands.

Xu Xinning had two bags in her hands, but the ones containing clothes were not as heavy as the bags Xu Zexi was carrying.

Actually, Chen Guoqing only filled three bags. One bag contained food, and the other two contained cotton-padded clothes, trousers, sweaters, etc. They weren't heavy, but they took up a lot of space.

His comrades laughed heartily: "Looks like Chen Guoqing's mission this time was worthwhile!"

Since the train departed from the provincial capital, Xu Zexi and his group had more time to board.

It was only when Xu Zexi went to buy a platform ticket for Xu Xinning that his comrades discovered Xu Xinning.

When he saw Xu Xinning, his eyes widened. He used to think that the women in the art troupe were the most beautiful, but now that he saw Xu Xinning, he felt like a frog in a well. He realized that there were people who were much, much prettier than the women in the art troupe.

Xu Xinning felt a little embarrassed by the stare from Xu Zexi's comrade-in-arms, so she smiled and nodded at him, but the man continued to stare straight at her.

Xu Xinning turned around casually.

Xu Xinning was used to that look, but being used to it didn't mean she liked it, so she would avoid it whenever possible.

She knew he meant no harm, but being stared at even when there was no malice was still uncomfortable.

Xu Zexi and his group bought sleeper tickets.

Xu Xinning saw Xu Zexi off onto the train, helped him settle his luggage, gave him a few words of advice, and was about to get off. Xu Zexi saw that the train would take a long time to depart and was worried that the train station would be too chaotic, so he took Xu Xinning to the bus station. He only hurriedly returned after Xu Xinning boarded the bus.

Xu Zexi had just boarded the train and settled into his seat when the train started moving.

His comrade asked curiously, "Was that woman really your sister?"

Xu Zexi: "Don't we look alike? Everyone has said we look like siblings since we were little."

The comrades carefully examined Xu Zexi. They had always thought Xu Zexi was good-looking, but he usually had a cold expression, so no one would stare at him closely. But now, looking at him like this, they realized that Xu Zexi did indeed look somewhat similar to Xu Xinning.

Comrade: "How old is your sister?"

Xu Zexi glanced at him and said, "My sister has a fiancé."

His comrade let out a loud cry, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, exclaiming, "Little sister! Why did you get engaged so early?"

Xu Zexi felt he couldn't bear to look anymore. Luckily, there were only the two of them in the sleeper compartment, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

After Xu Xinning arrived in the county by car, she found a secluded spot and slipped into her spatial dimension. She noticed that the place where she and Mu Jingheng had left the note was empty, and her panic intensified. She never knew she would care so much about someone, to the point of heartache.

Xu Xinning wrote another note, expressing her concerns.

Kuang Guangzhi's skills aren't as good as they were in his previous life, but his unique flavor is still there.

When Kuang Guangzhi's two younger sisters and parents saw the strangers when they returned home, they automatically left the kitchen.

In those days, people in small towns still held very conservative ideas.

This was the first time in both of Mu Jingheng's lives that he had met Kuang Guangzhi's parents and two younger sisters.

Kuang Guangzhi's parents were honest and law-abiding people, and his two younger sisters were also the kind of people who were not good at expressing themselves.

In this family, Kwong Kwong-chi is the pillar of the family. If it weren't for Kwong Kwong-chi's ability to earn money, their family wouldn't be living so comfortably.

Kuang Guangzhi's village is very small, and most of the villagers who are about the same age as him follow him in the business of smuggling people.

Actually, in his previous life, some villagers were jealous when Kuang Guangzhi's family had trouble, but most people were loyal and righteous, so after Kuang Guangzhi retired from his criminal life, the villagers did not make things difficult for him.
