Chapter 85: Captain Xu is jealous of a little boy?

After hearing Ruan Anan's instructions, Xiao Li pushed open the iron gate and slipped in without saying a word.

After a while, he quickly grabbed the snakes by their tails and stuffed them back into the torn sack.

He tied the bag tightly with a neat and tidy movement, as if he was just packing a few pieces of firewood.

"Wow! There really are top talents in every field!" Ruan Anan's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but admire sincerely.

"Comrade Xiao Li, with this skill, you won't starve even after you retire!"

This technology, if used in modern times, can make one an expert in wilderness survival!

Xiao Li lowered his voice, "Comrade Ruan! Keep your voice down!"

"Ever since the last snake incident on the warship, the commander has issued a strict order prohibiting the capture of snakes! I need to let the commander know..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck, then smiled and said, "But don't worry, there are plenty of edible creatures on this island. They run in the mountains and burrow in the ground. If you want to have a bite, just tell me."

He was born and raised on Nansha Island and speaks with a thick island accent.

In addition, he deals with scorpions and insects all day long, so he is often treated as a monster.

Except that Qi Changan didn't despise him and kept him by his side as an errand boy.

Ruan Anan was the first one to praise his ability.

"You are a legitimate mountain king!"

Ruan Anan has a filter for the hunter profession that had long disappeared in 2025.

She gave a thumbs-up and looked at Xiao Li with admiration, "You're really capable!"

Xiao Li felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and scratched the back of his head, saying, "Comrade Ruan, the snake is still alive. I'll go make you some snake meat soup right away. You're new to the island, so you must have never tasted our authentic wild game. I guarantee you'll be amazed!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work!" Ruan Anan nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, don't call me 'Comrade Ruan' anymore. Just call me Sister An An. I'm a few years older than you, so you won't be at a disadvantage!"

"Really...really possible?" Xiao Li's eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.

Ruan Anan nodded, "Of course."

"Okay, Sister An An, from now on, whatever wild game you want to eat, I'll take care of it!"

Xu Yancheng on the side: "..."

Is it that I can't afford to support my own wife or what?

Is it really necessary for you to take care of it?

His flattery was too obvious!

Ruan Anan watched Xiao Li running away with the sack, and only then did she realize that Xu Yancheng looked strange.

"Xu Yancheng, I discovered something!"

Xu Yancheng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness that he himself didn't even notice.

"What's the matter? Did you find out that you're a heartthrob?"

"No way!" Ruan Anan stared at Xu Yancheng, who was feeling sour all over.

"Our wise and brave Captain Xu is jealous of a little boy? He doesn't even look eighteen years old, right?"

"What's wrong with not being eighteen? When I first saw you when I was eight, I knew you were the one for me."

Seeing Ruan Anan's eyes widen even more, he changed the subject, "It's time to close the net over there, Lu He! Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy the Mountain King's cooking later."

When it comes to snake meat soup, Ruan Anan is no longer surprised.

She smiled slyly, her eyes curved into crescents. "As for the interrogation, I won't get involved. But I can still go in and add fuel to the fire!"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked up to Lu He, who was slumped in the chair with a pale face, with a smile on her face.

"How is it? Does Brother Lu like this gift?"

When Lu He saw that she was not as calm as before, he looked frightened and growled hoarsely.

"Ruan Anan, you are shameless! You actually resorted to such despicable means. Aren't you afraid of polluting this sacred place?!"

"Sacred?" The smile on Ruan Anan's face suddenly disappeared.

"Knowing that this place is sacred, you still dare to join forces with Su Ergou and Blood Skull to frame Xu Yancheng?"

She stood up and looked down at Lu He, who was shaking like a sieve, with a cold gaze.

"Lu He, death? That's too easy for you. I want you to live, a life worse than death!"

Her voice was soft, yet chilling.

"I'm a person who never follows the rules. I have plenty of strength, but my methods... are also very dirty."

Dare you touch my man?

I can’t scare you to death!

Outside the door, Xu Yancheng looked at his young wife's fierce and aggressive appearance, and couldn't help laughing from his throat.

Hearing this laughter, Lu He turned his head to look at Xu Yancheng at the door and said righteously: "Xu Yancheng, are you just going to watch her act lawless in the military area?!"

"What else?" Xu Yancheng restrained his smile, walked to Ruan Anan, and naturally put his arm around her shoulders.

"Why do you think I fought through all these years? Just so my wife could do whatever she wanted."

"As for you, you betrayed your faith and your compatriots. You deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"Crazy...you are all crazy!"

Lu He completely collapsed.

There is no normal person in this couple.

Xu Yancheng is a madman who doesn't care about his life on the battlefield.

Ruan Anan...is also a crazy woman in disguise as a beauty.

Seeing Lu He's psychological defenses completely collapse, Ruan Anan lowered her voice and said to Xu Yancheng, "The rest is up to you!"

Xu Yancheng was touched by her little gesture, "Snake meat soup...save some for me?"

"I know, I know!"

Ruan Anan said she knew, but she knew in her heart that Xu Yancheng probably wouldn't have the chance.

If he continues to interrogate this tough guy Lu He for three days and three nights, he might not be able to return home.

In the evening, the setting sun paints the road home a warm golden color.

Ruan Anan rarely had such a comfortable moment, and she stretched lazily.

Tsk...it really feels like going home after get off work.

After all, things in the 1970s were not as convenient as they are today.

When she first came here, she would occasionally think about the TV series she hadn't finished, the novels that were stuck at the critical part, and the attractive "borderline" anchors on her phone.

But she didn't know when it started, but she gradually got used to such a life.

I'm used to the warm greetings from neighbors on the street.

I'm used to having someone waiting for me at home, eating and talking together.

I have also become accustomed to treating this world as my home.

Ruan Anan was sighing when two familiar figures came towards him.

Liu Feng grabbed her hand and looked her up and down carefully, her tone anxious and distressed: "An An, how are you? I went to the clinic for a shift, and when I came back I heard that you were kidnapped? I hope that Mrs. Qian and her gang of old hags didn't do anything to you? Wait, tomorrow morning, I'll take you to ask for an explanation! How dare you bully people like this? Do you really think there's no one left in our military compound?!"

Chen Hua also nodded vigorously, his eyes full of concern.

A warm feeling instantly surged into Ruan Anan's heart.

She held one of her sisters-in-law's arms and welcomed them into her courtyard.

He brewed two cups of fragrant Lingquan flower tea, brought out a plate of homemade dried sweet potatoes, and then told her the whole story.

"Don't worry, sisters-in-law. They were also used as pawns. After what happened, they are probably scared and dare not jump around anymore."

"It's hard for you, girl!"

"Why do they seem to be targeting you? You're a pretty and amiable girl, who did you offend?"

Ruan Anan pouted and muttered to herself, "Yes, it's understandable that he's targeting Xu Yancheng, but why are you targeting me?"

If they wanted to deal with Xu Yancheng, there was actually no need to go through so much trouble to target the original owner.

What's the point of targeting her?

Even if the original owner's parents accidentally found out something, the original owner was completely unaware!

Is it because this character is cannon fodder in the book that he needs to be targeted?
