So Qiao Qingqing was not panicked at all.
She didn't raise her head, but pretended not to notice.
When the footsteps approached, a familiar voice came: "Qiao Qingqing, what are you doing?"
Qiao Qingqing then looked up in surprise, and actually saw Lu Heng!
"Lu Heng? What are you doing?" She stood up from the reef.
When Lu Heng saw her appear here, his heart sank.
"This lady is my wife, Qiao Qingqing. She went to the countryside with the Hongsheng Brigade of the fishing village."
Lu Heng explained to the soldiers first, and then said: "You go over there first, I want to talk to my wife."
The soldiers had no objection. They saluted Qiao Qingqing and left.
Qiao Qingqing looked at Lu Heng in confusion: "Are you guys here to carry out this mission?"
Lu Heng nodded, took a few steps forward, extended his hand to Qiao Qingqing, and said in a deep voice, "You come down first."
Although it was a pleasant surprise to run into his lover by chance, it was not a happy thing no matter how he thought about it when his lover ran to the beach alone and climbed onto the rocks.
Qiao Qingqing didn't want him to notice the area under the reef, so she squatted down and supported herself against the reef, trying to use the force to jump down. However, the tall Lu Heng saw that she didn't hold his hand, so he walked up to her and carried her down.
Qiao Qingqing's body stiffened for a moment.
Lu Heng put her down as if nothing had happened and said, "It's too high, it's not safe."
Qiao Qingqing knew that he was explaining his actions just now.
Qiao Qingqing nodded randomly. Not wanting to continue this topic, she asked him what he was doing here.
Lu Heng only answered with four simple words: "Eliminate the enemy."
"And you?"
He asked again, staring straight at Qiao Qingqing.
"Did someone bully you?"
Qiao Qingqing shook her head. "The people in the brigade are very caring towards me, and the old educated youth also have a friendly relationship with me."
"Have your family or the Qiao family come to see you recently?" Lu Heng asked pointedly. It was obvious that he did not believe Qiao Qingqing's words. If she had no worries, why would she come to the beach alone at this time?
Seeing her sitting on the reef and gazing at the sky, like a lonely and helpless loner, Lu Heng's heart ached deeply.
He knew that as a girl without anyone to rely on, she must have a hard life.
He only regretted that he was incompetent and could not accumulate enough military merits to resume his post as soon as possible. If he was reinstated, he could take her to the opposite island to join the army...
Qiao Qingqing didn't know that Lu Heng had made so many associations with just one word from her.
She did not avoid Lu Heng's question: "Although they have been here, they did not gain any advantage."
Lu Heng thought: That’s not the case.
His fists clenched quietly, and Lu Heng began to feel disgusted with the descendants of his grandfather's old friend.
Needless to say, he had a bad impression of the Shi family.
It seems that the last time Shi Wang's two arms were dislocated, the Shi family did not learn a lesson.
Or are they really so stupid that they fail to understand their own "tit-for-tat" hint?
"By the way, this is for you."
Because Lu Heng suddenly turned cold and silent, Qiao Qingqing felt the atmosphere was awkward, so she deliberately tried to find a topic to break the silence.
She handed over the bucket in her hand, which was filled with clams, razor clams, conchs, and a few oysters.
Facing Lu Heng's probing gaze, Qiao Qingqing explained: "This is what we dug up on the beach. Your troops have been training hard, so take this and eat it to replenish your body."
These words made Lu Heng's heart beat fast.
