Chapter 346 says, where did the little white snake come from?
Ye Xiaomei really wanted to find Zhang Erquan to sound out the truth, but Ma Qijun had told her not to say anything irresponsible. It seemed that he was worried about alerting the enemy. If Zhang Erquan was on guard, it would be even more difficult to find out the reason.
Heizi complained at this time: "You said that Erquan, that fool, went to the mountains to hunt last night. Fortunately, the boss didn't care about it and only punished him to write a self-criticism. If the higher-ups insisted on holding on to this matter, he would be dead."
Ye Xiaomei thought about it and realized that she was seriously suspected. However, she took the opportunity to ask, "Do you often sneak out to hunt?"
Heizi waved his hand and said, "No way. Apart from morning exercises, the daily training is not scheduled. If the call to assemble is sounded, whoever is not there will be in trouble. Wasn't it just yesterday that there was a social gathering? There is absolutely no way they will gather suddenly. The last time was when we went up the mountain half a year ago."
Ye Xiaomei nodded suspiciously. As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she met Zhang Erquan. He waved childishly, made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted, "Sister-in-law, Heizi brother, hurry up."
Heizi hurriedly replied loudly. When the two of them came over, Zhang Erquan stretched his head to look in the direction of Dongshan and asked with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, I heard that the experts are studying the stones in the cave."
Ye Xiaomei thought, are they here to get information? She simply told the truth, and the experts were at a loss as to what to do.
At this point, Ye Xiaomei reminded them that she really liked the glowing stone and asked them not to give hers away. Taking this opportunity, Ye Xiaomei suddenly said in surprise:
"Hey! Zhang Erquan, isn't it strange? Why is the one you picked independent? Why can't they open it?"
When Heizi heard this, his eyes widened: "Yeah, Erquan, what's going on?"
Ye Xiaomei looked at Zhang Erquan, who shook his head innocently and said, "I don't know either. I also wanted to pry one off with a shovel at first, but I couldn't pry it off, and I almost tripped over the stone, so I just picked it up."
"That's all?" Heizi stared at Zhang Erquan with a rich expression.
Zhang Erquan spread his hands and said, "No more."
Ye Xiaomei felt that things were definitely not that simple. His ancestors were from Changshou Village and were a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He also remembered that Zhang Erquan had talked about the cause of death of his grandfather and his father. It was obvious that his family had a deep affection for the Black Toad Stone.
Logically speaking, he should be very familiar with black toad stone. There is no reason why he doesn't know that the cave is full of black toad stone. Ye Xiaomei asked tentatively:
"Erquan, you should know that the stone contains black toad stone."
Zhang Erquan shook his head and admitted it immediately: "Of course I know, my ancestors are from Changshou Village, my grandfather, my father, and my great-grandfather all studied medicine, and I have told my sister-in-law about this."
"Then why did you bring it back to your mother? After all, she still makes a living by collecting herbs."
When Ye Xiaomei asked this, Heizi was dumbfounded: "Where are the black toad stones? Sister-in-law, you are not saying that they are in the stones they are studying, right?"
At this point, Ye Xiaomei did not want to hide it any more: "Yes, I mentioned it just now. This time, not only geologists but also biological research experts came. They came here for the black toad in the stone."
At this point, Zhang Erquan's expression darkened. Perhaps it was because his mother was mentioned. Ye Xiaomei was not sure about this. After all, it was difficult for a soldier to go back to visit his family.
Zhang Erquan looked up at the sky and said, "I also want my mother to live a more comfortable life, but the stone is too hard. It's useless to take it back. It's not worth a penny. Let them study it if they want."
In an instant, Zhang Erquan's attitude towards the Black Toad Stone became indifferent, and his expression even showed some disgust.
Heizi was unhappy at this time: "You are the only one who has broad knowledge, don't show off in front of me that you know more about Changshou Village than I do."
Zhang Erquan resumed his previous playfulness, hooked his arm around Heizi's neck and said, "You are not even half a villager of Changshou Village."
Ye Xiaomei followed behind him, thinking, if Zhang Erquan insisted that the piece he picked was the one he picked, then why were the other stones so closely connected together?
Ye Xiaomei suddenly thought of something and stopped to look at the backs of Zhang Erquan and Heizi, who were arm in arm. Since he knew so much about the Black Toad Stone, he must know the relationship between the White Snake, the Black Toad Stone and the Red Maple Tree. He could find the Black Toad Stone by seeing the White Snake.
Then why did he say he was going to eat them when he picked up two snake eggs?
Shouldn't he take good care of those two snake eggs?
There's something fishy going on. Ye Xiaomei is sure at this moment that Zhang Erquan is hiding some secret.
"Sister-in-law." Heizi turned around and called her.
Ye Xiaomei was pulled back to reality and hurried to catch up.
When Zhang Erquan turned around, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
Originally Heizi said that Ma Qijun had prepared the meal and was in the dormitory, but as soon as Ye Xiaomei and the other two entered the military compound, they were told by the security department that Ma Qijun was waiting for them in the office.
Ye Xiaomei didn't think much about it. The two of them went to the cafeteria and Ye Xiaomei went to the leader's office.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Feng Jin sitting on the chair by the tea table, and Ma Qijun was sitting at his desk with a gloomy face, checking documents.
Especially when Ye Xiaomei walked in, Feng Jian turned his face away with disgust, and the atmosphere naturally became a bit weird.
Ye Xiaomei spoke first: "Qijun, have you eaten?"
Ma Qijun didn't raise his head, his brows furrowed tightly. "I'll go back to the dormitory to eat with you later."
Feng Jin's face flashed with unwilling annoyance. She had learned a lot in recent days. Ma Qijun, who was as cold as an iceberg on weekdays, became so soft in front of Ye Xiaomei that it gave people goosebumps.
"Ye Xiaomei, tell Captain Ma if you brought two little white snakes to scare me when we were having dinner in the cafeteria last night?"
Feng Jian went straight to the topic of today's visit.
Only then did Ma Qijun put away his folder, stood up, picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water.
Feng Jin instinctively raised his hand to take it, but someone passed it to Ye Xiaomei and said softly, "Sit down and talk."
Feng Zhenmeng frowned. If he didn't pour her tea, could she just get it herself?
He just stretched out his hand, but grabbed nothing. He looked up and saw that another glass of water was already in Ma Qijun's hand. He drank a sip without even raising his head.
"Tsk!" Feng Jian took a deep breath in anger.
Ye Xiaomei sat down, took a sip of water, and thought suspiciously for a moment. Seeing the man's tired eyes full of tenderness, she felt relieved: "Well, but I didn't mean to scare you."
Ye Xiaomei herself didn't know when those two little things got into her cloth bag. If Feng Jin wanted to use this incident to sow discord between them, Ye Xiaomei would fight to the end.
Ma Qijun nodded thoughtfully.
Feng Jin crossed his arms and said confidently, "Okay, I believe you didn't let those two snakes come out on purpose to scare me. Just tell me, where did those two snakes come from?"
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. It turned out that her intention was not to sow discord between her and the man.
"I picked it up when Heizi took me for a stroll in Dongshan yesterday afternoon. I was injured at the time, and I put it in my bag because I saw how pitiful it looked. And coincidentally, I know a little bit about medicine." Who doesn't know how to lie and act cute?
When Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, Feng Jian pouted in disgust. What? Do you still want to tell everyone that you, Ye Xiaomei, are a kind and pure good woman?
Ma Qijun hummed and nodded. He trusted his wife very much. He rubbed the girl's head subconsciously and said softly, ignoring Feng Jin who was stunned beside him:
"The military district doesn't allow privately raising animals. Let's release the snake once it's healed."
Feng Jian almost vomited blood. She guessed correctly that Ma Qijun was a male nanny.
What's even more disgusting is that Ye Xiaomei originally had a baby face, but now in the man's palm she looked like his daughter, and she didn't even notice the incongruity at all.
"Ahem." Feng Jin cleared his throat, bringing the topic of the two showing affection back to reality:
"Captain Ma, can work and life be separated? Your wife has already admitted that she went to Dongshan. Can she get away with this?"
