Chapter 507 I have a little turtle in my pocket
"Come." Ma Qijun looked particularly majestic and powerful in his military uniform.
His big hand with a rope at the base of the thumb waved calmly. Those were marks left from years of holding guns. But Ye Xiaomei was still very suspicious that he could appear here.
Ye Xiaomei stepped forward with a puzzled look in her eyes and held out her hand.
Unexpectedly, Ma Qijun's hand retracted unconsciously, and he turned around and said a few words to Captain Wang:
"You handled the situation in a timely manner this time. I will write a report and submit it later."
Captain Wang immediately smiled and said, "It's what I should do. It's what I should do."
The two police officers who were in charge of taking notes were stunned. The information they received about Chief Ma showed that he had never been married.
But since the boss was so polite, naturally they couldn't help but flatter him.
Ye Xiaomei discovered something. This man was really her husband. Otherwise, why would he be so afraid to touch her?
When leaving the Ministry of Public Security, Ye Xiaomei turned around to look at Tang Bushi. He crossed his arms as if nothing had happened and even made a goodbye gesture.
After getting in the car, Ye Xiaomei asked, "Why are you here?"
"You, I haven't asked you why you are here." Ma Qijun had a look of heartache on his face:
"I told you the time, why aren't you waiting for me at the rental house?"
"..." Ye Xiaomei was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it that night?"
"Yes, it was that night, but you were not there." Ma Qijun was sitting in the back seat.
Ye Xiaomei sat next to him, but there was a little distance between them.
"I'm here. I left around 11:30 or 12:00." Ye Xiaomei had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized that the driver looked familiar.
"Qiu Ah Man? Didn't you... jump out of the car and run away?" Ye Xiaomei didn't finish her words, and suddenly she felt that everything was just like a dream.
Didn’t Qiu Ah Man jump out of the car and run away last night?
What's going on? Why is he with Ma Qijun?
For a moment, Ye Xiaomei's head felt like several alarm bells were ringing.
"Who is Qiu Ah Man?" Ma Qijun didn't care about that and held Ye Xiaomei's face with both hands:
"What happened to you? Did they do something to you? He always drove for me. His name was Zhao Qi, not Qiu Ah Man."
Zhao Qi?
Ye Xiaomei was completely stunned and stared into Ma Qijun's eyes.
His palms were warm, and his eyes were just like the Ma Qijun in my memory, calm but with a warm and steady look:
"So what's your name?"
Ma Qijun took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong with you?"
What's wrong? Ye Xiaomei was stunned. What went wrong?
Ma Qijun's eyes were filled with worry: "Zhao Qi, check to see if we are close to Changshou Village."
"Let me check the navigation."
Zhao Qi fiddled with the phone hanging on the stand for a few times: "There's also Sanli Road, I heard it's quite prosperous."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the mobile phone hanging on the platform with a confused look on her face. It was indeed the navigation.
She looked at Ma Qijun in horror.
How is it possible to have navigation software in this day and age?
What's going on?
Ma Qijun couldn't help but frown: "Don't be nervous, if I remember correctly, Changshou Village is also your hometown, right?"
Ye Xiaomei was completely panicked, because her hometown was not Changshou Village, but Xinghua Village.
Changshou Village is located in the south, and her hometown is in the north, where they eat wheat. What's going on?
Just as she was panicking, the neon lights outside the car window were very bright and people of all kinds were walking on the street.
Each of them holds a high-tech touch-screen mobile phone in their hands and always walks with their heads down.
This is not true at all.
"Commander, we're here."
The car stopped suddenly.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly realized, isn’t this a prosperous place?
Although it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are filled with tall buildings reaching up into the sky, shopping malls can be seen everywhere, and the roads are heavily congested with vehicles, so it is rare to see bicycles.
Ye Xiaomei hid behind the man in fear: "Where is this?"
"Changshou Village, although it's called a village, is not a village, it's a city, and it's developing well. Have you forgotten that it was you who asked me to accompany you to see the red maple trees?"
After saying that, the man got out of the car, walked around and opened the door.
Ye Xiaomei was completely stiff. She got out of the car slowly and found a bustling scene behind her.
The front is a mountain, at the foot of which is a cloud tower, with the words on it decorated with flashing lights: the thousand-year-old red maple tower, the white snake and black toad determine the fate of the world. The horizontal banner reads: the ancestors are blessed.
Many people buy incense and candles at the foot of the mountain and then climb up the mountain step by step.
There was smoke and fire under the red maple tree, and the incense was very strong.
Ye Xiaomei turned around in circles to check, and after turning around several times, she felt a little dizzy.
Where on earth is this? This is not the era she lives in at all.
Those people were holding notebooks in their hands. Some were sitting at the foot of the mountain sketching and talking. Their cell phones were more advanced than each other.
There are also people who go to the night market to set up stalls. They buy furs, but they don’t use them to make clothes. Instead, they use them to make handbags and coin purses.
It all feels so unreal.
She suddenly looked at Ma Qijun and found that he was buying candles and a red ribbon:
"Write your name quickly and hang it on the marriage tree when we go up the mountain."
Ye Xiaomei frowned and wrote her own name. This was a ribbon that prayed for a hundred years of companionship. Everything seemed ready, and Ma Qijun took Ye Xiaomei up the mountain.
The mountain now has stairs, but Ye Xiaomei, who was full of thoughts, didn't understand what was going on and suddenly raised her head.
At that moment, she finally understood what a towering tree was.
The crown of the red maple tree touched half of the mountain range, and the entire trunk of the tree was so long that it took more than a dozen people to hug it. The blood-red maple leaf paper strips were hung with tourists' wishes and were swaying in the evening breeze, making the scene very lively.
Ye Xiaomei's attention was quickly attracted.
Since there is a red maple tree, the black toad and the white snake must be there as well.
She walked to the tree under it and looked up at the treetops that covered the sky. She was conscious for a while and even after turning her neck in a circle she still couldn't see the branches.
However, there was no white snake on the red maple tree.
I lowered my head and checked under the tree roots that were as thick as pythons, but I didn't see the black toad's hole.
Could it be hidden?
"Here, light a stick of incense." Ma Qijun handed Ye Xiaomei a candle.
Ye Xiaomei took it stiffly. This was all very strange, but she couldn't figure out the reason yet.
"Hey, Aunt Xiaomei?"
Ye Xiaomei's attention was drawn to this exclamation.
It doesn't matter at first glance, she looks about five or six years old and looks like a porcelain doll.
But she was standing there with her head held high, her young face showing a maturity that was not in line with her age. She crossed her arms and said in a childish voice:
"You've been fooled..."
"Me?" Ye Xiaomei pointed at her nose and said, "Did I get fooled?"
"Lululu...Thanks to my master for letting me help you, otherwise your soul would be trapped here."
The little girl stuck out her tongue and pinched her fingers with her chubby little hands. Then she opened her cherry-like mouth with a serious expression:
“Break it for me!!!”
Ma Qijun's pupils shrank immediately: "Where did this little brat come from?"
At that moment, Ye Xiaomei noticed that Ma Qijun's appearance was changing. How could he have such a ferocious face? His face also began to twist.
The towering red maple tree in front of me is like the moon in the water. When a stone is thrown into it, the rippling waves make the image unclear.
"Humph, you two are trying to fool me with these little tricks. My master is the Grandmaster Yuan Yi. You guys who can't take a beating can only wish you good luck. If my master comes out, you will all have to go back home and pay homage to your ancestors."
The childish voice seemed to appear in my dream. After the little girl finished scolding herself with her hands on her hips, she took out a turtle from her hip pocket and held it in her palm.
His expression instantly softened, and he stroked the drums:
"The little turtle wags its tail, the little turtle lays eggs, the turtle shell glows with light, wagging its tail cures all diseases... Go ahead."
With a "pa" sound, the little girl threw the turtle directly to the ground.
