Chapter 91 Yang Chuan takes the bait
Not long after waking up in the morning, Jiang Yubai suddenly came back from the army.
"I'm going out on a mission and will be back in a week."
Jiang Yubai was wearing a neat military uniform, and the pair of dark eyes under the brim of his hat looked at her and said.
Ruan Yuntang nodded and reminded: "Remember what I said before, check the weather more often."
She had just gotten up and had not had time to comb her hair, so her messy hair fell on her cheeks.
Jiang Yubai looked at her deeply, then suddenly stepped forward and reached out to tuck her fallen hair behind her ear.
His action was so sudden that Ruan Yuntang didn't react for a moment. By the time he reacted, the other party had already withdrawn his hand nonchalantly.
Her big watery eyes looked at him in confusion and shock.
"What?" Jiang Yubai asked back.
His demeanor was unusually natural.
Ruan Yuntang's heart beat unnaturally a few times. He hurriedly gathered his hair again, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
There was a barely perceptible trace of regret in Jiang Yubai's eyes.
He then opened his mouth, but Ruan Yuntang spoke first: "It's almost time, you can't be late as the leader."
Jiang Yubai looked at her for a few seconds, then turned and left.
Ruan Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but he didn't expect the footsteps to suddenly stop at the door.
"I have something to tell you when I get back."
After he finished speaking, he left before Ruan Yuntang could come to his senses.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Ruan Yuntang came to his senses and quickly went to open the door.
Hu Xiaoling was outside the door. She was panting and said excitedly, "Tangtang, I just overheard Song Wei talking to my mother-in-law!"
Ruan Yuntang understood the result by looking at the expression on her face.
At the same time, the Song family.
"Son, why do you have to tell Yang Chuan the shortcut? It's enough for you to know it yourself!" Mrs. Gao persuaded earnestly.
"Mom, Brother Chuan saved my life, and I will never betray him." In addition to gratitude, there was also a hint of guilt in Song Wei's eyes.
Brother Chuan has made a great contribution in this matter, so she should be able to live a better life now.
…
The other side.
Ruan Yuntang has already started chatting with Hu Xiaoling about the street stall business.
When talking about this, Hu Xiaoling's eyes were full of gratitude. She took out a wad of money from her pocket and stuffed it into Ruan Yuntang's hand.
"Before, you gave me several bottles of sachets and perfume without asking me for money. Now that I have made money, I must give it to you."
Ruan Yuntang refused to accept it, but Hu Xiaoling insisted on giving it to him.
Finally, she accepted it and found out that Hu Xiaoling had made a lot of money by setting up the stall according to her instructions.
Of course, it is only slightly higher than that of ordinary low-level working people.
Ruan Yuntang felt happy too when he saw her happy face. He chatted with her for a while before sending her away.
After returning to the room and tidying up, Ruan Yuntang was about to go out, but he didn't expect Shen Lieyang to come.
He brought a pancake and porridge from the canteen.
"Sister-in-law, this is what the leader told me to bring you!"
Ruan Yuntang was startled, and after he put it down, he said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Just as he was about to find a ticket for him, Shen Lieyang waved his hand, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to give it to me. The leader has already given it to me!”
After saying this, he ran away.
Ruan Yuntang looked at the breakfast on the table, then looked at his scabbed hand after removing the bandage, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to tell him that his hand was healed.
But unexpectedly, Shen Lieyang came to deliver food again that afternoon, and brought a box of scar cream.
"This is what the group leader bought specially for my sister-in-law. It just arrived at the state-owned store today!"
Ruan Yuntang stared at the plaster in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
She has some of this ointment in her space, and it costs several dollars per tube, which is ridiculously expensive. It's just a little bit for her, but it's definitely a luxury for Jiang Yubai.
Why did he buy this for her?
And when he said he had something to say to her that day, what did he mean?
Ruan Yuntang had a vague premonition in his heart, but he didn't dare to think further.
In the next few days, she focused on making perfume and temporarily put these things aside.
Thousands of miles away, Lijiagou.
A group of soldiers armed with guns and in high spirits lined up neatly at the foot of the hill.
The leading man had a cold demeanor and gave a solemn order: "Everyone, divide into four teams. Two teams will escort the food, and two teams will explore the way!"
"yes!"
As everyone was adjusting their formation, a commanding voice came:
"etc!"
Then a middle-aged man with a solemn face came over, took out a map, and said in a deep voice:
"No need to explore the road. Captain Yang has found the shortest way, which can greatly shorten the journey."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped in shock and looked at Yang Chuan who was standing behind the middle-aged man, with admiration in their eyes.
We have just started exploring the route, and Captain Yang has already found the shortest route!
Yang Chuan enjoyed everyone's gazes and unconsciously raised his eyebrows to look at Jiang Yubai, "Captain Jiang, thank you for your hard work in realigning the formation."
Jiang Yubai glanced at him, lowered his eyes to look at the route marked with a red line on the map, and frowned.
He couldn't help but think of what Ruan Yuntang had reminded him twice.
He glanced at the sky, then turned to look at Deputy General Su and said:
"That route won't work. The weather is unpredictable. Long droughts can lead to heavy rains, which can easily cause landslides and mudslides..."
Before he could finish, Yang Chuan interrupted with a sneer:
"Jiang Tuan, you won't say anything nonsense just because I found the nearest way first!"
"How could there be a torrential rain on such a beautiful day?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the sky and looked at Jiang Yubai with suspicion.
Jiang Yubai didn't say anything more, only suggesting: "To ensure that there are no problems with the food and fodder at the front, it would be better to split the troops into two groups."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and nodded.
Yang Chuan frowned, he suspected that Jiang Yubai might have a closer way.
Thinking of this, he quickly found Song Wei.
Song Wei avoided the people in the group and walked to a secluded corner to meet Yang Chuan, and whispered:
"I just inquired about it. This time the route is still through the village, and the journey is extremely slow."
Yang Chuan felt relieved, and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when I make a contribution, I will definitely take care of you."
Then he held his head high and walked towards his team.
Before leaving, he pretended to persuade Jiang Yubai a few words.
But he knew that Jiang Yubai was furious and would definitely not go the same way as him.
After Jiang Yubai's team left, he slowly led the group up the mountain.
They stopped and rested along the way, laughed and talked, and everyone admired Yang Chuan to the extreme.
This route can shorten the journey by half, and even if they take their time, they can still arrive two days before Jiang Yubai.
But unexpectedly, one night, there was a sudden muffled thunder in the sky.
All the laughter stopped instantly and everyone looked at Yang Chuan.
Yang Chuan felt a little panicked. Could it be that Jiang Yubai had guessed it right?
Soon, he thought it was just thunder. It hadn't rained here for half a month. How could he be so unlucky?
But he still ordered: "Everyone speed up."
"yes!"
Seeing that the battalion commander was so worried, everyone calmed down.
The group set out overnight.
Halfway through the journey, the Thunder God really stopped.
The group of people resumed their previous laughter and joy.
"What does that uneducated, reckless fellow know? It's our Captain Yang who is educated and strategic!"
"Yes, Captain Yang can find the shortest route just by looking at the map without even needing to scout the way. He's really amazing!"
"Luckily we were assigned to Captain Yang's team, otherwise we would have been wandering hundreds of miles like those idiots!"
