Chapter 289 Qiang Language
Su Tong burst into tears.
The wind whistled past with a faint whimpering sound.
There is another grave on this sunny slope.
Su Tong stood in front of the grave and bowed solemnly three times.
Zhang Huaian may not be considered a "good guy", but based on his actions during this period, he can be called a "hero".
Su Tong will always remember that there was a man with peach blossom eyes who picked wintersweets for her, celebrated her birthday for her, and even blocked a gun for her.
Qin Yi's face was solemn. He also took a step forward and bowed three times seriously.
Thank you--
Thank you for doing what I didn't have time to do.
Thank you for protecting her for me.
——————
Qin Yi finally agreed to Su Tong's plan.
However, he arranged for Jiang Ying to go with her and bring Huangmao with her, which would be safer.
At the same time, he changed the return route of the main force.
If they could pass through this passage at the bottom of the mountain and reach Dengxian Peak in less than half a day, then if they directly crossed the mountain, they would save at least one day compared to the original route.
Su Tong and Jiang Ying brought Huangmao back to Dengxian Peak, and they were much faster than when they came here.
Everyone was silent, just lowering their heads and hurrying on.
Huangmao was very nervous all the way. Although he was following two women, the two women had cold faces and each one was more terrifying than the other.
It took most of the day to climb up the Immortal Peak. Su Tong and Jiang Ying walked surprisingly fast, as if they were holding back their energy. Huangmao was extremely tired following behind.
Fortunately, he didn't brag. He only used a small tool like a wire or something to open the five heavy copper locks, and it took him less than ten minutes.
The five locks do not lock the stone door, but are the mechanism to open the stone door.
The mechanism was pressed, and as the stone door rumbled open, Jiang Ying shouted:
"I'm Jiang Ying from the third row, ninth squad. Boss Qin has given an order..."
The comrades of the Gale Company acted quickly according to the instructions.
Naturally, they don’t have to worry about what happens next.
The two of them took Huangmao back to Xiaoya Village first.
As soon as they entered the village, they were discovered by public security comrades.
Su Tong and Jiang Ying followed the public security comrades to report to the comrade in charge of the work. Someone had already taken the yellow-haired man away, and how to deal with him was another matter.
The person in charge of public security was a comrade Li who was about 40 years old. After listening carefully to their reports, he asked a lot of questions in detail. He had to understand them clearly before he could cooperate well.
Afterwards, he put his hands behind his back and seriously criticized the two of them for acting on their own.
Then, Jiang Ying was asked to go to the leader of the Jifeng Company to receive punishment, and Su Tong was asked to return to his residence to reflect and was not allowed to go out without permission again.
The two looked at each other silently, then walked away dejectedly.
Su Tong returned to his residence, feeling rarely exhausted both physically and mentally.
The profession of military doctor is almost synonymous with calmness and forbearance. She is used to giving, but not to receiving...
Even afraid to accept it.
She is afraid that she will not be able to repay the kindness others have shown her.
But this time, she just casually gave Zhang Huaian a handful of pills and gave him a few injections, but he stubbornly gave her back - a life.
What should she do? How should she get over this hurdle in her heart?
She lay down and covered herself with the quilt.
But not long after, Zhou Jin's anxious voice was heard outside.
"Sister! Sister Su Tong! Are you there?"
Su Tong opened the door, and Zhou Jin rushed in immediately. He grabbed her and looked her up and down for several times before saying angrily:
"How can you be so brave? How dare you run into the mountains by yourself? You're driving me crazy!"
Zhou Jin always positioned himself as a younger brother in front of her, and rarely spoke so harshly. Su Tong was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
"Got it! Comrade Xiao Zhou! This is just one time, it won't happen again."
She invited Zhou Jin into the house and told him what had happened. Zhou Jin was terrified and deeply moved.
Finally, he said: "I didn't expect Ma Liu and Yan Zi to really die for each other, and I didn't expect Zhang Huaian to do this for you."
After a pause, he sighed and said, "Also, I didn't expect Master Peng to die like this. You don't know how shocking the things he left behind are. The old professor who was rescued said that the research in his laboratory can be compared with national-level research projects..."
"Also..." Zhou Jin lowered his voice and said, "At least three of these eight professors have apparently died in a major accident. Now these few people have unexpectedly appeared from Master Peng. What do you think - is this worth investigating?"
Su Tong also frowned deeply after hearing this.
Zhou Jin continued, "I don't know the details, I can only say that this Mr. Peng is very extraordinary. Don't you think... it's a pity that he died like this? There are no answers to so many things!"
The two chatted about this issue for a while. Zhou Jin saw that Su Tong was not in good spirits, so he asked her to rest early and stood up to leave.
Su Tong saw him out and said as he walked out:
"Congratulations! You've accomplished a great feat on your first mission. If it weren't for your intelligence, the arrest wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"
Zhou Jin scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly:
"My mother studied languages and is from an ethnic minority. She works in ethnic affairs at the provincial government. I was dumb since I was a child, but I inherited her ability in languages. I know about five or six ethnic minority languages. Fortunately, it came in handy this time."
"Well! Very useful!" Su Tong gave him a thumbs up.
"But it's strange. Mr. Peng is a Han Chinese, but he keeps a bunch of Qiang people around him. Doesn't that mean he has to learn Qiang language? Is that necessary?"
Zhou Jin muttered as he waved at Su Tong, "I'm leaving! Go in and have a rest!"
Then he turned and left.
Su Tong stood there in a daze.
Just to keep it secret, is it necessary to learn Qiang language?
Why should a Han Chinese trust a group of Qiang people?
…
She felt something flash through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it for a moment.
——————
When Jiang Ying came over, she saw Su Tong standing blankly at the entrance of the courtyard, looking thin and lonely.
She grabbed Su Tong's hand and dragged her back to the yard.
"Are you still sad about Zhang Huaian's death?" Jiang Ying asked.
Su Tong said: "It will be sad, but - I will adjust, it will take some time."
Jiang Ying nodded, "That's good!"
After a pause, she said, "I have a sister named Jiang Ping. She is very powerful. She was a member of the first batch of Gale Company led by Boss Qin. Later, she was selected to join the special operations team and served under Boss Qin."
Su Tong was surprised. "How amazing it must be to be selected as a female member of the special operations team!"
"Yes! She is the most amazing woman I have ever met! She is also my role model for hard work!"
