Chapter 8 Little White Flower? Drama Queen!
When the soldiers of the PLA reconnaissance company rushed into the temple gate, they saw wolf paw prints all over the ground.
Captain Zhao, the leader of the team, touched the bullet hole on the wall and frowned: "It seems that the gunshot just now came from here..."
"Report!" The little soldier helped a "weak" girl out from behind the shrine, "We found the crowd!"
Lin Xiaobai leaned palely in Tang Jingmo's arms, holding a handful of wild grass in his hand: "Comrades of the People's Liberation Army... I went up the mountain to collect herbs and encountered a pack of wolves... Fortunately, you came in time!"
Tang Jingmo almost couldn't hold it in.
This girl pretends to be a little white flower swaying in the wind and rain. Who would have thought that she had wiped out a group of armed bandits not long ago!
Captain Zhao suddenly stared at Tang Jingmo's military uniform: "Who is this comrade..."
"Tang Ergou, I'm her fiancé."
The moment Tang Jingmo blurted out the words, his right arm had already been raised reflexively, with his five fingers pressed together against his temples - a standard military salute posture.
This action stunned everyone, including himself.
Lin Xiaobai pinched himself secretly to hold back his laughter. This idiot couldn't change his muscle memory even though he lost his memory!
Captain Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Jingmo's blood-stained military uniform.
Although the clothes were bloodstained and torn, the wear and tear on the collar was clearly caused by wearing collar badges for a long time, and there were stitches on the shoulder line where the epaulettes had been removed.
"Comrade, this outfit..." Captain Zhao patted his shoulder casually, his fingertips touching the seam of the fabric and then leaving, "It looks like a regular military uniform, right?"
Tang Jingmo's heart was throbbing. A few fragmented images flashed through his mind: the training ground, the tactical sand table, and... the inauguration ceremony? But he couldn't remember anything more specific.
"I picked it up." Lin Xiaobai suddenly interrupted.
Everyone's eyes were on her.
"I picked him up." Lin Xiaobai pretended to be ashamed, lowered his head and said shyly: "I went up the mountain to collect herbs, and saw him unconscious in the woods wearing a military uniform. He didn't look like a bad guy, so I saved him."
"He said he was your fiancé." Captain Zhao is an investigator as expected, he directly pointed out the inconsistency.
Tang Jingmo also looked at Lin Xiaobai, waiting for her explanation.
"Hmm~" Lin Xiaobai tugged at the corner of her clothes with her hands, a little shy, "I was attracted by your beauty and lied to him, but he took it seriously."
“Ahem…”
There was a dry cough all around, especially among the young soldiers who were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
Captain Zhao said "hmm" without commenting, and suddenly reached out to look at Tang Jingmo: "Did you bring your ID?"
Tang Jingmo subconsciously reached for the inner pocket of his chest - this action made Captain Zhao's eyes suddenly sharp.
Lin Xiaobai grabbed Tang Jingmo's arm and said, "Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, his head was hit by a rock and he lost his memory. He can't even remember his own name..."
Before she finished her words, there was a sudden roar of engines in the distance. Two jeeps covered in camouflage nets rolled through the mud, and the red flags on the front of the cars fluttered in the mountain wind.
Tang Jingmo's expression became serious, and a sentence emerged in his mind - this is the type of car that is only equipped for units above the division level!
"Well," Captain Zhao suddenly put on a businesslike smile, "Comrade Tang Ergou, please come back with us to the base to check his injuries and verify his identity."
He made a "please" gesture to Tang Jingmo, and the two soldiers had already sealed the temple gate silently.
The hair on the back of Tang Jingmo's neck stood up. Although his memory was fuzzy, his body was already on alert - the angles of these people's positions were clearly a tactical formation to prevent him from breaking out!
"Okay~" Lin Xiaobai readily responded on behalf of Tang Jingmo and patted him on the shoulder, "I heard that there are the best doctors in the army, just in time to help him cure his amnesia~"
She wished she could get rid of the coffin face as soon as possible, as meeting him was never a good thing.
I originally wanted to torture him while he was losing his memory.
Now it seems that his body has some status. Two groups of people are chasing him in one night. It's too troublesome and I don't want to deal with it.
After sending the troublemaker away, Lin Xiaobai hummed a little tune as he went down the mountain. On the vine in his hand were three hares and two pheasants. The teeth marks on the necks of the prey were neat and tidy, and they were all killed with one blow.
She weighed the heavy harvest and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth - this wolf cub is quite capable and knows how to use the prey as "money for his life".
"I accept the gift!" She suddenly turned around and shouted towards the dark forest in a drawn-out voice, "I will protect you from now on - Big Wolf!"
The mountain wind swirled the fallen leaves, and a faint wolf howl could be heard in the distance. It actually sounded like a relief.
"noob--!"
A stumbling figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the mountain road. Lin Xiaoan's face was covered in mud, and his trouser legs were scratched by thorns. The moment he saw her, his face was covered with tears and snot, and he looked like a dog drenched by rain.
"Yo~" Lin Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and threw the pheasant into his arms, "Were you chased by a wolf? Are you crying like this?"
"No, no..." Lin Xiaoan tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, his knuckles turned white, "Eldest sister...Eldest sister is missing! This morning she went to grandma's house to ask for food to make pancakes for you, and she hasn't come back yet..."
With a "crack", the hare leg bone in Lin Xiaobai's hand was suddenly crushed. "What did grandma say?"
"They said my sister took the food and left, but we haven't seen her since. My eldest brother has gone to look for her."
Xiao Bai still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were gradually freezing: "So, my pancakes are gone?"
Lin Xiaoan's expression choked. Shouldn't he be concerned about where the person has gone?
He stammered, "We were in a hurry and forgot...forgot to prepare food..." His voice became lower and lower.
"Lead the way, let's go to grandma's house for breakfast!"
Lin Xiaoan shuddered. The look in her eyes was frightening.
The ancestor of the Lin family was very far-sighted and lucky. He chose Longshen Mountain as the place to move to. Over the years, the weather has been good and the grain harvest has been much better than other places.
This also formed the eating habit of three meals a day for the people of Longshan Village.
Lin Xiaobai kicked open the elm door of the old house. The broken door bolt hit the bluestone slab, startling the chickens pecking at food in the yard and making them fly up to the top of the wall.
The main room was steaming hot. Old Mrs. Lin was distributing freshly-made steamed buns to everyone. The pickled cucumbers on Chen Cuihua's chopsticks were dripping with sauce, and Lin Dazhuang was slurping corn paste with deafening noises.
The laughter at the dinner table stopped abruptly.
"Hey, are you eating?" Lin Xiaobai walked in with his hands behind his back, and Lin Xiaoan behind him was covered with prey.
Meat! The eyes of several members of the Lin family followed Lin Xiaoan and could not move away.
She sat down on the bench, grabbed the steamed bun and started to bite it. It had a natural wheat aroma and a hint of sweetness when chewed. It was the taste of happiness!
"A starving ghost reincarnated?" Chen Cuihua glanced at Lin Xiaobai with her eyes tilted, "Aren't some people very capable? Didn't they get food from the wolf den in the back mountain?"
“Crack!”
The chopping knife scraped against Shen Cuihua's earrings and pierced into the table, and the handle vibrated hummingly.
Shen Cuihua hiccuped in shock.
"Where's my sister?" Lin Xiaobai slowly broke open the second steamed bun, revealing his white canine teeth in the steam. "I heard she came to borrow food this morning..."
The chopsticks in Old Lady Lin's hand flickered out a shadow: "You are asking for death and losing money! You just robbed me of a bowl of flour and left. I——"
"Bang!"
The ceramic bowl exploded into pieces at Old Lady Lin's feet. Lin Xiaobai licked the steamed bread crumbs off his canine teeth, and the tip of the knife slowly slid across the edge of the table: "I'm not here to listen to nonsense. Count to three and one - if no one tells me the answer, I'll cut you one by one."
Lin Dazhuang stared at the hatchet on the dining table, sweating profusely.
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaobai tilted his head and locked his eyes on him.
"In the cellar! In the cellar!" He fell to his knees. "We thought you would never come back... We just wanted to find her a husband..."
