Chapter 51: The Message
"Boss, I still think that we should just keep Yu Zhile in the police station to prevent what happened to Zhang Zhenhua from happening again."
Lin Zhong's voice rang out in the darkness, without any emotion in it.
Ning Tan didn't say anything, so he continued talking.
"From the death of Erzhu and the others to Zhang Zhenhua, Yu Zhile is an enemy spy who kills without blinking an eye. If he continues to be let go, the boy today will definitely be doomed."
"Boss, I know you have a deep friendship with Zhou Yuesheng, but this concerns another person's life."
"I was a soldier myself, and I know it is difficult to give up this kind of comradeship, but life is more precious than anything else."
Lin Zhong advised in a deep voice.
"Wait." Ning Tan said.
Lin Zhong's sigh sounded very heavy in the dark environment where hearing was keen.
He closed his eyes and made a gesture similar to prayer.
The chirping of insects at night is loud and rapid, while the croaking of frogs is slow and loud.
"Quack." Another frog sound appeared, interweaving with the previous sound.
Ning Tan knew that Zhou Yuesheng had arrived, and he tapped his wrists with his fingers to translate the message he sent.
[Dazhu Village, sent his confidants to protect him. ]
Zhou Yuesheng left after leaving only one sentence.
The second half of the night was calm and Ning Tan and Lin Zhong remained silent all night.
At daybreak, another group of people came to take over the shift.
"If a stranger appears, follow and investigate immediately, then report back to town." Ning Tan ordered.
One of the people in the third group has relevant experience and is capable enough to handle this tracking task.
"Okay, boss, I'll make sure to complete the task perfectly." The man saluted him.
Ning Tan patted his shoulder and reminded him: "Be careful."
After saying that, he and Lin Zhong walked back to the town and met a girl carrying a heavy load from afar.
Ning Tan had seen her in Huaxi Village.
Du Nanzhi set out from Huaxi Village before dawn and met no one along the way. Suddenly, she saw two tall men stopped by the roadside.
She leaned against the tree, lowered her head and panted, and gripped the carrying pole more tightly.
Lin Zhong's gaze stayed on her for a few moments and then moved away.
Two people walked past her.
After walking a distance, Ning Tan asked, "I heard from Xiao Ba that you have a daughter? Is she as old as her?"
"No, he's only nine years old." Speaking of the child, Lin Zhong's expression softened.
Ning Tan handed him a cigarette and said, "It's over, let's get together, bring your daughter along."
"Let's talk about it later." Lin Zhong took the cigarette and smiled.
On the other side, Du Nanzhi saw their figures gradually getting smaller, breathed a sigh of relief, and set off again.
After walking for a while, she saw smoke rising from the direction of Haiyu Village and quickened her pace.
In the Yu family courtyard, Zhou Yuesheng got up the earliest, followed by Yu Yue.
Yu Yue pushed his wheelchair into the kitchen and suddenly said, "Thank you."
"This is my mission." Zhou Yuesheng said in a flat tone.
He had his back to Yu Yue, and Yu Yue could only see his arms raised.
The pitch of the water pouring sound gradually increased and finally disappeared.
Zhou Yuesheng pressed the wooden stopper into the bamboo tube that was eight-tenths full, shook it twice, and seeing no signs of leakage, he turned around and threw it to Yu Yue.
"Don't block the way here." He glanced at Yu Yue and went to get rice to cook porridge.
Just as the fire was lit, there was a knock on the door in the yard.
Yu Yue sat under the eaves, applying a hot bamboo tube to his knees, preparing to open the door.
"Sit down." Zhou Yuesheng held the wheelchair handle from behind and walked straight towards the gate.
"Hello, I'm looking for Yu Zhile." Du Nanzhi felt fear unconsciously when she saw him for the first time.
Zhou Yuesheng stepped aside to let her in and said, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go call her."
Du Nanzhi thanked him in a low voice, picked up the burden and walked in, looking a little embarrassed.
At that time, Yu Zhile happened to push the door open and Zhou Yuesheng went straight back to the kitchen.
"Nanzhi, you're here." She greeted Du Nanzhi.
"Yes, I'm sorry I came so late." Du Nanzhi's first reaction was to bow her head and apologize, stumbling to explain, "I, I have something going on at home."
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "It's okay, you can come whenever it's convenient for you."
"Let me introduce it to you." Du Nanzhi visibly breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the lid of the basket, revealing the plants inside.
The bottom of the basket is surrounded by a circle of herbs with their roots wrapped in wet soil, and in the center are climbing vines, which are pulled and fixed to the upper layer of the basket wall.
The plants this time are in very good condition and full of vitality, with misty green leaves and some even with flower buds.
Yu Zhile nodded and turned on the live broadcast.
"The flowers of the firecracker flower are red and grow in bunches."
"Wisteria, the flowers are purple and can be eaten, either fried in batter or blanched and served cold."
"Four Gentlemen, the flowers are pink and white."
"These are vines that bloom in spring and early summer. There are five of each."
When talking about plants, Du Nanzhi's state becomes energetic.
While she was introducing it, viewers had already started leaving comments and reservations in the barrage.
[Flowers can be eaten? I want to buy them! ]
[They are all mine, no one can snatch them from me. ]
Du Nanzhi introduced all the plants in one breath and assured: "I have written down the maintenance methods. Don't worry, I won't charge you if they don't survive."
"You've taken good care of them. They're very vital." Yu Zhile touched the mud ball which was still wet.
Du Nanzhi clenched her fingers and said timidly: "I raised these from seedlings. I hope you treat them well."
Upon hearing this, some viewers started to make some fun, listing their own conditions in the barrage.
"I definitely will." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
She cut off the live broadcast and asked Du Nanzhi to follow her into the house to get the money.
Du Nanzhi looked at the great unity in front of him and was flattered. He waved his hand and said, "No, we don't need so much. These are all raised in the mountains."
Her movements were a bit too big, and her collar tilted slightly to one side, revealing the red mark left by the carrying pole.
"They are worth the price." Yu Zhile stuffed the money into her hand and asked her to sit down.
Du Nanzhi didn't understand what was going on, but she still sat down on the bamboo chair.
"Next time you can dig the plants the night before. It doesn't matter if they don't grow so well." Yu Zhile first took out the disinfectant and washed the tiny wounds on her fingers.
Du Nanzhi quietly raised her eyes to look at her, her face slightly red: "It's okay, it's freshly dug."
"Safety is more important." Yu Zhile advised, and then suggested, "How about I go to Huaxi Village to collect them in the future?"
"No, no, don't come." Du Nanzhi reacted violently.
Yu Zhile felt it was a bit strange, and his eyes were filled with inquiry.
Du Nanzhi's lips were pursed into a straight line.
After a while, she explained: "In our village, outsiders are not very welcome."
"Then you should prepare it the night before next time." Yu Zhile smiled and said in a more intimate tone, "I will check it."
"Yeah, okay." Du Nanzhi nodded.
Yu Zhile took out the medicine for trauma and pointed to the shoulder.
"Thank you." Du Nanzhi gently pulled open his collar, "You are so nice."
The Yu family's medicinal wine was sent back by Yu Haiguang before. It only needs to be rubbed until it is slightly warm, and the effect will be very good.
Before leaving, Du Nanzhi thanked him repeatedly.
After unloading all the plants in the corner, Yu Zhile saw her out and wrapped a boiled egg fresh out of the pot with a handkerchief for her, saying softly, "It's just cooked, be careful not to burn yourself."
"Thank you." Du Nanzhi's eyes were slightly red.
After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "I, I know a valley with many beautiful flowers. If there is a chance, I will take you to see it."
"Okay." Yu Zhile smiled.
On the hillside, a man jumped off a tree and followed Du Nanzhi quietly.
Zhou Yuesheng’s breakfast was simple: white porridge, boiled eggs, and a plate of fried pickles.
After breakfast, Yu Zhile lay on the table and wrote the plan for the food stall.
She plans to open a breakfast and lunch business, selling lighter seafood soup rice noodles or wontons in the morning, and spicy and pickled pepper rice noodles for lunch.
Following this idea, she wrote down the ingredients needed for each dish based on a mind map.
Making rice noodles is relatively simple for her, but the large bones needed for the soup of rice noodles are somewhat difficult to prepare, so she put a question mark next to it.
Two different flavors of rice noodles are listed in the same way. Currently, we are in urgent need of pickled ginger and pickled radish for making the base of stir-fried pickled peppers, as well as a large amount of pickled peppers.
Thinking of the wild pepper on the mountain, Yu Zhile closed the cap of his pen and prepared to go up the mountain.
"I'm going to the mountain to pick some wild peppers." She carried the bamboo basket and greeted Zhou Yuesheng and Yu Yue.
Zhou Yuesheng has difficulty moving, so she has to go up the mountain alone.
Yu Yue clenched the pages of the book and suggested, "Why don't we wait until Chen Zhao gets off work before going?"
"No, I can do it alone. I will be careful about safety." Yu Zhile showed him the sharpened hatchet in his hand.
She went out alone, and Yu Yue was quite worried.
Zhou Yuesheng glanced at Yu Chi, who was carved under the tree, and whispered, "Don't worry, someone is watching her and will ensure her safety."
He paused and continued, "Remember the day before yesterday when you said you always felt like you were being watched?"
"Huh? Is he also Ning Tan's man?" Yu Yue asked.
Zhou Yuesheng shook his head and replied: "Yu Haiguang, my teammate, your father."
As soon as these three words came out, the atmosphere gradually became silent.
"Who?" Yu Yue found his voice again.
Zhou Yuesheng repeated those words carefully.
Yu Yue blinked, and suddenly felt that the sounds in the yard were getting louder and louder in his ears.
He could hear Moore's humming, the friction sound of Yu Chi scratching the bark with a stone, and even the sound of the animal crawling and swinging its tail.
"Lock the door and push me to the backyard." Yu Yue held the wheelchair armrests tightly with both hands.
At the same time, Yu Zhile arrived at the path leading to the wild pepper field.
Perhaps because no one visits, the tenacious wild grasses are growing inward from both sides of the path.
"Why are you suddenly live streaming?" Yu Zhile read out the question on the screen, and then continued to answer, "My friend and I are going to set up a stall at the market. There is a high probability that we will make pickled pepper rice noodles, so we need to prepare some pickled peppers in advance."
[Pickled pepper rice noodles? I’ve never made it before, looking forward to it.]
[By then, is it possible that you could accidentally sell me a bowl? ]
"I'll consider it." Yu Zhile also felt that this was a good opportunity to sell cooked food.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of branches breaking behind her.
