Chapter 84: Many Mysteries
She now had a rough idea of what that evil spirit was. If it wasn't controlled by a human, then there was another, even more terrifying possibility—
The black evil energy has developed intelligence!
However, this possibility has not been confirmed yet and can only be speculated.
Qi Xu prayed in his heart that this would not be the worst possible outcome.
When I returned to the yard, the Chinese medicine had already been boiled.
When Qi Xu was thinking about pouring the medicine into a clean bowl, Jiang Hongyi stopped him.
"It's too hot, let me do it."
As he said that, he took the handle of the medicine pot, put a towel under it and started pouring the medicine.
She just wondered what was going on recently. This man always took over her work. She never expected that someone seemed to like her.
Qi Xu boiled another kettle of water and filled a large enamel pot with scented tea.
When the scented tea was brought to the table, Mr. Qi had just finished drinking the Chinese medicine, and his brows were furrowed with bitterness.
Qi Xu stuffed a piece of candied fruit into Qi Hong's mouth in a lightning-fast manner.
"Grandpa, eat quickly and savor it slowly."
During this period of contact, Qi Xu discovered that Mr. Qi actually had the same mentality as children and liked to eat sweet and delicious food.
Sure enough, after the candied fruit was stuffed into Qi Hong's mouth, his frown gradually relaxed.
"Alas, my body is not strong enough. I am sorry to trouble Qi Yatou and Hongyi."
As a result, within a moment of looking up, Qi Hong began to feel sorry for himself again.
"Grandpa, you are not allowed to say that about yourself. What do you mean by trouble? We are the younger generation taking care of the elders."
"As long as you are well, we will all be happy! You will surely live a long life."
Qi Xuke couldn't stand the fact that Mr. Qi didn't take him seriously.
She walked behind Mr. Qi, half-knelt down, raised her arms to massage his shoulders and comfort him.
"Knock, knock, knock! Captain Jiang, the leader sent someone to tell you that he wants you and your sister-in-law to go to the base camp."
The person who came was Luo Jingfeng. Usually, he was the one who ran errands for such notifications.
Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi looked at each other and nodded slightly.
In fact, there is no need to guess, Qi Xu is almost certain about the situation, and it is most likely because of Mr. Tian that he asked her to go with him this time.
Qi Xu settled Grandpa Qi and An An, and also prepared food for the two wolf cubs, one big and one small.
After everything was ready, the two followed Luo Jingfeng to the gate of the family compound.
What they didn't expect was that this time there was a special military vehicle to pick them up and take them to the base camp.
"Xiao Qi, we meet again, please get in the car."
Before Qi Xu had time to think, he heard Mr. Tian rolling down the window to take care of them.
Seeing an acquaintance, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi opened the car door and got in without hesitation.
"Mr. Tian, you haven't reported back to headquarters yet?"
Qi Xu thought that it would only take a little over half a day, and this kind of thing could not happen.
"Who said I didn't go back to headquarters? I've already been there and back. Haha, Xiao Qi, are you underestimating me?"
Old Master Tian stroked his beard, lowered his head and said with a smile, pretending to be deep.
"No, no, your skills are unfathomable. I, Qi, am the one who has failed to recognize the true master."
Qi Xu bowed to express his apology and blinked his eyes to pretend to be innocent.
"You're such a spook!"
Mr. Tian had no way to deal with Qi Xu's mischief. He smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Qi, are you really not going to reconsider my last proposal?"
"Mr. Tian, we still have elders and children to take care of at home. Qi Xu can't spare the time."
Jiang Hongyi retorted subconsciously, not wanting others to force Qi Xu to do something she didn't want to do.
"Yeah, yeah, hehe, I know you're the most understanding and you won't make things difficult for me."
Qi Xu nodded in agreement and refused with a smile, which made Mr. Tian swallow back what he wanted to say.
Not long after, the car carried the three people into the office building of the base.
When passing by the dormitory area, Qi Xu turned around to see if there was any evil spirit around the locust tree.
But the car suddenly accelerated, and before she could look, it flashed past.
A hint of doubt arose in Qi Xu's mind.
When the car stopped in front of the office building, a special staff member was waiting for them and led them upstairs.
"Hey, Mr. Tian, thank you for your hard work."
"Is this Captain Jiang Hongyi and his wife? Come in, come in."
As the three of them walked to the door of the conference room, they saw a man in a Zhongshan suit who shook hands with them one by one enthusiastically and led them into the conference room.
Walking into the meeting room, Qi Xu was indeed a little frightened by the scene.
There were so many people that it was impossible to see the end of them.
Jiang Hongyi didn't expect this situation to happen. Several senior leaders he was familiar with also came.
"Look, our hero is here. Everyone, give him a round of applause!"
Before they could react, thunderous applause broke out in the conference room.
When Qi Xu left home, he thought it would be related to the trip to Country R, but he never expected that there would be a welcome ceremony.
A professional fake smile immediately appeared on his face, accompanied by continuous nodding.
Only Jiang Hongyi had a stern face throughout the whole process.
After all, he only appears to be serious in public.
The entire meeting was about the twists and turns of the trip to Country R, and the main speaker must be Mr. Tian.
Qi Xudao didn't know yet that Mr. Tian had this special talent. It would be a pity if he didn't tell crosstalk with such talent.
"Okay, everyone has heard about the numerous difficulties and dangers on this journey to Country R. If it weren't for Mr. Tian, Captain Jiang Hongyi, and his wife, Comrade Qi Xu, our escort mission wouldn't have been completed so perfectly."
"So, we are holding this meeting today to give special recognition to Battalion Commander Jiang Hongyi and Comrade Qi Xu."
It was Qi Xu's first time attending such a meeting. She didn't expect there would be a special host. Then she and Jiang Hongyi were invited to the stage.
Then, I had a certificate and a pen in a packaging box in my hand.
Jiang Hongyi also had a second-class merit badge on his chest.
Before Qi Xu could react, another old man appeared in front of her.
Qi Xu's sixth sense told her that this old man must also have some skills, and his skills were many levels higher than Mr. Tian's.
"Qi Xu, right? Mr. Tian said that you risked your life to protect the soldiers on board many times during the journey."
The old man's eyes were full of admiration. "I added a secret technique to this string. It can withstand a fatal blow in times of crisis. It's a gift for you."
He patted Qi Xu's shoulder solemnly, and took out a string of beads from his sleeve like a magic trick.
Qi Xu thought he would continue to talk, such as asking her to join a special organization, but the old man didn't mention a word.
"I'm sorry, kid. Old Tian will stay on this island on business trips from now on. Please take good care of that old naughty boy."
Hmm? Hmm?
What's going on? Why was she entrusted with such an important task for no apparent reason?
