The train journey was too tiring. Given her current physical condition, she would probably need to rest for two days to recover. She would stay at the guesthouse for two days and then try to find an opportunity to ask the locals for advice.
See where the troops are, then go over there and ask.
There should be guards at the entrance of the military base. We can ask them if Liu Dekai is there.
After all, he's a deputy battalion commander; he should be able to find out.
I fell asleep while thinking about it.
When I woke up the next day, it was already 3 p.m. If my stomach hadn't been growling with hunger, I probably would have slept until evening.
Su Yueya went into her spatial dimension, quickly prepared some food, and fell asleep again shortly after coming out.
She planned to stay here temporarily, so she booked a room for three days and slept for almost two days to recover.
Taking the train is still too tiring.
Su Yueya didn't get up until nine o'clock that morning.
While having breakfast at the guesthouse, Su Yueya casually asked, "Big sister, how long have you been working here? I have a question for you, may I?"
It was past breakfast time, and there weren't many customers in the lobby. The woman said, "Sure, what would you like to ask?"
"I'd like to ask where the troops are? I'm here to find someone. I just arrived a couple of days ago and I'm not familiar with the area yet."
Su Yueya is pretty and cute, with cat-like eyes, and looks incredibly innocent, like a student who hasn't experienced much of the world.
The woman serving the rice thought for a moment and said, "There's a military unit in the western suburbs and another one near the South Fifth Ring Road, but I don't know which one you want to go to."
"Thank you, big sister."
Su Yueya smiled sweetly and said, "I'll go ask later if the person I'm looking for is here."
After having breakfast, Su Yueya went outside to wait for her car.
There's a bus station nearby, and some cars and buses that aren't driving around.
Su Yueya boarded a bus with a ticket seller, asked around, and learned that she needed to go further inside and take the orange bus.
After thanking her, Su Yueya went to find a car and eventually spent five cents to reach the military base in the western suburbs.
After getting off the bus, Su Yueya looked around and found that the bus stop was not far from the military base, so she walked over.
There were four sentries standing guard outside. Under the scorching sun, they stood tall and motionless, their guns on their chests quite intimidating.
You can also see people in the guard post next door, but the difference is that they are sitting.
Su Yueya walked towards the guard post, and the person inside opened the glass.
"Hello, I'm looking for someone."
Who is it?
“My husband’s name is Liu Dekai. He is a deputy battalion commander. He went home on leave a few days ago, but he suddenly disappeared, so I came to look for him.”
Upon hearing this, the soldier on duty in the guard post went to look up the list.
With so many people in the army, it would be difficult to find ordinary soldiers. Since there are no specific platoons or companies, it would have to be reported up the chain of command so that higher-ups could search for them.
But it's much easier to find a deputy battalion commander.
After all, there aren't many people who hold a position above battalion commander.
The soldier quickly searched and said a few minutes later, "Comrade, are you in the wrong place or have you said the wrong name? There is no deputy battalion commander with the surname Liu in our unit, and there is no battalion commander with the surname Liu either."
Since she was looking for a husband, she shouldn't have misremembered his name. However, there was indeed no deputy battalion commander named Liu Dekai in their unit, but there were two platoon leaders with the surname Liu.
The soldier's probing gaze fell on Su Yueya.
Su Yueya smiled and explained, "I might be mistaken. If he's not here, he might be with the troops in the South Fifth Ring Road area."
"Thank you, I'll go take a look over there."
"You're welcome."
Su Yueya went to the station again, but this time she waited a little longer.
It seemed Liu Dekai wasn't here. Su Yueya remained calm, showing no sign of anything amiss.
The world is so big, and there are so many military units; there's no reason for her to find the right one on the first try.
Anyway, the one thing Su Yueya has plenty of right now is time.
