As Cheng Chun-kui ran, she pressed the button on her small flashlight. When the button was pressed, the flashlight was on; when she lifted her finger, the flashlight went out.
She flashed the flashlight three times.
The man, hidden in the shadows of the trees, also flashed his flashlight three times.
Cheng Chun Kui stopped three steps away from the man. She looked around warily to make sure there was no one else besides the two of them before she spoke.
"Si Muyang hasn't returned yet."
She was facing away from the man, and the man was facing away from her.
This way, the two of them can see the surroundings in a 360-degree angle.
The man's voice was low and deep. He said, "Why haven't they returned yet? Didn't they say they'd be back in two days? Any intelligence?"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "There's no information. Xiao-kui has tried all her connections but still couldn't find out anything about Si Mu-yang."
I was wondering if something had gone wrong on the way. Had he been killed? Could someone have attacked him?!
The man said, "That's impossible! Even if we were to take action, we wouldn't do it now, and we need what he has!"
"Wait two more days and see if there's any news about Si Muyang. Remember your mission: act as soon as he returns!"
Cheng Chunqiu said, "Okay. I'm leaving now. After Si Muyang comes back, you can wait for me here every night."
The man said, "I know."
After Cheng Chun-kui finished speaking, she turned on her flashlight and returned the way she came.
The man standing under the tree warily looked around and at the places Cheng Chunqiu had run past. Only after he was sure that Cheng Chunqiu had run away safely did he quietly leave.
His figure was shrouded in the night. He left without a flashlight, his figure blending perfectly into the darkness.
The next day, when Cheng Xiao Kui woke up, she saw the sunlight streaming in through the curtains and quickly picked up the watch that was on the bedside table.
After checking the time, she slapped her forehead, surprised to find that she had slept until after 9 a.m.
Because she was worried about Si Muyang, she couldn't sleep all night and only fell asleep just before dawn.
The courtyard was quiet, and the faint footsteps of Cheng Chun Kui and Cheng Qiu Kui could be heard, along with their deliberately lowered voices.
"Is Second Sister still not awake? The breakfast is getting cold. Should I wake her?"
"Don't wake her. She's been worried about Comrade Si and hasn't slept well. Let her sleep a little longer. It's okay if it gets cold early. I'll cook her a fresh meal when she wakes up."
"Big sister, you're injured, let me do it!"
"Okra, why didn't you go shopping or see a movie with Du Ziqiang today?"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "He went to the newly bought courtyard house to help me watch the workers. He said he would come and pick me up to go to the movies once the work there was finished."
Cheng Chun-kui said, "No wonder you've been staying home so obediently today. Tsk tsk! It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home. Keeping them here only breeds resentment; their hearts have already flown to their husband's family!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said coquettishly, "Oh, big sister, you're making fun of me! My heart hasn't flown to my in-laws' house yet!"
Cheng Chun Kui said, "Then don't get married. You can stay here and keep me and your second sister company!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "How can that be? We've already got our marriage certificate. And her family has already given the bride price to my second sister!"
Cheng Chunqiu said with a smile, "Look how anxious you are, you get so worked up over just one sentence. I was just joking with you! It seems you really like Du Ziqiang."
Does Du Ziqiang like you? You need to be careful, don't let a man deceive you!
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "He...he initially wanted to help me, but now I think he likes me quite a bit!"
He always says, "Okra, how come you're so pretty?!" Hehe! Sister, do you think he likes me?
Cheng Chunqiu poked Qiu Kui's forehead with her finger. "You're such a big girl, aren't you ashamed? You even talk about things between two people!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "What can't I say to my eldest sister? I tell my eldest and second sisters everything!"
My second sister said that the bride price and dowry are all my property, and the courtyard house is also in my name.
If Du Ziqiang changes his mind in the future, I will take all these assets and not give him a single penny!
With this wealth, even without a man, even if I'm raising my child alone, I can live very well, enjoying the finest food and drink every day!
Cheng Chun Kui nodded slowly, "Your second sister is right. You have a courtyard house, you run your own business, you make a fortune every day, and you have a lot of money in your hands. Even if you raise your child alone in the future, you can still live a fulfilling life!"
It means that if a woman gets divorced and raises her child alone, it will be difficult for her to find a man in the future.
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "My second sister said that the child is her own, and the man is dispensable. If it's okay, then it's okay; if it's not, then kick him out!"
My second sister also said that the demons were all vying for Tang Sanzang because he was practical; if they could get through a battle, they would, and if not, they would eat his flesh, thus avoiding waste of resources.
Cheng Chun Kui opened her eyes wide in surprise, "What's going on in your second sister's head? Her thoughts are completely different from anyone else's!"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "That's why my second sister can write so many great songs!"
Cheng Xiao Kui lay on the bed, her face full of smiles, listening to her older sister and younger sister chatting quietly. What does it mean to live a peaceful and quiet life? This is probably the embodiment of a peaceful and quiet life.
She stretched and sat up, the smile that had been on her face vanishing in an instant.
Si Muyang hasn't returned yet!
She got up to wash up. There was hot water in the thermos in the room, and half a basin of cold water in the basin on the washstand.
She washed up in her room, combed her hair, and then came out of the room.
When Cheng Chun Kui saw her younger sister come out, she hurried over to greet her, "Xiao Kui, you're awake. I'll make you an egg fry and heat up the pancake. You can roll the egg in the pancake and eat it."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Big sister, don't bother! I'm not going to eat breakfast. I'm going to the hospital to find Song Jingchuan and ask him about the situation, to see if he has any news about Si Muyang."
She was so worried about Si Muyang that she couldn't eat a single bite.
Cheng Chun-kui said, "Okay. Go ahead then, and buy some meat buns on the way if you get hungry."
Cheng Xiaokui waved to her sisters and then rode her bicycle to the hospital to find Song Jingchuan.
Cheng Qiu Kui watched Cheng Xiao Kui's back disappear into the distance before she looked away.
She said to Cheng Chun Kui, "Big sister, you're still laughing at me! Look at second sister, her heart is completely devoted to men!"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "I wonder what happened to Comrade Si? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Could it be that my brother-in-law..."
She stopped mid-sentence and looked worriedly toward the end of the road.
She dared not think about whether her second sister could accept such a cruel reality if something happened to Si Muyang.
Cheng Chunqiu quickly spat twice on the ground, "Pah, pah, pah! The bad things won't come true, but the good things will! Comrade Si will definitely be lucky and nothing will happen to him!"
Cheng Qiuqiu realized she had misspoke, and quickly added, "Yes, yes, brother-in-law will be fine! I'm just a blabbermouth; I don't think before I speak!"
While she was talking to her older sister, she unexpectedly saw Song Wenhui riding her bicycle straight into the yard...
Cheng Qiuqiu stepped forward and questioned, "What are you doing here?"
