But, to be honest, she didn't like Sun Hongli either. Let alone anything else, the fact that Sun Hongli inexplicably sowed discord between her and the children during dinner that night made her dislike her.
What's even funnier is that Sun Hongli is very self-righteous. She thinks that because she is a city person and her family members are all workers, she is superior to others and can't stand other people's living conditions being better than hers.
Frankly speaking, Feng Zhiyi wouldn't even bother giving such a person a second glance.
"Sister Zhiyi, in a couple of days we are going to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables, and pick some sea buckthorns to dry and use them to make tea. Do you want to go with us?" Ma Hongying asked again.
Feng Zhiyi nodded and said, "Okay. When you leave, please come to my house and call me. I'm afraid I'll forget when I get busy."
"Okay! No problem!"
The three of them chatted while loosening the soil, and soon the vegetable plot was dug up. Then they started sowing and cultivating chili seedlings. After scattering the vegetable seeds, Feng Zhiyi went to fetch two buckets of water to water the plants.
When watering, she added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the water, so that the seeds could germinate and grow sooner.
When Feng Zhiyi, Ma Hongying and Yang Xiulan had finished watering the entire field, the three little kids were still digging hard on the side.
The three siblings stood in a row, from tallest to shortest, swinging their small hoes back and forth. Although they didn't dig up much soil in the end, their hard work made everyone burst into laughter.
......
That night.
After the three children fell asleep, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao got up at the same time.
Night Owl slipped out of the army and drove straight to the urban area of Jincheng.
Because it was already 9 p.m., the roads were dark, quiet, and deserted, making it the perfect time for a high-speed chase.
Lu Lingxiao floored the accelerator, and what would normally be a half-hour journey took only sixteen or seventeen minutes to reach the city.
Lu Lingxiao parked the car on the side of the road not far from the state-run restaurant, closed the car door, and then took Feng Zhiyi to meet up with Qin An and the others.
Just as Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi knocked on a house, the gate opened and a figure rushed out. The person looked at Lu Lingxiao and was instantly delighted.
"Captain, you're here..."
Qin An had only spoken halfway through his sentence, and the joy on his face had only just begun to show when he froze on the spot. Why had the regimental commander brought his sister-in-law along?
"How is the situation?" In the quiet night, the man's deep voice slowly rang out.
As if he hadn't noticed Qin An's surprised expression, Lu Lingxiao took Feng Zhiyi by the hand and walked calmly into the courtyard. He had bought this courtyard three years ago and would stay here whenever he had something to do.
Qin An hurriedly followed after them and closed the door. "Su Qing and her mother have been staying in the hotel since they entered the city this afternoon. Apart from Su Qing occasionally scolding her sister-in-law, we haven't noticed anything unusual."
He paused, then continued, "But another group of people are acting rather strangely. It seems they have acquaintances in Jincheng, so they aren't staying in a hotel, but rather in a courtyard."
"Who's guarding there?"
Qin An hurriedly replied, "Xiao Wu and Sun Wukong are guarding over there. I just came back from the hotel and thought you'd be here soon, so I came to meet you."
"Huh? Weren't those people sent by Jiang Peizhen specifically to help Su Qing? Why aren't they staying together?" Feng Zhiyi asked, somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that those people coming to help Su Qing deal with her were fake, and they had other motives?
I have to say, Feng Zhiyi revealed the truth.
"Because they came here for Meng Po's gang. Helping Su Qing is just a side job. Their real purpose is to rescue Meng Po and Feng Erhu."
After speaking, Lu Lingxiao suddenly stopped, then lowered his head and gazed at Feng Zhiyi. Looking at the girl in front of him, his deep starry eyes naturally filled with tenderness, and... worry.
Lu Lingxiao pursed his lips before continuing, "Zhizhi, if you don't have anything else to do during this time, try to avoid going into the city. I'm afraid they might harm you."
Feng Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
"You mean to say that the people who came here are from southern Xinjiang?"
"right!"
Lu Lingxiao knew how smart his wife was, and that he couldn't hide these things from her at all, so he simply told her directly to avoid her secretly going on an adventure behind his back.
Feng Zhiyi softly replied, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Now that she knew those people had come to rescue Meng Po and the others, Feng Zhiyi naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Because Meng Po and the others knew her constitution was suitable for raising Gu worms for the people of Southern Xinjiang, therefore—
She must first strengthen her hands!
She must not let the people from southern Xinjiang see Meng Po and the others, otherwise the fact that she had a special physique would no longer be concealed.
Once one's physical constitution is exposed, a constant stream of troubles will follow.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhiyi pulled Lu Lingxiao aside and asked directly, "Did you get anything out of Meng Po and her group? If not, I can help you."
"How...are you going to help?"
Lu Lingxiao looked at her, completely bewildered.
The people in southern Xinjiang are very tight-lipped. The younger ones were better off. They confessed all the information they knew within two days. Unfortunately, there was not much useful information.
What's giving them a headache now are the ringleaders. They've used several torture methods over the past few days, even breaking their hands and feet, but they still haven't been able to get Meng Po and Feng Erhu to talk.
Feng Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, took out a small ceramic bottle from her pocket and handed it to him, "Here you go. It contains the Truth Pill. You just need to feed it to Meng Po and the others, and you will get the result you want."
Lu Lingxiao, “…”
Is his wife a fairy?
Feng Zhiyi seemed to see through his thoughts and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Don't thank me too much~! After all, you, Captain Lu, are the luckiest person in the world, being able to marry a magical fairy like me!"
Lu Lingxiao's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he wanted to say, "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that you don't scare me half to death one day."
The little girl would pull out some strange thing every now and then. If his heart hadn't been strong enough, he probably would have been scared to death by now.
Are we going straight to the state-run hotel?
"Well, come on, I'll take you inside to change your clothes first, then decorate a little and then go to the hotel."
After Lu Lingxiao finished speaking, he led Feng Zhiyi into the house. He put the ceramic bottle into his pocket and, just like the previous two times, asked nothing and said nothing.
It was as if the two of them had reached a consensus and tacit understanding: she gave it to him, and he took it without asking why.
Because he was waiting, waiting for the day when Feng Zhiyi would take the initiative to speak out.
Moreover, Lu Lingxiao discovered that his wife wasn't deliberately hiding anything from him. She seemed to be sending out some signals bit by bit, allowing him to understand and perceive them on his own...
