Rong Jiaojiao didn't think that way, but whether it would work out or not, she would only know after going there.
Without explaining further, and seeing that her parents agreed, she left the military camp and quietly rode on Ziling's back to the seaside.
Instead of rushing to find her second brother, she asked the soldier on guard duty to help her contact Zheng Weiguo.
More than an hour later, Rong Jiaojiao was led by a soldier to find Rong Zhiyuan, and in her hand was a leave slip that allowed Rong Zhiyuan to take five days off.
Meanwhile, Zheng Weiguo and the other leaders were in the granary, looking at hundreds of bags of grain and grinning foolishly.
Rong Zhiyuan and Rong Jiaojiao were still in a daze when they sat on Ziling's broad back.
How did his sister get several days' worth of leave slips? How did Zi Ling turn into a giant sable several meters tall?
Rong Jiaojiao talked to him for a while before he responded normally.
He asked, "Jiaojiao, your brother's wedding was so rushed, how are the arrangements for the new house?"
Rong Jiaojiao said, "He used the other room in the main house as his bridal chamber."
Rong Zhiyuan frowned: "Then where do you live?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Just release the little wooden house at night and put it away during the day."
Rong Zhiyuan also wanted to say that he would go out that night and squeeze in with his old buddies, but his sister's suggestion was also feasible.
Rong Zhiyuan's return home was another lively occasion.
On the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the resounding bugle call pierced the morning mist.
Wearing a brand-new Type 65 military uniform with a big red flower pinned to his chest, Rong Zhigao boarded the Liberation truck surrounded by his comrades.
The front of the train was decorated with large red silk flowers, and the sides of the carriage were covered with red slogans that read "The army and the people are united as one family."
"The groom is here!"
Zhao Shuxuan, along with Zhao Shumeng's sisters, helped Zhao Shumeng, who had braided pigtails, into the car.
The bride was wearing a brand-new red plaid wool coat, made from a fabric specially ordered by Zhao's mother.
Her blushing face was even more vibrant than the red silk flower on her chest.
As the truck slowly drove back to the barracks, the entrance to the mess hall was already crowded with soldiers.
It's unclear who started it, but the majestic "March of the People's Liberation Army" resounded through the sky:
"Forward! Forward! Forward! Our ranks march towards the sun..."
Rong Jiaojiao stood at the front of the crowd, watching her older brother and sister-in-law get out of the car hand in hand.
Zhao Shumeng's dowry was quite substantial, including two new quilts and two boxes whose contents were unknown.
There was also a sewing machine, a bicycle, a radio, a watch, an enamel basin with the double happiness symbol printed on it, and two red-cased thermos flasks.
…………
Around noon, at the canteen of the 56th Normal University.
"I bow to the great leader!" Wei Guodong, the officiant at the wedding, shouted loudly.
The newlyweds turned to face the portrait of Chairman Mao in the center of the cafeteria and bowed deeply.
Thunderous applause erupted in the cafeteria.
"Second bow to my revolutionary comrades!"
When Rong Zhigao pulled Zhao Shumeng to bow to all the officers and soldiers of the regiment, the canteen erupted in applause.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
When their foreheads gently touched, some mischievous kid shouted "Give me a kiss!" which caused the whole room to burst into laughter.
Zhao Shumeng was so embarrassed that she hid behind her husband, while Rong Zhigao's ears turned as red as dark red hawthorns.
After the banquet began, the cooks served some rare and impressive dishes: braised wild boar, steamed sea fish, and roe deer stew with vermicelli.
The soldiers stood up together to toast the newlyweds, using enamel mugs printed with "Serve the People".
"Wishing Comrade Rongzhigao and his wife a speedy birth of their son!"
No sooner had one soldier finished speaking than someone tapped him on the head: "You're talking about successors to the revolution!"
Someone started it, and blessings followed one after another; today's blessings will accompany the two of them for a lifetime...
After the New Year, everything returned to normal, and Rong Zhigao decided to rent a house in a small town outside the base.
The Zhao family had already made plans for them, finding Zhao Shumeng a job as a primary school teacher in the small town.
Rong Jiaojiao also said goodbye to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I may be gone for several years this time. Don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself."
This is a decision I made with my master over the past few days. We plan to travel to the rainforest and the snow country, where there are two major spiritual veins, where we may find more opportunities.
The couple were reluctant and worried, but they knew that their daughter had her own path to follow, and they couldn't stop her.
They kept telling us, "Please be careful and take good care of yourselves. We're waiting for you to come back."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly: "I will. I will come back to take care of you. I will be careful."
Rong Lianhu stood aside and said to Qing Xuanzi, "Brother, I'm entrusting Jiaojiao to you."
Qing Xuanzi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Zi Ling jumped from Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder to Fu Ya's shoulder, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little paws, squeaking as if to comfort her.
“Oh, right,” Rong Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something, took out a jade pendant and handed it to her father, “Dad, please keep this safe. If anything happens at home, I can sense it if it breaks.”
Rong Lianhu took the jade tablet and saw that it was engraved with intricate runes, which shimmered with a faint spiritual light.
Rong Lianhu, please keep this safe...
After sending Rong Zhiyuan back to the military camp, Rong Jiaojiao and Qing Xuanzi left immediately.
To reach the snow country, they had to cross the ocean, so they decided to go by sea, which would also be a way of finding resources at sea.
Rong Jiaojiao stood on the shore, the salty sea breeze ruffling her hair.
Zi Ling perched on her shoulder, her little paws gripping her collar tightly, as if afraid of being blown away by the wind.
"Master, are we really going to fly over there?" Rong Jiaojiao looked at the vast ocean, somewhat apprehensive. "What if we encounter a powerful sea monster? Will we be able to escape?"
"Did your precognitive abilities tell you whether traveling by sea was dangerous?"
Rong Jiaojiao sensed it carefully for a moment, then shook her head: "No."
Qing Xuanzi said, "Most powerful demons are asleep, so we shouldn't encounter them."
Together, the two of them could handle even a peak Earth Master level demon beast.
Rong Jiaojiao asked again, "But how do we get there?"
Qing Xuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, taking out a yellowed sea chart from his sleeve: "I was prepared."
"This is a shipping route map that I obtained from a maritime merchant many years ago. It marks several islands where we can rest."
Rong Jiaojiao carefully examined the nautical chart and found that in addition to the regular shipping routes, there were dense red dots that made her dizzy.
Since she couldn't understand it anyway, she asked, "Master, have you been wanting to go abroad to see the world for a long time?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Yes, after breaking through to the Xuan Master realm, I went out to train and went to many places. Later, I obtained this sea chart by chance, and this idea came to me at that time."
He put away the sea chart: "Let's go, I'll take you for a while on my sword, and then we'll take turns flying."
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master, Ziling and I will take turns flying. You have the highest combat power, so don't consume your spiritual power. We need to ensure we have enough combat power so that we can deal with any unexpected situations we encounter."
Qing Xuanzi nodded approvingly: "Jiaojiao is indeed very thoughtful."
Rong Jiaojiao summoned her flying sword, which hovered three feet above the ground.
