Li Mingyi was somewhat puzzled by his sister's reaction. He clearly remembered that he and his brother chased a rabbit for a long distance. When they were about to catch the rabbit, he fainted inexplicably. As for what happened afterwards, he could not remember clearly.
Just as he was about to ask his sister, Li Mingxi stopped him. Although he was puzzled as to why his sister didn't let him speak, he still did as she said.
Finally, after dinner was over and everyone had left, Li Aiguo asked, "Tell me, my two brothers, what happened?"
Li Mingxi knew she couldn't hide it from her father, but she couldn't just say she'd run into spies unless she wanted to scare her family to death. So she changed her story and said, "Nothing, I just accidentally ran into two strange people."
When he heard that they had encountered two strange people, and thought of what his second brother had said some time ago, Li Aiguo's face immediately changed. "What strange people? Can you explain what's going on?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Mingxi spoke, "I don't know if they are bad people, but they are just a man and a woman, which is a bit strange."
Niu Cuihua pressed on, "What's so strange about that?"
Li Mingxi tried her best not to be so blunt and didn't mention the word "mission" at all. However, she didn't expect that even though she had tried her best to cover it up, Niu Cuihua and the others were still frightened and their faces turned pale. Obviously, she ignored the sensitivity of people in this era towards people like spies.
Seeing everyone so frightened, Li Mingxi wanted to divert their attention and spoke directly, "By the way, aren't you all wondering how I picked up a roe deer? Actually, it was caught by two soldiers, but they were so busy chasing them that they forgot about it, so I picked it up."
But what she didn't expect was that when her family heard that the soldiers had gone up the mountain, they became even more frightened. Niu Cuihua even asked, "Old man, when did the spies come to our mountain? Why are there soldiers here to arrest people?"
Old Man Li took a puff of his cigarette and spoke slowly, "I don't know either. Since we haven't received any information, it means that this time they are operating in secret!"
After a while, he spoke again, "Forget everything Xiaoxi said just now!"
Li Aiguo suddenly interrupted, "Dad, do you think we should tell my second brother about this? Otherwise, I'm worried that the spies will target Xiaoxi and her siblings."
When Niu Cuihua and Zhang Huilan heard what Li Aiguo said, they immediately thought of this and became extremely worried.
Old Man Li took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly, "What you said makes sense. How about this? You go to the county town tomorrow morning and talk to Lao Er about it. Then the specifics of what to do will be up to Lao Er."
After finishing talking about this, Li Mingxi returned to the room and prepared to rest, but Yue Ze's voice suddenly rang in her ears, insisting that she enter the space once.
Li Mingxi didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. It was because he knew that someone was ambushing her but didn't warn her. She was still angry about it. How could she go to see him?
But Li Mingxi couldn't stand Yue Ze's incessant chattering, so he had to slip into the space.
As soon as Li Mingxi entered the space, Yueze started shaking his head and tail, swaying around her and muttering non-stop, "Don't be angry, I was careless today. I will definitely remind you next time, okay?"
Li Mingxi just watched and listened quietly without saying a word.
Seeing that she still ignored him, Yue Ze changed the subject, "Did you meet any strange people today?"
Knowing the characteristics of this bastard, he must have discovered something. Li Mingxi couldn't help but ask directly, "Why do you say that? Could it be that person?"
Li Mingxi thought of the one called the captain among the two people she picked up today, and he seemed familiar.
Seeing that she remembered, Yue Ze spoke directly, "You have seen that person."
Li Mingxi retorted, "How is that possible?" If she had really seen such a beautiful person, how could she not have any impression of him? Then a picture suddenly came to her mind: a little girl carefully looking at a little boy lying on the bed like Sleeping Beauty.
Li Mingxi exclaimed, "Could it be him?"
Seeing that she finally remembered, Yue Ze said affirmatively, "It's him, but for some reason, I can't feel the power from him!"
Li Mingxi didn't pay attention to what Yue Ze was saying, but she felt it was really magical. The Sleeping Beauty who looked so frail when she was a child has now become a soldier.
Although he was still as sharp-tongued as ever, it couldn't stop Li Mingxi from liking him. She still remembered that after she came back from the provincial capital when she was a child, she couldn't forget the handsome little boy.
In an open space deep in Yueshan Mountain, Huo Jingchen had just finished interrogating the two men and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, he dreamed of the little girl he met when he was hospitalized as a child. The girl was waving at him happily and calling him brother happily. Then the girl's face suddenly changed and she became the woman he met today.
Huo Jingchen suddenly woke up from his sleep, looked at the roof in confusion, and murmured unconsciously, "Li Mingxi?" He didn't understand why the little girl in his dream turned into that Li Mingxi.
Then he suddenly remembered that the annoying guy was called Li Mingxi. When he heard his grandmother say that her family had returned to their hometown, although he didn't say anything on the surface, he still felt lost for a long time.
So he decided in his mind that since this person had the same name as her, whether she was that person or not, she must be just as annoying.
The next morning, before dawn, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle directly to the county town. When he arrived at Li Aidan's house, Li Aidan had not yet gone out to work and was eating in the living room. When he saw Li Aidan coming, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.
"Aiguo, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something?"
Wang Qiuli also advised, "That's right, Aiguo, you came here so early in the morning, you must not have eaten yet. Come, I'll serve you something!" Wang Qiuli said as she was about to serve Li Aiguo some food.
Li Aiguo quickly refused, "No need to serve it, sister-in-law. I ate when I came here. You guys can eat it and don't worry about me."
Li Aidang looked at his fourth brother's absent-minded look and guessed that something was wrong. He asked directly, "What's wrong? You're here so early in the morning. What's the matter?"
When the others heard this, they stopped eating and looked at Li Aiguo with confusion.
Li Aiguo knew that now was not the time to talk, so he quickly said, "Nothing, just a small matter. Second brother, eat first. We'll talk after you finish eating!"
Looking at his fourth brother's embarrassed expression, Li Aidang guessed that the matter must be serious, so he quickened his eating pace.
As expected, just as he thought, the matter was very serious. When Li Aidang first heard Li Aiguo talk about the spies, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
