Chapter 227: Losing Money to Avoid Disaster
"Comrade Zhu, is it convenient for me to sit here?"
Yin Jiayao, carrying a snakeskin bag, walked to Zhu Yunying and waved at her.
When Zhu Yunying heard the voice, she turned around suddenly, stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded: "Of course! Are you going to the Northeast too?"
"Well, I was supposed to report a few days ago, but my mentor needed help, so I spoke to the political commissar and helped with an operation, so I was delayed. Now I have to report on my own."
Yin Jiayao spoke very easily, with a smile on his face the whole time.
But Zhu Yunying was actually not feeling comfortable.
When this person saw me yesterday, he didn't say anything. Why is he trying to get close to me now?
"That's really a coincidence." Zhu Yunying said casually.
Yin Jiayao put the snakeskin bag away, took out two sesame cakes, and handed them to Zhu Yunying: "Comrade Zhu, are you going to the Northeast to visit relatives?"
"Well, I have a friend at the Northeast Forest Farm. I plan to go there for a walk before returning to the Northwest. Otherwise, it will be delayed until the end of time."
"It's far away, thousands of kilometers away. It's really not easy."
The two chatted casually.
Zhu Yunying politely declined Yin Jiayao's sesame cake and instead returned a few apples, saying that the weather was hot and she should eat something high in water content.
She sat by the window and had to go around Yin Jiayao whenever she walked in or out.
Along the way, she was nervous and did not dare to take it lightly.
The military district that Yin Jiayao was going to was the same place as his own. It would be troublesome if he targeted him.
"Teacher Yin, I feel a little stuffy and need to walk in the aisle. Could you please help me watch my luggage?" Zhu Yunying casually pointed to the linen bag on the top shelf and winked at him.
The man glanced at it and nodded: "No problem."
Zhu Yunying came with light luggage, without even taking the kettle on the small table. She said "Excuse me" and left her seat.
She squeezed through the crowd and walked slowly towards the open space where the carriages were connected. She felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind.
This Yin Jiayao always makes people feel eerie and not easy to get close to.
When you go out, be careful about everything.
Sometimes, the people who attack you are often those with whom you are only half-familiar.
She found a deserted place and slipped into the space.
Without giving it much thought, I picked out a new military uniform, tied my hair up and hid it under my hat, and changed my backpack...
The parking bell rang.
Zhu Yunying got off the train without thinking and followed the crowd out of the train station.
The fastest way to get to your destination is by bus.
On the train, a new group of passengers squeezed on and looked for a place to stay.
A big man nudged Yin Jiayao and said, "Young man, come sit inside and let me rest my butt."
"Someone went out to get some fresh air. The cup is still here. I don't have the final say."
Yin Jiayao ignored him.
Seeing his thin arms and legs, the big man didn't take him seriously and started to attack him directly.
Yin Jiayao grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand and exerted force suddenly. The other person immediately grimaced and cried for mercy.
"Do you still want to grab a seat?" Yin Jiayao asked coldly, squinting his eyes and snorting.
The big man begged for mercy directly: "No, no!"
As soon as Yin Jiayao loosened his grip, he ran away.
The car rumbled forward again.
But Zhu Yunying never showed up again. Yin Jiayao stared at her cup for a long time before reaching out to take it and play with it...
Another hour passed and we arrived at the next stop.
Yin Jiayao watched helplessly as the linen bag that Zhu Yunying pointed out to him was taken away by other passengers and got off the bus.
He looked at the large and small bags carried by the whole family, all of which were the same feed bags, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I see.
Escape?
Quite interesting.
He opened the kettle, raised his head, and drank all the water left by Zhu Yunwei.
…
On the other side, the Northeast Forest Farm.
Zhu Yunying got rid of Yin Jiayao, changed to a bus, then a tractor and an ox cart, and traveled for several days before she barely arrived near the Northeast Military Region compound.
The bullock cart driver stopped at a three-way intersection and pointed at a nearby tree. "Little girl, your boyfriend didn't tell you that things are getting a bit rough here lately, and people aren't allowed to go into the compound anymore. You'll have to walk there yourself."
Zhu Yunyao pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile, "He is just a rough guy. He only answers one question out of ten. There is no reliable information. Uncle, what happened here?"
"We're not qualified to ask for details, but a while ago, a military-plated jeep crashed into a tree here, and we weren't allowed to get close anymore..."
Hit a tree?
Could it be Feng Shuo and the others?
Zhu Yunying's heart tightened, and she quickly got off the ox cart and handed over one dollar and a small bag of sesame cakes.
"Thank you, uncle!"
"As you should. Your partner is training here. He's a top-notch talent, dedicated to defending our country. We live nearby and can't be a burden! Be careful on your way!"
"Okay, I'll be careful."
Zhu Yunying walked towards the tree very slowly, but the ox cart waited until she reached the end of the road before turning around and leaving.
She waited for a while until there was no one on the road, then returned to the tree where the car crashed.
Take out a copper coin and throw it into the air!
"Feng Shuo, east, west, south, north, give me a hint, where should I start looking?"
The copper coin drew a parabola in the air——
At the same time, in a cliff cave in the forest, a little boy found a food coupon.
"Sister, sister! These are new food coupons. Can we buy meat?"
"Little Wood, you need meat coupons to buy meat. And, not just food coupons, you need real money."
A little girl with three braids came over, picked up the little boy, snatched the food coupons from his hand and threw them to the ground.
"Don't pick up things from places like this. Someone might be using it to ward off disaster."
"Sister, what does it mean to lose money to avoid disaster?" Little Mu lay on his sister's shoulder, watching the food coupons fall into the dirty puddle.
The little girl smiled and patted him on the back: "It's because you took this food coupon that you can't eat meat and rice, while the person who threw the money coupon can eat it."
"Huh? Why…"
The little boy's voice was full of grievance and dissatisfaction, and he pouted his lips.
The voices of the two people faded away until a soft sigh was heard from the cliff cave.
“Ahem…”
Feng Shuo poked his head out from a pile of rotten leaves, followed the sound of water on the rock wall, moved forward little by little, and opened his mouth towards the top.
The cave was pitch black. He looked for a long time before he felt the cool spring water moistening his throat.
Breathing gradually slowed down.
The tightly closed eyes finally opened, but there was no focus at all.
He moved his lips silently, as if shouting: "Ahhh..."
On the other side of the mountain, Zhu Yunwei walked for a long time and arrived at the small village of mountain keepers.
She didn't dare to go forward to ask for directions, and tried to hide in the mountains and forests to avoid communicating with people.
But I still heard a disgusting sound:
"Little girl, do you understand the rules? You are a child bride! You eat our food, use our things, and are destined to sleep with the men in our family! Little Wood is still a baby, and it's the same for you to sleep with your second uncle!"
A little girl with three braids rushed out in disheveled clothes.
