Chapter 64
"Report, Meng Mingxia reporting in!"
"Come in."
Song Zhen's mellow voice came from the office. Meng Mingxia pushed open the door and walked in, and found that in addition to Song Zhen, there was also Political Commissar Zuo Shan.
Meng Mingxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted, "Hello, Political Commissar!"
Zuo Shan looked at Meng Mingxia with a smile. He had a tall and straight figure, a resolute face, and exuded military power. He couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Meng Mingxia had been assigned to the Y Province Military Region for less than a year, but his reputation had already spread throughout the region. His exceptional abilities, good looks, and impeccable character made him a highly sought-after son-in-law. Even Zuo Shan himself, before leaving the country, was asked by his wife to inquire with Meng Mingxia about any girls he might be interested in, hoping to find a matchmaker.
"Mingxia, come, come and sit down." Zuo Shan pointed to the sofa across from him. After Meng Mingxia sat down, he continued, "It's not a big deal that I asked you to come here today. I just want to understand the situation."
Song Zhen sat behind his desk and didn't say anything to avoid suspicion.
Meng Mingxia sat down, his back straight, his hands resting naturally on his knees. "Just ask."
He is a soldier and understands the organization's rules, regulations and procedures, so he will naturally tell you everything he knows.
Zuo Shan smiled and nodded when he heard this. "That's right, Meng Wanqiu is your sister, right?"
When Meng Mingxia heard her younger sister's name, her heart suddenly trembled, but she didn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "Yes. Political Commissar, is there something wrong with my sister?"
Zuo Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You just need to get back to my question. You'll know later. Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Zuo Shan's avoidance of the question made Meng Mingxia feel anxious. He glanced at Song Zhen, who looked back at him calmly, without any expression.
"Since Meng Wanqiu is your sister, you should know everything about her, right? Please tell me everything you know. What kind of person is she? What kind of person is she..."
Sure enough, Xiaowan was in trouble. Meng Mingxia concentrated, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly before telling her about Meng Wanqiu.
After listening to Meng Mingxia, Zuo Shan nodded and asked, "Do you know that your sister knows pharmacology?"
Meng Mingxia nodded. "I know. My sister often goes to the mountains to collect herbs, and then makes some strange medicines. Some are specially used to apply on the faces of my parents and sister-in-law, and there are also some pills. Usually, if anyone in the family has a headache or fever, they take these pills and they will recover quickly."
"As far as I know, no one in your family knows pharmacology, so where did your sister learn it?" Zuo Shan leaned back and crossed his legs.
Meng Mingxia didn't even think about it and blurted out, "I learned it from the old Taoist priest."
All members of the Meng family have a consensus that whenever Meng Wanqiu learns any new skills, he must have learned them from the powerful old Taoist priest.
Zuo Shan narrowed his eyes and raised his voice a little, "Old Taoist Priest?"
"Old Taoist priest, Comrade Meng Wanqiu, I am a materialist and do not believe in those gods and ghosts. Please correct your attitude and tell the truth."
In the closed room, there was only one vent that was turning slowly. Meng Wanqiu was sitting behind a square table, and Leng Han was standing opposite her. At this time, the other party was questioning Meng Wanqiu with a cold face.
Meng Wanqiu raised her eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Materialist?"
Wait, let her think about it, where has she heard this word before.
Hmm, now I remember, Pei Xingzhi seemed to have mentioned this to Meng Fengdong once or twice in her high school politics textbook.
A materialist refers to a person who is guided by the theory of materialism.
Simply put, they are people who only believe in science and not in gods, ghosts or religions.
Meng Wanqiu snorted in her heart, if you don't believe me, go check it out yourself.
However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Meng Wanqiu was still not so arrogant. He sat up a little straighter and said sincerely: "Comrade Leng, I am telling the truth. You should have investigated me privately. What I said is reasonable and well-founded. You don't have to worry that I am a bad person."
"Besides, when I say Taoist priests, I don't mean feudal superstition. Taoist priests know a lot more than just fortune-telling."
In the end, Meng Wanqiu couldn't help but sarcastically said to him, "You yourself are ignorant, but you don't allow others to have knowledge. Don't use your own little experience to deny others."
Leng Han crossed his arms across his chest. He could feel Meng Wanqiu's dislike for him, but he had to answer his question.
However, the old Taoist priest she was talking about seemed a bit outrageous to him.
He did send someone to investigate her background, but the person he sent has not yet received a reply.
However, he still didn't believe her one-sided statement unless he really found the Taoist priest.
"Since you said you learned it from a Taoist priest, then show me what else you can do?"
Leng Han lowered his arms. Meng Wanqiu was a pregnant woman, and they didn't have enough evidence to prove that there was something wrong with her.
Therefore, apart from interrogation, it seems that no other method can be used.
After all, her husband, Pei Xingzhi, was a hero of the July 15th Incident, her father was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield and had made meritorious contributions, and her brother was also an active-duty soldier who had made meritorious contributions. As a military family member, Meng Wanqiu could not be violent towards her.
Hearing Leng Han's words, Meng Wanqiu was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth rose up, and a malicious smile appeared in her eyes.
"Are you sure?"
She was wondering how to explain it. No matter what she said, she didn't believe it. She had to tell them the whereabouts of the old Taoist priest and where to find him.
That's good. Since he doesn't believe it, she will show it to him and let him broaden his horizons.
Leng Han nodded slightly, "Of course."
Meng Wanqiu looked Leng Han up and down, and snorted in her heart, "He's like a bull." Her Pei Xingzhi was still the better-looking one, looking thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.
Leng Han's breathing stopped for a moment when he saw Meng Wanqiu's gaze, and he let her look at him with a calm expression.
Meng Wanqiu moved the chair away and stood up. He stretched his neck and rubbed his wrists. "Well, do you want to come?"
It would be best if this guy surnamed Leng came into action himself. Meng Wanqiu had long been annoyed by his deadpan face, and wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
As soon as Meng Wanqiu stood up, Leng Han saw her bulging belly and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
"Or, let's just forget it."
"No, let's finish it and go home early. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Meng Wanqiu placed her hands on her chest, made a big cross sign, raised her voice, and strongly protested.
Leng Han paused slightly, his eyes meeting Meng Wanqiu's, and he opened the door and said to the person outside, "Call Su Xuan over."
"Captain Leng, are you looking for me?" After a moment, a tall and thin man walked in. Compared with the other people Meng Wanqiu saw, this man looked particularly thin.
Meng Wanqiu observed his expression and roughly guessed that the other party might have some health problems. She immediately understood Leng Han's purpose in asking this person to come in.
I'm afraid she felt that asking other people to come in and dealing with her, a pregnant woman, was unfair to her.
Meng Wanqiu frowned, not quite understanding Captain Leng's true thoughts. If he really wanted to find out her background, he should send out his strongest talents.
"Fight her." Facing Su Xuan's question, Leng Han didn't even blink, and dropped a bomb on the ground, which hit Su Xuan hard.
"W-what?"
Su Xuan couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened, and he checked again, "Captain Leng, what did you say?"
"I say, you fight with her and subdue her." Leng Han's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something as trivial as today's weather.
OK.
Su Xuan stared at Leng Han in disbelief, raised his trembling finger and pointed it at Meng Wanqiu, his mouth slightly open, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Although he is injured now, he shouldn't be reduced to this state, fighting with a woman, especially a pregnant one.
Losing is shameful, and winning is unfair. Captain Leng, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!
If this gets out, he will lose both face and dignity.
Leng Han frowned, pursed his lips into a straight line, and said with displeasure in his tone: "Why, is your injury to your brain so that you can't understand what people are saying?"
Leng Han had always been a very powerful figure. Su Xuan subconsciously stood up straight, his mouth moving faster than his brain as he shouted, "Captain, I promise to complete the mission."
Meng Wanqiu: ...
Leng Han: ...
I feel a little embarrassed for some reason.
Meng Wanqiu coughed lightly and said, "Hello, please use all your strength and don't show mercy just because I'm pregnant."
Otherwise, you will get hurt.
Meng Wanqiu omitted the latter part of the sentence, hoping that the other party, as a soldier, would not underestimate the enemy.
But Su Xuan obviously didn't notice Meng Wanqiu's reminder. His mind was full of the word "pregnant woman" and he forced a twisted bitter smile on his face.
Oh, forget it, I’m destined to be embarrassed this time.
"Come on!" said Meng Wanqiu.
Although Su Xuan was embarrassed, he still took a confrontational stance. Leng Han only took a few steps back, worried that something unexpected would happen and he would be able to stop it in time.
"start!"
As soon as Leng Han finished speaking, he heard two clicking sounds in his ears, and then Su Xuan in front of him disappeared instantly, and slammed into the door with a loud noise.
Leng Han widened his eyes, and by the time he reacted, Su Xuan had already fallen to the ground, groaning in pain.
"What happened, Captain Leng?" There was an anxious knock on the door outside.
In the Y Province Military Region, Meng Mingxia and Zuo Shan stared at each other, but neither could convince the other.
"Mingxia, you are a person who has received scientific education, how can you believe in these feudal superstitions?" Zuo Shan rolled up his sleeves, his clothes were a little messy. He was an instructor, and political education was what he was best at, but he didn't expect to fail miserably with Meng Mingxia.
Meng Mingxia opened her eyes wide with innocence. "Political Commissar, I'm not kidding. This is completely different from feudal superstition. This is something our ancestors have passed down for thousands of years..."
Song Zhen also left his desk, stood up, and poured a glass of water for the old man and the child. He said with a smile, "Okay, that's not the point. Lao Zuo, you too, just ask what you want to ask."
Zuo Shan frowned and was about to speak when his dry mouth choked. He quickly picked up his water cup and took a sip. "How can this not be the main point? While investigating Comrade Meng Wanqiu's background is important, the mental state of our soldiers is equally important."
Meng Mingxia sighed, wondering what had happened to Xiaowan.
"Report!"
Song Zhen: "Come in."
The soldier standing guard at the door came in and said, "Report to the division commander, an old Taoist priest came from outside our military area and said he wants to see you."
"Old Taoist priest!"
Three different voices sounded.
