Chapter 23 She Remembered His Kindness
"Grandma, don't go. Forget it. I've already taught them a lesson. They shouldn't dare to do anything to me in the future."
Su Luo stopped her grandmother in time, not wanting them to worry about her anymore.
"Well, if they dare to cause you trouble again, tell grandma and she'll back you up. And your uncle will help you, too."
Yao Guixiang patted the back of Su Luo's hand to comfort her. They would do their best to protect Su Luo's safety and prevent her from being ostracized and bullied by outsiders.
"I know, Grandma."
Su Luo leaned on her grandmother's shoulder, feeling particularly at ease.
"By the way, is your stomach okay? Is it uncomfortable after eating so much lobster and chili?"
"It's not hard, Grandma."
Su Luo ate a large bowl of spicy lobster. Yao Guixiang was a little worried that she might get too spicy, but fortunately, Su Luo was fine.
On the first night in Jiangjiaba, Su Luo slept with her grandmother, but on the second night, Yao Guixiang helped Su Luo change into clean new sheets and pillowcases and let her sleep alone.
Grandma was very considerate. She helped Su Luo drive away the mosquitoes in the house with mugwort early in the morning and lowered the mosquito net. Su Luo fell into a sound sleep.

While Su Luo was dreaming, the southwestern Anshui area was in a tense atmosphere.
The special forces troops who rushed over were already hiding in the nearby dense forest with live ammunition. A few hundred meters away in the valley was the lair of a smuggling gang.
The enemy also has firepower. The nest is surrounded by defenses and searchlights scan the area every two minutes.
Qin Zhan and his special forces team members crawled motionlessly, waiting for the best opportunity, which was the short half-hour shift change at night, when the enemy's defense was the weakest.
They must make good use of this half hour to have a chance of winning.
Qin Zhan and Jiang Yunhe had prepared a battle plan in advance, so both sides could make a feint to the east and attack in the west to catch the enemy off guard.
They lay in wait until midnight, when it was time to change guards. Jiang Yunhe led a small team to launch an attack to divert the front guards.
Gunshots rang out and flames splashed in the night.
The smuggling gang felt they were being attacked and urgently dispatched troops to fight back.
Qin Zhan led another small team to the rear and broke into the old nest.
That night, the dark night sky of Anshui was lit up, and the thick clouds seemed to be stained with a hint of blood.
The fighting lasted for several hours until it gradually subsided at dawn.
The special forces led by Qin Zhan won the final victory and they seized a large number of weapons and drugs on the spot.
Qin Zhan also personally captured the leader of the gang, which was equivalent to avenging his father.
Jiang Yunhe's team reunited with Qin Zhan. Seeing Qin Zhan covering his right arm with blood, Jiang Yunhe asked worriedly, "Qin Zhan, how are you?"
"fine……"
Qin Zhan was injured during the fight with the enemy leader. He was shot in the right arm, and there were more than one wound. He was also cut on the chest.
At this moment, due to the severity of his injuries, he could not stand and fell down.
"Qin Zhan..."
Jiang Yunhe supported him in time, carried him on his back, and rushed him back to the camp to see a military doctor for treatment.
In this late-night sneak attack, although Captain Qin Zhan was seriously injured and many other team members also suffered injuries of varying degrees, overall, they won a great victory and wiped out the enemy's lair in one fell swoop.
This will also become a glorious achievement in the military career of Qin Zhan and Jiang Yunhe.
After completing this mission, Jiang Yunhe will be able to have a short vacation and return home to visit his relatives!

Jiangjiaba, shrouded in morning mist, seems like a paradise.
Days without alarm clocks and the need to get up early are so leisurely that people can forget many worldly troubles.
The crowing of roosters at four or five o'clock failed to wake Su Luo, and Su Luo slept until she woke up naturally.
The breakfast prepared by grandma was left on the table, boiled eggs, sweet sweet potatoes, millet porridge, delicious side dishes, and a cup of malted milk.
After Su Luo finished the breakfast that her grandmother had carefully prepared, she sat under the jujube tree in the yard, stretched herself, and was in a daze.
Grandma and grandpa went to weed in the cornfield early in the morning. Jiang Xiaoliu ran out to play, and Su Luo was the only one at home.
Su Luo had nothing to do, so she got up and went to check on the livestock at her grandmother's house.
The chicken coops were stacked neatly on the east side, with six or seven chickens walking around inside. When they saw Su Luo, they surrounded her and clucked.
Near the chicken coop is the pigpen, and inside is a black and white piglet that looks to weigh about 100 pounds.
When the piglet saw Su Luo coming, he turned up his nose and snorted at her.
It’s strange to say, although I can’t understand animal language, I can understand what these chickens and pigs mean.
They all seemed to be asking Su Luo for food!
"Okay, okay, go get some food for you foodies."
Su Luo thought it would be better to go cut some grass to feed the pigs and chickens. There were a lot of water ant plants growing near the pond where she fished for lobsters yesterday.
Xiaoliu said that pigs love to eat water ant grass, and his grandmother often cuts water ant grass to feed the pigs.
So Su Luo picked up a backpack, found a sickle from the wall and went out.
When they arrived near the pond, there were many water ant vegetables growing by the water. Su Luo put down her backpack, squatted on the shore, and could grab the heads of the water ant vegetables with her hands and cut them off easily.
When Su Luo was busy cutting grass, Da Kunzi rode by on a bicycle and recognized Su Luo at once.
"Hey, Xiaoliu's sister, what are you doing?"
Da Kunzi took the initiative to say hello.
Su Luo heard the voice, turned around and saw Da Kunzi, and stood up, "I'm mowing the grass, you can call me Su Luo."
"Oh, Su Luo, my name is Xiao Likun, they all call me Da Kunzi."
Da Kunzi also introduced himself again. He was a 17-year-old boy with a tanned skin from herding cattle, and his smile showed a row of big white teeth.
"By the way, thank you for testifying for me yesterday."
Su Luo did not forget what happened yesterday. Da Kunzi had helped her, and she remembered it in her heart!
Da Kunzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head shyly, "Hey, I didn't help much, I just told you what I saw."
"Thank you for that too."
After Su Luo thanked him again, she continued to cut grass. Da Kunzi jumped off the cow's back and let the cow graze on the bank of the pond next to her. He watched Su Luo cutting grass nearby.
"Do you want me to help you?"
"No, thank you."
Su Luo said she didn't need help, but she cut the grass near the shore, and she couldn't reach the grass that grew slightly inside.
She didn't want to go into the water either, for fear of getting her clothes and shoes wet.
When Da Kunzi saw that she couldn't reach it, he jumped into the grass without saying a word, snatched the sickle from her hand, and quickly helped her cut a lot of grass.
"Is this enough?"
Da Kunzi returned the sickle to her, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled brightly.
"That's enough, there's no room for more."
Su Luo put all the water ant vegetables into the backpack, and the basket was soon full.
She was about to pick up the basket and go back, but Da Kunzi suddenly suggested, "Su Luo, do you want to eat some mulberry fruit?"
"Mulberry fruit? Mulberry fruit? You mean mulberries?"
"Yes, that's it!" Da Kunzi's eyes flashed brightly.
The image of dark purple-red mulberry fruit emerged in Su Luo's mind. This seasonal fruit usually only appears in supermarkets in big cities during certain seasons, and it is not cheap.
Now, hearing Da Kunzi ask her if she wanted to eat, Su Luo swallowed her saliva and said, "Well, I want to, but where can I get this?"
"Come with me, I'll take you to the mulberry fields to pick some. There are plenty of them there, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat." Da Kunzi waved his hand.
Perhaps out of trust in Da Kunzi's character, Su Luo was willing to go with him.
In a sense, Da Kunzi was the first friend Su Luo met when she came to Jiangjiaba.
Da Kunzi tied the cow under a nearby tree, Su Luo put the backpack nearby, and the two of them crossed the ridge and went to find the mulberry field together.
The mulberry field is not far away, just across two fields. The mulberry trees here are all cultivated, the treetops are about one meter tall, and the branches are full of green and red fruits.
Slightly ripe fruits are purple-red in color and look as plump and shiny as garnet.
"Wow, so many mulberries, can we pick them all?"
"sure."
Every time Da Kunzi passed by here while herding cattle, he would pick some to eat.
When Su Luo heard that she could pick mulberries, she didn't hesitate and walked into the mulberry field and started picking mulberries to eat.
The plants and fruit trees of this era are all very natural and are not sprayed with pesticides. If the fruits hanging on the trees are ripe, they can be picked and eaten directly.
Su Luo ate pure natural ripe mulberries, which were juicy and sweet, a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. They were much better than the mulberries bought in supermarkets in big cities.
After eating for a while, both of her hands were stained purple-red, and her tongue and lips were also stained purple.
She enjoyed the food so much that she wanted to bring some back for Xiaoliu, so she used some large mulberry leaves to string together a small bowl and put the mulberries in it.
Su Luo was happily picking mulberries when she suddenly heard a scolding voice behind her, "What are you doing? Who told you to steal the mulberries from my tree?"
