Yang Niannian pulled Lu Shishen aside and whispered.
"I mentioned to you last time, that man who looked like An An, do you still remember him? When I went to the scrap yard today, I found him injured and hiding in a large iron shed."
A trace of worry flashed across Lu Shishen's eyes. "Is the injury serious? Has he been sent to the hospital?"
Yang Niannian shook her head. "Anyway, the injury was serious and he lost a lot of blood, but his life was not in danger. He didn't want to go to the hospital, so I asked Yu Ting to sew up his wound. He is now resting on Jiang Yang's bed."
"I'll go and take a look."
Lu Shishen took her to the bicycle, held the handlebars, took a step with his long legs, and sat on the seat.
Yang Niannian blinked, "Aren't you driving a military vehicle faster?"
Lu Shishen shook his head, "Too ostentatious."
Yang Niannian was full of doubts. Seeing his serious expression, she guessed that maybe there was something that he was not convenient to talk about, so she sensibly did not ask.
On the way, she told Lu Shishen the details of her encounter with Brother Fei. Lu Shishen had long and strong legs, and he could almost pedal his bicycle at the speed of a racing car.
The road was bumpy and her butt hurt, so she hugged Lu Shishen's tight and narrow waist tightly to prevent herself from being thrown off.
I thought to myself that I should tie a cotton pad to the back seat of the bicycle.
Lu Shishen reached the scrap yard in half the time it usually took her.
As soon as the two entered the yard, Zhang Yuting came running over with an embarrassed look on her face, "Captain Lu, Nian Nian, the man is gone."
Lu Shishen frowned, but he said nothing and walked straight to Jiang Yang's room to check the situation.
Yang Niannian asked curiously, "Did he leave on his own? He was so badly injured, how could he get out of bed?"
Zhang Yuting was still in shock. "I also found it strange. He felt much more energetic after just one bottle of saline solution. I wanted to stop him, but he said... he wanted to go to the toilet."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. "I thought of waiting for him in the house and letting him find a corner outside the yard to solve it. After waiting for a while, he didn't come back. I went out to look for him, but I couldn't find him either."
Zhang Yuting felt a little guilty because she had promised to keep an eye on the man, but he ran away.
Yang Niannian guessed, "Could he have fainted in some corner?"
"Ah?" Zhang Yuting looked anxious. "If that's the case, what if something happens to him?"
Lu Shishen walked out of the house and said, "You guys go in and wait for me. I'll go look around."
"How about I go and look for it separately from you?" Yang Niannian suggested.
"Yes, there is strength in numbers." Zhang Yuting was in a state of panic, worried that someone would be killed because of her negligence.
"Need not."
Lu Shishen shook his head and refused, not giving the two a chance to speak, and strode out of the yard.
Yang Niannian saw that Lu Shishen was walking very fast, as if he was looking for something with a purpose, so she pulled Zhang Yuting into the house.
"He's doing reconnaissance work, which is more useful than us going out to look for him. Let's go in and wait for him first!"
There were some blood stains on Jiang Yang's bed sheet, which looked creepy, so she simply pulled the sheet off, put it in a garbage bag and prepared to throw it away.
Zhang Yuting was stunned. "Niannian, you're just going to throw away such a good bed sheet? You can still use it after washing it."
Her parents taught her to be frugal since she was young. Growing up in a military family compound, the people around her lived a simple life in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities, so she developed the habit of saving.
She has no competitive mentality at school, and even though her family is better off than other students, she never spends money indiscriminately.
Yang Niannian shook her head. "This bed sheet is stained with blood. Maybe he has some infectious disease. It's better to throw it away. Even if he doesn't have any disease, it's really disgusting to sleep on a bed sheet that someone else has bled on."
Zhang Yuting did not refute. She felt that what Yang Niannian said made sense. It was just a pity to waste such good sheets, which looked almost new.
Yang Niannian turned on the TV, and before the two of them finished watching an episode of the TV series, Lu Shishen came back from outside.
"Captain Lu, have you found that man?" Zhang Yuting asked anxiously.
Lu Shishen shook his head and said seriously.
"Don't mention this to anyone, just pretend it never happened."
Zhang Yuting didn't understand why she couldn't tell anyone else. Seeing Lu Shishen's serious expression, she didn't dare to think about it and nodded instinctively, "Oh, okay."
Lu Shishen said politely, but his tone was indifferent, "I'm sorry to bother you with today's matter, please go back to the hospital!"
Zhang Yuting was just like the new recruits under his command. She didn't dare to show any sign of disobedience and nodded quickly, "Okay."
Yang Niannian couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Lu Shishen, "Why are you so serious? Look how scared Yuting is."
Zhang Yuting's hands and feet were frozen, she dared not move, nor say a word, let alone look Lu Shishen in the eye.
“…”
Lu Shishen pursed his lips and said nothing. He did not deliberately try to scare Zhang Yuting. He was always like this.
Zhang Yuting is an adult, and he couldn't possibly speak to her in the same tone as he spoke to An An.
He did not give any explanation, and his tone when speaking to Yang Niannian became a little gentler unconsciously, "I'll take you home first."
Yang Niannian didn't want to go back yet. "It's not even noon yet. I'm going to go for a walk on the street and ask Jiang Yang to take me back later. You can ride your bike back first!"
Lu Shishen reminded him in a gentle voice, "Go to crowded places, don't go to small alleys with few people."
Yang Niannian, "Don't worry, I have a strong sense of safety."
Zhang Yuting didn't relax until Lu Shishen got on his bike and left the yard.
After making sure the person had gone far away, she covered her chest and said fearfully, "Niannian, Captain Lu's serious look is so scary. Aren't you usually afraid of him? If you put his picture on the door, it will definitely be more effective than Zhong Kui. All the demons and ghosts will have to take a detour."
Fortunately, she did not marry Lu Shishen. Being with such a man would be too terrible. After a long time, she would suffer from neurasthenia.
Yang Niannian laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She had some selfish thoughts in mind, so not only did she not praise Lu Shishen, she also nodded seriously and imitated the tone of the older generation.
"It's quite scary, and there's no romance. Isn't that how married couples live? Just don't hit each other."
She kept Lu Shishen’s good points in her heart, and it was enough for her to know them, and she didn’t want to share them with anyone.
Zhang Yuting shuddered when she heard the word 'beat someone'. "I heard that in the entire army, no one can beat Captain Lu in a one-on-one fight. If he hits someone, one punch can make a hole in their head."
Yang Niannian held back her laughter and praised Lu Shishen too much. She was worried that he would be noticed by others, but she couldn't say anything bad either, because Lu Shishen's status was there and he had to set a good example.
It was really hurtful to Lu Shishen, and she felt guilty about it.
I simply changed the subject, "I'm going to the street to buy something, do you have time?"
Zhang Yuting, "Okay, I'll take a leave and go back to work in the afternoon."
Yang Niannian wrote a note and put it on the table, then closed the door and took Zhang Yuting to buy daily necessities. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the mall, they ran into two acquaintances.
