Chapter 80 Feng Chuan is a spy
The mountains and forests are lush and the trees provide ample shade.
The mountain isn't very big; to find the medicinal herbs she wants, she'll have to go deep into the mountains.
Since transmigrating into this body, she has disliked its frailty and has insisted on practicing Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) almost every day, and now she is in excellent health.
Even though I tossed and turned all night last night, I don't feel so bad now.
Jiang Ning walked into the deep mountains in one breath, and by the time she finished digging up a basket of medicinal herbs, it was almost dark.
Jiang Ning wiped her face, found a dead tree in the forest and sat down, preparing to rest for a while before continuing.
Just then, she suddenly heard rustling footsteps not far away.
Jiang Ning looked up at the darkening sky. "Coming up the mountain so late, aren't you afraid of encountering wild animals?"
It was so late, and she didn't plan to stay any longer. Just as she got up to leave, she suddenly froze.
The language the other person is speaking is 'cherry blossom language'!
And there was a man's voice that she recognized.
Feng Chuan.
Jiang Ning didn't see anyone, and she hid behind a big tree. The other person wasn't far away, and she couldn't expose herself.
In the present world, she frequently travels abroad for exchanges. While she may not be fluent in every language in the world, she is fluent in at least eight languages.
The other person continued to speak in the language of cherry blossoms.
Jiang Ning listened attentively.
It took Feng Chuan a lot of effort to become a teacher at the military primary school in the camp, and then it took him two or three years of ups and downs before he could finally establish himself.
The other party seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the information Feng Chuan provided, but it was still some useful information.
After finishing their business, Feng Chuan suddenly called out to the man who was about to leave. He raised his wristwatch and said, "The dial of my watch is worn out. Could you bring me two more next time we meet?"
The other person glanced indifferently at the watch on his wrist, a model that hadn't yet hit the market in Japan. He said, "Aren't you worried that this watch will expose your identity?"
"Heh." Feng Chuan chuckled dismissively. "Students aren't interested in watches, and as for the illiterate ones, they certainly wouldn't recognize this watch of mine."
He wasn't worried about revealing his identity because of a watch. Not only did he never wear this watch on important occasions, but he would only wear it when he went to visit students' homes to save face. And those students' parents were all illiterate, so they couldn't possibly recognize his watch.
The other person was silent for a moment, then reminded him, "Be careful."
"Don't worry." Feng Chuan didn't care at all.
It's not that he's not vigilant; he doesn't usually wear a watch, only on certain occasions.
He was very confident in his looks, and when he wore a rare item like a watch, he attracted the attention of countless girls.
A bright and beautiful face suddenly flashed through my mind; that woman was truly an exception.
But the more this happens, the more it arouses his desire to conquer.
The other party readily agreed to give Feng Chuan what they promised, and Feng Chuan promptly said—
"I will bring the intelligence in four days."
The two didn't stay long; Jiang Ning remained hidden behind the tree, carefully making no sound.
She waited behind the tree for a while before carrying the medicinal herbs she had picked down the mountain.
Jiang Ning hadn't expected Feng Chuan to be a spy. If Shen Mo could capture Feng Chuan, wouldn't that be a great achievement?
Thinking about telling Shen Mo about this, Jiang Ning returned to her own courtyard without stopping.
As the weather grew cooler, it was completely dark by the time she got home.
Shen Mo was sent home.
Seeing one soldier after another running into his office to complain, Commander Li became curious and went to the training ground to see what was going on.
Then they saw Shen Mo running laps on the training ground with a heavy load, moving at lightning speed, completely disregarding the lives of the soldiers running alongside him.
He was quite happy to see everyone training so hard, but when he learned that Shen Mo had already run twenty laps on the training field, his forehead throbbed.
Some people were already exhausted. When Shen Mo passed by that person, he saw that he was about to sit down on the ground, so he kindly helped him up and said, "Keep going, keep running."
A tonic!
They really couldn't run anymore.
Wasn't Deputy Regiment Commander Shen supposed to be off today? What's he doing at the training ground?!
In the end, Commander Li couldn't stand it anymore. To prevent his soldiers from becoming exhausted donkeys, he dragged Shen Mo back to the family compound.
As soon as Shen Mo returned home, he saw Jiang Ning pruning the flowers and plants in the corner of the wall. Some of the Chinese medicinal herbs she had been carefully tending had already bloomed, and they could be used for both medicinal and ornamental purposes.
The moment Shen Mo saw Jiang Ning, he felt like he had wasted all those laps he had run on the training field.
He just wanted to vent his energy, but it didn't seem to work.
Jiang Ning looked up when she heard the noise and saw Shen Mo. "You're back. Go heat up the food, we'll just have to make do with this."
Shen Mo nodded and walked into the kitchen without complaint. He worked quickly and heated up the dishes in no time.
He put all the food on the table, and even served two bowls of rice before calling Jiang Ning.
Seeing that Jiang Ning's hands were covered in dirt, he took her hand and carefully washed it for her.
Jiang Ning felt that he was making her more and more spoiled; even washing her hands was something he did himself.
During the meal, Jiang Ning carefully considered her words before telling Feng Chuan what had happened: "I went up the mountain today and saw Feng Chuan talking to a strange man while I was picking herbs. It was in a language I couldn't understand."
Jiang Ning didn't tell Shen Mo directly that she could understand the language of cherry blossoms. After all, the original owner's character was a village woman. She even temporarily put aside the matter of teaching Zhiqi English and asked Zhiqi not to tell anyone that she could speak English. But she wasn't afraid of being exposed.
After all, she has an older sister who has been admitted to university. Jiang Ting is a reborn woman, and she certainly won't miss out on learning anything that will help her future.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Shen Mo's body tensed up instantly.
There were many things he didn't know about when he went to the disaster area to provide support. Today, when Commander Li 'sent' him home, he told him about some of the things that happened after he went to the disaster area to provide support.
He was familiar with the name Feng Chuan, and he was certain that his wife would not flirt with other men. Although he was not the most outstanding, he never thought he was inferior.
He will have opportunities for promotion in the future, which will allow him to provide a better life for his wife.
He doesn't even respect a teacher from a primary school in a government office, let alone someone as discerning as Jiang Ning.
After all, he had worked hard for a long time before his wife finally fell in love with him.
Jiang Ning said, "I don't understand, but there's one sentence that's easy to learn. I'll teach it to you."
After saying that, she picked up the easiest cherry blossom phrase to pronounce and said, "Arigato."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning recite this sentence, Shen Mo's expression suddenly turned stern and cold. He nervously grabbed Jiang Ning's hand and looked at her with alarm.
Jiang Ning, with an innocent expression, asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is this some kind of dialect?"
Seeing that she was alright, Shen Mo was certain that she hadn't been discovered. Otherwise, given the ruthlessness of spies, it was impossible for his wife to still be in front of him unharmed.
“This isn’t a dialect, it’s the language of cherry blossoms,” Shen Mo explained.
"Huh?" Jiang Ning was startled. "Then Mr. Feng Chuan from the government-run primary school wouldn't be...?"
Jiang Ning mouthed the word 'spy'.
Seeing her adorable reaction, Shen Mo relaxed his tense body and stopped being in a hurry.
To have managed to get to the position of a primary school teacher in a government agency, the person must have been lying low for quite some time. What he needs to do now is to tell Li Tuan about this, and then set a trap to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Shen Mo knew that Jiang Ning had been in contact with Feng Chuan, so he thought for a moment and asked his wife.
"Is there anything about Feng Chuan that you find strange, or is there anything about him that catches your eye?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Nothing strange about it, but..."
She paused for a moment.
“He had a very different watch on him, unlike the ones we wear. I hadn’t seen it in the mall before when we went there together.”
"A watch?" Shen Mo nodded. "I understand."
