"The air is so fresh up in the mountains."
Li Li made up an excuse, and when they met again, Ye Zhaozhao still felt that Li Li gave off a rather uncomfortable feeling.
Xu Pandi didn't stay on the mountain for long before coming down. She thought she might as well go home and get some sleep. Li Li, however, didn't leave this time.
While her sisters-in-law were gathering firewood, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Ye Zhaozhao discovered wild ginseng while gathering firewood.
She didn't expect there to be wild ginseng on the mountain. Sun Xiuhua also saw what she was holding and came over to ask her.
"Zhaozhao, what's that in your hand?"
"Sister-in-law Sun, this is wild ginseng. It has the effects of tonifying the spleen and lungs and greatly replenishing vital energy. You can steep it in water and drink it."
Upon hearing Ye Zhaozhao's words, everyone lowered their heads and began searching for wild ginseng, and they actually found quite a few.
"I'm looking for it," Chen Sufen said, seeing the person in front of her.
"Isn't that Li Li? Who's that man opposite her? I've never seen him in the military region before?"
Everyone looked into the distance and saw Li Li and the man talking about something, but they were too far away to hear what they were saying.
Ye Zhaozhao sensed something was wrong. Li Li was talking about their daily life, and they couldn't alert her now, so Ye Zhaozhao pretended nothing had happened.
When Ye Zhaozhao returned in the afternoon and finished eating, she told Gu Yunduan about it. Upon hearing this, Gu Yunduan immediately got up.
"Honey, I'm going to the military region. You guys shouldn't go up the mountain for the next few days."
"good."
In the military region office, Division Commander Zhu looked serious.
"Gu Yunduan, are you implying that Li Li is an enemy agent?"
"Possibly, sir. This matter still needs to be investigated."
"Okay, you take your team to investigate."
In the days that followed, Ye Zhaozhao and the others did not go up the mountain. They thought the investigation would take some time, but they did not expect Gu Yunduan and the others to act so quickly.
That day, Xu Pandi was secretly eating meat at home. She had gone to the village to exchange for some meat, and she didn't want it to end up in the stomachs of those two girls.
So she closed the door and ate by herself. She was enjoying her meal when the people from the Military Commission arrived, which startled her so much that she could barely stand.
"Comrades, what can I do for you?"
"Xu Pandi, do you know Li Li?"
"Yes, I know her. What happened to her?"
"She is an enemy agent. We now suspect that you are colluding with enemy agents. Please come with us."
"What? She's an enemy agent?"
Xu Pandi felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and she could barely stand. The thought of the things she had taken from Li Li filled her with panic.
The news of Xu Pandi being taken away alarmed the family compound. Everyone was quiet, afraid that it might be related to them. Some of the more timid ones were wondering if they had said anything they shouldn't have to Xu Pandi.
The military interrogated her overnight, and the woman named Li Li confessed that she had come here under false pretenses to work in the countryside, and the man she met was an educated youth from the next village.
Her name was Lü Jiafan. The military personnel quickly went to the village and caught him. The two women had come to find something; they were looking for a fortune left over from a previous war.
Ye Zhaozhao, knowing that Li Li kept running up the mountain, asked Gu Yunduan and the others to go up the mountain to look for her. They eventually found her in a cave.
Li Li and Lü Jiafan were escorted onto the car, and everyone knows what their fate will be.
After repeated questioning, the military personnel learned that Xu Pandi had not participated in the search with Li Li, but because she had taken Li Li up the mountain, a major incident almost occurred.
Hu Ziqiang was demoted from battalion commander to company commander, Li Li cleaned public toilets for a year and made a self-criticism in front of everyone, and Xu Pandi was released on this day.
She looked utterly haggard. Hu Ziqiang knew it was because of her demotion, and he knew she would get a beating when she got home. Xu Pandi cried in grievance. If it weren't for this family and this man, she wouldn't have gone to exchange hostages with Li Li and take her things.
Seeing Xu Pandi being beaten, Ya Dan and Ya Ya just watched coldly, their eyes filled with hatred.
The family compound was gloomy for several days because of Xu Pandi's incident.
When Commander Zhu heard from Gu Yunduan that it was Ye Zhaozhao who discovered Li Li's role as an enemy agent, he found it unbelievable. In addition, the corn seedlings were growing better and better, and she was also improving the soldiers' meals.
He immediately decided to hold an awards ceremony. Gu Yunduan wondered if the ceremony was too ostentatious. He knew his wife; she didn't want anything too high-profile.
"It's a low-key commendation meeting within our military region, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at the family compound."
Since Commander Zhu had said so, Gu Yunduan had no choice but to agree. Ye Zhaozhao didn't show any expression when she heard about the commendation meeting, but Gu Yunduan was very excited.
Knowing that an awards ceremony was going to be held, the women in the family compound brought stools to sit down early. Ye Zhaozhao was wearing a green military uniform today, looking very dashing.
Gu Yunduan got this military uniform for her from the military region. At this time, everyone wanted a military uniform, and having one to wear was the most glorious thing.
The commendation ceremony began, and Commander Zhu first gave Ye Zhaozhao a bonus, which included her work in reclaiming wasteland and discovering enemy agents.
Ye Zhaozhao discovered there were one hundred yuan.
Such bonuses could be awarded multiple times. Then the people from the military region asked Ye Zhaozhao how she recognized the enemy agent, and Ye Zhaozhao told the truth.
First, her clothing and appearance; second, her behavior and habits; and third, she understood that Li Li was talking about everyday life. At this moment, Commander Zhu interjected.
"Comrade Ye Zhaozhao, can you still understand what Xiao Rizi is saying?"
"Yes, Commander Zhu, because Xiao Rizi's accent always has a sleazy tone."
Ye Zhaozhao's words made perfect sense, and everyone agreed with her. Looking at Ye Zhaozhao on the stage, the other military wives were extremely envious.
