The militia team has been patrolling the brigade almost every day these past few days.
Sometimes, a few friendly-looking people would chat with the members of the brigade.
They really look like they're on patrol.
Zhang Weiguo would go out for a walk every day, and Yang Laidi had no idea what he did each time.
"Where have you been? You're covered in snow again."
Zhao Weiguo chuckled and patted the snow off his clothes: "It's nothing. I was just bored staying at home, so I went out for a stroll."
Yang Laidi nodded: "That's right! Come in quickly! It's warm inside."
He felt increasingly panicked and had no confidence at all.
The Ming troops have shown no signs of leaving in the past few days.
He started to get a little anxious.
I had a feeling that the militia had come prepared this time.
He rubbed his hands together and helped Yang Laidi into the house.
"Laidi, why don't we go to your house and visit? I've never met your parents before!"
"How about I take you to my house so you can have a look around?"
"How are you?"
Yang Laidi exclaimed with delight, "Really!"
But now it's freezing cold, how can we get there?
“Laidi, don’t you want to? I was thinking that since we don’t have to work now and have some free time, we should go and visit our parents.”
“My parents haven’t even met you yet! Besides, you’re carrying my child.”
"I also want my parents to meet you."
Yang Laidi lowered her head and touched her bulging belly, her face full of happiness.
She also really wanted to take Zhao Weiguo to meet her parents, brother, and sisters.
"Wei Guo, why don't we wait until spring to go back?"
Zhao Weiguo's face instantly turned cold.
Seeing his cold expression, Yang Laidi felt a little uneasy.
"Weiguo, don't be upset. I'm doing this for the child's sake."
“Look, it’s been snowing all the time, and the roads are difficult to walk on. I’m pregnant, so I can’t joke around with my baby.”
Zhao Weiguo thought this made sense. He had approached Yang Laidi in the first place precisely to have an heir.
He nodded.
"Alright then! Make sure you keep the money I give you safe, and don't give it to your parents again."
Yang Laidi didn't know why he said that.
Zhao Weiguo simply said, "Just listen to me, your family is a bottomless pit."
"We have to raise our children in the future, and we don't know when we'll be able to go back to the city from here in the countryside."
"Many places need money, so try not to send them any more money."
Yang Laidi nodded, agreeing with Zhao Weiguo.
"Weiguo, don't worry, now that we have a child, I won't be like before."
"Alright, go and rest! I'll cook dinner later."
After settling Yang Laidi in, he went out.
He couldn't stay at home, and Yang Laidi wouldn't allow him to go back, so he had to find another way to get out.
But his child hasn't been born yet, alas.
He wandered aimlessly and unknowingly reached the entrance of the village.
Huo Junshan also wanted to come out and see what was going on today.
The militia members are still patrolling the village.
He came out and saw Zhao Weiguo on the main road. Where was he going?
Why is he making trouble for himself at this juncture?
The militia team looks like they're arresting someone.
A thought flashed through Huo Junshan's mind: Zhao Weiguo?
He quickly returned home and locked the door.
As soon as Zhao Weiguo reached the village entrance, he saw several militiamen guarding the area.
He was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly headed towards the village.
Huo Junshan returned to the courtyard, took a ladder, climbed up, and saw Zhao Weiguo returning from the village entrance.
He now suspects that Zhao Weiguo definitely has a secret!
It's still a huge secret.
He made his way home, covered in snowflakes, some of which had melted.
His hair was a little messy from the wind.
Yang Laidi called out from inside the house, "Weiguo, you're back?"
Zhao Weiguo wiped his face listlessly: "It's me, I'll go cook for you."
Huo Junshan waited until Zhao Weiguo left before coming downstairs.
"Ningning, I think I've discovered a shocking secret."
Yun Ningyan was breastfeeding the baby, and Huo Yunxi fell asleep while nursing.
Yun Ningyan put her on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"What did you say? What's wrong? Tell me."
Yun Ningyan took his hand and helped him sit on the kang (heated brick bed) to warm up.
Huo Junshan laughed and said, "I find Zhao Weiguo to be acting mysteriously. I have a feeling that the people the militia team found are probably him!"
Yun Ningyan asked in confusion, "What do you think he did wrong? Why are they here to arrest him?"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "I don't know. I guess they are still investigating thoroughly and don't know who this person is."
"I only know that this person is in our brigade, that's why I acted this way."
Yun Ningyan nodded.
"Huo Junshan, you are not allowed to go out for the next few days. I'm worried about you. This is something we can't control."
"He might be a spy! A traitor!"
This era was still somewhat unstable, with spies and traitors secretly sending messages and secret reports out.
They use these things to gain personal benefits and betray their country.
This information is crucial national data and cannot be lost.
Huo Junshan!
"Is that possible? This is serious. Should we tell the militia?"
"No, what if it's not? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
If he really is that kind of person, we can't just stand by and watch him escape.
If he has anything truly important in his possession, he absolutely cannot let it be revealed.
