I picked up Nangong Xi, who looked like a kitten, and carried her to the cabin. She said, still sleepy-eyed:
"Are you finished talking? I'm leaving now."
"Don't go anywhere! Sleep here," I said, putting her on the bed.
"But I can't do that."
"I'm content just holding you in my arms."
"I didn't bring any pajamas."
"I have!"
Nangong Xi wore my pajamas and spent the night with me in the small room inside the office.
The next day, she insisted on taking my pajamas with her, saying that men shouldn't wear pants that women have worn.
I had no choice but to let her be.
When I went back to the small building for dinner, I received a message from the army's propaganda department that they had already posted a notice online on my behalf, explaining the details of the matter.
Furthermore, a police report has been filed and the blogger has been apprehended; they are now awaiting police interrogation.
It's really tough on them to still be investigating during the Lunar New Year.
I thanked them and had Yuan Bao buy a truckload of sheep and send them to the Langjun base, which I considered as New Year's gifts for the troops.
I don't have time, but I have to see the underwater statues today, otherwise I won't feel at ease.
I greeted Aunt Jun and the others, then drove off in my car and flew directly to the target waters.
When I arrived at the location where I had tested diving last time, I opened the car and went into the water.
The cold winter water temperature had no effect on me; I continued to dive to the bottom.
This time I brought a high-powered underwater searchlight. When I shone it underwater, I found that there was more than one statue here.
Further down in the low-lying seabed, there were more than a dozen lying haphazardly.
I approached a complete statue, and sure enough, the symbols on his sword were the same as those on the crystal statue.
Among these statues, there was a very thick iron chain. I pulled on the chain and followed it forward.
I soon found a four-legged cauldron that was as tall as a person.
Right below the cauldron, there was a round lid, but I don't know what was underneath that.
Could they be imprisoning a ghostly being?
I tried it, and even with all my strength, especially since I was in the water, the cauldron didn't budge an inch.
Actually, my heart was pounding when I was lifting the cauldron. I was really afraid that if I moved the cauldron, something would come up from underneath.
Now that it can't be moved at all, I'm actually relieved.
Just as I was about to return, the cauldron suddenly made a "thump".
The sound startled me. I turned around to look again, but there was nothing unusual there.
Feeling uneasy, I went back to the large cauldron.
I need to make sure the cauldron is alright.
Um?
When I looked at it just now, there were no words on the tripod. But this time, the stone inscription appeared on it: Hero's Tomb?
What does this mean? Is there a tomb underneath? Do people put a tripod on top of a tomb?
Unless it's a demon or monster, I'm afraid it might come back to life.
If it were demons or monsters, they wouldn't write "Hero's Tomb," would they?
The land of gentle pleasures is truly a hero's grave!
Moreover, right behind the three characters "Hero's Tomb", there are three special small holes.
One pair looks like footprints, and the other is a diamond shape.
I suddenly thought of crystal statues.
Aren't those footprint-like holes the feet of the crystal statue?
A diamond-shaped hole must indicate a sword.
However, this angle doesn't seem to match.
Should we bring the crystal statue over for a look?
I'm honestly a little unsure. If they actually release something, do I have the ability to suppress it?
We should still ask Peng Jun.
When I got back, I went straight to find Peng Jun, but he wasn't at his house.
He also left me a letter saying that he was going out for a few days and would come back after the New Year.
Then my dad called me and asked me to come over.
I went to see my dad again; we can only discuss this matter when Peng Jun returns.
My dad spends most of his time in the lab, but he's still very neat and tidy.
Moreover, I noticed that an aunt was walking around him, taking good care of him.
"Dad! Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and I was just thinking of taking you out to buy some clothes."
My dad smiled and said, "Put the clothes aside for now. I want to talk to you about something."
This is your Aunt Liu Xinying. I want to be with you, Aunt Liu. Would you agree?
"Agreed!" I answered without hesitation.
She's called an auntie, but she's actually only in her early thirties.
She has the air of a well-bred lady.
No matter what, someone is taking care of my dad, and my dad is willing to do so, which is better than anything else.
Liu Xinying was overjoyed: "Thank you, President Zheng! Actually, being with Dr. He is an honor for me."
“Aunt Liu! Don’t talk about whether you’re marrying up or not. As long as you have a good relationship with my dad, that’s more important than anything else.”
Liu Xinying was even more delighted: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"
"Don't call me General Manager Zheng, just call me Zheng Yang. Aunt Liu, do you have any plans for the New Year?"
My dad smiled and said, "Your Aunt Liu has a daughter back in our hometown. I'm thinking of bringing her here during the New Year. What do you think..."
"No problem! Okay then, let's set off now, pick them up, and spend the New Year here."
"No! I want to take you to your Aunt Liu's house for the New Year."
"Huh?" If I leave, what will happen to Aunt Jun, Xiao Qingwan, Selena, and Xu Yiting?
"Jingsong! Why don't we listen to Zheng Yang and bring them here for the New Year? This place is big, and it'll be lively with lots of people."
"But if that's the case, I won't be able to discuss our marriage with your parents."
For my dad's happiness, let's go together.
"Dad! Can I bring my Aunt Jun and the others along?"
Before my dad could speak, Liu Xinying said:
“Okay? Although Dayaoshan is a small town in Langyu City, a county-level city, the village is a lot of fun in winter.”
