"This big mushroom looks the best to me. If you can hunt a pheasant, you can stew it together and eat it. I'll give it to you." Before leaving, Li Xin smiled and gave the big mushroom to the man.
His smile was very innocent, just like that of a college student with clear and silly eyes.
The man took it as if possessed by a ghost, and said, "Thank you..."
"You're welcome."
On the way down the mountain, Liu Xiang looked at her and finally asked with all his doubts: "Xinxin, you just..."
"Sister Xiang, it's getting late, let's go back quickly." Li Xin winked at Liu Xiang and pulled her down the mountain quickly.
She was not sure whether the man would follow them, and there was no point in telling Liu Xiang, as she had no idea about the "land mine".
"Oh oh..." Liu Xiang could only respond hesitantly twice, and hurriedly followed Li Xin down the mountain.
The two of them lingered on the mountain for too long, and when they came down to the family compound, it was already dark.
When he arrived at the family compound, Li Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something to Liu Xiang, he saw He Beichen returning home.
"Sister Xiang, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm going back first!" Li Xin said hurriedly and quickly ran towards He Beichen.
“…”
Liu Xiang naturally noticed it as well. It turned out that she was anxious to go home because of her man. Seeing how clingy she was to He Beichen, they were indeed a newlywed couple.
So Liu Xiang walked slowly towards his home while smiling like an aunt.
…
Li Xin ran over, grabbed He Beichen and ran towards home.
He Beichen: “?”
I was a little confused when she pulled me, but I still subconsciously followed her back home.
As He Beichen ran, he noticed that the cloth bag Li Xin was carrying was bulging with mushrooms.
Li Xin opened the door, pulled He Beichen in, and then closed the door with a serious face.
"What's wrong?" He Beichen looked at her like this and became even more confused.
It seems that Li Xin went to pick mushrooms today. I don’t know why he came back with such an expression.
Could it be that he accidentally ate some mushrooms and got poisoned?
"He Beichen, let me tell you..." Li Xin looked at him solemnly, his expression more serious than ever before, "There might be spies sent by the enemy on the mountain."
After observation, Li Xin was able to preliminarily determine the man's identity.
Enemy spy?!
As soon as this word was spoken, He Beichen's expression changed instantly, and his whole demeanor became fierce, as if he had instantly turned into the deputy commander of the army, instead of the He Beichen at home.
"Are you sure? This kind of thing is not something to be joked about!" He Beichen's expression was even more serious than hers.
He did not directly deny or doubt Li Xin. Judging from his reaction, he actually believed in Li Xin, but this matter was too serious to be taken lightly.
"I'm sure!" Li Xin nodded. "When Sister Xiang and I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms today, we found a man burying something. I've confirmed that it's most likely a landmine."
"How do you know it's a landmine?" He Beichen asked in confusion.
Landmines are not something you can see easily. A girl like Li Xin who comes from a remote village has probably never even heard of them, let alone seen them.
Besides, it has already been buried, Li Xin can’t let anyone dig it out.
How is that determined?
"It's true. I've checked it out. The things underground are very dangerous." Li Xin said, bending down and taking off the metal detector wrapped around his ankle and showing it to He Beichen.
This detector is not big, only the size of a palm, otherwise Li Xin would not be able to hide it on his leg without being discovered.
"..." He Beichen took the thing with doubt. It was a small box the size of a palm. He held it in his hand and studied it carefully.
Although the thing is a little smaller, its operation is similar to the big one. He Beichen has also come into contact with it. After fiddling with it for a while, he was able to confirm that this is indeed a detector.
Where did Li Xin get this detector?
How did she have a detector, and how could she use it to determine that there was a mine buried underground?
If an ordinary person got a detector, he probably wouldn’t know how to use it, right?
"I've already tried to get his information. He might be a villager living nearby. He might be lying, but he's very familiar with the surrounding area. If he hadn't investigated beforehand, he probably wasn't lying. He does live nearby. He might have accomplices. I haven't seen them, but he did say he was waiting for them."
"His mines probably weren't ready yet. We've delayed them, which will delay their original plan. Before we left, none of his accomplices showed up, and we didn't see anyone going up the mountain. Even if they were going to take action, they would have chosen to do it at night."
Li Xin was unaware of He Beichen's suspicion of her at the moment. She only wanted to tell He Beichen the information she had obtained and some of her own speculations.
This matter is of great importance, and it happened near the troops. Although she cannot figure out what the man’s purpose is now, it will definitely have a significant impact on the troops stationed here!
Liu Xiang also said that soldiers in the army sometimes go to the mountains for field training. If they accidentally step on landmines, the casualties will definitely be heavy.
"Oh yes, the man also has a pistol on him, hidden at his waist. Judging from the way he used to hold the gun, he must have been trained." Li Xin thought for a moment and added.
At the same time, Li Xin also told He Beichen the specific location where the mines were buried, and estimated the approximate range of the mines based on the man's movements.
