When Professor Yuan heard that Qian Duoduo had been found, he immediately went to the military compound and met her. Seeing that she was unharmed and able to eat and drink normally, he was relieved.
Qian Duoduo chatted with the professor for a while when Qian Feng walked in. He greeted Professor Yuan and said, "Professor, I need to talk to Duoduo about something. What do you think?"
Professor Yuan nodded and said, "It was just out of concern. This child ran away on his own, which worried so many people. Now that he's back safely, it's good that he's back."
After Professor Yuan left, Qian Feng sat in the seat Professor Yuan had been in and asked, "Duo Duo, how did you get into that dense forest?"
Qian Duoduo said, "You just walk in?"
Qian Feng's gaze was sharp: "You should know how mysterious that dense forest is. We have thought about going in, but every time we only go in a few meters before we start going in circles. The fact that you were able to enter the heart of the forest makes it hard not to be suspicious. Moreover, we followed your rope in, which makes us very curious as well."
Qian Duoduo looked at his elder brother and asked, "When did your soldiers all enter?"
Qian Feng said, "What does that have to do with anything?"
Qian Duoduo said, "I entered the mountain at dawn, before it was even light. When did you look for me?"
Qian Feng paused, then said, "It was around 4 a.m. this morning, before the sun had risen."
Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Brother, this might be a combination of favorable timing, location, and people."
Qian Feng looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "But this favorable combination of timing, location, and people has disappeared."
Qian Duoduo was stunned: "What? What do you mean? Disappeared? What does that mean?"
Qian Feng looked at Qian Duoduo's genuine stunned expression and deep confusion, and realized that this had nothing to do with her; she didn't know either. If she had such abilities, his sister would be a god.
Qian Feng shook his head and said, "We can go up the mountain anytime now, and we also found a small lake on the top of the mountain. This small lake is a rare freshwater lake, which makes us very happy."
Qian Duoduo immediately asked, "Brother, where is this lake? I can't find it."
Looking at Qian Duoduo's excited expression, Qian Feng asked in confusion, "You didn't see us not far from where we found you?"
Qian Duoduo chuckled, then dodged the question by saying, "I only got to that position at the very end, and I didn't go any higher."
Qian Feng nodded and said, "You should get some rest too!"
When Qian Feng returned to the regimental headquarters, he saw Political Commissar Nan standing at the door. After the two went inside, Political Commissar Nan asked, "Duoduo, what do you have to say?"
Qian Feng shook his head and said, "She said she went in when it was still dark, and when I led people into the dense forest to find her, it was before the sun came up. Duoduo thought this was due to the right time, place, and people. But when I told her that we could enter that dense forest anytime now, she was very surprised. This didn't seem fake, and how could a little girl like her have such great power?"
Putting everything else aside, if she really had that much power, I'd really like to see her wipe out those rascals from the South, who keep bothering us every single day.
Upon hearing Qian Feng's words, Political Commissar Nan laughed: "This matter is somewhat superstitious and supernatural."
Qian Feng naturally hoped to minimize the impact of this matter, and since it was something that was difficult for everyone to explain, he simply suggested that people not discuss it.
Gradually, the once quiet forest became lively because of the lake.
However, one afternoon a week later, Qian Duoduo was walking on the beach, feeling the dampness in the air, when she saw a row of black dots in the distance. She immediately ran towards the pier, and when she arrived, she saw Yu Hongze and his friends standing on the pier.
Half an hour later, Yu Da and the others' fishing boat stopped at the dock. Everyone looked unwell. Fish Egg's mother stepped forward to help carry their things and asked, "Father of the child, what's wrong?"
Yu Da said with trembling lips, "We saw a waterspout while we were fishing."
Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this, and their hands moved much faster.
Qian Duoduo knew what a waterspout meant. These sea tornadoes were extremely dangerous, and there were even legends of people being swept away by them and traveling through time.
After Yu Da and the others finished packing up, they saw Qian Duoduo standing at the back. Yu Da walked up to him and said, "Comrade Qian, why are you still here? After the waterspout, there will be a heavy rain. Hurry up and go home." After saying that, he carried his catch back and said, "It's a pity about the fish this time."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo caught up with Yu Da and said, "Have Yu Hongze deliver the things to me. Just pay the normal price."
Yu Da's eyes lit up, but he shook his head and said, "There's too much stuff, and it's not easy to store it."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a way. I'll go back and wait for you."
Yu Da could only sigh as he watched Qian Duoduo leave. He tidied up everyone's belongings and then personally led a few people to a big tree near the military headquarters. When Qian Duoduo came out, she was carrying a small bag.
Yu Da said, "Comrade Qian, the stuff we caught this time is quite mixed, including fish, shrimp, crabs, and a grouper, which is more expensive. We've calculated it, so just give us two hundred yuan for all of this."
Qian Duoduo asked, "Isn't it a little short?"
Yu laughed and said, "No, we also plan to use this money for the children's schooling. Since we paid a lot this time, each family can get a share."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Okay, you can come to me if you have any good stuff in the future."
Yu Da and the others immediately nodded. This would be equivalent to having a regular customer, which was much better than selling on their own.
Qian Duoduo counted out twenty ten-yuan bills from his pocket, handed them over, and said, "Just leave these things here. You should also hurry back and make sure your home is secure. Just like Yu Da said, if there really is a rainstorm, there will definitely be strong winds. Make sure everything at home is safe and sound. I'll have the soldiers at the gate help with these things."
Yu and the others nodded, took the money, and left immediately.
Qian Duoduo noticed that there were several large trees providing cover, so she quickly stored the items in her spatial storage and turned to go to where her teacher lived.
Professor Yuan saw Qian Duoduo and asked, "What brings you here?"
Qian Duoduo said, "There's a typhoon these past two days, teacher. Pack your things and come with me to the military compound first."
Liang Kun looked at the clear blue sky outside the window and asked, puzzled, "How did you know there was going to be a typhoon?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Yu Da and the others said they saw a tornado at sea."
Upon hearing this, Professor Yuan's expression changed, and he said, "Liang Kun, quickly pack your things. We're going to the military compound, and then we'll follow the instructions of the military leaders."
At this critical moment, when lives are at stake, we cannot put ourselves in danger because of a little doubt!
