Zhang Meng's expression brightened, and she immediately walked up to him and asked, "Where is it?"
When Gu Mingtai, who was sitting on the side, heard these words, his eyes, which had been calm all the time, moved and he pricked up his ears to listen.
When the Ghost King Aye saw that the two of them were so interested in what he was going to say next, he suddenly felt very honored and deliberately paused for a long while.
Zhang Meng, whose patience was almost exhausted, saw that it had been keeping her in suspense, and angrily raised her hand and hit it, "Speak or not, speak or not."
The ghost king Aye was beaten so hard that he howled and dodged from side to side, begging for mercy, "I say, I say, stop hitting me, stop hitting me."
"Hurry up and say it!" Zhang Meng stopped.
Ghost King Aye secretly glared at Zhang Meng before hesitatingly saying, "You weren't here for the past two days, and I was bored, so I went to another city to hang out. There I ran into a good friend of mine from thousands of years ago. He told me there's a ghost market in that city that opens every fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Whether from the mortal realm or the underworld, people come here to sell their wares. They sell all sorts of treasures!"
Zhang Meng immediately looked at Gu Mingtai.
Gu Mingtai raised his eyebrows and stroked his chin, saying, "I've read about this place called Ghost Market before in a book that my master gave me. When I saw it at the time, I just thought it was just random writing in the book and didn't take it seriously!"
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up. "So, this ghost market really does exist. Then let's go there to look for herbs. I have a lot of free time right now, and I really want to make some pills."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Mingtai with a pitiful face.
Especially since she had read the alchemy secret book thoroughly but had no way to try it out, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Gu Mingtai smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the ghost market." He still had a week left from his last leave, which was enough time for the two of them to go to the ghost market.
"Really, that's great, Gu Mingtai, you are so nice to me! Thank you!" Zhang Meng hugged him happily, leaning in his arms like a little bird.
Aye, who was ignored by her, was so angry that his face turned red. He shouted loudly, "You guy who broke the bridge when crossing the river, I was the one who told you about this ghost market, why don't you thank me!"
It's a pity that this sentence is destined to become air. What a coincidence, the fifteenth day of the lunar year is coming in two days.
The young couple spent a day at home with their family. Two days later, they drove the military vehicle to the next city.
As soon as he arrived in the city and saw the main street market which was more prosperous than theirs, Zhang Meng finally understood why there was a ghost market in this city.
People here walk with a sense of superiority.
The military vehicle drove to the gate of the city’s Public Security Bureau and stopped.
"Find someone." Seeing the little woman next to him looking at him, Gu Mingtai immediately explained.
Zhang Meng nodded without asking any further questions. The presence of a military vehicle at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau naturally piqued the curiosity of the police officers inside, and many of them came out to take a look.
Gu Mingtai had just gotten off the car when a man in a police uniform suddenly ran up and hugged him tightly, "Gu Ying, is it really you?"
Gu Mingtai hugged the other person back, and then the two reluctantly let go of each other.
"You kid, you haven't said anything since you retired. If I hadn't asked others, I wouldn't have known that you were working as a public security officer here."
The man in the police uniform blushed crimson at Gu Mingtai's words. After a while, he stammered, "Gu Ying, I'm not doing well here, so I'm sorry to come to you. I originally wanted to come to you after I got better, but I didn't expect you to come to me first."
Gu Mingtai patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me. I am still in the army and can help you with most things." The man's eyes reddened and he lowered his head and nodded.
Gu Mingtai sighed, patted his shoulder again, and suddenly said, "Don't cry, be careful not to let your sister-in-law see you and laugh at you."
When the man heard this, he immediately wiped his red eyes, raised his head and looked around, and soon his eyes fixed on Zhang Meng.
"Sister-in-law!" The man called out to Zhang Meng embarrassedly. Zhang Meng smiled at him, "Hello."
Gu Mingtai immediately introduced them to each other, "This is a former comrade of mine. I heard from other comrades a few days ago that he works here. His last name is Ma, you can just call him Lao Ma."
Lao Ma immediately followed with a smile, "Yes, sister-in-law, you can just call me Lao Ma."
At this moment, the public security officers who were watching the excitement at the door shouted to Lao Ma, "Lao Ma, who is this soldier comrade to you?"
In this day and age, soldiers are the objects of envy and admiration for many people.
Therefore, now that Gu Mingtai, dressed in military uniform, drove over in a military vehicle, the sensation he caused here was naturally beyond words.
This is the first time that Lao Ma has seen his colleagues here being so enthusiastic towards him, but he doesn't think they are being so enthusiastic towards him.
"This is a former comrade of mine in the army, and he's my battalion commander!" Lao Ma introduced him to them.
At this time, being able to establish a relationship with the military was a supreme matter. When everyone saw Lao Ma's reply, they all came over to greet Gu Mingtai. "Captain Gu, you said, I'm Lao Ma's colleague."
"I'm also Lao Ma's colleague, Gu Ying. Where did you serve as a soldier? Your rank must be very high!" He can actually drive a military vehicle.
Gu Mingtai just gave these strangers a faint smile.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't even bother to pay any attention.
Old Ma knew that his battalion commander was a quiet person. He thought that the fact that he smiled at his colleagues was probably out of respect for his commander. He couldn't let the commander suffer any grievances. Thinking of this, Old Ma quickly said to the colleagues who were approaching, "Everyone, my commander and his wife came to see me today. I want to leave work a little early. Is that okay?"
"What's wrong with that? You can go ahead. There's nothing particularly important happening recently anyway." A man who seemed to be the captain of their group spoke up.
Old Ma's face lit up with joy, and he politely said to the man who had just spoken, "Thank you, Captain Zhang."
Soon, Lao Ma left the Public Security Bureau in front of these attentive colleagues in the military vehicle driven by Gu Mingtai.
Looking at the colleagues still standing at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau behind the car, Lao Ma smiled and said to Gu Mingtai who was driving, "Gu Ying, it's thanks to you that these colleagues are smiling at me today."
Gu Mingtai raised his eyebrows and glanced at him sideways, "What's wrong? Are you not getting along well with them?"
Old Ma laughed at himself, "One thing is that because I was parachuted in here, these people think that I, a person from the countryside, got this position, which is like stealing their jobs, so they don't really want to pay attention to me, a person from the countryside."
