Just as Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, the ghosts blocked at the cave entrance suddenly let out miserable cries, and then an angry voice floated from the underworld to the cave entrance, "Jialan, I will find you, just wait for me."
Zhang Meng's face immediately turned pale and she grabbed Gu Mingtai's arm tightly.
Why is this Hou Qing always haunting me?
"It's actually the power of the Ghost Emperor!"
Di Zhi's expression changed slightly, and he looked into the cave entrance with a heavy face.
After mumbling to himself, he immediately turned to look at Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, "Who is the Galan that the Ghost Emperor was talking about?"
"I don't know! We don't know this person at all!" Gu Mingtai replied coldly.
Gu Mingtai frowned, glanced at the cave entrance that had been sealed by the formation, and finally said with relief, "Nothing will happen here anymore, take us up."
Di Zhi's expression was still gloomy. "I suddenly have a bad feeling. This is just the beginning. There will be even bigger troubles in the future. You better be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Meng looked at Gu Mingtai uneasily.
Gu Mingtai patted the back of her hand and continued to speak to Di Zhi expressionlessly, "We are aware of these matters. We humans should not stay in this place any longer. Please send us to the mortal realm."
Seeing this, Di Zhi suddenly smiled and stared at Gu Mingtai seriously for a while, "Comrade Gu, who are you? I can see through everyone in this world, except you and your wife, I have never seen through them!"
Seeing that he kept paying attention to what he said, Gu Mingtai frowned and stared at him with an unhappy look.
Di Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately spread his hands, "Got it, I'll send you back to the mortal world right away."
Di Zhi suppressed his curiosity and began to chant the spell again.
After a while, Zhang Meng and others felt the same feeling as when they came down, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.
When they opened their eyes again, they heard the excited voices of the soldiers.
Di Zhi walked up to Zhang Mengmeng with a faint smile and said, "Zhang Meng, don't remember the conditions you promised me. I'm waiting for your pill."
After that, he curled his lips and quickly turned around and left.
As soon as the group walked out of the deep pit, they encountered a group of troops stationed there.
After a conversation, everyone realized that this group of troops had come to help them clean up the aftermath.
After Gu Mingtai explained the matter in detail to the military leader, he took everyone on the military vehicle that was taking them back to the military region.
By the time they arrived at the military area, it was already the next morning.
She really hadn't slept at all in the past two days, and her whole body and mind were in a state of high tension. As soon as she returned to the military region, Zhang Meng separated from Gu Mingtai who was going to report to Commander Shu, and she went home first to catch up on her sleep.
When I woke up, it was already around three or four in the afternoon.
After waking up, Zhang Meng, feeling refreshed, walked out of the room and Xiao Zhuang hugged her left leg.
"Mom, you finally woke up! Xiao Zhuang has been waiting for you for a long time."
The little zombie grinned at Zhang Meng with two rows of cute teeth.
Zhang Meng's heart immediately melted by the adorable smile on his face. She stroked his fair and tender little face and asked, "Did you listen to your grandmother at home during the days I was away?"
When Xiao Zhuang heard this, he immediately stood up straight and nodded vigorously. "I heard it. I even helped Grandma with the housework. If Mom doesn't believe me, you can go ask Grandma!"
At this time, Grandma Zhang came out with a bowl of food that had been warmed in the pot beforehand. Upon hearing Xiao Zhuang's words, she immediately smiled and said, "I did listen, and he was very obedient. Don't worry."
Zhang Meng smiled then, took Xiao Jiang's hand and walked towards Grandma Zhang, taking the food from her hands.
Seeing that the food was all her favorite, Zhang Meng felt warm in her heart. She smiled touchingly and said to Grandma Zhang, "It's better to be at home. Grandma cooks my favorite food."
When Grandma Zhang heard this, she looked at her distressedly and said, "Who told you two to spend half of the 360-odd days a year outside? I don't know when you will stop and spend some quality time at home with us old folks and children."
Zhang Meng immediately pulled Grandma Zhang's hand guiltily. The hand was full of wrinkles, not smooth, and slightly rough, but she felt at ease holding it. "Grandma, I'm sorry!"
Grandma Zhang smiled kindly. "What's there to be sorry about? I'm just complaining. You still have to do what you need to do. I know that what you are doing is a great cause that will save the country and benefit the people. I won't hold you back."
Zhang Meng felt even more guilty after hearing this. "Eat, let's not talk about this anymore. But I've come to terms with it. If you can't always be with us, then don't be. As long as you all come home safely, I'll be satisfied."
Zhang Meng had the food in her mouth and her eyes were a little red.
Just then, the door opened and Gu Mingtai walked in from outside, looking tired.
"grandmother!"
As soon as he came in and saw Grandma Zhang sitting in the living room, Gu Mingtai immediately perked up and called out to her.
Seeing this, Grandma Zhang immediately stood up and said, "Sit down, I'll bring you your meal!"
Zhang Meng immediately put down the dishes in her hands and said, "Grandma, don't go. I'll go."
Grandma Zhang grabbed her arm and said, "Okay, just sit down and eat. I'm not so old that I can't even hold a bowl of food." After that, Grandma Zhang turned and went into the kitchen.
Zhang Meng looked at Grandma Zhang's back distressedly as she walked in. "Gu Mingtai, why do I feel like Grandma has aged a lot all of a sudden? We must spend more time with her in the future."
Gu Mingtai gently held her hand and whispered, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Meng heard his weak voice and immediately turned to look at him. Only then did she realize that he looked really bad. She quickly helped him sit down and asked, "Why are you so tired? Didn't you get any rest when you went there?"
Gu Mingtai rubbed his forehead. "The higher-ups knew we had solved the big pit, and they kept calling to inquire about the situation. Then they held another meeting, and finally they decided to promote me."
Zhang Meng looked at him in surprise and said, "Promotion! Then you'll be the group leader after the promotion!"
Gu Mingtai nodded a little sheepishly, a rare gesture. "At first, I was, but then the higher-ups changed their minds and decided to promote me twice. From now on, my position will be brigade commander! I'll be skipping the regimental position directly."
Zhang Meng happily grabbed his arm and said, "Gu Mingtai, you are amazing."
At this point, Zhang Meng slapped her lips, then grinned and shouted at him again, "Brigade Commander Gu, you're amazing."
Gu Mingtai was amused by her cute and confused look just now. At the same time, he grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his palm with heartache, "I don't care about you, Brigadier General Gu. All my honors are inseparable from you. Half of them should belong to you.
