Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Xinning has almost finished learning the knowledge of her second semester of university and is just waiting for the school to set the date for the exam.
The work of capturing enemy agents on Xu Yaozu's side has also entered a critical stage.
I thought that after working with Chen Ping to capture several enemy agents on the islands, Yao Dahai's problem was solved. I never expected those people to launch a surprise attack.
Xujia Village has been without power for several days, which makes Yang Chunqin very anxious. A few months ago, when the lotus root harvest was plentiful, she applied for a workshop for the village, mainly to produce lotus root powder and sweet potato noodles.
If the power goes out, the workshop can't work normally.
Yang Chunqin made several trips to the power company for this matter.
After several attempts, the power company finally sent Wang Zhaoguo, who was more familiar with the power supply in Xujia Village.
When Wang Zhaoguo arrived, he brought four or five people with him. These people were all tall and strong, with sharp eyes and light bodies when they walked. If Xu Xinning and Xu Mingyang were there, they would be able to tell at a glance that these people were skilled in martial arts.
Yang Chunqin was too anxious and didn't notice the strange behavior of these people after they came to the village. Besides, there was an old acquaintance, Wang Zhaoguo, among them, so Yang Chunqin didn't think about the worst-case scenario.
As expected of someone from a warlord background, Yao Dahai sensed something was wrong as soon as these people arrived in the village. He could tell at a glance that they were all from military backgrounds.
After making arrangements for Old Mrs. Chen, Yao Dahai rode his bicycle to the county public security bureau to find Xu Yaozu.
After learning about Yao Dahai's past identity, Xu Yaozu trusted his vigilance and immediately organized a group of people to go to Xujia Village.
Yao Dahai didn't know what these people's purpose was in coming to the village, but judging from their demeanor, they didn't seem to have good intentions.
At this moment, Yao Dahai had no idea that the purpose of these people going to Xujia Village was to capture him alive. As for why they wanted to capture him alive, it was simply because his strategist had always suspected that he was hiding a treasure. However, the bigger reason was his jealousy of Yao Dahai, who always felt uneasy with Yao Dahai around.
People die for wealth, birds die for food. Because of the strategist's suspicion, the people on the other side of the island became greedy and issued a secret order to capture Yao Dahai alive.
Wang Zhaoguo escaped capture by Xu Yaozu last time, so he harbors resentment towards the people of Xujia Village.
Xu Yaozu and his men rushed there, fearing that these people might harm the villagers.
Yang Chunqin called Xu Xinning in tears, saying that Xu Yaozu was seriously injured and was only being kept alive by the medicine Xu Xinning had left at home. When he was taken to the hospital, the doctors said there was no way to treat him.
Xu Yaozu's injury was to his heart; if it weren't for Xu Xinning's medicine, he probably wouldn't have made it.
The family didn't want to disturb Xu Xinning's schooling, but given Xu Yaozu's condition, they felt that no one but Xu Xinning could save him, so Yang Chunqin called Xu Xinning.
When Grandpa Mu and the others found out, they immediately arranged for someone to drive Xu Xinning back. At that moment, time was of the essence, and taking the train back was simply not feasible.
Meanwhile, when Xu Yaozu and his men arrived at Xujia Village, they found that the people had already found the Chen family, but Yao Dahai was not there. The people originally wanted to take Old Lady Chen hostage, but coincidentally, when Old Lady Xu made pastries and sent them to Old Lady Chen, it disrupted their plans.
Wang Zhaoguo had eaten at the Xu family's house before, so he knew Old Madam Xu. In addition, given the relationship between Xu Yaozu and Xu Mingyang, Wang Zhaoguo didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
It was because of this coincidence that Grandma Chen escaped a disaster.
Those people then planned to ambush Yao Dahai at the Chen family's residence.
Xu Yaozu and his men discovered the ambush when they arrived.
To avoid harming the villagers, Xu Yaozu and his men drove them into the deep mountains.
These men were all seasoned veterans, and Xu Yaozu's men were no match for them at all. On the contrary, Yao Dahai was still as sharp as ever, and he and Xu Yaozu worked together effectively.
Xu Yaozu was shot while saving Yao Dahai. At that time, he took out the medicine that Xu Xinning had given him, which allowed him to hold out until they were caught before passing out.
Xu Yaozu felt much relieved after saving Yao Dahai.
Ever since Wang Ying saved Xu Xinning from disappearance, Xu Yaozu has always felt that the Xu family owes the Chen family a life. Today, he has finally repaid that life, so from the bottom of his heart, Xu Yaozu feels like he has finally paid off his debt.
Two days and two nights had passed by the time Xu Xinning arrived, thanks to the two drivers who had been driving day and night.
Xu Xinning quickly washed up and went to see Xu Yaozu.
Three days had passed since the incident.
Xu Yaozu lay there with his eyes closed and his face ashen; anyone who didn't know better would think he was already dead.
Grandma Xu, Grandpa Xu, Yang Chunqin, and Xu Laosan all had red eyes. These past few days have been extremely difficult. None of the four dared to leave Xu Yaozu, fearing that he might suddenly pass away if they weren't careful.
Upon seeing Xu Xinning return, Yang Chunqin immediately came to greet her: "Mom will go get you something to eat."
Xu Xinning shook her head and said, "I ate something on the way. I'll check on Dad first. Mom, let Grandpa and Grandma rest for a while. Don't let them collapse from exhaustion when Dad is fine."
Yang Chunqin: "We tried to persuade them, but they weren't in the mood to rest. They were all working hard. We're so grateful to the third brother these past few days. He's been running around taking care of everything. He even gave us the medicine you left behind. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hold on these past few days!"
Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu held onto Xu Yaozu's hands tightly, not even noticing Xu Xinning's arrival.
Xu Xinning walked over and hugged Grandma Xu, whispering, "Grandma, I'm back."
Grandma Xu finally came to her senses, stared at Xu Xinning for a long time, and tears kept falling down her face.
Xu Xinning stroked Old Mrs. Xu's hair, her heart aching beyond words.
They say that hair turns white overnight, and Xu Xinning has certainly witnessed it firsthand.
Although Grandma Xu was over sixty years old, she had very few white hairs. But what Xu Xinning saw now was a full head of silver hair, with almost no black hairs visible.
Xu Xinning's eyes also reddened.
Grandpa Xu was quite rational. Seeing Xu Xinning's anxiety, he said, "Quick, quick, check on your father."
Xu Xinning took Xu Yaozu's pulse and looked at his wound. Then she said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, you can all go out now. I will make sure Dad is alright, don't worry! Mom, have the third brother guard the door for me. No one can disturb me without my permission, not even if I haven't come out for a few days."
Yang Chunqin actually discovered that Xu Xinning had a secret when Xu Xinning first performed surgery on Xu Xialian's man. She was very familiar with the medical station, which did not have the conditions for performing surgery at all, and she had never seen some of the surgical instruments there. However, since Xu Xinning did not say anything, she did not ask.
As a mother, all she wanted was for her child to be safe and sound. To protect Xu Xinning, she would only help her keep it a secret.
