Just then, Old Li called out from afar, "Girl, girl, come with me while it's still early, let's get rid of that guy quickly."
It kept making noises, but I couldn't understand what it was saying at all...
Recalling the strange, shifty looks the three county leaders gave her when she arrived, Ruan Xianxian waved her hand dismissively.
"Forget it, stop talking. All three were on that day, so it was at least one out of three."
Brother Li and I are going out for a bit. Keep a close eye on our finances, be careful, and don't let Institute 507 take the good stuff while I'm gone.
Our family's finance department?
It seems...not bad either.
Watching Ruan Xianxian disappear like a small whirlwind, Feng Bai's eyes flashed with a mixture of melancholy and relief, and he raised his voice:
"Go with peace of mind, be careful and stay safe. Leave the rear to me."
In the rubble forest, Old Li, riding his beloved motorcycle, patted the fuel tank as Ruan Xianxian rode up to him.
"Let's go and come back quickly, I'm really afraid that ancestor will cause trouble."
Ruan Xianxian: ? ? ?
Looking at the spot Old Li wanted her to sit in, her face darkened instantly. "Are you out of your mind? There's so much space in the back, why are you making me sit on the gas tank?"
Seeing her expression that said, "If you say another word, I'll kill you," Old Li chuckled awkwardly and muttered, "I thought kids liked to sit in the front."
Half an hour later—
Ruan Xianxian was driving the motorcycle, while Lao Li, whose face looked utterly hopeless, sat on the back seat, his hands gripping the handrails tightly.
The area was surrounded by soldiers watching the spectacle.
"Ancestor, Black Phoenix isn't, you're the ancestor, okay? Get down, you can't even reach the starter lever."
Anyone who has ridden an old-fashioned motorcycle knows that the starter lever is located diagonally below the right foot, and you have to kick it several times to start the motorcycle. People with short legs really can't do this job.
"Shut up." Ruan Xianxian was furious after failing to start it again. Just kidding, when she was live-streaming her support for the orphanage, what kind of work hadn't she done?
The contrast between the Lolita fashion enthusiast and her motorcycle was loved by netizens. During her live stream, many viewers jokingly called her "the coolest sister" and even gave her beloved motorcycle a affectionate nickname...
Bobo Chicken Brand Children's Stroller!
Recalling the past, Ruan Xianxian unconsciously smiled. Suddenly, the agent who was temporarily acting as her guard ran up the mountain in a sweat.
"Commander, something terrible has happened! This morning at dawn, Ji Hong, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, killed five members of the Zhou family with a knife in the detention center before committing suicide out of guilt."
Ya Zi shot him a suspicious look. "You're still using the kitchen knife that Comrade Ruan lost."
In his excitement, Comrade Ruan started the motorcycle, which had been uncooperative for a long time, with a roar. He twisted the throttle and the motorcycle sped off, nearly sending Old Li flying with his upper body off the ground.
Riding this big machine through the dense forest, weaving left and right, the motorcycle, though somewhat old-fashioned in appearance, has undergone special modifications, making off-roading a breeze.
The vehicle gradually slowed down until it had completely left the encampment.
"Where to?" she asked, supporting herself on one leg.
Old Li, who had just come to his senses, pointed in a direction with a blank face.
Riding a motorcycle in the mountains is really thrilling and exciting. With her adrenaline soaring, Ruan Xianxian shouted to Lao Li behind her.
"Does Brother Li know anything about that Black Phoenix's personality?"
She met everyone from Goose to Weiwei, and then to Huang Erbai Fox; each one had its own personality, just like a human.
Huang Er is loyal and righteous, while Weiwei is wise beyond her years...
Finding a comfortable way to get along isn't actually that difficult for powerful demons who have lived for many, many years to get along with.
The main reason for the conflict between powerful demons and humans is the inability to communicate effectively. She hasn't had much contact with powerful demons, so this is just some superficial speculation.
"I don't know what kind of personality he has, but he's pretty short-tempered, just like you." Old Li sneered inwardly. Of course he was short-tempered; he burned Old Li's robe in a single exchange.
That was the most expensive and most magnificent Xuanming judicial robe. It cost a fortune and took several Suzhou embroidery craftsmen a whole month to sew it, and then it was burned!
No! The more Old Li thought about it, the more heartbroken he became, not knowing if there was any possibility of repairing the robe.
Seeing his face contorted in pain, Ruan Xianxian changed the subject, and Old Li told her many strange and interesting stories along the way.
I incorporated some basic esoteric knowledge into the story and told it to her.
In this degenerate age, the Taoist sect is gradually declining, and every drop of fresh blood is the most precious treasure of China.
Otherwise, the 507 Institute wouldn't have sent this veteran to oversee the young girl's first mission.
After understanding Lao Li's good intentions, Ruan Xianxian listened attentively.
The motorcycle rode slowly and steadily deeper into the area, and Old Li also mentioned the windmill's method of warding off evil spirits.
"Windmills are regarded as an auspicious symbol in folk culture, and are called Bagua Windmills or Auspicious Wheels in the eyes of Taoists."
Historical records indicate that the windmill, used to ward off evil spirits, was invented by Jiang Ziya. It was later improved by Lu Ban, evolving into the windmill we know today.
When windmills are mentioned, Ruan Xianxian can't help but think of the wind turbines that have been planted all over the country in later generations. Some of them are in reasonable locations, while the locations of some wind turbines are quite mysterious.
Deep in the wild forests and mountains, with steep cliffs.
Now that I think about it, some of the wind turbines located in the mountains are arranged in a dragon shape. Could it be that something is being suppressed underneath them?
"Should we put windmills in that scree forest?"
Old Li nodded, "Yes, it's necessary. We need to gradually improve the feng shui of these yin-gathering areas. I've already marked the locations; the rest can be handled by the military."
Been taught a lesson!
As they were talking, Old Li called for a stop, and the motorcycle stopped in an open area in the mountains.
Looking around, one sees mountains all around, like a huge barrier carefully crafted by nature, with a basin in the center that resembles a paradise.
The soft green grass spread out like a carpet, stretching downwards. A gentle breeze blows, rippling the layers of green grass, with colorful wildflowers dotting the landscape.
Red like fire, pink like the sunset, white like snow, blooming freely and unrestrained.
A clear lake, like a sapphire, is embedded in this natural landscape.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Ruan Xianxian hissed.
Old Li, pacing with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows. "Is this all? Changbai Mountain is covered in silver and white snow in winter. That's what real beauty is. I'll take you there sometime."
The content and tone were perfectly fine, but Ruan Xianxian had a gut feeling that this old man was up to no good in trying to lure her into the deep mountains.
He chuckled and said, "We'll see, we'll see!"
Old Li couldn't help but click his tongue. What a sharp intuition!
Forcing a cow to drink water will only backfire; the child is still young, let's take it slow.
The motorcycle was parked outside the small basin. Ruan Xianxian did not want to disturb the tranquility and insisted on walking. Old Li followed her and let her squat in front of the lake to play in the water for a while before walking to the other side.
The exceptionally obedient Ruan Xianxian tried to put her hand into the lake water. Hiss, it's so cold! It must be a lake formed by the convergence of snowmelt from the mountains. No wonder it's so cold.
From afar came Old Li's call, "Girl, come here."
In a small, dense forest in the basin, a large black bird resembling a peacock perched on a tree branch, chirping incessantly.
Old Li stopped the person a few meters away, saying, "It has a bad temper, so in case it suddenly attacks and hurts someone, listen to what it has to say."
Ruan Xianxian stood behind a large tree that three people could barely encircle. From her angle, all she could see was a beautiful section of black tail feathers.
She listened intently, and in the next instant, her expression changed drastically...
