After sending away Feng Bai, who stood there like a cold-faced demon, only one and a half of their own people remained in the room. Ruan Xianxian's energy and spirit had visibly recovered.
Yes! Mu Xia is one, and Fan Caicai is half.
Promising to rest completely, and to complete the charade, Ruan Xianxian actually stayed in the hospital bed for half a month.
During this time, the promised payment and specially prepared pills for her body were delivered one after another.
The days spent lying in the hospital bed were not boring. Mu Xia somehow brought over a color television set, which could receive not only domestic channels but also two foreign channels.
The two of them would sit in front of the TV every day, rewatching Tom and Jerry. Mu Xia, who didn't have much of a childhood and was watching Tom and Jerry for the first time, was particularly engrossed.
In half a month, Ruan Xianxian took the opportunity to recuperate her body from the inside out.
Instead of the energy-boosting pills sent by Song Nanli, she used medicine from the system shop that was more suitable for her current condition.
One day, after drinking a cup of malted milk powder, Mu Xia suddenly felt discomfort in her lower abdomen. After running to the toilet three times, she came out and looked at Ruan Xianxian with a meaningful gaze.
That day, she changed her dinner from ordinary rice to brightly colored, flavorful, and more nutritious red rice.
Mu Xia faced the TV and said, "You've all eaten. No leftovers today. I've cooked this rice three times. Each time I cooked it, the grains stretched out a bit."
Besides these, the two also sneaked out of the hospital in the middle of the night and drove around buying up all the houses for sale in the nearby county.
The landlord, who would always be on guard against the two women when they were invited to meet in the middle of the night, would even bring along a whole host of relatives to accompany them.
There's no way around it, what kind of kind person would be looking at a house in the middle of the night?
However, for Ruan Xianxian and Mu Xia, who are both incredibly strong and have no ill intentions, it was no problem. They viewed the house in the middle of the night, and Xia Xia was in charge of the transfer of ownership during the day.
During this time, she encountered many difficulties and was also targeted by people with ulterior motives, but Mu Xia solved them all single-handedly.
Feng Bai and Lao Li came several times in between, and they not only told us that all the people involved in the case in the county office had been arrested, but also about the current situation of the dragon vein being targeted by the Japanese.
"The 'Two Extremes Reversal Formation' is designed to disrupt the feng shui of the dragon vein, turning vital energy into dead energy."
Without the protection of Zhenlong and the methods of the Yin-Yang Master, the dragon veins were corroded by death energy. This caused a ripple effect, affecting all related dragon veins.
Fortunately, it was discovered early; otherwise, we would have had the ability but not enough manpower to repair the drafty house.
No one wants to face such consequences, girl. Old Zhao said he'll remember this as a merit for you.
Ruan Xianxian didn't ask about the merits in detail, but just said as if listening to a foreign language, "What do you mean that setting up an array can erode the dragon vein? That's too far-fetched."
"Wouldn't it be that any few capable individuals who come along could pose a threat to our dragon vein?"
Old Li laughed, all the fatigue of the past few days vanishing under her innocent words. Perhaps it's human nature to be a teacher, and he went on and on about a whole bunch of things to her.
The so-called "Two-Pole Reversal Formation" is not something that can be easily set up by anyone with a rudimentary understanding of formations; the materials required would require the resources of an entire nation.
Speculate on what level of Onmyoji the island nation deployed.
Just suppressing and arresting that dragon will cost a lot of manpower.
"Moreover, I suspect..." Old Li's smile slowly faded.
"Not only did the island nation set up a formation beneath the dragon vein, but a powerful being also brought a wisp of the Emperor's power into the country, deceiving everyone."
"Oh, that sounds impressive." Ruan Xianxian said expressionlessly. "I only care about when we can kill the Japanese devils."
Old Li couldn't resist stroking her fluffy head, which had been lying in bed for too long.
"I heard you killed a Japanese enemy agent without even asking him anything. How can you be so bloodthirsty?"
He avoided answering Ruan Xianxian's question about when he could kill the Japanese soldiers; in other words, he said he couldn't.
"Your superiors have defined you as the rear area. Once the initial preparations are complete, come with me to a few places."
To prevent the war plan from being leaked, the specific counterattack plan may only be known to a few key figures in charge. They are only responsible for carrying out their own part and do not ask about others.
Ruan Xianxian curled her lips. The same old trick of avoiding alerting the enemy. How boring.
Old Li left her a few more words, telling her to take good care of herself, that the hospital was surrounded by a metal fence and its safety was relatively guaranteed, but that she should still be careful, and then he hurriedly left.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xianxian was assassinated again the next day.
After being reminded repeatedly, she cursed and forcefully pulled off the IV bottle that the nurse had just hung up, startling the nurse.
Under the intense gaze of two armed soldiers who entered after hearing the commotion, the young nurse spoke rapidly, assuring everyone that she hadn't done anything wrong and was willing to cooperate with the organization's investigation.
The investigation results came in a day later. This time, the problem wasn't within the hospital, but rather that the medication had been tampered with during transport.
The poison's name is unknown, but it can cause death within hours of being injected into the body.
Within a few hours? Shouldn't an island nation strike decisively and kill in one blow? Why would they leave her a few hours to save her life?
Ruan Xianxian kept a watchful eye on things.
After that day, she stopped receiving IV drips and spent her days eating and drinking with Mu Xia in the ward, occasionally sending Cai Cai out to run errands.
Before she knew it, it was time to be discharged. Looking at the private ward where she was the only one staying, Ruan Xianxian felt a little reluctant to leave.
Fan Caicai had already moved the packed luggage to the car downstairs, leaving only a television set in the ward that had kept the two women company for many days.
Just as Ruan Xianxian picked up the TV, one of the two soldiers who had been watching over her for almost half a month came in and stopped her.
"Comrade Ruan, you cannot take this television set with you."
"Why?" Ruan Xianxian asked him, "If I remember correctly, we brought the TV ourselves, so why can't we take it with us?"
"Sorry, this is an order from above," the soldier said resolutely.
Ruan Xianxian and Mu Xia exchanged glances. Of course, they knew why: this TV could not only receive local channels from other provinces, but also two international signals.
If it could be used in the military industry...
Mu Xia painstakingly pieced together this color television, not to collaborate with a radio factory to produce any television sets.
The color is just a gimmick to attract attention.
The real highlight is the signal receiver.
Many people visited her during her hospitalization, including the commander of the Third Regiment.
Ruan Xianxian was already quite surprised that they had waited until now to confiscate the TV; she thought it would have been taken away at the latest ten days ago.
At the same time, Feng Guangman, the commander of the First Army of Heilongjiang Province, hung up the phone with a radiant face and patted his grandson on the shoulder.
Well done!
Knowing to guard your aunt closely and protect her, you've gained the upper hand. Now let's see which of those two old men can outmaneuver you!
Feng Bai calmly looked at his grandfather's beaming face and said something that was both hurtful and very realistic, which made the old man's smile freeze instantly.
"I wanted to give you the TV, but Ruan Xianxian could have waited until she returned to Heilongjiang Province. She deliberately showed off in front of others in an attempt to catch more fish."
You've stirred up the river water she's already baited; I wonder if that fishing rod in her hand will knock your head off and use it as a stool.
