“If I were that woman, I would feel bad for wronging you if I didn’t call some people to kidnap you, beat you up, and confirm your identity as an enemy agent.”
Feng Bai covered his bruised eye socket and got up from the ground. He learned from his experience of being beaten that his uncle would basically never hit him again after he had slapped him in the face.
The premise is that you don't say anything you shouldn't say that might offend him, but at this moment he's holding back his anger, like some kind of little animal seeking validation.
"But I'm 70% sure she killed someone."
Instead of focusing on evidence, Miyano asked him three questions in return, emphasizing the importance of grasping the key points.
"If you're so confident, why don't you arrest them?"
"Did she kill innocent people, or those who deserved to die?"
"How idle do you, a regimental commander, have to overstep your bounds and meddle? Why don't we have the old man transfer you to the seaside?"
Feng Bai: ? ? ?
He stubbornly insisted, "Even those who deserve to die should be judged by the law, not subjected to vigilante justice."
"So!" Miyano kicked her nephew's ugly face away with her toe, "With your personality, you should let the old man choose someone with similar values to marry and have kids with as soon as possible."
"Don't ruin good girls' lives. Find them later and apologize properly."
Here it comes, the most familiar apology and correction segment is about to begin. With the thought of dying and being reborn as soon as possible, Feng Bai reluctantly agrees.
Phew! Miyano felt refreshed after beating up his nephew with a legitimate reason, and tapped the documents on the table with his fingertips.
"Don't stay in bed. Get up and tell me about that heretic. I took a quick look upstream this morning and didn't find the giant tortoise you mentioned, but I did find the place where it used to live."
He's sleeping in? He's been beaten so badly he can't get up, okay?
Sometimes Feng Bai really wants to report it to the police!
Getting down to business and wanting to quickly move on from this topic, he frowned. "Impossible! I saw that turtle yesterday."
Uncle, have you searched through the mud?
"No, there really isn't," Miyano thought for a moment. "Go out now and cordon off the shore. It's inconvenient with people around. After clearing the area, I'll go down and investigate thoroughly."
Twenty minutes later, both the soldiers and the river workers had left the riverbank, leaving only the uncle and nephew standing on the bank.
Seeing that Gong Ye was about to jump into the river again, Feng Bai quickly pulled him back: "The old turtle knocked a hole in the river dam, and the crack is extending downwards. Uncle, could you take another look and see if there is any possibility of repairing it?"
Miyano agreed, ventured deep into the murky water, and after confirming that there was no sign of the giant turtle, swam back to the dam, waved his hand to create a barrier in front of him, and carefully examined the cracks.
The damage wasn't severe; the heretic had struck it for some unknown reason, and there were no signs of malicious damage.
He went back ashore, looked up at the Songjiang tributary behind the dam, and understood.
"During those days of heavy rain, did the authorities release floodwaters?"
Seeing Feng Bai nod, he said, "It must be some old fellow from Songjiang. I don't know how he came here with the current, and he's trying to breach the dikes."
"Where is it now?"
Miyano shook her head. "I don't know!"
Feng Bai: ? ? ?
Could things get any more unreliable?
Half an hour later, the uncle and nephew found the place where the old turtle had last stayed, which was also the place where Ruan Xianxian had taken away. Gong Ye, who was soaking in the water, touched the fresh marks underwater.
"It probably stayed here for the last time. It was either taken away by someone or found its way back on its own. I'm sure the heretic isn't upstream."
Feng Bai's face, marred by a mix of red and green, froze for a moment. "Taken away by someone?"
Last night someone said there was a commotion in the river, and when I came to check, the water had already returned to calm.
Uncle, I'll have someone check who approached the riverbank yesterday.
Miyano slowly climbed back to shore like an old man winter swimming, and upon hearing this, shook the water droplets off his head and said:
"I advise you not to be so curious. If someone could really take away a giant tortoise silently and bring you along as well, it would be a piece of cake."
Feng Bai pursed his lips. "If, and I mean if, what use would the giant tortoise be if it were really taken away?"
Miyano took off his wet shirt, and seeing that no one was around, he took off his nephew's clothes and put them on himself.
"What can it be used for? Take it to the lab to extract some cells and N to research longevity drugs."
After saying that, seeing that Feng Bai was going to investigate again, and after confirming that his nephew's mediocre skills were acquired through a trade of intelligence, he finally finished speaking.
"But this guess is not valid. The mucus on your comrade's body proves that he was entrusted by someone to return it."
It couldn't have been just a whim of an old tortoise.
Those who harbor such thoughts are not our enemies.
He looked intently at Feng Bai, who was a bit taller than him, and said, "Xiao Bai, that person doesn't want to reveal his identity and isn't an enemy, so why do you have to investigate him so thoroughly?"
In a way, they even helped us.
You'd better get rid of this ungrateful habit as soon as possible.
Feng Bai: ...
Why did he see a 1.9-meter-tall giant baby in his uncle's eyes?
Miyano stopped looking at this troublesome thing and left a faint remark: "I'll say it again, if someone can take away the giant tortoise, making you disappear along the way is no problem."
If you want to be stubborn, then keep being stubborn.
...
When Ruan Xianxian and Lao Li returned from shopping in the county town, they noticed that the riverbank was unusually quiet today.
The car stopped in front of the small tent. Ruan Xianxian had just gotten out of the car to say goodbye to Lao Li when the goose flapped its big wings and plunged into its mother's arms, quacking loudly as it complained.
"There are bad guys eyeing my fur and my grain. Fight them! Fight them!"
Ruan Xianxian held the goose tightly in her arms.
When she first arrived, she forbade the goose from leaving the tent. Downstream were villagers, and she was afraid that the goose would be attacked and stewed for meat by the crowd.
It was only after they arrived upstream and found only soldiers, not villagers, that they allowed him to move around freely.
The goose was so well-fed and glossy that it clearly belonged to someone, and soldiers wouldn't touch things that already belonged to someone else.
I didn't expect to be bullied after only one day?
After listening to his rambling, Ruan Xianxian roughly understood.
In Goose's own words, he was walking along the riverbank when suddenly someone grabbed him by the neck and asked him what he ate to grow so tall. He wanted to eat something too.
Ruan Xianxian patted the goose's head and laughed, "I was just teasing you. Wouldn't it be nice to eat your meat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her arm was pinched. She grabbed the goose's beak speechlessly. "You insisted on coming here. It's much more dangerous outside than in our village. If you want to keep the goose feed and feathers, don't go out for a while."
It was not yet 10 a.m., and Ruan Xianxian was about to take a half-hour nap before going to the kitchen, which was too early, when Feng Bai's bodyguard came looking for her.
"Comrade Ruan! The regimental commander wants you to come over to the tent."
That troublemaker is at it again?
With his feet following behind the guard, he was already mentally calculating 108 ways to kill Feng Bai.
As the tent flap was lifted, Ruan Xianxian, whose forehead was almost touched by a small flame, looked up and saw a big, bruised cat.
She chuckled. "What? You've done so many bad things that you've finally... finally met a good person?"
She wanted to say she had encountered a ghost, but then realized it wasn't appropriate to say "demons and monsters" now, so she changed her mind halfway through.
The word "good person" greatly pleased Gong Ye, who was sitting behind Feng Bai. He used his toes to move his nephew, who looked like a telephone pole, to the side.
"Xiao Bai! Apologize to that woman."
