Chapter 40 You guys should leave quickly
40
As night fell, Tang Yue's figure moved quickly along the mountain path, her emotions mixed. Although tonight's action was to protect her family, she still felt a heavy heart.
She didn't know who the spy her father had killed was, and why he had such influence that the spies came to her in waves, regardless of their own lives, to seek revenge. This had obviously exceeded Tang Yue's expectations.
She thought that the death of more than 20 spies at once last time would definitely put some pressure on those people, at least they would not take action in the near future. However, she did not expect that they would come so quickly.
In fact, Tang Yue didn't know that the spies she killed were actually a group of people, but they were separated to perform different tasks. Unexpectedly, those from Qiligou never returned.
The last time, more than 20 people came because of that black box. After all, most of the expenses were in that black box, so they came here in time.
Her steps were brisk, but her mind was still occupied. She didn't know how the villagers would react to the arrival of the spies, and she didn't know if it would put more pressure on her father.
When she returned home, the lights were already on. Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai were not there. The three Tangbei brothers were sitting on the kang with frowns on their faces, as if they were thinking about something.
Hearing the footsteps, the three brothers turned their heads in unison. When they saw Tang Yue, their eyes lit up, "Sister!"
"younger sister!"
"Sister, you're back."
Tang Yue heard no sound from inside the house and knew that Tang Shengkai and the others should have gone up the mountain.
Tang Yue sighed, her parents were still too worried about her.
"Mom and Dad are out?"
"Um, sister, are you okay?"
Tang Bei asked with concern, Tang Yue shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine."
"What happened on the mountain just now? Mom and Dad dropped their work and ran away when they heard the gunfire. Sister, did you run into spies again?
These damn spies, why are they so annoying! "
Tang Nan's machine-gun-like words immediately dispelled the haze in Tang Yue's heart. Tang Yue listened to Tang Nan's complaints with a smile. She felt that this was life.
"Well, second brother, when I went up the mountain, those spies were looking at the bones of those spies at the bottom of the mountain stream. I found out and didn't let them leave alive."
"Yes, sister, you did the right thing. If they are alive, they will be the biggest threat to us. Sister, are you okay?"
Tang Dong's eyes never left Tang Yue's face, and there was a strong look of worry in his eyes.
"Well, Third Brother, I'm fine. Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you can all rest assured."
"Sister, my elder brother and I will practice hard and learn it as soon as possible."
"Okay, Third Brother, I believe in you. You are all the best."
A few people were chatting with each other when they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the yard.
Several children hurried downstairs, and Lin Cuicui rushed into the house first.
"Yueyue, you're back? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Lin Cuicui's face was full of worry, and she hugged Tang Yue in her arms.
"As soon as gunshots rang out on the mountain, your father and I knew something had happened again. We rushed up the mountain and saw the bodies of several secret agents, but no sign of you. Your father was so worried that he almost couldn't walk."
Tang Shengkai then entered the room. Seeing Tang Yue return safely, a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Yueyue, I'm glad you're okay."
As soon as Tang Shengkai finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground.
"dad!"
"dad!"
"dad!"
"dad!"
Tang Yue quickly broke free from Lin Cuicui's arms, squatted on the ground to feel Tang Shengkai's pulse, and after a few breaths, she said, "It's okay, Mom. Dad was just too worried, and he's too weak, so he's a little exhausted."
While Tang Yue was speaking, she had already injected some of her spiritual power into Tang Shengkai. Tang Shengkai had not fainted at first. Once Tang Yue's spiritual power entered his body, Tang Shengkai's confusion about how to draw energy into his body was suddenly solved.
A huge smile appeared on Tang Shengkai's face.
Tang Yue's eyes widened in surprise. She saw that her father seemed to be able to absorb spiritual energy. Before she could express her surprise, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Tang Shengkai stopped absorbing spiritual energy and stood up to open the door. He saw several villagers standing outside the door, with anxiety and fear on their faces.
When the gunshots rang out on the mountain, the team leader heard it and immediately led some villagers up the mountain. They met Tang Shengkai on the rocky beach.
They didn't see the more than 20 bodies of spies last time, but this time many people saw the bloody scene clearly and they truly realized how terrifying the spies were.
"Shengkai, have you heard? The bodies of spies were found on the mountain again, three this time!" A villager's voice trembled slightly.
He didn't go up the mountain, but he heard from people who went up the mountain.
Tang Shengkai's face was grim. He knew this meant the villagers would think his family posed a greater threat to the village. Perhaps this was a good thing.
"Shengkai, you'd better leave now," another villager said pleadingly. "We don't want the village to suffer because of your family. If we accidentally find the wrong door one night, we'll all be dead."
Tang Shengkai fell silent. He knew the villagers' concerns were justified, but they'd accused him of being unproductive during the day. People's hearts were truly fickle.
He didn't hesitate any longer, "Don't worry, everyone. We'll pack up and leave in the next two days."
The team leader and several villagers rushed over and said, "What are you doing? Tang Shengkai is from Qiligou. What right do you have to chase him away?"
Huh? What's going on? Now that you've encountered a real spy, you want to chase them away? Who said that during the day?
You say that people who don't want to develop production in Qiligou are being lazy and want to become high-ranking officials and make a lot of money?"
The captain's last few words were so raspy that his voice cracked and veins popped out of his face. Tang Shengkai stepped forward and grabbed the captain's arm.
"Uncle Xu, don't be angry, it's okay. I said before that I didn't want to implicate everyone, but you may not have believed me. I think everyone should believe me now."
"I'd also like to apologize to everyone here. My family has indeed caused trouble for everyone during this period. Uncle Xu, could you please issue us a letter of introduction within the next two days?
Let's pack up quickly and try to leave in the next two days. Chinese New Year is almost here, and I hope everyone has a peaceful yet lively New Year."
Many of the villagers watching looked embarrassed, but no one said anything. At this point, nothing could be said. The captain chased them away, and everyone left. The captain didn't stay either.
"Yueyue, are you hungry? Mom will bring the food right away."
Tang Bei and others went to the stove to help, and soon the hot food was on the table.
No words were spoken that night.
"Yueyue, where are you going? The mountain has been a bit unstable lately. If you're going up there, you'd better take your dad with you."
Early in the morning, when Lin Cuicui opened the door, she saw Tang Yue already dressed and walking out, and it looked like she was going up the mountain.
Lin Cuicui now has a psychological trauma about going up the mountain, but she can't stop the child, so she can only let the head of the family go with her.
"No, Mom. I can go by myself."
"Yueyue, you, just let your father come with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
Tang Yue looked at Lin Cuicui, and finally couldn't help but wait for Tang Shengkai to go out together.
Tang Yue asked Tang Shengkai to carry a large basket and a pickaxe. They dug as they walked, and Tang Shengkai was sweating profusely.
"My girl, are these all medicinal herbs? There are several species that I don't recognize."
"Yes, Dad, these are what my master taught me."
Tang Shengkai nodded while working. It can be seen that Tang Shengkai is really a good worker and works neatly and efficiently. Before the two of them reached the rocky beach, Tang Shengkai's backpack was almost full.
"Girl, what are we doing here?"
Tang Yue pointed to a place and said, "Dad, there are a lot of good things there."
Tang Shengkai looked in the direction of Tang Yue's hand. There was nothing there. It was just bare rocks.
Tang Yue held Tang Shengkai's hand and said, "Dad, walk in the same pace as me."
Tang Shengkai didn't understand what it meant, but he just did whatever his daughter said. Tang Yue walked over casually with a few steps, and Tang Shengkai lowered his head and learned seriously from her.
When Tang Shengkai finished learning Tang Yue's steps and looked up to ask how to proceed, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
