There are times when you feel helpless around people who are overly friendly, and An Moxue was like that with this older sister.
She walked over to Wu Sicheng and said, "Come on, let's find a place to sit! I've ordered."
"Didn't we agree that I'd treat you?"
"Of course, it's the same if you give me the money and tickets later!"
"Okay!" he said, with a mix of indulgence and helplessness.
After the two sat down, An Moxue asked, "How did it go? Is everything settled?"
"Well, Uncle Li still wants you to come over after you finish eating."
"OK."
After dinner, Wu Sicheng said, "Mo Xue, shall we go see a movie later?"
An Moxue thought about it and agreed. She could do the rest at night, so that no one would know.
"Okay, let's go to the police station first!"
When the two arrived at the police station, Director Li got straight to the point and asked, "Mo Xue, where is that mask?"
An Moxue smiled innocently and said, "Such a dangerous thing is not suitable for us to handle. I will hand it over to a more confidential department. You don't need to worry about it. Besides, this mask needs to be used with the medicine. If you don't have the medicine, the mask will be useless."
Upon hearing her words, Director Li knew he wouldn't be able to obtain the mask, so he changed the subject: "Mo Xue, what are your thoughts on this enemy agent?"
An Moxue shook her head and said, "No, but I'm sure they have a big plan."
Director Li then asked, "What about the people we arrested a few days ago? Do you have any leads?"
An Moxue said, "If it involves Mongolia, it must be mostly related to treasure. I don't know the specifics, this is just my guess. Just like the tomb raiding cases a few years ago, I think the two groups were pretty much the same."
"That's what I was thinking too. I was just hoping that you two, with your extensive knowledge, could provide some valuable information to help us solve the case as soon as possible."
"That's for sure, it's our inescapable responsibility!"
That night, the two did not return to Anle Village, but instead stayed at the guesthouse.
It was past 10 p.m. when An Moxue, dressed in black, quietly left the guesthouse.
Then she went to the police station. When she came out, it was almost midnight. She then rushed to the next location. The places she went to were mostly near the Nalan family ancestral home, or houses where she could clearly see the Nalan family ancestral home.
Only then did she realize how right she had been to be cautious. She was lucky that these people hadn't discovered her. She silently prayed, "Thank you for your protection, Ancestor!"
Without exception, all the people on these lists contracted various strange illnesses and died within a very short time. Fortunately, they were of different ages and included both men and women, which prevented them from arousing too much suspicion.
That very night, two people died in their sleep. One was alone; the doors and windows were too tightly closed, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning, and his body wasn't discovered for several days. The other suffered a heart attack and died suddenly in his sleep.
Next, she stayed in the county town for two more nights, going out after 10 p.m. each night and returning to the guesthouse before 3 p.m.
Over the course of several days, the spy in the police station was in excruciating pain, yet he had no visible injuries. The police took the opportunity to interrogate him and uncover a great deal of information. However, when they went to find his subordinates, they all seemed to have some issues, which everyone considered suspicious.
In the past few days, Wu Sicheng could clearly sense that An Moxue seemed to be very hostile. He knew that she must have gone through something again.
She didn't say anything, so he didn't ask and pretended not to know.
During the day, I would spend time with her, eating out in the county town, visiting the supply and marketing cooperative and department stores, and sometimes strolling through the small alleys of the county town.
The two of them disguised themselves and went to the black market, where they bought two ancient books. He had always known that she loved books, but he didn't know that she would collect books whenever she had the chance. After that, he had one more thing to do: collect valuable ancient books.
After finishing the personnel matters in the county town, An Moxue had more time to relax. Next, she said to Wu Sicheng, "Wu Sicheng, I have a mission to do and can't go with you. Are you going back to the village or back to the army?"
They were all people on standby to depart at any time. Wu Sicheng didn't ask any questions, assuming she had accepted a mission. He simply told her, "Be careful, take good care of yourself, and contact me when you come back next time, okay?"
An Moxue nodded, and the two parted ways.
Once outside the county town, she made a plan for the people on the list, disguised herself as a Red Guard, and disposed of them one by one, either by drugging them or by killing them suddenly. In short, she wanted to eliminate them completely. Of course, she also made a fortune in the process, but she was not happy.
Three days later, An Moxue returned to Anle Village, walking through the village and enjoying the last moments of peace and tranquility.
At Aunt Meihua's house, An Moxue took a very pretty little floral cloth and gave it to Aunt Meihua.
“Auntie, the moment I saw this piece of fabric, I knew it would be perfect for your lovely granddaughter. If you make clothes out of it, she’ll look beautiful in them.”
"Mo Xue, it's you again. You always think of your aunt when you have something good. How much is it?" Aunt Meihua was about to take out her money when An Mo Xue grabbed her hand and said, "Auntie, with our friendship, how can I not give my little niece a piece of cloth? Besides, I don't need that little bit of money."
"Okay, not bad, not bad." Aunt Meihua's wrinkles betrayed her good mood.
An Moxue did not stay at Aunt Meihua's house for long. She went to the brigade headquarters to visit the village cadres and left two packs of cigarettes.
After leaving, I turned and went to the educated youth settlement. Right at the entrance of the settlement, I said a few words to Meihua: "Meihua, you are still young. You should study more when you have time. When you went to the countryside, you had just graduated from junior high school. If you have time, you should study high school courses and take the exam to get a diploma."
“Our village cadres are very fair. Especially now that there are job openings for returning to the city and quotas for worker-peasant-soldier college students, as long as you have the ability, you will definitely be able to return to the city. The village cadres will definitely not be an obstacle for you. Be careful of the people in the educated youth settlement, or you may suffer losses.”
"Yes, Sister Moxue, I've remembered everything you said. Are you leaving?"
An Moxue smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm leaving. Live a good life."
On this day, An Moxue visited everyone in the village with whom she got along well.
In the afternoon, I went back to Old Ma's house, hugged Aunt Ma's neck, and said to her in a coquettish tone, "Auntie, I originally wanted to eat more of your cooking this time I came back, but with all sorts of things going on, I haven't been able to stay home for more than a few days. It's such a waste. Auntie, please cook me something delicious!"
Aunt Ma stroked her head affectionately, knowing she was about to leave. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Wait here. Today I'll make some crispy pancakes, slice a plate of venison, and make some crispy hazelnuts. I'll also make some tiger salad, a sauerkraut and pork bone dish. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"That's all, it's all my favorite food."
While Aunt Ma was cooking, An Moxue told Old Ma about what had happened in the past few days, as well as her plans for the future. Old Ma listened quietly, occasionally offering some advice.
After the meal, I said goodbye to Old Ma and Aunt Ma. "Uncle Ma, Aunt Ma, I'm leaving now. Please take good care of yourselves. I will return once I have cleared away all obstacles."
