Facing everyone's grateful gazes, Chu Xi quickly and calmly began to eat. He had to admit, the chef's cooking skills in this military camp were quite good, only slightly inferior to his own...
After dinner, the three of them came to Shi Peng's temporary dormitory. Although he was only the captain of the special service team, he had also reached the rank of battalion commander, so the regiment specially allocated a single room for him.
Chu Xi looked around and found the room quite nice, in the usual military style, quite neat and simple.
There was a wooden bed at the entrance, and the quilt on it was still folded like a tofu block.
There is a set of desks and chairs, a filing cabinet next to it, and a clothes hanger behind the door with two sets of green military uniforms hanging on them.
Looking at the pure white sheets on the bed that seemed to be without a single wrinkle, Chu Xi felt a little embarrassed to sit on it. She had to sit on the stool behind the desk to feel it. It was also made of pure wood and quite hard.
Looking at the documents on the table, Chu Xi stood up consciously. After hesitating for a moment, she sat on the clean white sheets. She even felt like she was going to stain the sheets, but there was nothing she could do. The child was going to take a nap, so the sheets would be messed up anyway.
Slowly coaxing Little Stone, his slowly closing eyes made his eyelashes look even longer, forming a beautiful arc.
Looking back, Shi Peng had already started processing the documents he had taken out of the locked drawer.
Chu Xi was thinking about the nightmare she had. It was almost the middle of the month in a few days, and she wondered if she really had to go out on a dangerous mission.
"..." Chu Xi discovered with embarrassment that she had never formally addressed this man.
Brother Peng? Darling? It's so affectionate, I can't bring myself to say it.
Peng? Shi Peng? Doesn't it feel a bit distant?
Husband? Darling? Hehe...
After thinking about it, I decided to just say it directly.
"Are you going out on a mission again?"
Shi Peng looked at Chu Xi in surprise. They came here to wait for orders. They would rest first and set off immediately after receiving the order.
He has been thinking about how to bring this up to her these past two days. After all, his wife has come thousands of miles to see him. If he just leaves like that, he would be really sorry to his wife.
But how did she know?
"I, I had a nightmare..." Chu Xi looked at Shi Peng cautiously.
Although he didn't believe in dreams or superstitious stories, Shi Peng was willing to listen since his wife had spoken.
"What did you dream about? Tell me." He showed an interested expression.
Chu Xi looked at his playful smile and became a little anxious.
"That's why I came to see you!"
Shi Peng was shocked. Just because he had a nightmare, his silly wife came all the way from her hometown 3,000 kilometers away with her children. Should he give her a beating? Or should he give her a beating?
The somewhat angry expression made Chu Xi angry as well. It was obvious that he still didn't believe her.
"Believe me or not, where is Youming? Take it out!" Shi Peng was obviously shocked when he heard his wife talking about Youming, because he originally thought it was just a token of love and asked him to keep it well, but it had saved his life.
While tracking down a drug lord alone, he had just obtained key evidence when he was blocked in a private house by a group of seven desperate criminals. Everyone was carrying a gun, but he only had a pistol with no bullets.
At that time, they were afraid of his skills and pistol, so they did not dare to attack by force and just surrounded the house. However, they surrounded the front side with doors and windows with six people, and left one person at the back of the empty house.
It was only after being besieged for a day that he suddenly remembered the special token of love given to him by his wife.
Looking at the cold and chilling Netherworld, he originally just wanted to slowly dig a hole out, but he just inserted it gently and it was stuck in the back wall like a fish into water.
In excitement, he used the dagger to cut a hole in the wall without making any sound, allowing him to pass through, leaving only a thin layer on the surface.
He gathered his strength and found the right opportunity. The moment he heard the desperado passing by again behind the house, he kicked the wall open, slit the man's neck in front of his astonished expression, and then escaped from there.
Later, he carefully studied the characteristics of the Netherworld, which was simply a magical weapon that could cut iron like mud and cut hair with a gust of wind.
Even the best steel, or the standard dagger issued by the army, could be chipped off with just a little effort by Youming. Only then did he understand the meaning of his wife's solemn instructions to keep it well. This was absolutely an unobtainable life-saving weapon.
He also always wondered where his wife got this thing. Her family background was clear, and there was nothing special or unique about it.
Now looking at the solemn and serious look on my daughter-in-law's face, is she dissatisfied?
He took out Youming from his left armpit. The black dagger still shone coldly.
But Chu Xi was a little disgusted when she saw that the place where he hid it was actually his armpit. At that time, he had said that it was a token of love. Although it was indeed easy to hide things there, coupled with the thin and short shape of Youming, it would not be easy to be discovered even if checked.
But I still feel inexplicably angry!
He gently wiped it with a piece of cloth, and his cautious expression made people easily feel the importance and care he attached to the dagger.
"Its greatest characteristic is its extreme sharpness. I'm sure you've seen that. But I don't know if you've noticed another characteristic: wounds inflicted with it will bleed profusely and temporarily paralyze the victim. Unless someone helps stop the bleeding immediately, they're likely to die from shock."
Hearing about the magic of the dagger, Shi Peng was a little surprised. How could there be such a weapon in the world? It seemed like the strange weapon used by the top assassins in the storybooks.
"I dreamed that you would definitely encounter danger on this mission, but I didn't know the location or the exact location. I only knew that you were being chased in the forest under the full moon and fell off a cliff..."
