Song Fang felt that the other party seemed to have discovered her, so she hurriedly hid behind a low wall.
After waiting for a while, he stuck his head out again and found that Tian Yuzhu was gone and the one-eyed dragon had gone nowhere.
"Damn it, I let you get away again!"
Thinking that she would eventually catch them, Song Fang gritted her teeth and waited and saw.
"cough!"
A sudden cough sounded behind her, which scared her so much that she almost fell to the ground. She turned around and saw that it was the one-eyed man.
The old man looked at her with a half-smile: "Captain Song, oh no, you are not a team leader anymore. What are you doing? Are you itching to do something bad every day? You are an unmarried girl, how can you be so vicious? Who would dare to marry you in the future? You don't plan to be an old maid for the rest of your life, do you?"
Song Fang was so angry that her face turned pale. "Stop cursing me, old man! Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I'll figure out what you and Tian Yuzhu are up to."
The one-eyed dragon was not anxious but amused: "You don't care, but based on your slanderous words against military wives, aren't you afraid that her husband will come to you?"
Thinking of Tian Yuzhu, that mighty soldier, Song Fang felt a little scared, but she didn't back down at all: "If you really did something, it wouldn't be called slander."
"Well, that's right. What you said reminds me that your father has bought more than one or two things from me over the years. So, according to what you said, it's speculation. It seems that this is the truth, not slander."
"you……"
Song Fang was so angry that her stomach hurt.
In fact, she also knew privately that her disappointing father had secretly bought things from the one-eyed dragon. He brought them back from the county town, and they were a few cents cheaper than those sold at Gongqiaoshe.
But if this matter is reported to the unit meeting by One-Eyed Dragon, then she, the team leader who is responsible for cracking down on speculation and profiteering, will be digging her own grave.
Song Fang didn't know what to say for a moment. The one-eyed man took two steps closer to her, lowered his voice and sneered, "Don't do things to the extreme, otherwise you will suffer retribution sooner or later. Besides, she is a soldier's wife and she is upright. If you continue to follow her like this, don't blame me for reporting your father to the town government. At worst, we will both die together. I have nothing to fear."
After the old man finished speaking, he walked away humming a tune. Song Fang gritted her teeth and stamped her feet.
I wanted to control others, but unexpectedly I was threatened by them instead. I feel so frustrated just thinking about it.
…
Tian Yuzhu returned to the mountains near the military area, went up the mountain to find the tree hole, but there was still no sign of Xiao Hei.
She suddenly felt empty and uncomfortable: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei!"
She called out several times, and her lonely voice echoed throughout the valley, making people so depressed that they wanted to cry.
Perhaps because she was worried about Shi Zhentang's safety, Tian Yuzhu felt that her emotions had never been so fragile, so she simply found an open space to sit down and close her eyes.
Take a deep breath and use meditation to calm yourself down.
She cannot collapse. She is Tian Yuzhu, a cockroach in her past and present life. Nothing can defeat her.
Suddenly, I smelled a faint medicinal fragrance in front of my nose, which seemed to be there and not there, but the fragrance was everywhere.
Tian Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face.
This is the medicinal fragrance of century-old ginseng. Ordinary ginseng does not have such a strong aroma.
She quickly followed the smell and found that a stone on the hillside had been shaken into the ravine by the earthquake, and the ginseng, which was usually difficult to find, was hidden in the gap between the stone and the soil.
Now the big rock rolled down the mountain, and the ginseng was exposed without any obstruction.
Judging from the ginseng body, it can be seen that this ginseng is at least three hundred years old. It is much better than the one dug up in the back mountain of Quanshui Village a few years ago.
It was a coincidence that Tian Yuzhu saw me here today.
She carefully dug out the ginseng with a wooden stick, wrapped it in a layer of leaves, and then carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief.
When she returned to the military tent, Wang Xiu Di and Zhao Cui were busy with the military wives!
No one asked where she had gone. Wang Xiudi told her, "The army gave us some food and asked us to steam it into steamed buns and send them to the two nearby villages. Any help is appreciated."
This was a good thing, so Tian Yuzhu naturally rushed to help.
Mixing dozens of kilograms of noodles was no joke. All the military wives were very busy and did not prepare the ingredients until around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Several large barrels were packed intact, and the soldiers drove to deliver them themselves to prevent the people from snatching them.
Wang Xiudi asked Tian Yuzhu, Zhao Cui, and several other military wives to go with her to distribute steamed buns.
Huang Xuehua and Liu Xiaohui were responsible for taking care of the children in the tent. Feng Chun was worried about Dahu and Erhu, so she didn't want to go, so she asked An Fei'er to be with her as well.
Everything was ready and they were about to get on the bus when a soldier came running over and reported, "Sister-in-law, there's news from Gayi Mountain!"
Tian Yuzhu, who was busy and sweating profusely, felt a little nervous. She had selectively forgotten everything while she was busy. Now that she heard the news, she felt even weak in the knees.
The soldier quickly said, "Don't worry, sisters-in-law, everyone in the army is fine. It's mainly because the local villagers suffered heavy casualties, so the troops have to stay there for a while to provide assistance."
Hearing that the soldiers were fine, Zhao Cui turned her head and wiped away her tears.
She has been worried all day long, and now she can't hold it in any longer and feels uncomfortable!
Tian Yuzhu stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, is Captain Shi in good health?"
The soldier quickly handed her a note: "This is the note that Political Commissar Wen asked me to give you. It contains a message from Battalion Commander Shi."
Shi Zhentang must have been worried that his wife would be concerned about his shoulder injury, so he deliberately told her in this way: "Yuzhu, my arm is fine. You should take care of yourself too. We'll see each other in a few days."
After just a few words, Tian Yuzhu's eyes became sore and tears flashed in her eyes, but she smiled: "Okay, I understand, thank you!"
She put the note into her pocket and when she looked up, she had regained her composure: "Sister-in-law, let's go!"
Without any worries, her spirits instantly improved!
Wang Xiu Di understood that feeling very well. This was how she had lived for many years.
So he patted Zhao Cui on the back and looked at Tian Yuzhu's encouraging eyes: "We are relieved that they are fine. Well done, let's go!"
The nearest small village to the military region is on the way to the county town. Tian Yuzhu and Duyanlong passed by it when they went to Awu Village.
Although it is called a village, it actually has less than twenty households and is more like a small ethnic minority tribe.
The tribe was built halfway up the mountain, and military vehicles had no way of driving up there. They had to park their vehicles on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and then everyone carried two baskets of steamed buns up the mountain together.
