She paused briefly, then turned to look at the man with a serious expression.
"So, you consider this being open and honest?"
Qin Qinghuai faced her seriously.
"nature.
I may not be very capable, and the political commissar of this regiment has the support of his family and his father and brothers. Many people say that I am a cunning fox and a black-hearted person.
But this is a life-long commitment, and you are the person I want to spend my life with.
Since joining the army, I've rarely been home. Moreover, my parents' relationship is quite casual, and my father and brother both live separately. So, I don't have much experience to draw upon. But I do know that honesty is the most basic requirement for two people living together.
It can be said that from now on we will be the two closest people in the world. Hiding things from each other and being wary of each other will only lead to many misunderstandings and conflicts between us.
Life is short, only a few decades, so of course it should go smoothly. I don't want those messy things to waste our time and energy.
That's quite honest of them.
Jian Dan lacked experience, but she was by nature straightforward and actually favored this open and honest approach, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
"What you said makes perfect sense."
"That,"
Qin Qinghuai glanced at her expression, then looked back.
"Can you tell me who these people are who are following us?"
It's not surprising that he could detect it; after all, he's a professional soldier, and this kind of crude tracking is nothing to him. It would be abnormal if he hadn't noticed it.
"The educated youth who came during the autumn harvest have been restless ever since they arrived. They are always asking about my whereabouts. I told my brother before, and he had someone check. It turns out that someone else specially delivered it to me."
Although he kept jumping around, he didn't actually do anything substantial. I was genuinely frightened at the commune that day and behaved myself for over a month, so I didn't plan to pay him any attention. But I heard he's started jumping around again these past few days, so this morning I specifically let him know that I was going up the mountain.
Sure enough, they followed.
Qin Qinghuai's eyes sharpened.
"You mean, they're also here to get a piece of the pie?"
"They're not qualified,"
Simply shake your head.
"They're just lowly pawns, and they probably don't even know what's going on. But if we deal with them, the people behind them might send more people over. So I haven't bothered with them these past few days."
See, they haven't given up yet! They even dared to follow me into the deep mountains, haha!
As she spoke, she glanced back at the receding woods and suddenly asked,
Don't you think I'm being too cruel?
Qin Qinghuai's fox-like eyes were cold and clear as he raised his voice and asked,
"What did you do? You accompanied me up the mountain and didn't see a third person at all. How can you say it was cruel?"
Besides, I know something about Brother Chao's matter. It's the most important thing right now, and we can't afford to make any mistakes. These people with ulterior motives can't be tolerated.
"I was careful going down the mountain too. If they followed quietly, the wild animals wouldn't cause them too much trouble, and they should be able to survive. I just wonder if seeing such a bloody scene will teach them a lesson and make them more restrained?"
Everyone knows that no matter how much secrecy this matter is kept, it has long become a target for those at higher levels.
Those in power naturally wouldn't allow such a situation outside their control to occur, so things have really gotten quite lively here lately, with sending people over becoming the most common method.
What Jian Dan and the others didn't know was that, apart from Liujiatun, more than two batches of educated youth had been sent to the villages in the past six months, and many of them came with ulterior motives.
In fact, they all know perfectly well that this situation cannot be completely prevented. The only thing they can do is keep such people under their noses to prevent them from infiltrating everywhere.
While they were talking, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. They quickly led the way, skipping the foot of the mountain and heading straight to their backyard along a side path. Looking over the wall, they saw that, sure enough, Little Grey and Lucky were playing happily in the backyard.
A pile of wild boar meat was stacked near the house, and the pile of food she had previously hidden by the wall, such as pet sausages, was now just scattered bits and pieces.
The landlord, Lin Dongfang, led Huizhou with a helpless expression. He was clearly the kind of person who couldn't stand what others did but couldn't do anything about it. The child didn't know his own strength and wanted to join in the fun when Lin Dongfang wasn't paying attention.
They glanced at the string of pearls in their hands, tossed it over the wall, and then the two of them, without bothering to go around in circles, simply climbed over the wall.
The sound of over two thousand pounds of things hitting the ground was quite loud. As soon as Jian Dan and his companion landed, several large animals rushed over. Lin Dongfang also led the children closer, and upon seeing the large pile on the ground, his lips twitched. He then looked at Qin Qinghuai with pity.
"You've really had quite a haul."
"Auntie, meat! Eat meat!"
The children weren't afraid at all; they came running over to watch the excitement and, incidentally, make their requests.
"Auntie, Zhouzhou wants to play with the big dog."
"Play, play, play. Your aunt will take you to play later."
Qin Qinghuai untied the rope, and Lin Dongfang took over, starting to work diligently without complaint, while grumbling all the while...
"How did you manage to collect so much all at once? There are only the two of us working today, and it'll take us until midnight to finish cleaning up these two piles."
"Let's carry one to the village, and a few to Uncle Qu's place. Let them take care of it themselves, and the rest will save us some trouble."
Seeing that Qin Qinghuai did not express any disapproval, Lin Dongfang straightened up.
"The villagers will be ecstatic. Qinghuai and I will carry it down the mountain from the back, and you can go to the village and find someone to help us."
