Ji Qingwan's eyelids twitched, but she quickly calmed down.
Luo Ankang patted Ji Qingwan's face and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You know the situation in the village best. Starting from tonight, you have to help keep watch every night. If there are any special circumstances, you should deal with them first to buy us some time."
Ji Qingwan nodded: "Don't worry, I've been here for a long time and I'm as familiar with it as if I were born and raised here."
The dilapidated temple was filled with laughter for a moment.
No one wanted to catch up on sleep. The thought of working hard in the evening filled them all with energy.
You have to know that those were porcelains that could be sold at sky-high prices. Once they were successfully transported back to the country, they couldn't even imagine what kind of rewards they would receive.
As it got dark, more and more people gathered here.
At this time, Baiyun Village had already gathered a group of soldiers wearing old clothes and disguised as villagers.
Xie Yanbei and Sun Aiguo informed the soldiers of the specific situation, and soon the village propaganda department's loudspeaker started playing.
"Everyone, please gather at the dam. We're going to be giving a presentation. Please let each other know when you hear about it and come as soon as possible!"
The loudspeaker was still playing, and Xie Yanbei, Sun Aiguo and others took advantage of the noise and led a large group to the back mountain.
When Ji Qingzhou arrived, Xie Yanbei had already set up an ambush with his men halfway.
She glanced at the sky and was still a little worried.
"Ayan, those people are cunning, will they see through our plan..."
Xie Yanbei knew that she was worried and patted her shoulder gently.
"Don't worry, with so many of us, there's no way they'll get away. If they show up today, they'll be apprehended."
Also coming with him was Xie Yanbei's best friend and partner in the army, Shen Huaizhi.
The man had just dug a pit with his men and had found the best shooting spot not far away. The enemy spies' paths up and down the mountain were all within the shooting range.
"Now that I see your leg is truly healed, I can finally report this to the Chief of Staff. When I came here this time, the old man also told me to make sure I understand your current condition. Everyone is waiting for you to return to the army as soon as possible."
Ji Qingzhou stood beside Xie Yanbei and smiled in return.
Shen Huaizhi glanced at her and felt strange, as if he knew this girl.
But since he joined the army, he basically never goes out and has few opportunities to make friends.
Xie Yanbei lowered his head and glanced at his legs.
He originally had no hope. If it weren't for Ji Qingzhou, he would have given up.
"I'm thinking that too, but I need to observe for two days. If there's nothing unusual, it will probably be the end of this month."
After resting at home for such a long time, he has become a little lazy. He still needs to step up his physical training after returning home.
Ji Qingzhou watched them exchange pleasantries without interrupting them. She was very happy that Xie Yanbei had someone to confide in.
"There's been no news from you for such a long time. The old man and the others are very worried. I heard that you didn't even say a word about something as important as getting married. You're really not considerate. Do you not consider us brothers at all?"
Xie Yanbei was complained about by others, so he held Ji Qingzhou's hand tightly, with a somewhat ostentatious smile on his face.
"Isn't it time yet? I was thinking of inviting everyone over for a drink, but I didn't expect so many things to happen at this time."
Shen Huaizhi's gaze fell on Ji Qingzhou again.
That familiar feeling came over me again.
He still couldn't help asking, "Have we met somewhere before?"
This feeling is really hard to describe.
Xie Yanbei frowned and stood in front of Ji Qingzhou, clenching one hand into a fist and placing it on Shen Huaizhi's shoulder.
"Your way of chatting her up is really a bit old-fashioned. She has always lived in the countryside. She is an educated youth from the capital. How did you get the chance to meet?"
Knowing that Xie Yanbei had misunderstood, Shen Huai returned one of his hands.
"I thought this girl looked familiar, like one of my own daughters. What were you thinking? A brother's wife should not be bullied. No matter how despicable I am, I will never steal my brother's wife."
Xie Yanbei gave him a displeased look, and Ji Qingzhou also felt a little puzzled.
But out of courtesy I answered his question.
"I've been in school all the time. Apart from school, I'm at home. Maybe one of your friends looks similar to me."
This explanation is reasonable.
Shen Huaizhi didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Xie Yanbei: "Tsk, you watch your wife so closely, as if someone has snatched your wife away."
"Take good care of your health and return to the army as soon as possible."
Ji Qingzhou looked at the relaxed atmosphere of their conversation and had a rough idea in his mind.
It is almost certain that Xie Yanbei will return to the army.
Shen Huaizhi looked not far away and saw that the rest of the people had almost finished their arrangements.
"I'll go over and check it out. Your legs are not in good condition, so be careful with your steps."
Xie Yanbei nodded, and watched the people around him leave before he hesitated and asked Ji Qingzhou.
"What's the situation with your sister now?"
Ji Qingzhou looked at his feet and remained silent.
No answer is already the answer. Xie Yanbei showed a look of as expected and sighed.
After coming back from another inspection, Shen Huaizhi patted the dirt off his body with one hand, stood at the highest position, and sighed.
"It seems that this mission is truly a perfect match of timing, location, and people. The terrain here is particularly advantageous for us, especially this rock. It just happens to not reveal our whereabouts, but can provide us with a great degree of vision for the enemy."
Such a convenient location was specially reserved for them, as if God was helping them.
Ji Qingzhou raised his head and glanced at the sky with a guilty look.
Xie Yanbei's gaze fell on Ji Qingzhou's face, wondering what she was thinking.
But when they left, there was no such stone at this location, but it changed as soon as they arrived.
Xie Yanbei felt that he should be able to remember it correctly, but Ji Qingzhou didn't say much, so he didn't ask any more questions.
All the work was ready. It was a dark and windy night and everyone in the village was already asleep.
Cheng Kuan and Luo Ankang led two teams to meet up from the back mountain.
Following behind Luo Ankang was Ji Qingwan, who was already pretty, and the fact that there was only one girl in the group made her even more special.
Luo Ankang was aroused. He held a cigarette in his mouth and blew out smoke rings indistinctly.
"Miss Ji, we'll be rich after we finish this big job today, but you're so tired, do you want to rest together tonight? I'll treat you to a bath."
Ji Qingwan was very disgusted with this person.
Especially the way Luo Ankang looked at her revealed the greed that could not be concealed, and anyone could see the filth in her heart.
Ji Qingwan suppressed her inner discomfort and continued to move forward with the group, but she did not dare to move too far away from the main group.
"No, I have a place to rest at night. I don't want to be discovered. Otherwise, without a proper excuse, what happened today will probably be exposed."
