Chapter 34: Xu Yancheng comes to pick me up in person!
Zhu Yaoyao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stomped his brand new pair of lambskin shoes on the carriage floor with a loud bang, which made the melon seeds on the small table jump twice.
Her voice was sharp and tearful: "You! You are mistreating me! This is too much!"
Ruan Anan didn't say anything else. She just stretched her neck and shouted at the door of the soft seat compartment, "Captain Pan!"
"Peel it! Can't I peel it?"
Zhu Yaoyao wilted instantly like a chicken with its neck pinched.
She sat down heavily next to Ruan Anan, grabbed the bag of melon seeds thrown to her, and started peeling them as if to vent her anger.
While Zhu Yaoyao was peeling melon seeds angrily, Gao Ruoyun leaned over to Ruan Anan and asked in a low voice, "Sister Anan, that was a real achievement! Are you really going to just give it to those people for nothing?"
Ruan Anan tore off a piece of roasted chicken thigh and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about his image. He chewed it until his mouth was filled with delicious flavor. Then he muttered vaguely, "What if they don't give it to me? People in their business have complicated and intertwined forces behind them. Do you think that arresting those bald guys in the car will eradicate them completely? If we show our faces and people hate us, will this little credit be enough to buy our lives?"
Gao Ruoyun gasped, "Oh my God... I never expected this!"
Her eyes widened as she looked at Ruan Anan with disbelief. "Sister Anan, you're truly amazing! It's only been two hours since I've known you, right? And you've already saved me... three times?"
She leaned in close, her voice thick with mystery and seriousness, "Are you the rescuer sent by my ancestors? Did my ancestral tablets appear and invite you to save me?"
Ruan Anan's mouth twitched. Listening to these words...
Why does it sound so much like "Are you a funny guy hired by the monkey?"
Is this Gao Ruoyun the reincarnation of the founder of the "abstract school"?
Every sentence is a hit!
Could it be that I, a moth, just flapped my wings.
The original story about a sweet wife was directly turned into the set of Happy Comedians?
Zhu Yaoyao watched them chatting and laughing as if no one was around. The fear he had just felt was suppressed by a surge of evil fire, and he couldn't help but interrupt in a sarcastic tone.
"After all this commotion, are you guys afraid too? I'm not afraid of even the king of heaven!"
"Swish—"
A dagger was pressed against Zhu Yaoyao's neck without warning.
The one holding the knife was Ruan Anan.
In her other hand, she was still holding the half-eaten chicken leg firmly.
In the cold winter, Zhu Yaoyao was suddenly frightened and broke out in a sweat.
"You...what do you want to do? How dare you kill someone in broad daylight?!"
Ruan Anan took a slow bite of the chicken leg, but the strength in her hands increased a bit. "If you want to live, don't reveal a single word."
Her eyes were cold, with the ruthlessness of a desperado: "Keep your mouth shut. I can pretend I didn't hear anything about what happened between you and Xu Yancheng. If you don't know what's best for you..."
"Because of those provocative words you said on the train today, I'm writing a letter of denunciation and sending it to your military district. Guess what punishment they'll give you? Hooliganism? Or disrupting a military marriage?"
Gao Ruoyun looked at Ruan Anan with stars in her eyes. "Wow! Sister Anan! You are so handsome! This is what the reincarnation of Hua Mulan looks like!"
The resentment in Zhu Yaoyao's eyes almost overflowed, but the chill of the knife on her neck made her dare not say a single "no". She could only tremble and agree: "I know...I know!"
"That's good."
Ruan Anan praised, and with a flip of her wrist, the dagger slid deftly back into her woolen bag.
Zhu Yaoyao was still in shock and could only whisper, "Ruan Anan, what's the point of scaring me? There are so many admirers in the military region who are obsessed with Captain Xu! Can you shut them all up?"
"Stop talking nonsense and peel your melon seeds!"
Ruan Anan didn't even raise her eyelids and pushed the bag of melon seeds towards her again.
Gao Ruoyun was a little worried: "An An, your Captain Xu is so easy to attract flies, he is definitely not a good match. Are you sure you want to spend your whole life with him?"
"How about, when we get to Nansha Island, we can file for divorce?"
She patted her chest and said proudly, "Don't worry! I'll have my uncle introduce you to someone better when the time comes! He's a hundred times better than that Xu Yancheng! Let him and his flies rot in the stinking ditch!"
"Tsk!" Zhu Yaoyao didn't dare to provoke Ruan Anan, but he was not so polite to Gao Ruoyun.
She rolled her eyes, her tone full of contempt, "Oh, that's easy for you to say! You're looking for someone better than Xu Yancheng? Who do you think your uncle is? The Dragon King of the Sea?"
"Xu Yancheng! A 27-year-old regimental commander! The first since the founding of the country! Your uncle? Humph, he's just a fisherman, right? Who could he possibly know? You're bragging like that, and you're not afraid of getting your tongue tangled!"
Ruan Anan tilted her head impatiently and looked at Zhu Yaoyao. "As the old saying goes, 'The villain dies because he talks too much.' If you can't control your big mouth, I'll help you control it!"
"Hmph!" Zhu Yaoyao's face turned red from choking. He turned his head away fiercely and finally shut up completely.
This was the first time Gao Ruoyun had seen such a short-sighted and snobby person who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak!
However, she had already begun to imagine that when she arrived at Nansha Island, she would find out who her uncle was...
What kind of colorful expressions will appear on Zhu Yaoyao's rouge-painted face?
It's quite interesting just thinking about it.
By 2025, it will only take one hour to fly from Hai City to Min City.
But this was 1970!
This "long-distance" train is really "long"!
It took five hours to change the locomotive halfway.
Stop and give way to other cars for eight hours.
There are stations of all sizes, wasted time at stops, and all kinds of unexpected events.
For more than half of the sixty-hour journey, the train seemed to be stuck and did not move at all.
After finally arriving at the station, Ruan Anan felt pain all over his bones.
Fortunately, it's a soft seat! If it were a hard seat...
Ruan Anan shuddered and couldn't even bear to think about it.
However, the suffering is far from over.
What awaited her ahead was a twelve-hour bus ride that would shake a person's internal organs to pieces.
Plus eight hours on a bile-inducing ferry.
Oh, heaven! Oh, earth!
Why can’t she enable the “somersault cloud” function in her precious space?
With one somersault, he jumped ten thousand miles and landed directly in front of Xu Yancheng with a "whoosh". How easy!
"An An! An An!"
Gao Ruoyun was carrying a half-worn wicker box with a look of gloating excitement on her face.
"Look! Zhu Yaoyao went to the post office! I didn't expect her to be so quick with money!"
Ruan Anan followed her gaze.
I saw a figure in a red tweed jacket walking in the distance with such momentum that he seemed to want to crush the floor tiles.
She couldn't help but curl her lips. "It's just bluffing. Remember what I said, a dog that bites doesn't make a sound. Be careful when you get to the island. The conditions there are tough, and there's a lot of intrigue and backstabbing for a bite to eat and a piece of clothing. You're so stupid, don't sell yourself out and then help them count the money."
Gao Ruoyun nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, An An! I know. By the way, I'm going to stay at the military district guesthouse later. I'm sure you will too, right?"
"Yeah." Ruan Anan responded casually. The ship to Nansha Island only runs once every two weeks, and if there is wind and waves, it is not certain when it will depart.
It’s difficult to get off the island once you’re on it.
She had to take this opportunity to take out the things in the space and sell them.
While thinking, she and Gao Ruoyun dragged their luggage and followed the crowd out of the train station.
No one noticed the army green jeep parked quietly next to the exit.
The passenger window was rolled down a little, revealing a profile with cold, sharp lines and distinct contours.
The man was wearing a neat military uniform, and the stars on his epaulettes made him look even more unattainable in the gray sky.
His deep gaze penetrated the noisy crowd and accurately locked onto the figure wearing an old gray headscarf that had been washed so much that it looked pale. The corners of his tightly pursed lips twitched upwards almost imperceptibly.
"She's here!"
