Chapter 87: Beautiful women will suck away men’s energy
"Oh... I knew it would be like this!"
Xiao Li sighed heavily. "The commander said the same thing. He said I was so hungry that I was dizzy, blurry-eyed, and hysterical."
"Indeed, when people are unconscious, they are prone to hallucinations."
"Your situation is nothing. Some older people would wake up from a serious illness and insist on going to Hades."
Xiao Li said in a muffled voice, "Sister-in-law is indeed a college student, she knows so much. But it just feels too real to me!"
"I was only eight years old at the time, playing hide-and-seek with the village kids. I stumbled into the depths of the old forest, inhaled the miasma, and stumbled into a foggy passage."
"Just when I thought I was lost, I saw an extremely beautiful fairy. She was the one who woke me up. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a bed in the military clinic."
He twitched his lips in self-mockery, "Now that I think about it...it was just a dream because I was too hungry."
Ruan Anan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh my, Comrade Xiao Li is pretty good! At the age of eight, he's already dreaming about a beautiful fairy?"
If this were written into a novel, wouldn't Xiao Li be the infatuated male protagonist?
That fairy is the white moonlight in his heart.
However, this matter is indeed quite weird.
At the age of eight, he could move freely in the miasma forest.
This is simply the "King of Hunters" physique gifted by God!
The ancients called this "chance". If it happened a few decades later, Xiao Li would probably be invited by the research institute to "have tea".
But she is not engaged in human research, so she went around in circles because she actually wanted to ask about something else.
"So when you catch a snake, do you always have to remove those two fangs?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Li nodded vigorously, looking matter-of-fact. "Who wouldn't be afraid of death? No matter if it's poisonous or not, if it has those two scary things, the first thing I'd do if I caught it is to cut it off cleanly. It won't harm anyone else if it's left there."
"That's right." Ruan Anan thought of the life-or-death experience of Xu Yancheng and Lu He.
Poisonous snakes suddenly appeared on the warship and bit many people, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
According to Xu Yancheng, the higher-ups treated this as an accident, so Lu He didn't hate the real murderer, but instead hated Xu Yancheng who saved him.
But according to Xiao Li, even if someone is greedy and wants to bring some "game" out to sea to satisfy their craving, the fangs will definitely be pulled out.
The appearance of a snake with venomous fangs on a warship could not be an accident.
So... someone released that snake on purpose!
Lu He also scolded her for her mean tactics?
Haha, compared to this guy, her tricks are nothing!
After a while, the two arrived in front of the military district office building.
Ruan Anan said goodbye to Xiao Li, carrying her lunch box and walked towards the floor where Xu Yancheng was as if she knew the way.
The light in the interrogation room was a little dim. Besides Xu Yancheng, there was also a comrade with an unfamiliar face taking notes.
At this time, Lu He was slumped in the interrogation chair, and the murderous look on his face that he had in the morning was no longer there.
Xu Yancheng had just closed the notebook in his hand when he looked up and saw Ruan Anan carrying a lunch box.
His stern brows softened instantly, and he said with surprise: "An An? Why are you here?"
Ruan Anan shook the thermos in her hand. "Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry! Captain Xu, I'm bringing you some 'steel'!"
After saying that, she deliberately added, "This is a snake meat feast specially prepared by Xiao Li. Want to take a break? Fill your stomach first?"
"Okay." Xu Yancheng glanced at his watch, put his notebook on the table, nodded to the comrade who was taking notes, and turned to Wu Wei, "Get Lu He something to eat too."
"Your kindness is unnecessary! I, Lu He...would rather starve to death than eat your food!"
Xu Yancheng didn't bother to care about him since he got rejected by others.
"Eat it if you want! If they starve to death, the military district can save rations and give them to those poor families."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Lu He and walked out the door with big strides.
Wu Wei was so angry when he saw Lu He's ungrateful look.
"Why are you so arrogant? Aren't you a prisoner now? You ruined our captain's wedding leave, and you're still showing off here? You might as well starve."
"Wu Wei, ignore him, come and eat with us!" Ruan Anan called out.
"Hey! Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wu Wei immediately ran over with a smile on his face, staring at the lunch box.
"Snake meat? What a good thing!"
In the 1970s, material shortages were the norm and being able to fill one's stomach was a blessing.
Meat is a real rarity!
Snake meat is a delicious dish that can improve the diet and no one will dislike it.
Xu Yancheng looked at the snake meat slices wrapped in red peppers in the lunch box, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Li is thoughtful. I know you like spicy food."
"Of course!" Ruan Anan raised her chin proudly, scooped a spoonful of snake soup and drank it, her eyes lighting up.
"Hey, you know what, it's quite fresh, no weird smell, just like fish."
"By the way, did Lu He tell you?" she asked while eating.
"I've explained." Xu Yancheng carefully picked out the thin bones from the snake meat and put them into Ruan Anan's bowl.
"But An An, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay home with you for a while. There are too many clues, and I have to verify them one by one."
Ruan Anan had anticipated this. "I understand. Then please come back home sometime. I have something for you that might come in handy at a critical moment."
"Okay." Xu Yancheng held her hand tightly, "I'll finish here today and go back."
Watching the natural warmth and tacit understanding between the two, Wu Wei, his mouth full of rice, sighed vaguely: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind! You are capable and knowledgeable, and you are nothing short of amazing to our leader. I was really blind before and misunderstood you..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Huh?" Ruan Anan's ears were very sharp, and she pretended to take away the plate of braised meat in front of Wu Wei.
"So Comrade Xiao Wu has a prejudice against me? Come on, tell me more. Only when you've explained clearly can we eat!"
"Oh, sister-in-law! No, no, no!" Wu Wei was so scared that he almost jumped up. He clasped his hands together and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Sister-in-law, you can hit me or scold me, but this meat... this meat cannot be taken away! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
He was so anxious that his face turned red. "It's because you're so eye-catching, sister-in-law! The old people in the village all say that beautiful women will suck away a man's energy, so I treated you badly at the beginning..."
Seeing that he changed "fox spirit" to a slightly more subtle word, Ruan Anan didn't bother with him anymore.
"So you're praising my good looks!" She pushed the lunch box back. "You're a good talker, kid. Eat!"
Xu Yancheng watched from the side, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
Ever since Ruan Anan came to Nansha Island, the island seems to be really different.
Xiao Li, who was always taciturn and a little gloomy, now smiled more and talked more;
Wu Wei, who usually does things in a very strict manner and is afraid of making mistakes, also dares to joke;
Even the sisters-in-law in the family compound, who were always a bit reserved, seemed to be more lively...
His An An is still the little sun that can illuminate people's hearts wherever she goes.
"Captain! Sister-in-law! Something bad has happened!"
Just as the three of them put down their bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Li's urgent shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Lu He! Lu He...he's dying!"
