Suddenly, a burst of intense gunfire was heard, and Cheng Jingmo was stunned for a moment.
Because there were no signs of bullet damage around him.
Then there were shouts of "Don't move! Put your hands up!"
Hearing these voices, Cheng Jingmo's eyes suddenly became hot.
He finally got support!
He looked up, his eyes still fixed on the roof. He took his hands off his waist and pressed the corners of his eyes.
Then he slowly walked to the door and leaned out tentatively.
There was no gunfire.
He straightened his back and walked out, a submachine gun in his hand.
What caught my eye was a group of comrades pointing their guns at criminals, who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Deputy Captain Cheng, thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Guofa walked forward and saluted.
Cheng Jingmo replied, "Deputy Commander Lu, it's a good thing you arrived in time."
The remaining criminals were all arrested and the criminal evidence was seized.
When Cheng Jingmo met Yu Xiangyang, his legs were wrapped in gauze and bleeding.
"How did it happen?" Cheng Jingmo asked.
"We were hit by a stray bullet while evacuating," Yu Xiangyang cursed angrily. "We've been through strong winds and high waves, but we capsized in a ditch!"
Cheng Jingmo said, "I saw you running so fast that I couldn't tell you were injured at all."
"I'm holding it in!" Yu Xiangyang said, "I was planning to take these people to a safe place and then rescue you!"
Cheng Jingmo: “…”
Yu Xiangyang still saw what he was thinking!
The return trip was quite a big deal.
The criminals were tied together, and Yu Xiangyang and Zhu Xiaohu were carried down the mountain in a makeshift sedan chair.
It took two days and two nights to get down the mountain.
Also arrested this time were seven spies scattered across the foot of the mountain, four of whom were elderly women.
Cheng Jingmo muttered to himself that he had just fallen into misfortune. He never expected that these old women in their seventies would be his spies.
On the day Cheng Jingmo and his companions left the mountain, Yu Xiangnian learned about their situation from Yu Jiashun.
"He's injured and needs to be treated locally. He probably won't be back for ten days."
Yu Xiangnian's heart finally settled down!
She couldn't wait to tell Xiaojie the good news.
Xiaojie has started school and is conscientiously reviewing what he learned today.
He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Aunt, my uncle has been in the mountains for so long, I wonder if he has ever seen the old witch you're talking about?"
Yu Xiangnian wanted to laugh. How could this kid have such wild and imaginative thinking!
"When he comes back, ask him." Yu Xiangnian said, "Maybe he has seen a goblin!"
"Then I have to study quickly so that I can listen to his stories when he comes back!" Xiaojie said happily.
That day, Yu Xiangnian went into the city to buy something and went to the post office to remit thirty yuan to Cheng Jingmo's hometown.
It has been almost a month since the last money was transferred, and Cheng Jingmo and the others probably won’t be back for another week.
When he comes back, he will be busy dealing with this matter, and it will definitely take a few days before he can remit the money.
In order to prevent his family from worrying about him again, Yu Xiangnian remitted the money while going to the city today.
She was too lazy to cook, so she went to a state-owned restaurant and bought some food to bring back and eat with Xiaojie.
When I got home, opened the door, and stepped into the house, I stopped.
Cheng Jingmo was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with the hem of his shirt tucked into his pants, and he had a slender figure.
He just stood there, looking at Yu Xiangnian and smiling.
Yu Xiangnian originally thought that when he saw Cheng Jingmo, he would be covered in dust, with a scruffy beard, and look haggard, like a savage.
Unexpectedly, he was clean and tidy from head to toe, even his hair was cut as short as usual.
"Yu Xiangnian, I'm back." His voice was as deep and magnetic as ever.
Yu Xiangnian suddenly felt a pang of pain in his nose and his eyes turned red.
This is the eighty-third day since Cheng Jingmo left home, and he finally returned.
It seemed like nothing had changed since the day he left, yet it also seemed like something had changed.
Cheng Jingmo has lost weight, even his eye sockets are sunken, he is not as handsome as he was that day!
Seeing Yu Xiangnian’s red eyes, Cheng Jingmo hurried forward and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry for making you worry!" He spoke in a gentle voice.
Yu Xiangnian sniffed and said, "Why are you back now? Isn't it still more than a week away?"
Cheng Jingmo said implicitly: "I want to come back as soon as possible."
Originally, Yu Xiangyang's leg was injured and he needed more than a week to recuperate before he could return.
But Cheng Jingmo missed Yu Xiangnian so much that he suggested that Yu Xiangyang stay behind to take care of her while he returned first.
Yu Xiangyang scolded him for being heartless and followed him back.
His leg injury didn't hurt the bone, the bullet just grazed it, so he can go home and recuperate.
"Where are you hurt?" Yu Xiangnian asked, looking him up and down.
"I wasn't injured. It was Yu Xiangyang who injured his leg. It wasn't serious, and he's gone home."
The two were speechless again, just looking at each other, with unknown emotions in their eyes.
After a long while, Cheng Jingmo opened his thin lips and said, "Yu Xiangnian..."
"Um?"
Cheng Jingmo hesitated to speak.
Yu Xiangnian asked knowingly, "Do you miss me?"
"I do." Cheng Jingmo answered straightforwardly.
"But I don't miss you." Yu Xiangnian raised her eyebrows, took Cheng Jingmo's hand on her shoulder, and walked into the house.
"I didn't know you were coming back today, so I bought food for Xiaojie and me."
Cheng Jingmo sneered and followed him in. "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
Xiaojie has been pestering Cheng Jingmo since he came home from school.
Care about Cheng Jingmo this and that.
After expressing his concern, he began to talk about what happened during the time when Cheng Jingmo was away.
First, he took Cheng Jingmo to visit the chickens he raised.
Cheng Jingmo saw the two chicks as soon as he got home. Now he looked at them again and praised Xiaojie for being so awesome.
Then, Xiaojie took Cheng Jingmo to visit the washing machine and taught him how to use it.
Cheng Jingmo sneered at himself in his heart, thinking that he had worried for nothing. He should have believed that Yu Xiangnian would never treat him unfairly.
Seeing that the family life was in order during his absence, he felt complicated.
On the one hand, I am happy that Xiang Nian is leading a good life with Xiao Jie, but on the other hand, I am sad because it doesn’t make much difference whether he is in this family or not.
Xiaojie kept talking until it was dark.
Yu Xiangnian took a shower and when he returned to the bedroom, he passed by the two of them and glanced at Cheng Jingmo.
Cheng Jingmo happened to look at her, and their eyes met, with undercurrents surging.
Yu Xiangnian was the first to withdraw his gaze and enter the bedroom.
Cheng Jingmo listened to Xiaojie's speech absent-mindedly, and looked towards Yu Xiangnian's bedroom from time to time.
Yu Xiangnian is working.
Yu Xiangnian is reading a book.
Yu Xiangnian closed the door and went to sleep.
Finally, Cheng Jingmo couldn't help it and said to Xiaojie, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's late. Go to bed first."
