Several people pried open the tin box.
There's another layer of waterproof cloth wrapped inside.
Only after tearing open the tightly wrapped waterproof cloth could one see what was inside.
"Huo Tuan, it's a telegraph machine."
Huo Cheng stood there, looking down at the telegraph machine in the iron box, a cold smile curving his lips.
"go back."
"yes."
...
When Yingyue was half asleep in the middle of the night, she vaguely felt as if someone was trying to pry open the door latch.
She sat up, wrapped in the blanket.
He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the door.
With a click, the bolt was pried open.
Is he a thief?
Yingyue got out of bed and was about to go to the door when the door was pushed open.
"Huo Cheng?"
Yingyue rubbed her eyes, and the next second, she ran towards the door.
"Huo Cheng, it's you back! I thought it was a thief and I was just about to beat him up!"
She reached out to hug Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng quickly reached out and pressed down on her arm.
"You're cold, I'm making you feel cold."
"oh."
Yingyue obediently withdrew her hand, raised her little face and looked at him with a smile, "Why are you back? Xiaoqing said that missions usually last a long time, I thought you wouldn't be back for several more days."
"Yes, this mission was completed relatively quickly."
Huo Cheng smiled, took her hand, and walked back to the bedside.
"Don't go barefoot on the floor anymore. Even if it's a wooden floor, you have to wear shoes."
"I'm happy to see you."
Yingyue was indeed very happy.
Her voice was soft and sweet.
Huo Cheng's heart softened.
He took her hand, kissed it, and said, "Yueyue, lie down in bed first, I'm going to take a shower."
He had been lying in the snow all day, and his clothes had gone bad.
Yueyue likes cleanliness, and he doesn't like going to bed looking messy.
"Would you like me to boil some water for you?"
The firefly asked.
"No need, there's hot water in the kitchen. When Yueyue lights the fireplace at night, doesn't she put a pot on top of it?"
"The water is still hot."
Huo Cheng spoke to her gently.
Yingyue nodded in agreement.
Worried that Huo Cheng might get too cold, she told him to go take a shower quickly.
Huo Cheng smiled and agreed.
He grabbed his usual shorts and vest and left the bedroom.
Yingyue went back to bed.
She not only lay on her side, but also spread out on the edge of the bed to warm the blankets for Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng washed up quickly, returning home clean and refreshed in just ten minutes.
He closed the door, and Yingyue hurriedly called him to come quickly.
The bed is warm now.
Huo Cheng's expression softened.
He came forward, and Yingyue immediately rolled inside, giving him the warm spot outside to sleep.
"Isn't it warm?"
"Um."
"Hehe, I warmed your bed for you!"
"Okay, thank you, Yueyue."
Huo Cheng lay there for a while until his body warmed up, then he reached out and pulled the little girl beside him into his arms.
He placed his large hand on her shoulder, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Was Yueyue scared when the power went out at night?"
No!
Yingyue replied with a smile, "I can still see even without electricity!"
"Yueyue is really amazing."
Huo Cheng kissed Yingyue's forehead and then told her about what happened today, or rather, yesterday.
"Old Mrs. Wu looked terrible when she died. Don't listen to the rumors that others are spreading."
"Hey, Huo Cheng, how did you know that Old Madam Wu is dead?"
Yingyue couldn't sleep, so she started talking to Huo Cheng.
"Did you not leave the island this time on your mission?"
"Um."
Huo Cheng picked out some things he could say and told Yingyue.
"Do you remember the person who pushed Zhao Gan into the sea? She was the wife of Wu Dayong, who died the day before yesterday."
"They were bought with money and betrayed their faith."
Simply put, Wu Dayong became a spy.
His contact person was none other than his wife, Zhu Guihua.
As for why Zhu Guihua pushed Zhao Gan into the sea, it was because Zhao Gan accidentally witnessed her meeting with the person who was arrested that night.
Of course, Zhao Gan was unaware of this matter.
However, it couldn't stop the other party from feeling guilty.
They were convinced that Zhao Gan must know something, and in order to avoid exposing their identities, they decided to kill him...
After listening, Yingyue nodded and didn't seem too surprised.
She had said long ago that the Wu family could not have suffered such a fate for no reason; they must have sown the seeds of their own actions before they were forced to swallow the bitter fruit.
It's a pity that the children have to bear the bitter fruit of the seeds sown by their parents.
Those children are truly pitiful.
I was born into such a family...
"Yueyue."
Huo Cheng's hand gradually felt strange. "Are you still sleepy? Do you still want to sleep?"
Yingyue glanced at him.
He shook his head in confusion.
Eyes that are too clear and innocent are often seen as a temptation to commit crimes.
Huo Cheng rolled over, trapping the person beneath him and encircling him in his arms.
She has been on the island for almost a month, and Huo Cheng has been very restrained in this regard.
Firstly, I was afraid of hurting her body; secondly, I was afraid of giving her a bad impression, which would cause her to reject intimacy with me in the future.
In about a month, the two of them did it three times.
Yingyue had no experience or common sense about this kind of thing; everything was initiated by Huo Cheng.
