Although the kick was not very powerful, Lu Cheng still took a few steps back. After he stood firm, he raised his hands with a smile and said, "I admit defeat, Yuexi, your kung fu really convinced me."
Lin Yuexi stopped her moves, with a triumphant smile on her face, she walked to Lu Cheng and asked with concern: "Is it okay to hurt you?"
Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect you to be so capable. You can even become a female soldier..."
At this time, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun ran over cheering and hugged Lin Yuexi: "Mom, you are so awesome! You are simply a superhero!"
Lin Yuexi smiled and touched their heads: "Since my kung fu is so good, do you want to learn from me seriously?"
"Mom, learn! You must learn..." Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun said in unison.
Zhao Gang also came over and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder, "Brother, you have married a treasure..."
Lu Cheng pretended to sigh helplessly, but his face was full of pride that he couldn't hide: "Yeah, I have to be careful at home from now on, otherwise it will be embarrassing if my wife throws me over her shoulder one day."
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhao Gang looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, almost ten o'clock, so he said goodbye and left.
Only then did Lin Yuexi remember to send dumplings to Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun.
But with Zhao Gang's sudden arrival, all the steamed dumplings were eaten, so Lin Yuexi had to ask Lu Cheng to light the fire and steam the dumplings and buns again.
An hour later, the dumplings and steamed buns were all steamed!
Lin Yuexi took out the food box, put them in the basket, and was about to go to the cowshed through the back door and over the mountain.
Lu Cheng wanted to accompany her, but suddenly remembered that he had just been defeated by Lin Yuexi?
Lu Cheng took back the foot he had just taken, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Well, your kung fu is better than mine, and crossing mountains and ridges is definitely not a problem for you. I won't get involved, just be careful."
Lin Yuexi rolled her eyes at him, but a smile hung on her lips: "I know, you just need to take good care of Ziyan and Xiyun at home."
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling over the mountains and forests. Lin Yuexi, carrying a basket with a food box on her back, nimbly climbed over the back door and set foot on the rugged mountain road leading to the cowshed.
The moonlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Her steps were light, not affected at all by the difficult mountain road.
In the cowshed, Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun were talking in low voices under the dim light. The hardships of these days had exhausted them physically and mentally, but the hope in their eyes had never been extinguished.
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps was heard, and Zhou Ruiyuan stood up vigilantly, ready to deal with possible trouble.
"Brother Zhou, Sister Qiao Yun." Lin Yuexi called softly, her voice was particularly clear in the silent night.
"Yuexi?" Zhou Ruiyuan was surprised and happy, and hurriedly opened the door of the cowshed.
Lin Yuexi walked into the cowshed, placed the food box on a wooden board beside her, opened the lid, and hot steam instantly filled the air.
"Hurry up and eat these freshly steamed dumplings and steamed buns."
Lin Qiaoyun's eyes were red, and she held Lin Yuexi's hand: "Yuexi, why are you still thinking about us? It's not easy."
Lin Yuexi smiled and comforted them: "You are all people who contribute to the country, how can I just ignore you?"
Zhou Ruiyuan sighed after hearing this, "Yuexi, given our current situation, can we still wait until the day when we can contribute to the country?"
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi comforted him, "Yes, as long as you take care of yourself and stick with it, you will..."
"Old Zhou, Yuexi is right. We must persevere and not let Yuexi down..." Lin Qiaoyun echoed.
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded upon seeing this.
The three chatted for a while, and when Lin Yuexi saw that they had finished eating, she secretly filled their thermos with spiritual spring water, and then she stood up and said goodbye. "Brother, sister, I have to go back. Take care of yourselves. I will come to see you in a few days."
When Zhou Ruiyuan saw Lin Yuexi was about to leave, he quickly said wait a moment.
Lin Yuexi stopped walking again. Zhou Ruiyuan took out a very old notebook from the crossbar of the cowshed and handed it to Lin Yuexi, saying, "This is the academic result of my research. They have come to search for it many times, and I have hidden it in many places. I am worried that they will find it next time they come.
Yuexi, I give this to you. If I can return to Beijing alive, you will return it to its original owner. If I die, you will help me hand it over to the country!"
After hearing this, Lin Yuexi quickly took the diary and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I swear on my life that I will keep it well for you, and I will definitely hand it over to you again..."
Zhou Ruiyuan waved his hand, "Yuexi, it's already late, you should go back quickly! Otherwise, people will find out that you are too close to us and cause trouble."
After hearing this, Lin Yuexi turned around and left, and quickly put the old notebook into the study in the space.
But just after she finished doing all this, she heard footsteps behind her.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly hid behind a big tree. In the moonlight, she saw several dark figures walking towards the cowshed.
"Why would someone go to the cowshed in the middle of the night?" Lin Yuexi frowned, feeling a bad premonition. She decided to quietly follow them and make sure nothing happened to Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun.
Lin Yuexi followed the black figures carefully until they arrived in front of the cowshed. One of them whispered, "I heard that there is something important hidden here. We must search it out today."
Lin Yuexi was shocked. It seemed that these people were coming for Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun. They were probably here to look for so-called "evidence" in order to further persecute them.
However, Zhou Ruiyuan had just handed the old diary to her, so it should be safe. But Lin Yuexi was still a little worried, afraid that they would do something to Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun, so she was more cautious and kept it.
Lin Yuexi crouched and followed closely behind the dark shadows. The moonlight stretched her shadow long and slanted, but she cleverly hid it among the shadows of the trees.
Her heartbeat quickened slightly, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring intently at the movement ahead.
The dark shadows came to the cowshed and without any hesitation, they violently broke open the door.
The "bang bang" sounds were particularly harsh in the quiet night, startling the birds in the nearby trees and making them flap their wings and fly away.
"What do you want to do here in the middle of the night?" Zhou Ruiyuan's angry voice came out.
Lin Yuexi's heart suddenly tightened, and she wanted to rush in immediately, but reason told her that rash action at this moment would only make the situation worse.
She resisted the urge and slowly approached the cowshed, finding a position where she could see the situation inside clearly but was not easily discovered.
With the dim light in the cowshed, Lin Yuexi saw four strange men standing inside. They were wearing green clothes and had a chilling indifference on their faces.
