Because there were fish in the lake, Li Shaozhong and his friends were very interested and went to dig holes in the ice to catch fish. However, the fish were not so easy to catch now.
Ye Shuning made fish soup and grilled fish for everyone at noon, and everyone had a full meal.
In the afternoon, everyone gathered together to drink water. They boiled the water, let it cool, and then poured it into buckets. In the desert, we had to be careful about everything, especially avoiding illness, so we didn't drink the raw water.
Ye Shuning would take advantage of her free time to skate on the lake ice, actually using her mental power to catch fish. However, she had carefully measured that her mental power could only last for half an hour, and it took at least two hours to recover.
Although it was only half an hour, Ye Shuning was already very satisfied. With this plug-in, many things became much easier.
Ye Shuning put the black crystal back into its original stone box and placed it in a safe in her laboratory.
As for the live fish she caught, she placed them in the fountain in front of the institute's office building. There was plenty of water in the fountain, perfect for raising fish.
Although there were a lot of fish, none of them were dead, so she would have fresh fish to eat in the future.
After a day of rest, everyone set off back the next day. On the way, the brothers Li Shaoyang and Li Shaozhong took good care of Ye Shuning.
Li Shaoyang secretly told Ye Shuning not to take out anything from her backpack. Ye Shuning understood and never took out any food again.
The return trip would be much faster with a car, and even faster once we got out of the desert and onto the road.
Knowing that Li Shaozhong was very busy at work, Li Shaoyang said to him when they arrived in a small town, "Shaozhong, you're so busy at work, so don't come back with me. But you have to go back to see your parents. They must be worried sick this time. I don't have time to go back, so please go back to see them for me. It will also put their minds at ease."
Li Shaozhong also knew that his schedule was tight, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's split up here. I'll go back to Kyoto to see my parents and then go back to work."
He turned to look at Ye Shuning and asked, "Xiao Ning, what about you? Why don't you come with me?"
Li Shaoyang frowned when he heard this. He wanted to send Ye Shuning back personally, but he really didn't have time.
Ye Shuning didn't want to trouble Li Shaoyang, and even less wanted to follow Li Shaozhong to Kyoto, so she said, "I can go back to Fengyang Village by myself. There's no need to trouble Comrade Li. You can go back to Kyoto by yourself."
Li Shaozhong heard Ye Shuning address him and said, "Just like my second brother, you can call me Third Brother from now on. Calling me Comrade Li is too formal. You are our Li family's great benefactor."
Ye Shuning readily agreed, "Okay, then I won't be polite, Third Brother Li."
Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "That's right. I'm worried about you going back alone. Let's go to Kyoto to meet my parents and then return to S Province. It won't take long."
He turned to his second brother and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Ning is with me. I promise to send her home safely."
Li Shaoyang also knew that following his brother's advice was the best arrangement, so he sent Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning to the train station together.
Before leaving, Li Shaoyang told Ye Shuning, "I will secretly investigate your case this time. You must pay more attention to your safety in the future and always go out with others. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can write to me or call me."
Li Shaoyang had already given Ye Shuning his contact information and also asked for her address. He planned to send the girl more money and tickets in the future.
It would be safer for Ye Shuning to stay in the countryside now, where she would be looked after by the Pan family. The Li family was not doing well, and neither was his situation, so it would be unsafe for Ye Shuning to be with him.
When the situation stabilizes in the future, he will find a way to find a job for the girl in the city, or move her to a place near him so that it will be convenient to take care of her.
Ye Xingguo sacrificed his life, and he had the responsibility to take care of Ye Shuning. Not to mention that Ye Shuning was his savior.
After spending some time together, Ye Shuning and Li Shaoyang became much closer. "Brother Li, don't worry, I will be careful. You should also pay attention to your safety in the future."
Looking at the little girl with clear and concerned eyes, Li Shaoyang couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but he felt reluctant to leave.
Although he and Ye Shuning had not been in contact for a long time, they had experienced life and death together, and had gone through hardships. Ye Shuning also saved his life. If it weren't for Ye Shuning, he would have died in the desert long ago.
In his mind, this kind and tenacious little girl is no longer the impression she had when she was a child. Her current beautiful image is deeply imprinted in his heart.
He thought Ye Xingguo would also be proud to have such a daughter.
Li Shaoyang instructed his brother, "Shaozhong, you are very close to Xiaoning, so you should take good care of her in the future."
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Don't worry, second brother. I will visit Xiao Ning often."
Li Shaoyang borrowed money from his teammates and bought a lot of food for Ye Shuning at the department store. This was all he could do for the time being.
After asking Ye Shuning to pack up the things they bought, Li Shaoyang had no time to delay any longer. At the urging of his teammates, he had to get in the car and leave.
Li Shaozhong was afraid that the Pan family in Fengyang Village would worry, so he found the post office and sent them a telegram first, telling them that Ye Shuning was safe and would be home soon, so they could rest assured.
Ye Shuning originally wanted to persuade Li Shaozhong again to let her go back to S Province by herself, but Li Shaozhong was worried and insisted on taking her back to Kyoto with him.
Then Li Shaozhong bought a train ticket to Kyoto and took Ye Shuning to a state-owned restaurant for a meal. He also packed a dozen meat buns to eat on the train.
After a long journey, they finally arrived in Kyoto, and Li Shaozhong took Ye Shuning directly home.
At this time, Li's parents had received the news that Li Shaoyang had returned safely to the army. The couple finally put their worries to rest.
Li Jianye was really surprised when he heard his second son call and say that it was Ye Xingguo's daughter who saved him.
He had also heard his second son's story about the little girl's plight and felt truly sorry for her. Now she had no home to return to, forced to wander in a foreign land. Fortunately, the little girl had settled in Fengyang Village and was cared for by the Pan family.
The Li family lived in the military compound. When Ye Shuning saw Li Shaozhong leading her to a two-story building, she knew that the Li family had a high family background and status.
The Li family was also introduced in that period novel. Except for the second son, Li Shaoyang, who died at a young age, the other two sons all achieved great success. Their fathers were even more prominent.
It seems that his status is not ordinary. Otherwise, how could he live in a small building in this military compound? This is also a symbol of status. Only those who have reached a certain level are qualified to live in such a house.
But none of this mattered to her. She just wanted to get back to Fengyang Village as soon as possible. The vegetable planting season had already passed, but she was still anxious to go back and plant some. Without the vegetables grown in her own yard as a cover, how could she get the vegetables from the research institute? This was a big deal.
