The middle-aged man was still perceptive, but he wasn't as fast as Gu An'an. Before he could even spot the tree where Gu An'an was, a gust of wind rushed towards him. It was too late to dodge; he felt a sharp pain in his neck and slowly fell to the ground.
This startled the three henchmen who were diligently digging the hole, and they picked up their shovels and assumed a defensive stance.
"Who's there! Show yourself! Stop playing tricks!"
"Second brother, we won't end up like the third and fifth brothers, will we? I'm still young and don't want to die."
"That's right! Even if I'm going to die, I should at least be left with a complete corpse."
Although they didn't see the two bodies, they found torn fabric and half a leg bone during their search, so they knew exactly what had happened.
"Shut up! If it were a beast, would you have time to cry? It's definitely a human!"
As long as they are human, they are not scary. After all, they are three grown men. If they fight, they will not have no chance of winning.
Gu An'an curled her lips into a smile. She was clever enough, but not enough.
You're unlucky to have run into me.
A gust of wind blew by, rustling the leaves and making the search even more difficult.
In order to find the person as soon as possible, the three discussed and began to split up. Gu An'an had been waiting for this moment. She leaned against a big tree and listened to the footsteps. When the person found this area, she suddenly rushed out from behind the tree and chopped the other person's carotid artery with a chop.
Oh ho, another one has fallen.
The other two rushed over upon hearing the commotion, but as you can imagine, all of Gu An'an's moves were learned in the apocalypse and were all deadly techniques.
Even though these people were doing shady things, they were ultimately not as ruthless as Gu An'an, and were knocked unconscious before they could even see who it was.
Gu An'an dragged the four people together like dead dogs and tied them up. She then rummaged through her spatial storage, took out a few pills from the loot she had collected, and stuffed them into their mouths to ensure they would be unconscious for a day and a night. Only then did she put the four tied-up people into her spatial storage.
After dealing with a bunch of scumbags, Gu An'an felt much better, and she didn't care even if she didn't encounter anything good.
But it seems that's how fate works; the less you care about something, the more it gives you.
She hadn't walked a mile when her eyes were drawn to a string of crimson flowers. She immediately ran over to take a look, and the stem, the leaves, and the fruit were all so familiar.
“I must be God’s goddaughter.”
She's not my biological daughter, but I could be her goddaughter.
They took out their tools and got to work. With the experience from last time, they were much faster. Only an hour and a half had passed by the time the ginseng was completely dug out.
She planted the ginseng back in her space, thinking that she should sell one of them when the time was right, otherwise it would easily cause an overpopulation.
When she returned to the forest where she had entered the mountains, Zhou Yue and the others were still there. Their baskets, crates, and bags were almost full, a testament to their haul.
Looking at the hazel mushrooms in Gu An'an's basket and then at the ones she had picked, Zhou Yue felt that the other's mushrooms were better and plumper, and couldn't help but show a longing expression.
"We cannot enter the deep mountains."
Fearing that Zhou Yue might encounter danger again, Zhao Hu has been keeping a very close eye on his new girlfriend lately. He can guess what she's thinking just by her pouting and quickly interrupts her.
"I know, I know, safety is the most important thing."
She readily agreed, but her pout was so sharp it could hang an oil lamp on it. While Zhao Hu went to get other things, she started grumbling, "Everyone says that when you're in a relationship, someone will help you, but you're still being controlled by others. You're not free at all."
"Then I'll talk to Brother Zhao and ask him to take charge of other people?" Gu An'an teased.
"no."
Fearing that Gu An'an might actually dare to speak and act, Zhou Yue immediately transformed into a kangaroo and clung to Gu An'an, saying, "I was just saying it, and you're just listening. Actually, it's quite nice to have someone keeping an eye on you."
Looking at her blushing face, Gu An'an felt that there were still many innocent people these days, and you could see a blushing face from time to time.
It's quite fresh.
"Stay away from me, you're stale and rotten from being in love."
Seeing that the two men were ready, Gu An'an started walking down the mountain. Zhou Yue followed behind, carrying a basket of hazelnuts, and said in a slightly cheeky tone, "An'an, are you envious?"
"Don't be envious. You still have Commander Xiao. I heard him this morning. He sent you something again. Did you receive a letter? What did he say? Tell me about it."
Zhou Yue was just joking at first, but seeing Gu An'an's pace getting faster and faster, she became more and more interested.
"An'an, just tell me, has Commander Xiao confessed his feelings to you? When is he coming back to see you?"
"You and Commander Xiao are both so good-looking, your child will be so adorable. How about we arrange a marriage between our future children?"
Hearing this, Gu An'an's forehead was practically covered in emojis, but who was she to be defeated by Zhou Yue?
"A childhood betrothal? Looks like you're already itching to get married and have kids. Want me to help you urge Brother Zhao on that?"
The two men walked quickly, and Zhou Yue was joking with Gu An'an again, so the two gentlemen slowed down a few steps and didn't hear what the two girls were saying.
But when Zhao Hu met Gu An'an's teasing gaze, and then looked at his partner who seemed to want to disappear into the ground, his sixth sense told him that the topic was related to him.
"Sister, you're my sister. I was wrong. I'll never joke with you again."
"Are you going to read it or not?"
Zhou Yue quickly shook her head, "I won't look. That's your privacy, An'an. I'm absolutely not curious."
"Okay, let's go."
Zhou Yue didn't cause any more trouble in the second half, but Gu An'an's mood was still affected by her words.
Did you confess your feelings?
Of course, love is evident in everything, whether it's overt or covert, even in every single word.
And what about their future children?
A baby's face, a combination of the two, appeared in Gu An'an's mind, before she quickly banished the image from her head.
Xiao Yuheng is a workaholic; he never even has time to go home. Dating, marriage, and having children? That's a long way off.
A military region in Northeast China.
Looking at the smiling regimental commander and political commissar, Xiao Yuheng felt uneasy.
"Xiao Xiao, you still haven't caught up with that girl?"
