Qian Xiaolan saw that the two books her mother sent her were read over and over again, and she could no longer hide the worry in her eyes.
She originally wanted to send some more medicinal herbs to Beijing, but now it seems that she can't do that for the time being.
The tense atmosphere on the island continued for another three days.
That night, Qian Xiaolan studied in the space for a long time. Then she remembered that it might rain tonight and the kitchen window was not closed yet, so she ran out to close it.
Just as she was about to return to her room, she suddenly heard light footsteps outside.
Qian Xiaolan paused, thinking of the tense atmosphere on the island in the past few days.
She walked over quietly and closed the kitchen door, then hid behind the door holding a wooden stick and looked out.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her home.
Suddenly, a figure climbed over the low wall of her house and landed in the yard.
Qian Xiaolan tightly gripped the wooden stick and looked at the sneaky figure coming towards her quickly, cursing in her heart.
Her whole body was tense, and when the man pushed the door open, she quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time, struck out fiercely with the stick in her hand.
“Hmm.”
The stick hit the back of the man's neck. He only had time to let out a muffled groan before falling to the ground.
Qian Xiaolan turned on the flashlight and shone it into his eyes for a while. After confirming that he was really unconscious, she tied him up with a rope and searched his body for places where he could hide anything.
The man looked ordinary and it was hard to tell whether he was a good person or a bad person, but the military area was nearby and he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, so it was obvious that he was not a good person.
Qian Xiaolan took out a stack of ten-yuan bills from his left coat pocket, about seventy or eighty yuan, and took it without hesitation.
He then took out a dagger from his right pocket. It was shining with cold light and looked very sharp. He also put it away.
Well, there was actually a powerful weapon in the pocket of his inner shirt—a small pistol.
It's obvious that this is not something their country has now.
Qian Xiaolan didn’t dare to take this, so she put it aside for now.
In the left pocket of his trousers there was a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches, and in the right pocket there were a few bills.
Qian Xiaolan was about to search further down when she heard a lot of anxious footsteps outside.
She stood up and peeked outside. Seeing a group of people in white clothes running by, she immediately shouted, "Comrades, there's something going on here!"
A small group of navy passing by outside paused, then immediately turned around and ran towards this side.
Qian Xiaolan brought them into the kitchen and pointed at the man who was tied up by her and said:
“I was halfway through my sleep when I remembered it might rain tonight and the kitchen window was still open, so I ran out to close it.
As soon as I closed the window, I saw this person sneaking over the wall and then I knocked him out. "
Wang Chao recognized Qian Xiaolan, checked the man's condition, picked up the small pistol on the ground, and asked Qian Xiaolan with a smile: "I heard from Gu Ying that your sister-in-law knows Kung Fu?"
Qian Xiaolan glanced at him and nodded: "I learned this from my adoptive father and grandfather since I was a child."
The other soldiers heard the conversation between the two and then they understood.
It turns out he has learned martial arts, no wonder he can deliver such a precise blow.
Wang Chao took a step forward and saluted Qian Xiaolan: "Hello, sister-in-law, thank you for helping me catch the spy.
However, according to the procedure, please ask your sister-in-law to come with us and make a record.
Sister-in-law, please rest assured. We won't make things difficult for you. Just explain what happened clearly."
Qian Xiaolan knew that this was a basic operation, but when she thought of what she had just looted, she felt a little painful and took out the money and dagger.
"I found this in his pocket. I'm giving it back to you."
Wang Chao glanced at the money and bills, but did not take them. He smiled and said, "Consider these money and bills as a way to calm my sister-in-law down.
The dagger is not from our country and is not suitable for my sister-in-law to use. Let's take it back first.
If you really like it, I will ask Gu Ying to get you a better one tomorrow."
Qian Xiaolan was content to be able to keep the money.
To be honest, she has no shortage of daggers.
Among the boxes she had collected in the mountains before, there was a box of various weapons, but those things were antiques and she was reluctant to use them.
Qian Xiaolan changed her clothes and went to the base with them.
At this time, Gu Yanqing had just led his men back from other islands after capturing two spies.
The two groups met at the gate of the base. Gu Yanqing's face suddenly changed when he saw Qian Xiaolan was there.
"Wife, why are you here so late? What happened?"
After saying that, regardless of the many looks, he pulled Qian Xiaolan and started to look her over.
Qian Xiaolan was more direct. She grabbed his wrist, took his pulse, and let him go only after finding out there was no problem.
Wang Chao saw this, coughed lightly, and explained: “Don’t worry, Gu Ying, my sister-in-law is fine.
She also caught the spy we had been tracking for a long time."
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Yanqing took a deep breath, then pulled Qian Xiaolan and walked towards the base.
The people behind looked at each other, smiled and followed.
Gu Yanqing placed Qian Xiaolan in an empty room, poured her some hot water, told her not to worry, and after talking to her for a while, he hurried away to take care of his work.
After tossing and turning all night, Qian Xiaolan was really sleepy. She drank two sips of water and fell asleep on the table.
When Wang Chao found time to bring people over to take Qian Xiaolan's statement, he saw that she was sleeping and he didn't have the heart to wake her up.
Just as I was thinking about whether I should come back to ask questions later, Qian Xiaolan had already woken up after hearing the noise.
This vigilance made Wang Chao sigh that this was a good candidate.
Why did you become a doctor?
Qian Xiaolan pinched her brows and asked softly, "Captain Wang, shall we start questioning now?"
Wang Chao smiled at her apologetically, pulled out the chair in front of her, sat down and began to ask questions.
Qian Xiaolan told the details of tonight twice. After Wang Chao checked and found no discrepancies, Qian Xiaolan could leave.
But it was too late now, so Wang Chao asked her to continue resting here while he went to see if Gu Yanqing was feeling better.
Qian Xiaolan had just dozed off for a while and was no longer sleepy. She wanted to go out for a walk, but she was worried that she couldn't move around the military stronghold.
She had no choice but to calm down and continue to close her eyes to rest, but in fact her consciousness sank into space and she opened her notebook to watch medical videos.
When Gu Yanqing finished his business and rushed over, he saw her sleeping on the table and felt heartbroken.
He didn't even wake Qian Xiaolan up. He walked over quietly, picked her up, and went to his single dormitory.
When he met someone on the road who wanted to say hello, he just gave them a look and the other person didn't dare to speak again.
After this night, Gu Yanqing's reputation for doting on his wife spread throughout the base.
This made a woman in the art troupe extremely angry. She tried every possible means to meet Qian Xiaolan, but she never found a chance.
Until one day, when she finally saw someone, she wished she could just jump into the sea and swim away.
At this moment, when Qian Xiaolan heard the footsteps, she knew that it was Gu Yanqing who came after finishing his work.
She wanted to tease him, so she didn't open her eyes, but unexpectedly the man picked her up without saying a word.
She only remembered that she curled the corners of her lips, hugged the man's waist tightly, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already daybreak.
There was no one around her. She was listening to the loud slogans outside and slapping her forehead in frustration.
