Li Xiyue knew that the shepherd's purse was actually shepherd's purse.
This is the first time I've heard the saying "shepherd's purse boiled with eggs is better than an elixir of immortality".
Regardless of whether it was a miracle cure or not, it was Grandma Yu's heartfelt gift to her. Li Xiyue put the egg in her pocket and joined the lively atmosphere.
On this festival passed down from ancient times, villagers gather together, singing and laughing. The fatigue of work, the trivialities of life, and the conflicts and disputes between neighbors are all forgotten at this moment. Everyone opens their hearts and laughs together.
Li Xiyue's mood rose and fell with everyone's enthusiasm. At this moment, it seemed that all her worries disappeared, leaving only the laughter and merriment before her.
But the joy was short-lived. Everyone had to go to work the next day, so they couldn't stay out too late. After a good laugh, they all dispersed and went home.
As night falls, the riverbank returns to tranquility, with only the ceaseless, ever-flowing stream.
Huang Xinrui was very excited and kept talking on and on the way back. Wang Jiaxing just stared at her and kept grinning. Li Xiyue looked at the way the two of them were getting along and wondered why she felt a little superfluous.
"Xi Yue".
Suddenly, a magnetic voice rang out. Li Xiyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and handsome man standing in the night. The moonlight shone on his face, and his eyes were filled with a gentle warmth.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Chu," Li Xiyue said, puzzled, "what brings you here?"
Chu Xun, holding a bouquet of flowers, strode over to her and handed them to her. "These are for you."
Huang Xinrui was about to go over with a smile when Wang Jiaxing pulled her away.
Li Xiyue took the flowers and saw that they were a bunch of peonies. She said happily, "These are top-quality Chinese medicines."
Chu Xun: "..."
Indeed, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, everything can be used as medicine.
"You came so late, you didn't just come to give me peonies, did you?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.
Chu Xun coughed lightly, "I also came over to talk to you about enemy spies."
"Has the investigation been completed?"
Chu Xun nodded. "Zhao Xiaoli was bribed by the Japanese when she was in the city. Her purpose was to infiltrate your side and find out about your grandfather. However, as soon as she arrived, you sent her to the cowshed, and she didn't have time to do anything."
Li Xiyue wanted to laugh. What kind of information could she possibly get from Zhao Xiaoli, who was both stupid and greedy?
"Although she didn't succeed, her identity as an enemy agent is genuine, and she has been handed over to the public security authorities."
Li Xiyue nodded and then asked, "What about that pheasant? Did he say he had any ulterior motive for inquiring about my grandfather?"
“He committed suicide,” Chu Xun said in a deep voice. “He had poison hidden between his teeth and committed suicide before the interrogation even began.”
Li Xiyue was surprised. These Japanese devils were just like those ancient assassins, committing suicide if they didn't complete their mission.
"The trail goes cold, doesn't it?" Li Xiyue frowned.
Chu Xun shook his head. "I have other clues. Don't worry, I'll find out soon."
"Okay." Li Xiyue saw that it was getting late. "You should go back now."
"Please be careful and stay in the village as much as possible. Do not go out."
He felt relatively safe as long as he stayed in the village.
"I understand." Li Xiyue waved to him and returned to the educated youth settlement with the flowers in her hands.
Chu Xun glanced at the night sky, gave a bitter smile, and walked away.
