Lu Jiansheng was relieved: "You need to be careful when collecting evidence. Don't let their false information fool you. Enemy agents love to spread false information."
There were no more clues. Zhu Fanfan said goodbye, saying she would bring them dinner that night, and ran off before they could refuse.
Old He asked uncertainly, "Is she really capable, being just a little kid?"
Lu Jiansheng was very confident: "Just wait for the good news! She is Zhu Jiabao's granddaughter."
Lunchtime is here now, and Zhu Fanfan didn't deprive herself of it. She went into the space and had a sumptuous meal with the Wolf King. She also observed the little white dog. The little white dog can now take a few wobbly steps on its own. Zhu Fanfan suspects that it was just born and doesn't know if it can survive. This little white dog is also strange. It doesn't drink milk powder and only likes to drink well water. Even if it is boiled and cooled, it doesn't want to drink it. It prefers to drink raw water. Seeing that it doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, she just lets it be.
She knew very well what was in her own space. The well water was just ordinary well water, only a little sweeter and with more minerals than regular water. Drinking it would make her feel refreshed, but it had no effect on cleansing her marrow and strengthening her meridians, nor did it enhance her internal energy. At most, it could beautify her skin.
The little white puppy was whimpering so adorably that Zhu Fanfan couldn't resist hugging and petting it. The puppy seemed to love being held by her, constantly rubbing its head against her arm. It looked like a sweet interaction between a pet owner and their beloved pet. The wolf king next to them didn't seem angry at all; it just looked at them with a mysterious expression, making Zhu Fanfan want to hit it. How dare a dog look at her like she was an idiot? How annoying!
After eating and drinking their fill, it was time to get to work. While everyone was at home, Zhu Fanfan went to the fields. During her observation, she noticed that everyone was avoiding this particular tombstone. This tombstone was the only one built in the field, and the name written on it was Yan Qing, the name of Miao Yang's grandmother's husband. However, she now suspected that there was something wrong with this tombstone.
Nowadays, in rural areas, tombstones are usually erected on mountains, rarely placed directly in the fields. Is it because the fields are already yielding too much and people are trying to clear the land? Although heroes are worthy of admiration, people clearly feel fear rather than awe towards tombstones. Everyone who looks at them has a look of terror in their eyes, as if they were some kind of venomous snake or ferocious beast.
Zhu Fanfan used her mental power to sense what was inside. She wasn't afraid even of corpses; it wasn't like she hadn't seen them before. Besides, she wasn't afraid of the living, so why would she be afraid of the dead? No one should expect her to have any sense of awe.
The spiritual energy seeped in little by little, extending downwards from the stone tombstone. The stone below was still very thick, and the spiritual energy could not penetrate it. Something was wrong here. Zhu Fanfan quickly realized that these stones could block spiritual energy. Could it be that the spiritual energy did not detect anything unusual because of these stones on the mountain?
Zhu Fanfan, refusing to believe in superstition, increased his mental energy and finally managed to penetrate a little. The area below the stone was hollow; further down, his mental energy revealed a coffin. The resistance increased further down; it was the same stone as before. Was he filling the coffin with stones? Zhu Fanfan didn't understand this operation and continued to increase his mental energy.
Upon reaching the bottom, she found a button. She first enveloped herself with her mental energy to prevent anyone from seeing her. After confirming that everything was alright, she pressed the button. The stone shook, and the space below suddenly opened up. Zhu Fanfan was startled when she looked with her mental energy. The space was filled with bare white bones, all scattered and piled up, making it impossible to distinguish which bones belonged to which body. Zhu Fanfan quickly withdrew her mental energy and then slipped away.
They arrived back on the tree on the mountain. Not long after, the captain came running over with great speed. If it weren't for his physique and demeanor, which made him look like an old man, Zhu Fanfan would have suspected that he was in disguise, as his speed didn't match his age.
He first checked his surroundings to make sure no one was around, then tapped the bottom of the tombstone. The tombstone split open, revealing the coffin underneath. He then tapped the coffin a few more times, causing the lid to separate completely, revealing a rather large stone inside. After the stone separated, there was a button. He pressed it, looked at it, and then closed the stone coffins one by one before putting the tombstone back together. He then walked away as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Fanfan's spiritual power entered the house before his, and after the captain returned, his wife asked, "What happened?"
The captain said, "I told you you were worrying unnecessarily; there's nothing wrong at all."
The brigade leader's wife was still worried: "Why don't I go check again? The tombstone couldn't have moved on its own."
The captain stopped him: "If I go first and then you go, won't that just alert the people over there?"
The captain's wife didn't say anything, then suddenly shouted, "Who's there? Come out here!"
The captain was startled and said, "What kind of coward are you? Come on over if you dare."
Zhu Fanfan was also startled. Was she really that sensitive? Grandpa was right, there were too many capable people in this world. She should not be too arrogant.
So Zhu Fanfan used his mental power to move a few bees from the space over there, and they buzzed over to sting the captain and his wife. Unexpectedly, the captain and his wife took out a few needles from their sleeves, and the bees were shot and fell silent.
The brigade leader's wife breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard an unusual rustling sound in the leaves just now, and I thought someone was coming. I didn't expect it to be just a few bees."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Her mental energy hit the tree?
The captain also believed it without a doubt, and said, "It's good that you're alright."
The captain's wife smiled but didn't say anything. "Fool, how could he believe that?" She glanced at the tree; there was nothing there. It seemed to be someone with animal-controlling abilities. She wondered which side they were on; she needed to be prepared.
Zhu Fanfan felt a sense of crisis. In the past, she had encountered too many weak people, so she thought she was very strong and became arrogant. She had to reflect on herself and make sure she didn't slack off. She had to work hard to excel in every aspect. Now that she had lost her medical skills, she couldn't afford to lose her martial arts and mental strength as well.
She happened to be on the mountain, so she could explore to see if there were any secret rooms. She trusted the intuition and observation skills of the older generation, as these were experiences accumulated by them over countless lives. If she hadn't found anything, it must be because of her lack of ability.
Focusing her mental energy on exploration, Zhu Fanfan indeed discovered something amiss: there were stones below, blocking her mental energy. She could only intensify her mental exploration, determined to thoroughly investigate what these stones were after everything was over. As her mental energy penetrated, she saw many familiar things: an operating room, a pharmacy, and even the kind of vacuum protective suits used to prevent bacterial infections seen on television in later years. Zhu Fanfan's heart sank; they were clearly still in use. Conducting experiments in a densely populated village—they were incredibly audacious.
