Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 184 Bullpen Controversy

The whole day today, I was extremely nervous in order not to lose Li Jie and to prevent him from finding me.

After walking through the mountains and forests for so long, even someone as strong as Liu Jingxue felt a little tired.

After returning home, she washed her hair and took a shower first. After getting some food from the warehouse to fill her stomach, she immediately went to the alchemy room to adjust the flow of time and started practicing.

When practicing, spiritual energy circulates throughout the body and can quickly eliminate fatigue.

She had already told Tuanzi to wake her up outside at 7:30 because she was going to the cowshed.

After entering into a state of meditation, one could not feel the passage of time at all. Liu Jingxue felt that she had just closed her eyes to practice when she was awakened by Tuanzi.

At this time, all the fatigue in the body has been eliminated and the whole person feels refreshed.

After sitting in the same posture for a long time, Liu Jingxue felt a little stiff, so she quickly stood up and did some boxing to stretch her muscles.

After changing clothes, he prepared three pheasants and three domestic rabbits, carried them out of the space, and prepared to go to the cowshed.

She went to the cowshed on the night she sent the package and told them about Li Jie's incident. Since there was nothing else to do, Liu Jingxue did not go to the cowshed for the next two nights.

I followed Li Jie today and verified my guess. I have to go tell them and discuss what to do next.

Over at the cowshed, the four people had not yet rested. The eldest aunt was sewing shoe soles by the oil lamp, and the others were chatting there.

Grandpa Zou said worriedly, "Xiaoxue hasn't come over these past two days. I wonder if she followed Li Jie and if she encountered any danger?"

"The day before yesterday, the village paid its public grain bills. I went to see Xiaoxue, who was at the drying dam. She probably didn't follow the educated youth.

Yesterday, the village distributed grain, and all the villagers and educated youth stayed at home.

I don’t know about today.” Liu Weihua took small puffs of his cigarette and answered Zou’s question.

Grandpa Wu interrupted, "I made a special observation today. There was no smoke coming out of Xiaoxue's chimney at noon, which means she didn't cook.

But I don’t know whether she was not at home or simply did not cook lunch.

When it was still clear at night, I didn't see any smoke coming out of her chimney.

It was dark in the back and I couldn’t see anything, so I didn’t know if there was any smoke.”

“You two shouldn’t have let Xiaoxue follow that educated youth.

Knowing that he might have problems, you still let Xiaoxue follow him. That's just pushing Xiaoxue into the fire.

You just arranged this task for Xiaoxue while I was away.

If I were there, I would definitely stop her from following your instructions." Wang Xiulan threw her shoe soles on the table and said angrily.

"Now that you're all here, why don't you stop worrying about the country and the people and just live your own life?

It's because Xiaoxue has taken such good care of you and has planned everything for you that you have the leisure time to do this.

It's simply because there's nothing to do in this world these days, so you're too idle.

If you have the spare time, dig a few more secret cellars and chop all the firewood quickly.

If you still feel free, go to the mountains more often and bring back more mushrooms and mountain products. "

Liu Weihua coughed awkwardly twice, "Xiu Lan, now that this has happened, we can't just ignore it.

We shed so much blood to finally win, we can't let those agents and spies come and sabotage us.

Otherwise, how can we be worthy of those comrades who sacrificed their lives? "

Wang Xiulan moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but held back.

Even if she was unhappy that the two men had put Xiaoxue in danger, she couldn't say anything bad.

Besides, Wei Hua is right. We cannot allow those dog spies and secret agents to destroy our hard-earned territory.

Finally, Wang Xiulan couldn't help herself and retorted, "Even if we want to catch spies, there's no need to let Xiaoxue go.

Even though she was more capable, she was still just a young girl after all and had not received any professional training, so she couldn't defeat those people.

Wouldn't it be better to report this matter to the higher authorities and let professionals handle it?"

"I just wanted to make sure whether there is any problem with Li Jie first, and then report it to the higher-ups.

There is no evidence at all. If we are just relying on our guesses, we need our comrades to come and investigate.

If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, then all the comrades will have made a wasted trip and wasted money.

We are not well-off right now, and we are very short of funds." Liu Weihua said breathlessly.

Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are worried about your fellow workers, but you don't worry about the safety of your own niece.

Liu Weihua, in your heart, are those comrades you have never met more important, or your niece more important?"

Liu Weihua didn't dare to speak again.

"Wei Hua, we were indeed reckless this time. We shouldn't have let Xiao Xue interfere in this matter. We should have reported it directly." Elder Zou sighed and said,

"We were also negligent. The abilities Xiaoxue has shown these days have made us forget that she is just a sixteen-year-old girl who has not received any relevant training.

In order to take care of us, Xiaoxue has worked hard and has endured a lot that is not appropriate for a girl of her age.

We really shouldn’t burden her any further.”

Wu Lao nodded in agreement, "If you ask me, you two have been brainwashed too thoroughly by the army.

Your army values ​​selflessness and dedication.

Of course, as long as you are willing, no one will stop you.

Not only should you make contributions yourself, but you should also have your wives and children make contributions as well.

If they are also soldiers, it's fine; if not, you can't impose this system on them."

“Take Xiaoxue for example, her parents were both soldiers and sacrificed their lives for their country.

Do you think she feels pity for losing her parents at an age when she should have been enjoying their company, love and education?

Originally, you, as uncles and aunts, should play the role of parents. But you are in the army and have no time to take care of her.

Her grandparents raised her with great difficulty, but passed away one day.

When she needed comfort the most, something happened to you and you came here.

This child has not even recovered from his pain, and you are already worrying about him.

I don't know how she was doing before she came to the countryside, but I guess it wasn't easy, otherwise she wouldn't have prepared so many things.

Have you seen her have any free time since she came here?"

"Now that she finally has some time to rest, you have assigned her such a dangerous mission.

She is just a little girl, not one of your soldiers.

You can't ask her to do what you ask of your soldiers."

Old Wu shook his head and continued, "Brother Zou, you only have one son, and Wei Hua, you have two sons, so you have no experience in raising a daughter.

I have a daughter and I have experience.

Let me tell you, raising a daughter is different from raising a boy.

The little boy has thick skin and needs to be beaten, but the girl cannot do that and needs to be carefully cared for.

A girl like Xiaoxue's age should eat well every day, dress nicely, go out with friends, and stop worrying about everything. "

"Girls only stay at home for a few years. When they grow up, they will get married and become part of someone else's family.

You don't take her seriously at home and don't take good care of her, so do you expect your husband's family to treat her as a idol?"

Thinking of his daughter who has become a grandmother, Mr. Wu couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"Take my silly girl for example, she has never suffered any hardship since she was little.

When I'm at home, there's someone to serve me.

Although life in my husband's family is not as comfortable as at home, I have never suffered any hardship.

I still don’t know how to cook. In the words of my little grandson, the food I eat is so delicious that it will kill me.

He would rather eat the big pot meals in the cafeteria every day than eat the meals cooked by his mother. "

Mr. Zou gave him a displeased look and said, "You just married your daughter to Old Zhou's family.

With their family's ability, they can support your daughter and protect her.

Try another one and see if she will come down to suffer with you this time."

“That’s not my ability, it’s not that they just fell in love with each other.

My daughter is lucky." Mr. Wu denied it flatly.

“So, when raising a daughter, you can’t raise her to be too capable when she is at her parents’ home, otherwise she will be too tired when she goes to her husband’s home.

Especially for someone as capable as Xiaoxue, this cannot be done.

Otherwise, when she gets to her husband's house, everyone will depend on her, and she will be exhausted to death."

After hearing this, Wang Xiulan quickly said, "Brother Wu, we really don't know how to raise a daughter. Why don't you tell us in detail?"
