Xiao Gao nodded fervently. He wished he could show his sincerity. âMrs. Lu, next time, donât go to the pond with Colonel Lu at night. There are so many mosquitoes there, so you can stay in the tent. Old Yang and I will take turns guarding it for you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât tell anyone about your Colonel and me, okay?â Jiang Yao reminded them. She nodded at them when she saw Xiao Gao and Old Yang smiling mischievously. Then, she let them leave the tent.
Once they were out of the tent, Xiao Gao could no longer contain his excitement. He suddenly jumped like a rabbit.
âOld Yang! Old Yang! Iâm so excited! I did not expect the truth to be like that!â Xiao Gao pulled Old Yangâs arm and shook it vigorously. âI thought the Colonel was a scumbag. I did not expect the Colonel andââ
Xiao Gao covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly. âI definitely wonât spill the beans. I canât be so stupid!â
Then, he just ran away.
That night, Lu Xingzhi did not return to the command center. However, Old Yang left the command center at midnight with Jiang Yao, Liu Chao, and the others, leaving Xiao Gao and the others to continue staying there.
It was challenging to walk the mountain path in the middle of the night. It was even more exposed, and soon, Jiang Yaoâs hair was wet from the dew.
âWhere are they taking us? They wonât even let us sleep in the middle of the night. Is that on purpose?â
It was not easy to walk in the middle of the night. Even a man like Liu Chao felt angry. However, when he saw Jiang Yao was calm and did not complain in the slightest, Liu Chao thought that she was not an ordinary girl.
If it were Jing Mengjie and Li Hong, they would be so angry that they would cry and curse the entire way.
âIâm not too sure.â Even though Jiang Yao was Lu Xingzhiâs wife, she was a doctor for the Red Team. Therefore, Xiao Gao and Old Yang would not tell her why they were leaving the command center in the middle of the night.
They were on different sides. Even if she were Lu Xingzhiâs wife, it would not do anything.
The group followed Old Yang all the way north. After walking for more than two hours, Old Yang finally allowed them to rest in a bamboo forest.
âEveryone, set up your tents here,â Old Yang called out to the people behind him. After everyone made their move, Old Yang looked at Jiang Yao and asked kindly, âAre you tired, Miss Jiang? You must be exhausted, right? Once the tents are set up, you should go and rest for a while.
âAlright.â Jiang Yao nodded when Old Yang turned around impatiently. However, he did not leave. He just stood there and looked at the crowd he had brought with him. Then, he called out to the two male soldiers.
Old Yang said, âYou two, come over here. Go and scout the surroundings. However, the most important thing is to look for any fruit trees nearby. Get some fruits for Miss Jiang. As long as itâs edible, itâs fine. There should be wild pears and peaches in the mountains. It shouldnât be a big deal. Anyway, if you see anything edible, just pick it up.â
The two soldiers were dumbfounded, and even Liu Chao and the others were stunned.
The two soldiers had no idea what was happening. However, out of their obedience, they turned around and left without asking anything.
âPerhaps their colonel could not get any information the hard way, so heâs trying this now?â The two captives muttered in a low voice.
Old Yang did not even have time to say anything to Jiang Yao before sending the two soldiers away.. She pretended not to know anything when everyone looked at her.
