My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 94 Chen Xiaomiao hit someone!

The next day, the two bid farewell to the Sun sisters and left the border town.

Since Lu Yuan was already out, he figured he might as well accompany her around a bit more, so he boarded the high-speed train to Furong City.

When the high-speed train arrived at the station, Li Li had been waiting for a long time.

She was still dressed in a smart business suit, with an impeccable smile on her face.

Without saying a word, she took Lu Yuan's luggage, guided the two of them to a black van, and personally drove them to a five-star hotel by the river.

The room is on the thirtieth floor, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing the surging river and the lush green island in the middle of the river.

Chen Xiaomiao walked barefoot on the soft carpet to the window, her gaze instantly drawn to the huge statue of a young man in the distance.

Over the course of several months, thanks to Lu Yuan's intentional and unintentional popular science education, she had developed a vague outline of modern history.

She knew how earth-shattering the changes had taken place on this land since her time.

Although she still couldn't understand many of the convoluted ideas and principles, she knew one thing at the end—the sculpture on Jiang Island represented a great man who turned the tide of the entire world.

Lu Yuan carried a bowl of sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes over, picked one up with a bamboo skewer, and fed it to the girl's lips.

The golden glutinous rice balls are coated with glistening syrup and exude an enticing sweet aroma.

Chen Xiaomiao subconsciously opened her mouth and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly while gazing out the window in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, if back then, Brother Gu and Sister Zhi could have gone to the west with Brother Shu..."

"Don't think about it anymore, there aren't that many 'what ifs' in the world."

Lu Yuan offered gentle words of comfort, but Chen Xiaomiao's words served as a reminder to him.

"You should rest well. I'll go somewhere with you this afternoon."

"middle!"

After a short lunch break, Lu Yuan led Chen Xiaomiao to Yuelu Mountain by car.

Instead of taking the sightseeing bus, the two chose to walk.

Chen Xiaomiao looked thin and weak, but she had experienced the Great Famine and still had some endurance.

I climbed up steadily, breathing evenly, without even breaking a sweat.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was "fed" at home by Chen Xiaomiao every day and hadn't exercised much in a long time, so he couldn't help but start panting heavily.

Why are you so weak?

Chen Xiaomiao turned to look at him, the mountain wind blowing her hair wildly, her eyes filled with a hint of smugness.

"You wait!"

Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment, but he secretly made up his mind that he would definitely go back and start training again.

Sooner or later, this girl will be crying and shouting, "It's no good!"
Following the signs, Lu Yuan stopped in front of a solemn pine and cypress forest.

A huge stone tablet stands in front, with the words "Cemetery of the Martyrs of the 73rd Army in the War of Resistance Against Japan" engraved on it.

Chen Xiaomiao stepped forward and slowly examined the stone tablet, looking at the words "Awe-inspiring for all time", "Loyalty and integrity shine through heaven and earth", and "The loyal bones of the famous mountain will live on forever".

The relaxed expression on her face slowly faded, and she asked in confusion, "Lu Yuan, why did you bring me here?"

"Although there is no clear information, judging from Chen Xiaogu's photos and letters, he most likely sacrificed his life during the three battles of Furong City."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the "Loyalty and Righteousness Temple" behind the stone tablet: "So his ashes are very likely buried here."

Chen Xiaomiao stared blankly at the couplets on both sides of the "Zhongyi Temple," her eyes vacant.

Loyalty shines brightly on the mountain peaks; righteousness fills the vast sky...

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the green mountains before her, returning to more than eighty years ago.

The young figure who always loved to boast and make grand promises in front of her, saying, "When the world is at peace in the future, I will take you down the mountain to eat all the good things in the world," slowly overlapped with the green mountains in front of her.

She slowly raised her hand, made a Taoist hand gesture, and bowed deeply.

The next day, the two left Furong City. Lu Yuan then took a detour to accompany Chen Xiaomiao back to Huangya Village, where they burned some paper money and kowtowed a few times at Qizhen Temple. They did not return to Jiangcheng until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere gradually faded, most people in the city began to return to work, and shops along the street gradually reopened.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, there was a knock on the door.

When Lu Yuan opened the door, he saw Zhao Qiang and Qi Lili, carrying large and small bags of local specialties.

"Qiangzi? Come in quickly!" Lu Yuan smiled and invited him in, saying politely, "You're here, why did you bring anything?"

"You can't visit someone for the New Year empty-handed."

Zhao Qiang smiled憨厚ly: "I just had some free time, so I came to see you and your sister-in-law."

After settling the two down, Lu Yuan casually asked, "Zhao Qiang, were you busy during the New Year? I didn't see you when I came to your house."

Zhao Qiang picked up his teacup and gently blew on it to cool it down: "A little."

As a driver, Zhao Qiang accompanied Yu Hongkai's family on their journey to visit relatives and friends starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year. He only got three days off yesterday, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Qi Lili continued, "Sigh, this year has been really awful... Not to mention you, Yuanzi, I haven't seen a single person from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth."

He has a pregnant woman and a sick person in his family; he's really carefree.

"Oh dear, you've been talking about me the whole way here, why are you still talking about me now that we're at Yuanzi's house!"

Zhao Qiang was embarrassed by what he was told.

Lu Yuan poured tea for the two of them, his mind perfectly clear.

Qi Lili's words were clearly meant for herself; this New Year's visit today was most likely instigated by her.

He smiled nonchalantly and continued, "Sister-in-law, Qiangzi is doing this for your family... How about I talk to Yu Hongkai and ask Qiangzi to come and help me sooner?"

Zhao Qiang was taken aback.

Qi Lili's eyes lit up instantly, and she nudged her husband with her elbow.

As the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Zhao Qiang grew up playing in the mud with him, so Lu Yuan naturally wanted to assign him tasks and groom him as a trusted confidant.

It would be best to follow Lü Xin and learn some real skills.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang shook his head and said righteously, "That won't do! Boss Yu has treated me well, so we have to wait until the contract is finalized."

Qi Lili rolled her eyes as she listened, feeling utterly disappointed in him.

To avoid upsetting her husband and potentially harming her pregnancy, she quickly changed the subject: "Hey, Lu Yuan, where's your wife? I haven't seen her."

Lu Yuan explained, "Yu Hongkai is getting married on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Xiao Miao promised his wife that she would be his bridesmaid. Today was the first rehearsal, and she went there early this morning."

Zhao Qiang added, "My leave only lasts until the eighth day of the lunar new year. After that, I'll have to help Yu Hongkai pick up and drop off his relatives, and I'll also have to drive him around on his wedding day!"

Just then, Lu Yuan's phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Song Jia.

"Hello, Song Jia?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Jia's voice was fast and urgent.

"Lu Yuan, come here right now! Something's happened to Xiao Miao!"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly darkened.

"What's wrong? What happened to Xiao Miao?"

"She got into a fight with someone and it escalated!"

"Xiao Miao was beaten up?"

Song Jia paused on the other end of the phone, her tone becoming unusually strange.

"No...she's the one who hit him!"
