When the Red Army soldiers chased into the farmhouse, the scene before them made them feel depressed.

The bad guy was grabbing the old lady with his left hand and holding a gun in his right hand, pointing it at the old lady's temple.

"Let me out of the city quickly, or I'll kill her!"

The bad guy had a fierce look on his face, but also a hint of pride.

He knew the Red Army soldiers' love for these ordinary people. As long as he held on to the old woman, he would be absolutely safe!

The soldiers looked anxious, but were extremely hesitant about his request.

If we let him go, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, but if we don't let him go, my aunt's safety cannot be guaranteed.

This is really a dilemma, no matter which choice I make, it’s wrong!

The two sides were in a stalemate, and suddenly a soldier stood up and said to the bad guy.

"I'll be your hostage, please let that lady go."

The bad guy showed a disdainful expression, "Why?"

"Auntie is not in good health, so it's the same if I am held hostage."

The bad guy sneered, "Tsk, she's not my mother, why should I care about her health?"

After saying that, he poked the old lady's temple hard with the gun. The old lady's body was shaking, she was terrified.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. If you don't let me go, this old woman will die with me!"

The soldiers were at a loss for a moment. They had originally wanted to exchange the old lady and then find the right moment to take down the bad guy, but now it seems there is no such chance.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again.

"Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

The bad guy was certain that the Red Army would release the old woman in the end and would not just watch her die.

The Red Army was also discussing solutions in a low voice.

"Why don't you let him go first? Auntie's life is more important!"

"But if important information is leaked, what about the safety of the leaders?"

"How about I go and ask the chief first?"

"This guy is pushing us too hard, we're running out of time!"

The bad guy was getting tired of waiting and shouted to the soldiers.

"If you don't let her go, I'm going to punch this old woman's arm through first!"

The soldiers kept a close eye on the bad guy, fearing that he might really do something crazy.

Suddenly, the bad guy felt a pain on the back of his neck, as if he was bitten by something.

He still held the gun against the old lady's temple with his right hand, and reached behind her neck with his left hand.

Suddenly, I felt a strange furry thing in my hand and took it back to take a look.

The whole person was frightened out of his wits and jumped up on the spot, his expression looking extremely hideous because of the great fear.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

In his hand was a huge spider, as big as a fist, covered with long black hair, and a pair of yellow eyes staring at him strangely.

At the moment when the bad guy was scared and took off, the muzzle of the gun briefly left the old lady's temple.

This gap was a godsend for the Red Army, and everyone raised their guns and shot at him.

The bad guy hadn't recovered from the shock yet and he fell to the ground after being shot several times, unable to breathe.

The Red Army soldiers pulled the old lady over and patted her back gently.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie, it's all right now!"

The terrifying black spider fell to the ground and disappeared along the wall.

It didn't run away somewhere else, but was recovered by Zhou Yue.

When Zhou Yue bought the spider from the mall just now, she was not sure whether the bad guy would be scared.

But I still thought about giving it a try, and I didn’t expect the effect to be so good, and it successfully solved the crisis!

After setting up the venue, I received an invitation from Sister Xiuhua to touch shrimps in the afternoon.

"Ah Yue! A fellow villager said he would take us to catch shrimps this afternoon! Do you want to go?"

"Touch shrimp? Go ahead, go ahead!"

When Zhou Yue lived with her grandmother in the countryside, she often followed her grandmother to catch shrimps.

The shrimps in the river are not big, the largest one is not even as big as your little finger, but they taste very delicious.

Every time we brought back a small bucket, my grandma would use rapeseed oil to make a dish of stir-fried river shrimps with green onions. It was so delicious!

River shrimps are nutritious and delicious. They can be sold for sixty to seventy yuan per pound in the city, which is much more expensive than mud shrimps.

The younger brother standing next to her looked at Zhou Yue with eager eyes, and his dark eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Zhou Yue smiled and patted her brother's head, "Okay! Brother will go too!"

The fellow villager who served as their guide this time was a girl named A Xiang who was the same age as them. She was a new friend that Sister Xiuhua made in Zunyi City.

Ah Xiang had two braided pigtails and was holding a homemade scoop net made of branches and scrap cloth.

When he came to the creek, Zhou Yue couldn't help but sigh that the ecological environment was so good decades ago!

There is no plastic garbage by the stream, and the water is so clear that even the pebbles on the bottom of the water can be seen clearly.

There are small fish and shrimps swimming in the stream. I have to say that there are really a lot of shrimps here!

Zhou Yue is so itchy after seeing this!

She and her brother took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and sleeves, took the simple scoop net that Ah Xiang gave her, and happily stepped into the stream.

The shrimps in the creek swam very fast, but Zhou Yue's hand speed was not inferior. She could catch several shrimps with one scoop of the net.

My younger brother was carrying a small bucket and putting the shrimps in the scoop net into the bucket.

Sister Xiuhua and A Xiang were on the other side of the stream, bending over and scooping fish with great effort.

Happy times pass quickly. It was already past 3pm and it was time to go back.

"Ayue, I've already scooped up half a bucket, how much have you guys scooped up?"

While fishing, Sister Xiuhua asked Zhou Yue and the others who were far away.

Zhou Yue smiled, "Haha, our bucket is almost full!"

"Ah! How come you guys are so powerful? I want to come and see!"

As she said that, Sister Xiuhua walked along the stream and wanted to come over to take a look.

The younger brother looked at the small bucket of shrimps in his hand and whispered to his sister.

"Sister, where can we get a bucket here?"

"It's available now~"

As Zhou Yue was speaking, the half bucket of shrimps turned into a full bucket as if by magic.

She bought these in the system mall. The prices were a bit expensive, but she was already a wealthy woman.

Zhou Xing was already used to seeing this bucket full of river shrimps.

He looked at his sister with a sly smile on his face.

"Hehe, sister, you are cheating!"

When Sister Xiuhua came over and saw their bucket full of shrimps, she was so impressed.

"You two are so amazing!"

Zhou Yue laughed heartily, "Hey, that's right! I'm an expert at catching shrimps!"

Then they prepared to go back. Before leaving, Zhou Yue secretly put something in the stream.

A bag of small shrimp fry contains tens of thousands of them. When these small shrimps grow up, the villagers can come and catch them again.

Although it was a full bucket of shrimps, the bucket was too small. This small bucket of river shrimps only weighed about four pounds.

Zhou Yue didn't want to eat alone with her brother in front of everyone.

Instead, I put the river shrimps in when making dinner and cooked a big pot of meat and vegetable soup with a shrimp flavor.

But she did not use up all the shrimps. Instead, she kept about one pound and blanched them to make a simple boiled river shrimp dish.

It wasn't that she was greedy, but she wanted to give it to her pregnant sister Suzhen.

For pregnant women, eating more shrimps is very beneficial. River shrimps are rich in nutrients and are very beneficial to the development of the fetus.

When Zhou Yue was carrying the plate of boiled river shrimps and walked to Sister Suzhen, she heard her husband Xu Shitou talking.

"Suzhen, I heard that they are planning to build a base in Zunyi City. I will apply to the higher-ups to see if we can stay here."

Li Suzhen looked at her husband tenderly, "It would be great if we could stay here."

Xu Shitou touched his wife's belly lovingly and said, "Yes, our child can be born here and grow up here."

Zhou Yue felt warm at heart when she saw this heartwarming scene, but when she heard these words, she thought about what was going to happen in more than ten days.

My eyes felt sore as if a stone had stuck in them, and a tear was already welling up in my eye socket.
