Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

The middle-aged woman did buy a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup, but on the way back with the soup, she secretly sprinkled some white powder into the soup. She also walked around a few tables and exchanged glances with the people at those tables and whispered a few words to them.

When she finally came back, Shi Yan had already eaten a lot of the dishes that Tang Ping ordered.

"Dear girl, drink some. Look how white this soup is. This soup is very fresh and nutritious."

The woman was very outgoing and scooped a spoonful of soup into Shi Yan's bowl. Shi Yan smiled and calmly checked the ingredients in the soup, confirming that there was a small amount of drugs. Shi Yan pretended to take advantage of the situation and put the soup into her mouth, but actually all the fish soup was sent into the ring space.

"Aunt, this soup is really delicious, but I don't know if it's because I'm not used to it, but I always feel that this soup is a bit bitter."

Shi Yan watched the smile on the middle-aged woman's face freeze after she heard her words, but she still pulled the corners of her mouth together.

"Maybe this is your first time drinking it. I don't have this feeling when I drink it. Otherwise, you can drink more."

"That won't do. It was Auntie who wanted to drink the soup. How can you let me drink more? Auntie, please drink some too. Don't just focus on me."

Shi Yan directly picked up the spoon in the soup bowl and fed it into the woman's mouth. The woman had no choice but to swallow the spoonful of soup.

After drinking the soup, the woman no longer forced Shi Yan to drink it, but sat aside without saying anything. Shi Yan knew that she was waiting for the opportunity, so she pretended to be very tired and yawned.

Soon, a tall figure stood in front of their table, followed by the middle-aged woman's surprised voice.

"Hey, son-in-law, why are you here? We just came out to have a meal, we didn't want to leave!"

"Mom, I know that life with the army is hard, but I really like Yanyan. I promise to treat her well. Mom, please don't take Yanyan away!"

The man was tall and strong, and he kept his back straight when he spoke. He really looked a bit like a soldier.

"Humph! You said you were good to my daughter? But my daughter couldn't even get a full meal when she followed you in the army. I gave her to you out of pampered love, but you couldn't give her a good life. How can I be at ease handing my daughter over to you!"

The middle-aged woman raised her voice, and her sharp voice and the content of her words immediately attracted the crowd who were already full and ready to leave.

Shi Yan propped up her head and pretended to be unconscious. She sighed in her heart that today's human traffickers are keeping up with the times. They made up a story based on her identity, and even her mother-in-law came to break up the couple.

"Mom, Yanyan and I are truly in love, I can't leave her, please, if it really doesn't work, I can change my job and go back to my hometown to accompany Yanyan!"

The man spoke from the heart, with tears in his eyes. The onlookers were also moved, and they all asked the middle-aged woman, as their mother, to help the couple get together.

"Well, I don't want to force you, but today I see that you really want to live with my daughter, so just take her back."

The middle-aged woman stepped aside and let the man take Shi Yan away.

"Thank you, mother. I will definitely be filial to you in the future. I will take my wife away now!"

The man looked extremely happy and reached out his hand to help Shi Yan up. Shi Yan was prepared to wait for the moment the man touched her so as to transfer her supernatural powers into his body and temporarily paralyze him. However, she did not expect that when she used her supernatural powers, she would see Tang Ping standing outside the state-owned hotel with an angry look on his face.

"Where are you taking my wife?"

Tang Ping had good physique and quickly caught up with the man, but he did not find any dirt on the man, and the person who had been robbed did not catch up with him. He realized something was wrong, and ignored the "thief" he had just caught and ran back.

Fortunately, he was quick, otherwise his wife would have been kidnapped!

Seeing Tang Ping coming back so soon, panic flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, but thinking that Shi Yan was already confused, they had many people and Tang Ping was alone, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Young man, what are you talking about? When did my daughter become your wife? You don't want to mess around just because we are lesbians."

"Everyone, please help me, this guy must be a kidnapper. He said right away that my daughter is his wife and my son-in-law is still here!"

The middle-aged woman suppressed her inner panic and howled in fear, and a short man immediately echoed her.

"Yes, her son-in-law is still here. You are not trying to snatch her away just because she is pretty and you are young and strong."

Tang Ping's attention was all on the man who was about to touch his young wife. Now he turned his gaze to Shi Yan.

Seeing Shi Yan with her eyes slightly lowered and expressionless in such a noisy environment, he was worried that his young wife had been drugged. Then he noticed that his young wife put one hand under the table, made a four gesture, and then gestured in the direction of the middle-aged woman.

Knowing that his wife was just pretending, Tang Ping felt relieved and even a little proud that his wife was so smart. Not only did she not fall for the tricks of these people, but she also hinted that there were four accomplices at the scene. So Tang Ping did not rush to take action, but observed the crowd.

After confirming that the other two middle-aged women were accomplices, he strode forward and first grabbed the collar of the man who was impersonating him.

However, since these kidnappers knew that the men were military dependents but still dared to kidnap them, they were obviously very capable. The man who was caught soon became entangled with Tang Ping.

"Oh my god, kidnappers are so rampant now, everyone please help!"

It was the short man who spoke first and rushed forward to offer help. Then another man rushed out from the crowd. Now Tang Ping could be said to be fighting one against three.

Although the other onlookers did not help, they still spontaneously surrounded the few people.

The crowd separated Shi Yan and the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman knew that Tang Ping was a very powerful character, so she hurriedly took the initiative to half-support and half-carry Shi Yan out of the hotel.

Shi Yan did not struggle, but put all her strength on the woman. Her hand inadvertently touched an empty plate on the table and put the plate into the space.

All Shi Yan's ears were filled with the woman's exhausted panting. Until the occasional sound of people talking on the street disappeared, the middle-aged woman finally stopped and threw Shi Yan to the ground.

Shi Yan had already expected this to happen, and with the activation of her supernatural powers, countless vines emerged from the ground and caught her the moment she landed. She felt like she had landed on Ximusi and did not feel any pain.

"Why are you all still hiding? Are you trying to tire me to death? You couldn't even distract someone. This mission almost went wrong."

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, two men came out. These two men were the ones who played the role of the owner and the thief outside the state-owned hotel today.

"Hey, the goods this time are really good. After all, we risked our lives to put on such a show, so we brothers should at least get some benefits!"

After hearing what the two men said, the middle-aged woman showed disdain on her face, but because the two brothers didn't listen to her much, she didn't dare to refute.

"Then you two hurry up, I'll help you guard outside."

After the woman finished speaking, she left the courtyard where they were hiding.

Just after she left, Shi Yan made sure that there was no one else in the yard. She took advantage of the two men's inattention and wrapped vines around their feet. When they lowered their heads to check the situation, she stood up and knocked them both unconscious with a plate she had taken from the state-owned restaurant.

Worried that the two would wake up too quickly, Lu Ranran hit them on the head several more times before she took the blood-stained plate to open the gate and knocked out the middle-aged woman who hadn't reacted yet.

Shi Yan threw the bloody plate aside, and ran out of the alley pretending to be scared and panicked, just in time to run into Tang Ping who had just dealt with the three kidnappers in the state-owned restaurant.

"Nian Nian, my wife, how are you? Are you injured?"

Seeing blood on his young wife's hands, Tang Ping was really shocked and felt even more guilty.

He thought about defending the country and serving the people every day, but when his wife was in danger, no one was willing to lend a helping hand, and he was unable to show up in the first time.

After so many years of military service, this was the first time he began to doubt what he was insisting on.

In the end, Tang Ping handed all six people over to his comrades in the police station, while the two of them went to get the certificate as planned.

After receiving the two red paper marriage certificates that looked like award certificates, Tang Ping finally felt at ease. However, the overwhelming sense of guilt could not be dispelled from his heart. Looking at his wife's still messy hair and the bloodstains on the corners of her clothes, Tang Ping couldn't help but hug her into his arms.

People coming and going couldn't help but cast their eyes on the two people hugging each other. Shi Yan was just about to comfort Tang Ping. After all, Tang Ping seemed unusually quiet and in a tense state after sending the traffickers to the police station.

But before she could open her mouth, a series of "gurgling" sounds came from Tang Ping's stomach.

Shi Yan felt the person holding her stiffen up, then slowly loosen his hands, and his wheat-colored earlobes gradually turned crimson.

"Let's go buy some food and go directly to the guest house. I'm a little tired."

Shi Yan spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere.

Finally, the two bought some food and took their newly-issued marriage certificate to the guesthouse to book a room.

Shi Yan simply washed up and went to take a nap. After Tang Ping made sure that Shi Yan was asleep, he went to the surrounding village to find a carpenter.

I bought a new big bed, a dressing table, two large wooden boxes, and a large double-opening wardrobe.

He rented a tractor from the village, pulled the things to the dock, and asked people to transport the things back to the island. Then he finally returned to the guesthouse, washed himself, and lay down next to Shi Yan.

The two of them slept until the next morning, and Shi Yan and Tang Ping were woken up by hunger.

It was already dawn outside the window and there were faint sounds on the street. After the two of them washed up and went downstairs, they saw the boss who was guarding the front desk dozing off.

The two of them walked out of the guesthouse as lightly as possible. There were not many people on the street at this time, but the small state-owned breakfast shop was already steaming with a few people sitting here and there in the shop.

The shop owner had a radio on the table at the back of the shop. At this moment, a ding-dong sound came from the radio, followed by the sweet oriole-like voice of the announcer:

"This is the radio and television station. Comrade Xue Zhongrui will now present The Big Knife."

"Today we are talking about the 32nd chapter. Last time we talked about a servant who was kidnapped while delivering a letter..."

Shi Yan was eating noodles while listening to the male voice on the radio telling stories vividly. She found it very novel. In later generations, few people kept the habit of listening to the radio, but in this era, radio was an indispensable part of many city dwellers' way of passing time.

"Do you like it? We'll buy one later so you can listen to it when you have nothing to do."

Shi Yan nodded. They were not short of money and could afford to buy a radio. The most important thing was that she was really bored staying in the yard alone. If she didn't do something, she was really afraid that she would suffer from prenatal depression.

The two of them listened to the story of Chapter 32 in the state-owned shop before getting up and leaving.

At first, Shi Yan thought Tang Ping would take her to the supply and marketing cooperative, but unexpectedly, Tang Ping took her through several alleys and stopped in front of a scrap yard.

Perhaps noticing Shi Yan's somewhat surprised expression, Tang Ping took the initiative to explain:

"The old man who's in charge of the scrapyard is good at repairing some small electrical appliances. A comrade-in-arms has bought a second-hand radio here before. Let's try our luck first. If there's nothing, I'll go back and exchange the radio ticket, then go off the island and buy a new one."

"it is good."

Shi Yan was full of yearning for the scrap yards of this era. She heard that many of the first batch of businessmen who went into business earned their starting capital by collecting waste from scrap yards, so Shi Yan was really curious whether she could find some treasures here.

I don’t know if all scrap yards of this era are like this, but on the open space of the scrap yard, all the things are neatly arranged according to categories. It is obvious that the person who guards this scrap yard is a very particular person.

"Are you here looking for something? Look for whatever you want, but remember to put it back where it is after you're done, and don't make a mess of the yard."

An old male voice came from behind a wall of books. The two walked around the wall and saw an old man with white hair, holding a screwdriver and pliers, repairing a mechanical watch.

"Uncle, we want to buy a radio to entertain my wife."

The old man didn't reply immediately. He just pushed up his glasses, looked up at the two of them, and then continued:

"Looking at the way you're dressed, you don't look like you can't afford a radio, right?"

"Uncle, my wife and I live on the island opposite. It usually takes us half a day to get to the island. We left in a hurry this time and haven't exchanged for a radio ticket yet.

But I took a leave to go off the island to buy some things, and I won’t have many days off to come back to the city. My wife is pregnant, and it’s not convenient for her to take a boat out of the island, so I came to try my luck with you.”

Tang Ping behaved very modestly, and the old man was not one to argue with others. He put down the tools in his hands, stood up and walked into the house.

"Please feel free to take a look. I have another one that was just repaired. Someone asked me to keep it. I'll give it to you first!"

Although the old man's body is a little hunched, he still speaks with full energy.
