In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of December.

On this day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

Jian Yue, carrying a large backpack, walked excitedly toward the hillside not far from the military compound, preparing to pick some wild vegetables.

He walked along the winding path with brisk steps and humming a cheerful tune.

I habitually stay away from the crowd, and the further I go into the hillside, the fewer people there are.

Until there was no sound or figure.

As I was walking, my eyes suddenly lit up and I saw a patch of wolfberries.

The wolfberry leaves are fresh and tender, and the wolfberry fruits are bright red, hanging in bunches on the branches.

Jian Yue couldn't help but be delighted. "I'm so lucky to have found such high-quality wolfberries!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to reach out and pick those plump wolfberries.

I gently put the wolfberries into the basket, feeling very happy.

She tried a few wolfberries, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes.

Then she quickened the pace of picking.

In a short while, the backpack was filled with a lot of red wolfberries.

Look again, there are many fresh wolfberry leaves.

Take it home and make soup, it will definitely taste delicious.

So, he carefully picked some wolfberry leaves.

Just when she was busy and having fun.

Suddenly, a faint sound was heard not far away.

He immediately became alert, stopped what he was doing, held his breath and listened carefully.

The sound was intermittent, like someone was talking in a low voice.

My heartbeat quickened suddenly, and I cautiously took a few steps towards the direction of the sound.

Faintly, I heard someone say, "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise..."

Another person responded: "Don't worry, this place is very remote, no one will find us."

Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, "Oh no!" Could it be that she had encountered some criminals?

After all, the distance is a bit far, so I can't hear it very clearly.

However, the furtive atmosphere and the caution in the words made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

My heart beat faster involuntarily, and a thought flashed through my mind: Could these two people be spies?

He squatted down quietly, trying his best to hide his body, not daring to breathe.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound came from.

I saw two figures standing stealthily under a big tree not far away.

Their faces were vaguely visible in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.

But his behavior was full of suspicious things.

One of the men appeared to be looking at a map.

The other person kept looking around, as if he was alert to the movements around him.

There was a figure that looked familiar.

If I am not mistaken, it should be - Principal Qi!

So, it turns out that this guy really has a problem!

It was ridiculous to think that I was asking him for help.

[○?`Д′? ○]

Jian Yue's heart was in her throat. She tried to stay calm and thought about what to do.

I can't act rashly. If I am discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

His brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to leave here safely and tell Jiang Zeyuan about this important discovery.

Quietly put the backpack on his back and slowly backed away.

He took every step very carefully, for fear of making any noise and alerting the two suspicious people.

His eyes were always fixed on the two people, observing their every move.

After retreating to a certain distance and feeling a little safer, he turned around and ran away.

The footsteps swept quickly across the grass, making a slight sound.

He looked back as he ran, afraid that the two men would catch up with him.

The two men noticed Jian Yue's unusual behavior.

Principal Qi's face suddenly turned fierce and he was about to chase after him.

But as soon as he took a step, he was grabbed tightly by the man next to him.

Principal Qi shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Let me go, I'm going to catch her, I can't let her ruin our business!"

The man glanced at him speechlessly and said in a low voice, "Are you crazy? There are people behind you. Are you going to kill them all? Besides, it's so far away. At your speed, you can't catch up with her! Don't lose the big picture for the small one."

Principal Qi gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling.

But she also understood that what the man said made sense, so she could only suppress her anger.

I watched Jian Yue's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

The man looked at Jian Yue's back with a frown on his face.

Damn!

Jian Yue ran wildly all the way, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

The aunties and grandmas who were collecting firewood outside shouted, "Little Jian, why are you running? Did you see a snake?"

Jian Yue had no interest in explaining to them and continued running.

Then, the man walked out from the side.

He curled his lips in a cold smile, his eyes full of sinisterness.

Turns out, it’s still you!

I must deal with this woman as soon as possible.

I have ruined so many things for myself!

I finally ran back to the military compound, feeling almost exhausted, with weak legs and gasping for breath.

Jian Yue dragged her legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, and leaned against the wall of someone else's house.

He was breathing heavily, as if he was going to vomit out his heart and lungs.

It took me a long while to finally catch my breath.

He took weak steps and slowly moved home.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over like a ghost.

Jian Yue was caught off guard, and she fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch".

A fishy smell of dust instantly filled my nose.

He lay on the ground in a mess, his heart full of grievances and fear that almost overflowed.

The man was quick and nimble, and stretched out his hand quickly.

With a seemingly apologetic smile on his face, his voice was strange, "Sorry, comrade!"

Jian Yue was filled with annoyance and waved her hands randomly.

She didn't even look at him, her mind was completely occupied by the terrible experience in the back mountain.

He stood up on his own and ran towards home with staggering but determined steps.

The man looked at her hurriedly leaving back, his eyes as dark as a bottomless pool of water.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, but that curve did not show any warmth at all, but instead revealed a fierceness.

Jian Yue finally returned home.

He slumped in the chair like a puddle of mud, his body shaking uncontrollably.

A heart is like a boat in a storm, swaying and unable to calm down.

When she thought about what happened in the back mountain today, the fear was like countless little bugs gnawing at every inch of her nerves.

I dare not underestimate how terrifying these spies are in this era.

Just at this moment, Jiang Zeyuan came back in a hurry.

Jian Yue seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

I couldn't wait to tell him what had happened in detail, using gestures and explanations.

Jiang Zeyuan's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

He thought for a long time with a dark face, and then said in a deep voice: "Wife, you must not go out these few days. I will get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Jian Yue nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

But my heart was still in turmoil and I was very nervous.
