Quick mission: We don't make trouble

It was already mid-afternoon after lunch. Wang Xiangdong asked Zhu Qingqing and Didi to find a shady place to rest, while he was busy getting branches to build a simple shack.

Now that we have a shack, at least the children don’t have to spend the night outdoors.

Wu Di was arranged to sleep in the shack first.

Night falls quietly and stars twinkle in the sky.

Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong sat around the fire, the warm light of the fire illuminating their faces.

Zhu Qingqing smiled, her eyes tender as she gently stirred the fire, making it burn brighter. Wang Xiangdong sat quietly by the side, his eyes occasionally meeting Zhu Qingqing's, as if they were communicating some kind of tacit understanding through their words.

Their conversation was relaxed and natural, ranging from the trivialities of life to their dreams and hopes. The crackling of the fire served as background music, accompanying their laughter and conversation.

Zhu Qingqing shared her recent anecdotes, her voice full of energy, making Wang Xiangdong laugh out loud. Wang Xiangdong listened, occasionally interjecting humorous comments to make the atmosphere more cheerful.

As time passed, the stillness of the night and the warmth of the fire merged to envelop them, and their conversation continued as if time had stopped and only the beautiful exchange of the present moment mattered.

Zhu Qingqing was busy with her career before and had never had such a good chat with anyone and said so many words to them, and the person was someone she just met.

She talked about the difficulties she faced in starting her own business and her experience in the inspection team.

The restaurant finally got back on track, but she couldn't go back.

Wang Xiangdong: "Where are your parents, family, brothers and sisters?"

Zhu Qingqing: "You saw it all that day. My parents and sister were all together. We were traveling together, and I didn't know where they were... I hope they are safe. If that's the case, my restaurant will be left to them."

On this night, Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong chatting around the fire created a warm and peaceful picture, and their friendship grew deeper in the firelight.

At this moment, they all temporarily forgot their worries and just enjoyed this rare tranquility.

Later, it was Wu Di's turning over that startled them.

Zhu Qingqing went into the shack to take a look and said, "This kid has never suffered any hardship before, and now he's sleeping in a shack. He's really broadened his horizons."

Wang Xiangdong: "Children are all like this. I also promised to take my daughter out to see the world and broaden her horizons. Alas, I used to be a soldier in the army, guarding a sentry post, and I had never been anywhere else. After I was discharged, I came back to this scenic area to patrol, and then I got married... After my wife gave birth to our daughter, she ran away to work and never came back. She only sent the divorce agreement, and our daughter was raised by my parents, who lived in the town at the foot of the mountain.

I had originally planned to take my daughter to the provincial capital this summer to celebrate her birthday. She is already ten years old and has never been far away.

But... who would have thought of traveling through time?"

Now he can only explain it by time travel.

Zhu Qingqing didn't know how to comfort him.

Zhu Qingqing: "Lao Geng, if you really did travel through time, what would you plan to do?"

Wang Xiangdong: "Let's get out of this mountain first. I don't know what dynasty is out there, is it a chaotic era or a peaceful and prosperous one? But at least we have to survive. Let's take it one step at a time."

It seems so.

Zhu Qingqing asked again: "Lao Geng, do you think that God let us through just to let us survive?"

"So, according to what you mean, Sister Zhu, does that mean we traveled through time with a mission?"

Wang Xiangdong thought about it but couldn't figure it out. He didn't usually read time-travel novels, so he didn't know what methods or skills the protagonist had.

Besides, he was just an ordinary person, with nothing he wanted. He didn't dare to think about being as extraordinary as the protagonist in the book.

Zhu Qingqing did read a few of these books when she was in school, but later she got married and had children and was busy making money and running a restaurant, so she didn't have time to read them, and she didn't quite understand the current market for time travel.

Who says that traveling through time makes you omnipotent?

For people like them who are neither good at literature nor martial arts, it is lucky enough to be able to survive.
