Chapter 6: Framed Again Returns to Small Yang Village
"Enter Xiaoyang Village!" Chen Shaoqin did not hesitate at all, in his view this was already a decision he had made after careful consideration, and he believed that his decision would not be wrong.
"Entering Xiao Yang Village?" The girl stared at him with wide eyes, looking puzzled.
"Hey, no need to look at me with that kind of eyes, I don't know what you're thinking, it's as if you want to eat me up!" Chen Shaoqin felt a bit unnatural seeing this girl's astonished gaze.
"You're a seasoned veteran, how can you be so careless? The fact that the little devils were able to set up checkpoints outside Xiao Yang Village shows how much they value Xiao Yang Village. And didn't we just escape from them earlier? Now if we go back to Xiao Yang Village, aren't we walking into their trap?" That girl had no idea how this guy managed to become a lieutenant colonel, yet he couldn't even understand such basic common sense.
"Firstly, I've never claimed to be a seasoned veteran in front of you. Secondly, I've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet, so finding a place to grab a bite shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Chen Shaoqin didn't expect this little girl to spout out such a long analysis in front of him, it was almost like brandishing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. "Besides, if you're scared, you can just not go, I won't force you!"
"Who's afraid, just go!" The girl student said angrily, although she firmly believed that her analysis was not wrong, but she couldn't accept the other side using her fear as an excuse to throw her off. Anyway, this kid wouldn't be willing to fall into the hands of a little devil either, and she was very sure about this. Therefore, she felt that even if she followed him, nothing big would happen.
"Let's go!" Chen Shaoqin slightly smiled at the girl, then shouldered his gun and headed down the mountain road towards Xiaoyang Village.
The female student naturally didn't dare to delay, and rushed a few steps ahead of Chen Shaoqin, trying her best to keep close to him, because she was afraid of the darkness in the forest, and even more afraid that she would lose him and be left behind.
"Hey, what's your name?" The only sound accompanying the gloomy road was the footsteps echoing in the darkness, which made the restless female student unable to calm down, so she asked Chen Shaoqin.
"Why should I tell you?" Chen Shaoqin had no intention of revealing his own name, he thought this was a very boring question and didn't even plan to talk about these useless things with this little girl.
"You won't say it, but I can't keep calling you like that!" The girl student pouted and said, "Look at your height, and yet when analyzing things, you're so silly. So I'll just call you 'silly big guy'!"
Chen Shaoqin ignored her and continued on his way to Xiaoyang Village, these boring topics couldn't arouse any interest in him. At this moment, he was thinking most about how to escape the pursuit of the little ghost, and then find an opportunity to go to Nanjing to complete the task entrusted by Hei Hu. Although he didn't get the password to meet with Qian Zhanggui, even if he found Qian Zhanggui, it would be useless, but he knew that this matter was currently the most important thing, as for other things, he didn't care about them at all.
"Hey, stupid big guy, are you listening or not?!" Seeing that Chen Shaoqin didn't respond to her, the female student turned around to face him, gently patted his shoulder, and then questioned him with disdain for not respecting her when she spoke.
"What's it to me whether I listen or not? You're having a lively conversation with yourself anyway!" Chen Shaoqin deliberately teased, without directly talking to her.
"Why don't we do it this way, I'll tell you my name first, and then you can tell me yours!" The female student turned around and walked away again, but didn't forget to try every means to get Chen Shaoqin's name out of him. "My name is Xue Yumei, now it's your turn!"
"Shh..." Chen Shaoqin didn't respond to her, instead he grabbed her hand and instinctively made a gesture for her not to make any noise.
"What? Is there a ghost?" This movement scared Xue Yumei, holding her breath as much as possible, and then asked Chen Shaoqin in a low voice if he had found the little ghost, but Chen Shaoqin didn't have any intention of drawing his gun at this moment, which made her somewhat puzzled.
"It's the sweet potato field that has a grandpa on guard!" Chen Shaoqin said with a very serious expression in front of Xue Yumei, it was unclear whether he was being intentional or had some other idea.
"You almost scared me to death!" Xue Yumei elbowed Chen Shaoqin hard, taking revenge for being frightened half to death by him.
"Hey... what are you doing? You hit me so hard, aren't you afraid that I won't die at the hands of the devils but will be wronged to death by your own hands?" Chen Shaoqin's chest was struck, a wave of pain surged up, and he shouted in a low voice, clearly protesting Xue Yumei's unprovoked sneak attack.
"What's the big deal? An old man is being made to be terrified!" Xue Yumei didn't plan on explaining her own behavior, instead continuing to ask Chen Shaoqin for the reason behind his shocked expression.
The result was completely unrelated to what Xue Yumei had worried about, and it naturally made her feel deceived. If she didn't severely punish Chen Shaoqin, she thought that her heart would not be balanced.
"I wanted to secretly dig up the sweet potatoes, but I saw Grandpa watching over them. How could I not be terrified?" Chen Shaoqin explained with a sly and mischievous expression, as if he had a belly full of bad water that couldn't be poured out, almost suffocating him.
"What? You want to steal the old man's sweet potatoes......?" As soon as these words came out, they completely overturned Chen Shaoqin's image in her heart. She had never thought that she would be walking with a thief today, and even more so, about to commit a crime. This was absolutely unthinkable for this female student who, although not particularly gentle or virtuous, was generally good-natured.
"Shut up, do you want the whole village to know we've arrived at Xiao Yang Village?" Chen Shaoqin didn't wait for her to finish speaking, immediately covering her mouth with his hand. After making sure she wouldn't shout out loud, he slowly released his hand from her mouth.
"You're stealing here and you don't even let people report it, aren't you a bit shameless?" Xue Yumei looked at Chen Shaoqin with disdain. At this moment, she felt that following him to fight the devils was the biggest mistake of her life. But now she had no way back, and could only think of ways to lead this kid onto the right path. "Actually, we're hungry, we can just ask the old man for a few sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs, there's no need..."
"Don't have to go and steal, right?" Chen Shaoqin helped her say the rest of the words, "You, are you bringing that whole set from your school here? I'm telling you, this village has already been occupied by the little devils, there are little devil spies everywhere. If we expose ourselves easily, it's very likely that the devil's people will report our movements and bring us a disaster, do you understand?"
When Chen Shaoqin said this, Xue Yumei's previous eloquence turned into silence. She indeed did not consider this factor, which was precisely the crucial detail that would decide her fate.
"We didn't even steal, when we dug up a few sweet potatoes and left the money behind, it's like we bought them from the old man!" Chen Shaoqin finally felt that Xue Yumei was a burden, she didn't understand anything but always wanted to participate, and what was most annoying was that she always used big principles to lecture him, it was infuriating! But who could he blame? It was all because of his own soft heart!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Xue Yumei suddenly made a 180-degree turn and began to urge Chen Shaoqin, after saying this, her stomach involuntarily growled, obviously because she was hungry...
