After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 840 Monster, Mom, we're here!

That night, the moonlight was pale.

The woman tucked the blanket around her daughter, who was lying obediently in bed and fast asleep, then turned and tiptoed out the door.

As she raised her hand to close the small bedroom door, she couldn't help but glance at her daughter's bed again.

They met a pair of quiet eyes that were looking this way.

In an instant, his three souls and seven spirits almost flew away.

Wiping the cold sweat that had instantly broken out on her forehead, she blinked and looked again, only to see her daughter still sleeping soundly in bed, in the exact same position as when she had left the bedside.

Just then, her husband called her from outside the yard. She quickly composed herself, closed the door, answered, and hurried into the yard.

The couple spoke quietly in the moonlight in their small courtyard.

In the small bedroom.

As soon as the woman left, the girl, who seemed to be fast asleep, silently sat up in bed, carefully lifted the covers and got out of bed. First, she walked barefoot to the gap in the curtains to look at her parents who were chatting earnestly in the yard outside. Then she walked to the wardrobe in the corner, opened one of the doors and quickly slipped inside, then closed the door again.

The cabinet was pitch black.

The girl reached into the closet and pulled aside the clothes hanging there. After rummaging around in the corner, she finally found a razor blade that her father used to shave, a box of which could be bought for two yuan.

Without blinking, he skillfully slid it across his wrist.

A very slight stinging pain came, but that wasn't the end of it. She switched hands and made a cut on her other wrist, then her thigh, ankle, and finally her neck.

But before she could even feel the blood flowing out of the cut vein, the wound had already quietly healed in the darkness, leaving it smooth to the touch.

"monster!"

A soft murmur echoed from the small cabinet.

Undeterred, the girl tried a few more times before finally giving up in disappointment.

She skillfully concealed the razor blade and wiped away the small amount of blood that had seeped into the wardrobe before emerging from it. She glanced again through the gap in the curtains at her parents, who were still sitting in the yard. She tossed the blood-stained old clothes under the bed, returned to bed, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.

The couple in the courtyard helped each other to their feet after a while.

Wu Laosan patted his wife's shoulder and pulled her back into the house: "That's fine, come on, let's go back to the house and sleep."

Before going to bed.

"Let's all get up early tomorrow and cook a nice meal for Qiaoqiao. After this, there won't be another chance!"

"Okay, let's make her favorite scallion pancakes."

"And steamed egg custard."

"Okay, add more sesame oil."

A damp stain silently slid down from the corner of her eye and disappeared into the pillow with its small floral print.

Changhe Village Health Clinic.

Yuan Zheng put down his notebook, pinched the bridge of his nose, and looked up to see his apprentice sitting opposite him still writing furiously. "It's getting late, Mingxin. Get ready to rest. There's a tough battle to fight tomorrow."

Ye Mingxin looked up and saw her master's tired and somewhat helpless expression. After a pause, she nodded and said, "Okay."

The master and apprentice turned off the lights and lay down on their respective beds.

After a routine bedtime quiz, Yuan Zheng finally drifted off to sleep, satisfied.

Ye Mingxin listened to the soft snoring coming from her master's side, turned over and was about to fall asleep to the sound of snoring when her phone on the table next to her suddenly started buzzing.

Startled, she quickly grabbed her phone and shoved it under the covers. Seeing that her master hadn't been woken up, she then pursed her lips and looked at the phone screen.

She wanted to see who else would call or text her at this hour!

Upon seeing this, he frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally made the tough decision to hang up.

But then immediately followed up with a question mark.

After waiting two more seconds, a reply came.

Daughter-in-law: [Mom, Shu Heng and I are at the entrance of your village.]

Now even the last bit of sleepiness is gone!

[Wait for me to go out.] Daughter-in-law: [Okay!]

Inside a black car parked in the shadows at the village entrance, Jiang Hanying waved her phone at the cheap owner sitting in the driver's seat, "Done!"

Li Chengxiao glanced at Jiang Hanying's smug face; it seemed his mother's tolerance for the person in front of him was indeed exceptionally high.

If it were him or his dad calling to bother him this late at night, they'd probably be in for a scolding.

Ye Mingxin put on her coat and tiptoed out of the clinic. Her steps were unusually hurried as she left the clinic and headed quickly toward the village entrance.

Although there are streetlights in the village, they are usually turned off after 11 p.m.

There would only be the faint moonlight and the light from her phone's flashlight.

Fortunately, the front of Jiang Hanying's car was facing the entrance of the clinic, and Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao saw Ye Mingxin as soon as she came out.

He immediately flashed the headlights.

Ye Mingxin narrowed her eyes, strode over, opened the back door, and got in. She looked expressionlessly at the two people turning to look at her: "Who told you this place? Your dad? Or your Aunt Heng? What are you doing here so late?"

"Mom, I've noticed that what we're doing is a bit like a clandestine meeting and deal."

Ye Mingxin, using the moonlight streaming in from outside, looked at the somewhat blurry face in front of her and almost laughed out of anger. "First you came here without saying a word, disturbing my rest so late, and you almost woke up my master. Do you believe I'll hit you?"

Jiang Hanying shrank back and became obedient after her cheap master pinched the back of her neck.

Li Chengxiao: "Mom, it was Aunt Heng who said it, but she had her reasons, and she didn't know we rushed over at night."

Before Ye Mingxin could ask why, Jiang Hanying immediately revealed the purpose of her and her cheap master's visit: "We just wanted to see the patient that your medical team is mainly responsible for this time. I suspect that the person who saved her back then is very likely the one I know."

Ye Mingxin, who had been listening to their explanation with her arms crossed and a blank expression, suddenly sat up straight. "You know?"

Not only did they know, they also just killed him.

"Yes, the instructor knows too. If it really is that person, it was the instructor who injured him back then."

Ye Mingxin glanced at her son again, her expression somewhat complicated.

He paused, then said in a deep voice, "Let's match them up. I heard Qiaoqiao's parents describe the man's appearance before. He's probably in his early thirties, of medium build, neither too tall nor too short, neither too fat nor too thin, very well-proportioned. He has a red mark on his left forehead, from his ear down to his ear, but we're not sure if it's a tattoo or a birthmark. As for where the injury is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Chengxiao and Jiang Hanying nodded in unison, "It's him!"

"Are you enemies?"

"It was before."

"what about now?"

"He's already dead, the kind where there's not a complete corpse left."

Ye Mingxin: "..."

After a two-second silence, he asked, "You two beat him to death?"

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Since she was so certain that the other person was dead, and knew clearly that the other person was dead without a complete corpse, it was really hard for her not to think that it was these two people in front of her who killed him!

Li Chengxiao: "To be precise, he was struck by lightning and died."

Jiang Hanying: "Yes, yes, they've done so many evil deeds that even God can't stand it anymore."

Ye Mingxin: "...Since the person is dead, what are you doing here?"

Li Chengxiao: "But what he left behind is still there."

Ye Mingxin frowned: "You mean, the thing he gave Qiaoqiao that saved her life? Do you know what that thing was?"

Then the son and daughter-in-law nodded in unison.

Ye Mingxin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I knew earlier...

But it's not too late now.

"And what are your plans after you see the person?"

Jiang Hanying had just opened her mouth but before she could make a sound, her cheap master covered her mouth.

"Let's first see what the specific situation is and whether it can be saved."
