Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 305 Someone is coming again

Knowing she was telling the truth, Wei Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

"Okay...wait a minute." She'd barely said "okay" when Tao Qiuyi suddenly grabbed Wei Jingyuan's arm. "Everything inside is to be handed over to the military, right?"

“Yes.” Wei Jingyuan nodded, not understanding why she asked that.

Tao Qiuyi said, "If we open the door now, even if we only take a peek from the doorway, won't the troops suspect that we took something from inside when they come to take over?"

Wei Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his deep eyes stared intently at her.

He wanted to say that she was overthinking things, and that people in the military wouldn't have such thoughts. But he couldn't bring himself to say it; his own experience was the best proof.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan's hesitant expression, Tao Qiuyi knew that she had guessed correctly.

This topic was both heavy and sensitive, and Tao Qiuyi suddenly felt somewhat depressed.

She sighed, released Wei Jingyuan's arm, and said softly, "Forget it, let's not watch anymore. Go and notify the troops to take over, and then we'll go back."

Her purpose in coming here today wasn't actually related to what's inside.

Getting rid of these masked men will restore peace to the deep mountains, making it easier for her to hunt or find herbs in the future.

“If you want to see, we can stay.” Wei Jingyuan knew that doing so was against the rules, but if she wanted to see, he could negotiate with the military.

After all, they were the ones who found the place and subdued the spies. No one would say anything if they wanted to stay and observe.

"I'm not watching anymore, there's nothing interesting here," Tao Qiuyi shook her head.

Wei Jingyuan said, "With the two of us subduing so many people, we won't be refused if we want to stay and see what's going on."

Tao Qiuyi shook her head again. She was able to subdue these people by taking shortcuts and with the help of the birds. Otherwise, how could she and Wei Jingyuan have escaped unscathed?

She still has this bit of self-awareness.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her, his heart aching as if gripped by an invisible hand. He knew she had gone to such lengths not because she wanted what was inside, but simply out of pure curiosity.

He wanted to satisfy her curiosity, but...

To put it bluntly, he was too useless, which is why she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

"Okay." After a long while, Wei Jingyuan responded softly, took Tao Qiuyi's hand, and walked out of the cave.

Unexpectedly, he pulled her out of the cave with him. Tao Qiuyi said, "I can keep an eye on these people in the cave so they don't suddenly wake up, break free of the ropes, and escape."

“I tied them very tightly, they can’t break free.” Wei Jingyuan held her hand and insisted on leading her out of the cave.

Fine, whatever he says goes, Tao Qiuyi said nothing more.

The two walked towards the cave entrance without looking back, neither glancing back at the wall. The warlord's belongings, left behind when he fled, would be a tremendous fortune for whoever obtained them.

But in Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi's eyes, it wasn't a huge fortune, but a hot potato.

Stepping out of the cave, Tao Qiuyi took a breath of fresh air and felt completely refreshed. She said to Wei Jingyuan, "Go find someone, I'll look for herbs nearby and wait for you."

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan released her hand and told her, "Don't go too far. I'll be back soon."

"Don't worry, I'm nearby," Tao Qiuyi said, raising her hand to assure him. Wei Jingyuan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and quickly kissed her forehead.

"Wait for me to come back." With that, Wei Jingyuan turned and left. His sudden action startled Tao Qiuyi for a moment. When she came to her senses, she only saw his departing figure.

"Bad guy, a bad guy who flirted with people and then ran away." Tao Qiuyi cursed angrily at Wei Jingyuan's back, feeling a pang of regret.

The Wei Jingyuan who would blush whenever she got close has been replaced by this shameless one.

With a sigh, Tao Qiuyi idly began searching for medicinal herbs around her. She hadn't brought a basket into the mountains today, so she piled the herbs she found together.

Time passed without Tao Qiuyi noticing, and by the time she realized it, the herbs had piled up into a huge heap.

Tao Qiuyi was still a little confused; she had just been looking around casually. After thinking for a moment, she decided to bundle the herbs she found together, and if she couldn't bundle them all, she would just throw them into her ring space.

When Wei Jingyuan returned, he saw her sitting on the ground. She was a petite figure with a pile of herbs in front of her, which she was arranging and bundling together.

Hearing the sound, Tao Qiuyi looked up and saw that Wei Jingyuan had returned alone.

She paused, tilted her head back in surprise, and asked, "You're back so soon? Did you send out the message?"

"Don't worry, it's been sent out." Wei Jingyuan walked over to her and squatted down to help her sort the herbs. She felt he had returned quickly, but he felt he had come back too slowly.

Look, she's found a bunch of herbs and is sorting them out.

The message just needed to be sent out; Tao Qiuyi didn't care how he got it out. She then asked, "So what do we do now? Go back, or wait for the person you notified to come?"

When Tao Qiuyi asked this question, she looked at Wei Jingyuan with an expression that said, "I'll listen to you."

After a moment of silence, Wei Jingyuan said, "To be on the safe side, let's wait for them to arrive before we go back."

“Okay.” Tao Qiuyi nodded. “Anyway, we have nothing else to do, so let’s look for herbs while we wait.”

Hearing her say that, Wei Jingyuan recalled how, when he had difficulty walking, he and she walked back to the Wei family from Old Jiang's thatched hut. Along the way, she had been digging for medicinal herbs as they walked.

He didn't know what to say, and chuckled, "You really can't sit still for a moment."

"Waiting is the most boring thing, I'm not wasting my precious time." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi was stunned.
She was looking for herbs to avoid wasting time. When did she become so diligent? She didn't consider herself a diligent person; in fact, one could say she was somewhat lazy.

Could it be because people in this era are even more industrious than bees? Has her habitually lazy nature changed after she transmigrated here?

Wei Jingyuan saw her pause for a moment, then her expression shifted unpredictably. Unable to guess what she was thinking, he simply stayed with her.

Just then, a sharp, piercing sound came from the birds.

"Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu, oh no, oh no, someone's coming again."

Hearing the birdsong, Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan looked up at the same time. They saw a bird flying over from a distance, occasionally bumping into leaves or twigs.

"Fly slower, or you'll crash into a tree trunk and kill yourself," Tao Qiuyi warned the bird.

No sooner had Tao Qiuyi finished speaking than the bird crashed headfirst into a not-so-thick branch. Its small body lost its balance and plummeted straight down.

Fortunately, the bird reacted quickly. As it fell to the ground, it flapped its wings to land steadily in the grass not far from Tao Qiuyi.

Wei Jingyuan was speechless, but Tao Qiuyi twitched her lips and asked, "Who's here?"
