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

Chapter 306 Something big happened
Having already landed on the ground, the bird stopped flying and ran directly to Tao Qiuyi.

"I don't know who they are."

Even Wei Jingyuan's lips twitched this time. He couldn't understand birdsong, but he had heard Qiuqiu say that animals' intelligence was about the same as that of a child of a few years old.

This bird's intelligence... well, a bird that crashes into a branch while it can fly is definitely not smart.

Tao Qiuyi calmly asked again, "How many people came?"

"More than twenty," the bird answered crisply.

"More than twenty people!" Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan and asked with a smile, "Guess, are they people you found, or... spies brought back by those who slipped through the net?"

“They are spies,” Wei Jingyuan replied definitively.

"Are you so sure?" Tao Qiuyi asked, raising an eyebrow.

Wei Jingyuan nodded, then glanced at the bird on the ground. "If you don't believe me, ask it what those people are wearing."

Tao Qiuyi didn't know where Wei Jingyuan got his confidence from, but she still asked the bird. The bird's answer left her speechless; it was just four words: "dressed very messily."

His clothes were disheveled, so he was clearly not a soldier. Hearing what the bird said, Tao Qiuyi frowned.

She's such a lazy person, why is there always something bothering her?

After quickly bundling up the remaining herbs, Tao Qiuyi stood up and brushed the dry grass off her clothes. She let the birds lead the way, then said to Wei Jingyuan, "Let's go, we have work to do again."

Wei Jingyuan nodded without saying anything, mainly because he felt that nothing he said at this moment would cheer her up.

He knew she was upset because someone else had come, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Wei Jingyuan was also feeling down; he knew where the problem lay, but he had no way to solve it.

With both of them somewhat emotional, Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan attacked the agents as soon as they met. This time, they chose a direct confrontation, showing no mercy in their attacks.

They quickly subdued more than twenty agents, some by knocking them unconscious, others by beating them a few times before knocking them unconscious.

Looking at the people lying haphazardly on the ground, their bodies contorted in various shapes, Tao Qiuyi felt a release of her pent-up frustration, and her mood improved.

"What should we do with these people? Should we tie them up like we did with the others before?" Tao Qiuyi asked Wei Jingyuan.

Wei Jingyuan didn't answer her question. At that moment, he was squatting down next to a simply dressed man. He rummaged around on the man's body for a while and pulled out a piece of paper from the man's chest pocket.

Upon unfolding the document, Wei Jingyuan's expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing that he seemed to have made a discovery, Tao Qiuyi walked over and squatted down beside him. "What did you find?"

Wei Jingyuan handed the paper to Tao Qiuyi, who took it without hesitation and began to read it. Ah, it was a letter of introduction from the military, stating it was for a family visit.

No wonder Wei Jingyuan's face was so gloomy, Tao Qiuyi suddenly understood.

There's a spy inside!
"What do you plan to do?" Tao Qiuyi waved the letter of introduction in her hand.

"Hand over the people and the items together, and let the military investigate," Wei Jingyuan replied in a deep voice, his profound gaze fixed on Tao Qiuyi. "It's all your credit..."

He didn't want anyone to know about her skills and abilities, nor did he want those people to come after her.

“I understand what you’re thinking. Coincidentally, that’s what I was thinking too.” Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan with a smile, changing the subject, “I thought you would investigate yourself, but I didn’t expect…”

"You'll hand over the people and the items together, but if you do that, you might also be investigated." This sensitive era, ah, it's all so paranoid. No, she, someone who has enjoyed peace and stability, has no right to say they're so paranoid.

Without the vigilance and trepidation of our ancestors, there would be no peace and stability decades later.

"It's alright, as long as you're removed from the list." Wei Jingyuan was well aware that he would be investigated after handing over the materials.

Let them investigate; he's upright and has nothing to fear, and he's not afraid of being investigated.

"Qiuqiu..." Wei Jingyuan was about to say something when Tao Qiuyi interrupted him with a gesture. She listened carefully and made sure she hadn't misheard. "She's here."

After her reminder, Wei Jingyuan also heard the footsteps, which were neat and uniform, and were all too familiar to him.

"You stay and tell them I'll go get the herbs, and then we'll go home together." With that, Tao Qiuyi stood up and left without looking back.

As Wei Jingyuan watched her retreating figure, an idea slowly took shape in his mind. He had been wallowing in despair for too long; it was time to make something of himself, not for any other reason than to allow her to do as she pleased.

Tao Qiuyi didn't know how Wei Jingyuan explained the situation to the soldiers. Anyway, she hadn't walked far back with the herbs when he met up with her.

Taking the herbs from her hand, Wei Jingyuan smiled and said to her, "Now that things are settled, let's go home."

“Okay, let’s go home.” Tao Qiuyi replied with a smile.

The two walked side by side through the forest, their mood improved, and their pace slowed considerably compared to the way they had come. Of course, catching pheasants and rabbits was also a factor in their slower pace.

As they descended the mountain, Tao Qiuyi carried herbs in one hand and a large bundle of leaves in the other. Wei Jingyuan, on the other hand, carried four pheasants in his left hand and two rabbits in his right.

The two returned with a full load of goods.

From afar, Tao Qiuyi could see that the courtyard wall in front of the bamboo grove had been completed. Uncle Chen, the village carpenter, was with his two sons, installing the courtyard gate.

Uncle Chen's second son squatted on the ground adjusting the door frame, glanced up at the road leading up the mountain, and then lowered his head to continue working.

Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head and looked this way again, dropping his tools and jumping up. He shouted, "He's back! He's back! He's back..."

"Back? What's back?" Tao Qiuyi didn't stop walking, glancing sideways at Wei Jingyuan beside her. Wei Jingyuan was also looking at her, clearly having heard Uncle Chen's second son's shouting.

Then, Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan saw a person rush out of the courtyard; it was Huang Hao.

He glanced this way, said something to Uncle Chen's second son, and Uncle Chen's second son ran straight towards them.

"What happened in the village?" Tao Qiuyi asked Wei Jingyuan, realizing he was with her before he could answer.

He wouldn't know what's happening in the village anyway, so asking him is pointless.

Seeing that she had figured it out herself, Wei Jingyuan no longer needed to explain.

"Comrade Tao, Jingyuan... something terrible has happened!" Uncle Chen's second son shouted as he ran, calling out to Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan frowned simultaneously. What major incident had occurred that required him to run and shout?

Voices came from the courtyard gate, and Tao Qiuyi's expression suddenly changed. What did she hear? Her grandfather and Han Ying were severely injured, and her grandfather was barely breathing?
With the herbs hanging in the hand holding the leaves, Tao Qiuyi grabbed Wei Jingyuan's arm and ran off like the wind.

Uncle Chen's second son only felt a gust of wind blow by, and the two people in front of him disappeared.
