Chapter 228 Play hard to get
A little child came in from outside and called out that.

"What? During the Chinese New Year, the captain is really dedicated."

Huang Chunjing was speechless. Even though it was in the village, it couldn't possibly be that they didn't rest for 365 days a year, could it?

"I'll go check it out, just in case something's wrong."

"Okay, do you want me to come with you?"

Feng Jinghuan was on good terms with him, so he asked one more question.

"No need, I can manage myself, you guys keep wrapping."

"Okay, that's about done. Come back soon, let's play cards together."

"Ok!"

Jiang Shi'an left, and Ji Shuyin didn't take it seriously.

During the Lunar New Year, many people set off firecrackers.

Although not many, there are some.

Jiang Shi'an usually behaves well, so they probably asked him to go and help out in case of a fire or something!

The reason I think this is because in my dream, the Shanquangou production team would notify many people every year during the Spring Festival.

It's normal to call on those who went to help put out the fire if something goes wrong.

"Alright, I think that's enough."

"Let's just leave it here, let's go play cards."

In winter, when it's cold, it's fine to leave dumplings outside.

"Row."

We have enough people even without Jiang Shi'an coming back.

I just finished playing two rounds here, and there's noise again at the door.

Regardless of the usual time of year, during the Lunar New Year, all the children will go from street to street in groups.

However, Feng Jinghuan didn't get close to anyone here, just a few people from their educated youth settlement.

The person coming in from the opposite direction was a girl named Xiaoxue, who was leading her younger sister.

“Ji Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing says you need to go out for a while.”

Jiang Shi'an?
"What's up with him?"

Xiaoxue shook her head.

"I don't know either, I just wanted you to come over for a bit."

Huang Chunjing, who was listening nearby, was also a little puzzled.

"Is something really wrong? Let's go check it out together."

“No, Jiang Zhiqing said you have to go by yourself.”

"They even told you to hurry up, saying there's a good show you'll love to watch."

Could it be related to Tang Weiyu?
What interests me right now is that she and Gu Yuncheng are both unlucky, and she has to go there by herself; that's probably how it is.

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

Here, have some candy!

She took two fruit candies out of her pocket and gave one to each of them.

"You guys have fun first, I'll go check what's going on and come back later."

"Shuyin, do you really not want us to go with you?"
That Jiang Shi'an, I don't know what he's up to, really!

"It's alright, don't worry, the road is well-lit."

Electric lights are not yet widespread, and in the Liushuyazi production team, kerosene lamps are still the most common form of lighting.

Of course, there were also candles.

It's Chinese New Year now, and every household lights up their lamps; every room is lit.

Lanterns are also hung at the main entrance.

Every alleyway, wherever there are people, is brightly lit.

"Alright, you two go and come back quickly!"

"it is good."

Ji Shuyin followed Xiaoxue out the door and headed north.

After walking for a while, there were almost no houses left.

“Ji, the educated youth Jiang said that you should go to that courtyard.”

That courtyard seems to be abandoned, so why are the lights on today?

"Xiaoxue, did Jiang Zhiqing herself tell you this? Are you sure it's from this courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl nodded.

"It's this courtyard, but..."

"Ji Shuyin, what are you doing here?" A sharp voice shattered the night sky.

Several days had passed since the last beating, and this was the first time she had seen Tang Weiyu come out.

"What's wrong? Are you asking for trouble again?"

"Hmph, you wait, I will definitely avenge this."

You still haven't answered me, what are you doing here?"

Seeing her sharp and stern expression, Ji Shuyin also began to have doubts.

"What do you mean? Why are you here?"

She returned the same question with a similar one.

Tang Weiyu was stunned for a moment, and then she started to get angry again.

"What do you mean? Why does the captain want me to go over there?"
"Are you trying to get me to reconcile with you? Absolutely not! Forget about it!"

So, she was summoned by the brigade leader.

Jiang Shi'an was also summoned by the captain, so why was she asked to come here?
I feel a little confused. What could be wrong?

Before she could figure it out, Tang Weiyu had already passed her and walked forward.

"Ji, you go find Jiang, we'll head back now."

Xiaoxue took her younger sister's hand and said goodbye.

Ji Shuyin breathed a sigh of relief, wondering what Jiang Shi'an was up to.

Let's go take a look; it's most likely at the behest of the brigade leader.

This involves Tang Weiyu again. Could it be related to Zhao Yuexiang?

It's possible that he deliberately let his daughter overhear Gu Yuncheng's inner thoughts during the day, and now she's come to find out what's going on.

When we arrived at the small courtyard, the door to the house was ajar.

There were figures inside the room, and the sound of people talking quietly.

I didn't see Tang Weiyu; she probably went inside.

I sighed and went inside anyway.

Upon entering, you'll find the outer room, which is the kitchen.

Just as we were about to continue walking into the west room, the lights inside suddenly went out.

No sooner said than done, the door was pulled shut in an instant.

Ji Shuyin knew something was wrong and quickly ran to the door, but the door was already locked.

"Ji Shuyin, I told you, you can't be that lucky every time."

Enjoy this New Year to the fullest!

"Tang Weiyu, are you crazy? Let me out of here!"

The other party, of course, didn't take it seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll open the door for you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he laughed.

"Don't even think about calling someone to rescue you. This place is so remote, and this house is haunted."

Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you. I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible.

After saying that, the sound of leaving followed.

"Hello, hello~"

Damn it, I was careless and got hurt by Tang Weiyu.

What does she mean?
Did they leave her in an empty house overnight, hoping to freeze her to death?

Or do you want to teach her a lesson?
Just then, a sweet, cloying smell hit my nostrils.

"Something's wrong..."

Ji Shuyin quickly covered her nose with her sleeve and slipped into the spatial dimension...

Jiang Shi'an returned to Feng Jinghuan's house, bringing with him a few frozen pears.

"Where's Shuyin? Didn't you come back together?"

No, where did she go?

He panicked when he couldn't see anyone.

The remaining few people also realized something was wrong and put down their cards.

"Didn't you ask Xiaoxue to come and call her? And you won't let us go with her?"

"Is something wrong with the battalion commander?"

"No, I didn't send anyone to call her at all."

The battalion commander didn't call me. I went to the battalion headquarters, but no one was there. I went to his house, but he said it wasn't true.
