Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Kong Qingci and the other person were somewhat surprised and suspicious. They raised their hands and glanced at their watches.

There's still over an hour until 12:10, the results will be revealed soon.

"Brother Xia An, if your intuition is really that accurate, then you are absolutely amazing."

Luo Yunshu smiled.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "Whether it's divine or not doesn't matter, but after Uncle Xie and the others mentioned it, I feel that this intuition might be of great use."

"certainly!"

Kong Qingci affirmed, "If it's accurate, then for those of us who rely on the heavens for our livelihood, you are absolutely revered."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "We don't do feudal superstitions!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but smile.

After exchanging a few jokes, seeing that no one was coming over, they decided to play some cards.

Time slips away quietly.

Before long, it was the time Xia An had mentioned. Luo Yunshu was the first to get up and go to the door.

But when the time came to 12:10, the rain outside actually stopped.

A ray of sunlight pierced the sky, like an invisible hand tearing apart the dark clouds.

quickly,

The sun was shining brightly, with only a few sparse white clouds hanging in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunshu and the other two blinked, their beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

Is that really true?

"Brother Xia, it would be wonderful if you could predict this accurately every time."

Xie Lingyun looked surprised and expectant.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "It's just a gut feeling, sometimes it comes and sometimes it doesn't."

"But if it does appear, it's actually quite accurate, don't you think, Bai Ling?"

Bai Ling murmured something, looked up at Xia An, and her eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Kong Qingci glanced at Bai Ling, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Could those so-called puppets and weather predictions be the work of a sorcerer?

Is Bai Ling really that amazing?

Kong Qingci was surprised and suspicious, but shook his head inwardly and said nothing more.

Whatever happens, as long as it doesn't harm them or affect them, that's fine.

Upon hearing Xia An's inexplicable words, Luo Yunshu and the other person couldn't help but turn their gazes to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling trembled slightly, feeling as if she were carrying a huge burden.

Xia An raised the corners of her mouth slightly, a faint smile appearing, but she did not offer any further explanation.

He looked towards the western mountains and forests, his gaze deep and thoughtful. He should be here by now, shouldn't he?

"Brother Xia An, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Go inside and sit down and have some fun. No one should be coming for now."

The three nodded.

……

After half an hour,

At the edge of the mountains and forests,

The phantom Xia Ming, carrying a gun on his back and a portable medicine basket at his waist, walked out of the forest.

Upon his arrival, the patrolmen raised their eyebrows slightly and stepped forward to ask:

"Comrade Xia, what brings you here today?"

Xia Ming patted the medicine basket at his waist and chuckled softly:

"Last time, when Xia, a educated youth, asked me for medicine, I found some and brought it to him."

"Need medicine?"

One patrol member asked in confusion, "Don't we buy our medicine from the commune?"

Someone shook their head and said, "We also collect herbs from our village, but we've never heard of anyone specifically asking for them."

Xia Ming shook his head and chuckled, "Perhaps he's asking for medicine on his behalf. These are all precious and rare medicinal herbs, not commonly seen in the commune."

"Most of these medicinal herbs are for strengthening the body, dispelling cold, and consolidating the foundation; they are not commonly used."

Hearing this, the patrol team members didn't quite understand, so they simply didn't ask any further questions.

Xia Ming shook his head and smiled, "You guys go ahead with your work, I need to go back after I deliver the medicine."

With that, he walked past the patrol team and headed towards the village.

Soon,

Xia Ming then went to the clinic.

Upon his arrival, Luo Yunshu and Kong Qingci's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

They glanced at Xia An, and seeing that he wasn't surprised, they took Xie Lingyun's hand and left.

A short while later

Seeing Xia Ming leave, Luo Yunshu and the other two returned to the consultation room.

But Xia An was casually leaning against the headboard. When they came in, he waved his hand casually.

"You all go about your business. Call me when someone comes for a consultation."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

Luo Yunshu and Kong Qingci exchanged a glance, vaguely sensing Xia An's unusual behavior.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Kong Qingci nodded slightly and replied:

"Okay, Xia Zhiqing!"

With that, he pulled the two of them out of the consultation room.

the other side,

Xia An, disguised as Xia Ming, entered the mountains and forests, quickly traversing through them.

He gripped two daggers, employing the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique with incredible speed, like a ghost.

quickly,

He then arrived outside the stronghold.

Hearing the steady breathing coming from inside, Xia An felt a slight sense of relief.

With the critical moment approaching, he didn't want anyone to escape.

Xia An took a deep breath to calm her complicated emotions and went into the stronghold.

at this time,

Lina lay quietly on her sleeping bag, completely naked, her body covered in bruises and red marks.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. This illusionary body was ruthless enough; the torture was too severe.

Fortunately,

Perhaps it was because her hatred ran too deep, or perhaps it was because of the hospitality she had received during the past half-month in disguise.

The moment I saw Lina, a thought flashed through my mind:

Lina Volkov – Resentment!

"Good!"

Xia An chuckled. He was worried that the resentment would lessen, but this saved him the trouble.

He stepped forward, looking at that small face full of exotic beauty, and felt a pang of regret.

"What a pity, but what can we do when we're on opposing sides, in hostile nations?"

"You are an enemy agent, and I am a citizen of Great Xia; it's destined that we can never be together."

"Perhaps, dying quietly like this would be a blessing for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed his dagger across Lina's pale neck, and blood spurted out.

But Lina, who was under anesthesia, showed no signs of waking up.

Xia An took two steps back, quietly watching this scene, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

To be honest, if Lina hadn't been an enemy spy who invaded Great Xia,

He didn't actually care about her nationality, nor did he care that she wasn't pure.

unfortunately,

She was an enemy agent, someone who harbored resentment towards Xia An because she knew that Xia An had destroyed their stronghold.

Even if Xia An wanted special treatment for such a person, he wouldn't keep them.

What's more, even the most beautiful woman with a grudge has a hidden sign-in feature.

Even though it's like draining the pond to catch all the fish, there are still sign-in rewards, right?

Xia An watched quietly, and the system's ethereal notification sound rang in her ears:

"Congratulations, host, for successfully signing in secretly! You have received 300 taels of gold, a disguise, a complete Russian telegram codebook, telegraph proficiency, and the talent—Immunity to Heat and Cold."

"The item reward has been placed in your Spirit Spring Space. Please check it."

Upon hearing this hint, Xia An's face lit up with joy. Had another talent appeared?

He threw Lina, along with her blood and other debris, directly into the spatial forest.

With a sudden thought, all of that vanished and sank into the ground.

It was as if it had never existed.

This time, Xia An did not check the item rewards immediately.

He directly received the non-item rewards and quickly learned the effects of skills and talents.

Needless to say, he was proficient in telegraph operations, meaning he was skilled in sending, receiving, and decoding telegrams.

This was of little use to Xia An; it was more of a dispensable thing.

Of course, you can also create multiple aliases, which, combined with that codebook, might have a surprising effect.

Xia An didn't interfere any further, but what surprised him was his newly acquired talent.
