The Overlord Flower's Guide to Intercepting a Woman's Wife's Death and the Male Lead&

At the end of November, the island was damp and cold, but the mudflats inside the harbor had just receded, revealing a large area of ​​wet sand.

Su Xingmian wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, carried a small red plastic bucket, and swung a shovel in her hand. She looked like a pampered family member who had come to the beach to fool around.

Zhou Bingheng strode alongside him, his sleeves rolled up, carrying a bucket of fish in his hand.

The group of military wives who were gathering seafood nearby had been searching the rocky area for a long time, but they only had a few small items in their hands.

"Political Commissar's wife, we've searched this place three times, and all we found were broken seashells, nothing else."

Sister-in-law Wang wiped the sweat from her forehead and advised, "Go over there, there are many reefs there, you might be able to catch a few blue crabs."

Su Xingmian did not respond.

She felt something alive scurrying about in the mud and sand beneath her feet.

The salty sea breeze brushed against my face, and my attention was completely focused on the undulating landscape beneath my feet.

"Brother, turn over that rock." She pointed to the left.

Without a word, Zhou Bingheng inserted the iron hook and pried, and the stone flipped over with a sound.

"Click!"

A blue crab, about half the size of a palm, swung its two large claws and charged outwards.

Before it could even grasp the situation, Zhou Bingheng grabbed it with pliers and shoved it directly into the bucket.

"Wow! That's huge!"

Sister-in-law Wang was so startled that she dropped the shovel.

Su Xingmian turned around and squatted down beside a shallow puddle.

As soon as her hand touched the water, a living creature from the mud jumped into her palm.

An octopus then wrapped itself around my wrist.

Su Xingmian tore it off with disgust, and Zhou Bingheng took it and threw it into the bucket, not even sparing a glance at the still wriggling octopus.

This is not beachcombing.

This is practically taking everything from the sea.

Before anyone could react, another wave swept by.

The wild yellow croaker seemed to have eyes; it slapped directly against the edge of Su Xingmian's rubber shoes, flicked its tail twice, and then stopped moving completely.

The entire mudflat fell into a deathly silence.

Sister-in-law Wang's eyes widened, her lips twitching: "This isn't beachcombing! It's the Dragon King of the South China Sea personally appearing and throwing fish into her bucket to feed her!"

Su Xingmian had no time to pay attention to those astonished looks.

She turned her head and sensed a faint, painful life signal coming from the end of the beach, with an extremely chaotic frequency.

There's something over there.

She threw down her shovel and ran across the wet sand towards a corner of the seawall.

Zhou Bingheng immediately followed.

Behind the pile of rocks, a green sea turtle the size of a washbasin lay on its side, its right forelimb tightly bound by a discarded fishing net, its skin and flesh turned inside out.

The sea turtle's eyes were half-closed, and it was exhaling more than it was inhaling.

The fishing net had dug deep into the flesh; it was a dead knot.

Su Xingmian squatted down.

Before Zhou Bingheng could even pull out his military knife, she simply extended two fingers.

At the fingertips, a bluish-green light wrapped around the fishing net like silk threads.

broken.

The tough nylon rope is even sharper than a sharp knife.

Zhou Bingheng stepped forward, turning his back to block the view of the crowd that had come to watch the commotion.

Su Xingmian covered the wound with her hands, bringing out a warm green glow.

The gruesome wound stopped bleeding and scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a minute, she withdrew her hand and stepped back.

The sea turtle opened its eyes.

The large creature, weighing over a hundred pounds, didn't rush back into the water. Instead, it nudged Su Xingmian's knee with its neck.

Watching from behind, Sister-in-law Wang was astonished and couldn't help but mutter, "This sea turtle looks just like someone's dog!"

"Go back to the sea."

Su Xingmian patted the tortoise shell.

As if understanding human speech, the sea turtle reluctantly turned back every few steps and plunged into the deep water.

A moment later, a jet of water shot out from the surface of the water with a splash.

The sea turtle actually pushed a clam the size of a washbasin towards it.

As the clam shell opens and closes, a faint, lustrous sheen is revealed.

A nearby, experienced old fisherman exclaimed in disbelief:

"My God! It's a white-lipped pearl oyster! It's so big, the pearl is at least 20 millimeters long, the finest of the finest!"

Su Xingmian's eyes lit up, and she asked Zhou Bingheng to pick her up and put her down.

The beachcombing trip ended, and the spoils were amazing.

Su Xingmian kept only a small amount of the two buckets of seafood, and gave most of the rest to the military wives who came with her.

The military wives were both surprised and delighted, and their gazes towards her completely changed. This was no longer a sign of being spoiled; she was clearly a lucky charm descended to earth.

A wisp of merit enters the meridians.

The quantity wasn't large, but it was enough to make Su Xingmian happy.

Su Xingmian lifted her foot, intending to put on her rubber shoes herself.

My ankle was pressed down by a warm, large hand.

"Don't move around, you might cut your feet."

Zhou Bingheng knelt on one knee, took the rubber shoes, carefully patted them clean, and then held her slender ankle, slipping them on.

Su Xingmian looked down at him.

The afternoon sun shone on the man's profile, his eyelashes casting dramatic shadows on his sculpted features.

She felt a tickle in her heart and whispered in his ear.

"Brother, you look so handsome when you kneel on one knee."

Zhou Bingheng's fingers, which were tying his shoelaces, visibly paused.

He stood up nonchalantly and rinsed his hands with clean water.

His face remained calm and composed, but his heart rate jumped to 110.

Su Xingmian sensed it clearly and was secretly delighted.

The old fox is the best at pretending; this tactic of directly praising someone always works.

……

Evening, in a corner of the garrison's mess hall.

Steamed lobster with garlic, blanched clams, stir-fried crab with scallions and ginger, and steamed egg with sea urchin are all lined up in a row, steaming hot and incredibly fragrant.

Before we even started eating, Zhou Bingwen rushed over.

"Second sister-in-law! Why didn't you call me when you went beachcombing today?"

He yelled and aimed his chopsticks straight at the biggest and fattest lobster.

Su Xingmian peeled a large crab claw and casually placed it in Zhou Bingheng's bowl.

He peeled another one and put it into Zhou Bingwen's bowl.

Zhou Bingheng calmly picked it up and ate it.

Zhou Bingwen was deeply moved.

"Second sister-in-law, you're so good to me... Hey! What's going on!"

He watched helplessly as his second brother ruthlessly snatched the crab claw that his sister-in-law had just handed him from his bowl.

Zhou Bingwen gasped.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Okay, the crab roe you dig yourself tastes just as good.

Halfway through the meal, Su Xingmian put down the sea urchin shell in her hand.

"elder brother."

"We can't bring fresh seafood back to Northwest China, but we can bring dried seafood. I'd like to buy a batch to take back with me."

She counted on her fingers, calling out names one by one.

"Cuihua's little one loves sweets, so we need to buy two pounds of coconut candy."

"Sister Ma's family of four works hard, and they bring a pound of sea cucumbers."

"Sister Wu is currently pregnant, so she's taking seaweed and dried shrimp to supplement her calcium intake."

"Uncle Wei is almost fifty, his bones are brittle, and stewed dried cuttlefish with bones is the most nourishing dish."

"And Xiao Zhao, he helped me guard the house and even accompanied me up the mountain. The coconut oil here is the best for preventing freezing and cracking, so I packed a jar for him."

As Zhou Bingheng listened, a gentle smile remained on his lips.

If someone does her a favor, she not only remembers it, but also goes to great lengths to repay them double.

Others may think she's shrewd, but deep down she's the most genuine person.

He himself is a cunning and selfish person, yet he is willing to indulge and pamper him.

He took a stack of things out of his pocket and placed them on the table.

A stack of nationally valid grain coupons and non-staple food coupons, with four hundred yuan of "Great Unity" (a unit of currency) underneath.

"There's a market tomorrow morning, so you can buy whatever you want without having to think about it."

Su Xingmian's eyes curved into crescents, she clutched the money notes to her chest with both hands, and her cheeks were flushed.

The following morning.

The island's logistics department connects with the internal market, plus the largest trading street in the vicinity.

Zhou Bingheng borrowed a logistics tricycle and became a driver and porter.

Su Xingmian stopped in front of a dried goods stall and picked up a bundle of seaweed.

The stall owner was a thin, short man. Seeing that she was young and unfamiliar, he greeted her warmly.

"Little girl, buying seaweed? This is freshly caught, first-of-its-kind from the deep sea, it's really thick!"

Su Xingmian didn't speak, but just twirled it between her fingers.

The demonic energy within the meridians showed a clear rejection reaction.

The worse the quality, the more itchy your fingers will feel.

"Uncle, is this seaweed you've rehydrated from old stock?"

Su Xingmian threw it back to the stall.

"With this quality, you dare to sell it at the price of first-grade jade?"

The stall owner's expression immediately changed, his eyes widening. "Hey! How dare you talk like that, young lady? If you don't know what you're talking about, don't spout nonsense and ruin my business."

A crowd of onlookers gathered around.

Sitting on the tricycle, Zhou Bingheng raised his hand, flipped open his black military officer's ID card, and placed it flat on the back of the vehicle.

The stall owner's voice sounded like someone was choking him.

He swallowed hard, immediately put on a smiling face, and pulled a cloth bag from under the counter.

"Oh dear, I was blind. You're an expert. This is the first batch of freshly dried goods this year, it hasn't even been properly inspected yet. Look at the color..."

He opened the bag, and a fresh seafood smell wafted out.

Su Xingmian nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

Buy until the very last minute.

Su Xingmian bit into a handmade coconut candy she had bought.

The sweet aroma of milk and coconut melts on the tip of the tongue.

She turned her head and looked at the man following behind her.

Zhou Bingheng stopped the car, walked over, and helped her rewrap the loose scarf around her neck, which was chilled by the sea breeze.

Su Xingmian peeled another coconut candy in her hand, then shoved it into his mouth.

"Brother, thank you for bringing me here."

Zhou Bingheng took her hand and put it into his large coat pocket.

"Keep your hands tucked in, don't let the wind blow on them."

The two walked on the bumpy dirt road.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the towering coconut trees, casting dappled patterns of light on their backs.

One stood tall and straight like a pine tree, while the other was bundled up tightly and led around.

Behind them were four large sacks full of dried goods.

Su Xingmian stopped at the street corner.

A man in a gray cloth jacket sat on a bench, holding an enamel mug in his hand.

There was a newspaper in front of me, but I hadn't touched it even though it was on page four.

His gaze occasionally swept in their direction.

Zhou Bingheng noticed this as well and pulled Su Xingmian to his side, his tall figure almost completely blocking her out.

His voice remained steady, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

"People sent by Jiang Shuo to keep watch."

Su Xingmian shrugged indifferently, poked half her head out from behind him, and stuck out her tongue in that direction.

The man was taken aback by her boldness and paused in his movements.

"If they've got their eye on it, they've got their eye on it."

Anyone who dares to mess with her will be taught a lesson: the thorns of the tyrant flower are not to be trifled with.

Zhou Bingheng patted her head, didn't look at the man again, and led Su Xingmian into the alley in a long stride.

There's nothing to be afraid of in my brother's territory.
