The modern me and the Republic of China her

"My feet hurt and I can't walk anymore! Can you take a rest?"

Lin Mi squatted down with his knees pressed, leaning against a leafless sycamore tree on the side of the road.

"I'll carry you, little aunt!!"

If you delay for a long time, you will be punished if you fail to receive the reward.The captain finished speaking hastily, immediately pulled the gun from his back and threw it to someone else, and knelt down neatly in front of her.

"I can walk by myself, just stay away!"

The girl stood up helplessly and turned away in disgust.Except for her father and Qilan, she doesn't ask anyone to carry her.

After hearing the punishment, the snacks the soldiers had just eaten no longer tasted good.

All of them lost their joyful expressions just now, and all looked fearful.It seems that the superior is a big devil in their hearts who eats bones but does not spit out the dregs.

Qi Lan and Chen Xing were able to rescue her mother safely from the heavily guarded devil's cave, thanks to Xiao Mei's help in covering up.Three full days have passed.Shouldn't it be discovered?

For the rest of the way, Lin Mi felt a little more nervous and kept his head down.The captain called for a carriage specifically.

When the car stopped, he whispered to her that it was time to get off at Hongzhai.

Lin Mi looked at the gloomy and empty courtyard with red lanterns hanging, feeling a little confused for a moment.

There are very few maids in the house. Except for two elderly people who are responsible for the snacks and side dishes in the kitchen, there are only two maids in their early twenties.

When the maids were brought to take Lin Mi to freshen up, their eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.

First he served Mrs. Lin, and then he served Xiaomei.Now suddenly a younger and more beautiful girl came, and she took it for granted that she was General Hong's newly married concubine.

Hey, this bride has only been married for less than five days, so men are indeed unreliable.

They were also hesitant about which side to take next - the wife that the media was marrying, or this little girl who, despite being plainly dressed, had outstanding temperament and appearance?

Lin Mi was looked down upon by the two of them.When he saw the jewelry and makeup boxes brought to him, he waved his hands quickly:
"No need, I'm just a prisoner!"

The maids were stunned: How could a concubine belittle her like this?The more Lin Mi refused, the more they felt she did it on purpose.

One held her body down, and the other forced her to put on makeup.There was no time to make clothes and skirts, so I sent someone to buy several ready-made sets on the street.

After all the fussing, it was already noon.

Lin Mi was locked up in the big house where Mrs. Lin had stayed, and guards were assigned to guard it.

Near dinner time, General Hong finally showed up.As soon as we got off the bus, someone came to report today’s harvest.He changed into his military uniform and went to see Lin Mi in person.

General Hong was wearing a silver-gray gown, and his face was as elegant as before.He took off his glasses, took out a white handkerchief, wiped the lenses and put them on again.

"It's been more than a month, do you still remember who I am?"

"I hate conspirators the most. Why did you frame my father? Why did you put my mother under house arrest?"

"There is no such thing as unreasonable love or hate. Your father must first be sorry for my whole family. The whole family is ruined."

"My father will definitely not do anything harmful to nature. Can you provide any evidence?"

"My parents, brother and sister-in-law, as well as my nephew who was just one month old, and the ancestral house were all burned down by your father. And he himself is still pretending to be a coward!"

"You have no sense of propriety, justice or shame," Lin Mi stamped his feet angrily, "Don't blame your nephew for not recognizing you even when he is alive!"

"Alive?!" General Hong's eyes sparkled and he grabbed her collar with one hand.

"Hmph, I knew your father wouldn't be so kind. My poor nephew turned out to be employed as a coolie by the Lin family!"

"Li Yan did it willingly. He has the right to choose his life!" In a moment of anger, Lin Mi accidentally said a name that he should have continued to conceal.When she realized it and shut up, she already regretted it.

The man in front of him suddenly turned around.The bursts of laughter made her panic.

When he had an alliance with General He before, the other party spent a lot of manpower and material resources and went south several times to help him find his relatives.He himself searched diligently.

When he was serving in the Navy, he was impressed by the mute in the camp who was a good cook.Based on this impression, he sent someone to intercept a suspicious letter sent from the capital to the south.

The person who wrote the letter did not leave his name, but the person he sent the money to was a mute old Li who had worked as a cook in a naval camp and returned to his hometown after being discharged from the army when he was old.

A closer inspection at the post office revealed that this type of letter had been kept for three years.However, the previous letters had the word "Li Yan" neatly written on them and were sent from Lin's house on time and on a monthly basis.

Ever since the Lin family had an overnight incident, writing and sending money had been suspended for more than two months.This letter was sent from an inconspicuous inn. The writer had already left his name, but he temporarily changed it, leaving only "Yan".

Seemingly searching for a needle in a haystack, he found an answer that gave him a mixed feeling:

The nephew is not dead; it is difficult to recognize him.

"Very good," General Hong sneered, looking carefully at the angry Lin Mi, "Since this guy is loyal to the Lin family, why don't I use you as a condition to let him come to your door in exchange!"

"Despicable villain!" Before Lin Mi could curse, two maids got the order and ran in to surround her.

As General Hong left with confidence, the house where her mother had been imprisoned had silently turned into a gorgeous prison again.
On this day, He Zhai's security team was not at peace.Early in the morning, the horn was blown so urgently that it almost burst the eardrums.

Li Yan took advantage of the fact that most people were sleeping soundly before dawn, so he left his post without authorization and went to the Bai Family Medical Center in the east of the city to deliver a message.

Shi'an transferred him to one of the personal guards, originally to better help conceal his identity.But he didn't expect that Li Yan's impulsiveness and overconfidence would be self-defeating.

Usually, the guard captain is used to gathering at 06:30.

In the past week, the alliance between General He and General Hong broke down. The two armies faced each other tit for tat, and the battle was about to break out.

Although the guards guarding the hospital do not have to participate in the battle in principle, General He is worried.

I'm afraid that enemies will sneak into the house, and even more afraid that there will be a mole.The order was given before going to bed, and the meeting was advanced to six o'clock in the morning without any warning.

"Anyone who is not on duty will be severely punished!"

"Anyone with a mole will be shot on the spot once found!"

The captain shouted at the top of his lungs in the cold wind, and the training ground on the west side of the house was crowded with people.

Some suppressed the yawns that were about to escape their lips, straightened their necks and puffed out their chests.

Some were suppressing internal anxiety, their faces turning as red as ripe persimmons, and they had to stand at attention as if nothing had happened, without squinting.

"one two three four"

Upstairs on the north side of the courtyard, Shi'an was wrapped in a thin woolen blanket and quietly approached the window.

She hid behind the heavy curtains, listening to the noise downstairs, and turned on the bedside bell switch.

"Ding-dang--"

No response either.She couldn't let it ring a second time.Otherwise, the person attracted by the ringtone would be either her mother or the maid arranged by her mother to monitor her.

"Li Yan made up his own mind again?"

"Where did he go?"

No time to think too much.Shi'an put on a coat directly over her nightgown and hurried downstairs on a pair of semi-high-heeled leather shoes. (End of chapter)
