Chapter 270 "Fire Phoenix" has grown from a single person into a gang.
Besides the villagers of Liujiatun being curious about what these soldiers were doing, those with ulterior motives were naturally curious as well! So the couple discussed it and decided to take advantage of the situation to eliminate those hidden spies.
After discovering the hidden cave, the experts first entered to assess the danger of the biochemical agents. After they safely transferred everything inside, Li Chengsong deliberately leaked the news, saying that they had found something that the Japanese had hidden back then in the back mountains of Liujiatun, which was very valuable.
Li Chengsong deliberately transferred some soldiers from the mountain and dispatched several vehicles and a company of men to escort the "boxes" to Yan City, setting up an ambush along the way. Sure enough, the enemy agents responded and intercepted them halfway, only to be wiped out by the ambushing soldiers!
For this operation, the soldiers dug pits all over the mountain, but that wouldn't do. So they left a company of men to fill the pits and plant trees, with Liu Xiaohe still providing them with food and water. They stayed on the mountain to handle the aftermath.
After everything was settled and the soldiers withdrew, the villagers rushed up the mountain in droves. Many of them carried shovels and pickaxes. They had heard that the Japanese had hidden and looted treasures in the mountains, and they all wanted to try their luck and maybe dig up some gold and silver!
Haha! Of course, it was all for nothing. What a pity for the land behind Liujiatun, it's now full of potholes of all sizes!
When Zeng Rui was first sent to kindergarten, he cried and wanted to find his mother and aunt. But after a few days, this wild boy made several good friends in his class.
They played games and went down the slide together, quickly becoming so engrossed in their activities that they didn't want to leave. When his parents finished their work and came to pick him up, the little guy refused to go.
Liu Xiaohe is a very motivated person. These days, her son has learned to assemble tangrams, fold paper, draw, write, and do arithmetic at kindergarten. She thinks that sending her son to kindergarten here is much better than letting him run around the village at home.
So she discussed with her husband about renting a house in the city first, then living in the county with their child, so that the child could go to school there in the future.
She heard that speculation and profiteering are no longer heavily regulated, and small-scale buying and selling won't get you labeled a capitalist roader.
But what could she do? She thought of her third uncle's eldest sister, Yuheng, who was capable. If she asked her for advice, she could at least earn enough to cover the rent and food expenses.
She discussed this matter with Tong Yuheng, who was staying at her parents' home to rest during her pregnancy. Tong Yuheng was very supportive and suggested that she either start a food business or a small business selling clothes, accessories, or cosmetics.
After much thought, Liu Xiaohe chose to make jewelry. The stall didn't require a large space, and she could do the handicrafts herself without getting tired.
There's a large wholesale market about 100 miles away that sells fabrics, clothing, and jewelry materials. I'd like to go there sometime to broaden my horizons, see what they have, and maybe buy some finished or semi-finished products.
These days, she cooked for the troops. Tong Yuheng gave her 300 yuan for her labor, 80 yuan to her brother-in-law, 150 yuan to her mother and sister-in-law's families, and kept 70 yuan for herself.
Everyone thought she gave too much, but she said that the rice, noodles and seasonings left by the army were enough for her family to eat for more than a month, so she was already getting a good deal and it was only right to take less money.
With the family living in harmony, they could work together on any good things that happened in the future. Her brother-in-law and his wife respected their sister-in-law even more; her words carried more weight than his brother's.
Tong Yuheng lived a very comfortable life at her parents' home, where she was waited on hand and foot. If she wanted to retreat into her spatial dimension, she would simply tell her family, bring a bunch of delicious food prepared by her mother, and then go about her business.
She had almost mastered that kind of closed formation, but she needed to advance to the Golden Core stage to have enough spiritual power to break it.
She was pregnant, so advancing in the cultivation level in the short term was impossible. Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry to cultivate spiritual power and magic. Instead, she focused her attention on the art of talismans.
She was greatly inspired when she saw her two subordinate Taoist sorcerers using talismans to dispel resentment.
They relied entirely on cinnabar to outline the diagrams, which interacted with the energy in the surrounding air to achieve the purpose of exorcising evil spirits. In this world where spiritual energy is barely perceptible, this is quite remarkable.
She uses a spatial technique to draw talismans, and the ink for these talismans must be prepared from over a dozen minerals and medicinal herbs, including demon beast blood and cinnabar, which is extremely troublesome. When using them, she must activate them with her own spiritual power, and naturally, their power is immense.
This means that once the talisman is made, only she can use it. She wouldn't give something so powerful to the cultivators in Flying Immortal City so easily.
If she could create an efficient talisman without using her own spiritual power to activate it, how could she make one using ordinary cinnabar paper available on the market?
If this research is successful, it can be taught to others, and my sisters will gain another powerful skill.
She could also pass on her skills to her subordinates as a reward. She sensed that the two men were still too weak, and their abilities were insufficient to deal with the large number of demons and monsters that would flood in once the area opened up!
Tong Yuheng intermittently secluded himself at home, and winter soon arrived. Yuyao also left Chen Linfeng's army unit and flew back to Yan City. Linglong, who was on leave, took over driving her back.
Linglong will graduate next summer and return to the military hospital on the island to continue her service. They aim to improve themselves through practical experience and aspire to become outstanding surgical experts.
Xiao Wu is still abroad, but she was very happy to learn that her two older sisters were pregnant. She sent back many gifts to her two nieces and nephews, filling an entire room.
In the overseas underworld, she made the name "Fire Phoenix" even more renowned. Fire Phoenix is both righteous and evil, and her gender is ambiguous. She is highly skilled in martial arts, ruthless in her methods, and also has excellent leadership abilities.
"Fire Phoenix" has grown from a single person into a gang, and she's not in a hurry to expand her power, seemingly planning to remain in a secluded corner. After a period of rapid expansion at its inception, Fire Phoenix has begun to tighten its belt. But anyone who dares to provoke "Fire Phoenix" will pay a heavy price.
Tong Yuhan occasionally used Dong Wuyou's name to cause trouble, reminding everyone not to forget this person, and the pills were still being auctioned off through the Qiu family.
For the Tong family, who have already achieved financial freedom, money is definitely not their goal anymore. What they now hope for is for their daughters to be safe and well, and for the fourth generation of the Tong family to be born healthy.
Tong Yuheng and Tong Yuyao, two pregnant women, were at home when Tong Jiahui, who was on holiday, spent her days making all sorts of different dishes for her daughters. No one would have guessed that this middle school teacher, who was nearly fifty years old, was actually a martial arts master!
