Chapter 18

“Master, you haven’t spoken to Xiaobai for ten minutes and thirty-six seconds.”

“Master, Xiaobai is so bored! How about Xiaobai reading you a storybook? Or how about preparing food, roasting corn or roasting sweet potatoes?”

“Master, please open your eyes and look at Xiaobai, otherwise Xiaobai will be sad.”

In the beautiful Lingbao space.

The chubby little white cat kept circling around Qiao Anle, and even the two antennas on its head were tilted.

Qiao Anle felt regret for the first time…

If she had known that Xiaobai would become so talkative, she would never have installed any voice system for it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be a quiet worker?

Qiao Anle was exhausted from taking care of three children today. She didn’t have the energy to take care of Xiaobai anymore. She entered the Lingbao space to rest.

She gently lifted her eyelids and glanced at the intelligent robot Xiaobai.

Threatening, “Xiaobai, if you say one more word, I will turn off the power.”

Under such a “bad” threat.

A series of characters “XXXXXXXXX” immediately appeared on Xiaobai’s electronic screen.

It was like a zipper sealing its mouth.

The Lingbao space once again returned to peace. Except for the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, it was quiet and peaceful.

Qiao Anle soaked in the hot spring water of Lingquan Creek, and all the soreness and fatigue in her body were completely eliminated.

Not only that, her skin will also become fair and smooth.

but……

Qiao Anle placed his right hand on the stone wall of the circular hot spring.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the palm of her hand.

The few small blisters on the palm of my hand have been treated. They were carefully disinfected with alcohol and a little mercurochrome.

There were a few more red dots on the delicate white palm.

As Qiao Anle watched, a smile spread from the corners of her mouth to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she laughed softly.

These are all traces of Li Fengbei.

Just half an hour before he hurried out.

The tall and handsome man sat near the kerosene lamp.

The dim light lingered above his sturdy body, like a faint golden halo, making him look like the strong god of war in European mythology.

In sharp contrast.

The man was holding a thin embroidery needle, his head lowered, his black eyes slightly drooped, his expression serious and solemn.

He grasped the woman’s hand gently.

His eyes were fixed on her, just to pick her blisters.

The man’s palms were big, but every movement he made was very small.

Be careful and careful.

I was afraid of hurting Qiao Anle by accident.

Qiao Anle had never been treated like a fragile treasure in her life.

How can one not like a man like this?

As Qiao Anle recalled the past, a warm feeling flowed through her heart, which was even more comfortable than soaking in the Lingquan stream.

Everything is so quiet and beautiful.

This journey of hers was totally worth it!

at the same time.

Out of the corner of his eye, Qiao Anle also noticed the intelligent robot Xiaobai that was sewing and spinning in circles nearby.

Although Xiaobai couldn’t speak because of the threat, it could still move.

It was spinning in circles, shaking its head, and the antenna on its head was swinging back and forth.

All of them were trying to attract Qiao Anle’s attention.

Even the display screen above my head kept repeating the same sentence.

[Master, Xiaobai has something to say~Master, Xiaobai has something to say~Master, Xiaobai has something very important to say~]

Qiao Anle was really amused by its silly image.

I couldn’t help laughing.

In the end, I could only speak with a smile and helplessness.

“Okay, just say whatever you want to say.”

Xiaobai felt as if he had been pardoned.

It said hurriedly, “Master, how are you injured? Does it hurt? Have you applied medicine? Xiaobai feels so sorry for you! Master, put your hand in the Lingquan stream water quickly. In just three minutes, your pain will go away, and your skin will be as white and tender as before! Put it in quickly!”

As soon as Xiaobai opened his mouth, he started to talk a long paragraph.

How could Qiao Anle not know what it said?

The magical power of Lingquan Creek water is that it can heal not only a few small blisters, but even a bloody knife wound can be healed within a few hours, without even leaving any trace.

However……

Whenever Qiao Anle thought of the man’s concerned and worried eyes, and his gentleness when he lowered his head and blew gently into the palm of her hand, she didn’t want to do it.

Just keep these little red dots.

Maybe I can even complain to Li Fengbei tomorrow.

As Qiao Anle thought about this, the smile on her lips became more charming and sweet.

She patted Xiaobai’s head gently and said, “What do you know? This is not a wound, this is a mark of love! I can’t bear to wash it off.”

“It’s not a wound? A mark of love? What is that? How come Xiaobai doesn’t know?”

Xiaobai’s intelligent program is obviously very unfamiliar with the word “love”.

The originally clever little guy now looked stupid.

Qiao Anle let Xiaobai think slowly.

She closed her eyes and thought about it all comfortably.

until……

An unfamiliar force came.

Her body was originally light and airy under the lingering water of the spiritual spring stream.

But I don’t know when I felt an extra force around my waist.

Hug her gently.

Into a familiar embrace.

Li Fengbei is back!

Qiao Anle’s eyes lit up.

She instantly realized that this strong force came from outside.

“Xiaobai, I’m leaving first. See you next time—”

The words haven’t been finished yet.

There was no trace of Qiao Anle in the Lingbao space.

Only Xiaobai, who had not yet reacted, blinked in confusion in this paradise of green mountains and clear waters.

His master seems to be different from before~

In reality.

Inside the cabin.

On the empty double bed, there was a man’s tall and straight body.

Qiao Anle loosened the jade pendant she was holding tightly, opened her eyes, and at the same time felt Li Fengbei’s breath.

This time, Qiao Anle didn’t even need to wave her finger.

The man chose the most intimate position next to her.

Li Fengbei felt Qiao Anle’s subtle movements.

He lowered his voice and asked, “Did I wake you?”

Qiao Anle shook her head and said, “No, I couldn’t sleep without you coming back.”

When speaking softly.

Qiao Anle lowered her head and leaned on Li Fengbei’s chest, and then felt a slight coolness with moisture from his body.

She asked in surprise, “You took a shower again?”

“Yeah.” Li Fengbei’s voice was particularly deep and charming in the night. He said slowly, “I just sweated a lot outside. I just took a quick shower when I came back.”

The man was reluctant to dirty Qiao Anle.

What Qiao Anle was thinking about was the cold well water in the yard.

How cold it must be to have that icy water pouring down on your body.

Think about this.

Qiao Anle hugged Li Fengbei tighter and used her quilt to wrap the man’s strong body.

She asked, “Is it resolved?”

Li Fengbei replied, “It’s solved… The missing 100 kilograms of grain have been found. They were pressed under the rice ears. They might have been missed due to carelessness during transportation.”

An urgent matter that had to be dealt with overnight and concerned one hundred kilograms of rice was reduced to a few simple words by Li Fengbei.

Even the mistakes were simply simplified to someone’s carelessness.

But……

Qiao Anle felt that things couldn’t be that simple.

One hundred kilograms of rice, packed in a sack, is almost the size of a person. How could someone be so careless as to not see it?

The truth behind this must be very complicated.

According to Qiao Anle’s speculation, someone might have deliberately taken advantage of his position to secretly hide the rice that had been recorded in the warehouse under the rice ears in the fields.

Then, when it was dark and windy at night, he would steal the hundred kilograms of rice and take it back home away from everyone’s eyes and ears.

But he didn’t expect that the recorder would check it again after the statistics on that day.

What was even more unexpected was that this incident alarmed Li Fengbei, who dealt with it overnight.

So the man’s plan failed, and the 100 kilograms of rice was successfully recovered.

How could Li Fengbei not think of what Qiao Anle could think of?

The culprit was even someone from the commune’s production team.

Li Fengbei’s solution can be described as “taking it up heavily and putting it down lightly.”

Qiao Anle frowned in the darkness.

She asked in confusion, “Is this really the solution? What if someone does this again in the future?”

“I have arranged for Fang Cheng to sleep in the granary, and there are people patrolling outside at night. If there is really someone who is so daring, we will definitely catch him in the act. When the evidence is solid, we can deal with him fairly.”

Li Fengbei explained carefully.

Qiao Anle thought carefully about what the man said, and finally understood why Li Fengbei chose to “let it go gently”.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to catch the murderer, but there is not much evidence now.

Even if the person is caught, there is no way to sentence him to death.

Half of the people in the production team were soldiers and half were from the village.

He believed that people in the army would not do such a thing, so it could only be someone from the village.

In the closed social environment of a small mountain village, with clan issues involved, sometimes touching one person may affect the hearts of the entire village.

The basis for Li Fengbei to carry out his work is still to maintain stability first.

After thinking all this through, Qiao Anle couldn’t help but admire Li Fengbei’s meticulous mind and his decisiveness.

No wonder he was promoted to battalion commander at such a young age.

He really is…the man she likes!

When Qiao Anle thought about this, her originally depressed mood instantly disappeared.

Her arm, which was across Li Fengbei’s chest, moved down unconsciously.

The white fingertips first touched the man’s tight, flat waist and abdomen.

Eight pack abs!

She is here!

I can’t help but touch it.

She has been craving for a long, long time!

Just like Sanzai likes white flour buns!

However.

I just crossed the line and didn’t even get to enjoy the delicious meal.

Qiao Anle’s sneaky behavior was immediately stopped by Li Fengbei.

Everything seemed to be a repeat of yesterday.

Li Fengbei’s large palm tightly grasped her hand, preventing her from doing anything wrong.

He whispered, “Don’t move.”

Men are not allowed.

Qiao Anle has no intention of giving up.

In the room at night, there was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

She rested her chin on Li Fengbei’s shoulder, raised her head, her beautiful eyes twinkled, and her long eyelashes fluttered.

At this moment, Qiao Anle was like the reincarnation of Daji, a real vixen.

He looked at Li Fengbei and said, taking advantage of the faint moonlight that was coming in.

“Honey, I want to touch your abdominal muscles, is that not okay?”
