Chapter 307 Who gave you directions? That's so unethical! It's clearly a matter of turning
Before even clicking "Buy," the system's shrill alarm rang out: "Host, you cannot! Destructive talismans can only be used by the host!"
Qiao Manman shook her head regretfully, took out the talismans, and tied them to Lu Yuan's wrist.
She packed him a bundle of food and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Lu Yuan smiled and ruffled her hair. The moment he was sent out of the space, he was teleported to the place where the explosion had just occurred.
"Fortunately, the talismans I left behind weren't destroyed by the shells!"
Everything was eerily quiet; there was no sign of the enemy, no trace of teammates. The scorched earth was burning hot, and in just a moment, I felt like my whole body was on fire.
Lu Yuan instinctively chose a direction and ran wildly. Two hours later, he caught up with the surviving team members.
Looking at the living Lu Yuan, Yu Yanbin asked with red eyes, "Deputy, Deputy Regiment Commander, have you come back to life?"
Lu Yuan: "......"
"I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words!"

After seeing Lu Yuan off, Qiao Manman let out a long sigh.
Although I understand the other person's work, I still feel really disappointed.
Looking at the dark butt stains on the sofa, he shook his head and gently wiped them with a cloth and professional cleaning agent.
Fortunately, the dirt was only on the surface, and it wasn't long before it was cleaned up.
Qiao Manman took a shower in the bathroom on the third floor and changed into clean clothes. Then she heard the system say that the millet porridge was ready.
She added some red dates and goji berries, and squeezed in some yellow, mutated corn juice.
I poured some out and tried it; it was surprisingly delicious.
Keep it warm in the rice cooker before taking it to the lab for experiments.
I would work for two or three hours straight, until late at night, before finally going to bed in my dorm room.
"Tongtong, what if those dozen or so people in the examination room suddenly wake up?"
"No, host, as long as you don't remove the sleeping spell, they will continue to sleep. Hmm... it should last about five days!"
Will he wake up in five days?
"No, they'll starve to death in five days!"
Qiao Manman yawned: "You save them first, I'll feed them tomorrow morning!"
He muttered to himself, "We absolutely have to save them, but it's really troublesome. For the sake of the soldiers, I'll take it!"
Immediately afterwards, snoring could be heard from inside the room.
The system sighed, "There's clearly a shortcut, why work so hard? Sigh, host, you're really suffering!"

Meng Peiyu left the guesthouse and had breakfast at the state-run restaurant. Seeing several oxcarts parked under the locust tree, she went over with a smile.
"Fellow villager, could you tell me how to get to Qingshan Brigade?"
What a coincidence! The person Meng Peiyu found happened to be Qin Shuanzhu, who was in charge of the oxcarts in Qingshan Brigade.
He looked Meng Peiyu up and down suspiciously: "Miss, whose relative are you?"
Meng Peiyu thought for a moment: "Ding Cuiying is my great-aunt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Qin Shuanzhu's gaze was strange.
Meng Peiyu's heart trembled, and she took out a persimmon from her pocket: "She is said to be my great-aunt, but we are actually several generations apart, and we haven't had any contact over the years."
I came here because my elderly relative is nearing the end of their life and is thinking about my childhood playmates, so they insisted that I come and visit.
"Does the old man know my great-aunt? I came from far away and don't know anything about her family. Has something happened to them?"
Meng Peiyu spoke in a very low voice for the last sentence.
Qin Shuanzhu's gaze lingered on the dried persimmons for a moment: "It's so hot outside, and you still have dried persimmons? It must be hard to preserve them!"
He waved his hand: "No need to bribe me. Just tell me what you want to know! Keep this precious stuff for yourself!"
If Meng Peiyu hadn't known that the medium through which she absorbed fortune was colorless and formless, she would have thought that a country bumpkin had seen right through her.
Despite several attempts to refuse, Qin Shuanzhu remained steadfast, his resolve as firm as that of a soldier fighting the Japanese.
Meng Peiyu couldn't insist, so she sat down next to him and listened to him talk about the Qiao family.
"That's how Old Lady Qiao ended up bedridden. The eldest son was sentenced to labor reform, the second son went to the commune, the third son was sent away to sever ties with his family, and the fourth son went back to his wife's parents' home."
Of his four sons, he couldn't rely on any of them. The son Qiao Zhenbang had outside the marriage, however, was quite devoted; he worked in the fields during the day and took care of his grandmother's needs at night.
Meng Peiyu never expected the Qiao family to be in such a sorry state. They're really useless!
"Doesn't she have two granddaughters? They're both married."
"You mean Zhenzhen and Manman!"
Zhenzhen married into the commune, but unfortunately, it wasn't a good marriage. Her husband was a womanizer, and he got sick from all his affairs, which he passed on to Zhenzhen.
Manman married well; she found a military officer. I heard the bride price alone was 1,001 yuan, supposedly to signify that he was one in a thousand.
Meng Peiyu was insanely jealous, thinking, "Why is it that Qiao Manman, who is just average in every way, can have two lifetimes of happiness?"
"Is that officer from our village?"
"No, I'm from Kyoto. I heard their family is quite capable!"
"So how did you come to fall for Qiao Manman?"
"Hey, what do you mean by that? You look down on the girls in our village?"
Ren Manman is beautiful, has a high school education, and a stable job. How is she not good enough for Lu Yuan?
If you ask me, it's the man surnamed Lu who's marrying above his station with a girl from our production team!
Meng Peiyu chuckled: "You're really confident!"
After saying that, neither of them spoke to the other.
After a two-minute silence, Meng Peiyu shamelessly asked, "You still haven't told me how to get to Qingshan Brigade!"
Qin Shuanzhu casually pointed: "Just follow this road, and when you reach the fork in the road, turn right, then left, then left again, and you'll get there!"
"Oh, thank you, sir!"
Meng Peiyu left, walked a few hundred meters along the path, found a secluded corner, took out her bicycle, and rode in the direction Qin Shuanzhu pointed out.
After riding for two or three hours, and with the sun high in the sky, we still couldn't find the Qingshan Brigade.
Later, I asked an elderly woman who was going home from work, and I learned that she had already passed by.
Meng Peiyu stood under the tree, frowning: "I didn't go the wrong way, turn right, turn left, then turn left again!"
"Hey girl, who gave you those directions? That's so inconsiderate! It's clearly a left turn, a right turn, and then a right turn again!"
Meng Peiyu: "......"
For a moment, I felt like the sky had fallen.
Dry-mouthed and incredulous: "Auntie, are you sure you're not mistaken? To get from the county town to Qingshan Brigade, you turn left first?"
"That's right! My third daughter's aunt's second aunt's eldest niece is married there!"
Meng Peiyu rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "No wonder he's driven an oxcart his whole life; he's so petty."
After thanking the old lady, I ate a steamed bun and drank a bottle of milk under the tree, then rode my bike back home.
If we delay, it will be time to start work in the afternoon.
Unable to enter the village discreetly, Meng Peiyu, in a fit of pique, greeted the villagers with a smile before finally arriving at Old Qiao's house amidst their strange looks.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, a skinny boy came out of the house.
Meng Peiyu smiled gently: "You must be Kang Kang? I'm your grandmother's distant granddaughter. I've come to see her!"
"Sister, did you come to bring us food?" Kang Kang's eyes sparkled as he looked Meng Peiyu up and down several times.
Seeing that she had only a bicycle and a flat bundle, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
