"The house is safe, and the outside is relatively empty, so no one can be hidden. Even if there is one, the neighbors will see it at a glance. Everyone in the hometown will say hello when they see it." Ondy wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes and said.
As soon as Froya entered the house, she stood by the window and observed the surrounding situation covertly. After Ondi finished speaking, she nodded to Xiaoyue.
"Uncle Ondy, how have you been these past years?" Xiaoyue's way of speaking returned to her usual state, but her name for Ondy remained the same.
Froya was stunned for half a second and immediately realized that Xiaoyue and Ondy really knew each other.
"It's not bad, it's not bad... I only have to be careful when I'm working. The rest of the time I feel like I'm retiring here, which is quite comfortable." Andy nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face never disappearing, "Since I left the business that year, When the team comes here to work, I rarely see acquaintances again. I didn’t expect you to come here this time. How are your parents doing now? "
"They are now living in their hometown and have returned to normal life."
"That's good. Although our tasks are not heavy, there are still some risks involved. It's better to retire." Andy suddenly said, "You have grown so big now and you are so beautiful. They are urging you to get married. Bar?"
Xiaoyue's expression became stiff for a moment, and she said, "Fortunately, the second elder respects my opinion more."
"Huh?" Andy was confused at first, and then relieved, "Oh, that's right, you followed that person, and ordinary people are not worthy of you! You have to set your sights higher, otherwise you will lose that person. Face. If God gives you a good match, it would be best..."
He seemed to mean something.
Xiaoyue quickly interrupted Andy's chatter: "Uncle Andy, work."
"Yes, yes, business is important." Andy suddenly changed his expression, "In the past year, there have been many more people in the village. They get along very well with the villagers. They don't usually have much contact with each other, but they will inadvertently behave in a different way from those around them. Out of place.”
"They basically move around the central area of the village, and expanding outward is the latest thing."
"These people have been divided into two groups in recent days. One group is still active in the central area as before, and the rest are scattered to the edges of the village. There are also people who went to the city to buy things under the pretext of going to the city. Later I found that they basically never came back. .”
"Now whenever someone goes out in the village, those people scattered on the edge of the village will come over to inquire about the purpose and what they are carrying. They will also follow secretly to confirm whether what they are telling the truth is true. I have been to the city twice, but they all followed secretly. I don’t have a chance to tell the people outside about what’s going on here.”
At this point, Andy couldn't help complaining: "The guy at the contact was a little confused and couldn't understand the code words. I told him part of the situation here through metaphors, and he actually thought I was talking to him. Small talk!”
"He came here not long ago and has not been working for a long time. He is relatively green." Froya couldn't help but laugh twice. "Uncle, you summarized the situation very concisely. If everyone is like you, Awesome, it will be much easier for us!”
"That's right! My sense of intelligence was quite sharp back then. After so many years of training, how can ordinary young people compare to it? You see, even if I come to such a far away place alone, I can still live a healthy life. , it explains a lot of things!”
Andy was proud for a while before reacting.
"What do you mean, your intelligence officer still has to deal with induction?"
After listening to Ondy's words, Floya remembered that Xiaoyue told her family that her identity was a secret intelligence officer under the empire's leader. She was responsible for reporting the information summarized by Night Crow, and occasionally ended up collecting intelligence like a migratory bird—— The latter is actually an excuse to meet family.
Members who are truly named "Night Crows" are at much greater risk than migratory birds, and they will inevitably come into contact with the dark side. If they are not careful, they may end up in a desperate situation.
Their true identities are kept strictly confidential, even to their relatives.
Even if confidentiality is not considered, if the risks faced by Night Crow are known to the family, they will definitely face strong opposition. Xiaoyue also found Laiko without telling her family before she became the chief of Night Crow.
Xiaoyue glanced at Froya vaguely.
Froya said without any pause: "Yes, Night Crow has been busy with matters in the imperial capital and the border recently, and is really too busy. Migratory birds cannot be easily mobilized, so we have no choice but to do it."
"That's still hard enough. But it's okay. She has been smart since she was a child. If you encounter difficulties, you can definitely solve them by asking her!" Ang Di pointed at Xiao Yue and said proudly without doubting that he was there.
"Yes, sister, she has helped me a lot!"
Hearing Floya's words, Andy was happy for a long time.
The excitement of meeting acquaintances dissipated, and Andy became serious: "How long do you plan to stay? I have a bad feeling. It's best to spread the information here as soon as possible and let Night Crow come over to figure things out!"
Xiaoyue said: "For your safety, we will stay for at least three days. Don't worry, there will be no delay. We will try to investigate within these days."
"How can that be done?! If they are so aggressive, they must be planning a terrible disaster. Maybe it is related to the attack on Her Royal Highness! You two helpless girls go to investigate. What if something happens? Even if I risk my life, I may not be able to keep you safe!" Andy was emotional.
I have no power to restrain a chicken...
Floya's eyelids twitched slightly.
"It's okay, Uncle Andy. We are just conducting a preliminary investigation and will not rush in." Xiaoyue's voice softened a bit. Seeing that Andy still looked hesitant, she added, "I'm here, don't you feel relieved?"
"...Okay, then you must be careful. If you are not confident, you can talk to me and I will check it for you!" Andy finally agreed.
He sat on the chair and noticed the sky outside before he rested for a while.
"Hey, it's already noon! You've come all the way here, haven't you eaten yet?" Andy stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "You guys sit down and rest for a while, I'll prepare lunch, so you can see how I live alone. It’s a skill that has been practiced for many years!”
"Let me help you."
"Sit down, you two have a rest!" Andy deliberately made a serious face, and then laughed, "There is no reason for you to work, just wait, it will be done soon!"
He muttered, happily walked out of the house and turned to the kitchen next to him.
"What a passionate uncle." Floya said, "If I hadn't listened to his report, I might have thought that he was just an ordinary uncle who loved life."
"Uncle Ondy used to have this character." Xiaoyue looked at Froya, "Don't underestimate him. Regardless of force, his ability is no worse than you and me."
Floya was not very surprised, she had already seen it from what Andy revealed just now.
"He is your uncle?" Froya asked curiously.
"Yes, blood relative. In the past, he was a good friend of the caravan. After the empire was unified, he took the initiative to petition to come to this distant place to work." Xiao Yue lowered her head, "Uncle Ang Di has a family, but for reasons of concealment, he can only We exchanged information with each other through a few letters and had no chance to meet in person.”
"It must have been seven or eight years, right?" Froya lamented the long distance between relatives.
"Well, so I plan to put things aside and send someone to replace Uncle Andy so that he can be reunited with his family."
"Hey, you..." Floya seemed to see a big flag.
Xiaoyue frowned slightly, raised her hand and pinched it, as if breaking something: "I will do what I say."
