Ning Xuemei had also heard about the recent case of missing babies in Beijing and didn't take it too seriously.
After the reform and opening up policy, the migrant population in Beijing increased sharply, which inevitably led to chaos in public security. In a place where three religions and nine streams gather, it is inevitable that these moral turpitudes, lawlessness and disorder will occur.
Those bastards would do anything crazy to make money.
After all, Zhou Guangyi, Tian Xinping and his wife paid close attention to the three children in their daughter Yao Jingping's family, especially Tian Xinping, who wanted to stare at the children 24 hours a day.
Tian Xinping, who had been separated from Zhou Zhiyuan for more than 20 years, is now suffering from heart disease. She is afraid that something will happen to her three precious children. Except when she attends Zhou Zhigao's wedding, she takes her children away from home most of the time. They all stayed at home, and at most they were allowed to carry their children around the military compound, but they refused to let Zhou Zhiyuan and his wife take their children out to play.
Zhou Zhiyuan and Yao Jingjing have many times thought about taking their three children out to play while they were both resting. After all, the children are getting older, so they can see the world and see the colorful world outside. It would be good for the old couple to have a good rest, but Tian Xinping would not let go no matter what.
In addition, Ning Xuemei also has to take care of Cheng Dongliang and Lu Yuandong, and supervise Zhou Zhi's studies. She is so busy every day that she has no time or energy to pay attention to these things.
When Zhou Zhigao came to Ning Xuemei with a big watermelon and a roast duck, Zhou Zhi was sitting in the shade quietly reading a book. Cheng Dongliang was sitting on a chair aside, frowning and studying the Book of Changes seriously, but Lu Yuandong was missing. silhouette.
Ning Xuemei said that Lu Yuandong is now working overtime to write the book on military technology, which is also his most important job at the moment.
Cadres came from above two days ago and sent him some relevant reference books. They also repeatedly told Ning Xuemei to help them protect Lu Yuandong's personal safety.
"Lu Yuandong is the backbone of military industry technology. As long as he has enough financial support, he can create advanced guns and ammunition by himself. These technical books he has compiled are extremely valuable wealth. We must properly protect the manuscripts. It must not fall into the hands of others! Once you find something suspicious, you must report it in time. If necessary, two police officers will be stationed here to maintain security."
The leader who came to visit Lu Yuandong repeatedly gave Ning Xuemei instructions. When Zhou Zhi heard that guards were to be stationed, he jumped out and objected on the spot.
Now my uncle Zhang Poyue has also moved here, and there is Dabai and Dahei at home during the day and night. Besides, you don't dare to have anyone come and do bad things in broad daylight, right?
She also thought about sneaking out to play when her aunt wasn't paying attention from time to time. If the guards were arranged to come, wouldn't it be equivalent to being under house arrest here.
Ning Xuemei had always been used to freedom, and she didn't feel comfortable having security guards at home, so she politely declined the kindness of the military leaders.
"That's hard work for auntie. The old and the young alone are enough for auntie to deal with."
Zhou Zhiyuan happily glanced at Cheng Dongliang and Zhou Zhi who were reading, and asked Ning Xuemei in confusion, why did Zhou Zhi suddenly change his character and become willing to read?
"Thanks to Zhang Poyue."
Ning Xuemei smiled, Zhang Poyue made an agreement with Zhou Zhi, and as long as the set goals were achieved, he would make delicious food for her in various ways.
He asked Ning Xuemei to set learning goals based on Zhou Zhi's learning situation, so that they could be achieved but not burden her. After all, she was pregnant, so it would be good to stimulate her interest in learning.
"No, there is still unfinished osmanthus cake on Zhou Zhi's desk. Zhang Poyue went to the market in front to buy it for her. Alas, this girl is so greedy. He guided her with delicious food. You can still learn a little bit.”
Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile. How could it be more difficult for Zhou Zhi to study than for a six or seven-year-old first-grade child?
Zhou Zhi was really afraid of Ning Xuemei. It was study time now. Seeing her second brother coming with the fragrant roast duck, she could only blink at her second brother from a distance, her saliva almost flowing out from the corner of her mouth. He didn't dare to leave his place without permission and come over to get the roast duck.
Ning Xuemei's discipline was very strict. She set study tasks every day. If she violated the discipline, her homework would be doubled.
"You mean, in the recent case of missing babies, the two missing children, a boy and a girl, were both born on the same day, October 30th last year?"
Ning Xuemei frowned, her face solemn.
"Zi Shi is the time of day when the yin energy is the heaviest. I heard about this before when I was in the Miao Village. There are Gu Masters who refine Gu children. Their favorite thing is to take care of children when they are less than one year old."
"Auntie, what is a Gu boy?"
Zhou Zhigao frowned and asked. Although he didn't know what a Gu boy was, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard the term, and his back felt numb.
"Gu children are similar to Gu insects. As the name suggests, children are used as raw materials for tempering. When tempering, the children's blood and food are taken. The children will be tempered into Gu children who can gather wealth, improve luck and increase mana. .”
"Too cruel……"
Banging his fist on the table, Zhou Zhi stood up and was so angry that all the features on his face moved.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Cheng Dongliang, who was sitting in the corner reading the "Book of Changes" and had fallen asleep at some point, was startled by the sudden noise, and the book on his lap fell down.
Ignorance stood up and the glasses on the bridge of his nose slipped down. He looked at Zhou Zhi, who had an angry face, and then at Ning Xuemei and Zhou Zhigao, whose brows were furrowed, and asked in confusion.
"Dad, it's okay, it's okay. I'm reading a book right now. I'm reading a book and I want to kill the male praying mantis after watching the female praying mantis give birth. Hey, hey, it's so cruel..."
Zhou Zhi raised his head and met Ning Xuemei's frightening gaze. He hunched his shoulders and sat down hastily. He grinned with a self-deprecating smile and simply picked up the book to cover his face.
"Don't work hard, just memorize pharmacology carefully. What do you think the female mantis and the male mantis are doing?"
Cheng Dongliang raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Zhi and whispered an accusation.
"Dad, you are like a crow standing on an old sow's butt, and you are saying others are bad when you are bad! If you work hard, can you fall asleep?"
Zhou Zhi retorted in a low voice.
"What do you know? We study the Yi Jing Bagua, which can make the soul leave the body. My body is asleep, but my soul is still studying..."
"Dad, your tricks are amazing. Please teach me. If I can do this, my body is sleeping, eating and playing, and my soul is learning. This is a wonderful thing... "
"Cough cough cough..."
Ning Xuemei coughed, and the conversation between Zhou Zhi and Cheng Dongliang stopped abruptly. The one who was immersed in reading, and the one who was looking down at the "Book of Changes" concentrated on reading, showing a serious attitude.
In fact, both men's eyes were darting around.
Naturally, this scene could not escape Ning Xuemei's eyes. Zhou Zhigao and Ning Xuemei were both amused by the old and the young.
"This matter is really serious. As far as I know, the method of tempering Gu children in Miao Village has been lost for many years. This kind of evil technique is inhumane and is not tolerated by upright Gu masters. But those who have ulterior motives and want to follow other ways Yes, as long as it is beneficial to them, no matter how cruel things are, they can do it."
"Auntie, do you have any clues?"
Zhou Zhigao asked hurriedly.
