Chapter 111 When you're kissing, you don't have time to think about anything else.
As Bai Rongbei spoke, he twirled the knife in his hand, and the blood from the blade smeared onto his fingers.
He squatted down and patted the tall man's face with the back of his knife: "The woman you guys messed with last night is my wife."
The tall man's pupils suddenly contracted.
The skinny guy heard it all clearly, his mind went blank, and he almost fainted.
It’s over.
You've messed with the wrong person.
This isn't a soldier, this is the King of Hell coming to collect a debt from his wife!
The tall man's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but then he saw Bai Rongbei raise his knife again.
"No! No!" the tall man cried, his voice cracking. "Big brother! Grandpa! We were wrong! We didn't know she was your wife! If we had known, we wouldn't have dared to do it even if we had ten lives!"
The skinny man also kowtowed, his forehead slamming against the sand with a loud thud: "Grandpa, spare us! We were just doing our job for money, we didn't mean to really hurt anyone! We didn't hurt the child, we were just trying to scare him... We didn't touch your wife either, we just chased after her for a bit, we really didn't!"
Bai Rongbei stopped wielding his knife.
He stared at the tall man, his eyes unfathomable: "Who ordered this?"
The tall man hesitated for a moment.
Bai Rongbei pressed the tip of his knife down, against his other finger.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" the tall man shouted immediately. "It's...it's people from abroad who paid us to create conflict in several villages along the border, preferably a conflict between the military and civilians...As for the child's matter, they wanted to frame the soldiers, saying that their arrival caused the trouble..."
He was panting heavily, speaking rapidly: "Last night we saw those two women heading towards the brick kiln, and we thought we might as well make a big scene, hurt someone, and then snatch the child... We didn't expect your wife to arrive first... We really didn't intend to kill her, we just wanted to chase after her and scare her a little..."
Bai Rongbei listened without saying a word.
He stood up, tucked the knife back into his waistband, and then kicked the tall man hard in the stomach.
The tall man grunted and curled up.
Bai Rongbei kicked the skinny guy again, sending him rolling twice.
For the next few minutes, the only sounds beneath the beacon tower were the muffled thuds of fists and feet striking flesh, and intermittent screams.
Bai Rongbei was measured in his attacks, not going all out to kill them, but every punch and kick was enough to make them suffer for ten days or half a month.
After he finished, he took out his water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and rinsed the blood off his hands.
The tall man and the thin man lay sprawled on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen, their clothes torn in several places, and they were struggling to breathe.
Bai Rongbei walked over, tied their feet with a rope, and then dragged them like dead dogs toward the direction where the jeep was parked.
The sand was scalding hot, and the two of them screamed as they were dragged along, but neither dared to beg for mercy.
When they arrived at the car, Xiao Chen was dozing in the driver's seat. Hearing the noise, he quickly jumped out.
Upon seeing Bai Rongbei dragging two people back, Xiao Chen was stunned: "Commander, this..."
"He fell." Bai Rongbei said without changing his expression, shoving the person into the back seat of the car. "Drive, let's go back."
Xiao Chen glanced at the two "injured" people in the back seat, their noses bleeding and their bodies covered in dirt, and his lips twitched.
That was quite a fall... it must have landed right in the captain's hands.
He didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly got into the car and started the engine.
The jeep turned around on the Gobi Desert and drove back.
Bai Rongbei sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and no expression on his face, but Xiao Chen could feel that the chilling aura emanating from the regimental commander had dissipated somewhat.
The car was driving very fast, and the two people in the back seat were groaning from the bumpy ride.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Commander, do we really need to be in such a rush?"
Bai Rongbei opened his eyes: "What is it?"
"N-nothing," Xiao Chen shrank back. "I just felt... were you in a hurry to go back and see your sister-in-law?"
Bai Rongbei remained silent and closed his eyes again.
Xiao Chen understood, chuckled, and pressed the accelerator down again.
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan didn't sleep soundly in the earthen house.
In her dream, she returned to the Gobi Desert from the previous night.
The sky was pitch black, the wind was howling, and the sand stung my face.
She ran for her life, with two dark figures hot on her heels.
The footsteps grew closer, and she couldn't breathe; her legs felt like lead.
Suddenly, one of the dark figures pounced forward, a cold glint flashing in his hand.
"what!"
Su Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, her heart pounding, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
The room was dimly lit, with only a sliver of moonlight filtering in through the window.
She was panting, clutching her chest, and it took her a while to realize that she was lying on a bunk.
It was just a dream.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lie back down when she suddenly sensed someone beside her bed.
She turned her head and met a pair of eyes.
Bai Rongbei sat on the floor next to his bunk, leaning against the wall, watching her.
"Did you have a nightmare?" he asked in a low voice.
Su Wanwan nodded, still not fully recovered from the terror of her dream, her nose tingled, and tears fell down her cheeks.
She couldn't resist and reached out to hug Bai Rongbei's neck tightly, burying her face in the crook of his shoulder.
Bai Rongbei's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. He raised his hand and gently patted her back.
"It's alright," he said. "I'm here."
Su Wanwan cried for a while, then gradually calmed down. She let go of her hand and wiped her face sheepishly, "I... I was just a little scared."
Bai Rongbei looked at her red eyes, said nothing, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The kiss was light, with a soothing quality.
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then closed her eyes and responded to him.
Bai Rongbei's lips were warm, and his movements were gentle as he licked away the tear stains on her face little by little before returning to her lips.
His kisses were slow but deep.
Su Wanwan was dazed by his kisses, and the fragments of nightmares in her mind gradually dissipated, leaving only his warm breath and strong heartbeat.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Rongbei finally released her, his forehead pressed against hers.
"Are you still scared?" he asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Su Wanwan shook her head, her face still flushed: "I'm not afraid anymore."
"Mmm," Bai Rongbei said, "A kiss will keep me from thinking about nightmares."
Su Wanwan blushed even more at his words and gently nudged him, saying, "Where did you learn all this from...?"
Bai Rongbei didn't answer, but instead pecked her lips again, then stood up: "Go to sleep, it's almost dawn."
He walked to the door, glanced back at her, and said, "I'll be right outside."
Su Wanwan nodded, watched him close the door, and then lay down again.
This time, she fell asleep quickly again and slept soundly through the night.
The next morning, the performing arts troupe packed their things and prepared to return home.
Wang Xiuying and Gu Lin kept their heads down and didn't say much. The bandages on their arms and backs were still on, but they looked much worse.
Zhou Min didn't say much, only telling everyone to hurry up and get on the bus.
Su Wanwan tidied up her bed, picked up her cloth bag, and walked out of the earthen house.
Dog Egg's mother was waiting at the gate of the courtyard with Dog Egg in her hand. When she saw her come out, she quickly went to greet her.
"Comrade Su, are you leaving already?" Gou Dan's mother stuffed a small cloth bag into her hand. "There's nothing good in it, just a few boiled eggs to eat on the way."
Su Wanwan couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it: "Thank you, Auntie."
Dog Egg hugged her leg, tilting his little face up and asking, "Pretty Auntie, are you coming again?"
Su Wanwan squatted down and patted his head: "Come on, Auntie will come to see you again in the future."
Dog Egg finally let go, his eyes red.
Once on the truck, Su Wanwan found a seat on the side.
The car started and slowly drove out of the Red Star Commune.
She turned around and saw Gou Dan's mother and Gou Dan still standing at the intersection, waving at her.
The car bumped along as it drove towards the camp.
In the afternoon, we finally returned to the family compound.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Lin Weiwei rushed out of the yard.
"Wanwan!"
