Chapter 186: Sneaking Away
Qiao Mei did not return to the tent because she was compliant to Zheng Yuan’s instructions. She was not the kind of weak person who would just listen to whatever others said.
“This woman is quite interesting,” Qiao Mei muttered to herself.
Qiao Mei was so angry that she threw the clothes on the ground and sulked on the tent cot.
“I wonder what’s the relationship between that woman and Xia Zhe. This woman must fancy Xia Zhe,” Qiao Mei mumbled.
She shook her head to get rid of all the thoughts in her mind. If she continued to think about these useless things, her mind would be completely overwhelmed by them and then, it would affect her mood as well as the babies.
Qiao Mei touched her belly and said, “Babies, look at your father’s romantic debt. When your father comes back tonight, I must definitely ask him in detail.”
Qiao Mei sat in the tent for a while and waited for Zheng Yuan to leave before quietly going out from the back. For Qiao Mei, who had to go up and down the mountain every day in the village and walk long distances on the mountain road to do her farmwork, five kilometers was a piece of cake.
During this trip, she had found that the energy of the pendant was more powerful than before and the energy had also become purer. She had not properly absorbed the energy for so long, so it was time for her to come out to take a look around and find some remaining plants.
It did not matter if there were only a few. One or two would be enough for her and the trip would not be wasted.
It did not take long for Qiao Mei to reach the small stream. It seemed that what the plants had told her was true. She happily opened the cloth bag, humming a tune as she washed the clothes. The surrounding plants swayed happily.
“Huh? Are you moving?” Qiao Mei reached out to touch a small blade of grass beside her.
The little blade of grass pretended to be motionless, afraid to reveal its fondness for Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei smiled and continued singing.
The surrounding plants all felt that this song seemed to be charged with power, improving their vitality and making them grow better.
Zheng Yuan did not feel at ease and kept thinking that Qiao Mei was lying to her about following her instructions. She went to the infirmary to look for the medic and said, “Xia Zhe’s… Commander Xia’s spouse is not here?”

Zheng Yuan was still unable to articulate that Xia Zhe’s spouse was someone else. She could only feel better by thinking of him as just Commander Xia.
“No, what’s wrong with sister-in-law? Isn’t she all well already?” The medic looked at Zheng Yuan in confusion.
“I’m not sure. It’s just that she told me that her waist hurt badly and I don’t know if it’s an injury from the incident. So I’m just here to see if she came by,” Zheng Yuan said.
“Injury? That’s not something minor. Anyway there aren’t any patients now so I’ll go and take a look at her.” The medic took the medical kit and went towards Xia Zhe’s tent.
Zheng Yuan was secretly happy to have achieved her goal and followed the medic.
“Sister-in-law! I’m medic Xiao Sun! Is it convenient for me to go in?” medic Xiao Sun shouted from the door.
After shouting for a long time without any response from inside. Xiao Sun got a little anxious and asked Zheng Yuan nervously, “Could sister-in-law have gotten into an accident! There isn’t any response!”
Zheng Yuan also pretended to be anxious and said, “Then let’s go in and take a look. I hope she didn’t faint!”
When Xiao Sun heard this, he gently pushed open the tent door and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m coming in!”
After opening the door and seeing an empty tent. Zheng Yuan frowned. It was just as she had expected.
Xiao Sun looked at Zheng Yuan uncertainly and asked, “Deputy Commander Zheng, didn’t you say that sister-in-law is here?”
Zheng Yuan suddenly slapped her own thigh and said, “Oh, she told me that she felt that she was too dirty and wanted to go wash up. Let’s talk about it when she comes back.”
Xiao Sun could only nod helplessly. Just as he was about to walk out of the tent, he turned around and said to Zheng Yuan, “Deputy Commander Zheng, remember to let me know when you see her. It’s most effective to do treatment early and not to delay it!”
Zheng Yuan simply nodded and Xiao Sun left in relief.
Zheng Yuan looked around and guessed that Qiao Mei must have left through the gap at the back of the tent. She had been too careless to let Qiao Mei run out like that.
“It’s not a good thing to leave the camp on your own. When you come back, I’ll definitely give you a big gift,” Zheng Yuan said as she looked at the water storage tank in the distance.
