Chapter 320: Chapter 312: Going to Yunnan
Shangguan and Zhang Jie both leaned against their seats to catch up on sleep, staying up late into the night to prepare for their trip to Yunnan. They barely slept due to the excitement and now that they were on the train, drowsiness gradually crept in, and both started to breathe evenly, fast asleep.
The train had been running for around two hours and had already stopped at two stations. Sisi drove until her body ached, and at the previous two stations, she went to search but didn’t find these two. It made sense; with about twenty train carriages and just ten minutes or so, how could she search them all?
Sisi dejectedly returned to her car. If only Zhang Jie and Shangguan could notice her! Then she had an idea, her eyes lit up. She found a long strip of white cloth from Space, wrote a few lines with a thick brush, secured the cloth with a rope on top of her car, and then continued to drive chasing the train.
After sleeping for two hours, Zhang Jie and Shangguan felt much more refreshed, but they were still leaning back in their seats with their eyes closed, resting.
"Look, that jeep has been following our train all this time!" someone in the carriage said loudly.
"Yeah, I saw it too, it’s been following us since we left Beijing, right?"
"Look, there’s a banner on the car, what does it say? I’m short-sighted and can’t see clearly. Can someone with good eyesight read it?"
"I’m illiterate."
"Let me do it, I have 2.5 vision!" A young man squeezed over and read aloud, "Zhang Jie, Shangguan, you two bastards, get the hell off the train for Granny!"
"Who? Which bastard is cursing at me?"
Zhang Jie, who was resting with her eyes closed, instantly woke up, stood up, and started yelling, with a face that said ’don’t mess with Granny,’ and Shangguan also stood up, continuously clenching and unclenching her fists, along with their green military uniforms, they scared everyone around into silence.
It was the same young man who pointed outside the window and said, "I’m just reading what’s written on the banner on that car outside."
"Banner? The car outside?"
Zhang Jie and Shangguan simultaneously pushed open the window, a blast of cold air blew in, both shivered in unison, and when they stuck their heads out the window, they indeed saw a speeding jeep on the road alongside the railroad, with a striking banner on its roof and the handwriting looking unmistakably familiar.
Oh no, Sisi is catching up!
At that moment, Sisi also saw the two peeking out the window. She took a megaphone from Space and shouted towards them, "Zhang Jie, Shangguan, get off at the next station quickly, and if you don’t, deal with the consequences yourselves!"
The crisp voice of a young girl reached the carriage, everyone was extremely surprised, they did not expect that in this train was a young girl, chasing after another two girls. Tsk tsk, the world is indeed getting stranger.
The train stopped at the next station. Zhang Jie and Shangguan dragged their feet, reluctant to get off the train. They really didn’t want to give up; after finally boarding the train and nearly reaching Henan, it would be such a pity to go back now.
However, before the two could hesitate for too long, Sisi came aboard to fetch people. Recollecting the swift glimpse from before, she roughly remembered the location of their carriage and found them right away.
In the carriage, people could only see a stunningly beautiful girl walking towards those two soldiers in uniform with a cold sneer, as the two girls obediently followed her off the train, looking pitiful.
Sisi didn’t understand why she was still on her way to Yunnan; hadn’t she already captured these two tigresses? But why did she let herself get persuaded by them?
Why? Why?
Perhaps it was because of what Zhang Jie said, "Sisi, aren’t you worried about Tian Xinhua?" Maybe deep down she wanted to go to Yunnan, or maybe she was just crazy, with a heart too soft to resist her good friends’ pleas?
In any case, the result was that Sisi had been persuaded by Zhang Jie and Shangguan to continue her journey to Yunnan.
"I’m warning you, we can’t get to the front lines in Yunnan. Once we’re there, you have to come back to Beijing with me obediently."
"We can definitely get in. I’ve asked around—Uncle Luo will be one of the commanders on the front lines in Yunnan this time, my dad is also there, and your third uncle Sisi is there too. When we arrive, we’ll just need to act a little spoiled; they will not send us away for sure, and then we can definitely go to the front lines."
Zhang Jie smiled craftily; how could she set off without any preparation? The commanders of the western Yunnan front this time were almost all acquaintances—a familiar face does make things easier!
Sisi huffed, too lazy to bother with them. Once in Yunnan, let’s see how Political Commissar Zhang deals with his daughter?
Before they got on the train to capture the girls, Sisi had already taken out some spare clothes and a water bottle from Space, leaving them in the rear carriage. She had also specially brought out about ten bottles of high-concentration Qiong Wine, so that when Zhang Jie saw the bulging bags, she had a face that said ’I knew it’. Sisi couldn’t be bothered to explain and let the two girls handle the car while she rested in the back seat.
After arriving in Henan City, Sisi stopped by the post office to call Zhang Mingliu, asking him to request a half-month sick leave on her behalf, stating that she would explain the specific reasons upon her return. Although Zhang Mingliu found it odd, he agreed.
She also called Old Man and told him that she’d be going away for half a month for a sketching trip outdoors, so they should not worry. Since she had previously gone for outdoor sketching trips, although half a month seemed a bit unusual, it didn’t raise the elderly couple’s suspicions.
As for Mr. Yun, she told the truth: "Grandpa Yun, don’t worry, I’m just taking these two silly girls for a trip. Uncle Luo definitely won’t let them onto the battlefield. Once they hit the wall, I’ll rush back immediately. You needn’t worry at all."
Mr. Yun did not expect these three bold girls to quietly drive off to Yunnan. Should he be proud of his little girl’s courage or angry at her recklessness?
"Ah Nan, the battlefield is not as simple as you young girls imagine. Ordinary people simply can’t stand such horror. You need to think it through," Mr. Yun didn’t scold her but said it lightly.
Of course, she knew that the battlefield would not be a beautiful place—with severed hands and feet, bellies slit open, and even intestines strewn across the ground. But for some reason, her heart was filled with an impulse to go to the battlefield and make a contribution.
Yes, she admitted it—the words of Zhang Jie were correct; deep down, she too wanted to go, or else she wouldn’t be on this journey.
Perhaps her previous life had been too mundane, so in this life, she wanted something more exciting? Watching the movies in her previous life, those highly skilled women were not inferior to men on the battlefield, fighting ten or even a hundred enemies at once, leaving a trail of enemy bodies behind them.
Every time she saw this scene, Sisi felt her blood boil, wishing she could be the heroine in the movie!
Sisi genuinely didn’t understand why she had such a strong war sentiment. She clearly disliked war, so could it be that her subconscious was innately warlike?
