111: Your task is to protect the experts.
After the man walked out of the room, his gaze swept around and met Xiao Niannian's eyes.
The man panicked internally and stared at Xiao Niannian again. Seeing Xiao Niannian wearing a military uniform, his expression darkened even further.
Had this female Soldier seen what they were just discussing?
Otherwise, why would this female Soldier be looking at him like that?
Wait, this female Soldier was more than ten meters away from his room. Even if she had run, he would have heard the movement.
She must have just been passing by.
Thinking this, he decided to walk outside first. If this female Soldier followed him, it meant she suspected him, and he couldn't let her live.
Xiao Niannian did not follow him; instead, she went upstairs.
The man saw Xiao Niannian go upstairs, paused his steps, and watched Xiao Niannian head up the stairs.
But he didn't see which room Xiao Niannian entered.
The moment Xiao Niannian spotted him, she had notified the Hidden Sentries outside. A Hidden Sentry was already tracking him, while Xiao Niannian herself entered the Expert's room.
“I just spotted a suspicious person outside. I've already notified the Hidden Sentries to track him...”
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Lu Jing nodded.
“You did very well.”
Military Doctor Shen also spoke up, praising Xiao Niannian.
“Comrade Xiao, you did very well.” Military Doctor Shen praised her using the voice of a sixty-something old man, which made Xiao Niannian laugh.
“That person has an accomplice in Room 106 on the first floor...”
“Alright, I'll send someone to keep an eye on him immediately.”
Lu Jing looked at Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui nodded and walked out.
Seeing Xiao Cui leave, Xiao Niannian retracted her gaze. She had realized long ago, when she first met Lu Jing and his group, that everyone he brought was an elite.
They were all members of the Special Forces Brigade. Every one of them could carry out missions alone, but when they were together, they would unite like a single rope... In the few times she had encountered Lu Jing and his men, she had seen many things: Lu Jing only needed to say one or two words, and his subordinates could handle many matters perfectly; they weren't the kind who only followed direct orders... Fang Qiang's voice rang out from outside.
“Captain Lu.”
“Come in.”
Fang Qiang walked in, carrying several bags of items.
Xiao Niannian smelled the sweet fragrance of mahua and the aroma of meat buns... “Ding! Taste Ability +1.”
Hearing this sound, Xiao Niannian looked at the bags Fang Qiang was carrying.
So the contents were exactly what she had guessed.
“Captain Lu, these are the mahua and buns we bought at the cafeteria.”
In the next second, Fang Qiang's words rang out.
Lu Jing took the bags from his hand and set out the mahua and buns together.
Lu Jing first handed a large mahua stick to Xiao Niannian.
Military Doctor Shen watched Lu Jing take a large mahua stick and offer it. He thought Lu Jing was handing it to him, but unexpectedly, Lu Jing was giving it to Xiao Niannian.
Moreover, Lu Jing looked right at him, ignored him completely, and gave the large mahua to Xiao Niannian.
“Thank you.”
Xiao Niannian accepted it after thanking him.
Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing again. Lu Jing took a piece for himself.
“Thank you, Brother Lu...”
Military Doctor Shen watched as Lu Jing put the mahua stick directly into his own mouth, and he froze.
“You...”
Lu Jing completely ignored Military Doctor Shen.
Xiao Niannian saw Military Doctor Shen's surprised expression and looked at them confusedly.
What was wrong with Military Doctor Shen? Why was he grinding his teeth?
Military Doctor Shen picked up a piece of mahua and took a forceful bite.
The mahua was very sweet, and the aroma was incredibly rich. It was completely different from the kind she used to eat. She hadn't expected mahua to be so delicious.
Wait, she should say that in this era, many ingredients were natural, without additives, so the resulting flavors were authentic.
Xiao Niannian chewed slowly, wanting to savor the taste properly.
They weren't in a unit cafeteria or on a dangerous mission right now, so they had time and didn't need to eat too quickly.
Everyone else ate very quickly. Lu Jing saw Xiao Niannian eating slowly. He didn't hand any more to Xiao Niannian; there was plenty of food here, and everyone knew their limits.
After Xiao Niannian finished one mahua stick, the others had nearly finished the meat buns in their hands.
Xiao Niannian saw that there was still one mahua stick and two large meat buns placed in front of her.
“These are all yours,” Military Doctor Shen said.
Xiao Niannian glanced at them, and seeing Lu Jing nod, she picked up a meat bun and started eating.
Fresh, fragrant, tender, and absolutely delicious.
Xiao Niannian really wanted to go to the cafeteria, buy more, and put them in her space so she could take them out to eat whenever she wanted later. The head chef at this Guesthouse truly had great skill.
This was a true head chef, unlike later times when just anyone could be called a chef.
She was actually a bit picky about food. However, during training, she had eaten all kinds of meals, including half-cooked ones, and even food that had fallen in the dirt, which she had picked up and eaten... So normally, as long as it was edible, she would eat it.
Xiao Niannian sped up. After finishing, she opened her military canteen and took a large drink of water.
She let out a burp. Her eyes flickered, and just as she felt a little embarrassed, everyone else burped too, making her immediately feel less awkward.
Xiao Niannian stood up and walked toward the door.
Xiao Niannian walked outside the door and stood on the balcony, observing the surroundings. Besides this Guesthouse being a tall building, the highest structures elsewhere were two stories, and the rest were single-story houses.
Of course, there were buildings further away, but they were more than five hundred meters distant. Near the Guesthouse was a County Committee Compound, and beside that was a Military Unit.
Xiao Niannian's gaze went to the distance, where there was also a river.
Behind this Guesthouse was also a mountain, but it wasn't very tall.
While Xiao Niannian was observing, she heard some people talking again.
“After riding the bus all day tomorrow, we'll reach Yangcheng.”
“Sounds good.”
“What did you say you wanted...”
“Just that thing.”
Listening to these people talk, they were mostly discussing family matters or couples arguing.
Xiao Niannian looked outside again.
The comrades standing guard at the door had been replaced, and the comrades guarding the military vehicle downstairs had also been replaced. Xiao Niannian turned and walked inside, saying.
“Reporting.”
Lu Jing heard Xiao Niannian's words and glanced at Xiao Niannian.
“What is it?”
“Battalion Commander Lu, when am I scheduled for guard duty tonight?”
Hearing this, Lu Jing replied.
“Your mission is to protect the Expert; you will not participate in standing guard.”
Xiao Niannian understood Lu Jing's meaning.
The spies' most important target was the Expert whom Military Doctor Shen was impersonating, which was why she was assigned to stay so close.
“Understood.”
Military Doctor Shen had thought Comrade Xiao Niannian would ask a few more questions, but she walked away so decisively.
“You're sleeping in the same room as me tonight, protecting me?”
