Song Yun nodded. "Yeah, I picked it up in the mountains over there. Someone had cut down trees there, so there was a lot of firewood."
Liang Yuhang's eyes were full of admiration. Although they were both educated youth, Xu Fengying did not have such awareness. She just ate and drank with the old educated youth, never asking where her daily meals came from or where the firewood for the daily fire came from. When she was asked to collect firewood, she was still reluctant to do so. She was not active in work and put eating first.
Xu Fengying saw Song Yun carrying two bundles of firewood back, curled her lips and muttered quietly, "Pretending, bah."
Liang Yuhang was right next to Xu Fengying and happened to hear her mumbling. He couldn't help but say, "Xu Zhiqing, you and Xia Zhiqing should go collect firewood together. Remember to go early."
When Xu Fengying heard that they had to go collect firewood, she was not happy. "I see there's plenty of firewood in the firewood shed. Song Zhiqing just brought back two more bundles. There's no need to rush to collect firewood, right?"
Liang Yuhang disagreed. "Do you know how much firewood is used up every day just for cooking and boiling water? It looks like a lot, but it's used up so quickly. And we have to collect it every day to keep up the stock. If we wait until it's all gone before we collect it, and it rains, then no one will have a meal."
Seeing Liang Yuhang's righteous words, and seeing that no one else supported her, Xu Fengying knew that this matter was not negotiable, and immediately put on a smiling face again, "So that's how it is. I thought those firewood could be used for a long time, but I didn't know. Now I know. I will pick up more tomorrow."
Liang Yuhang's expression looked better. He nodded and turned back to the house.
June 10th
Song Yun asked the captain for leave again, but her face was still pale and weak, so the captain dared not refuse.
After leaving Daqiao Village, Song Yun went to the town's health center to meet up with her teammates as agreed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, all eleven people arrived. They did not gather together, but pretended to be patients who came to see a doctor. One stood here, one sat there. After everyone was present, Song Yun started to leave the clinic, and the others followed slowly.
Song Yun had chosen a place when she came. There was a small woods behind the grain station in the town, and behind the woods was a large pond. Few people went there, and it was a hot afternoon, and everyone had eaten and was taking a nap, so there was no need to worry about being seen.
The eleven people exchanged the information they had found. Song Yun took a pen to take notes, and then summarized and extracted them. Sure enough, she found several suspicious clues.
"It seems that this is a huge smuggling gang. There are so many subordinates who are responsible for transporting and hiding the goods. How many people are there in the middle line? I guess they will not only stop at the Shanghai Museum, but also at museums in other places." said a team member.
Song Yun stood up, looked at the rolling green hills in the distance, frowned and said, "Maybe it's more than just stealing from the museum."
The biggest source of private property is not museums, but gravediggers.
China is a vast country with abundant resources and countless tombs. Every year, countless priceless artifacts are unearthed and sent abroad.
In foreign countries, most of the collections in museums are Chinese artifacts. Isn't that ridiculous?
"Don't do anything for now. Just keep an eye on them, figure out their network of relationships, and find the superiors who connect with them. We have to follow the clues and pull out the entire line, leaving no one behind," said Song Yun.
"It's always unsafe for us to meet like this. So, every three days, you will put any useful information you find behind Shengli Xiaoshe Elementary School, under the third tree from the left. I'll bury a jar under the tree. You can write your information on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. If you don't find any information, don't put it there. Only put it there when you do. I'll collect it regularly."
