Chapter 455 Sure enough, the luck is not bad
While everyone was working hard, Zhou Yimin looked up inadvertently and his eyes were attracted by a looming black hole on the hillside not far away.
The black hole was like a mysterious giant mouth opened by the earth, and was surrounded by dense bushes. If he hadn't stood at this angle, it would have been difficult to find.
The plots of online novels he had read in later generations flashed through his mind, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.
Could there be treasure hidden in this cave? But he quickly calmed down. He definitely couldn't tell anyone about this matter. Not to mention that there was no treasure, even if there was, Zhoujiazhuang had taken out such a huge amount of wealth in a short time.
It is estimated that it will be discovered in a few days. The most important thing is, after the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang discover the pleasure of getting something for nothing, will they still work hard?
I guess by then Zhoujiazhuang will never be able to return to its previous state.
In the next few days, Zhou Yimin, like everyone else, devoted himself to the land reclamation work.
He took the lead in wielding a hoe, clearing thorns, carrying stones, and encouraging every tired villager. But whenever he took a break or worked, his eyes would unconsciously drift towards the cave, and his curiosity grew stronger.
Finally, one evening, everyone finished a day's work and returned to the village dragging their tired bodies.
Zhou Yimin lied that he was busy with other things, and the people in Zhoujiazhuang didn't say much, but just asked Zhou Yimin to be careful.
It is spring now, and large wild animals will appear in the back mountain. Zhou Yimin nodded to indicate that he knew. After everyone in Zhoujiazhuang left, he stayed on the mountain alone.
When everything around him became quiet, Zhou Yimin walked towards the cave with a nervous mood.
As he got closer, his heartbeat became faster and faster. He carefully pushed aside the bushes blocking the entrance of the cave, and a tall and deep cave appeared before his eyes.
There was a damp smell at the entrance of the cave, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Zhou Yimin took a deep breath and bought a flashlight directly from the store. The faint light flickered in the darkness, illuminating his nervous and expectant face.
Zhou Yimin walked slowly into the cave. The ground under his feet was rugged and uneven, and he could step on some gravel from time to time.
His eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and the torch in his hand swayed with his movements, casting strange shadows. The cave was filled with a stale smell, a mixture of earth and an unknown scent.
As he walked, Zhou Yimin discovered some strange marks on the walls of the cave, as if they had been deliberately carved by someone.
He looked closer and found that the marks looked like some simple symbols, but he could not decipher their meaning.
As he went deeper into the cave, the space became wider and wider. Suddenly, Zhou Yimin heard a slight dripping sound, like the sound of water dripping.
He walked in the direction of the sound and found a small pool of water on the side of the cave.
The water in the pool was crystal clear, reflecting the light of the torches.
Zhou Yimin leaned over, scooped up a handful of water, took a sip, and it was cool and sweet. His fatigue was immediately relieved a lot.
As he continued to move forward, Zhou Yimin's heartbeat suddenly quickened because he saw something reflective on the ground in front of him.
He walked over quickly and found some metal fragments.
Zhou Yimin picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, and found that the fragments looked like some kind of ancient tool.
A surge of excitement surged in his heart. Could there really be treasure hidden here? He began to search the surroundings more carefully, leaving no corner untouched.
Deep in the cave, Zhou Yimin discovered a huge stone platform.
There were some tattered boxes on the stone platform, with strange patterns carved on them.
He carefully opened one of the boxes and was stunned by what was inside.
The box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which sparkled brightly under the light of the torches.
Zhou Yimin's hands trembled as he picked up a pearl, feeling mixed emotions.
I didn't expect that I would have such luck. I can only say that time travelers always have good luck.
With such wealth, there is no need to resell the materials in the store space. However, Zhou Yimin does not intend to stop. If he suddenly takes out so much money, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the higher-ups. Moreover, with so much money, if he is classified as a landlord, it will be troublesome.
Zhou Yimin also knew that the appearance of these treasures might bring unexpected troubles.
Just as he was thinking about how to use these treasures to upgrade the store, a slight sound of footsteps was heard outside the cave.
Zhou Yimin was startled and quickly turned off the flashlight, gently closed the open box, and hid behind a huge rock, not daring to breathe.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and with the faint light coming through the cave entrance, he saw three figures slowly walking into the cave.
The three men were dressed completely differently from ordinary villagers. They had stern expressions and a fierce look in their eyes.
"We're finally here. This damn place is so hard to find." A hoarse voice broke the silence in the cave.
"Keep your voice down and don't let anyone find out. This batch of treasure is the start-up capital for our next action. If anything goes wrong, our superiors won't forgive us." Another voice said in a low voice.
Zhou Yimin's heart sank as he realized that these three people were most likely enemy spies.
He held his breath and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.
"This time, after we get the money, we will contact our informants in the city, purchase weapons as planned, cooperate with foreign forces, and look for opportunities to create chaos." The leading enemy spy whispered.
Zhou Yimin's palms were full of sweat. He knew very well that he must not let the enemy spies' conspiracy succeed.
If they succeed, the stability of the city will be in jeopardy. In addition, constant natural disasters will lead to a continuous decrease in grain production, which may bring about greater unrest.
Fortunately, he had a shop space brought by the time travel, in which he hid a pistol.
Zhou Yimin quietly took out the pistol from the space, checked it, opened the safety, loaded the bullet, and everything was ready.
He told himself that he must stay calm and wait for the best opportunity to catch these three enemy spies in one fell swoop, so as to protect the treasure and eliminate hidden dangers for the country.
The enemy spies gathered in front of the stone platform and began to search the boxes for treasure, whispering to each other as they searched about how to distribute them.
Zhou Yimin hid in the dark, his eyes closely watching their every move, his brain working rapidly, thinking about the best time to attack.
He knew that once he took action, he had to succeed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Just as the enemy spies sorted the treasure into several piles and prepared to pack them up and take them away, Zhou Yimin discovered that the three of them were standing very close to each other with their backs to him. It was a perfect opportunity.
He took a deep breath, gripped his pistol tightly, stood up from behind the rock, and shouted, "Don't move! Put your hands up!"
The enemy spies were frightened by the sudden roar and tried to draw their weapons to fight back in panic.
Zhou Yimin pulled the trigger without hesitation. A few gunshots rang out, and the sound of gunfire and the screams of the enemy spies echoed in the cave. The three men fell to the ground.
After dealing with the enemy spies, Zhou Yimin collapsed on the ground, feeling both nervous and excited.
My hands were shaking constantly and I couldn't stop them from shaking, and I saw blood flowing from the corpse.
Zhou Yimin couldn't help it and quickly bought a plastic bag from the store and spit directly into the plastic bag.
He didn't want to leave any clues here that might lead to him being investigated.
Although the people killed were enemy spies, who knows whether the police station has any enemy spies infiltrated.
Beads of sweat the size of beans on Zhou Yimin's forehead slid down his cheeks, mixed with the dust in the cave, leaving a trail of mud marks on his face.
It took him a while to come back to his senses. He forced himself to stand up despite his discomfort and walked towards the bodies of the three enemy spies.
Zhou Yimin squatted down and began to search the man carefully. His hands were still shaking slightly, after all, he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
In the inside pocket of the enemy leader's shirt, he felt something wrapped in oil paper.
When I opened it, there was a document filled with dense words.
His heart suddenly tightened. He knew intuitively that this document might be of vital importance.
Zhou Yimin carefully unfolded the document, and with the faint light of the flashlight, lines of words came into view.
As he read on, his expression became more and more solemn. The document recorded in detail the enemy spies' next action plan.
They planned to create chaos and destroy infrastructure in several important towns in the surrounding area, and at the same time contact their hidden agents in various places in an attempt to disrupt social order and cooperate with the subversive activities of foreign forces.
And the treasures in the cave are the source of funds for them to implement their plan.
Zhou Yimin's hands unconsciously clenched the document, and he was in an inner struggle.
He could have simply hidden this plan, pretending he saw nothing, and continued to focus on the development of Zhoujiazhuang and his progress at the steel plant.
After all, dealing with these enemy spies may very likely bring you more trouble or even endanger your life.
However, his eyes fell on the treasure in the cave, and he remembered the scenes he had seen since he traveled through time, where he saw villagers working hard to have enough food and clothing, and he remembered the hard-won peace of this era.
As a Chinese, how could he watch the enemy agents destroy all this?
A strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He must not let the enemy spies succeed in their conspiracy. He had to do something.
Suddenly, the figure of Deputy Director Zhang appeared in his mind.
Deputy Director Zhang is the most suitable person he knows to handle this matter. He is also an upright person who is dedicated to the people and the country.
I've dealt with him before and I have great respect for him as a person.
He thought that if he handed the plan over to Deputy Director Zhang, with his ability and experience, he would be able to catch all the enemy spies and completely crush their conspiracy.
Zhou Yimin took a deep breath and made up his mind.
He rewrapped the document in oil paper, put it carefully into his pocket, and carefully checked the enemy spy for any other clues.
After confirming that everything was correct, he turned off the flashlight and quietly left the cave under the cover of night.
Before leaving, he did not forget to put everything in the cave into the store space, including the bodies of three enemy spies.
The cave that once contained treasures is now empty.
Zhou Yimin was still a little worried, so he cleared all traces and left after seeing that there were no clues left.
After returning to the village, Zhou Yimin did not sleep all night. He lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, the contents of the documents and the hideous faces of the enemy agents constantly appearing in his mind.
He knew very well that he was about to face a new challenge, but for the sake of his country and his people, he was fearless.
The next morning, Zhou Yimin opened the store with a pair of panda eyes and bought all of the day's flash sale items.
There are 100 kilograms of peanuts, 100 kilograms of apples, 100 kilograms of cherries, and 100 barrels of gasoline.
Then I had breakfast with the old man and Grandma Zhou Yimin.
When Zhou Yimin's grandmother saw Zhou Yimin like this, she wanted to ask him what had happened.
However, he was stopped by the old man and just shook his head at Zhou Yimin's grandmother.
Although Zhou Yimin's grandmother felt a little strange, she understood that the old man would definitely not harm his grandson, so she endured it.
Just like that, everyone kept silent and finished their breakfast quietly.
Zhou Yimin drove his motorcycle into the city, speeding all the way, not even taking time to notice the envious gazes of passers-by.
He soon arrived at the Public Security Bureau, and was stopped by the guard on duty at the door.
Zhou Yimin politely explained his purpose. After the guard went in to report, he was brought to Deputy Director Zhang's office shortly afterwards.
Zhou Yimin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it directly to the guard.
The guard didn't expect that just showing the way would bring him such a good thing, so he quickly took it and thanked him: "Comrade, thank you!"
Zhou Yimin knocked on the office door.
A voice came from behind the door: "Come in!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yimin opened the office door, walked in, and then closed the door.
Deputy Director Zhang looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yimin, so he became curious: "Yimin, have you changed your mind and are planning to work here?"
If Zhou Yimin was willing to come, he would apply to his superiors for a leadership position even if it meant risking his reputation, and at least it should not be lower than Zhou Yimin's current position as section chief in the steel plant.
Zhou Yimin shook his head: "Director Zhang, why are you still thinking about me? But I didn't come here this time because of this matter."
When Deputy Director Zhang saw Zhou Yimin was so serious, he knew that he must have something important to tell him: "Yimin, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhou Yimin didn't say anything, he just took out the document and handed it to Deputy Director Zhang.
Deputy Director Zhang was a little surprised, but he took it anyway, and then he couldn't help but open the file immediately.
His face suddenly turned gloomy. He read the document carefully, raised his head, and his eyes were full of appreciation and gratitude: "Yimin, how did you get this document?"
This is a very important matter, so Deputy Director Zhang must ask for clarification. Only when the source and authenticity of the document are confirmed will he take action.
Otherwise, after going through so much trouble, you will end up making a mistake and will definitely be severely criticized by your leader.
