This time when we went in, we shone the flashlight not on the ground but on the mountain wall.
They walked all the way to the fork in the road but found nothing. They did not choose the unfamiliar fork in the road, but instead walked back the way they came out.
The yellow patches dotted on the mountain wall confirmed Qin Anning's guess.
"Ningning, wait a minute." Lu Cheng ran to the place where they fell, slammed against the cliff twice, then lay on the ground and floundered a few times, sending dust flying, and finally rolled a few times.
Qin An Ning was startled and stared at Lu Cheng in amazement, "What are you doing? It hurts so much!"
"After we report this, the military will most likely take over this place, and they'll also carefully review our statements."
Qin An Ning understood by this. She walked over and was about to bump into him twice, but was stopped by Lu Cheng.
"Don't bump into me, just say that I rolled down while carrying you." He couldn't bear to see Qin An Ning in pain.
Finally, Qin An Ning rolled on the ground twice, his clothes wrinkled and covered with dust, and then the two of them came out.
Qin Anning thought of a question, "What should I do with those gold bars?"
The things have been put away, and there is not a speck of dust beneath the ten boxes on the ground.
If I put it back, not only will it fit together perfectly, I won't be able to remove the fingerprints left on the box.
I can’t bear to do that anymore!
"I have a plan."
Lu Cheng collected all the dust on the box and sprinkled it evenly on the ten marks.
Then take a piece of cardboard and fan it nearby to kick up the dust and let it fall naturally.
Finally, the two of them went in and walked around twice, leaving messy shoe prints.
Lu Cheng didn't close the door, letting the wind blow freely. "That's enough. Let's leave it like this."
The two of them walked out, and Qin An Ning thought about it and decided, "Lu Cheng, let's not look for him anymore.
The mountain is so big, when can we find a time to go there?
If something really happened to Xu Gongan and Ye Hong, it would be too late for us to find them.
Let's go down the mountain and report the discovery of the gold mine. When the comrades from the army come, we can ask for their help. We will definitely be able to find the person faster."
"Okay, then who should we report to? Director Yao or the commune secretary?"
Qin Anning smiled and said, "No, of course the credit should go to our own people."
The two men went down the mountain, returned to the commune, and went straight to the post office.
Qin Anning called Zhou Xinping and said, "Uncle Zhou...it's like this. Can you find someone you trust to come over?"
Although Uncle Zhou is not from this military region, he can contact others.
This matter should be reported one level at a time, but Qin Anning is not an educated youth here, so it is normal to contact the parents when there is something.
Zhou Xinping was grinning so hard that he could hardly stop. For such a big thing, the credit was not small.
When the time comes, he will have to fight hard for Ningning.
"Ningning, just wait there. Don't worry. I'll contact you right away and call you back later."
"Wait, Uncle Zhou, can you ask the comrades in the army to help find the servants? They disappeared in the mountains last night."
"Why not? They were there to protect the gold mines, and they couldn't start mining right away, so they should have been able to arrange for manpower.
Protecting the people is the duty of the military, don't worry, I'll mention it to them."
Their clothes were wrinkled and a little dirty, and they looked a little disheveled.
They didn't care about other people's eyes. They were a little tired after walking up the mountain, so they sat aside and waited.
About half an hour later, Zhou Xinping called.
"Ningning, the troops closest to you have already set off. Explain the situation to them clearly. Don't worry about anything else. I will help you keep an eye on it."
Nowadays, all calls need to be transferred, so some things cannot be said too clearly.
Qin Anning understood that Zhou Xinping wanted to give her credit.
But she is neither a soldier nor a politician, so she really doesn't care whether she has made any contributions or not.
"Uncle Zhou, I don't mind. Don't mistreat yourself."
There was another hearty laugh over there, "Uncle knows."
After finishing their work, the two felt hungry.
When I looked at the time, it was already past one in the afternoon. There was nothing good to eat in the state-owned restaurant at this time.
The two looked at each other and rode their bikes out.
When they arrived at a deserted place, they entered the space with the car and the people.
"I've saved a lot of food. Take a look and see what you want to eat."
The kitchen shelves are filled with delicious meals, including boiled fish, spicy chicken, sweet and sour pork, eight-treasure duck, crystal pork elbow, poached chicken...all kinds of dishes from the north and south.
Strawberries, peaches, watermelons, pineapples, grapes, mangoes...
There are also milk teas of various flavors.
Lu Cheng glanced at the storage room full of food and grains and asked in confusion, "Why did you prepare so much?"
“In modern times, my parents are both researchers and have little time to spend with me, but they are willing to give me money.
When I was eighteen, I accidentally opened a space and was influenced by novels. I saved all my pocket money in it to buy food and daily necessities.
Qin Anning took a serving of spicy chicken and a serving of stir-fried choy sum and said, "Eat quickly, we have to go back and wait for someone later."
Lu Cheng took a portion of Eight Treasure Duck and said, "I haven't eaten this for a long time."
The two sat down at the dining table and chatted while eating.
Lu Cheng remembered Qin An Ning asking him to slaughter pigs, so he said, "We can't kill all those pigs, cattle, and sheep at once. If there are so many on the black market at once, it's easy for something to go wrong."
Although the storage room can be used to store it, it is quite disgusting to have a pile of blood lying there.
"Well, safety is the most important thing, so let's do it step by step.
After the autumn harvest, I'll kill two cows and make some beef jerky for my uncle and his family."
