At the same time, when Li Mingxi was going down the mountain, Huo Jingchen also caught up with Gu Tingchen and captured him directly.
Huo Jingchen looked at Gu Tingchen, whose hands were tied, with a serious face, and said solemnly, "Who asked you to go up the mountain? What is your purpose in going up the mountain?"
It was obvious that Huo Jingchen thought Gu Tingchen was a spy, so he asked him this question.
Gu Tingchen naturally understood what Huo Jingchen meant.
How could Gu Tingchen be the spy he mentioned?
He went up the mountain just to see the antiques that were rumored.
Originally, he thought that he had learned martial arts for so many years.
It was easy to deal with those soldiers, but I never expected that I would meet such a tough guy today. I am really unlucky!
He felt a little depressed and didn't want to talk, but when Huo Jingchen saw that he didn't say anything, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart that the man in front of him must be a spy.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Huo Jingchen went straight to Zhu Qiang and asked him to take the man away and put him under custody.
Gu Tingchen didn't expect that after this man asked him that question, he would directly have him detained. Isn't his behavior too unreasonable?
This won't do. He can't let this person take him away without any reason!
Thinking of this, he shouted out, "What do you mean? I'm not a spy! Why do you want people to detain me?"
Zhu Qiang didn't expect this guy to be right even when he went up the mountain. Besides, if he said he wasn't a spy, who would believe him?
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiang glared at Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen didn't expect that this person would actually glare at him, and he became even angrier.
She kept yelling that Huo Jingchen was unreasonable.
Seeing that this person kept talking, Zhu Qiang subconsciously looked at Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen curled his lips, and then made a gesture at him!
Zhu Qiang understood what he meant and kept Gu Tingchen here.
Gu Tingchen was relieved when he saw that Zhu Qiang did not take him away.
He first let out a breath, then began to defend himself, "Comrade, I really have no other purpose for going up the mountain. I am a member of the Dongfeng Brigade at the foot of the mountain. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around!"
When Huo Jingchen heard him say that he was a member of the Dongfeng Brigade, his pupils shrank. Could this person in front of him be Zhou Dalin's accomplice?
After all, Zhou Dalin is also from the Dongfeng Brigade!
Huo Jingchen was just thinking about this when he heard Gu Tingchen start talking again.
"I went up the mountain because my grandfather was sick and had no money for medicine. So I thought of grabbing some things to exchange for money to buy medicine!"
After saying this, Gu Tingchen glanced at Huo Jingchen, hoping that he could believe what he said.
What he said was half true and half false. Although Mr. Gu was in poor health, it was definitely not because he needed to buy medicine for him that Gu Tingchen sneaked up the mountain.
He went up the mountain this time simply to satisfy his curiosity!
Zhu Qiang was standing aside and believed what Gu Tingchen said.
What's more, this man's clothes are patched up, and it's obvious that his family is not well off!
He thought to himself, this person's conditions did seem to be bad, so he was probably telling the truth!
As for Huo Jingchen, he was not interested in what he said, he was just curious about how he learned martial arts.
He couldn't believe that in this rural area, where they couldn't even get enough to eat, they still had the energy to practice.
Gu Tingchen spoke again, "Comrade, please be kind and let me go back. My elderly grandfather is still waiting for me at home!"
Huo Jingchen did not answer, but kept looking at the man in front of him, trying to see something from him.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Qiang cautiously reminded him, "Captain, why aren't you talking?"
Huo Jingchen finally reacted when he heard Zhu Qiang calling him.
He looked at Gu Tingchen and said slowly, "No, if you want to go home, you should wait until we have thoroughly investigated the matter. I hope you can understand us!"
After Huo Jingchen said this, he walked away.
Before leaving, he also arranged for Zhu Qiang to keep a close eye on this man.
Zhu Qiang watched Huo Jingchen leave and gave Gu Tingchen an awkward smile with some apology.
Zhu Qiang actually felt very sympathetic towards Gu Tingchen. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely beg the captain to let him go.
But in this situation, there are still secrets on the mountain, and I can't let him go without permission.
Here, Li Mingxi took advantage of the moonlight and rushed home. Along the way, she encountered two groups of patrolmen.
Fortunately, she was alert enough and managed to dodge it.
Li Mingxi guessed that there were more people patrolling the mountain, which was probably related to the man who was being chased just now.
I just don't know whether that person has been caught. However, even if he was caught, it has nothing to do with me.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi walked down the mountain as fast as the wind.
In a short while, she arrived at the gate.
It was still early and no one at home had gotten up yet.
Li Mingxi was about to take the opportunity to sneak into the room, but as soon as she entered the yard, she heard the door open.
Then, Niu Cuihua came out.
At this time, it was too late to hide in the space, so Li Mingxi could only pretend to have just walked out of the toilet.
Niu Cuihua walked out of the room and looked forward, and saw her little granddaughter walking towards the room from the yard.
I was wondering if my granddaughter had diarrhea.
Apart from this, Niu Cuihua couldn't figure out why her granddaughter would get up in the middle of the night.
As far as she knew, her granddaughter had never gotten up at night. What happened today?
Li Mingxi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Niu Cuihua always staring at him.
She had just come back from outside secretly late at night, and Niu Cuihua was looking at her like this. She must have felt guilty.
Seeing that Niu Cuihua didn't ask him and just greeted her, Li Mingxi quickly slipped into the room.
When Li Mingxi passed by her, Niu Cuihua clearly saw the dew on her body.
He guessed that the girl must have just returned from outside, and he was about to get angry.
What if a grown-up girl sneaks out in the middle of the night and encounters danger?
No matter how lucky my granddaughter is, she can't escape danger every time!
Then, considering that Li Mingxi was probably very sleepy, he didn't say anything else.
Li Mingxi didn't know that Niu Cuihua had already seen through it. She had just returned from outside and thought that she had acted secretly and had not been discovered.
Because he stayed up late, Li Mingxi got up late the next day.
At the brigade headquarters, Zhu Qiang came down the mountain early in the morning. He came specifically to ask Gu Tingchen.
When Li Tiezhu heard Zhu Qiang say that Gu Tingchen had sneaked up the mountain last night, he was a little bit unconvinced.
"Comrade, what did you say? Did that kid sneak up the mountain yesterday?"
There is a reason why Li Tiezhu asked this question.
After all, Gu Tingchen is usually a very obedient child. Since he is told not to go up the mountain, he will definitely not go up the mountain!
"Captain, that Gu Tingchen said he went up the mountain to hunt because his grandfather's health has been poor in recent days and he's in urgent need of money!"
