The captain had been paying attention to the developments here. He saw the young man squatting on the ground looking at Dalinzi with anger, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey!
I was shocked and afraid that Dalinzi would get into trouble again, so I quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Okay, Dalinzi, why are you talking so much!"
Dalinzi, who was scolded by the team leader, originally looked indifferent, but when he looked up, he saw the team leader glaring at him fiercely. He shrank his neck in fear and dared not say anything!
However, the look in his eyes when he looked at the third brother and the others was still as proud as ever!
Next, no one knew what the captain discussed with Huo Jingchen, but they separated at a fork in the road!
Almost as soon as they separated from this group of police officers, the members began to chatter and discuss.
"Were those people on the mountain really looking for some treasure? Oh, no, is there really any treasure here?"
"Who knows? Didn't the police officer just say that these people were here looking for treasure, and that's why they were arrested! But as for the treasure, who knows if it exists? But, if you ask me, there's an 80% chance that it doesn't exist!"
The people next to him looked at him with confusion, "What do you mean? What if she is pregnant?"
The man looked at the questioner as if he was a fool and said, "Are you stupid? If there really is a treasure, how come we haven't heard of it after living here for so many years?"
That’s true. Everyone nodded when they heard this!
However, there were still some people who were unwilling to give up. After looking at the elderly Mr. Li and others standing beside them, some of them rolled their eyes and started asking.
"Uncle, do we really have some treasure here? Why haven't I heard anyone talk about it before?"
Glancing at the young man beside him, Old Man Li sighed and said nothing. Instead, Niu Cuihua beside him spoke softly.
"There's no such thing as treasure! If there really were, the villagers wouldn't have starved so badly during the famine. I think this is just a rumor!"
Some people who were originally skeptical nodded after hearing this!
That's true. If there really was any treasure, I didn't see anyone in the team going up the mountain to dig for treasure during the famine a few years ago!
If he remembered correctly, all the leaves on the mountain had been plucked by the people from the nearby team, but he didn't see anyone going up the mountain to dig for treasure?
Since there was no treasure, everyone had nothing to ask. However, Li Mingxi standing nearby aroused everyone's suspicion!
Just then, after taking a look at Li Mingxi who was silent on the side, someone asked in confusion.
"By the way, Auntie, didn't you say Xiaoxi went to the county town? Then why is she in the mountains? What's going on?"
Although the others didn't ask, they also looked at Li Mingxi with confusion. They were indeed curious. Why would Li Mingxi appear on the mountain in the middle of the night?
Seeing someone asking this, Niu Cuihua felt nervous. She was afraid that someone would ask about this. What if people knew that her granddaughter had been missing for several days? She didn't know how they would fabricate a story about her!
She didn't even have to think about it to know how unpleasant the words of those gossipy old women in the village would be!
Fortunately, she had already thought about what to say!
Otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with these guys!
After coughing, she finally started talking.
"Oh, I don't know either. It's fine now, and Xiaoxi is not staying in the county town!"
"She just said that her uncle asked her to come. And now, the police are coming to arrest someone here, and they don't know the route, so they asked Xiaoxi to help lead the way. What a coincidence!"
After hearing this explanation, the person who asked the question nodded.
"Is that so? I was wondering why Xiaoxi was also on the mountain!"
When the others heard this, they immediately spoke up, "So, Xiaoxi is a hero, too. She's accomplished such a great feat all at once, and the public security comrades haven't expressed any appreciation for her contribution?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Li Tiezhu frowned. "What's the point of expressing gratitude? It's our honor to be able to help the police. Why should we talk about expressing gratitude? The police are helping us catch the bad guys, so why don't you show any gratitude?"
The few people who were originally thinking of finding out the specific details of this matter immediately stopped thinking!
Afterwards, along the way, although some people were still whispering about the group of people on the mountain, no one asked Li Mingxi again.
As for Niu Cuihua, I don’t know if it’s because she has been too worried about Li Mingxi recently, but since she met her, she has been holding her hand and won’t let go!
It was not until they entered the house that Niu Cuihua asked anxiously.
"What's going on, Xiaoxi? Why are you on the mountain? Where have you been these days?"
Old man Li saw the old woman's anxious look and knew that she was worried, but he couldn't just stand outside like that, so he spoke.
"Okay, stop asking and let the child go into the house first, okay?"
After being reminded by Old Man Li, Niu Cuihua finally reacted.
"Yes, yes, go inside first!"
As she spoke, she pulled Li Mingxi's arm and walked inside, "Xiaoxi, are you cold?"
Li Mingxi shook his head, "I'm not cold, grandma!"
"Are you hungry? If not, let me cook for you!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua was about to go to the kitchen. Seeing this, Li Mingxi hurriedly grabbed her.
"I'm not hungry, grandma!"
Niu Cuihua didn't believe her at all and kept shaking her head, "No, how can I not be hungry? Xiaoxi, you have really suffered these past few days!"
Li Mingxi shook her head, "No, no, grandma, you don't know how good I've been these past few days!"
"Don't believe me, I've gained weight!"
As he spoke, Li Mingxi turned around a few times!
Niu Cuihua looked her little granddaughter up and down, and was relieved to see that she looked the same as she had a few days ago and had not lost any weight.
"Xiao Xi, tell grandma what happened? Why were you arrested when you were fine? I remember that day you said you were going to the county town. How could something like this happen?"
"Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
Old man Li on the side was also looking at Li Mingxi eagerly. He was also very curious about this matter!
Why was my granddaughter kidnapped?
Li Mingxi looked at his grandfather, then at his grandmother, sighed first, and then spoke slowly.
Niu Cuihua exploded with anger before she even finished speaking.
"What? It's actually that girl Sanni. I was wondering why she had to act so hypocritical and come to our house. It turns out she had this in mind!"
"Bah, the third brother is still talking about us and our third brother, saying that they are missing. If you ask me, they must have done something bad and are afraid to see anyone, so they are hiding!"
At this point, she gritted her teeth and said, "If it were you, I should let the second brother arrest those two to prevent them from harming people again!"
Old man Li standing by was also very angry. He really didn't expect that Sanni was such a black-hearted girl!
Li Mingxi glanced at the two elderly people and spoke cautiously, "Grandpa and grandma, don't be angry. She didn't succeed, and they were both arrested!"
