Chapter 79: Domestic Violence in the Era 34
Five people came down one after another from the small pit, making it packed with people.
The corners of Lin Xia's mouth twitched, and she almost squeezed into Zhong Wenyi's arms.
Smelling the soapberry scent on the other person, Lin Xia's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhong Wenyi looked down at the top of the head of the person in front of him and wanted to laugh. Having more people around would not be a bad thing.
After thinking about serious things several times in his mind, he forced himself to stop the smile in his eyes and came out to take charge of the situation.
"Everyone, listen to me. We don't know what's going on inside. Don't rush in. I'll go in and take a look at the situation first."
There were three men present, one of whom had a foot injury, so the two grown men naturally took responsibility. Li Lixin expressed his desire to go in together, and Lin Xia also wanted to go in and take a look. Zhong Wenyi glared at Lin Xia who was causing trouble, and finally he and Li Lixin made a torch and went inside.
The material for the torches was provided by Gu Zhaozhao, who said that he brought the oil in preparation for a picnic outside.
Ten minutes later, the two men who had been waiting outside anxiously finally came out, with Li Lixin's face filled with unconcealable excitement.
"It's true, there is really a lot of gold in it!" Li Lixin couldn't hold back his shock and blurted out everything.
The people outside looked at each other in surprise.
I didn't expect that what I just said casually would turn out to be true.
Who can stay outside now? I want to go in and take a look.
Zhong Wenyi suppressed everyone's excitement and said solemnly: "You can take a look, but you can't take it. All of this will be handed over to the country, understand?"
An oppressive look swept over everyone.
Everyone nodded.
Li Lixin swore, "Let's see how they can take state property. We are of good character and would never do such a thing."
"Okay, let's supervise each other and never make mistakes," Zhong Wenyi emphasized again and again.
A few of them almost swore an oath to the heavens before they were allowed in to watch the fun.
After a few minutes of narrow passage, it became wider and wider. In the last cave of about 100 square meters, there were more than a dozen boxes piled up. Some of the boxes were broken, revealing the glowing treasures inside.
He said he would let them take a look, but actually he overestimated this. Zhong Wenyi did not allow them to open the intact box. He only let them look at the two broken boxes, one containing slightly dull jewels, and the other containing white silver and a small amount of gold.
Wow......
The crowd's exclamations became louder and louder, especially from Zhong Wenyue and Li Lixin, who were the most exaggerated.
Lin Xia and Gu Zhaozhao had the calmest reactions; they had seen a lot of this in their previous lives.
Lin Xia was immersed in her own thoughts.
Could it be that these are the golden fingers of the male and female protagonists, the capital for making a fortune, and now they are destroyed? Then if they are short of money in the future, will they be able to invest money themselves?
Alas, it’s a pity that the relationship with Gu Zhaozhao in this life is average, which leads to the heroine having no relationship with her. Will she be able to accept my investment in the future?
"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Wenyi looked at Lin Xia dangerously, as if she was trying to steal something and he had to stop her.
Lin Xia rolled her eyes at him, "What are you thinking about! Am I that kind of person?"
"How could I think of you? It's not that money can move people's hearts. Even a saint would be shocked for a moment. Hehe, I was wrong. I absolutely trust you the most." Zhong Wenyi began to make jokes to Lin Xia, fearing that Lin Xia would be angry with him.
"Okay, okay, I'm not a stingy person, I just think this money doesn't look that shiny and exciting."
"This kind of light is normal. If it's too dim, you won't be able to see clearly and it won't have that impact."
Zhong Wenyi chatted with Lin Xia for a few words, then asked everyone to leave.
"Wait!" Lin Xia called out to everyone, his face extremely serious.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"Listen, is there anyone talking?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face changed and they instantly became quiet. They pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the noise outside.
"Fool, is there really a treasure here? If you dare to lie to me, you're done for!" A vicious voice came faintly from a distance.
Everyone heard it and looked at each other.
The one called the fool was the son of a landlord in the village. His family used to be very wealthy, but later due to the turmoil in the country, he returned to the village to live a low-key life.
But no matter how low-key he was, he couldn't be that low-key, so when they played Landlord, his whole family suffered, leaving only his only child, who was beaten into a fool, to live on his own.
Since the fool had a mental problem, his superiors did not keep him under guard. He often wandered around in the mountains, relying on finding mountain products to support himself.
Therefore, these properties are most likely things hidden by the landlord.
Maybe this is why the fool knew there was treasure inside, because it belonged to him.
I just don’t know who the owner of the other voice is, why is he with the fool, and does he have accomplices?
"It seems there are only two people. To prevent the news from leaking out, we'd better catch them." Lin Xia suggested truthfully.
Zhong Wenyi looked back and saw that with so many people, it was more than enough to catch two people.
"Okay, if we go out now, we will definitely run into them. Let's just ambush here and wait for them to take the bait."
Lin Xia nodded and instinctively stood at the best ambush spot in the cave.
Zhong Wenyi was speechless, "There's no need for you to go up, just go hide in the back."
Lin Xia looked at him silently, thinking about her current personality, she really shouldn't charge into battle.
"Then I'll hide behind you so I can provide support at any time."
Zhong Wenyi seemed to have heard some love words, and his eyes looked at Lin Xia with tears in his eyes, "Okay, you hide behind me, I can't beat you, you come to help me."
Lin Xia: ...When I say help, I really mean help, not just concern for you!
Everyone hid their bodies, and time passed by minute by minute. Then, from outside the deep pit came the voice of another person calling someone a fool.
"Fool, I think you want to die. Is there any treasure in here? Look at these fresh vines. Are you setting a trap to lure me here on purpose?"
The man's vicious eyes swirled around the fool.
The fool was trembling with fear, "No, no, no one else knows."
"Then tell me what this is!?"
The man twisted his feet on the vines, grabbed the fool's head and pressed him to the ground.
"Ahhh, don't hit me, don't hit me, ahhh, the treasure is really in there, go get it!" The fool's sharp voice echoed through the forest.
Zhong Wenyi felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this and resisted the urge to go out and help.
Perhaps the man outside had vented his emotions enough, and was finally moved by the treasure, so he decided to go down and take a look.
Just in case, he let the fool go first.
When I got to the bottom of the pit, I saw that there was indeed a cave entrance. I was delighted at first, but then I found a lot of footprints, and my excited heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"Anyone there?"
No one responded in the cave. The man shouted several times, but still no one answered, so he grabbed the fool and walked in carefully.
Lin Xia listened to the footsteps silently and shouted "Charge" in her heart. Zhong Wenyi rushed out suddenly, kicked the idiot away, and prepared to strangle the man behind him with another kick.
As a result, the fool was frightened and became stressed. He held Zhong Wenyi tightly and refused to let go.
Zhong Wenyi missed the best opportunity to attack, and he could only pin his hopes on Li Lixin who was lying in ambush on the other side.
Li Lixin had never practiced this and his reaction was slow. When he was about to pounce, another figure was one step ahead of him.
Click——
Zhong Wenyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and Lin Xia's mind went blank for a moment.
Bang--
At the last moment, Zhong Wenyi broke free from the idiot and squeezed in front of Lin Xia without thinking.
"Zhong Wenyi, how are you? Were you hit? Where were you hit?"
While asking anxiously, Lin Xia decisively pushed Zhong Wenyi away and pinned the murderer down, otherwise he would have the chance to shoot again.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a gun.
Let’s control the lethal weapons first.
Others were shocked by this scene and rushed over to help. Zhong Wenyue pushed everyone away with a pale face and was about to cry when she saw her brother standing up alive.
Stand up?
Lin Xia was also confused. She looked Zhong Wenyi up and down. Suddenly, she felt something wet under her hand and looked down.
My goodness, half of the murderer’s palm was blown off and his body was covered in blood.
After briefly sorting out the process of the crime and checking the murder weapon, they discovered that the pistol was homemade by the murderer and was broken by Zhong Wenyi.
The gun exploded directly, killing the murderer himself.
After a preliminary interrogation, Zhong Wenyi learned that the criminal was a hunter from the next village and that this was purely an accident.
He was just in a bad mood, and seeing the idiot running to his trap and stealing his prey made him feel even worse, so he didn't hold back.
After beating the idiot to death, he received this unexpected news, so he came here with a glimmer of hope, but ended up getting himself into trouble.
After Zhong Wenyi learned that the other party had no accomplices, he took Lin Xia and the others down the mountain.
It took two hours to get down the mountain.
Zhong Wenyi took them to the brigade headquarters and asked Lin Xia to treat the injuries of Guo Wenzhong and the murderer while not allowing them to run around. He then asked Li Lixin to go with him to the commune to make a phone call.
In less than an hour, several cars of police arrived and took us into the mountains.
The members were all in an uproar and wanted to know what happened, but a few of them kept their mouths shut and didn't get any information.
It was completely dark and raining heavily. The police who entered the mountain carried away several boxes covered with black cloth.
The members were confused and the chaos lasted for several days before it gradually calmed down.
Half a month later, several discoverers were praised in the commune. Several departments of the county party committee came to the scene together, awarded them big red flowers, medals, bonuses and gifts.
The entire county was in an uproar. Lin Xia was asked this question hundreds of times every time she went out. It was not until Zhong Wenyue returned to the city, and then Li Lixin returned to the city, that everyone finally calmed down and changed the subject.
As for the fool, he didn't get any benefits at the time. Instead, he was named for hiding property, and his life became even more miserable.
It was not until large-scale rehabilitation that he was properly dealt with and sent to a specialized institution for treatment.
After Zhong Wenyue left, Zhong Wenyi had no excuse to come to the team again. After much thought, he brought a package to Lin Xia once a month and announced to the public that it was sent specifically by Wenyue to Lin Xia.
Without Gu Zhaozhao's interruption, Zhong Wenyi focused on pursuing Lin Xia, which moved her a little, especially the last time he rushed to save her without fear of life and death, which moved her even more.
After the cave trip that day, the relationship between He Ying and Guo Wenzhong began to deteriorate. Even Lin Xia, who was not often around, could vaguely see that the educated youth center had tacitly accepted that the two were dating.
Gu Zhaozhao realized that Zhong Wenyi was not Xu Chengye, so she gave up quietly. After only three months, she started dating a young man in the cowshed. The man was rehabilitated in the first half of 1977. Everyone in the team unanimously agreed that Gu Zhaozhao was going to become a phoenix.
In October 1977, an exciting piece of news spread across the country that the college entrance examination, which had been stagnant for ten years, was resumed. Countless students, educated youth, and workers were ecstatic.
Everyone kept calling to find connections to buy and borrow books.
"Xiaoqing, did you hear that? The college entrance examination has been resumed." Zhong Wenyi was sweating profusely while riding and happily handed the newspaper to Lin Xiaoqing. He knew that Lin Xia had been studying hard and she would definitely be able to get into college.
Lin Xia was not the type to be superior to others just by reviewing in advance. She still studied very hard in the last month. With the materials found by the Zhong family, she learned very well.
Many people came to her to borrow information, so she lent her extra books to Fang Fang from the beginning. She believed that the sober Fang Fang would seize the opportunity.
The tense atmosphere passed in a flash, and soon the day of the college entrance examination arrived. During the two days of the exam, Lin Xia stayed directly at Zhong Wenyi's house. It was too much of a waste of time for the team to ride their bikes over. As the director, Zhong Wenyi was allocated a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment, which was more than enough for sleeping.
Besides, he stayed in the dormitory at night for the sake of Lin Xia's reputation.
Lin Xia was actually very nervous.
The college entrance examination and university have been her dreams for three lifetimes. No matter what, she would definitely visit that beautiful university campus in this lifetime.
Two days of the college entrance examination passed quickly. Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the examination room with a relaxed expression. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw someone standing straight.
Zhong Wenyi gentlemanly took the stationery from Lin Xia's hand. Seeing how relaxed she looked, he was in the mood to tease her, "It looks pretty good."
"I think it's okay." Lin Xia shrugged.
That night, the two of them worked together to prepare a table of delicious food to reward themselves. Everyone worked very hard.
After having a drink, Zhong Wenyi couldn't help but confess to Lin Xia.
"Xiaoqing, you know, I have always liked you in the past few years. You know everything about me. Can you consider me?" His deep eyes were full of affection as he looked at Lin Xia steadily.
Lin Xia's heart suddenly started beating violently. She couldn't hear anything clearly. She only remembered the other person's lips opening and closing to say something.
She thought that she also liked him a little, otherwise why would she agree to live in his house.
