Chapter 35 Handed over to the State
There was no signature or date at the bottom. Bai Yangfan thought it was written on the next page, but it turned out not to be. The next page was another letter.
Dear Predestined Person:
Hello!
I am the bandit Hu Damazi, my name is Hu Yizhou, and I am from this county. I became a bandit out of necessity. I do not kill ordinary people, nor do I rob good people in this area.
I only rob caravans and merchant cars that have done the most evil and are heading to neighboring countries. This time we robbed a caravan disguised as an islander and took back all the gold, but my brother and I are going to die.
We were shot and hid in a cave in a neighboring country. We tried our best to transport the gold back here, but we didn't dare to stay here for long for fear of being discovered by those hateful islanders.
If you're a kindhearted person, please help me take care of my woman, Bai Feng. She's the only daughter of the Bai family in the county. We secretly married and have a child. My child is still in her belly, only two months old. Considering that I left a fortune for the country before my death, please treat my woman and child well.
The things in the box are for my wife and child. Please take good care of them. Hu Yizhou will repay me in my next life by becoming a dog or horse. Thank you! Thank you!
This letter still has no signature or date, which shows that the situation was critical and it was written in a hurry.
White Phoenix?
The only daughter of the Bai family in the county town.
Isn't that the original owner's grandmother? Could it be that the original owner's father was not a child of the Liu family, but Hu Yizhou's?
Unfortunately, the original owner's grandmother has passed away, so this matter cannot be asked.
But Hu Yizhou said that the things in the box were left for his children and grandchildren. If the original owner's father was really Hu Yizhou's child, then these things were gone.
But what to do with this gold?
After looking at the boxes carefully, Bai Yangfan discovered that the seventh box was different from the others. This must be a small trick Hu Yizhou did to prevent his hidden goods from being discovered by people with bad intentions.
I moved several pieces of gold from other boxes and placed them on this box.
She divided the gold evenly among the remaining twenty boxes, which were just enough to hold it.
Bai Yangfan held his forehead, feeling so wronged. He thought he had made a fortune, but who knew that he got the gold from the national treasury.
It is not impossible to melt them and recast them, but Hu Damazi said that these things must be handed over to the country and cannot be taken for personal use.
Even a bandit can have integrity, there is no reason why she doesn't have it!
She still had to give it to the country, because she lived in this country now and would have to rely on this country in the future. Even if she didn't have this kind of patriotism in her previous life, she had to cultivate it well in this life.
We have to think of a good way to hand over such a large amount of gold.
I’m afraid that a good thing might turn into a bad thing. After all, the letter mentioned Bai Feng, the name of the original owner’s grandmother.
No, this letter cannot be seen by anyone else. I have to put the things he told those damn guys to leave behind safely and set sail in the future. Those should be the things his grandfather left him.
Even so, what should we do with the twenty boxes of gold?
Who should handle it?
After much thought, I still think it's more appropriate to give it to that bastard Lu Jingheng. He knows the origins of these things, and he's a soldier, so let him take the credit.
Having made up his mind, Bai Yangfan waited for Lu Jingheng for several days. When he knew he was back, he hurried to find him overnight.
Those boxes were like hot potatoes. The sooner she handed them over, the sooner the matter would be over. Otherwise, she really didn't know whether any further delay would bring her any trouble.
She also has a four-year-old brother to take care of and can't afford to get hurt.
Not long after Lu Jingheng came back and lay down on the bed, he heard Bai Yangfan greeting other educated youth outside.
Why was this woman looking for him at this hour? Could it be that she hadn't seen him for a few days and missed him?
"Lu Jingheng! Come out, I have something to tell you." Bai Yangfan was not in a position to enter the man's room, so he shouted at the door and turned around to leave the educated youth camp.
It’s better to keep that matter secret. It will be more troublesome if others find out.
Lu Jingheng got up, opened the door, and saw Bai Yangfan leaving. He didn't ask anything and followed her.
I don’t know why this woman is looking for him. Could it be that she really misses him?
Seeing that they were a little distance away from the educated youth center, Lu Jingheng couldn't wait to ask, "What do you want me for?"
"Something happened. Accompany me to the cave tomorrow. Don't ask anything else." Bai Yangfan finished speaking, glanced at Lu Jingheng coldly, and reminded him, "Don't worry! This is a great thing for you."
Without waiting for Lu Jingheng to react, Bai Yangfan turned around and went back.
When Ye Lianlian arrived, she saw Lu Jingheng staring at Bai Yangfan's back in a daze. She was so angry that she scolded Bai Yangfan.
On the surface, she pretended to be weak and innocent as always: "Brother Jingheng! Why did Bai Yangfan leave? Did she leave because she saw me coming?"
Looking back, a trace of displeasure flashed across Lu Jingheng's face: "Ye Lianlian! I'm telling you one last time, don't call me Brother Jingheng. Disgusting! Also, Bai Yangfan didn't leave just because she saw you coming. Don't always be so self-righteous.
Don't come to the educated youth camp to look for me if you have nothing to do in the future. I won't accept any excuses or reasons, and I don't want to see you. Go away! Don't bother me."
Lu Jingheng actually had a very bad temper, especially towards women he disliked. He had no patience at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurt Bai Yangfan so deeply. When he discovered the good in that girl, she no longer considered him her own.
Thinking about her plan to go to college and take her brother away from here, and that he was not in that plan at all, he felt particularly depressed.
What a wonderful girl! Even men are probably better than her. But the most precious thing is that she has a kind heart and can communicate with the animals in the mountains. She knows more than most people.
Otherwise, how could he catch that person? Isn't that the benefit she got for saving the big black bear? It can be seen that animals can also distinguish who is good to them and who is not.
Ye Lianlian, who was yelled at by Lu Jingheng for no reason, had red eyes and stood there trembling, as if she was frightened, and her voice was filled with tears.
"I'm sorry! Brother Jingheng!" She covered her mouth in fear, tears dripping down her face. "I'm sorry! I said the wrong thing. From now on, I won't call you Brother Jingheng anymore! Don't be angry. I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away."
She said she was leaving, but she didn't move at all. She stood there crying as if she was about to die.
Lu Jingheng looked at her sideways, thinking that this woman was just being pretentious. He hadn't done anything to her, so why was she crying? If someone didn't know, they would think he had bullied her.
In the past, his treatment of Bai Yangfan had been even worse than this, and he had never seen her cry. At most, she would stamp her feet in anger and walk away with a pout. Recently, he had changed his strategy and was always cold and wouldn't let him get close.
