Chapter 163: Heart Sinking (Edited)

Huo Lanci shook his head: "I didn't know before, but now I know. I'll find time to go and see it."

"Why not wait for a day? Tonight?" Yu Wanqing's eyes were full of excitement.

Huo Lanci thought about it, and then agreed: "The people in the Kapok Brigade have already withdrawn, and the person in charge of this matter will leave soon."

"I heard you two knew each other."

He had met Zhang Chunlei, who was young, promising and handsome.

Yu Wanqing hummed: "He is my sister-in-law's brother. He joined the army very early, so I have only seen him a few times and I am not very familiar with him."

In the original owner's memory, she met Zhang's eldest brother more often, but Zhang looked like his father and was a bit serious.

When the original owner was still in school, every time she met Brother Zhang, he would ask about her homework and often said that girls should study more.

Every time he heard that the original owner had ranked first in the exam, he would take out a few White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and give them to the original owner.

Every Chinese New Year, Brother Zhang would give the original owner of the New Year's money, and each time it would be two big bills.

In the original owner's mind, Brother Zhang is definitely the God of Wealth.

Huo Lanci smiled and suggested: "Sister-in-law's brother, if you have the chance, invite him to your home for a meal."

Yu Wanqing nodded: "If you meet him, then invite him to your home for dinner. If you don't meet him, then there is no need to go to him."

If the person coming this time is Brother Zhang, influenced by the original owner's memory, she will definitely come forward to invite him.

After all, we have been together for many years, and it is not fake.

Huo Lanci nodded, but he had a feeling in his heart that Zhang Chunlei would definitely come to visit Xiaowu.

At one o'clock in the morning, Yu Wanqing woke up from her sleep. When she got up and dressed, she remembered her doubts. Finally, she entered the space and searched for a long time before she found a thin protective suit.

If things were really as she thought, she would be safe if she put on this protective suit and then used the wood-based supernatural power to protect her body.

She met Huo Lanci outside the door and ran towards the mountains together.

Yu Wanqing took Huo Lanci to the deep pit, and the flashlight shone into the pit: "It's just a place like this, and it took the lives of four people. It seems weird no matter how you look at it."

The wind was howling all around, and Yu Wanqing felt her cheeks were a little cold. She pulled up her scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed.

She remembered what Guo Hongying had been mumbling during the day, saying that the winter in Nanfu was too cold, and that even with two quilts at night she still felt very cold.

Because of her wood-related abilities, Yu Wanqing had never felt very cold before, but the wind tonight made her toes numb.

"I went to inquire about the matter of Shenkeng tonight. The four members became ill after returning from here and died two days after the onset of the disease." Huo Lanci turned around and looked at Wan Qing: "I'll go down and take a look."

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "I'll go down, you watch from above."

"Aci, I listened to you last time, now you have to listen to me." She stared at Huo Lanci, and under the dim light, the stubbornness in her eyes did not allow him to refute.

The two of them just looked at each other, and Huo Lanci said, "Together."

"No, of the two of us, only one person can go down to explore the way. If there is any accident, the other person will be the retreat." Yu Wanqing pulled Huo Lanci: "In other words, you will abandon me and run away first."

Huo Lanci tapped Yu Wanqing on the head: "You are more important than my life."

He loved the bright and beautiful girl in front of him. He didn't know where the love came from, but it had penetrated into his heart and bones.

Even if he was an ordinary citizen, he would not stand by and watch someone die, let alone his beloved girl. How could he abandon her in times of danger?

Yu Wanqing smiled faintly: "That's fine, wait for me."

Last time he said: Wait for me.

This time, it's her turn.

Yu Wanqing quickly went down into the deep pit. She used her wood-related abilities to begin to sense danger.

The vegetation here is dense, and her wood-based ability can clearly sense everything around her. The further she goes down, the heavier her heart becomes.

She suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on the center of the deep pit. Everything was just as she had guessed at the beginning. The truly terrible thing was buried there.

It was this thing that took the lives of those people.

Even with the protection of the wood power, she didn't dare to move forward. Now that she had determined what it was, she could only leave the matter to the most professional people.

Huo Lanci reached out his hand to pull Yu Wanqing up, and asked quickly, "Are you okay?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "I'm fine. There's something under the deep pit. I think the mountain will be closed."

Fortunately, on weekdays, people only come here to chop firewood in the mountains. This place is far away from where everyone lives, and it takes an hour to walk. Even if the mountain is really closed, it will not have a big impact on everyone.

Seeing her cautious look, Huo Lanci was silent for a moment before asking, "Is there something with radiation?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "If you don't touch those things, the impact of passing through here won't be that great. The four people who died must have touched something with radiation, so they died in a short period of time."

"It seems that Zhang Chunlei can't leave yet." Huo Lanci suddenly said as the two of them went down the mountain together.

Yu Wanqing also felt that Zhang Chunlei was more likely to take over this matter.

The situation was very serious, so Huo Lanci and Wan Qing separated at the foot of the mountain. He wanted to find Bian Hanhai, Bai Qingshan and others and ask them to contact their superiors immediately.

The next morning, Zhang Chunlei led his men into the Five-Star Brigade.

Secretary Zhou and the captain came out after hearing the news. Zhang Chunlei showed his ID and said, "We need to go into the mountain to check."

Secretary Zhou and his men didn't know what was going on in the mountains that required so many soldiers to be dispatched. They were all smart people, so no one dared to ask more questions. Zhou Ping'an quickly asked, "Where are you going? Do you need me to lead the way?"

Zhang Chunlei mentioned a location. Secretary Zhou and the team leader looked at each other, and the team leader said, "That big deep pit."

"I'll take him there." Secretary Zhou realized that the situation was serious, and he told the captain, "Please inform the members not to go to Fujiyama."

The Dashenkeng is located on Tengshan Mountain. Some members do not mind the long journey and go to Tengshan Mountain to chop firewood.

The captain nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go and inform everyone now."

Zhang Chunlei and Secretary Zhou were walking in front. When they passed the foot of the mountain behind the educated youth site, Accountant Ye ran after them and shouted, "Secretary Zhou, Secretary Zhou, wait a minute."

Secretary Zhou and his group stopped. Accountant Ye ran to the front and was already panting and calling out, "It's the city's number. I have something urgent to talk to you about."

Secretary Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this: "Let them tell you first."

"No, the commune official who came to inform you said that you must answer the phone in person."

Zhang Chunlei said calmly, "Secretary Zhou, since you are busy, just find someone to take us there."

Secretary Zhou nodded, wondering who he should look for.

Suddenly, a figure came into his sight, and Secretary Zhou's eyes lit up: "Yu Zhiqing, come here."

Yu Wanqing, Gao Qingmei and Guo Hongying planned to take another path around to Beishan Mountain to chop wood and pick branches at the foot of the mountain.

When Yu Wanqing heard Secretary Zhou calling her, she thought to herself: It must be something bad.

As early as when Zhang Chunlei led his men into the Five-Star Brigade, she had already heard from the children that Secretary Zhou was going to lead them into the mountains.

That's why she chose to go around to the North Mountain to collect firewood.

Unexpectedly, I was caught.

She turned around and found that Zhang Chunlei, Secretary Zhou and Accountant Ye were all staring at her.

She walked up to the group of people and asked with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, Accountant Ye, what do you want to talk to me about? Hongying, Qingmei and I have an appointment to go into the mountains to chop firewood. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Secretary Zhou stared at Yu Wanqing and said with a half-smile, "I need your help with something."

If you want to run away, it depends on whether I agree or not.

He said, "Take your military comrades to the big deep pit in Fujiyama."

Accountant Ye also knew what kind of person Yu Zhiqing was, so he smiled and said, "Yu Zhiqing, Secretary Zhou has to go to the commune to answer the phone, so you can help him."

"Okay, I get it." Now that both of them have spoken, I can't just stand by and watch.

Secretary Zhou smiled when he heard this. He looked at Zhang Chunlei and said, "Comrade Zhang, let Yu Zhiqing lead you into the mountains."

Zhang Chunlei glanced at Yu Wanqing, with a faint smile on his lips: "Okay, thank you for your help, Yu Zhiqing."

Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "That's fine."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Guo Hongying and Gao Qingmei and said, "Qingmei, Hongying, I will take the military comrades to Tengshan to have a look. You guys go to Beishan to chop wood first."

Guo Hongying and Gao Qingmei both waved their hands: "Got it, we'll leave first."

Zhang Chunlei looked at the girl leading the way in front of him. They had been walking for ten minutes and she had no intention of talking to him at all.

Zhang Chunlei said: "Yu Xiaowu, have you become mute?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thirty or so people following him were shocked.

A group of people looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: Does the boss know this female educated youth?

Yu Wanqing stopped and turned to look at Zhang Chunlei: "Brother Chunlei, hello, long time no see."

Zhang Chunlei smiled and said, "I thought you didn't recognize me?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head quickly: "How is that possible? I have always known Chunlei, but I was just worried that you didn't know me."

"When I met you, you were only in primary school. It's not an exaggeration to say that I watched you grow up. Do you think I don't know you?" Zhang Chunlei said unhappily, "I still remember the way you cried."

Yu Wanqing glared at Zhang Chunlei: We can’t talk properly anymore.

What he said before was reasonable, but the last sentence was simply too much.

"I don't know who Chunlei blamed for crying. I have never been a crybaby." Yu Wanqing kept recalling the incident in her mind, and finally confirmed that she had not cried in front of Zhang Chunlei.

This inhuman guy is trying to fool me.

Zhang Chunlei walked beside Yu Wanqing, smiled and whispered, "When you were six years old, you were beaten by a few kids in the family compound. My elder brother and I went to the family compound to handle some matters, and we saw with our own eyes that you, the little girl who was beaten down, pulled the hair of the others who bullied you, and kicked and bit them."

"It's like, if I'm not doing well, I'm going to bite you to death."

Zhang Chunlei couldn't help laughing when he said this: "I can still remember your appearance at that time very clearly."

"My eldest brother hasn't forgotten either."

So, don't try to deny it, it's useless.

Yu Wanqing wanted to kick the bastard out: "You must have remembered it wrongly."

Yes, Zhang Chunlei was right. This was what the original owner looked like when he had his first fight with someone.

I will kick and bite, and it doesn't matter if I can't beat them, but I will not let anyone who bullies me off easily.

He is a very cruel person.

"I can't be mistaken. Otherwise, we can write to ask my eldest brother. I believe he also remembers the events of that year very clearly."

Yu Wanqing took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chunlei, you look like a human being when you shut up."

Zhang Chunlei heard the hidden meaning in Yu Wanqing's words and laughed: "Then what do I look like now?"

Yu Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you think?"

"It's quite a dog."

After saying this, Yu Wanqing strode forward.

Zhang Chunlei chased after him quickly, and the thirty or so soldiers behind him were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

The female educated youth just now seemed to say that their boss was, was he, a dog?

Someone whispered, "Did I hear it right? Yu Zhiqing said the boss is a dog?"

Another man kicked his companion who was talking: "Shut up, or the boss will beat you up later, and you will beg for mercy like a puppy."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Chunlei didn't want to tease Yu Wanqing anymore, worried that she would really turn her face against him with her violent temper: "How many people usually go to the Tengshan Deep Pit?"

"Very rarely. Only in the winter when it's not so busy will people go to Fujiyama to chop firewood."

Zhang Chunlei asked: "What about you? Have you been there?"

Yu Wanqing hummed, "I was chopping wood nearby two days ago, and then Uncle Chen Qi saw us and told us not to go to the deep pit. He said it was a bit weird, and people who went into the deep pit died within a few days after returning."

"When they died, their skin was all rotten and they were in great pain. It was a miserable death anyway."

Yu Wanqing pretended not to know and glanced at Zhang Chunlei: "Brother Chunlei, are you here because of the big pit that could kill people?"

Zhang Chunlei nodded: "I have been in Ningshan Commune for some time. I have been in Muqian Brigade for the past few days. I wanted to come and see you before returning to Guangdong, but I didn't expect to receive a mission today."

"Take us to the Fujiyama Pit and leave immediately. Tell the Five Stars Brigade not to get close to Fujiyama."

"I know. I'll tell everyone." Yu Wanqing thought for a moment and reminded, "I heard from the team members that the symptoms of those people seemed to be caused by radiation or poisoning."

"Brother Chunlei, you guys have to be careful. It's best to wait until the professional team arrives before approaching the pit."

Zhang Chunlei did not have any doubts after hearing these words. When his sister was going to marry the eldest son of the Yu family, they looked into the affairs of the Yu family and naturally knew that Yu Xiaowu was studying medicine with Old Chen.

They thought she was a doctor and was warning them.

He said: "We will not go into the pit, but will only be responsible for the safety issues around it."

Everything else will naturally be done by relevant personnel.

Yu Wanqing was relieved. She pointed ahead and said slowly, "It's right in front."
