Chapter 165 Discovery (Previous chapter modified)

After Zhang Chunlei and his group climbed up Tengshan, they did not come down for half a month. On the third day after they entered Tengshan, a group of teams quietly climbed up Tengshan from a small road.

Finally, it was confirmed that the deep pit was filled with things used by the Japanese in their experiments. Those things were highly corrosive and also emitted toxic substances.

It is not contagious, but anyone who comes into contact with it will be poisoned, and then the whole body will become red and swollen, the skin will rot and itch, and eventually die.

There were a lot of things buried underneath, and it wasn’t until a few days before the Chinese New Year that professionals dug all of them out and took them away.

However, Tengshan is still listed as a forbidden area. In the next few years, no one will be allowed to approach the area around the Great Deep Pit.

The secret team led by Zhang Chunlei found the laboratory left behind by the enemy in the mountains behind Qujiawan.

The place where the reservoir is to be built is only two hills away from the laboratory.

According to the original plan, a canal was to be built where the reservoir was located.

Once construction begins, the laboratory will be exposed to the public.

When they found the laboratory, although there was no one inside, there were signs of habitation, some people who had died less than six months ago, and some new experiments.

The skeletons found last time were all test subjects used by the Japanese for experiments.

After his death, he was hastily buried in the mountains.

Yu Wanqing didn't go to see him, but after Huo Lanci came back from a phone call, he fell into silence, with a heavy atmosphere lingering around him.

She guessed that the content of the call was related to the newly discovered laboratory.

But Huo Lanci said nothing, and Yu Wanqing did not ask either.

On the 25th of Lunar New Year, the people who went to Qujiawan to dig the reservoir finally came back. Both the educated youth and the members of the commune had lost weight.

Seeing how much thinner and darker Zhang Hongqi had become, Guo Hongying hugged her arms and started crying: "I told you not to go, but look at you, you've lost so much weight."

Chuan Ming was standing not far away. When he heard this, he wanted to say: I have lost weight too.

Why don’t I see Hongying feeling sorry for herself?

Zhang Hongqi hurried to comfort the crying Guo Hongying. Wang Yuping and He Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing when they saw her: "Hongying, don't cry. I'll treat you to candy later."

Guo Hongying glared at Wang Yuping and said, "Do you think you are coaxing a three-year-old child?"

"You are not as good as Xiao Sheng now." Yu Wanqing smiled and reminded: "Guo San Sui."

Everyone just treats Hongying as a child.

Upon hearing this, Guo Hongying rushed over and tried to grab Yu Wanqing: "Okay, you actually dare to laugh at me."

All the people at the educated youth site had returned, and they decided to go to the county town to buy things the next day.

He Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "We earned more than 50 yuan this time, so we can have a prosperous New Year."

In more than a month, they earned more than 50 yuan, just enough to buy New Year's goods and clothes for the New Year, and they felt satisfied.

The feeling of being able to make money on your own is really different.

The next morning, everyone went to the captain to get a letter of introduction and prepared to stay in the county town for one night.

After receiving the introduction letter, the group walked across the wooden bridge and saw several ox carts waiting there. The driver was the carpenter Chen Qishu. He smiled and said, "Yu Zhiqing, are you going to the county seat?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Yes, Uncle Qi, we are going to the county town."

"Come on, get in the car. I'll take you to the county seat for 1 cent each."

Yu Wanqing and the others all knew that at the end of the year all the brigade's oxen would be used to pull carts to the county town. Each oxen would be paid one cent, and all the money would belong to the brigade. The uncles who drove the carts would only get work points.

Huo Lanci sat next to Uncle Chen Qi and helped drive the ox cart.

A dozen educated youth were divided into two ox carts, which were swaying towards the county town. At first, riding in the ox carts was very interesting, but after a long time, Yu Wanqing felt as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.

At this moment, Yu Wanqing wished that the bus her second brother mentioned could show up sooner.

When they arrived outside the city gate, it was already noon. Uncle Chen and his companions did not go into the city. Instead, they dropped the people off and told the educated youth to wait outside the city gate at two o'clock the next afternoon.

Goldman said, "Aunt, it's so far."

"Can Uncle Zhou take us back tomorrow?"

Gao Qingmei heard this and quickly replied, "No, Uncle Zhou has to go to work. We can't go and bother Uncle Zhou."

Goldman nodded and said, "Okay, it's a little far."

Dad said that he had to listen to his aunt here and not bother other uncles and aunts. He wanted to be an obedient child.

Ji Qing stepped forward and picked up Gao Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, let's go first and let these female comrades walk slowly."

Lu Guohua also walked forward with a smile, and a group of male educated youth soon walked in front.

After Gao Sheng left, Gao Qingmei sighed, "I think I shouldn't have kept Xiao Sheng by my side. He probably needs his father more than me."

Gao Sheng often mentioned Director Zhou, so Gao Qingmei had a preconceived idea that Gao Sheng missed his father.

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "Are you hiding something from Goldman? I think he seems to be a little sensitive recently, always worried that others will abandon him."

It was obvious that the second brother was not opposed to getting along with Qingmei, so Yu Wanqing naturally wanted to know more about Qingmei and the Gao family.

If two people can really succeed, then they will be relatives.

She still hopes that all her relatives at home are as reasonable and easy to get along with as her maternal grandparents and her eldest sister-in-law's family.

Otherwise, given her personality of daring to confront even her biological parents and even scheme to seize their property, she might tear apart her closest relatives.

Guo Hongying, Zhang Hongqi and the other female educated youth went shopping. Huo Lanci and Chu Ming walked behind them. Gao Qingmei took a look and thought it was a good time to have a private conversation.

She told Yu Wanqing about the Gao family: "Xiao Sheng doesn't even know that her biological mother is gone. The mother who used to accompany him was a bad person and the vicious woman who killed her biological mother."

"My parents think that Xiaosheng is still young and that such cruel things should be kept secret from him."

Yu Wanqing didn't expect so many things to happen in Gao Qingmei's family. She asked, "What about you? Do you think we should tell Xiaosheng about this now?"

Gao Qingmei pursed her lips and walked in silence for a long time before she sighed, "If I had to choose, I would like Xiaosheng to know the truth."

"If I don't tell Xiaosheng now, he will think about the woman who killed his mother. This is really cruel to Song Zhi who has already passed away." She hopes that her nephew will be sensible and be able to distinguish right from wrong.

If this is the case, his life should not be so muddled.

But her eldest brother has already told her not to tell Xiaosheng about family matters, so she has been feeling really conflicted and uncomfortable lately.

I even felt sorry for Xiaosheng.

Gao Qingmei looked at Yu Wanqing: "Wanqing, I don't know what to do now."

A tug-of-war between her own thoughts and her family's advice unfolded in her mind, which lasted for dozens of days.

It's so uncomfortable.
