Chapter 19
When going to Daqingshan again, Yu Yao did not avoid people like last time. Instead, he found a place to disguise himself and went to the village to inquire.
She was looking for someone under the pretext of searching for relatives, but when people heard that the person she was looking for lived in Daqingshan, they looked at her with horror. It was obvious how scared these honest people were by the legend.
But when Yu Yao wanted to ask for more details, these people kept silent. In the end, she took fifty cents and found an old lady who looked very pitiful to find out the truth.
"Old sister, the person you are looking for is definitely not in Daqing Mountain. Even if he was in the past, you can't find him now."
The old lady took the money and stuffed it into her trousers. There was an inner pocket sewn into her trousers, which looked very sturdy.
"Excuse me, what is this mountain? I remember clearly that my relative mentioned Daqing Mountain. Is there another Daqing Mountain nearby?"
The old lady shook her head and touched the place where she sewed her purse. She said, "I'll only tell you once. If you tell me again, I won't admit it. There is something dirty on it."
Yu Yao deliberately showed a horrified expression, "What, no way?"
"Of course not. Wasn't it said in the past that there were bandits in this mountain? In order to be recognized as an advanced villager, everyone wanted to make contributions, so the militia leader led his men up there, and later saw a ghost in a ruined temple."
I don’t know if it was to create a nice atmosphere or because she was afraid of being overheard, but the old lady spoke in a low voice, which was really annoying to hear.
"Later, a young man in the village was curious and almost went crazy after going up the mountain. He was sick for several months before he recovered. Later, the militia leader didn't allow us to mention this matter anymore. You should go back to the city before it gets dark."
Yu Yao looked frightened. She thanked him quickly and walked hurriedly out of the village. She met many people on the way. Only after she left the village did she find a place to change her clothes.
If what she felt was correct, there should have been someone following her when she left the village just now. Liu Yuan might know about this in a short time, so she had to go up the mountain tonight regardless of whether there was any defense or not.
She guessed correctly. She saw people guarding several intersections. They seemed to be tending to the crops, but their eyes were looking everywhere, obviously guarding against something.
Yu Yao finally found an opportunity and sneaked up the mountain while the guard was urinating.
Having walked the road once before, Yu Yao found it easier to walk.
She has a strong sense of direction in the mountains. As long as she has walked a road once, she can find the place she wants to go based on some details.
Even if she had never been there, she could still use the sunlight to determine the direction.
After hearing the news this afternoon, Yu Yao was almost certain that the four words "wild mountains and wild ridges" were most likely referring to the dilapidated temple where she lived at that time.
Liu Yuan is able to get so many people to work for him, it seems he is really a capable person.
Not only did they hide their valuables here, they also made up a legend that turned this place into a famous haunted place. It was the first time that Yu Yao had seen such darkness.
Since there was no need to look for it anymore, Yu Yao quickly arrived at the ruined temple.
The surroundings of the ruined temple looked almost the same as what she saw last time, except that there were still traces of the fire on the ground. This showed that those people had not come to this place since she came, otherwise they would definitely be more vigilant than they were now.
After thinking for a while, Yu Yao covered up the traces and then looked around for places where treasures could be hidden.
In fact, there are only two places where the treasure is hidden, one is on the beam and the other is in the ground.
Yu Yao looked around but didn't see any place to hide anything, so he decisively went underground to look.
Soon, she found a tunnel under the dilapidated stove in the temple. She went in and saw a dozen boxes of various sizes.
When she opened the box, she was almost blinded by the sight of gold, jewelry, and a big reunion. With these things, Yu Yao's family would never have to worry about food and clothing. No wonder Liu Yuan could get the entire village to do things for him.
After reading to the end, Yu Yao finally knew what Liu Yuan really wanted to hide: a pile of textile factory ledgers.
Without thinking too much, Yu Yao put all the things into the space in one breath.
On the other hand, after Gu Qing returned, he began to investigate the parents of the two Liu Yangs in the textile factory.
The result was as he expected. Although on the surface the family seemed to be fine, Liu Yuanming had secretly stuffed a lot of people into the factory in a way that would not lead to him being convicted, but was not very decent.
Although Wu Hong had never done anything unforgivable outside, she was often arrogant and took the lead in squeezing out people in the factory. What surprised Gu Qing even more was that Wu Hong's sister Wu Qiao seemed to have a very delicate relationship with Liu Yuan.
After thinking about it, Gu Qing decided to go and investigate in person. After all, he deserved to suffer a little for cursing a little girl.
Excited by so much gold and silver treasures, and with so many people guarding the mountain, Yu Yao no longer had the desire to look for prey in the mountain. She quietly went down the mountain as she came.
She was absent-minded all the way; she didn't know what to do with so many things.
Who doesn’t like good things? Who doesn’t like getting something for nothing?
But now that she has so many things, what will she do in the future? Is she just going to live a life of idleness and wait for death?
These things might have been stolen from somewhere by Liu Yuan, and she felt uneasy.
But asking her to hand over all the things was a huge and unprecedented test for her.
Yu Yao shook her head. Now was not the time to think about this, but how to give these things out openly.
Now that the accounts have been given out, someone has to find the properties.
Yes, so she can't have it.
If she didn't want it, things would be much simpler. She could just drag the things to the door of the police station.
No, no, with such a huge amount of money, Yu Yao doesn’t believe that there is no one behind Liu Yuan. Is he going to look for Brother Biao?
How can a group of them still walk after seeing these things?
It would be best to find a way to deal Liu Yuan a fatal blow so that no one can protect him.
While Yu Yao was thinking about the possibility of success by posting things directly on the street, he had already walked to the old banyan tree next to Liu's house.
Gu Qing spotted her early in the morning and wanted to see what she was going to do, but he didn't expect her to go straight to the banyan tree. Then he saw the little girl quickly jump up the tree like a monkey.
Yu Yao never thought that there was someone on the tree. When she realized it, the person's mouth had been covered. "Don't shout, it's me."
Hearing the voice, Yu Yao paused as he was about to take out a knife and asked tentatively, "Comrade Gu."
Gu Qing hummed and then let her go.
Obviously, this is not a good place to reminisce.
Yu Yao followed Gu Qing silently through alleys, not knowing where she was going. Her mind was full of thoughts about how she should make an excuse, but her CPU was almost burned out, and she still couldn't find a suitable excuse.
Not long after, Yu Yao followed Gu Qing to a courtyard.
Gu Qing took the key, opened the lock and asked her to come in. Yu Yao went in with a depressed look, which made Gu Qing frown.
How come this girl has no guard at all?
However, Yu Yao was not without guard, but she felt that Gu Qing could not beat her. Compared to worrying that Gu Qing would do something bad to her, she was more worried about how to make things go smoothly.
What happened today also sounded a wake-up call for her. She was still not careful enough. Thinking carefully, she was not careful enough whether she went to Daqingshan alone or came to Liu's house. Especially after coming here once, she didn't take her opponent seriously at all. But she still thought she was cautious.
Fortunately, the person she met was Gu Qing. If she had met someone with bad intentions, even if she would not be hurt, the matter would be exposed. But now that she has met Gu Qing, things are very difficult to deal with.
Yu Yao looked up listlessly and saw Gu Qing looking at him with a half-smile. He asked, "Have you figured out how to make excuses?"
“…”
This is quite different from the Comrade Gu I saw during the day.
"Come in and sit down." No one lived in the yard, so Gu Qing was the first to go into the house and turn on the lights. The incandescent lamps of that era had a low wattage, but they were still much brighter than the kerosene lamps in the countryside.
Gu Qing led Yu Yao to sit down, and he made some rustling noises outside. Yu Yao only heard the sound of water splashing. After a while, he saw the other party walking in from outside, holding a plate of sliced watermelon in his hand.
The weather was too hot, and even at night the heat only dissipated slightly. Seeing Yu Yao swallow the watermelon, he finally didn't hesitate and divided the whole plate of watermelon with Gu Qing without saying a word.
Yu Yao suspected that the other party wanted to use courtesy first and then force to kill him.
Gu Qing had no idea of the girl's messy thoughts. He just saw that she was hot and there happened to be some ice watermelon in the well, so he wanted to share it with her.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, he started to talk business, "Now we can talk, shouldn't you be going back to the village now? Why are you still asking me to wait for your telegram?"
I don’t know why, but Yu Yao heard a hint of grievance in his tone. However, when she saw the half-smile on his face, it didn’t seem like that.
Yu Yao gritted her teeth and decided to tell the other party about the matter. At least for now, it seemed that the person in front of her had no problems with his character. And if she wanted to solve the problem, she needed someone's help.
Gu Qing should be able to do it.
Then, he brought himself to this place in the middle of the night, and they were alone, which shows that he was intentionally protecting himself and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. You know, her climbing over someone else's wall could be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how he thinks, even though he also climbed over the wall.
From all this, it can be seen that Gu Qing is not actually a very conservative person, and those things should be discussed with him.
All the thoughts flash through my mind in just a moment.
Yu Yao raised her head and met the other party's puzzled eyes. She asked, "Comrade Gu, can you help me?"
Gu Qing waited and waited, and when he heard these words, his heart almost melted.
But there were still many problems between the two of them at the moment, so he had to suppress the throbbing in his heart and said solemnly: "Tell me what happened first."
