Chapter 238 Cousin is back home
After so many days of fermentation, the news of Linglong Town has basically spread among the idle and unemployed circles.
There was a gold mine in the mountains, and people who were interested in it flocked to it.
After hanging out with Xiaomizi and his group for a few days, they joined another gang.
This group of people is better equipped and larger in number.
Bold action.
Xiaomizi and his gang learned their lesson this time. They worked hard for a week, hid some small gold grains before the incident, and ran away overnight.
When He Qi went up the mountain again, the place was completely empty, replaced by another group of unfamiliar people.
Without exposing himself, He Qi went straight down the mountain and drove to Jinji Town to look for Yang Wanchun. When he arrived at his house, he did not find him but was stopped by two bruised-faced street thugs.
Erbazi whispered, "Don't knock, he's not home."
I waited for several days, and finally I found someone.
He Qi looked unhappy and asked, "Why are you squatting here? What's going on in the mountains?"
Erbazi was touched on the sore spot by Zhuzi, and he bared his teeth and said angrily: "Yang Wanchun, that bastard, ran away, and something happened in the mountains. Zhuzi and I have been squatting here for many days and have not seen him come back. He must have run far away."
Zhuzi followed up with a spit, "It's all the fault of that damned Yang Wanchun."
If he hadn't gotten everyone drunk and taken away all the gold nuggets, would Liu Min have lost his life?
He Qi's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked what happened, "What happened? Explain it clearly first."
"A week ago, the night after you delivered the rations, Yang Wanchun bought us some wine and meat under the pretext of rewarding us, got us drunk, and then he took all the food and ran away overnight.
The next day, those vicious guys took their anger out on us. There were more of them, so the three of us were tied up and beaten.
When they found out that the three of us were not familiar with Yang Wanchun, they got so angry that they hung us on a tree at the edge of the cliff and beat us with hemp ropes.
But the rope was not tied properly and Liu Min fell down. It was not until the late night that Xiao Mizi came to release us. Otherwise, we would have been in great danger.”
Erbazi regretted deeply when he thought that he was the one who had invited the beast. They did not dare to report the incident to the police.
If you fall from such a high cliff, you will definitely be smashed into mud.
After hearing his words, He Qi broke out in a cold sweat, his back felt cold, and he forced himself to say, "Let's go back to our respective homes and pretend that we never met and nothing happened."
The three of them had their own ulterior motives and no one mentioned reporting the case or looking for someone.
Zhuzi looked at He Qi who was about to leave and said anxiously, "We've worked for so many days, why don't you pay us some of our wages." Any more is better.
Erbazi knew that he should ask Yang Wanchun for help, but it would be a good thing to get some money from the person who lost the most.
He Qi sneered, "You ask me for it? Who should I ask for it? I was very polite of you not to ask you for money to buy the rations you have been eating for so many days. You should go ask Yang Wanchun."
After talking to the two people, He Qi drove directly back to Ze County.
Erbazi and Zhuzi were at a loss as they didn't get the money. They were scared and terrified that someone had died, so they didn't dare to continue waiting for Yang Wanchun in Jinji Town.
If they delayed any further they were afraid that Liu Min's family would come knocking on their door, so the two packed up their things and fled back to the countryside overnight.
He Qi returned to the transport team, completed the handover and then went back to the dormitory building.
What happened was completely beyond his expectations, not to mention that someone was killed.
He was in a state of panic all day long and dared not reveal any information about the matter. As for the people who were in trouble, he pretended not to know anything.
Time passed quickly and it was already late September in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Sheng studied in the provincial capital for more than half a month. In addition to finding out a lot of information, he also went to the Jiaotong University to meet Zhao Li.
Finally, I bought a watch ticket for Director Yu to celebrate his birthday before returning to Ze County.
This watch ticket was originally prepared as a dowry for his younger sister Zhao Lili.
pity……
She doesn't need it anymore.
Ze County Family Compound.
Lin Yiyi was collecting the quilt covers and mattresses that had been dried in the yard.
She felt a figure blocking the light behind her, and after looking at the outline of the shadow, she guessed that it was the man who had returned.
Lin Yiyi did not turn around immediately. Instead, she lifted the quilt hanging on the clothesline and pretended not to know that someone had walked to the other side behind her and stood opposite the man through the cloth.
Time seemed to stand still as the two of them sat facing each other across the curtain.
No one took the initiative to lift the cover.
The seconds hand ticks away.
Lin Yiyi felt that her little tricks to tease men were not interesting at all, and the man did not accept them.
It didn't go according to her settings.
She patted the quilt twice, grabbed a corner and pulled it down. Without the cover, she saw the man she hadn't seen for many days. Lin Yiyi even pretended to exclaim to cover up, "Hey, you're back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Zhao Sheng suppressed his smile and spoke in an exceptionally calm tone.
He had known for a long time that she was pretending not to see him.
She was not tall, and the clothesline was taller than her, so it could cover her but not him.
Zhao Sheng now finally understood why she occasionally hid the biscuit box on the wardrobe.
Lin Yiyi thought she was bored, so she waited for the man to take the bedding off the clothesline and then went home.
After entering the house, she went straight to the inner room and made the bed again.
When I walked out again, the table was already piled with things, and there was a very mini and simple red three-wheeled car next to the stool.
Lin Yiyi pushed the pedal car for a few times and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is so cute, but isn't it a little too early? It will take at least two years to be useful."
Seeing her naughty look as she tried to ride in the car, Zhao Sheng smiled and said seriously, "It's better to be prepared. Do you think you need anything else?"
"No, that's all for now. There's no place to put more."
Lin Yiyi looked at the table piled with small clothes, small socks, small hats, two small quilts, milk bottles, small rice spoons, bibs, and overalls.
As well as a small spinning top and some comic books for children.
It's a bit of a headache, I feel like I bought it too early.
Zhao Sheng found it funny to see her worrying about where to put her things.
He plans to wait until he gets the house before talking about it. If he does it too early and something goes wrong and fails to get it done, it will not be a good thing.
For dinner, we had rice mixed with wild vegetables and spicy sauce made by Lin Yiyi, served with steamed pumpkin and cold cucumber, a small dish of spicy cabbage and egg pancakes.
After eating and washing up, the two went to bed early and leaned against the head of the bed to listen to the radio.
Unable to do anything, Zhao Sheng could only hug Lin Yiyi and fan her, then listen to her telling stories about her daily fun experiences with his head tilted.
After she finished speaking, Zhao Sheng spoke softly, "Yiyi, your birthday is in a few days. Is there anything you want?"
The man's words stunned Lin Yiyi. It took her several seconds to react. She lifted her hair beside her ear and sighed softly.
"...I rarely celebrate my birthday, and for now...I don't have anything I want."
It's really ironic that when you ask for nothing, you have everything.
Her birthday is actually the Lantern Festival. When she celebrated the New Year in the countryside, she would pretend to be pitiful and ask men for gifts.
The September birthday belongs to the original guy, not hers.
Zhao Sheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, somewhat surprised by her answer. Without Lin Yiyi's specific request, he could only figure it out on his own.
Her account book is not as attractive as before.
It's really accounting.
What should he give her to make her happy?
