Zhang Anan was a little confused. What on earth was Mother Lu thinking?
"How about we go to the mountains and take a look?"
Lu Ming pulled her hand that was messing with his head and played with it in his hand.
"Let's wait and see! I went to ask the captain, and he said there aren't any legends about the mountains nearby. I don't know if he really doesn't know, or if he just didn't tell me."
"Is it possible that the captain didn't understand what you said? Should we ask again?"
Lu Ming thought back to the question he had asked at that time, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Is that a problem? I'm just asking if there are any legends or anything like that in the surrounding mountains."
Zhang Anan slapped him directly.
"Stupid, if you ask like that, there's definitely no answer! Who knows what legend you're referring to? Forget it, I'll find some time to talk to the aunties and grandmas on the team."
Lu Ming was afraid of being beaten again, so he nodded without saying anything.
Lu Ming and Zhang Anan have been busy at work these days. They discuss Lu family matters in their free time and don't pay much attention to Zhang Ling and the others.
That night Zhang Ling came to find them.
"Grandpa, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
When Zhang Anan saw that it was him, she immediately pulled him into the yard.
"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"
Zhang Ling glared at her unhappily.
Zhang Anli replied with a smile,
"No, how could that be? I'm so happy to have you here. Come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
"We've already eaten, don't bother with it anymore. Why is it so quiet? What are the children doing?"
Zhang Ling looked around and found it very quiet.
"Grandpa, they are all asleep. Come in and sit down."
Lu Ming walked out of the children's room and asked Zhang Ling to sit on the other side.
"Alas, I'm old now. I thought they didn't get enough sleep like us. Forget it, come in! I have something to tell you so I can go back and rest early."
"Grandpa, what's the matter that bothers you to come and tell us so late at night?"
Zhang Anan consciously crawled behind Zhang Ling, knelt down and started massaging him.
Zhang Ling looked at Lu Ming and began to speak seriously.
"I only found out about this because Lao Fu told me. Today, we saw two people in the mountains who said they were from your Lu family. I asked him about it, and he told me everything."
Zhang Ling stopped talking here and stared at Lu Ming blankly, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
Lu Ming knew what he meant and began to smile bitterly.
"Grandpa, just say whatever you want to say. I don't have any other thoughts about them. We have been trying to find out their news during this period. Don't worry about anything else."
"Grandpa, just tell me. You probably saw Lu Jianguo and his son. You should be familiar with their situation in the village. The other members of the Lu family might soften their hearts after hearing about them or knowing their situation, but we won't. Don't worry."
Zhang Ling turned around and glared at Zhang Anan, pretending to be angry and said,
"Are these the words you should say?"
Lu Ming knew that this was done for him to see, and he also knew that the old man was worried that he would misunderstand An An.
"Grandpa, she can tell you these things, so just tell us what you saw?"
"Grandpa, don't worry about these. I'm sure what I can tell you." After saying this, he made a gesture as if to beat someone.
Zhang Ling and Lu Ming were both amused by her.
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Don't be anxious after hearing this. This matter is very serious."
"Hey, Grandpa, just say it!"
"Why are you so anxious? After Lao Fu told me, I saw that they were the only two of them talking secretly, so I quietly crawled over to eavesdrop.
They were discussing how to secretly take the things and run away. From what they said, there was a treasure in the mountain behind us, but they didn't tell us where exactly.
The two of them were mainly discussing how to proceed with the plan, and I guessed about the treasure based on what they said."
Zhang Ling spoke it out directly in one breath. He had overheard all of this. In Ling State, he was a battle-hardened general who defended the country. Here, he was a founding general.
Although he is old now, he still has some skills. Moreover, he has been practicing his previous skills since coming here. Most people are no match for him.
"Grandpa, they didn't find you!"
Zhang Ling curled his lips at Lu Ming, not looking at him directly, raised his head slightly, and said proudly,
"Humph, I don't have that ability, would I go? I was the one who taught An An how to do this, don't you trust An An?"
Lu Ming lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hands, laughing secretly.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I didn't think straight."
"It seems that there really is a treasure hidden in this mountain behind. Lu Ming, I guess your eldest brother has been hiding in this mountain behind. Is it possible that your second brother and his family are also with them?"
Zhang Anan immediately thought of Lu Jianhua's family who had just left and disappeared.
"I'm not sure. I heard from people in the brigade that they saw them once, in the commune and the county town, and haven't seen them in either place since. Some people have also asked about them but haven't gotten any relevant information. It's as if they've never appeared."
"Your family is quite chaotic. You should be careful not to get yourself into trouble. I don't have the ability to help you now, but I won't hold you back either."
You guys can handle these things yourselves. I'm going back now. I'll tell you if I find anything in the mountains. Don't send me off."
Zhang Ling left after he finished speaking. His identity made it difficult for him to react now, and he also didn't have the ability to help anyone. It was best for him to protect himself.
Zhang Anan and Lu Ming were unable to defeat Zhang Ling and could only watch him gradually disappear into the distance with the dim light.
"Ah, is there really a treasure in the mountains? Should we go and steal it?"
Zhang Anan couldn't help but started to scream softly.
Lu Ming reached out and patted her head.
"You, the back mountain is so big, do you know where it is? Don't let others take away all the things before you find it."
"So what should we do? How did they find it? How about we go ask the villagers tomorrow?"
Zhang Anan felt a headache when he thought of the endless mountains behind him.
Lu Ming shook his head after hearing this.
"Don't ask. The captain reminded me earlier that someone had seen it. If they knew these things, there must be someone else in the team who knew.
If we ask these questions now, someone will definitely notice something, and it would be bad if something else happened.”
Lu Ming was mainly worried about causing a loss of life. People are selfish. If other people got to know some of the news, who knows if they would do something crazy when faced with the treasure.
Lu Ming didn't dare to gamble and didn't want to gamble. It was already 1966, the year when the movement began to break out in full swing. Don't get yourself involved, it's not worth it.
Zhang Anan instantly became a little dispirited when he heard him say that, and hung his head.
