Zhao Lanxiang heard the cautiousness hidden in his flat voice.
She raised her head and looked at the man she loved, with a light tone, because she didn't want to see him look jealous.
"Yeah, he is Jiang Li's brother, and he sent her to the countryside by the way. You know... Jiang Li went back with a face injury a few years ago, and her family was very worried during the Chinese New Year."
He Songbai heard the words and asked again, "Did you and Jiang Li know each other before?"
He cares about her affairs very much, but he pays attention to not overstepping it many times. Today, he especially wants to get to the bottom of it. What the hell is going on with this man who is going to "abduct" the object. If it weren't for the fear of being seen by others, he would have wanted to hold her in his arms and ask her questions one by one, and kiss her hard.
Zhao Lanxiang continued to say yes, "She and I are both from City G."
"Has he already left? Don't come in and sit down." He Songbai said.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't imagine the scene of the two of them meeting each other. He was afraid that blood would be splattered on the spot when the enemy met. It happened that Jiang Jianjun didn't want to see He Songbai, so he left very restrained. But even if Jiang Jianjun didn't leave, she would try her best to let him go.
The two of them were born at odds.
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and said, "We've already left, let's... go back to eat."
Men seem to have natural rough nerves, and suddenly become subtle at the right time. He Songbai noticed something was wrong with the object, but she didn't want to say it... He had to put it aside for a while, and then slowly solve it when he was free.
It was probably because there were too many things happening at home recently, one after another, that caught people off guard. She had something in her heart, and he was no exception.
He Songbai was thinking about how to mention to the object what he had taken to the police station today.
Although he appeared calm at the police station, speculation was indeed wrong and his reputation was not good. He Songbai hesitated for a moment, staring straight at the mountains in the distance.
The sunset in the evening melted, and the outer aperture was black and gold, burning the surrounding clouds into a splendid, warm orange gradually dyed into a fiery red, surging like a sea of fire until it spread to the horizon.
The glow of Ugin was scattered on the dark green hills, and birds slashed their tails leisurely. This is the quiet color of the countryside, empty and far away. It has been like this for decades, or even hundreds of years, and the changes are extremely slow, as if there is no trace of time and years.
Closed and backward, beautiful and quiet.
Poverty makes people struggle, and he also struggles to the path of today's speculation.
He said slowly, "I was taken to the police station today."
Zhao Lanxiang looked back at him suddenly, her eyes full of complexity.
He Songbai stared straight into the distance and continued, "I was accused of speculation by Wu Yong."
He took the subject's shock into his eyes, but he didn't know that Zhao Lanxiang's shock at the moment was thinking of Jiang Jianjun's purpose today.
He said, "If you're willing to promise me one thing, I can fish him out right away..."
It is to fish it out, not to "help him".
Zhao Lanxiang, who was annoyed at the time, did not notice the difference between the words. She pursed her lips deeply and held her breath. Jiang Jianjun is worthy of being an excellent general. He has always beaten snakes and three inches in his work, and quietly sold a favor here. He didn't say a word about helping He Songbai, but she always knew.
This is both a compliment and a warning to him.
He Songbai continued: "I don't know what happened. I was released after I wrote the confession. I just realized that it was because of Jiang Li."
"I really owe her a lot this time," he said softly.
"It's very big." Zhao Lanxiang said, she pinched the man.
"Let's go to dinner. When you are full, you will have the strength to cope with tomorrow."
He Songbai narrowed his eyes and said yes, he silently followed behind the object and returned home. Sanya had already eaten half of it, and still couldn't help but ask, "Where's the big brother?"
"He's wearing a military uniform, so mighty!"
He Songbai couldn't help but wanted to knock his own sister.
Grandma had already finished her meal, and Li Dali had already carried her into the house. He Songbai was most jealous, and he couldn't help but ask Zhao Lanxiang, "Is it really powerful?"
Zhao Lanxiang didn't nod, but told the truth, "It's really majestic."
He Songbai was soaking in old vinegar in his heart, and ate with all his strength.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help laughing, paused and continued: "Brother Bai, why don't you just eat, come and eat a piece of meat, and make up meat will look better. In fact, Brother Bai is also very handsome, riding a bicycle through the village, I don't know. How many girls are fascinated to peek at it secretly."
He Songbai knew that many girls peeked at him secretly, and most of them looked down on him, but he felt that he was able to get into the university, which was a strange and complicated look.
When he was young and casual, he would have thought the strange gaze was a form of humiliation, but now he was used to it.
…
The next day, he and the subject went to X University. Thinking about it, Gu Gong had already approached Principal Fu, so Principal Fu was not surprised to see He Songbai again.
He explained his intention to the principal, and the principal took off his glasses and considered for a long time before finding a female teacher from Wu Yong's department.
It's more convenient to find a female teacher for this kind of thing. After listening to Principal Fu's speech on this day, the female teacher expressed anger and doubts at the same time.
"How is this possible! Assistant Teacher Wu seems to be a very polite and polite person, and he is also very knowledgeable. Many workers, peasants and soldiers like to ask him for advice!"
However, according to the principal's instructions, the female teacher summoned her workers, peasants, soldiers and female students one by one at different times, while He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang stood outside the window, holding their breaths and listening quietly.
After standing for a long day and listening to the corner of the day, the two of them found nothing. Almost all of them denied the incident, and expressed their anger. How could they talk to them about this kind of thing, and even asked Assistant Teacher Wu if it was because of this chasing.
He Songbai and his partner were walking aimlessly on the campus with fallen leaves on his feet. He gestured with the partner and said, "I had a fight with Wu Yong here that day."
"I helped him here, and I suddenly realized that he was the hooligan I had been looking for. In fact, the night I helped Pan Yu in the cornfield the year before last, I had a tangled fight with him. I know The bones in his shoulders are twisted and look unsightly. I didn't expect it to be this high-level intellectual at the time."
"At that time, I was looking for them one by one in the village, taking a bath with them and hooking up with them."
Zhao Lanxiang listened silently and said, "It is also possible that he was very cautious and did not find students from his department, but found someone else..."
She sighed deeply, and both of them understood, so it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
They went to a state-run restaurant for lunch, stopped at Li Zhong's at noon, and returned to Hezitun in the evening. Gu Huaijin was not in the cowshed, and Prophet Hu was squatting by the stove and silently cooking the white porridge for two people.
The sweet potatoes with red hearts are buried in the charcoal fire and are exuding a tempting aroma.
His eyes were low and lost, and the stubble beside his cheeks was a mess like a mass of weeds.
He Songbai greeted him.
"Mr. Gu hasn't come back?"
Prophet Hu responded dispensably, his eyes dull. He scooped a bowl of porridge with a spoon and said, "He's looking for engineering funds."
"Where can I find it—" He sighed.
"A few thousand dollars, if people have the heart to hide it, can't they hide it?"
He Songbai nodded, "Yes, according to your junior brother's prudent desire to dig into the heart of the earth, Teacher Gu is afraid that he will never be able to find it. The medicine can evaporate completely after time, which makes people unconvinced.”
Prophet Hu listened, and the hand stirring the spoon suddenly froze.
His brain flashed, and he said uncertainly: "Listening to you, I seem to have guessed what he was thinking."
Saying that, Prophet Hu carefully moved the stove, and then moved away his and Gu Huaijin's belongings. He glanced left and right, lifted the shovel and dug on the spot.
Zhao Lanxiang's eyes darkened due to his actions.
Prophet Hu dug a little here and a little there, to a depth of about half a meter. A dark black box caught people's eyes impressively.
Zhao Lanxiang and He Songbai's gazes were startled, and they stepped forward.
Prophet Hu said, "No wonder he used to come here to hang out. This box must have been buried by Mr. Gu before he lived in the cowshed."
He Songbai couldn't help but cut open the box with a stone, and with a big hand, he opened the box.
There was a damp musty smell, and the things that were tightly wrapped in layers of kraft paper could be seen. The three of them took off the kraft paper at the same time. In the end, what caught the eye was the gray-red unity. , stacked one by one into a pile, which is very spectacular. Compared with the "cellar" of Li Zhong's family, there is more.
Zhao Lanxiang was stunned for a long time, then frowned and said lightly: "I didn't think Wu Yong was very powerful before, but now I have changed my opinion."
"I have the ability to hide money here. I admire his scheming."
The lost project funds were found in the cowshed where Gu Gong habitually lived. Who should be responsible for this
He Songbai also thought of this.
Prophet Hu also thought of this.
Prophet Hu thought for a while and said, "If I had dug up money here half a month ago, maybe I would have believed that Teacher Gu did it. But now..."
He touched the lock that was smashed by He Songbai and said, "This is the lock he bought with his first salary when he and I went to work in S City. It was made in S City—"
"If you go to the department store, you may find the record, and this box is also his."
Prophet Hu counted and found that there was still a thousand yuan missing from the money.
