Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

At night, after drinking a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea, Jiang Yu rinsed his mouth and crawled into the warm bed, thinking that he had to make skis for his friends tomorrow. He had to go to Lao Liu's house to change the wooden boards and call Fu Biao to do the hard labor!

As I thought about it, I became confused and my consciousness sank.

The charcoal sealed in the stove eye occasionally made a noise, but it did not affect the sleeping woman at all.

When a little light came outside, the man turned over in bed, but did not get up immediately. He dawdled for half an hour before finally getting up slowly.

No wonder people like to hibernate in bed. It’s so comfortable to lie in bed in the cold winter!

Jiang Yu took the autumn clothes and trousers from the side and put them on in the bed, and then put on the sweater and trousers. Although she wanted to wear something lighter, she had to fit in and not stand out. So she could only wrap herself up layer by layer.

After getting up and washing up, Jiang Yu started to prepare breakfast, the same old thing, buns and porridge.

I was originally thinking of asking Fu Biao to do some hard labor, but who knew that the male educated youth across the street were so enthusiastic about snowboarding that they came knocking on the door when I was halfway through eating ginger fish rice.

Jiang Yu let the people in, then quickly finished his breakfast, and went to Old Liu's house with them, holding his hat and gloves.

Because she had help, Jiang Yu worked much faster. After she finished making the skateboard in the room, she came out with a hammer and other tools and asked everyone to help her drill holes and weave ropes.

But it took only one day to make five pairs of skis.

The male educated youth who got their own snowboards excitedly took carving knives and left their names in the corners. Fu Biao also wrote the words "Personal property, do not touch!" in the corner of the skateboard.

Xue Li bumped Jiang Yu's shoulder and said, "Tsk tsk, these men are so childish!"

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

After the men finished their little tricks, several of them wrapped themselves in scarves, put on gloves, and rushed out the door fully armed with skis.

Liu Qiang and Chen Lei were chopping wood in the front yard. Seeing this, they looked at it in confusion, "What are they holding?"

"I don't know. I saw them coming back with a lot of wooden boards yesterday. They made a lot of noise all day, and today they went out with wooden boards again. I don't understand these people." Chen Lei curled his lips, but did not dare to say anything unpleasant. He would remember for the rest of his life the scene where Jiang Yu knocked him down on the first day.

Liu Qiang smacked his lips, then swung the axe and continued chopping wood.

"Let's go to Yaoer Mountain today to see if there is a higher slope. This short slope is not fun enough!" Fu Biao had only played it twice the day before yesterday, and he already started to complain that the slope was not high enough.

But the others also wanted to have fun, so without thinking, they all nodded in agreement.

When the villagers saw them going up the mountain, they all shook their heads and said, "It's so cold, I don't know what they are doing."

Yi Chi was breaking ice near the reservoir, and he needed to get some water.

Jiang Yu put down his skis, reached out to take the long-handled hammer from his hand, and made a big hole in it with two hits. "Here." After handing the hammer back, Jiang Yu picked up the skis and followed his friend.

Yi Chi put down the hammer and said to her, "Be careful and don't go into the mountains."

"I know." Jiang Yu ran away without even looking back.

Behind Yaoer Mountain are mountains that are getting higher and higher, but on the left there is a small hill that is taller than Yaoer Mountain but has less lush vegetation. It is backed by the Tuanjie Brigade, and this place is also the only way for people from that side to enter the mountain.

"Let's slide down over there!" Xue Li pointed to the middle of the hill. The snow there was smooth and perfect for them to play.

"Okay." Several people started climbing the hill excitedly.

Jiang Yu had sharp eyes and saw a long black strip higher up. She pointed in that direction and asked, "What is that?"

??? Several people looked over. It was a long black piece. It didn't look like wood. It moved a bit when the wind blew. It looked a bit like cloth or something.

"What a joke! Could it be a homicide?" Xue Li's first reaction was the various criminal investigation scenes he had seen in his previous life. Memories of encountering unknown strange objects on the road, large and bulky black garbage bags, and human hands that looked like fried chicken feet all came to his mind in an instant, and he became inexplicably excited!

Chen Jinghan was very puzzled as to where all these weird ideas came from. It was a murder case, but this wasn't some deep mountain forest. Who would kill someone and dump the body far away? Was she inexperienced or was she just scared silly?

But all these complaints disappeared after Fu Biao used a branch to push away the thin layer of snow around him.

What the hell??? It’s a dead body!!

Xue Li's heart was shaking with excitement, and his hands were trembling, but now only his lips were shaking!

"Damn it!" Fu Biao subconsciously threw away the stick. Although he had been a soldier, he had never been to the battlefield and had never seen death. He was just an ordinary soldier. Therefore, even the bravest man would not dare to face a corpse so suddenly.

In the end, Jiang Yu was still the calmest among all the people. She pulled Xue Li and asked everyone to step back. "Fu Biao, go ride your bike and report to the police in the town. Chen Jinghan, wait until Fu Biao is far away before going to the captain's house. Don't spread the word and bring the people here quietly. The few of us will find a place sheltered from the wind and hide here to see if anyone will come. The person who comes may be the murderer, or may be just passing by..." In short, they can't all leave, they have to keep an eye on them.

Fu Biao and Jiang Yu looked at each other and said, "Are you sure I want to go? Otherwise, let Wu Aiqing go. I have some experience and can help you deal with the bad guys."

"No one may come. The body is already stiff, and it must have been dead for some time. Judging from the hair, it's a female. Hurry up and call the police." Jiang Yu was confident in her ability. Even if the person who came had a wooden cannon, she was not afraid. "But Xue Li, it's better for you to go back to the educated youth camp first, for safety."

As for Xiong Lijin and Wu Aiqing, they would definitely not go back. Even if Jiang Yu drove them away, they would not leave her alone out of affection.

Chen Jinghan grabbed Xue Li, who opened his mouth to speak, and went around the mountain with Fu Biao, then quickly ran towards the village on skateboards.

Jiang Yu and the other two went around to the right rear behind a large rock and waited for the police to come and take over the body in the snow.

However, Xiong Lijin felt that the body looked familiar, so he looked at it again and again, and finally asked Jiang Yu uncertainly, "Do you think that is Yang Xiaoling?"

"Yang Xiaoling?" The girl with long braids appeared in Jiang Yu's mind. She glanced at the braids behind the female corpse, but she was not sure because she was not very familiar with her. Jiang Yu had not observed the female educated youth carefully.

"I see that we are somewhat similar in height and body shape. There probably aren't many people who would go out wearing so little in this weather." Xiong Lijin looked at the cotton coat on the man, which was pinched at the waist. People here make long and wide cotton coats because they have to add clothes inside at any time.

Wu Aiqing took a breath, "What you said really does make sense." The last time he sprinkled medicine for constipation on Yang Xiaoling, he also followed Xue Li and the others out and hid behind an old lady to watch the fun. At that time, he thought that this girl must be in good health, or at least very resistant to cold!

"You should go down the mountain too. Never mind. The people at the educated youth point also saw you coming out with us." Jiang Yu originally thought that Xiong Lijin should stay away, but then he thought it was unnecessary. In the matter between Xiong Lijin and Yang Xiaoling, it was not Xiong Lijin who had a problem, so he did not need to be suspected.
