Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

There was complete silence all around, even the wind seemed to have stopped.

Lin Shu was secretly annoyed. Why was it that every time she woke up, there were men trying to take advantage of her?

Xu Ming was so frightened that he dared not move. He rolled his eyes and caught a glimpse of the slap mark on Gu Jiu's face. He swallowed hard and thought, it's over. He had to prepare for the violent storm from the devil!

Gu Jiu pressed his tongue against his cheek and spat to the side, "How dare you hit me!"

Everyone looked at Lin Shu in horror.

When Lin Shu heard an unfamiliar male voice, she opened her eyes suddenly, and was greeted by a face that captivated everyone and a strange smile on his face.

Lin Shu sat up from the ground in shock and looked at Gu Jiu carefully. She finally recognized who this man was. He was the man who bought rice from her last time and asked her to deliver the rice to her door.

Even though this man was wet and a little disheveled, it was still hard to conceal his noble temperament.

Suddenly, Gu Jiu leaned close to Lin Shu's ear and said something, lowering his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Xu Ming saw Lin Shu suddenly get angry and her face turned red. She raised her foot and kicked Gu Jiu. He quickly stopped her: "Hey, cousin Lin Shu, you can't kick her. You can't kick her. She just saved you. We can't be ungrateful. Let's talk it out nicely. Let's talk it out nicely."

Although he was trying to persuade them to reconcile, he felt like a cat scratching him in his heart. He was extremely curious about what Gu Jiu had said just now that made Lin Shu so angry that he wanted to kick him.

Lu Yinhua also hurried over to persuade her, "Yes, yes, little sister, they just saved us, several lives. He is now our family's benefactor, you can't kick him, talk it over nicely."

Lin Shu was angry and ashamed. She really wanted to kick the man in front of her into the Qingjiang River to wash him clean. However, everyone around her tried their best to persuade her to stop her, leaving her unable to vent her anger. She felt so aggrieved!

Gu Jiu raised a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then he staggered back two steps like a drama spirit, as if he was really afraid that Lin Shu would kick him, "Cousin, why are you so hot-tempered? After all, I am your savior. How can you kill the person you want as soon as you get ashore... Ahem, kill your benefactor first?"

When Xu Ming heard him calling his cousin "girl", the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. What kind of weird name is that?

"Who is your cousin?" Lin Shu propped himself up and was about to stand up.

Gu Jiu pointed at Xu Ming nonchalantly: "He and I are brothers. He calls you cousin. Is there any problem with me calling him that?"

"No problem, no problem." Lu Yinhua took over the conversation, tidied her wet clothes, and asked with a shy smile: "My two benefactors, if you have time, can you come to our house and have a seat, let the big brother on the boat come ashore, and have a simple meal at home? You see, you saved our family of five, we have to express our gratitude. We are from the countryside, and we don't have anything to treat you at home, but we still have enough farmhouse dishes."

When the old helmsman saw someone pointing at him, he hurried to dock the boat and let the two children go ashore.

Xu Ming waved his hand and refused: "We still have a mission to complete, and saving people is just a matter of convenience, so we won't go to your house."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Shu who was rolling his eyes at Gu Jiu, suppressed his smile, and said to Lin Shu: "Cousin Lin Shu, although the weather is warm now, you are soaked all over. You still have to go back and change your clothes early. Don't catch a cold when the river breeze blows by the river."

Lin Shu had a good impression of Xu Ming. In response to his concern, she said calmly, "Thank you, Brother Xu. Are you really not going to have a simple meal at home before leaving?"

"No, I'm out on business this time, so I can't stay too long. You guys should go back quickly. Next time you have time to go to the county town, remember to come and visit me."

After Xu Ming said this, he jumped past them and onto the deck first.

Gu Jiu raised his lips and looked at her with interest. When he passed by her, he sighed softly, "So soft!"

Lin Shu's frustrated mood found an outlet, and he raised his foot and kicked him, thinking that he would be able to kick him from the back this time.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu seemed to have eyes on his back. He bent his knees and jumped onto the boat, while Lin Shu kicked in the air and failed to stop, and came into close contact with the ground.

Looking at Lin Shu who was splitting with a single stroke, Xu Ming asked with concern: "Cousin Lin Shu, are you okay?"

Lu Yinhua came over to help her up, and said in a blaming tone: "There's a lot of water on the ground just now, the ground is slippery, you have to be careful when you walk."

Gu Jiu seemed to be in a very good mood. His provocative eyes met Lin Shu's knife-throwing eyes, but he just smiled complacently and leaned lazily and comfortably on the edge of the boat to bask in the sun.

Lin Shu waved goodbye to Xu Ming and watched the boat leave the shore and slowly sail into the river. He couldn't help shivering when the river breeze blew.

"Aunt, I'm cold." Lin Xiaojun looked listless at the moment, and his lips were pale.

"Little sister, stop looking. Let's go home and change clothes. It will be terrible if we catch a cold." Lu Yinhua urged.

Xu Ming watched several people on the shore walk through a path and directly into the forest. He turned back and took off his wet clothes.

"You usually ignore girls, why are you picking on Lin Shu this time?"

Fortunately, they brought a set of clothes on this business trip. Otherwise, not only would they be soaked without a change of clothes, but they would also have to sit on a boat for dozens of miles while being wet, exposed to the wind all the way. Even if they were strong, they would have caught a cold.

Gu Jiu unbuttoned his clothes slowly and said, "It's not that I'm against her, it's that she's very mean. Didn't you see her kick me?"

Just slap him and don't say anything, after all, you are taking advantage of him.

Xu Ming also saw Lin Shu trying to kick Gu Jiu but failed, and ended up splitting himself. Thinking of that scene now makes him want to laugh, "Cousin Lin Shu is quite interesting, she is different from other rural girls."

Nowadays, when rural girls meet them, they generally act timid, feel inferior, and are ignorant, but Lin Shu gives them a different feeling.

Gu Jiu's eyes flickered, he changed his clothes and trousers, smoothed his wet hair, and asked casually: "I see you are not familiar with her, why do you call her cousin?"

Xu Ming did not hide anything about his relationship with Lin Shu and explained his relationship with Ding Zaichun and Lin Shu.

Suddenly, Xu Ming thought of something and moved closer to the edge of the boat. "What did you say to her just now? What made that little girl want to hurt you?"

Gu Jiu coughed twice uncomfortably: "Ahem, I didn't say anything."

Xu Ming looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing what he said. Finally, as if he had discovered a new continent, he found that Gu Jiu's earlobe had turned red.

Hey, I've seen this before!

"You are not going to use the favor of saving her life to blackmail the girl into marrying you, right?" Xu Ming said his guess fearlessly.

Gu Jiu glanced at the river bank with contempt: "She is not a beauty, so why should I force her to marry me?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Ming knew he had said the wrong thing. "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. You are the ninth son of the Gu family. The girls who want to marry you from the provincial capital can be lined up from the south to the north of the city. Those girls are better than this girl in terms of appearance and family background."
