Chapter 31 Be wise and protect yourself

After a day of hard work, I'm really tired.

After eating a few bites at my uncle’s house, I took Xiao Shitou home.

After simply putting his things in place, Gu Mingyue prepared to rest.

Before going to bed, review what happened today.

I guess her image in the village will change after today.

It will also be helpful for her future election as village party secretary.

After all, a weak person who needs protection may not necessarily be truly supported by anyone.

But a strong person who dares to face challenges can win people's hearts.

As for Qi Dashan's family, they have already planned everything to this extent, and they will never have the chance to do anything wrong again.

She just needs to wait for the conviction of a few people. If the sentence is too light, she will think of other ways.

In the end, this family won't dare to provoke her easily again in the future.

Usually, Xiao Shitou takes a nap during the day.

I probably won’t have time to sleep today. When I got home, I could hardly keep my eyes open.

After washing my face, I went to bed and fell asleep right away with my pillow.

Gu Mingyue was lying there trying to fall asleep when she suddenly remembered the package she found in the recycling station today. She didn't know what it was.

He sat up carefully again, took it out from the space and looked at it carefully in the moonlight outside the window.

It is wrapped in two layers of kraft paper and contains a purse.

Simple style, Gu Mingyue just opened her purse.

The emerald green that caught her eyes made her pupils shrink. How could it be?

Inside the purse was a jade bracelet. The key point was that this bracelet and the jewelry in the wooden box were all the same imperial green!

Gu Mingyue didn't believe this was a coincidence.

How could such a coincidence happen?

When did imperial green become so common?

A strong premonition told her that this was definitely a set with the jewelry in the wooden box.

Her heart skipped a beat and she felt her hair stand on end, as if she was somehow involved in some unknown strange incident.

At this time, she found that there were two pieces of paper in her purse.

She opened it eagerly, and found a page full of scribbles with all sorts of horizontal and vertical lines on it, which was incomprehensible!

When I opened the other one, it turned out to be a suicide note.

The person who wrote this suicide note was called Zhu Chunsheng.

The letter begins with "My name is Zhu Chunsheng. I live in a time of chaos and have no control over my life. I have no good end today, and it is all my own fault.

But I don't want to let the thieves get away with it. If someone finds this suicide note one day, I hope to find out the truth about what's in the letter.

A map is also attached. I hope that the gold, silver and jewels will be returned to the countrymen, which will be a good deed.”

The letter stated that Zhu Chunsheng was a landlord in the town.

He exploited peasants, amassed huge wealth and occupied land, served as a lackey of warlords, and was a traitor to the Japanese. In short, he was not a good person.

In the early stages of the Japanese's defeat, they realized something was wrong and were unwilling to accept the outcome.

He decided to hide all the gold, silver and jewelry he had looted in China in preparation for a comeback in the future.

So they found Zhu Chunsheng and asked him to arrange people to go up the mountain to dig an air-raid shelter.

In fact, the Japanese wanted to hide the gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhu Chunsheng naturally discovered it, but he did not make it public and instead wanted to take it for himself.

So he tried every possible means to find someone who was good at digging holes.

They sent people in by delivering supplies to the Japanese every day.

It took half a month to dig a tunnel halfway up the mountain.

Then something unexpected happened...

As soon as the two of them poked their heads out from halfway up the mountain, they heard someone talking on the cliff.

At first I thought I was being discovered, but when I listened carefully I realised it was the sound of two men arguing.

One questioned why he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and whether all the things he donated were just to gain his trust?

One of them confessed and used threats and inducements to try to make the other hand over the list.

In the letter, Zhu Chunsheng described what happened when the man questioning him said that he had already hidden the list in a box and sent it out together.

Gunshots were heard on the cliff, and then a man fell down.

Zhu Chunsheng only had time to grab the bracelet that fell from above, and then quickly retreated back into the cave.

Coincidentally, the next day, he heard a familiar voice from the Japanese.

I only had time to see the gauze wrapped around the other person's hand before I could get any closer.

Within a few days, all the craftsmen who went up the mountain disappeared mysteriously one by one.

Zhu Chunsheng discovered something was wrong, especially since the people who had dug the hole with him were nowhere to be found alive or dead.

He was filled with fear.

Knowing that trying to get the skin of a tiger will backfire, he wanted to run away, but the Japanese controlled his family and he couldn't escape at all.

So he repented before his death and left this suicide note, which he hid at home.

The letter ends with the words, "I only hope that one day I can meet a righteous man who can help me, and help the country by eliminating evildoers. This can be considered as accumulating good karma, and I can be reborn into a good family in my next life."

After reading the letter, Gu Mingyue's brows furrowed.

Putting aside Zhu Chunsheng's character, the things described in the letter gave her very bad associations.

The letter said, 'The next day, the owner of the voice appeared in front of the Japanese with gauze wrapped around his hands.'...

Can she imagine boldly?

The one who fell off the cliff was a member of the Red Party. As for the other one?

It’s hard to say whether they were the Japanese or the national army.

The point is, bracelet.

Send it out with the box? Suppose the person who fell off the cliff was an undercover agent of our party...

Then the original owner's father might have acted as a liaison.

In the meantime, did the original owner's father find out that something was wrong? Or did he realize that our party had been infiltrated and there was no one he could trust?

As a result, the box was never delivered, and then the original owner's father had an accident, and the matter was never followed up again.

But the list?

Gu Mingyue took the wooden box out of the space. She was so busy smelling the fragrance of the box that she didn't look at it carefully.

She turned the wooden box over and over, but found nothing. Was the list stolen? Or had it been sent out?

No, the box is still here. According to the original owner's memory, she doesn't believe that the original owner's father would be the kind of person who would keep money for himself and disregard morality.

Gu Mingyue felt as if a huge net was coming towards her invisibly, which was unexpected.

She didn't know how important this list was, but she understood that if it was leaked, danger would follow.

What's more, she was not sure whether the danger was approaching.

Alas, she just wanted to lie down, why was it so difficult?

I scratched my hair randomly, still unwilling to give up, and fiddled with the box in my hand again. Hmm? It looks like a pinhole?

I went downstairs to get a needle from the sewing box, inserted it carefully, and click!

A mezzanine popped up between the upper and lower layers!

The compartment is very narrow, so carefully use tweezers to remove the paper.

When she saw the name and the corresponding position clearly, Gu Mingyue felt that her heart was about to stop beating.

She has always claimed that she is a 'poor person who has suddenly become rich' with a small peasant mentality.

She has a patriotic gene and a sense of justice, but she is also more self-aware.

She decisively put the list into the box. She didn't have the ability to do that!

Any one of the guys on this list could crush her like an ant.

So she has to choose to protect herself first.

From then on, Gu Mingyue roughly understood the origin of the wooden box, but also fell into a dilemma.

But there's nothing she can do. She's just a small fry. Should she just send the list out so carelessly?

With her words and a letter from a traitor, she wanted people to believe the authenticity of the list? She was not that stupid.

Let it go for now. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely consider it without exposing myself.

Gu Mingyue stroked another piece of paper, thinking that the lines on it might be the route map.

It's just too sloppy, and it will probably take a lot of time to find it.

Fortunately, the location described in the letter was just behind the mountain of Gujia Village.

She doesn't care about anything else. If she can really find jade, it will be an extra layer of protection for the future.

After thinking about it, the space is still stable for the time being, so this bracelet is not a big deal.

Gu Mingyue tried to use her consciousness and space to negotiate, "Can you put this bracelet aside for now? I still need it. I'll find you something else later."

Mainly, she thought that this was snatched from the murderer's hands, so it must be his beloved thing.

Otherwise, why would he donate all the others and only keep this bracelet, even bringing it with him for negotiation?

I guess they didn't expect it to be ripped off in the end.

If the truth ever comes out, this will be the crucial evidence.

The wooden box is different. Not many people know about it, and it has been missing for a long time, so there is no way to find it.

Even if we trace back to the original owner's father, there would be no evidence at best.

However, Gu Mingyue secretly wondered whether it was possible to frame Gu Mingde for this matter?

She needs to think carefully about whether it can be done.
