Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Last night, when Gu Mingyue arrived at the door of her home, she looked around the house and wanted to keep a souvenir.

So I took out the camera from the space and took a few pictures. I could see clearly, but it was dark, so the effect was not very good.

Now seeing everyone busy at work, she suddenly had an idea.

She clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "Fellow villagers, please stop what you are doing and listen to me.

I asked a classmate to rent a camera for me so I could take some photos as a souvenir. I will go to the town to get the camera back soon.

Anyone who wants to take a photo together? Please wait for me at home. Today we are mainly moving our things to my uncle's place. We will start to rob the house after we take the photos. What do you think?"

In the town, taking a photo costs 40 cents for a one-inch photo and 80 cents for a two-inch photo, which is equivalent to a junior worker's daily salary.

So taking photos is a particularly luxurious thing for people nowadays.

As soon as everyone heard that they were going to take a photo, they were all very excited.

Gu Guangyao had already escaped from Fourth Aunt Gu's hands, and now he asked excitedly, "Aunt, please take a picture for us. Can I take a picture of myself?"

Just as he finished speaking, he received a 'love greeting' from his father on the back of his head.

"Dad, I've already told you to stop hitting me on the back of my head. You're going to make me stupid. Who will take care of you in your old age?"

Although Gu Mingxin was used to his son's shamelessness, he still felt embarrassed.

After hearing his complaints, she said angrily, "Shut up! If you say one more word, I'll ask your mother to separate you from me when you get home."

Gu Guangyao doesn't have to worry about anything at home. His father takes care of the big things and his mother handles the small things. He is very comfortable.

Naturally, he was afraid of his father's threats.

Reluctantly, he muttered, "Okay, okay, you are my father after all, I will give you some face."

Gu Mingxin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.

Gu Mingyue chuckled and said, "Fifth brother, it's okay. I prepared the camera just to take pictures. If Guangyao wants to take a picture, just take a picture of him. I asked my classmates to prepare a roll of film for me, which is definitely enough."

Everyone was talking at once, "Oh, that's a real photo. We should go back and change our clothes later."

"If I had known, I would have just washed my hair."

"Dad, go back and put on the clothes we wore for our wedding and come back."

..............

Without participating in the discussion, Gu Mingyue handed the small stone to her sister-in-law.

Ignoring the look in his sister-in-law's eyes as she looked at him as a prodigal son, he pushed his brother's bicycle and ran out of the house.

Fortunately, she had practiced riding this 28-inch bicycle before.

She tried several ways of getting on the car, and finally found that sliding on was the most convenient.

Place your left foot firmly on the pedal, gently lower your right foot, push off the ground, and swing back a few times.

Then lift your legs high to get on the bike, cross the crossbar and push hard twice. It will sway from side to side at first, but after you get the hang of it, it will slowly become smooth.

While riding a bike, Gu Mingyue thought about how busy she would be in the next two days.

I'd better contact Boss Zhou when I go to town to see how he's preparing things.

It would be best if the deal could be done today so she doesn't have to make another trip tomorrow.

When they arrived in the town, Gu Mingyue first turned to the photo studio to ask if they could rent a camera.

Now all cameras take black and white photos, so of course she can't just take the camera in the space.

Fortunately, the photo studio rents cameras for two dollars a day, but you have to be in the town and have a proof of employment.

Or you can have a letter of introduction, but you must be accompanied by a photographer, who will charge an extra fifty cents. The road is too far.

Gu Mingyue thought about her photography skills, which were entirely due to the point-and-shoot cameras of later generations. She only needed to strike a pose.

It's hard to say about cameras nowadays. In the end, I chose to pay an extra fifty cents.

Fortunately, the photographer is quite old, otherwise it would be difficult to take him with me on a bicycle.

Because there is a strict separation between men and women nowadays, young men and women will be severely punished if they walk too close to each other, not to mention riding a bicycle with someone else.

After paying the money and taking the receipt, she told the photographer to leave the car with him first and go back to the village together after she finished shopping.

Gu Mingyue estimated that if the master hadn't seen her riding a bicycle, he would never have gone there after hearing that Gujia Village was so far away.

After putting on her makeup, she went to find Monkey and said, "Go ask your boss how the collection is going. I have to leave in the next two days, so I'm afraid I can't wait too long. It would be best if we can trade today."

When Monkey heard this, he asked her to wait a moment and he hurried out to contact Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou was at work when he heard someone calling for him at the door. When he went out, he saw it was Monkey.

Only a few of his confidants knew his official identity, and generally, they would not come to him unless there was something serious.

What is this now? Worried about something going wrong, he quickened his pace.

He was relieved when he learned that it was Sister Jin who was looking for him, but he was still anxious.

I have collected some food recently, but it is far less than the amount that Sister Jin wants.

Those watermelons helped him gain a lot of face last time, and he was worried that Sister Jin would never come back and he would miss this opportunity.

He asked Monkey to wait for him here and went back to the factory to ask for leave.

When he met Gu Mingde on the way, he knew that this man, like his brother-in-law, was a son-in-law.

He has a good reputation in the factory. I heard that he was recently selected as one of the advanced candidates, but he doesn't like this person very much.

Having been in the underworld for so long, he still has some ability to distinguish between human and ghost.

What's more, it was so obvious that Gu Mingde was calculating, and he was just trying to deceive others. To him, it was not considered astute.

He didn't expect that this person would take the initiative to greet him today.

Boss Zhou didn't take it lightly. He never let people talk about him. "Brother Gu, what's the matter?"

Gu Mingde deliberately moved closer to him and whispered, "Boss Zhou, is business going well recently?"

Boss Zhou's pupils shrank, and he asked back, "Brother Gu, the people in the factory respect me and call me Brother Zhou or Brother Tao, so I accept it.

But I don’t dare to accept your call of “boss”. We are all working class people with good family backgrounds, we dare not do those unnecessary things.”

Gu Mingde also went to the black market once and accidentally discovered Zhou Tao's identity.

The two of them had no vested interests before, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he just pretended not to know.

But now, when he thought of those unruly people in Gujia Village, a flash of anger flashed across his eyes.

He said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhou. I have no ill intentions. I just want to trouble you with something. Don't worry.

After this is done, we can go our separate ways. If I, Gu Mingde, say one more word outside, you will cut off my tongue."

When Boss Zhou heard this, he neither admitted nor denied it, but asked, "Tell me what you want to do?"

Hearing Boss Zhou's disguised acquiescence, Gu Mingde felt relieved and whispered, "There is a family in Gujia Village who has a large amount of gold bars. I have always wanted them, but I have no chance.

I recently heard that they are going to tear down their house and move. If I don’t take action now, I will never have another chance, so…”

"You want me to help you find someone to dig it up? How can you be sure that I won't take it for myself?"

Gu Mingde shook his head at Boss Zhou's words. "No, Boss Zhou, I'm not afraid of you sending people to dig. What's more, I hope you spread the news everywhere so that everyone in the town will know."

Boss Zhou looked at Gu Mingde, who had a gloomy face opposite him, and thought, wow, I didn’t expect this guy to be so cruel!

At the same time, he was also puzzled, "As far as I know, your hometown is Gujia Village, right? What are you doing here?"

Gu Mingde's face was grim. "No, not anymore. I want to make sure that Gujia Village will never have peace again."

Boss Zhou doesn't care about his love, hate, or vengeance, he only cares about the gold bars, no, to be more precise...

He asked calmly, "Tell me how you know those gold bars? Whose gold bars are they? Where are they buried? How many are there? If you don't tell me the truth, I can't believe you."

Worried that Boss Zhou would go back on his word, he hurriedly said, "It's my uncle's house. His house is at the foot of Gujia Village. At the beginning, I accidentally saw my uncle take out a wooden box.

I looked at it a few more times out of curiosity, and saw that after he opened the box, it was full of gold bars;

After my uncle died, the box disappeared, but it must be somewhere in the house. I have been wandering around the area for the past few days, so I can't be wrong."

"A wooden box? What kind of wooden box?"

Gu Mingde thought that Boss Zhou’s anxious questioning was because he was tempted by the gold bars.

He was somewhat reluctant, but he also knew that if he didn't go through Boss Zhou, he would have to find someone himself.

They should be preparing to build a house there now, so I'm afraid it's too late.

He was also worried that Boss Gu would get there first, but then he thought it didn't matter as long as he could arrange someone to keep an eye on him.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. It will never let the gold bars fall into the hands of others.

So he told the truth, "I don't remember the details, it was just a delicate wooden box. I also saw it secretly at the time, and it was far away, but I guarantee that the gold bars are absolutely real."

The person that the nobleman asked Boss Zhou to find was said to be a peddler from the south who fled to the north and hid, but he has not been found for so many years.

Recently, a noble person sent someone to tell me that it doesn’t matter if the person cannot be found. After all, so many years have passed and it is not certain whether the person is dead or alive.

But he had to find something, and that something was a wooden box containing gold bars and a set of jade jewelry.

The focus is on the wooden box, a wooden box made of golden nanmu wood.

The nobleman specifically instructed that even if the box was empty, it must be brought to him intact!

Boss Zhou felt that he could finally repay the benefactor's kindness during his lifetime.

Especially after hearing Gu Mingde's guess that those gold bars might have been stolen by his uncle when he was a peddler...

Boss Zhou was excited, "Your uncle is a peddler?!"
