Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.
Chapter 147 Isn’t this a coincidence?
the next day,
Zhou Yichen and Chu Yunting sent the person to the police station early, completed the handover of property, and then returned to the guesthouse to pick up Chu Xin and leave.
Chu Yunting was a little annoyed. After Chu Xin got in the car, he finally complained:
"Good job, you two! Yesterday I thought you were going out to assassinate someone, but I didn't expect you two were going to explore a haunted house!
How could you leave me out of such an interesting thing?!"
Chu Xin gave him a cold look and asked, "Aren't you taking a break?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunting became discouraged, "Didn't you let me sleep?"
Chu Xin didn't want to take the blame, "I also fell asleep and was woken up."
Everyone knows who called out without being told.
Chu Yunting looked at Zhou Yichen with resentment, but did not say a word of complaint.
Chu Xin understood that Zhou Yichen had already taught her a lesson.
"What about the haunted house? Who is that person?"
Chu Xin didn't want to see Chu Yunting's angry face, so she just found a random topic to change the subject.
Sure enough, Chu Yunting’s trip to the police station was not in vain. Although he did not participate in “catching ghosts”, he did find out everything that happened.
"I know that the man you arrested is the grandson of that housekeeper! His family ran away, leaving the housekeeper and his family to stay and look after the yard.
Those treasures were originally hidden in the family's ancestral tomb, but unfortunately, not long after they left, the old housekeeper dug out the things and hid them in a big tree in the yard.
The housekeeper's ancestors were carpenters, so he had some skills. In order to hide those things, he poured boiling water on the tree every day until it died.
The tree core is then hollowed out to hide something, and the work is done perfectly. The only drawback is that the fake side will fade over time, so they apply another layer of raw lacquer when the color fades.
It is said that after the raw lacquer dries, the color will turn slightly black, which can just neutralize the faded color.
Raw lacquer is also toxic to snakes, insects, rats and ants, and can protect the box in the trunk. Therefore, three generations of the family have been applying raw lacquer regularly for many years.
Those Red Guards who went to the yard to smash things up were unlucky; they happened to arrive just after the lacquer was applied and was at its most toxic, so some people died."
Chu Xin nodded. "Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren worked so hard, but unfortunately, in the end, they got nothing!"
Chu Yunting deeply agrees with this.
"That's what they deserve! You don't know how bad they are.
In order to make people believe that the yard was haunted, they also painted raw lacquer on the base of the yard's walls, so that anyone who approached the yard, including those who wanted to demolish the yard and build a house there, would be poisoned by the lacquer.
It's just an allergic reaction anyway. Those who are in good health can just go back and suffer for a few days and be fine. If those who are not in good health die, it will only confirm the rumors that the yard is haunted!"
"If you ask me, these cunning fellows, why don't they just keep painting while the Sakura Country devils are around? Wouldn't that way they could kill a few of them?!
They really bully the weak and fear the strong, picking on people from their own country to bully them!"
Although Zhou Yichen was driving, he did not miss their conversation.
"It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. When profit threatens life, saving life first is the first choice."
In this way, the three of them discussed this matter all the way until they arrived at Wulong Commune.
Chu Xin only asked Zhou Yichen to take them to the intersection before entering the commune, and then sent them both away.
Driving a car is too conspicuous. People are watching her wherever she goes. It’s better for her to be alone and safer.
After wandering around the commune for a long time, Chu Xin didn't buy anything, but he did manage to knock out two people who were following him.
Then he turned around again and made sure that no one was following him before he began to ask for the direction of the Huaniuzhai Brigade.
Chu Xin's appearance and demeanor are becoming more and more like the end of the world. As Chu Xin has stayed in this body for a long time, there is no trace of her previous charm left.
But it's still beautiful.
Therefore, the beautiful Chu Xin received unwanted preferential treatment.
Even though she repeatedly emphasized that she could walk to Huaniuzhai Brigade, an uncle driving a bullock cart on the way kept inviting her.
"Come on up, girl, I'll take you all the way!"
"The Huaniuzhai Brigade is far away. You'll have to walk until the afternoon to get there!"
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm from the Huaniuzhai Brigade."
Chu Xin...
With a tense face, he accepted the curious gazes of other passers-by, but he was speechless in his heart.
I really didn't expect that this uncle would be so enthusiastic when I just asked for directions.
She originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now, after hearing this uncle's loud voice shouting, why should she keep a low profile?
She had no choice but to climb onto the oxcart despite the curious gazes of others.
"Thank you, uncle!"
The uncle chuckled and said, "What are you thanking me for? It's just on the way."
"What are you doing in our team, little girl?"
It’s no wonder he asked this question. Chu Xin is a stranger and not an educated youth from their brigade.
He was only carrying a cloth bag and had nothing with him, which didn't look like he was visiting relatives.
Chu Xin: Haha, what do you think? I was thinking of avoiding people and taking out the things in the space before joining the team!
"I'm going to look for Brother Tiger from the Huaniuzhai Brigade!"
"Oh, look for Lu Hu. He's a capable man in the team!"
Chu Xin was stunned. "Land Rover?"
The uncle didn't pay attention to Chu Xin's pronunciation, "That's right, you outsiders all like to call him Brother Tiger.
But, when he returns to our team, he is no longer Brother Tiger! Hahaha~"
Chu Xin nodded. Isn’t it said that no matter how capable you are outside, you have to keep it back when you get home?
Although Chu Xin stopped talking afterwards, he learned about Brother Hu from his uncle. He was an orphan without parents and grew up eating at other people's homes.
People also know how to be grateful, and if they have some ability, they will think about helping the people in the team.
Chu Xin was a little puzzled. Is the Huaniuzhai Brigade so tolerant towards those who resell on the black market?
"You have no objection to Brother Tiger's livelihood?"
At this time, the ox cart was approaching the brigade, and Chu Xin could even see the houses outside the brigade.
The uncle also slowed down his driving speed.
"Opinions? How could I have any opinions? He got into the county transport team based on his own abilities. We couldn't be happier for him!"
Chu Xin...
Fortunately, I didn't let the cat out of the bag. Brother Hu is really a good liar!
The people from the Huaniuzhai Brigade also saw a beautiful girl they didn't recognize sitting on the team's ox cart, and they all wanted to gather around to see the novelty.
"Uncle Niu, who are you pulling?"
Uncle Niu San flicked his whip and showed no intention of stopping. "We're looking for Hu Zi's family. Little girl, you're shy, don't come around!"
"Lu Hu's family? Oh, they're not relatives of his wife's family, are they?"
Chu Xin could only smile awkwardly but politely. It turned out that gossip was ingrained in the Chinese people's genes!
Uncle Niu saw that Chu Xin's expression was a little stiff, and knew that she was not good at dealing with these gossips, so he once again stopped the person who wanted to follow.
"Alright, alright, why are you following me? Aren't you embarrassed to see the girl? Disperse immediately!"
Then, amid the discussions of the crowd, he drove Chu Xin to Brother Hu's house.
Just at the fork in the road, I saw Brother Hu from afar with a stern face and a hurried look.
Before Chu Xin could say anything, Uncle Niu called out, "Hu Zi! There are guests at home!"
Brother Hu turned his head and saw Chu Xin on the ox cart. His eyes trembled. Why did she come here at this time?
Considering the chaos in the labor camp, isn't this just a coincidence?
