Bai Fumei in the ’70s Chapter 119

Zhao Lanxiang heard the cautiousness hidden in his plain voice.

She looked up at the man she loves and hid the matter because she didn't want to see him jealous.

"Yeah, he is Jiang Li's brother. He sent her here on the way. You also know that... Jiang Li went back with a face wound before. Her family was very worried during the New Year."

He Songbai asked again, "Have you known Jiang Li before?"

He is very concerned about her affairs, but he did not pay attention to many things. But today, he especially wants to get to the bottom of the story. What is going on with that man who might have "abducted" her? If he wasn't afraid of being seen by others, he would have wished to scoop her in his arms and kiss her hard.

Zhao Lanxiang went on to say yes, "She and I are both from the same city."

"Is he gone now? Why did he not come in and sit down?" He Songbai said.

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't imagine the picture of the two of them meeting. She feared that the enemies would meet and splatter blood on the spot. Jiang Jianjun didn't want to see He Songbai, and he walked away very restrainedly. But even if Jiang Jianjun didn't leave, she would try every way to get him to leave.

The two of them were naturally out of harmony.

Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and said, "He is gone, let's... go back and eat."

Men seem to have a natural rough instinct, which suddenly became subtle at the right time. He Songbai noticed something wrong with his girlfriend, but she did not want to say it... He had to let it go for a while and wait for a while to solve it slowly.

There have probably been too many things happening at home recently, one after another, which makes people caught off guard. There is something hidden in her heart, and he is also the same.

He Songbai was thinking about talking to his girlfriend about what he was arrested and sent to confess.

Although he behaved calmly at the police station, speculation was wrong, and his reputation was not good. He Songbai hesitated for a moment, looking straight at the mountains in the distance.

The sunset melted in the evening, the outer aperture was dark gold, and the surrounding clouds were glowing brightly. The warm orange color was gradually dyed into a hot red.

The glow was scattered on the dark green hill, and birds were flying across the horizon leisurely. This is a peaceful environment belonging to the village, open and distant. This is what it is looked like for decades and even centuries, and it changes very slowly as if no trace of time would change it.

Everything is beautiful and quiet.

Poor people are struggling, but he is working toward the road of speculation.

He slowly said, "I was arrested today at the police station."

Zhao Lanxiang looked back at him, her eyes full of complexity.

He Songbai stared directly into the distance and continued, "Wu Yong reported me for speculation."

He saw the shocked eyes of his girlfriend, but he did not know that Zhao Lanxiang's shock at the moment was because she was reminded of Jiang Jianjun's words today.

He said, "If you are willing to promise me something, I can fish him out..."

It's fishing out, not "helping him."

Zhao Lanxiang, who was angry at the time, did not notice the difference in the words. She pursed her lips deeply and held her breath. Jiang Jianjun deserves to be an excellent general. He has always done things quietly like a snake. He said nothing about He Songbai, but he always knew.

The action in the police station is both his favor and warning.

He Songbai went on to say, "I don't know what happened. After writing the confession, I was released. I realized the reason now that you just said that it was because of Jiang Li. This time, I really owe her a lot." He said softly.

"It's great." Zhao Lanxiang said, she twisted the man's arm.

"Go eat. You will have the strength to cope with tomorrow when you are full."

He Songbai narrowed his eyes and said yes. He silently followed her to return home. Sanya had already eaten half of the food and still couldn't help but ask, "What about that big brother?"

"He is in a military uniform, so mighty!"

He Songbai couldn't help but want to knock on his sister.

Granny had finished her meal, and Li Dali had already carried her into the house. He Songbai's heart was mostly vinegar. He couldn't help but ask Zhao Lanxiang, "Is he really powerful?"

Zhao Lanxiang didn't nod but told the truth, "He is indeed quite majestic."

He Songbai's heart was soaked with old vinegar, and he strove to eat a lot.

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh, then paused and continued, "Brother Bai, how can you just eat rice? Come to eat a piece of meat, and make up for your muscle to be more beautiful. Actually, Brother Bai is also very handsome. When riding a bicycle through the village, I don't know how many girls are secretly watching."

He Songbai knew that many girls secretly watched him. But most of them looked down on him but felt that he could be admitted to college. They had a strange and complicated look.

When he was young and casual, he felt that those strange looks were a shame. Now he is used to it.

...

The next day, he and the subject went to X University. It seems that Teacher Gu had already approached Principal Fu, so Principal Fu was not surprised to see He Songbai again.

He explained their intention with the principal. The principal took off his glasses and considered it for a long time before finding the female teacher in the department where Wu Yong was teaching.

This kind of thing is more convenient to find female teachers. On this day, the female teacher listened to the words of the principal Fu, expressing anger and also some questions.

"How is this possible? Assistant Professor Wu seems to be a very gentle and polite person, and he is also very knowledgeable. Many workers, peasants, and soldiers like to ask him for a piece of advice!"

But the female teacher still summoned her students one by one according to the principal's instructions, and He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang stood outside the window holding their breath and listening quietly.

After standing for a long day and listening in the corner, the two found nothing. Almost all of the students denied the incident and expressed their anger. Why did the university ask them to talk about this kind of thing? They even asked if Assistant Professor Wu left because of this rumor.

He Songbai and the subject walked aimlessly on the campus, stepping on the fallen leaves on his feet. He gestured to Zhao Lanxiang and said, "That day, I was fighting with Wu Yong here."

"He helped someone here at that time, but I suddenly realized that he was the gangster I was looking for. In fact, the night when I helped Pan Yu in the cornfield the year before, I had a tangled fight with him. The bones on his shoulders were twisted and unfavorably long. I didn't expect it at the time that the bastard was this senior intellectual."

"I was looking for the men in the village one by one at that time. Taking a bath with them and touched their shoulders."

Zhao Lanxiang finished listening silently and said, "It is also possible that he was very cautious. He did not deal with his own students and found others..."

She sighed deeply, and both people understood. It was no different than finding a needle in a haystack.

They went to the state-run restaurant for lunch. They rested at Li Zhong's place at noon and returned to Hezi village by night. Gu Huaijin was not in the bullpen. Hu Xianxian crouched by the stove and silently cooked white porridge for two.

Two red sweet potatoes are buried in the charcoal fire and are exuding an attractive aroma.

His gaze was low and lost, the stubble on his cheeks was like a weed, and he looked embarrassed and sloppy as if he hadn't taken care of himself for a few days.

He Songbai greeted him.

"Mr. Gu didn't come back?"

Hu Xianzhi responded dismissively, his eyes dull. He scooped a bowl of porridge with a spoon and said, "He went to find the project money."

"Where can he find--" He sighed.

"There are thousands of yuans. If people have the heart to hide it, can't they hide it?"

He Songbai nodded, "Yes, according to your brother's cautious thought, Teacher Gu probably won't be able to find it in his lifetime. Even medicine will evaporate completely after time, which makes people can't accept it."

Hu Xianzhi listened, and his hand that stirred the spoon froze suddenly.

His brain flashed brightly, and he said uncertainly, "After listening to you, I seem to have guessed his idea."

Hu Xianzhi carefully moved the stove and he and Gu Huaijin's belongings. He glanced left and right, raised the shovel, and dug the soil.

Zhao Lanxiang's eyes were deepened by looking at his action.

Hu Xianzhi dug a little here and a little over there. After about half a meter deep, a black box came into his eyes.

Zhao Lanxiang and He Songbai's eyes couldn't help but startle, and they stepped forward.

Hu Xianzhi said, "No wonder he used to come here to hang around. This box had to be buried here before Teacher Gu lived in this bullpen."

He Songbai couldn't help but heaved the box out of stone, and with a big hand, he opened the box.

A damp, musty smell came. The things wrapped tightly in kraft paper were striking. The three of them unpacked the kraft paper in unison, and the gray-red banknotes finally came into view. Stacked one by one, very spectacular. More than the money hidden in Li Zhong's family cellar.

Zhao Lanxiang froze for a long time, her eyebrows twisted lightly, and she said, "I didn't think Wu Yong was powerful before, but now I have changed my opinion. He can hide money here. I admire his scheming."

The lost project money was found in the bullpen where Teacher Gu often lives. Who else would be blamed for this?

He Songbai also thought of it.

Hu Xianzhi thought of this as well.

Hu Xianzhi thought for a while and said, "If I dug up money here half a month ago, I might be convinced that Teacher Gu did it. But now..."

He touched the lock smashed by He Songbai and said, "This is the lock he bought with his first salary when he and I went to work in City S. It was made in that city—"

"If you go to the department store, you may find the record, and this box is also his."

Hu Xianzhi counted and found that a thousand yuan was missing from the project money.
