Chapter 142 Xiaoman saves life
Lu Jin glared at Qingshu, "Why do I like to listen to you less and less now? Tell me how things went?"
Qingshu chuckled, and then said seriously: "The troops from Lai'an County, Liuzhou County, and Fuhua County all went into the mountains to ambush under the guise of going up to the mountains to catch tigers. They were just waiting for an order from us to be arrested by the court. And there are other things.
We need to find out how many remaining rebels are in the cave and the way into the cave. Now we don’t know the specific situation in the cave, so we would be in danger if we rush in hastily."
Lu Jin pondered for a moment: "Let me think about this matter again. This matter must not be reported to the Tongzhou prefect."
Lu Jin's face darkened when he thought about the evidence that he had secretly found out about the secret collusion between the Tongzhou magistrate and the forces in the capital. His corruption and perversion of the law had not been dealt with earlier, but he was actually found out for such evil deeds.
After the stolen goods are collected, the whole family will send them to the mountains to mine.
Qingshu accepted the order and left, but Lu Jin began to worry. The evidence was in front of him, and he was just waiting to close the net to catch the fish, but how could he detect the situation inside the cave without alerting the snake?
Lin Xiaoman came in with a food box and saw Lu Jin frowning. Putting the food box on the table, Lin Xiaoman asked: "Is there something bothering you, sir?"
Lu Jin said bluntly: "The troops have been deployed in the mountain, but we don't know the route inside the cave and dare not enter the cave rashly."
Lin Xiaoman is also in a dilemma. Although her drone can transmit images over short distances via radio, it cannot transmit images from any further distance. Moreover, the drone is noisy when flying, making it impossible to enter the cave quietly.
It would be best if someone could enter the cave without being suspected, but where can such a person be found?
Lu Jin just wanted to talk to Lin Xiaoman and didn't expect Lin Xiaoman to give any good advice.
After the meal, Lu Jin praised today's dumpling fillings, especially the three fresh pork ones. Lin Xiaoman smiled: "Well, I also think the dumpling fillings made by the chef uncle are well mixed."
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and realized that he had praised the wrong person. There were many people eating in the county government, and the chef rarely made dumplings. Lu Jin had never eaten the dumpling fillings mixed by the chef, so he thought today's dumpling fillings were made by Lin.
Mixed with Xiaoman.
While Lu Jin was eating, Lin Xiaoman kept looking at his face. It seemed that his injury was almost healed.
So, after Lu Jin finished eating, Lin Xiaoman said goodbye, "The land at home cannot be left unattended. If your injury is healed, I will go back first."
Lu Jin wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but he also knew that Lin Xiaoman was right. The potatoes were harvested, and the sweet potatoes and beets were about to be harvested. Lin Xiaoman had to keep an eye on these.
Although he was reluctant to give up, Lu Jin still nodded, "Hire more people to work together. Don't do everything yourself. When I finish my work here, I will help you collect the land."
Lin Xiaoman responded with a smile, "Yeah, I know."
After going back and packing up the changes of clothes he bought in the county these days, Lin Xiaoman led the donkey out of the county office.
Let’s go say hello to the city people we hired earlier and ask them to go to Hedong Village to help out tomorrow.
When I got home, I went to the bathroom in the warehouse to take a good shower. Then I came out and turned on my phone. I saw several read messages on it, and Lin Erhu had already replied in his own tone.
Lin Erhu even delivered all the goods that Aunt Qi asked her to deliver. Lin Xiaoman felt that this boy has really grown up and can help her share the work.
As soon as I put the phone down, the ringtone rang. It was a call from Meng Meng.
"Xiaoman, where have you been these days? I don't answer your phone calls. No one is at home during the day. When I go home at night, only Erhu is there."
Lin Xiaoman felt guilty, "I didn't go anywhere. What happened to Sister Xiaomeng?"
Meng Meng sighed, "What can happen? It's not the nourishing cream. Those old customers are urging me these days, and some people ask me if the price is going to increase? It's okay even if the price increases. Let me take out the nourishing cream quickly."
For sale."
This time Lin Xiaoman sighed, Xu Yuanru was missing, and she couldn't get the nourishing cream even if she wanted to.
"Sister Xiao Meng, to be honest with you, the person who made the nourishing cream has disappeared, and I can't find him right now. I really can't get the goods."
Meng Meng was silent for a while before asking: "Is the nourishing cream selling so well that she wants to increase the price?"
Why do you always think of raising the price when you say you can't get the goods? Lin Xiaoman didn't understand what the people over there were thinking, so he could only say: "It's really not possible. I'll think of another way. It's best if I can find someone.
I can’t find anyone to get nourishing cream.”
Meng Meng sighed, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Lin Xiaoman returned home and went to the yard to dry the clothes washed in the washing machine.
When she looked up, she saw a drone hovering above her head. Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened as she watched the drone slowly descend and finally hover in front of her eyes.
Lin Xiaoman stretched out her hand, and the drone landed in her palm.
Needless to say, Lin Xiaoman guessed that this drone belonged to Xu Yuanru, and the purpose of flying over was obviously to convey some message to her.
Could it be that Xu Yuanru really didn’t disappear by herself, but encountered some danger?
There was a hidden compartment on the fuselage of the drone. Lin Xiaoman opened the compartment and saw two pieces of paper inside. After unfolding it, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort to get it. On the paper is a diagram of the internal structure of the cave, as well as a piece of paper with a list of main personnel, and at the end written in red pen: Xiao Man, help me! <
/p>
Lin Xiaoman didn't expect Xu Yuanru to be kidnapped by the people in the cave, but he still thought of asking her for help when he was in trouble. It can be seen that Xu Yuanru also regarded her as the last life-saving straw.
Since she can gain Xu Yuanru's trust so much, not to mention that some of the conflicts between the two in the past were just trivial matters, she can't ignore this cave distribution map.
Lin Xiaoman, who had just returned home, hurriedly rode on his donkey and rushed to Qingping County. On the way, he met Lin Erhu and Xu Qiuliang who were returning with a donkey cart. Lin Xiaoman only left a sentence as he passed by: "I am here today."
I won’t be back late.”
Watching the little donkey running away, Lin Erhu shook his head: "My heart was taken away."
Xu Qiuliang said with a smile, "You're still young and you have a lot to worry about. You'd better study hard and try to pass the quiz and then the college exam."
The primary examination is the test for children. In previous years, it was held in February, but this year the roads were blocked due to heavy snow and we have been busy with disaster relief. The test for children has also been postponed to mid-July, just a few days later.
If you can pass the quiz, you can take the college exam this year. Lin Erhu doesn't want to take the government exam after the college exam, but if you pass the college exam, you might as well go down and experience the atmosphere.
"Don't worry, sir. It's just a small county examination. If I still fail, it will be my husband who loses."
Xu Qiuliang rolled his eyes at him, "How many days have I been teaching you? I haven't allowed you to formally become a teacher. If you fail the exam, you are not allowed to call me sir in the future."
Lin Erhu chuckled and bowed to him, "Yes, uncle."
Xu Qiu's conscience was filled with joy at the uncle's cry, and he pinched Lin Erhu's face, "You kid!"
