With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era
Chapter 177 42 Bangzi Noodles
Xue Ming led the excavation team to the cave where the treasure was located. After some research, the team members quickly determined that this was a man-made cave, and they were all very happy.
Wu Wenjing ordered everyone to immediately move the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave. With a pickaxe, everyone opened the mountain and cracked the rocks. Others rushed to the county town to shake people.
Xue Ming sat on the mountainside and looked at the scenery. As a guide, you must have the awareness to be a guide. There were only a group of obsolete weapons left by the Japanese in the cave. The silver coins and silver bricks had been taken away by him.
He was the most leisurely person at the scene. Wu Wenjing walked up to him and sat down to watch the scenery with him. "There may be countless gold and silver jewelry in the cave. I'm curious why you are not excited at all?"
Xue Ming shook his head, "There is no need to get excited. I have handed over the treasure map to the country and have nothing to do with me. What is there to be excited about?"
"Are there really people in the world who regard money as dirt? Do you have such a noble sentiment?" Wu Wenjing joked with him with a smile.
Xue Ming stopped talking to him and calmly admired the vast forest. He would say goodbye to the forest soon.
Five days later, a large group of people came. They were all strong laborers of the Zhaocun Brigade, and Gao Laoba, the party secretary, was also among them.
With the strength of many people, everyone worked day and night for seven days and seven nights to finally pry off the big stone. The moment the huge stone rolled down the mountain from the entrance of the cave, cheers resounded in the sky.
The calmest person was Xue Ming. He was still sitting on the mountainside watching the scenery, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Comrade Xiao Xue celebrates with everyone. The more treasures there are in the cave, the greater the reward the province will give you." Wu Wenjing really couldn't stand the calmness of the young comrade.
"Okay." Xue Ming stood up and shouted at Lin Hai, startling a flock of birds and making everyone laugh.
Wu Wenjing was speechless and immediately ordered Gao Laoba to take the members of Zhao Village to the foot of the mountain to wait for the order, mainly because he was worried that other people would rush to snatch the treasure.
"Comrade Xiao Xue, will you go into the cave with us?" Wu Wenjing asked Xue Ming out of politeness.
"I won't go in. I wish you all your wishes will come true." Xue Ming continued to stare at Lin Hai in front of him in a daze.
Wu Wenjing led the heavily armed team members into the cave. Xue Ming first heard their cheers, and then heard them cursing.
After a long time, Wu Wenjing walked out of the cave dejectedly and came to sit next to Xue Ming. "Guess what treasure we found?"
Xue Ming shook his head and gave him a cigarette, took out a match from his pocket and lit it for him.
"These are the guns and ammunition left behind by the Japanese when they surrendered. Captain Hu said they could equip a battalion." Wu Wenjing was choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly.
"The country is also short of weapons these days. Congratulations to Uncle Wu for making another great contribution!" Xue Ming congratulated him while holding back a smile.
"If these weapons had been left in [-], they would have been treasures more precious than gold. Now they are worthless!" Wu Wenjing was very depressed and arranged for someone to go down the mountain to invite Gao Laoba.
The people from Zhaocun Brigade came here to do coolies. They were responsible for carrying the arms in the cave out of the forest. Xue Ming asked Gao Laoba in a low voice, "What benefits does Wu Wenjing give you?"
"Each person has four taels of stick noodles per day. I want to thank you. If it weren't for your face, we wouldn't be able to do such a fat job." Gao Laoba actually had a look of joy on his face.
Xue Ming looked confused. He only got four taels of cornmeal for a day of hard work, "Uncle, are you serious? This is worse than Zhou Papi."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Laoba nervously held Xue Ming's hand and looked up at the survey team in front of them who were traveling lightly. "Four taels of stick noodles is a lot. Our village eats sweet potato noodles every day."
Corn flour is indeed superior to sweet potato flour. Xue Ming, who is used to eating wheat flour, has a hard time understanding their sense of satisfaction, so he stops talking and walking with his head down.
Three days later, the team finally returned to the Zhaocun brigade. Dozens of donkey carts were parked outside Zhaocun, carrying bags of cornmeal.
There was a crowd of people nearby. The news that there was a treasure in the forest had spread to everyone, and everyone wanted to see the excitement.
The women took their children to look for their men, and Xue Ming's relatives squeezed out of the crowd to surround Xue Ming and inquire about his welfare.
Liu Yue'e laughed and scolded her daughter-in-law, "I told you not to worry. Your man is the most capable hunter. The vast forest is our back garden."
Han Yourong glanced at her husband with a silly smile on her face. These days, she often had nightmares and was worried that she would become a widow again.
"I'm very fine. You don't have to worry about me in the future." Xue Ming held his stepson Xue Yuan in his arms and watched the fun with his family.
Wu Wenjing and Gao Laoba were settling their wages. The members who had received cornmeal were all smiling, while the members who had not been able to do coolies could only be envious.
The members loaded the arms boxes on the car. Wu Wenjing came to Xue Ming and said with a smile, "This must be the Xue family's sister-in-law who is going to work as a salesperson in a department store, right?"
"I'm Xue Mingfu, comrades, you're welcome." Liu Yue'e hurriedly replied, a little embarrassed to be called sister-in-law by a middle-aged man.
Wu Wenjing looked at Han Yourong again, "My nephew Xue Ming is really discerning, and my nephew's wife is a comrade who is diligent and thrifty at first glance."
"Hello, uncle." Han Yourong was even more embarrassed when he heard the compliment. In order not to embarrass his own man, he mustered up the courage to face the leaders in the provincial capital.
Xue Ming introduced Wu Wenjing to his family, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in awe. Nowadays, the social status of civil servants is unique.
"Sister-in-law, niece-in-law, I want to say a few thoughtful words to Xiao Xue." Wu Wenjing said.
"Okay, okay, Xue Ming will invite Comrade Wu to our house for tea." Liu Yuee immediately arranged for her daughter-in-law to go home and make tea.
"There's no need to drink tea. I have to go back to the county seat right away. Xiao Xue, let's go over there and talk." Wu Wenjing pointed to the old locust tree outside the village.
He felt that Zhao Xue's appearance, temperament, and knowledge were better than Han Yourong, and he didn't understand why Xue Ming gave up on Zhao Xue.
The two of them came under the old locust tree. Wu Wenjing asked Xue Ming for a cigarette, "I will try my best to help you get rewards in the report, but don't have too much hope. This batch of arms is not very valuable."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Xue Ming didn't have much hope. Nowadays, the world is full of semi-automatic rifles, and the [-]-meter rifles he used in his childhood are useless.
"Wait for the news at home. The reward will be in your hands within ten days at most. My son, there is only so much I can do to help you." Wu Wenjing sighed again.
"Uncle, take this honey back to feed the children at home. This is the best thing I can get." Xue Ming quietly took out two bottles of honey and put them in his hands.
"Don't be polite to me. Come to my house for a drink when you go to the provincial capital to receive the award. My house is very close to Zhao's hometown." Wu Wenjing wrote out the address and handed it to Xue Ming.
Xue Ming suddenly became interested in rewards. Although the "treasure" dug out was not valuable, the act of handing in the treasure map was very valuable.
There is an ancient story about horse bones being sold for a thousand pieces of gold, so the rewards given by the provincial capital may be more generous than imagined.
