Since becoming the second uncle in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong has become completely calm. His waist no longer hurts and his eyesight is no longer blurry. When he has nothing to do, he wanders around the courtyard with a big teapot, thinking about it all the time. Demonstrate his authority.
Liu Guangqi also persuaded him several times not to be so high-profile, but the nature of a country is easy to change. If he could listen to advice so easily, then he would not be Liu Haizhong. It would be useless to do whatever he did afterwards.
After trying to persuade him a few times to no avail, Liu Guangqi didn't bother to persuade him anymore. Anyway, the harp was played in this courtyard and nothing big could go wrong.
After confirming the location of the gun, Liu Guangqi's main thought these days was to go to Longtan Park to retrieve the gun, but he didn't have time. He had to go to school during the day, and he didn't have enough time to go back and forth during the lunch break, let alone retrieve the gun.
It's even more impossible at night. Not to mention that you can't go. Even if you go to the park, it's closed. Besides, if you stay in the park alone at night, you'll be in trouble if someone catches you. So Liu Guangqi could only stay in school these days and read the medical books Bai Mei brought him when he had nothing to do.
Bai Mei brought him a total of five books, one was the Compendium of Materia Medica, and the remaining four were the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine: "The Three Character Classic of Medicine", "Binhu Pulsology", "Ge Kuo of Medicinal Properties", "Song of Soup" and so on. Although Liu Guangqi has read all the books, which are entry-level medical books on traditional Chinese medicine, there is no harm in reading them again. Moreover, the version given by the Bai family is slightly different from the version given by his grandfather, so it can be regarded as checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
After a few days, Liu Guangqi finally waited for a weekend. On the first day of the holiday, Liu Guangqi got up early and rushed to Longtan Park non-stop. There was no need to rush. The family was about to run out of food. He I don’t want to eat corn mush anymore. Just eat it once in a while. Eating it every day will really kill you.
It took Liu Guangqi more than half an hour to finally run from Nanluogu Lane to Longtan Park in the south of the city. It was already the first month of the year, and although the temperature was still a little low, the ice in the park lake had melted.
It's better to come early than to come by chance. If the ice in the lake hadn't melted a few days earlier, it would have been in vain.
Longtan Park is neither big nor small. The lake area alone is only more than a thousand acres, haha.
The cold wind was blowing and the fallen leaves were falling. Looking at such a large lake, Liu Guangqi was dumbfounded. At this moment, he really wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought of the empty rice jars and flour bags at home, Liu Guangqi still gritted his teeth. Stayed.
It was naturally impossible for Liu Guangqi to search every place in such a large area. He would have to search every place in the year of the monkey, so he specially selected a few remote places where people were carrying people. Li Xiangxiu definitely couldn't throw the gun openly and openly. The more remote the place, the more likely it would be to carry it away from someone.
Based on this principle, Liu Guangqi came to a water area surrounded by rockeries, took out a can bottle tied with a rope from the space, stuffed some grains into it, and threw it into the water.
You definitely can't fish out a can and bottle. This is just a cover. What really fishes out is the strong magnetic fishing device he tied to the bottle. He saw this thing on the Internet that someone was using to suck things in the river. , I bought it on a whim, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.
For two days in a row, Liu Guangqi spent time in Longtan Park and fished almost all the remote places in the park, but he got nothing, not even a nail.
"Damn it, if I can't fish it out again this time, I won't fish it out anymore. I'll freeze to death."
Liu Guangqi threw the things into the water again and cursed in his mouth. In the past two days, Liu Guangqi's hands almost froze for these guns. Although the ice in the lake has melted this season, the temperature still remains at a few degrees. Around 100 meters away, the water temperature was even freezing.
"Captain, have you seen that child?"
Just when Liu Guangqi was about to stop after finishing his job, someone noticed him. A young People's Liberation Army comrade stared at Liu Guangqi's position and gently touched the shoulder of the old comrade next to him.
"What's wrong? Isn't it just a child fishing? Is there something wrong?"
After hearing the report of the Youth People's Liberation Army, the old comrade glanced at Liu Guangqi and said.
"No, I've been paying attention to this little guy for a long time. He doesn't look like he's fishing. Instead, he seems to be fishing for something. How can he fish like this? He just throws the bottle into the water and pulls it out. Don’t wait, and besides, this season is not the time to fish.”
The Young People's Liberation Army told his old comrades about his conjecture.
"Let's go over and have a look."
After hearing this, the old comrade felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Based on the principle of being cautious and making no big mistakes, the two of them walked towards Liu Guangqi.
But Liu Guangqi here did not realize that his abnormal behavior in the past two days had aroused the suspicion of the People's Liberation Army. At this time, he was slowly moving the magnet back.
"There is something"
Just when Liu Guangqi thought he had failed again this time, he suddenly felt that the rope in his hand became much heavier, and it was obvious that something had been sucked into it.
Liu Guangqi felt that the thing below must be what he wanted. When he thought that his miserable experience would be over soon, Liu Guangqi's hands moved much faster.
"Captain, you see what I said is right. Isn't it abnormal?"
The Young People's Liberation Army saw Liu Guangqi's silly smile and said. The old comrade said nothing, but his eyes became sharper. It was obvious that Liu Guangqi's abnormal behavior had aroused his wariness.
"Kid, what are you doing?"
"ah"
He was about to fish things out when someone suddenly slapped him from behind. Liu Guangqi was so frightened that he almost fell into the lake.
"Who is it? Hello, uncle from the People's Liberation Army."
Liu Guangqi had a bad temper and wanted to yell, but when he turned around and saw that the people coming were actually two People's Liberation Army soldiers wearing green military uniforms, he immediately stopped and asked with a smile on his face.
"Well, hello, kid, what are you doing?"
The old comrade asked as he stared closely at the jar that Liu Guangqi was about to release.
"I'm fishing here. I can't catch big fish. I can catch some small fish and let my mother bake them. They will be delicious."
"Really? Did you catch it?"
"I caught it, look"
Facing the People's Liberation Army's interrogation, Liu Guangqi was well prepared and slipped a net bag out of the water, which contained some small fish that Liu Guangqi caught today.
"I see you were very happy just now. Did you catch a big fish?"
As he spoke, the old comrade touched the rope in Liu Guangqi's hand. Liu Guangqi's hair suddenly stood up. He didn't dare to bet. If the things he caught were really those things, he wouldn't be able to explain it even if he was covered in tears.
In the flash of lightning, Liu Guangqi thought of a solution that was not a solution. His foot slipped and he fell into the water. The moment he entered the water, Liu Guangqi ignored the biting chill of the lake and quickly touched the magnet. Magnets and things were retracted into the space.
When the old comrade saw this, his expression immediately became serious, his eyes flashed sharply, he fished Liu Guangqi out with one hand, and quickly lifted the can out of the water with his other hand.
But looking at the empty cans, a trace of doubt flashed in the old comrade's eyes. It shouldn't be. From Liu Guangqi's clumsy behavior just now, he was sure that there must be something wrong with the water just now.
When the young man next to him saw this, he jumped into the lake without saying a word, and quickly searched in the water regardless of the coldness of the lake. Liu Guangqi was even more frightened when he saw this scene. Fortunately, he had space. If he hadn't had space, he would have fallen into trouble today. Comrades in this era are too vigilant.
But they were destined to achieve nothing. The young man who didn't find anything suspicious after searching for a long time shook his head at the old comrade with some disappointment.
"Is it on him?"
Seeing the young man shaking his head, the old comrade turned his attention to Liu Guangqi again, but Liu Guangqi didn't even have a pocket, so where could he put it.
"Kid, why are you so careless? Go, I'll take you to our resting place to dry your clothes. It's such a cold day and you'll freeze again."
The old comrade looked at Liu Guangqi who was all wet and said with concern.
"Um"
Liu Guangqi did not refuse, and he could not refuse. In this case, he could only follow the other party, otherwise he would freeze to death. And he knew that not only because of this, the other party must still doubt him.
When he arrived at the place where the other party was on duty, Liu Guangqi quickly took off his clothes and handed them to the other party, then sat down by the stove with a blanket on his back.
The old comrade also used the time of baking clothes to turn Liu Guangqi's clothes inside and out. Then he found out everything about Liu Guangqi's family situation. Then he whispered to the Young People's Liberation Army who had changed his clothes.
"It's really unlucky. You should be more careful when doing things in the future."
Looking at the Young People's Liberation Army hurriedly walking out, Liu Guangqi knew with his toes that he must have gone to the courtyard to inquire about his situation.
Sure enough, Mother Liu rushed over an hour later with a change of clothes. After the other party learned about Liu Guangqi's residence and family situation, he did not embarrass Liu Guangqi and sent Liu Guangqi away directly.
"The captain just let him go, there really was no need to ask."
The Young People's Liberation Army looked at Liu Guangqi's back and whispered in a low voice.
"What are you asking? There is no evidence. We just detained the person based on our conjecture. Have you thought about the consequences? His father is a worker and his mother is a farmer. It is a typical combination of workers and peasants. The roots are Miaohong. They are going to cause trouble. , how will it end?"
The old comrade also felt depressed. His experience as a scout for so many years told him that there must be something fishy about this kid, but there was no evidence.
"I'll go back to Laolao tomorrow. If it's really not there, forget it. That guy is pretty clean, so he's probably not a spy. He's probably just hiding some petty theft."
The old comrade thought for a while and then said.
"How about I go and stay with him for two days? What if he's a spy? You can't tell he's a spy from his face."
The young man said with some unwillingness to give up.
"If you want to go, just go. Don't alert others."
"Don't worry, Captain, if he is really a spy, he will definitely not be able to escape my eyes."
