Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 597 Going south together

After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually improved, and the snow on the ground had long since melted away.

It was a sunny day because it was rare to see the sun, so Gao Mingcheng decided to take Xiao Xuxu to the park.

Children are like this, they like the vast world. Before, the weather was bad, so they could only stay at home and couldn't go anywhere. Now Gao Mingcheng took him out to play, and he instantly grinned with joy.

When I arrived at the People's Park, I found that there was nothing to do in the People's Park at the moment. Except for the evergreen plants that remained green all year round, the rest of the deciduous trees were still bare, and even the grass was glowing with withered yellow.

However, due to the rainy and snowy weather recently, the water in the lake was a little full, and there were small fish swimming in the water, which was quite interesting to watch.

A group of older children gathered near the few play facilities in the park, enjoying themselves playing on the slides and swings.

Xiao Xuxu also wanted to play on the swing, but unfortunately the others were too young to grab it and couldn't play, so they could only sit aside and worry.

Children aged seven or eight are at their naughty age, but they don’t know how to be humble to their little brother, so no one pays attention to him.

Xiao Xuxu could only turn his attention to the slide. He stood holding the slide with his face full of wanting to play.

Unfortunately, there were few amusement facilities in the park and there were many people. Even Gao Mingcheng couldn't drive all the children away, so he could only let Xiao Xuxu watch helplessly.

The farce ended quickly, and the onlookers dispersed. Gao Mingcheng took the opportunity to educate Xiao Xuxu: "Did you see? Playing by the water is very dangerous!"

Although the sun is shining today and the sun is shining on your body, it makes you feel warm, but after all, it is winter and the water is still cold.

But in fact, what greeted the child was not ginger brown sugar water, but a slap!

It's said to be a lake, but it's quite small. It's just named after a lake.

Gao Mingcheng looked around and saw a female corpse slowly emerging from the water!

What the hell!

When the onlookers saw this, they all smiled kindly and said, "It's time to give him a beating! Forget it if he fell into the water in the summer, it's so cold in the winter!"

When he took a few steps back quickly while holding the child, he heard someone saying hurriedly: "Someone is dead, call the police!"

After sliding down the high slide, Xiao Xuxu didn't feel scared, but was extremely excited. As soon as he landed, he started to walk towards the steps. Maybe he was thinking about playing, and he walked for one or two meters in a row. He didn't fall down, and when he got to the stairs, he climbed up using both hands and feet.

A group of people gathered around and watched, telling the child to quickly go back to take a bath and change clothes, and then drink a bowl of hot ginger-brown sugar water to ward off the cold.

He was beaten and scolded, but soon he picked up the child again and hurried away.

However, while there were few people around, Gao Mingcheng quickly picked up Xiao Xuxu and let him slide down.

The one who beat the person was the young man who jumped into the water to save him. After the beating, he started to curse loudly: "I told you not to go to the water, but you insist on going! The next time you fall into the water, let me You're ready to drown!"

After Gao Mingcheng heard these sounds, he was curious, so he grabbed Xiao Xuxu's clothes, swung it in the air, and threw it on his shoulders to sit down. This move was clean and neat, and it also revealed the beauty of strength. It not only attracted To Xiao Xuxu's cheers, even the children next to him cast envious glances.

There was a snap, and the beating was not light.

Unfortunately, little Xuxu, who was just over one year old, didn't understand anything. He was still grinning and looking around curiously.

Suddenly, there was another scream, and then the crowd that had not dispersed became commotion.

Gao Mingcheng was guarding Xiao Xuxu from other children.

"Let's go and see what's going on." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile and walked towards the artificial lake in the park.

After playing for a while, I suddenly heard a noisy sound. When I listened carefully, it seemed that someone had fallen into the water.

Gao Mingcheng subconsciously covered Xiao Xuxu's eyes to prevent him from seeing the horrific scene.

When he passed by, someone had already acted bravely and fished out a soaked child from the water.

Soon, some fast-footed young people ran towards the police station, and the crowd that had dispersed before gathered around again.

Sure enough, Chinese people just love to watch the fun!

In fact, Gao Mingcheng also likes to watch the excitement. In his previous life, if he had nothing to do, he could stare at the working excavator for a long time.

It's a pity that he came with his children this time. People say that children have bright eyes and can easily see dirty things, so they cannot be allowed to see dead people.

So Gao Mingcheng hurriedly took Xiao Xuxu back to the clothing store. On the way, he bumped into the police officers who hurried over to handle the case, including Lou Xinyu.

When Lou Xinyu saw Gao Mingcheng, he nodded and greeted him, but without saying a word, he walked quickly towards the lake in the park.

Gao Mingcheng did not interfere with their handling of the case. Professional matters were left to professionals. If he was curious, he could just ask Gao Guobing in two days.

But what Gao Mingcheng didn't expect was that the rumors spread quickly in the county.

At first, when a child accidentally fell into the water, everyone didn't think much about it and just thought it was a naughty child. But after discovering a floating corpse in the water, the conversation changed and he became a water ghost!

Although it sounds scary, it also scares the naughty children away from approaching the water without permission. From a side perspective, this is also a good thing.

When rumors were swirling, Deng Wanwan found Gao Mingcheng again.

Her mother-in-law has gone to the provincial capital for surgery and is now back home. She has only been injured for a hundred days and has not recovered yet.

Deng Wanwan came here this time to still postpone her trip to the capital, but the reason was changed.

Deng Wanwan said helplessly: "The child who fell into the water is my stepson. Yesterday he followed his cousin to play in the park. He didn't expect that he would accidentally fall into the water. He had caught a cold, so he took a shower quickly. A hot bath and a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water would be fine, but he didn’t know who told him about the female corpse in the lake. He also said that he fell into the water and was seduced by a female ghost who wanted him to be a scapegoat. Now, he was so frightened that he developed a high fever that night.”

"He is still lying in the hospital, and I'm afraid he won't recover in three to five days!"

Deng Wanwan was really helpless. After her mother-in-law came back from the provincial hospital, she and Wang Xun agreed to go to the capital after the Lantern Festival, but they were ready to buy tickets, and this happened again!

Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised. When he passed by that day, someone had already jumped into the water to save others, and then left in a hurry. Therefore, he did not recognize that the person who fell into the water was Wang Xun's son.

Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "He has a mental illness caused by fright. You should tell him carefully and tell him not to be afraid. He will be cured when the fever goes away."

Deng Wanwan nodded. She knew it was because of fright. It was just an accident at home that delayed the departure date, so she came here specifically to talk to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and simply said: "In this case, I will go to Yangcheng to purchase goods. When I come back, if the child is well, then we will set a date to go to the capital."

The high-end goods in the store have almost been sold out. Seeing that spring is about to begin, fashion-loving little girls are starting to buy spring clothes. It is time for him to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods.

Deng Wanwan did not dare to object and quickly agreed.

Because something happened at home, she left in a hurry. As soon as she left, Gao Mingcheng called Xiao Jinfeng and told him that he was going to Yangcheng tomorrow and asked Xiao Jinfeng to arrange a car for him.

When Xiao Jinfeng heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I am planning to go to Yangcheng tomorrow! But I am not going to Yangcheng, but to the Special Economic Zone."

Hearing that Xiao Jinfeng was going to the Special Administrative Region, Gao Mingcheng naturally felt strange, so he asked.

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said: "I have a lot of money in my hand and plan to buy a piece of land in the Special Economic Zone! Fan Chengyao mentioned to me several times that the price of land in the Special Economic Zone increases every year, so I should buy it as soon as possible."

Gao Mingcheng was stunned. Fan Chengyao had never mentioned this to him!

Regarding the matter of buying land, when Fan Chengyao mentioned it to him, he still wanted to buy land in Huizhou, and Huizhou's marketing strategy was to use the banner of a small special zone.

Hearing Gao Mingcheng's doubts, Xiao Jinfeng explained: "Fan Chengyao said that you plan to go to the capital to see a house and then buy a building in the capital. In this case, after buying the building, you will definitely not have much money in your hands, so you I didn’t tell you!”

Gao Mingcheng did the math and found that after buying the building, he still had money in his hands, but it was just the land in the special zone... I didn't know if he could afford it.

Money will be scarce when it is used, so he must work hard to make money!

"Okay, let's go to Yangcheng together tomorrow. It'll be good to have a companion on the way." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xiao Jinfeng was also happy. After deciding on the matter, the two hung up the phone.

Xiao Jinfeng originally planned to go to Yangcheng with another driver. After arriving in Yangcheng, he took a bus to the Special Economic Zone, and the driver was responsible for taking the freight from Yangcheng back to the county. After he had finished the special economic zone, he took the next truck. Return to the county.

Because he will stay in the Special Administrative Region for a while.

Gao Mingcheng put the microphone back with some emotion in his heart.

The Special Economic Zone was just an inconspicuous fishing village at first, but now the price of land has increased every year! And now, people who buy land and develop real estate can eventually make a lot of money!

"Duomei, I have to go to Yangcheng tomorrow to buy goods. I will use all the cash at home to pay for goods. If you need money, just take your passbook to the bank and withdraw some." Gao Mingcheng found many beautiful places to take care of his children. , said softly.

But Duo Mei smiled and said, "Where do I need money? Besides, there is a lot of cash coming in from the store every day!"

Gao Mingcheng also laughed and said, "That's what I said!"

Early the next morning, he sent Duo Mei and Xiao Xuxu to the clothing store, and then walked to the transportation company.

Xiao Jinfeng had already had breakfast and was waiting for Gao Mingcheng. After meeting, he asked Gao Mingcheng if he had eaten, and said that there was still porridge and meat buns in the kitchen.

Gao Mingcheng naturally ate it and said: "I ate a bowl of mixed noodles, two braised eggs, and a bowl of meatloaf soup!"

The two chatted for a while and got in the car one after another. Since they both knew how to drive, they could alternate. Xiao Jinfeng would drive for two hours first, and then Gao Mingcheng would drive.

In the past, when Gao Mingcheng was driving a sports car, he would drive the entire journey by himself. Now he felt a lot more relaxed, and with a companion, the time seemed to pass much faster along the way.

But it was also while chatting with Xiao Jinfeng that Gao Mingcheng discovered that someone else had been interested in his little sister!

Xiao Jinfeng said: "That little girl Song Jinzhang is quite thoughtful. She came to me to inquire about my little sister and said that her cousin has taken a liking to your little sister."

"Haha, but Jiahui told me a long time ago that Song Jinzhang's aunt wanted to find a formal factory worker for her son!"

"By the way, I heard that the Gao Bureau introduced someone to your little sister. How are you getting along with him?"

Who says men don’t gossip? When they are bored, they can talk about any topic!

Mentioning his younger sister Gao Shufang, Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I haven't decided yet. Let's get in touch first."

"That's right, you don't need to be in a hurry." Xiao Jinfeng nodded in agreement. He traveled all over the world, so he was naturally not like those conservative people who thought that girls should get married as soon as possible and that they would settle down after just a few meetings.

As we talked, we talked about the case of floating corpses in park lakes.

Because of the water ghost's seduction, the topic of catching the scapegoat was very hot. In a short period of time, it spread throughout the entire county.

This also puts a lot of pressure on the police station, who are urging them to solve the case as soon as possible and catch the murderer.

Gao Mingcheng said: "The person responsible for investigating this case is the person introduced by Uncle Guobing. We can use this case to see what he is capable of."

Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said: "Then when you come back from Yangcheng to purchase goods, you may be able to catch the murderer."

"Hopefully!" Gao Mingcheng said, but he was not very confident in the success rate of detection. After all, in an era without surveillance, there were many unsolved cases.

The two chatted while changing cars, and successfully arrived in Yangcheng the next day.

Xiao Jinfeng breathed a visible sigh of relief, because this time he planned to go to the Special Administrative Region to buy land, and he was carrying a large amount of cash with him.

After entering Yangcheng, Xiao Jinfeng drove the truck, and finally the truck stopped at the entrance of a factory.

The car contained a large car of wool, which was all high-quality wool produced in the northern pastoral areas. After being transported to the factory here, it could go through a series of processing and then be turned into expensive woolen fabrics.

While unloading the goods, Xiao Jinfeng borrowed the factory's phone, called Fan Chengyao, and made an appointment to meet for dinner.

After unloading the goods, the two got into the truck and went straight to the appointed hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised when he saw the sign. It turned out to be a Hunan restaurant.

The decoration of the hotel is quite good. There are many exquisite porcelains displayed in the lobby on the first floor, which looks very grand.

After the two reported their identities, the waiter led them into a box and sat down.

Not long after, tea and snacks were served.

After the waiter left, Xiao Jinfeng said: "This is a restaurant jointly opened by Fan Chengyao and others. What do you think?"

Gao Mingcheng looked around and saw that the decoration of the box was also very elegant, so he nodded and said, "Why did he think of opening a Hunan restaurant in Yangcheng?"

People in Yangcheng do not like spicy food. Most of the local food is light and the presentation is also very particular.

Xiao Jinfeng laughed and said: "He originally wanted to open a Gan cuisine restaurant, but his partner said that Gan cuisine is not as famous as Hunan cuisine, so he opened this Hunan cuisine restaurant, but there are a few dishes that are still the same as our Gan cuisine."

These words made Gao Mingcheng laugh a little. Is this a trick?

However, Gan cuisine did not make it into the eight major cuisines. In terms of reputation, it is indeed not as good as Hunan cuisine, but in terms of taste, the two still have certain similarities. For example, they both eat spicy food!
