1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 82: Door-to-Door Inquiry
"What did you say?"

Gu Qingwu got up early in the morning and before she had time to cook, there was a knock on her door. She opened the door and saw two little soldiers standing there. After hearing what the two little soldiers said, she looked surprised.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know when your cousin left the guesthouse. She packed up all her things and took them away."

The young soldier said helplessly that they had originally planned to buy a ticket for Gu Qingyan today, and they also wanted to send Gu Qingyan to the station. Who could have thought that Gu Qingyan disappeared? Even the people in the guesthouse didn't know when she disappeared, and all her things were gone.

"I see."

Gu Qingwu nodded to show that she understood.

"Sister-in-law, this is the money you gave us yesterday."

The young soldier took the money out of his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingwu. Gu Qingwu took the money and put it in his own pocket.

"Sister-in-law, I guess the comrades from the guesthouse will come to you soon to find out the situation."

Before the young soldier left, he hesitated for a moment and reminded Lin Qian. Lin Qian nodded, indicating that she understood. Isn't it just looking for her? What's the big deal? Anyway, no one knows what she did. As long as she can keep calm, no one will find evidence that she took Gu Qingyan away.

When the young soldier saw Gu Qingwu's expression, he immediately understood what Gu Qingwu meant, so the two of them turned around and left.

Gu Qingwu went back to her room to wash up and cook. No matter what the people at the guesthouse asked, she could just say it directly, except for the things that she couldn't say. She thought she had nothing to hide.

Sure enough, after a while, people came from the guesthouse and the army. There was nothing they could do. A girl with disabled legs disappeared from the guesthouse, so how could the army just ignore it? Gu Qingwu also knew that the army might come, so after seeing the people coming, she just greeted everyone calmly.

The comrades at the guesthouse were the first to ask Gu Qingwu about Gu Qingyan, and Gu Qingwu told her about what happened between the two of them.

"Comrade, the relationship between her and I is clear. She doesn't dare to go home. If she goes home, she will be sold. It is also possible that she will run away. Of course, this is just my guess."

As soon as Gu Qingwu said this, the comrades in the army looked at her with a hint of scrutiny.

But who is Gu Qingwu? She would feel guilty.

"I just mentioned this possibility, but the details are up to you to investigate."

Gu Qingwu looked at the soldiers and said, she was just saying it, would they still look at her with suspicion?
"Comrade, were you at home last night?"

The comrades in the army looked at Gu Qingwu and asked. Gu Qingwu smiled when he heard this.

"I was at home yesterday. When our troops go out, they have to go through the main gate. As for the back mountain, we also have to go through a gate before we can leave. You can ask the people in the family compound or the guards."

Gu Qingwu said in a deep voice. The soldiers saw that Gu Qingwu did not have any guilty look in her eyes. When she looked at them, there was no evasion or resistance in her eyes. They felt that Gu Qingwu should not have lied. They did not believe that a woman would not have any expression change after doing something bad. Of course, those who had received special training did not count, but Gu Qingwu should not have received any special training. After all, Gu Qingwu's family background had been investigated by the army.

"Comrade, we have records of what you said. If what you said doesn't match the evidence we found, we will come back to you again."

The comrades in the army looked at Gu Qingwu and said, Gu Qingwu nodded readily. "Okay."

Anyway, she left the house in the middle of the night, and when she went out, she put an invisibility charm on herself so that no one could notice her going out, and she didn't go through the main door.

It is estimated that the final result of the army's investigation will be that Gu Qingyan left on her own. Now that the result is not out, she will not be careless.

"Then, Comrade Gu, we'll leave first. Don't go out during this period. I might come to look for you."

The comrade in the army looked at Gu Qingwu and said, Gu Qingwu nodded, just go ahead and look for it, she didn't like going out anyway, unless it was to buy things, thinking of buying things, Gu Qingwu felt that she needed to buy some food and daily necessities.

Although the family is not short of these things, it is obvious that they are short of them. She wants to go around the village and buy a few chickens. Now that the weather is cold, she should buy more meat and other things so that they can be stored.

She didn't know whether the army would organize the stockpiling of autumn vegetables. If so, she would buy more and she planned to pickle some spicy cabbage.

After the troops left Gu Qingwu's home, they went to the family compound to inquire about what happened after Gu Qingyan arrived and her whereabouts. Although Gu Qingwu's suspicion has been ruled out for now, they still need to conduct a serious investigation.

As soon as Chen Hongxia sent away the troops, she went to find Gu Qingwu.

"Your sister ran away?"

Chen Hongxia felt that the girl must have run away on her own, otherwise, she would not have packed her things so neatly. Although there were not many things, none of Gu Qingyan's things were left behind. If she hadn't packed up her things and ran away on her own, who could have packed her things so neatly?

"I don't know either. People have come from the army and the guesthouse."

Gu Qingwu shrugged and said, anyway, they are now in the deep mountains and forests in the south, don't tell her that it is too cruel to use such means to deal with a fifteen-year-old girl. When the fifteen-year-old girl wanted to sell the original owner, why did no one say anything? Gu Qingwu’s main point is to take revenge on the spot.

She broke Gu Qingyan's legs in the first place so that she would stay at home and not appear in front of her. In this way, she wouldn't have to care about what would happen to Gu Qingyan in the future. But Gu Qingyan came to her and planned to stay with her. Would she give Gu Qingyan the chance to make trouble for her?
It is better to deal with her directly and cleanly than anything else.

"She's just a little girl with injured legs, I hope nothing happens to her."

When Chen Hongxia heard what Gu Qingwu said, she sighed. Gu Qingwu lowered her eyes and said nothing. What could she say at this time? Whatever she said would be wrong. It would be better to say nothing.

Seeing that Gu Qingwu didn't say anything, Chen Hongxia shook her head.

"By the way, the troops will organize a stockpile of autumn vegetables in a while. What will you prepare then?"

Chen Hongxia directly changed the subject. Gu Qingwu and Gu Qingyan didn't get along well. It would be wrong for her to talk to Gu Qingwu about Gu Qingyan at this time. It would be better to change the subject.

"I plan to buy more cabbage. I need cabbage for pickled cabbage, and I also need cabbage and radish for kimchi."

Gu Qingwu’s main point is that you can’t eat much, but you have to eat some. Isn’t the purpose of life to eat and drink? If you can’t even guarantee eating and drinking, then what’s the point of living?
