A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

Gao Yuan held the warm oil paper package in his hand, his fingertips able to feel the powder particles inside, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.

He, a captain of a regular army unit, leading a squad of heavily armed soldiers, now has his biggest trump card: a packet of laxatives he received from a five-year-old child.

Who would believe that if I said that?

But looking into Nuan Nuan's clear and earnest eyes, Gao Yuan couldn't bring himself to say a single word of refusal.

He carefully tucked the oil paper package into his breast pocket, patted it, and then nodded solemnly to Nuannuan.

"Okay, Uncle will listen to you."

He turned and walked out of the courtyard, his voice loud.

"Attention, everyone! Destination: Xishan Coal Mine! Move out!"

……

Inside the workers' shed at Xishan Coal Mine.

Mine manager Zhang Fugui and Qian Laosan were drinking and eating meat around a charcoal brazier with several of their confidants.

There was pork head meat on the plate, dipped in soy sauce.

"Brother-in-law, everything's arranged." Qian Laosan's face was flushed from drinking. "The explosives are buried under the load-bearing pillars in the old tunnel. As long as the fuse is lit, there will be a deafening roar! Not even the Heavenly King himself could dig anything out of here, let alone that old bastard surnamed Liu."

Fugui picked up a piece of fatty meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Well done!" He slammed his hand on the table, took a big gulp of liquor, and said, "Once this is all settled and the mine reopens, won't we be the ones calling the shots?"

"By then, we'll have plenty of money."

"Hahaha!"

"My brother-in-law is really amazing!"

The group laughed heartily, and no one knew how much they had drunk.

What they didn't know was that through the cracks in the wooden planks, several small eyes were staring at them intently.

The little mouse, using the table leg as cover, quietly scurried onto the table.

One of them was responsible for keeping watch, while the others quickly shook the powder that covered their bodies into the wine jug and onto the pig's head meat.

After doing all this, they instantly disappeared into the darkness; the whole process took no more than three seconds.

We were full and satisfied.

Zhang Fugui wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Stop drinking! Let's get down to business!"

Qian Laosan shakily picked up a fuse, a smile of excitement on his face.

"Let's go! Send this damn mine to its final resting place!"

A group of seven or eight people, taking advantage of the darkness, stealthily carried their tools and made their way towards the sealed-off mine area.

The night was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

A cold wind, mixed with raindrops, blew against my face; it was very cold.

But these people were very excited and didn't feel the cold at all.

Soon, all the evidence will be destroyed forever in an explosion!

Qian Laosan walked at the front, secretly calculating how much money he would get after the deal was done.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from my stomach.

He paused, his brow furrowing. "Damn it, did I eat too much pig's head meat tonight?"

He didn't take it seriously and continued walking.

But after taking only a couple of steps, the sound started again, and it became more and more urgent.

With a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, Qian Laosan cried out in pain, feeling his legs go weak and almost collapsing to his knees.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his face turned pale.

"What's wrong, third brother?"

Zhang Fugui urged impatiently.

Qian Laosan clutched his stomach, his voice trembling, "I can't take it anymore, brother-in-law, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the outhouse."

No sooner had he said that than the person following behind him suddenly shouted.

"I can't do it anymore!"

"And me!"

What's wrong with my stomach?

The men with the heart symbols were all clutching their stomachs and yelling. The burly men who had just been fierce and menacing were now hunched over with their legs clamped together, their faces extremely ugly.

Zhang Fugui also sensed something was wrong; his stomach was also aching slightly.

"Damn it, there's definitely something wrong with the chives tonight."

Zhang Fugui finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

No sooner had he said that than he let out a loud, smelly fart.

He wanted to run, but his legs were too weak to stand, and the excruciating pain in his stomach made it impossible for him to even straighten his back.

Just as this group of people were in complete chaos, searching for holes everywhere.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

From all directions, more than a dozen blinding beams of light instantly lit up, locking them firmly in place!

"Don't move! We are the XX Army!"

A distant voice rang in their ears.

The soldiers who had been lying in ambush all around rushed forward!

Originally, this was going to be a tough battle.

The other side has a large number of people, and they also have explosives. They are extremely vicious. If a fight breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties.

But the scene before them almost made the soldiers at the forefront lose their composure.

The thugs who had been so arrogant just moments before were now staggering, clutching their stomachs, their faces pale, and their legs trembling.

Let alone resist, even standing still is difficult.

Qian Laosan was in an even worse state. He had just found a pit to squat down in, and his pants were half off when two soldiers pulled him out of the pit from either side.

That scene was truly... an eyesore.

The soldiers suppressed their laughter and effortlessly pinned the group of spineless cowards to the ground, tying them up tightly.

Zhang Fugui was kicked in the back of the knee by Gao Yuan and fell to his knees in the mud with a thud.

He wanted to say something harsh, but the churning inside his stomach was much tougher than his words. As soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited.

Gao Yuan took two steps back in disgust and poked the back of his head with the barrel of his gun.

"Manager Zhang, why are you running? Why have you stopped?"

The perpetrator was caught red-handed!

The black ledger, coupled with this group of criminals preparing to destroy the evidence, makes the evidence irrefutable!

The inside story of Xishan Coal Mine has been revealed.

When the news reached the village, the entire Gu family was overjoyed.

When Engineer Liu, accompanied by two assistants and carrying account books, solemnly thanked Hou Jianguo and Su Xiulan, the couple were still somewhat dazed.

"This time, we owe it all to your family! Especially..."

Engineer Liu's gaze fell on Gu Da'an, who was sitting quietly in the corner, fiddling with a broken gear.

He walked over, squatted down, and said solemnly.

"Comrade Da'an, your talent should not be buried in a small mountain village."

"I'm formally inviting you to come with me to the provincial capital's mechanical research institute to continue your studies, okay?"

Gu Jianguo and Su Xiulan were both stunned when they heard this.

provincial capital?

graduate School?

Da'an from their family, the son everyone in the village called a fool, has now been invited to work at a research institute?

……

Afterwards, Zhang Fugui and Qian Laosan's gang, along with the people behind them, were all arrested.

The mine accident was classified as a man-made disaster, and the families of all the deceased and injured workers received compensation and pensions from the state.

The miners breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate to have survived.

The next morning, the gate to the Gu family's courtyard was almost trampled apart.

Some brought eggs, some carried flour, and others brought vegetables they had grown themselves. The villagers expressed their gratitude in this way.

"Xiulan! From now on, your family will be the benefactors of our entire village!"

"Where's Nuannuan? Where's our little darling? Let Auntie hold her!"

Su Xiulan was a little dizzy from the scene, but she kept smiling.

She squeezed through the crowd, carrying a bowl of sweetened steamed egg custard, and went into the house.

"Nuan Nuan, come here quickly, Mom has steamed your favorite sponge cake for you."

The room was quiet.

On the kang (a heated brick bed), there was only a neatly folded small quilt.

"Warm and cozy?"

Su Xiulan's heart skipped a beat. She put down her bowl and searched the house inside and out.

"Da'an, Xiao'an! Have you seen your little sister?"

"He was just playing with Xiao Hei in the yard!" Gu Xiaoan ran in from outside.

Su Xiulan's face turned pale instantly.

She ran to the doorway and, facing the still-talking crowd, let out a distorted scream.

"Warm and cozy! My Warm and Cozy is gone—!"
