Chapter 102 Zhang Fulin is acting strangely (2)
Meanwhile, on the dam, Feng Cheng and his group had already arrived at the water source.
The water source is quite a distance from the campsite, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to traverse.
Everyone carried the empty buckets with relatively light steps, but when they were filled with water and headed back, they became noticeably more tired.
Zhang Fulin carried the load on his shoulder pole, his steps unsteady, muttering to himself.
"This road is really difficult to travel. When will it ever end?"
Wei Fugui joked from the side.
"Old Zhang, stop complaining!"
Feng Cheng walked at the front of the group, glancing back at everyone from time to time.
"Everyone, let's work harder and try to get back as soon as possible to water the saplings. We can't let them go thirsty."
The group gritted their teeth and struggled forward.
Half an hour later, the group appeared at the nursery.
"Let's all work harder and try to carry five loads of water today."
Feng Cheng stood in front of the nursery, carrying a water bottle.
He spoke to everyone while watering the nursery.
"it is good!"
Everyone responded in agreement and went about their own business.
Suddenly, Xiao Liu's figure appeared not far from the nursery.
Xiao Liu still had the oilcloth Zhang Fulin used to wrap the gold ingots in his mouth.
Zhang Fulin felt a sudden "boom" as he watched Xiao Liu run towards him.
A tremendous sense of panic washed over him, spreading throughout his entire body.
Especially after seeing the piece of yellow oilcloth that Xiao Liu was holding in his mouth.
Zhang Fulin's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Ouch~"
Zhang Fulin suddenly let out a feigned cry of pain.
"Captain, Technician Feng, my stomach hurts a little!"
Zhao Tianshan frowned when he heard Zhang Fulin's shout.
Feng Cheng looked at the restless Xiao Liu at his feet, and at the oilcloth that Xiao Liu had given him.
Watching Zhang Fulin's retreating figure, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
After leaving the nursery, Zhang Fulin took off running towards the place where the gold ingots were buried.
When he finally arrived at the place where the gold ingots were buried, he was panting heavily.
I saw two pieces of gold ingots scattered on the ground.
The moment Zhang Fulin saw the gold ingots, many thoughts raced through his mind.
……
"Is Old Zhang's diarrhea that bad?"
"It's been so long, why aren't you back yet?"
Zhao Tianshan looked at the time and realized that almost an hour had passed.
Zhang Fulin was still nowhere to be seen.
"Technician Feng, Zhang Fulin hasn't returned yet, I'm a little worried!"
"I hope nothing bad happens to Zhang Fulin!"
Upon hearing Zhao Tianshan's words, Feng Cheng glanced at the sky.
He silently estimated the time in his mind before speaking.
"Alright, Lao Wei, you go back to camp with Da Yong and Xiao Huang first."
"The captain and I will go find Zhang Fulin!"
"I hope nothing really happens!"
This last sentence was said in Feng Cheng's heart, not aloud.
He knew very well that there were wolf packs on the dam.
If Zhang Fulin were to encounter a pack of wolves while alone, things would be very bad.
"Okay, technician!"
Wei Fugui responded to Feng Cheng's words.
After packing up his tools, Wei Fugui led Dayong and Xiaohuang toward the camp.
"Captain, let's go!"
Feng Cheng looked at the seedlings; they had only carried water once this morning.
I watered about one-fifth of the seedlings.
This is the result of all six of them working together.
Feng Cheng originally planned to make five trips today.
I'll try to water all these seedlings today.
However, due to Zhang Fulin's situation, this idea has to be abandoned.
"okay!"
Zhao Tianshan responded, picked up the gun on his back, and followed Feng Cheng into the distance.
"Zhang Fulin!"
"Lao Zhang~"
"Zhang Fulin~"
The two walked and shouted.
On the other side, Zhang Fulin hurriedly changed the direction of the gold ingot and buried it again.
Then he hurriedly headed towards the nursery.
They had only gone halfway when they saw Zhao Tianshan holding a gun.
Zhang Fulin was startled, fearing that things had been exposed.
He immediately decided to fight to the death; if he succeeded, he would escape today; if he failed, he would not be a coward.
With this in mind, Zhang Fulin steeled his resolve and decided to take action.
But seeing that Zhao Tianshan didn't seem to intend to fire, Zhang Fulin's eyes lit up.
They abandoned their plan to fight head-on.
He has absolutely no chance of winning if they fight head-on.
Let's not even talk about the dark muzzle of the gun Zhao Tianshan was holding.
Even though Zhao Tianshan is a retired veteran, I still can't beat him.
Moreover, Feng Cheng was by her side.
With two against one, I have even less chance of winning.
Just as Zhang Fulin was struggling internally, Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng also saw Zhang Fulin.
Zhao Tianshan picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it.
The two quickly ran up to Zhang Fulin. Zhao Tianshan looked at Zhang Fulin, who was covered in sweat, and asked him a question.
"what happened?"
Zhang Fulin glanced at Zhao Tianshan's dark gun barrel out of the corner of his eye.
Raise your hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Captain, I... I didn't shirk my work!"
Zhang Fulin began to speak with a slight stutter.
"Where did you go?"
Zhao Tianshan, looking fierce, stared at Zhang Fulin and loudly demanded another question.
"I...I just...have an upset stomach!"
"I...I'm lost!"
Zhang Fulin's mind raced, and he came up with an excuse for getting lost.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"I thought you'd been eaten by a bear."
Zhao Tianshan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He thought of the promises made by Qu He when he went up to the dam.
Then I remembered what I had told him before he went down to the dam in the summer.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Zhang Fulin.
If anything were to happen to Zhang Fulin on this dam...
Even the lightest punishment Zhao Tianshan can't escape.
It will also affect Xia Tian and Qu He.
"Captain, you brought this gun to save me, right?"
"thank you!"
Zhang Fulin understood the concern in Zhao Tianshan's words.
He stopped stuttering and slowly lowered his raised hands.
"It's dangerous here!"
"Don't run around like that again!"
Zhao Tianshan gave another stern instruction before walking aside to check the situation.
Feng Cheng also gave Zhang Fulin a deep look, but said nothing.
on the way back.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Soon, the three of them saw the outline of the camp.
Zhao Tianshan, holding a gun, walked at the front.
Feng Cheng and Zhang Fulin followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Feng Cheng stopped in his tracks.
He took a piece of oilcloth out of his pocket.
It was the same oilcloth that Zhang Fulin used to wrap the gold ingots.
"Is this yours?"
Feng Cheng handed the oilcloth to Zhang Fulin, who was standing next to him, and asked another question.
"No...no, this isn't mine, it's not mine!"
Seeing Feng Cheng's actions, Zhang Fulin quickly shook his head in denial.
If Xia Tian were here, he would immediately notice that something was wrong with Zhang Fulin.
Because Zhang Fulin's eyes darted around when he spoke.
And subconsciously, he said "It's not mine" twice.
This is a typical sign of lying.
Because they feel guilty, they subconsciously repeat what they said.
Subconsciously, I made myself believe that what I was saying was right.
However, the naive Feng Cheng didn't think that much about it.
"Okay, stop pretending!"
“My brother Xiao Liu wouldn’t yell at people for no reason.”
"What a fine oilcloth!"
"Take it!"
Feng Cheng pulled Zhang Fulin's hand and handed him the oilcloth.
"Stop running around!"
"I'm lost here!"
"People will die!"
Feng Cheng kindly gave Zhang Fulin some advice.
However, Zhang Fulin, feeling guilty, heard Feng Cheng's well-intentioned advice.
It has lost its original flavor.
Alarm bells rang in Zhang Fulin's mind, and murderous intent surged within him once more.
……
That night.
Zhang Fulin had a nightmare.
In his dream, he saw two pieces of gold ingots that Xiao Liu had dug up.
I also dreamed of Feng Cheng's slightly meaningful words.
"It leaked! It leaked!"
"It's all leaked!"
Zhang Fulin was talking in his sleep.
Fortunately, the three people sleeping nearby were in a deep sleep and did not hear Zhang Fulin's sleep-talking.
Zhang Fulin woke up from a nightmare.
"There's no way to escape now!"
Without further ado, Zhang Fulin got up.
After getting dressed, they opened the cellar door and headed towards Feng Cheng's cellar.
Zhang Fulin held the pickaxe in his hand, intending to kill Feng Cheng.
But before they even reached the dugout, they were left stranded.
Then Xiao Liu discovered it.
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up when he saw that it was Zhang Fulin.
She immediately pounced on him.
When Zhang Fulin saw Xiao Liu rushing over, he immediately took off running.
But how can two legs outrun four?
Xiao Liu quickly caught up with them.
Xiao Liu clung tightly to Zhang Fulin's trouser leg, refusing to let go.
The commotion outside quickly woke Zhao Tianshan.
Zhao Tianshan thought something had happened, so he quickly picked up his gun and rushed out.
"Don't move!"
When Zhang Fulin saw Zhao Tianshan come out with a gun, it was as if he had seen a savior.
"Oh no, Captain, help me!"
Zhao Tianshan realized it wasn't any danger, but rather that Xiao Liu had bitten Zhang Fulin's trouser leg.
For a moment, they were caught in a dilemma.
He silently put away the gun in his hand.
He always remembered that he could not point his gun at the people.
Hearing the commotion, Feng Cheng also came out of the dugout.
As soon as they came out, by the moonlight, they saw Xiao Liu biting Zhang Fulin's trouser leg.
"little six!"
Although I don't know why Xiao Liu always targets this person named Zhang Fulin.
But Feng Cheng didn't think much of it.
Upon hearing Feng Cheng's shout, Xiao Liu released his grip on Zhang Fulin's trouser leg.
After glancing at Zhang Fulin lying on the ground, he obediently ran back to Feng Cheng's feet.
"Zhang Fulin, what's going on?"
Seeing that Xiao Liu had returned to Feng Cheng's feet, Zhao Tianshan then asked Zhang Fulin a question.
"I just had an upset stomach in the middle of the night!"
"I was just getting up to use the bathroom, and this dog wouldn't leave me alone!"
When Xiao Liu heard Zhang Fulin blatantly lying, it barked twice more.
It seems to be expressing something.
"You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't speak!"
