Chapter 182 Returning to the Fishing Village

Another six months passed, and finally good news came from the north. Life became less difficult, and He Caiwei was finally able to settle down and live her life.

He Caiwei still had a lot of food prepared in her space. The whole country was facing a severe food shortage, so it was good to have extra food in case of emergencies.

One day after get off work, when it was the weekend and she didn't have to work, He Caiwei suddenly had a whimsical idea to visit Zheng Mingyue's village.

She knew Zheng Mingyue and the others definitely wouldn't come, but she still wanted to go and see what the situation was like over there.

In recent years, perhaps due to the famine, this area has not been well managed, and she doesn't know how many people are still here. For some reason, she suddenly remembered it and wanted to go and see.

Because she had to go out, she didn't go to the district committee office building today. After returning, she told her mother that she was going out and then left in a hurry.

The only thing at home is a bicycle, so it's impossible for her to ride it for more than an hour. She plans to find a secluded place, get a car, and drive it, which is faster.

Soon she arrived at a small hill not far from Zheng Mingyue's village. After looking around and finding no one, she put away her car and headed towards the small hill behind the village.

This is the closest point to the strait. From here, you can see very far and clearly what's happening below the strait, which is why she chose this spot.

As soon as He Caiwei arrived, she saw that the area below was densely packed with people, especially those hiding in the grove. There were at least two or three hundred, if not four or five hundred.

He Caiwei was still thinking that the situation in the north had already eased up, so why were there still so many people wanting to go there? Such a small area that had become less crowded could accommodate so many people; there must have been at least 70,000 to 80,000 people over the years.

Many more people died, but why didn't these people see it?

After observing the situation, He Caiwei squatted there for a while, just as she was about to go back, when she sensed an unfamiliar presence in a certain place in the woods.

Sensing a familiar yet strange aura, she quickly found a secluded spot and returned to her spatial dimension, where she observed the outside world.

Two people were dragging a man, whose face was unrecognizable and who was covered in blood, towards this side.

How could this situation seem familiar? It was in this very place when she saved her father. Could it be that the same situation is repeating itself?

Who is this unrecognizable person? He felt a sense of familiarity about this person.

He Caiwei decisively took out the tranquilizer gun from her spatial storage and shot each of the two people dragging the person.

The tranquilizer gun produced by Space has an extremely fast tranquilizing speed. In less than 10 seconds, the two people were already lying on the ground, and the person they were dragging also collapsed and could not get up.

After they collapsed, He Caiwei waited another minute before coming out of the space. She looked at the two people on the ground, then at the person whose face was completely disfigured. She took a wet wipe and carefully wiped the person's face. Although the face was completely disfigured, she recognized the familiar features and knew that it was her second brother.

He Caiwei quickly fed her second brother some well water from the space and checked his injuries. Her father's injuries back then were much more severe, and he was barely clinging to life.

Her second brother had broken bones in both hands, five broken ribs, two large chunks of flesh ripped from his shoulders, and several triangular marks branded on his face. It could be said that apart from his facial features, there was practically no good flesh anywhere else on his body.

He Caiwei put her second brother back into the space hospital. Two years ago, her space was upgraded. She didn't know what conditions caused the upgrade. A hospital was added inside, with a complete set of testing equipment and treatment pods. All of these required gold to complete.

A physical examination only requires about one or two ounces of gold. If there is an illness that requires treatment, the amount of gold needed will be determined according to the severity of the illness.

He Caiwei put her second brother on the testing platform, and the injury report came out quickly: a Class A serious injury, requiring 15 kilograms of gold.

He Caiwei was not stingy at all. She put her second brother into the treatment pod and then went to the warehouse to take 15 kilograms of gold, which she placed on a platform on the left side of the treatment pod.

The moment the gold was placed in, the door of the treatment chamber closed automatically, displaying a message that it would take 100 hours to complete the treatment.

During these 100 hours, she had to go back first and make a phone call to ask her uncle what was going on.

The current transportation is just too inconvenient. If there were airplanes, she could get to Kyoto in just a few hours, instead of having to take that old green train for several days.

Once she emerged from the space, she remembered that she still needed to deal with the two people in front of her. He Caiwei first injected the two with 60 hours of anesthetic, then tied them up tightly, blindfolded them, and threw them into a corner of the space. Then she ran all the way down the mountain and drove back home.

When she got home, she found that her brother and father hadn't returned yet, which made it convenient for her to go to the office building to make a phone call.

"Mom, I've taken the bicycle. I'm going to my brother's office to make a phone call. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."

"Daughter, why is this girl rushing around like this today..." The old man looked at his granddaughter with a puzzled expression.

"Never mind her, that girl is always like this. She must have something urgent to do today to be in such a hurry. Dad, would you like some water? If your feet are sore, you can rest in the yard." He Yuping waved her hand. This naughty girl of hers always manages to attract the attention of the whole family, making even her, as her mother, jealous.

…………

He Caiwei was a celebrity in this district's office building, so no one stopped her or asked her to register when she came in. She just walked straight in and jumped to the top floor in one go.

"Brother, are you inside...?"

"Yes, come in..." Lu Qingfeng heard his wife's voice and quickly hung up the phone.

The call was from his father. His younger brother had been missing for five days, and there had been absolutely no news of him. His comrades who were on the mission with him had also been unable to find him.

"Weiwei, why are you here at this hour? Didn't you get off work? Why didn't you go home? There's still some work to finish. Why don't you go home first..." Lu Qingfeng has been very busy these past few days, so he hasn't been home on time. This girl knows he's been quite busy these days, so why is she here at this hour?

"Brother, let me call Uncle. Please call Uncle for me first..." He Caiwei was really anxious. Her second brother's situation didn't seem like he had only been missing for a day or two.

Lu Qingfeng didn't know what the little girl wanted to say to her father, but he still picked up the phone and called his father who was in the military region.

"What's wrong? Didn't we just hang up the phone?" Lu Zhining had just spoken to her son on the phone and didn't know why he was calling now.
