Chapter 42 Where's My Gun?
Chapter 42 Where's My Gun?
Lu Yao added, "When I went to your house that day and saw my godmother, I suddenly remembered that I had seen her in my dream and that there was a car accident."
However, the dream was not very clear, so it cannot be specified to the exact day or time.
Otherwise, I would have done everything in my power to prevent the tragedy from happening. I wouldn't have let my godmother's colleague die.
But if I said I dreamt about it that day, you definitely wouldn't believe me. I can only say that I can read faces.
Actually, I know that even if I were to talk about fortune telling, you might not believe me.
But thank you anyway, Sister Ju Wen, for believing in me!
After Lu Yao finished speaking...
Ju Zhenghua and his daughter Ju Wen looked at each other in bewilderment.
If you don't believe it, the facts are right in front of you.
letter?
Can this young man, barely twenty, predict the future?
However, in the 1970s, technology was underdeveloped and people's understanding was limited.
Moreover, many folk tales were indeed popular at that time.
Even in the 1980s, people still deeply believed in the qigong masters who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
In reality, they were all later proven to be just charlatans.
Therefore, even if what Lu Yao said was somewhat outrageous.
Ju Zhenghua ultimately chose to believe.
"Xiao Lu, what else did you dream about? Was it anything about me?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Not for now, but if something big happens, I think I'll dream about it."
Ju Wen asked, "So, what other dreams haven't you told us about?"
Lu Yao glanced outside the door and said to Ju Zhenghua:
"Godfather, actually I had a really outrageous dream. But I can't just say that, or I'll be finished if people accuse me of spreading rumors and creating panic! After all, dreams don't have any real evidence."
Ju Zhenghua had been completely piqued by Lu Yao.
He shook his head and said, "Behind closed doors, we're family. You're my godson, and Ju Wen is your sister. Would I sue you or try to frame you?"
Lu Yao wanted to hear those words.
Then he said, "Today is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which is also the 30th of the Gregorian calendar."
So I had a dream before that Jiangzhou would definitely launch an operation to wipe out the remaining bandits before New Year's Eve.
The newly appointed police chief led and commanded the operation, and the armed forces department needed to organize militia members to cooperate.
The new police chief was a woman in her thirties, with short hair, and her surname was Mei!
After all, it was a dream, and it wasn't entirely clear.
However, based on the accuracy of my past dreams, I feel it can't be wrong.
Hearing this, Ju Zhenghua laughed out loud:
"Little Lu, your dream is probably unbelievable. I'm an old friend of the current bureau chief, Lao Fang."
We were chatting together yesterday. He said the Revolutionary Committee had informed them that they would conduct a joint investigation with the Industry and Commerce Department after the New Year.
The main targets of the crackdown are crimes involving speculation, profiteering, and trafficking of goods.
He's still planning security arrangements for the Lunar New Year period, how could he possibly replace the bureau chief before the new year?
You spoke so confidently, and you even said you were a woman in your thirties. I had no idea there was such a woman named Mei.
Ju Wen, fearing that Lu Yao would feel embarrassed, quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Oh, Dad, everyone said it was a dream, why are you taking it so seriously? I even dreamt I was the county magistrate last night, are you taking that seriously too?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but look at Ju Wen.
I was relieved to know she was joking.
I thought she had precognitive abilities too.
However, she was right after all, as she did indeed become the boss of Jiangzhou later on.
However, he wasn't a county magistrate; after the city was transformed, he became the mayor.
If I could accelerate history, then perhaps I could help her get promoted sooner.
In his previous life, Lu Yao was still in the village in 1974.
He knew that the higher-ups were launching a campaign.
Moreover, the appointment of a female bureau chief in Jiangzhou at that time was also widely discussed.
Lu Yao also saw Director Mei's photo in the village committee's newspaper; she looked as beautiful as a celebrity.
If she says it's a dream, then even if the Ju family father and daughter aren't allowed to say anything, they can't say anything.
If approved, Ju Zhenghua will value him even more in the future.
Having met this father and daughter, even if they don't become his protectors, at least others will have to think twice before trying to bully him.
Even if Yang Shouye wanted to avenge his son, he dared not do so too openly.
Ju Zhenghua listened to Lu Yao's words, and although he didn't quite believe them, he was also puzzled.
At least Lu Yao's prediction that his wife would be in a car accident came true.
If he hadn't reminded her, Ju Wen wouldn't have been able to stop her mother from working.
His wife couldn't possibly make an excuse not to go to the countryside.
Then they are doomed.
Now Lu Yao is making another prophecy. Anyway, it won't be long, so let's see if it comes true.
If it was a coincidence once, then it definitely wasn't a coincidence the second time.
This requires several days of practical verification.
If it comes true again this time, then I'll have to take good care of this godson from now on.
He dreams about all sorts of big things, but now he has a prophet by his side.
As for Lu Yao's claim that he dreamt of encountering a pack of wolves while climbing a mountain, there is no way to verify that.
Of course, Lu Yao was just making things up to lay the groundwork for his other prophecies.
Lu Yao traveled back in time and changed his own history, thus altering the future of many people around him.
However, historical events unrelated to him will still occur as scheduled.
By using these events to prove his prophecy, Ju Zhenghua and Ju Wen will surely fully support his policies in the future.
The three of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Outside, the villagers were also very curious about the content of Lu Yao and Ju Zhenghua's conversation.
How did Lu Yao, a mere child, manage to get in touch with such a high-ranking leader as the Minister of Armed Forces?
Moreover, he even brought a beautiful young woman with him to his door for a private meeting.
Could it be that they've taken a fancy to this country bumpkin and are looking for a son-in-law to live with them?
Thinking about it is one thing, being curious is another.
No one dared to peer through the window to listen.
The people were cutting up the wolf meat outside.
Outside the courtyard, two other people were closely watching the people inside the house.
But concern is useless; without getting close, you can neither hear the sounds inside nor see the people.
One is Ding Dahu, who is unwilling to accept defeat.
The other one is Zhang Mazi, who left and then returned.
Zhang Mazi examined the wolves' wounds, and when Gou Shengzi was dividing the meat, he dug out the bullets.
Zhang Mazi recognized those as carbine bullets.
Having previously lived in the mountains and forests as an outlaw, he also had some understanding of the Oroqen nomadic people.
When they first started using guns, they used copper-buoyed guns and "Beladonk" guns.
It is cumbersome and cannot travel far.
So they hadn't completely abandoned bows, arrows, and spears at that time.
Later, the Berdan rifle was introduced and became their most commonly used weapon.
But I've never heard of them using more flexible carbines.
Most of these wolves died from carbine bullets.
More than a dozen were killed instantly by a single shot to the forehead.
This indicates that the wolf's head was hit from this position only when the attack was head-on.
A wolf pack will not attack head-on if it faces a large group of hunters.
Those who are shot in the back, back of the head, or buttocks are the ones who are killed during a pursuit.
This bandit was also an experienced hunter.
So, just by looking at the gun emplacement, one could guess a thing or two.
These wolves launch their attack when they are surrounding one or two people.
This person was using a carbine and was an extremely skilled marksman.
However, due to the large number of wolves, the wolf pack was not completely driven away.
When he was trapped, the Oroqen people appeared and rescued him.
So who is this person using a carbine?
Is he a country bumpkin?
Is it Ding Mei?
That's absolutely impossible!
He watched these two kids grow up.
Doesn't he know what skills someone has?
Although I've heard that Tuwazi's temper has suddenly become volatile lately, and that he's been fighting Ding Dahu one-on-one and beating up Li Youtian and He Wangcai, I still can't believe he has the ability to take on a pack of wolves on his own.
Furthermore, would he even have a carbine and that many bullets?
Zhang Mazi went home full of suspicion.
He yanked Xilian, who was lazily lying on the kang (heated brick bed), off the bed.
Xilian was quite happy.
Why is the boss so fierce today?
Could it be the effect of secretly giving him ginseng soup?
He quickly lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and stuck his butt out.
But after waiting for a long time, Zhang Mazi didn't touch her.
Looking back, Zhang Mazi threw the bedding aside and lifted the mat on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Zhang Mazi's gun has been hidden here for many years.
Although I sometimes take it out to wipe it after locking the door, the intervals are not short.
It's been about a month since I last cleaned the gun.
Upon opening the hidden compartment, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"Where...where's my gun?"
