Chapter 813 4 Mercedes-Benz
Gao Xiaoqin and her family ran around looking for evidence to prove Qi Tongwei's innocence. Li Ming and other friends also lent a hand, using their connections and resources to help Qi Tongwei collect evidence and expose Zhao Ruilong's crimes.
After a lot of hard work, they finally found the ironclad evidence that Zhao Ruilong had bribed and framed Qi Tongwei. Faced with the evidence, the police launched an investigation into Zhao Ruilong and brought him to justice.
Qi Tongwei was acquitted. The moment he walked out of the detention center, the sun shone on his face. He took a deep breath, feeling the beauty of freedom.
"Tongwei!" Gao Xiaoqin and her family rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
"I'm back." Tears flashed in Qi Tongwei's eyes. He knew that the war was finally over and he and his family had finally won victory.
After returning home, Qi Tongwei looked at everything familiar and felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He had experienced too many hardships and tribulations.
Qi Tongwei returned home, thinking that life after all the hardships would finally usher in a long-term peace. The family sat together in the familiar house, laughing and talking, the children playing and laughing around him, Gao Xiaoqin's gentle eyes always following him, and his parents also showed a long-lost smile of relief on their faces. This warmth made Qi Tongwei feel that all the hardships he had suffered before were worth it.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One night, Qi Tongwei suddenly woke up from his sleep, his back soaked with cold sweat. He dreamed of his great-grandmother, who had a kind but anxious face. In the dream, she repeatedly told him: "Don't fight anymore, there will be a disaster in the family, even locking the door can't stop it." Qi Tongwei woke up from his dream before he had time to ask for details. He sat on the bed, breathing heavily, the scene in the dream was vivid, making him feel uneasy.
Before dawn, Qi Tongwei could no longer fall asleep. He stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the dark night, feeling more and more uneasy. Just then, he heard a noisy sound in the distance, like the shouting of a crowd and the surge of water. Qi Tongwei was startled and hurriedly woke up his family.
"Xiaoqin, get up quickly, something seems to have happened!" Qi Tongwei's voice was filled with anxiety.
The family hurriedly put on their clothes and walked out of the house. They saw the village in chaos, people running and shouting in panic. It turned out that a flood came from nowhere and was quickly submerging the village. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. This sudden flood caught everyone off guard.
Qi Tongwei looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly remembered the warning from his grandmother in his dream. He didn't have time to think about it and immediately organized his family and villagers to save themselves. Everyone picked up tools and tried to stop the flood, but the momentum of the flood was too fierce and all efforts seemed insignificant.
In the chaos, Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of the direction of the ancestral tomb. He was worried that the ancestral tomb would be submerged by the flood, so he ran towards the direction of the ancestral tomb regardless of the danger. Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin also hurriedly followed.
"Tongwei, wait for me!" Gao Xiaoqin shouted from behind.
When they arrived at the ancestral tomb, they found that the water around it was already very deep. What shocked them even more was that the ancestral tomb had exploded, and a mysterious atmosphere filled the air. Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin approached carefully and found that a large pit had been blown out of the ancestral tomb, and something seemed to be flashing inside.
At this time, Liang Lu also arrived. Seeing Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin in front of the ancestral tomb, she was slightly stunned, but the situation was urgent at the moment, and she could not care much.
"Qi Tongwei, what's going on?" Liang Lu asked anxiously.
Qi Tongwei shook his head: "I don't know either, let's see what's inside first."
The three of them walked into the pit carefully and found an object emitting golden light. They dug it out and found it was a lifelike golden cicada. A closer look revealed that it looked like a giant toad. The golden toad had a peculiar shape, with two sparkling gems inlaid in its eyes and delicate patterns carved all over its body, as if it was telling an ancient story.
Before they could figure out the origin of the golden toad, the flood had gradually receded. But the village was in a mess, with houses and items destroyed by the flood everywhere. The villagers sighed as they looked at the tragic scene before them.
Qi Tongwei knew that the most urgent task was to rebuild his home. After discussing with Gao Xiaoqin and Liang Lu, he decided to keep the golden toad in good condition first, and then help the villagers rebuild their homes together. In this process, Gao Xiaoqin and Liang Lu put aside their past grievances and worked together to help Qi Tongwei. Their actions touched Qi Tongwei deeply, and also made him see the kindness and tolerance in human nature.
In order to find out the origin of the golden toad and the reason for the explosion of the ancestral tomb, Qi Tongwei looked for relevant information and experts. After some efforts, he finally found a scholar who was well versed in ancient cultural relics and feng shui.
"Professor, please look at this golden toad. What is its origin?" Qi Tongwei carefully placed the golden toad in front of the professor.
The professor put on his glasses and observed the golden toad carefully, with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is not an ordinary golden toad. It is a lucky beast that brings wealth in ancient legends and is said to possess mysterious powers. The explosion of your ancestral tomb is most likely because the seal of the golden toad was destroyed, triggering a series of chain reactions," the professor explained.
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei was filled with doubts: "What is the relationship between this golden toad and our family? Why is it buried in our ancestral tomb?"
The professor shook his head: "I don't know about this either, but the appearance of this golden toad may indicate that there will be a major change in your family."
Qi Tongwei returned home with a heart full of doubts. He looked at the golden toad and fell into deep thought. He thought of his grandmother's dream and the sudden flood. All of this seemed to have some mysterious connection.
In the process of rebuilding his home, Qi Tongwei found that the villagers were full of awe and curiosity about the appearance of the golden toad. Some said it was the blessing of their ancestors, while others said it was a bad omen. Various opinions spread in the village, making the origin of the golden toad even more confusing.
One night, Qi Tongwei dreamed of Grandma Zu again. Grandma Zu looked more serious this time and told Qi Tongwei: "This golden toad is the secret of our family. It contains great power, but also hides great danger. You must keep it properly and don't let it fall into the hands of bad people."
Qi Tongwei nodded in his dream: "Grandma, I understand. I will definitely protect it."
After waking up, Qi Tongwei decided to tell his family and villagers about the golden toad. He gathered everyone in the village square and told them about the origin of the golden toad and the instructions of his grandmother.
