Mi Jiaojiao's hair is long and black, but with a bit of natural curl. The loose hair on her forehead is curled into small circles, sticking to her face, making her look more playful.
Ning Jiqiu's fingers moved slightly, and for a moment he had the urge to help her smooth her hair.
"Give it to me!" Mi Jiaojiao pulled the wooden basin, but Ning Jiqiu held it tightly and she couldn't pull it.
She glared at him and said, "What are you doing? Are you mad at me for ruining your plans? If I had known, I wouldn't have come!"
The staring look is so cute.
Ning Jiqiu thought to himself.
"Here you go. Go back quickly." He said absentmindedly.
Mi Jiaojiao snorted, took her wooden basin and left.
The people watching the show on the shore saw that her clothes were clean and only her hair was wet, and they thought Mi Jiaojiao was washing clothes here.
Many of them also wash their hair before washing clothes, especially women with long hair, which is inconvenient to wash at home, so they wash it by the river.
So no one really connected this matter with Mi Jiaojiao.
The focus of the topic at this moment was Huang Zhu and Ke Xueruo who had just come ashore. As for Ning Jiqiu, he naturally slipped away in the chaos.
......
"Comrade Xiaoning, Huaiyan asked me to tell you that Lin Zhendong has been sent back."
After work that day, Uncle Sun came to Ning Xi specifically to talk about this matter.
Although they got the marriage certificate, Ning Xi still lived with her uncle because Zhao Zhengrong asked her and Zhao Huaiyan what they thought about using the second floor of the small western-style building as a new house and had to redecorate it.
In addition, Zhao Huaiyan still had to disguise himself outside, so the two of them did not meet often.
Ning Xi: "Why did it take so long?"
It feels like it’s been almost a month.
Uncle Sun had been following up on the matter and told her what he had learned: "The military district didn't have time to send him over, so they handed him over to the Public Security Bureau. Now they're here to investigate the case and brought him along."
Lin Zhendong's current status is special. He has been punished by the army and will be sent down for reform after returning. He cannot be allowed to come back on his own to prevent him from giving up and running away.
Ning Xi thought so too. After all, he was the male protagonist and should have some courage. If he was not controlled, he might run away.
"But Comrade Xiao Ning, don't worry. Although he is still in Mingjiang City, his range of activities is limited. He can only move around near the alleys. The people on the street are watching him, so he definitely won't have the chance to come here and cause trouble."
"I understand, Uncle Sun, thank you for making the trip." A smile flashed in Ning Xi's eyes, and her plump red lips curled up.
Uncle Sun's legs trembled when he saw it, and he remembered the dog that day...
"By the way, Huai Yan has already found out about the dog from last time. It should be related to Zhu Ming from the food factory, but there is no direct evidence."
"Zhu Ming? I don't even know him!" Ning Xi had never heard of this name, but Lin Zhendong was sent back, so she also had to go to the east of the city.
By the way, ask Hu Guangrong about the situation.
There was another important reason why she wanted to go to the east of the city, which was to collect treasure.
The original novel states that the protagonist's starting capital was obtained by selling his own antiques to a Hong Kong businessman, which gave him his first pot of gold.
The Hong Kong businessman brought the items back to Hong Kong City and directly sent them to the auction, selling them at a sky-high price and making a fortune. In addition, they were quite superstitious and believed that Lin Zhendong was their benefactor.
Later, when Lin Zhendong's business ran into problems and his golden thigh disappeared, this Hong Kong businessman helped him again.
This time Lin Zhendong is going to be demoted, and it is unknown when he will come back. He will definitely take the things away. Ning Xi is going to be a robber this time.
Late at night, Changle Hutong.
"Host, how can you be sure that he will take action tonight?" Seeing that Ning Xi had been squatting for several hours, the system couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of its heart.
No wonder the host can insist on reading various medical books every day. With such perseverance, what can't he do?
"I'm sure."
Ning Xi gently pinched a mosquito to death, her eyes fixed on the Lin family's house.
Lin Zhendong was under close watch during the day and couldn't move. He would be sent to the countryside tomorrow, so he would definitely take all his treasures with him tonight, or sell them directly.
When Ning Xi, Lin Yongjun and He Hongjuan were unable to move around easily, Ning Xi searched their home but found nothing.
Even if Lin Zhendong is unable to move now, the old lady is not dead and will definitely help her eldest grandson find a way out.
“Crack—”
The gate to the Lin family's courtyard opened, and in the moonlight, Ning Xi saw the male protagonist in the original text.
He is over 1.8 meters tall and often trains in the army. Even though he is down and out now, he still has an imposing aura. He has a buzz cut and a lot of stubble on his face, making him look a bit sloppy.
But you can still see that he looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which fits the setting of the male protagonist very well.
Lin Zhendong opened the door a little and looked around vigilantly.
After waiting for nearly five minutes and making sure that there was nothing unusual and no one was secretly following him, he came out in a crouched position.
Ning Xi paid money to let the system track his whereabouts and follow him from a distance.
Lin Zhendong walked to the door of a house at the end of the alley and knocked three times gently. Soon a thin middle-aged man came out to open the door.
"Here I am. Are you sure no one is following you? I will be dead if I get caught." Lin Siping looked around cautiously.
"Uncle Si, don't you know who I am? Don't worry, even though I was sent back, I'm not a criminal after all, so they won't be watching me that closely.
Do you have the money ready? I’m leaving tomorrow.”
Lin Zhendong felt aggrieved. He wished he hadn't pretended to be that dead girl. He raised a stone and hit his own foot.
"Let's take a look at the things first. What treasure do you have that you dare to ask me for 2,000 yuan and 50 kilograms of food coupons? You must be crazy." Lin Siping always felt that this kid was trying to bluff him.
"If Fourth Uncle is not sincere, then there is no need for us to look at it. If the situation is not urgent, I will never take action now." Lin Zhendong frowned.
"How could that be? Look, your fourth uncle has already taken everything." Lin Siping was carrying a big bag and opened it to show Lin Zhendong.
Lin Zhendong felt relieved when he saw the bundles of money inside, and took Lin Siping with him to secretly break into an old house that had been sealed off.
The owner of this house had ancestors who were high-ranking officials. They suffered a lot a few years ago and were sent to the countryside. For some unknown reason, the house was not distributed to others and has been sealed ever since.
"Fourth Uncle, you are selling this thing to foreigners, right?" Lin Zhendong was of course well aware of his activities, otherwise how could he offer such a high price.
"What nonsense are you talking about, nephew? I'm just secretly doing some business accounts. You can't accuse me of this."
Lin Siping was right. He thought to himself that this kid was too smart. Fortunately, he was sent away tomorrow, otherwise he would be a nuisance sooner or later.
He didn't say anything else, took out the shovel he had prepared in his bag, and the two of them started digging under the ginkgo tree in the backyard, and soon dug out a large box.
"Your father is really brave, hiding in this place."
Lin Siping couldn't wait to open it and remove the layers of wrapping. A beautiful blue and white porcelain vase sparkled in the moonlight.
