[The more I look at this sandalwood box, the more familiar it looks. It seems to be similar to the sandalwood box my father used to store his jade pendant. It is beautifully crafted, as if it was made by the same person.]
【How about opening it and taking a look? 】
Su Yun was still hesitating.
"Knock~"
Su Xingxue carried a fist-sized stone and placed it on the box.
She pointed at the stone and then at the sandalwood box.
"Xingxue wants her sister to open it?" Su Yun asked.
Su Xingxue nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Su Yun raised the stone and aimed it at the lock of the sandalwood box.
"Be good, keep the box."
Su Huaiyi's legs became more agile and he ran very fast.
Su Yun was stunned, "Master, is your leg healed?"
She had always thought that Lingxi was not very useful. After all, her grandfather drank so much every day but didn't see any effect.
He still limps when he walks.
I didn't expect that I can run so flexibly now.
Su Huaiyi didn't care about that. He put the sandalwood box in his arms.
"Ah~ Oh."
Su Xingxue stood on tiptoe to reach out, but she was only as big as her butt, not even as tall as Su Huaiyi's thigh.
Su Huaiyi glanced around and lowered his voice.
"Su Xingxue, if you keep digging in the yard, I will send you to Erniu's house."
I think of that weird uncle with a beard.
Su Xingxue waved her hands and shook her head with a look of resistance.
[Pfft~ Only Uncle Erniu can control this little devil of my sister. ]
Su Yun smiled secretly.
After threatening Su Xingxue, Su Huaiyi looked at Su Yun again.
"Good boy, can you please pretend you didn't see this box and forget about it from your heart?"
"Master, don't worry!"
Su Yun nodded, patted her chest, and looked like she understood everything.
Su Huaiyi looked left and right, not knowing where to hide the thing.
He glanced at the chicken coop and an idea came to him.
"You two, turn around."
"good."
Su Yun pulled Su Xingxue and turned around.
Seeing that the two men really did not peek, Su Huaiyi hid the sandalwood box in the mezzanine above the chicken coop shelf.
Worried, he pulled the thatch down to cover the box.
Su Huaiyi clapped his hands, "You two pretended not to see it, did you hear it?"
"Yeah." Su Yun and Su Xingxue nodded together.
[I never thought my grandfather would hide some private money. ]
Su Huaiyi stared at Su Yun. Didn't you promise to forget it from the bottom of your heart? Why did you blurt it all out?
Su Huaiyi looked towards the door nervously, and suddenly saw Li standing there.
She crossed her arms and stared for an unknown amount of time.
Su Huaiyi:……
"Old man, are you done yet? My dear grandpa probably can't pull the cart by himself, let's go and help."
No matter how he listened to it, Su Huaiyi felt that the voice was eerie.
He gave Su Yun a reproachful look and limped towards Li.
[My grandfather ran very well just now, why is he running again now...]
Su Yun stared at Su Huaiyi's legs and couldn't understand what was going on.
Su Huaiyi twisted his foot and almost fell to the ground.
He closed his eyes and walked towards Li as if he was going to die.
"Hahaha~" Su Xingxue smiled so hard that her eyes were curved.
Su Yun covered her mouth.
"That's really ugly. Don't laugh like that again. Come on, I'll wash your hands for you."
…
Li walked a few steps forward and stopped not far from the door of her house.
It was still a little chilly at night, and Su Huaiyi was sweating all over his forehead.
"Old lady~"
Li ignored it.
Su Huaiyi grabbed his arm.
"I just hid a little bit. I'll give it to you when I get home."
"Su Huaiyi, you are a very secretive person. Tell me, where did you get your private money from?" Li pinched Su Huaiyi's soft flesh.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you."
"Don't worry, my old lady. I haven't done this since we got married. This is my private money before we got married." Su Huaiyi promised.
Li gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't I know you can do carpentry?"
"I'm just learning for fun, to earn a little money..." Su Huaiyi laughed dryly.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Li squinted his eyes.
"No, really."
Su Huaiyi swore.
The things he carved could be considered carpentry, so he wasn't lying.
Nothing wrong! The two were still talking.
Liu Quanzheng came over, grunting and pulling the cart.
He wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Huaiyi, are you two okay?"
"Okay." Su Huaiyi hurried to help Liu Quanzheng push the cart.
Li stood on the other side and helped push.
Liu Quanzheng muttered quietly, "Could it be that he really has a stomachache? This is too fast."
…
After returning home and washing up, Su Huaiyi pushed Li.
"Old lady, it's cold outside. I'll go get you some private money."
"Yeah." Li responded.
Su Huaiyi put on a coat and walked towards the chicken coop.
I touched the box three times but couldn't find it.
He couldn't believe it and looked closer.
There was really nothing there, just a gap.
No, where is the box?
Su Huaiyi would have a hard time reporting back if he couldn't find the box.
He could only bear the pain and walk to the pigpen in the backyard, lift a corner of the pig trough, and fish out the sandalwood box underneath.
"Why did it take so long?" Li sat up.
"I forgot where I put it and had to look around for it before I found it." Su Huaiyi forced a smile.
He handed the sandalwood box to Li.
Su Huaiyi stood on the bed again and took out a key from the beam.
After Li took it, she opened the box and took out two fifty-liang silver notes.
"What kind of little carving can make so much money?"
"Haha, maybe it caught the noble's eye."
Su Huaiyi laughed dryly, then he simply lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
"I'm sleepy, sleepy. I'm so tired after a busy day."
Seeing that Su Huaiyi was pretending to sleep, Li put the banknotes away and lay down on the bed to sleep.
…
Day and night alternate.
Su Yun got up in the dark.
Wash up and practice martial arts.
He practiced the Golden Crow Sword Technique again before stopping.
There was no one to guide her in the formation now, so she only had a vague understanding of it and didn't know where to start.
It can only be delayed.
"Sister~" Su Xingxue's dress was loose.
He rubbed his eyes dazedly with one hand, while holding the sandalwood box tightly with the other hand.
[Oh my god, when did my sister bring this box again last night? ]
Su Yun really didn't know. As soon as she returned to the room, she lay down and fell asleep.
Su Xingxue raised the sandalwood box and said, "Knock~"
[You can't steal this money. This is my private money. ]
"Knock knock~" Su Xingxue's round eyes gleamed as she ran to the jujube tree to look for the stone from yesterday.
"Sister, let's not knock. Be good." Su Yun took the stone and put it aside.
He squatted down and tidied Su Xingxue's dress.
She also tied her messy hair up again.
"Xingxue is so cute." Su Yun couldn't help but pinch her little face.
Su Xingxue still didn't give up.
"Knock~money~"
"Why are you asking for money so early in the morning?" Li opened the door and came out.
Su Huaiyi was still sleeping. He had been thinking all night and finally fell asleep in a daze.
Now he is sleeping soundly~ [It's over~ My grandfather's private money is in danger. Grandpa, this is not my fault, I really didn't say anything.] Su Yun glanced at the sandalwood box and said nothing.
