The treasure hunt game has become a real treasure hunt!
As soon as the maid announced that it was time to begin, they rushed to the garden in a flurry.
Chu Lanlan was still feeling the pinch from that golden flower, muttering, "Third sister, you're too generous. Five hundred taels! That's almost half a year's salary for me."
Chu Jinjin smiled.
She's incredibly good at finding materials.
The Li family's garden, also known as the Pear Garden, is bathed in the soft glow of the rising moon, its surface and trees gleaming with its fragrance carried on the night air—a truly breathtaking sight.
Chu Jinjin glanced over and roughly determined the direction to look for.
Treasure hunts, of course, must be conducted within reasonable limits.
A group of pampered young ladies, too weak to lift a finger or carry anything, could never reach the top of a tree.
As for burying it in the ground, that's obviously not an option either.
Chu Lanlan had the same thought and whispered, "Third Sister, could it be at the rockery?"
This speculation is reasonable.
The night was quiet, with the faint sound of flowing water. Chu Jinjin walked ahead, following the path covered with fallen petals. After a while, the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up.
Artificial hills and flowing water were standard features in wealthy households.
Some people had already arrived, including Chu Lanlan's future cousin, Yang Minjing.
She was observing the terrain with a serious expression when she noticed the Chu sisters had arrived, and hesitated to speak.
Chu Jinjin pretended that this person didn't exist.
In the apocalypse, you're either searching for supplies or on your way to find them. At first, there were all sorts of shopping malls and residences, but later they became fewer and fewer, and then they were all overturned.
Once you find the supplies, hide them well to prevent being robbed by your own family when you go out.
Therefore, Chu Jinjin is not only good at finding things, but also good at hiding them.
The stream looked to be about a meter deep, but the edges were quite shallow. It was covered with pebbles, and the artificial hill was half in the water and half attached to the bank.
Chu Jinjin narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtfully at the large, wet footprints on the roadside.
This is supposed to be a treasure hunt game? It's so unprofessional.
Chu Jinjin didn't intend to show off and was about to quietly tell Chu Lanlan when she suddenly realized something and turned around abruptly.
A tall servant walked over.
The female guests tonight were all from distinguished backgrounds, and for safety reasons, there were maids and servants everywhere who could be summoned at any time. Chu Jinjin encountered at least five or six of them along the way.
However, the servant's pace was too fast and too purposeful.
Yang Minjing seemed to have noticed something and waved her hand: "Go find me a net."
The servant hesitated for a moment, then bowed and replied, "Okay," before continuing to walk towards Chu Lanlan.
Chu Jinjin sneered, wanting to remind him that they were going the wrong way; behind Chu Lanlan was the Pear Garden.
The servant, with his head down, stumbled as he passed by Chu Lanlan, cried out in pain, and bumped right into her.
Chu Jinjin was prepared and pulled Chu Lanlan backward.
The servant bumped into something and fell into the water.
After he struggled to his feet and wiped the water off his face, he found that there was another person in front of him.
"Do you know what I did this morning?" Chu Jinjin picked up a round pebble and said softly, "A human trafficker kidnapped my niece, and I kicked him so hard that his manhood was crushed."
Chu Jinjin thought it was some huge conspiracy.
However, this is just a common tactic in the inner quarters: to knock Chu Lanlan into the water in front of so many people, especially the male servants. Chu Lanlan is soaking wet, and if another man jumps in to save her, physical intimacy is inevitable.
It's a very simple, yet insidious, trick.
