Money, gold, and treasure maps
I immediately went to find the most important thing, but all I saw was an empty pit.
"Boss, boss, Li Laosan is in trouble, in trouble."
Wang Yiting threw herself onto Li Laosan, pushing him away while anxiously calling out to him. The cold she felt was completely irrelevant at that moment.
"Husband, wake up! Our money is gone!"
The money is gone.
Li Laosan, still not fully conscious, suddenly stood up and grabbed Wang Yiting's shoulders.
"Honey, what did you say? The money's gone?"
"Third brother, look over there."
He pointed, and Li Laosan looked in that direction; it was empty, the wooden box was gone.
I want to faint but I'm too scared to. What else don't I understand? There's a mantis lurking behind them.
"Who is it? Who on earth is it?"
With nowhere to vent his anger, Li Laosan's gaze quickly locked onto Li Fuyi.
"How did your clothes end up on Fu Bao?"
clothing,
Reminded, Wang Yiting felt cold and looked at Li Fuyi. The clothes covering her were indeed Li Fuyi's, but she had clearly fainted last night as well.
"The one in charge is Li Fuyi."
Fu Bao stopped shouting, and Wang Yiting felt she had guessed the truth.
"Honey, look at the back of my neck. Do you see any marks from being hit with a stick?"
Li Laosan glanced at it and saw that there were indeed bruises; they had turned into visible marks overnight, a stark reminder of what had happened.
"Only our family knows what we're going to do. The family members and the head of the family are sensible children and won't betray us. Only Li Fuyi might. Head, think carefully about where we're going."
"It's the Zhou family's house."
"Yes, Li Fuyi and Zhou Wenzhu have always been good friends."
He left it at that, but what needed to be said, Li Laosan has already said.
so,
Last night, it's highly likely that Li Fuyi and Zhou Wenzhu teamed up, knocking on their weapons while Zhou Wenzhu took the wooden box, and incidentally used it as a disguise for Li Fuyi.
Pretending to be the victim of a sneak attack made her seem more and more right; otherwise, why would anyone be so kind as to cover Li Fuyi with a coat?
"Honey, I'm sorry to trouble you, we can't..."
"I understand, sir."
With a dark and unfathomable light in her eyes, Wang Yiting stared hostilely at Li Fuyi lying on the ground.
She lost her family and her support system; what does it matter if she's her own daughter?
If it weren't for Li Fuyi, Wang Qianyi wouldn't have gotten into trouble, nor would her parents. She would still be the pampered daughter of the Wang family, instead of having no family to return to as she does now.
The way Li Laosan looked at Li Fuyi also changed.
If their own daughter conspires with an outsider to scheme against them, she is no longer their own daughter, but their enemy. From now on, they can no longer tell Li Fuyi about family matters without any reservations as before.
Li Laosan patted Wang Yiting on the shoulder and prepared to retrieve her clothes.
As soon as it was torn open, Li Laosan wished he could die on the spot.
Li Fuyi, with her eyes tightly closed, was wrapped in a long, brightly colored camisole.
With their clothes torn open, Li Laosan and Wang Yiting dared not move, afraid that the little cutie would attack them if they weren't careful.
What should we do, sir?
Wang Yiting looked at Li Laosan questioningly, avoiding eye contact with his clothes.
Just then, Li Fuyi's eyes flickered, as if she were about to wake up. The next second, her eyes opened.
"Father, Mother, what's wrong with me? My body and neck hurt so much."
Unaware of what was happening, Li Fuyi moved slightly. The feeling of being restrained made her uncomfortable. Before she could struggle, she found herself face-to-face with the little cutie.
"ah"
A sharp scream startled the birds resting in the woods into flight.
In Li Laosan and Wang Yiting's horrified eyes, the little cutie exploded out of thin air, and bits of flesh and blood covered Li Fuyi's body, some even landing on Li Laosan and Wang Yiting's faces.
"Father, Mother, why aren't you helping me!"
Her impatient tone and nonchalant expression showed no trace of her earlier panic. If one hadn't heard it with their own ears, they wouldn't have believed that the scream had come from Li Fuyi's mouth.
"It's filthy."
Shaking off the pieces of flesh covering her body, Li Fuyi walked over naturally, took the clothes from Li Laosan's hand, and put them on herself to cover the bloodstains.
Holding Wang Yiting's hand, Li Fuyi seemed to transform back into her sweet and innocent self.
"Mom and Dad, it was so scary! It almost bit me!"
With her body stiff and her hands trembling, Wang Yiting wiped the blood from her face. The vivid color was a stark reminder of what had just happened.
Looking down at Li Fuyi, Wang Yiting's expression began to waver.
My daughter seems to have always been like this, both strange and familiar.
Li Laosan and Wang Yiting didn't mention the wooden box again, but their conviction remained unchanged. The difficulty lay in the mysterious and strange good fortune surrounding Li Fuyi, which posed a challenge for them.
My daughter is still my daughter, but it seems like we can no longer get close to her; there has been a distance between us.
Zhou Wenzhu woke up; he wasn't much better off than Li Fuyi. Li Fuyi's screams had woken him.
Upon waking, insects began scurrying about on her body, and the lost sensation of pain returned. A fine, dense itching tormented Zhou Wenzhu.
The box is still there.
Touching the wound on the back of her neck, Zhou Wenzhu saw the box in the pit and felt relieved.
The next moment, he quickly stepped forward, opened the box, and the money was gone.
I looked around but couldn't find it. It seems someone really took it, but that person didn't know its value and left behind the most valuable gold and the treasure map.
Losing money is painful, but important things are still there, so while feeling pained, there's also a sliver of relief.
