Lin Meng's mind was in a mess at the moment. She didn't know why the plot development was different from that in the novel.
Not only could he not find the treasure inside, but an accident also happened on Zheng Sanya's side.
If it weren't for the fact that the names of all the people here matched, she would have even suspected that she had really traveled through time and space in a book.
She could only comfort herself that she might have accidentally entered this book, which caused some butterfly effect.
Fortunately, even though Zheng Sanya didn't make any progress, Lin Ran didn't get the chance either, so she still has a chance later.
The most urgent thing now is to find the treasure first.
Thinking about the accident that happened today, Lin Meng is now a little worried. Is it because she doesn’t have the aura of the heroine that she can’t snatch the heroine’s chance?
Could it be that the treasure can only appear if Lin Ran goes there?
How else to explain why she turned it upside down but couldn't find even a trace of it?
Just like what happened today, was it because he wanted to win Zheng Sanya's favor on behalf of the heroine that things went off track?
Thinking of this, Lin Meng became anxious. If this was true, then wouldn't he be unable to find it even if he turned the broken yard up?
Or can I find a way to find the treasure with the help of Lin Ran?
Lin Meng couldn't suppress this thought. Thinking of the miserable life she had been living during this period, she couldn't help but start looking for Lin Ran everywhere, wishing she could find the treasure in the next second to free herself from the mud.
…
After Zheng Sanya left, Lin Ran was about to go find Lin Laosan and the others when he was stopped by Lin Meng.
"Ranran, are you ready to go back?"
Although there was some unpleasantness in the morning, they were cousins after all and would see each other every day, so Lin Ran still exchanged a few pleasantries with her. However, she found that the other party was a little absent-minded when talking to her.
However, she was not interested in Lin Meng's affairs. She also knew that something was wrong with Lin Meng, but the same thing happened. As long as they didn't bother her, she didn't bother to care about others.
Lin Ran was still thinking about the injury on Lin Lao San's leg. Although the wound was not serious, it would be better to go back and treat it, so she quickly ended the conversation.
"Cousin, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but just as she raised her foot, she was stopped by Lin Meng.
"Is there anything else, cousin?"
Lin Ran had a hint of impatience between her brows at this moment, but her upbringing and manners were perfect, so no one except those close to her could notice it.
Lin Meng naturally didn't notice it either. She was still struggling with what she should do.
Her original idea was to keep an eye on Lin Ran, so that when Lin Ran went to look for the treasure, she would know the location, and then find a way to get the treasure.
But she thought again, this method is too unpredictable. If the other person has the halo of the heroine and can get the treasure without telling anyone, then wouldn't she end up with nothing?
This method is unreliable, but she can't think of any other foolproof plan. It seems that she can only make preparations for both situations.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng finally spoke to test the waters:
"Ranran, it's like this. Last time I heard a story about a wealthy family whose property was ransacked, but not much was found. I heard that the family had hidden it."
"Then they asked us to guess where all the family property was hidden. If we guessed correctly, there would be a reward. But I couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. I thought you read more than me and naturally know more than me, so I wanted to ask you."
"My cousin really wants that reward. Ranran, can you please help me? Help me figure out where the reward is hidden."
Yes, this was the second solution she just thought of, to ask directly.
According to the plot, Lin Ran probably doesn't know about the treasure yet, so maybe I can get some information out of her.
Even if Lin Ran finds out, there is no need to worry. She will go and find her earlier so that she can follow her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ran tightened her grip on the handkerchief and immediately realized that Lin Meng was asking about the treasure of the old landlord's house.
But she really couldn't understand why Lin Meng was so sure that there was a treasure. Not only could he not find it himself, but he actually asked her about it.
Lin Ran felt strange again. Although they were cousins, their relationship was just an ordinary one before. They just greeted each other when they met.
If Lin Meng was truly certain that there was a treasure, wouldn't a normal person be searching quietly alone? Even if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't come and ask, right?
Does she look like someone who could find treasure?
Although he had a lot on his mind, Lin Ran remained expressionless.
"Cousin, you think too highly of me. How could I possibly have guessed this? Even if I studied a lot, the teachers wouldn't have taught me this! Besides, I've never even seen a wealthy family, so I don't even know where to start my guess."
Lin Meng became anxious when he saw that Lin Ran did not give a direct answer. He did not care about being exposed and continued to ask.
"Wasn't there a wealthy family in the hills behind our brigade? Even though the yard is dilapidated now, you can still roughly see what it once looked like. We can compare it there and make a guess."
Lin Ran keenly caught the anxious look that flashed across Lin Meng's face. Because she didn't know what Lin Meng was trying to do, she was more cautious in her response.
"Since you have an idea, you can try every place you can name. I believe you will get one right. Even if you ask me, I guess I will answer the same way."
"But those places that can be named are all in the open. How can they hide treasures there? I think it must be a very secret place. Otherwise, why can't those who searched the house find it?"
When Lin Meng said this, she kept staring at Lin Ran, hoping to see something from her face.
But she was disappointed. Lin Ran had a dull expression from beginning to end, as if she had no interest in these things at all. Even when she heard about the treasure, she looked indifferent, which made her a little discouraged.
But what made her even more powerless was yet to come.
Lin Ran just asked back:
"Since you said it's a secret place, then it's even more impossible for me to guess it! Rich families are not stupid. If the place where the treasure is hidden can be guessed by outsiders, then why hide it?"
These words left Lin Meng speechless. She finally realized that she could not get any information from Lin Ran. It seemed that she could only find a way to keep an eye on Lin Ran from now on.
So she pretended to be regretful and said:
"Oh, forget it. Since even you can't guess it, then I definitely have no chance either. It's just a pity that the prize that person promised me won't be obtained."
"It's a pity. I'm in a hurry to go back, so I'll leave first."
Lin Ran was too lazy to deal with her anymore. She said something perfunctory and turned to look for Lin Lao San and the others.
As she walked past, her peripheral vision caught sight of Shi Yan's departing figure.
