The two men were acting suspiciously, looking around the east and west of Yuxian Village.
I looked for a long time but found nothing.
Gu Sinian always felt that his little wife's idea was too crazy, as there was nothing in Yuxian Village except for fish ponds.
It's impossible that everything Xiaobao said is true... there might be some errors... it's already quite impressive that a three-year-old can recount things in detail...
How could you explain even the details so clearly? There's a discrepancy.
"Wife, I think this Fish Fresh Village has nothing but fish ponds, where is there any wealth?"
"That's hard to say, let's keep looking."
Su Ying was exposed to different things from a young age, and saw things differently from ordinary people...
Of course, we can't view Yuxian Village with the mindset of ordinary people.
She stood there motionless, her eyes fixed on all the fishponds in Yuxian Village.
Yuxian Village truly lives up to its reputation as a place famous for fish farming; not a single inch of land is wasted, and it's all used to dig fish ponds.
What Xiao Bao said is 100% true. It's true that you can see the whole village at a glance, so valuable things can't be placed in conspicuous places.
Fishponds are the only place in Yuxian Village where villagers live.
If those things were really hidden in the house, the villagers couldn't have missed them.
What exactly happened?
Standing there, chin in hand, deep in thought, the couple moved in perfect unison. Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, they both looked in each other's direction and uttered the words "fishpond" in unison.
The two glanced at each other and nodded in unison. Su Ying, afraid that their conversation might be overheard, moved a little closer to the man.
He covered his mouth with his hand as he spoke, "Which of these many fishponds do you think is most likely to be hiding something?"
Gu Sinian's lips twitched. So many fish ponds... how could you possibly see them with the naked eye?
If he really had that ability, he wouldn't be Gu Sinian.
"Can you tell something from its appearance just by looking at it?"
"That's true."
Su Ying observed the differences between all the fish ponds. It would be impossible to drain all the fish ponds and then go down to check if there was any treasure.
Yuxian Village relies on fish farming for a living. How could they possibly drain all the water from the fishponds and let these unrelated people disturb the fishponds that they depend on for their livelihood?
These things are impossible.
Su Ying stared intently at the fishpond in Yuxian Village, "Do you think... these people also came for the treasure of Yuxian Village... killing you was just a side thing?"
Perhaps.
Su Ying stared at all the fish ponds and noticed something different.
"Look at that fishpond facing the road and see what's different about it."
Gu Sinian looked at the fishpond near the roadside that his wife had mentioned, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"There's no difference."
"Take a closer look."
The obedient Gu Sinian looked at the fishpond again, but found nothing different. He shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to Su Ying.
"There's no difference; I really can't see any difference."
Su Ying learned to sketch and paint from foreign teachers from a young age, which is how she came to see the difference in this fishpond.
At first glance, it doesn't seem any different, but after looking at it several times, you'll understand the secret.
"Tell me the truth, I really can't tell."
"At first glance, they don't look any different, but if you look closely, the fish ponds in Yuxian Village all have a compulsion: all the fish ponds are about the same size, except for the one near the road, which is bigger than all the others."
Gu Sinian frowned, unable to see any difference.
"That doesn't necessarily prove anything, does it? Maybe the fishpond by the roadside is close to the road, the land is more fertile and larger, so they dug it a bit too big."
Su Ying shook her head, disagreeing with Gu Sinian's point of view, "Take another closer look and see if there's anything different?"
Gu Sinian looked again but couldn't see anything different. "If you can't tell, just say so. I really can't tell. Don't play dumb."
"What makes that fishpond different is that the road next to it looks bigger than other fishponds."
"Does this really prove anything?"
"Why can't this explain the problem? There's a lot to learn here."
Gu Sinian sighed and looked at Su Ying with a helpless expression. The world of artists is different from that of ordinary people.
They can often see things that others cannot.
Take, for example, that fishpond near the roadside.
"You suspect that the place where the thing is hidden is just a little bit of the thicker path?"
Su Ying nodded without hesitation, "That's exactly what I mean."
"You might as well just say the treasure is under the fishpond; that would be more convincing."
She would never have such a brain-dead idea.
"The treasure is hidden in the fishpond... Why would we have to find it? The villagers who raise fish and catch fish have already fished it all out. Do you think we'd even have a chance to find it?"
That makes sense, and the bottom of the fishpond is all mud, so it's not convenient to hide things there.
The term "young wife" is more acceptable to people.
"What do we do now?"
"Come over at night to do bad things."
"You're not thinking of keeping all of these things for yourself again, are you?"
Su Ying looked puzzled.
"What's the problem with that? I'm not keeping these things for myself. I'm just waiting for them to be dug up and conspicuously discovered so that someone can take them away."
"That group of people may not have come here looking for these things."
That's not necessarily true. Qiao Xiyan didn't die... She still has memories of her past life and knows how things will unfold.
These people couldn't have appeared here for no reason; there must be something fishy going on.
Killing them was just a convenient thing to do; stealing their bags was the real goal.
"You forgot that those people hid in the bamboo forest where we couldn't see them, just to dig for something."
Gu Sinian recalled what he had seen not long ago; it seemed like he could really hear the sound of hoes being wielded from the bamboo forest.
“They’ve already dug up that area. If I’m not mistaken, the houses where the villagers of Yuxian Village live are their second target.”
The man said with great concern, "What should we do now?"
"Let's just make it cold."
"Stop fooling around."
Su Ying looked in the direction of the fishpond and suddenly smiled, "Actually, they almost found their target, but they were just a little unlucky."
Gu Sinian was arguably the person who understood Su Ying the most, and he knew exactly what she was talking about as soon as he said those words.
"We were just a little unlucky. The spot where we planted the explosives was almost identical to the fishpond by the roadside. If we had planted a few more explosives, we would have discovered it..."
"But the treasure was just a guess we made based on what Xiao Bao Suo said."
"I trust my gut feeling; the treasure is there."
"Should I go check it out and see what's going on?"
Gu Sinian was about to leave when Su Ying grabbed his arm. "Those things are mine. Don't you dare try to take them."
