Chapter 121: Treasure Hunt 1 (Three Updates) Go back and get a shovel to see what's going on...
Yao Zhizhi has been busy living her own life in recent years and hasn't paid much attention to that nasty hooligan. After all, he's already in jail, so even if she wanted to beat him up, she wouldn't have the chance.
Now that she thought about it, she seemed to have overlooked a question - did he really force her to jump into the river?
Could it be because he committed something else?
Or... could it be that he was put in jail because of the interference of his aunt and uncle?
But this doesn't make sense. What's the reason for doing this?
Could it be that the evildoer knew some secret of Zhang Tianping and had to lock him up to maintain peace?
I really couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask my brother-in-law.
Soon, Yang Shuming called back. "He stole electrical wires from the production team's electric pumping station, stripped the wires, and sold them as scrap copper. It's an economic crime, and he's serving a ten-year sentence."
"Do you know the exact time?" Yao Zhizhi was indeed naive. She thought he was in jail for being a hooligan.
Yang Shuming looked at the file and said, "You were arrested less than three days after you jumped into the river in late April 1970."
Yao Zhizhi said thank you, hung up the phone, and called Director Yuan again to ask about the time when Zhang Tianping was transferred from Yicheng.
December 1966, shortly after the new movement began.
In other words, Yao Jingjing may have met the eldest daughter of the Zhang family at the beginning of the second year of school, and then had the opportunity to come into contact with Zhang Tianping.
As for when the two of them hooked up, no one knows.
So, where did that inexplicable sense of familiarity come from when she saw Zhang Tianping?
She is the same age as Yao Jingjing. Is it possible... that she was a classmate of Zhang's eldest daughter?
But doesn’t Zhang Tianping work in the city?
She could only ask Yao Taotao to verify it.
Yao Taotao had just gotten off work and was teaching her child how to wipe his butt.
She was extremely surprised to see Yao Zhizhi coming over. This was the first time Yao Zhizhi came to her on her own initiative. She quickly handed the child to Zhang Caini to take care of, turned around to wash her hands, and went outside to talk to Yao Zhizhi.
"Are you looking for me?" There were stars in Yao Taotao's eyes and she looked very excited.
Yao Zhizhi walked out, and only when she was far away did she ask, "Do you know why Li Jin was arrested?"
"Isn't it because of hooliganism?" Yao Taotao was confused. She only went to junior high school and didn't know much about the law.
Yao Zhizhi glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street and walked forward in silence. It was rush hour, so talking was inconvenient, so she simply went to the edge of Yu Lake.
Yao Taotao followed all the way and spoke only when they arrived: "I remember you said you didn't remember anything after your high fever. Are you asking this today because you remembered something?"
"No, something happened recently, can you help me analyze it?" Yao Zhizhi usually asks Qi Changxiao or her third brother to analyze things together when she encounters problems, but this time is different. She needs someone who knows the inside story from Yaowangzhuang.
Yao Taotao is the best choice.
Maybe Yao Jingye also knew some inside information, but she didn't like Yao Jingye.
Yao Taotao stopped by the lake and sat on a rock with her: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"The Northeast..." Yao Zhizhi talked about this for over half an hour, and finally asked, "Zhang Tianping's eldest daughter is called Zhang Xiaohua. Was she ever my classmate?"
Yao Taotao said helplessly, "I don't know about that. You should ask Mengmeng. Although you two weren't in the same class, you went to school together. I had already stopped going by then and was helping with farming at home. You were kind of quiet and reserved back then, so I really don't know."
"Then go back and ask for me when you have time. I won't go." Yao Zhizhi had no recollection of what she was like before, so she asked curiously, "How bored was I back then? Was I even more bored than Yao Ningning?"
Yao Taotao nodded: "More or less. You two used to be the most timid in the family. But you two are timid in different ways. She is really a coward, and anyone can bully her. She doesn't resist, but you don't want to cause trouble. If you are really pushed into a corner, you will resist."
Yao Zhizhi looked at the shimmering lake in front of her, feeling a little dazed.
Is she being depressed to protect herself?
It's like a kitten separated from its mother. When it sees a mouse, it can only hide and lower its sense of self-esteem.
She really didn't remember, so she could only sigh: "You go back, I'll be alone for a while."
"Zhizhi..." Yao Taotao felt a little sad and wanted to hug her, but she held back and finally just patted her shoulder. "I'll go ask for you tomorrow and give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Okay, thanks." Yao Zhizhi didn't look back until the footsteps faded away, then she prepared to get up and go home.
Turning her head, she saw Qi Changxiao, who looked worried. She smiled and said, "What's with that expression?"
"I'm worried about you." Qi Changxiao sat down. "I know you have something on your mind. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, but remember, I'm always willing to listen."
"Let's go back. I'm sleepy." After all, it was too painful to take the train back from the Northeast.
Yao Zhizhi hadn't slept well for two days and three nights and was tired.
I didn't have an appetite to eat when I got home, so I just took a quick shower and fell asleep.
I thought I could have a dream and find some memories, but I slept all night and didn’t dream of anything.
She woke up at five in the morning. The summer sky always brightened early.
I opened the door and went to the well to brush my teeth. Halfway through, the gate rang.
Third brother didn’t come back all night!
When he opened the door, he saw a slender little white snake wrapped around his arm.
Yao Zhizhi was stunned: "Brother, where have you been? Could this snake have hatched from that nest of snake eggs?"
"Yes, the snake mother insisted on giving it to me. I don't know what she means. It won't leave unless I accept it. There's nothing I can do." Yao Weihua was helpless and had to accept it.
and……
Snakes are yin and can help raise ghosts. He wants to raise the female ghost in Yard No. 7 in a small snake, but he doesn't know if it will work. He will go to the women's prison to ask at night.
The female ghost recently found her "family" there and has become so happy there that she doesn't want to go back to Liuli Lake.
Yao Zhizhi smiled: "Fortunately, we didn't just throw the eggs away that day. By the way, brother..."
Yao Zhizhi already knew the cause of Yao Jingjing's death. In that case, why not ask her third brother for help? After all, the men's prison and the women's prison are very close.
After hearing her request, Yao Weihua agreed in one breath: "It's not difficult. Wait for me to go to the men's prison and find a few bastards to help kick him out and ask him. I can even kill him to prevent him from coming out and harming others in the future."
"Ask clearly first, and we'll talk about it later." Yao Zhizhi had to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, if the mother and daughter came and they accidentally ran into each other, would they treat them as enemies or passers-by?
Although the system infers that the mother and daughter should be unaware of it, we still have to verify it and find out the truth.
After a quick breakfast, Yao Zhizhi went to work first. In the afternoon, she took a leave and went to the street office to buy the yard and replace a new set of door locks. She would clean up after dinner in the evening.
Yao Weihua followed him, and the little white snake was hiding in his sleeves, and it didn't come out until they reached the yard.
Yao Zhizhi was quite curious and asked the system: "What kind of snake is this? Is it poisonous? Does it bite?"
The system grinned and said, "Of course it's non-toxic. It's the offspring of a white-blooded leopard. Why would it bite you if you didn't provoke it?"
"Is it true?" Yao Zhizhi heard this guess from her third brother, and she didn't expect it to be true.
The system complained, "Isn't this weird? You can even accept my existence, but you can't accept a mythical creature?"
"Okay, okay, you make sense. Okay, help me see how to find treasure? I can't just dig all over the yard, right?" Yao Zhizhi glanced at the yard. It was slightly smaller than the one in Yard No. 7. There was a very tall jujube tree and a pomegranate tree in the yard. All the fruits had been pulled out, and there were leaves all over the ground.
The system refused to help: "It costs 10,000 tokens to turn the Si Nan once, and it will help you locate within a one-meter radius, which costs 8,000 tokens each time. You only have a little over 30,000 tokens left. Don't waste them, just be self-reliant. Anyway, the yard is so small, what's there to be afraid of? If you really find a treasure, the Si Nan will light up."
"Okay." Yao Zhizhi rolled up her sleeves and started packing.
The man who committed the crime was married and had a wife and children, but they had all moved away, leaving behind only some useless things.
For example, a broom with its feathers shed looks like an ugly rooster whose feathers have been pecked off during a cockfight.
For example, there was an enamel basin with a big hole in it. The basin was full of mud and there was a patch of garlic planted in it, but it was pinched bare.
Just put it in a sunny place.
Yao Zhizhi put on work gloves, bent down, and moved the pot of garlic to another place.
Just as he walked a few steps away, Yao Weihua's voice came from behind him: "Oh, why is it this again?"
What? Yao Zhizhi turned around and saw a twisting black and red centipede in its place.
They are as thick as a thumb.
Just as he was about to find something to chase the centipede away, the little snake in the third brother's sleeve flew out and passed in front of the centipede. The next second, the centipede was gone.
Yao Zhizhi was stunned as she looked at the little snake struggling to swallow on the ground.
This baby snake is so amazing!
While Yao Zhizhi was amazed, she did not forget to check for hidden dangers. She quickly put the basin down and opened it at an angle to see if there were any more. Fortunately, there were only a few woodlice crawling around.
It seems I have to be careful next time. It rains a lot in Yicheng in summer, and centipedes, spiders and other creatures may be hiding in these corners.
No matter what is cleaned up next, the little snake will be responsible for clearing the area.
Not to mention centipedes, it even dares to swallow scorpions, one in one bite, as if eating biscuits, crunchy.
Yao Zhizhi was even a little worried that it might be pricked by the scorpion's stinger.
It turned out that she was overthinking it. The little snake was just like any other snake. After eating the scorpion, it went after a small centipede. The centipede was only as big as a little finger and was not even big enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
Yao Zhizhi: ...Third brother found a very powerful thug who specializes in dealing with these poisonous insects. He is very powerful!
After a simple tidy up of the yard, I was basically ready to start. I opened the door to the main room and prepared to clean the house.
Yao Zhizhi went in and saw that the place was empty!
Empty!
The one in Qi Tiao Hutong at least had some old furniture, but this one is just an empty shell with garbage all over the floor.
It saves a lot of trouble, just clean it up.
But then, where is the treasure?
The three rooms are empty. They can't be underground, right?
Yao Zhizhi walked around the room, and when she reached the place where the bed was originally placed, the Si Nan in the system lit up.
No way, is it really underground?
Okay, let’s go back and get a shovel to see what treasures they are.
