Chapter 78 Tomb
Liu Hehua was worried about her daughter-in-law and granddaughter staying in school, so she insisted on sending Lianhua's grandson to school with Lu Xing the next day.
The person standing guard outside today was Liu Fangfang. When she saw Lu Xing, she greeted her happily, "Grandma Lu, you're here today too?"
"Do you know where Bai Lu is?"
"Teacher Bai?" Liu Fangfang thought for a moment. "She should be in the office preparing lessons. What's wrong?"
Lu Xing learned from the system that some tomb robbers came to the school yesterday to secretly move things, and were caught by Liu Fangfang.
The principal was also very surprised. After learning about this, his first reaction was to hold Liu Fangfang down and tell her not to tell anyone.
She wanted to talk to Liu Fangfang about this, but while they were talking, children going to school kept passing by and greeting Liu Fangfang.
It just so happened that Liu Hehua also wanted to call Bai Lu out to talk about this, but because there were so many people around, she wanted to wait until everyone left before talking.
They waited until noon before Bai Lu finally had time to talk.
Liu Fangfang followed them because she had something to ask Lu Xing and was curious about what they wanted to talk about.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Liu Hehua grabbed Bai Lu's hand and said, "Xiao Lu, we can't stay in this school anymore. Can you take a long vacation and go home to avoid the crowd?"
"Mom? What happened at school? Why haven't I received any news? Tell me what's going on. Don't worry, let's find a solution together. If something happens at school, I can't avoid it even if I take leave."
She poured a glass of water for a few people and didn't think anything would happen at school. Maybe her mother-in-law heard some outrageous rumors outside again.
As expected, the next second she heard her mother-in-law say something outrageous, like the school was built on an ancient tomb. However, she did not immediately refute it, "Mom, how did you know the school was built on an ancient tomb?"
"What your Aunt Xing told me is true. Believe me. We can't live in this school anymore. You and the girl should take leave and go home."
Bai Lu always knew that Liu Hehua was a little superstitious, but she never affected others and would not drink any harmful talisman water, so after discussing it with Lu Zhengde, the couple felt that they didn't need to care.
When she heard her mother-in-law ask her and her daughter to take leave to go home, citing a friend's intuition about a tomb, she felt it was ridiculous. "Mom, if there really is an ancient tomb underground, it must be buried very deep. How did Aunt Xing sense it? Do you have any evidence?"
"Bai Lu, there really is an ancient tomb underneath, you..."
Liu Hehua wanted to say something, but Lu Xing stopped her. After all, these words did sound strange to people who were not superstitious.
If she hadn't been bound to a system, she wouldn't have believed such nonsense, let alone told it.
What happened to Liu Fangfang made her think of a more appropriate explanation. "Actually, I saw someone stealing something from the school. It looked like an antique, so I guess they were tomb robbers. The story about there being a tomb underneath the school is also nonsense."
"I said these strange things just to make your mother believe it."
This sounds much more credible than the previous reason.
"Auntie, are you telling the truth? Did you really see someone stealing things from our school?"
After seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude soften, Liu Hehua also understood Lu Xing's intention and immediately cooperated with her. "Bai Lu, regardless of whether there really is a tomb down there, the thief is definitely there. For your safety, you must not live in this dormitory until the thief is caught."
"Is there really a thief?" Seeing how confident they both were, Bai Lu became a little uncertain.
Liu Fangfang, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Lu, were there three thieves you encountered?"
"Yes, one is short and the other two are neither tall nor short. They look left and right as they walk."
Of course, Lu Xing did not encounter any thieves. She described the three people according to their appearance.
"Grandma Lu, I encountered it too. It was just like what you said. Three people came out of our school toilet carrying a large sack. I don't know what was inside."
Seeing the new colleague say this, Bai Lu asked Lu Xing again, "Auntie, did you really see them stealing antiques?"
"When they were moving, something fell out of the sack, and I happened to see it. It must be an antique."
Although I didn't see it, there was nothing else brought back from the ancient tomb except antiques.
Liu Fangfang added, "I've spoken to the principal about this, and he told me not to tell anyone and that he would handle it."
"He'll handle it?" Bai Lu's impression of the principal wasn't one for taking on responsibilities. "Did he really say that?"
In the past, if he heard that there was a thief in the school, he would have asked them to find a way to solve the problem, and if they couldn't solve it, he would have put the blame on them.
"Yes, he scolded me afterwards, asking why I left the teaching building and came to the dormitory during the day."
"If I hadn't come to the dormitory, I wouldn't have met those thieves."
"Mom, you and Auntie go back first. I'll talk about this when I get home from work today."
Bai Lu didn't believe the story about the ancient tomb. There must be a thief, and the principal was also very confused. They had to find evidence first.
But she was definitely worried about Liu Hehua getting involved in this matter, so Bai Lu thought about coaxing the two old people back home first.
After Liu Hehua heard the message, she didn't plan to stay in school forever, so she quickly agreed.
According to the plan, the two people should go back after leaving school and buying tofu.
As a result, the system detected that Principal Wang had contacted the three thieves and planned to meet at school in the evening.
So after class in the afternoon, Bai Lu was about to discuss the thief with Liu Fangfang, but when she opened the door, she saw Liu Hehua and Lu Xing sitting in the room, greeting her.
There was no intention of going home at all.
"Mom, aren't you home?"
"I just got up halfway and there was something I forgot to say, so I came back."
Several people looked at each other, and finally Bai Lu compromised first.
After all, it’s too late to go back now, it’s already dark.
At night, Lu Xing, who received a system reminder, woke up several people, and the three of them followed her to the toilet at the back of the house.
Before anyone could ask why, a sound came from underground.
"Didn't we agree not to come for a while? Why are you here again?"
It was the principal's voice.
"Uncle, we've run out of money. There's nothing we can do. I don't know which grandson set me up. I lost 10,000 or 20,000 in one night."
"Don't worry, we'll do it again. We'll have enough money and we won't have to come back for another year or two. This is your share."
Principal Wang had no idea their conversation had been exposed. He was worried the new teacher would tell others about the theft, but he was reluctant to part with the large sum of money in front of him. "You were too careless this time. Someone saw you."
"If I hadn't found a way to help you cover up the past, you would be finished."
What he meant was that he wanted them to give him more.
The eldest of the three was a little annoyed by his greedy attitude, but he really needed his help, so he took out another two thousand from his pocket and said, "That's all for now. We can only share it next time after this batch is sold."
"Okay, okay, you guys just be careful and don't hang around here during the day. I'm afraid someone will recognize you."
The people inside had almost finished their conversation, and the people listening outside were hesitating whether to leave secretly.
"Why leave? We have such a good opportunity, let's just trap them inside and call the police!"
"Do we have enough strength to block the exit? If we can't, it will be dangerous. There's more than one person inside."
Lu Xing asked the system to help calculate. The entrance to the cave was quite narrow, so as long as two people stood on it, they would definitely not be able to get out.
Then what is there to hesitate about?
The police officers on duty were still in shock when they were dragged to the school.
With suspicion, they opened the secret door and saw the thieves who were blocked below. The stolen goods were placed behind.
The principal was an accomplice and was also arrested, so the school was closed for three days.
After the thief confessed to the tomb robbery, experts from the provincial capital flew in overnight to check the situation.
The good news is that the location where the school is built corresponds to the tomb passage in the ancient tomb.
Bad news, a big shot is buried here. The tomb is very large. To be precise, the area covers half of the town.
The people in the town were in an uproar because of this matter.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
The children in the school were particularly happy because their holiday went from three days to one week.
