Song Lili looked down and saw that Zhang Qinghua's legs were straight. She shook the rope again, and it stopped swaying. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
He tentatively stretched out his foot again, and this time he didn't feel like he was about to fall. He then moved his foot down a little, and his other foot followed suit.
Song Lili was slow, but at least she made a move. Zhang Qinghua was very patient and never urged her.
Song Lili was worried at first, but after getting used to it, she wasn't so scared or nervous anymore. She became bolder and her movements became much faster.
Zhang Qinghua kept an eye on Song Lili and followed her pace.
Fortunately, the cave wasn't far from the top, only three or four meters away, and we arrived quickly.
It's unclear whether this hole was formed naturally or dug out by man; it's not very big, probably only a dozen square meters.
It was very dry inside, with no animals or plants. Song Lili noticed that there were some things inside, which looked like books.
When Song Lili went over to take a look, it really was old-fashioned binding, and it seemed to have been around for a long time.
Zhang Qinghua also stood next to Song Lili and said, "This belongs to my mother. My mother's family used to be quite wealthy, and all the children were educated."
Song Lili nodded, surprised that Zhang Qinghua's family was full of intellectuals, but soon felt that something was not quite right.
Something's not right. My grandfather's family situation doesn't match the "Li Qinghua" in front of me! He's a native of the countryside; where would he find an educated person?
But his name is Li Qinghua, she herself is certain of it. Could it be that something has changed because of her rebirth?
Song Lili couldn't figure out what was going on; it was too unpredictable.
Zhang Qinghua didn't notice Song Lili's irritability. When he saw these books, he thought of his mother and the times when she taught him to read and write.
His eyes were filled with longing and sadness, and suddenly, he missed his mother.
Song Lili took a look and found that many of the books here were ones she had heard of before, books of great historical significance. She was surprised that Zhang Qinghua had them all.
She was very satisfied with this place. Her things should be safe here, and even if those people went crazy again, they wouldn't risk their lives to come here.
She looked around and became even more satisfied. Although the way she got here frightened her, it was safe, wasn't it?
"Are you the only one who knows about this place?" Song Lili wanted to confirm again.
"No, it's two people, you and me. Nobody else knows."
"Okay, thank you, this place is really nice." In return, Song Lili decided to remind Zhang Qinghua, "By the way, if you have any other things like those books at home..."
She pointed to the pile of books and said, "There are also some old items that can be placed here. Don't leave them outside; too much wealth attracts thieves."
Zhang Qinghua found it strange. Those things, nowadays, wouldn't even be worth a handful of wheat if given away. How could they attract thieves?
Little did she know that decades later, these would be priceless treasures. Of course, Song Lili was looking at them from a futuristic perspective, so of course she thought they were valuable.
Fearing that Zhang Qinghua wouldn't take it seriously, Song Lili emphasized again, "I'm serious. No one will steal it if it's left here, and it's quiet when you look at it. Isn't that great?"
Actually, they're just blatantly lying. Who would come here to read a book? Are they looking for a thrill?
Zhang Qinghua didn't ask any questions, he just said, "Okay, I will." It's fine to leave the things at home here.
He had heard his mother talk about how the landlords' land and property were divided up in the past, and he thought to himself that it would be good to comfort himself.
Little did he know that Song Lili's reminder and his own actions would save his family from disaster.
After finding a suitable place, Song Lili wanted to leave. It was getting late, and her family would worry if she didn't go home soon.
Zhang Qinghua also walked out, but stopped after a few steps, standing still with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Song Lili waited for a long time but Zhang Qinghua didn't appear. She turned around and saw him standing there. "What are you doing? Hurry up and go back!"
Zhang Qinghua's eyes were dark and unfathomable, as if they could not see the end. "I have something to ask you?"
"What do you want to ask?" Song Lili asked, puzzled but also curious.
"You like Li Qinghua?" Zhang Qinghua suddenly asked, catching everyone off guard.
"Wh...what? What did you say? Say it again, who do I like?" Song Lili was startled and immediately raised her voice, not noticing the strangeness in Zhang Qinghua's words.
