Zheng Abao shook his head, "Don't worry, Sister Yiyi. Although this matter has turned into a good thing now, I know your concerns and I won't tell my parents."
Chi Yiyi closed the door and entered the space. She continued to read and study.
Time quickly turned into night.
Chi Yiyi stretched lazily. She was hungry. Since Gu Xuan hadn't come yet, she didn't feel like eating by herself.
She also wanted to go to the cowshed to see what was going on, so she couldn't continue reading. She had to eat something before going out.
Chi Yiyi ate something casually and when she was about to go out, the rain outside had stopped.
The village was quiet again at this time.
She first came outside and found a tree to inquire about Chi Bilian's whereabouts. She learned that Chi Bilian had excitedly gone out this morning and had not come back since.
I guess she is addicted to serving old men.
She had no choice but to go to the cowshed first.
After leaving the village and walking along the river for several miles, we finally arrived at the cowshed.
Chi Yiyi was very tired after walking all the way. There was no one around, so she took out a bowl of spiritual spring water from the space and drank it up in one gulp.
She looked at Fang Qi in the cowshed and wondered if there would be anything fun to watch tonight. Could Chi Bilian force out the hiding place of the Chi family's gold?
"Little girl, there will definitely be something exciting tonight. I think I know where the hidden place of gold you mentioned is, but you have to give me some of the nectar you just drank."
Chi Yiyi turned her head and looked at the tree. It was a sturdy old locust tree that was talking to her.
She walked over and took out a small bowl of spiritual spring water and poured it on the tree roots. "You tell me, if the news is useful to me, I will give you another full bowl of elixir. If not, then there will be no more."
The old locust tree trembled its branches and leaves and said, "Don't worry, little girl. I am the oldest tree in this area. If for nothing else, I will tell you everything just for the bowl of nectar you promised me."
Chi Yiyi just stood there waiting for it to speak.
After the old locust tree carefully sorted out all the information in its memory, it slowly said, "I guess the little girl must have come for the gold hidden by the old man Chi Changping. On the day when the old man and his family of three were sent here, one of them told me that the old man's family had a big secret. Later, I also began to pay attention to their family. The old man was indeed hiding something on his mind. He came to my trunk every night for several days and hand-drew a picture, which seemed to be a map. Every time he finished drawing a picture, he would mutter to my tree that the revitalization of the old Chi family would depend on it, and then he would look up at the sky and sigh."
"Let's talk about the old man's daughter-in-law Feng Wanxian. Ever since a woman named Chi Bilian came to visit them, Feng Wanxian has started asking the old man for something every day. If the old man doesn't give it to her, Feng Wanxian threatens to deduct his food. The old man's son is also heartless. He just watches his father suffer every day and doesn't care at all."
Chi Yiyi guessed that what Feng Wanxian wanted from Chi Changping must be the hiding place of the gold. Feng Wanxian should have known that something bad would happen to her children on the farm.
The old locust tree continued, "Sure enough, news came from the farm today, saying that the old man's two granddaughters were living a disorderly life on the farm and seduced two rogues, and asked the old man and his family to find a way to solve the problem themselves, otherwise they would have to let the two girls marry the two rogues. Feng Wanxian was so angry that she beat and scolded the old man on the spot, and it was the other people in the cowshed who helped to pull them apart."
After hearing this, Chi Yiyi felt very happy. Feng Wanxian was a mistress. She, the daughter of Chi Jianan's legal wife, was secretly sent away since she was born. As the daughter of a mistress, she deserved to be humiliated like this.
The old locust tree suddenly said vigilantly, "Little girl, get behind me quickly. There is someone coming behind you. It seems to be the woman named Chi Bilian."
Chi Yiyi quickly hid behind the thick trunk of the old locust tree. She whispered, "Can you still copy the pattern that Chi Changping drew on you?"
"I think I can do it." said the old locust tree proudly.
