The three of them lowered their heads, ran towards the woods with great speed.
The eldest brother Mancang threw down the iron box, and came to take the ladder from the old woman's hand. The two of them carried it into the woods, and the third brother followed in. The three of them sat on the ground, gasping for breath, their hearts beating so hard that they seemed about to jump out of their throats.
"It's getting late, let's hide our things quickly." Mancang got up. They worked for about two hours and it was already dawn outside.
The third brother was very eager to see what they had spent so much effort to get, but time waited for no one, the ladder had to be dealt with and the iron box had to be transported away, and they must not make the same mistake again and let some sparrow take it away.
Mancang carried the ladder to Fenglan's place, but did not enter the yard. He put the ladder on the back hill and returned to the woods.
Wu Zhiqiu broke some branches in the woods, wrapped the iron box inside, tied up her and the third brother's clothes, tied the branches together, tied them to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode the bicycle to the two back houses in Pigeon City.
I was thinking about renting out the store, but recently I had some work and Mancang was sick, so she didn't have time to look after him. Now is the perfect time.
Wu Zhiqiu pedaled very fast, feeling guilty after being a thief. There were few pedestrians on the road, but there were many breakfast stalls. He was sweating profusely while riding. The two rooms had separate doors, which was also the reason why Wu Zhiqiu chose this place.
He looked around, opened the door, carried the bicycle into the room, and sat down on the ground exhausted.
Lao San and Mancang also arrived at this time. They walked a long way before taking the bus, so they arrived at about the same time as Wu Zhiqiu.
No one knew about these two houses except Mancang's family. The third child looked at the houses and thought to himself that his parents were really good at hiding things. When were they going to buy these two houses?
Wu Meifang knew about it, but she thought the two houses were no big deal, so her family didn't say anything, causing the third child to lag behind in information.
"Mom and Dad, I opened the box!" The third child couldn't wait any longer. Now that the box was here, he had successfully robbed his fellow thieves.
Mancang and Wu Zhiqiu were also anxious, their eyes fixed on the iron box.
There was a small lock on the outside of the box. The third brother found a brick and smashed it open. With his heart trembling with excitement, he opened the iron box. There was a tarpaulin sheet on top to prevent moisture.
They opened the tarpaulin and saw something underneath that made the three of them gape in amazement. It was a layer of large yellow croakers! They counted twenty of them.
Mancang quickly looked out the window and moved the box under the window so that it could not be seen by passers-by outside.
The third brother rubbed his hands tremblingly, "Oh my god, I've made a fortune! Why open a shop? This box of gold is enough for him to live a life of idleness and wait for death!"
"Master San! Everyone must call you that from now on."
I am also excited when I have a full warehouse. This time I really got it! Nothing can be done faster than grabbing it. No wonder our ancestors wanted to do this business!
Wu Zhiqiu's eyes were full of excitement and her eyes were wet with excitement. This must be more than her golden stick.
Mancang picked up a big yellow croaker and found that only this layer was gold bars, and there were several boxes underneath.
"My imperial seal!" The third brother rubbed his hands. Oh my God, this box satisfied the wishes of everyone in their family.
Mancang took out a small box and opened it. Inside was an emerald green jade ring. They didn't know what antique it was, but they thought the ring had a warm luster, no impurities in it, and very good water content.
"Dad, this can't be imperial green?!" The third child stared at the ring intently.
"Mancang... Does he think he knows the jade lady? Even the gold lady can know the jade lady thanks to the old lady's help.
Wu Zhiqiu didn't recognize him anymore. It was the first time they had met in two lifetimes.
