Zheng Li'niang, who was planning to ask the mute girl to help light the fire, saw the mute girl running out in a hurry as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to go out for. Please ask my elder sister to light the fire!"
Zheng Li Niang let out a cry of "Ah" and wanted to ask her where she was going, but she was nowhere to be found.
"Sister-in-law, why is my mute sister so anxious?" He came out after hearing the voice, but he only saw a back.
"He didn't say anything, it must be something important." Zheng Li'niang was a little worried.
Jiang Erlang said, "Then I'll go with her to check it out, so she doesn't get confused about the time and come back too late."
Zheng Li'niang responded, and the worry on her face gradually faded.
On the other side, not long after the mute girl walked out, she heard Fu Tuan say that Jiang Erlang was following her.
Thinking of Jiang Erlang's unusually good brain, she was in trouble.
Fu Tuan couldn't explain it clearly, and she didn't know how big the gold nugget was, but even if she knew, she wouldn't give all the gold to Gongzhong.
So we still have to get rid of Jiang Erlang.
Jiang Erlang saw that the mute girl was not walking fast, and was about to catch up with her, but he saw her suddenly run, and run faster and faster.
This girl!
He immediately chased after him.
But there was too much greenery around and the rocks obscured the view, so he soon lost sight of the person.
Holding his knees and taking a breath, Jiang Erlang looked around. This was the only way to go down the mountain, so he decided to wait here.
"How is it? Are you still following?" asked the mute girl.
In the past two weeks, she has been doing her own training more and more frequently, and her physical fitness has improved a lot. She can go up the mountain all day and run on the mountain without any problem.
[No!] Futuan answered as he jumped out to show the host the way.
After walking for a while, the mute girl finally found the place where the gold nugget was hidden.
The ball of fortune landed on a pile of rocks, [just below these rocks.]
Mute girl:······
She suspected that this guy was unhappy with her and wanted to tire her to death.
Just as the mute girl was moving stones and digging for gold nuggets with a miserable look on her face, Jiang Erlang met the old farmer whom the mute girl had met when she went down the mountain before.
The old farmer was holding a rabbit in his hand, his face full of joy.
"Grandpa Liu, you are lucky today!" Jiang Erlang said with a smile as he looked at the wild rabbit in Grandpa Liu's hand.
I was thinking, are rabbits so easy to catch in the mountains today? Mute Girl seemed to have taken one home too.
Old Man Liu waved his hand. "Where is that?! Mute Sister is truly blessed! She said there were rabbits there, and there really are! This rabbit is so stupid, squatting on the ground, not moving at all. Isn't that strange?"
He leaned close to Jiang Erlang and whispered, "Could your mute sister be the reincarnation of a fairy from heaven?"
Jiang Erlang's throat choked and he didn't know what to say.
Finally, he said, "If Mute Sister is the reincarnation of a fairy, how could she have been bullied before? It's getting late, you should go home early."
Old Man Liu didn't believe what he said and muttered, "Mute Sister was stupid before. It must be that one of her seven orifices is missing. The fairy hasn't come yet!"
Jiang Erlang watched Old Man Liu walk away in silence for a long while.
When the mute girl came down the mountain in a dirty state, she saw Jiang Erlang wandering on the path. After being reminded by Futuan, she gave a guilty smile and walked forward slowly.
"Second brother, why are you here?" she asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Jiang Erlang glanced at her unhappily, frowned, and asked, "You..."
"Second brother, second brother, let's go back and talk about it. Let's talk about it when we get back." The mute girl pulled Jiang Erlang's sleeve and shook it.
Jiang Erlang pursed his lips and let the mute girl pull him down the mountain.
As soon as the brother and sister returned home, they went into Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang's house and didn't even respond to Jiang Sanlang's calls.
"Tell me, what are you doing today..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Erlang stopped talking in astonishment.
The mute girl took out one gold ingot after another from the cloth bag that Qian Xiuzhu had sewn for her.
Finally, two yellow, plump gold ingots were neatly placed on the table.
"Where are you from?" Jiang Erlang's voice was a little louder because he was too shocked.
"Where did that come from?" Jiang Sanlang leaned against the window and asked, "Mom called you to eat!"
"I know!" the mute girl shouted towards the window.
Then he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Erlang, "I dug it from the mountain."
Jiang Erlang was silent for a moment, "Did you dig up someone else's grave?"
"Second brother, am I that kind of person?" She looked at Jiang Erlang in disbelief. "In the nearby villages, who has gold in their tomb?"
This answer convinced Jiang Erlang a little. He looked at the two gold ingots on the table, his throat rolling up and down, and asked uncertainly: "Tell my father and mother?"
The mute girl nodded heavily.
The two of them walked into the main room together.
"Why are you two so slow?" Jiang Wei complained, "If you don't come, I won't let you eat."
God knows how tormented she was to smell the delicious rabbit meat but not be able to eat it!
Jiang Sanlang agreed, "That's right."
Boss Jiang patted Jiang Sanlang on the head and said, "This rabbit was brought back by the mute girl. Why don't you go catch one?"
You only hit him and not Sister Wei, how biased!
Jiang Sanlang muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Mute sister, where have you been? Why are you so dirty?" Qian Xiuzhu couldn't help but ask.
Only then did everyone realize that the mute girl was not only dirty, but also had some dirt on her face.
"Mom, look!" The mute girl handed the cloth bag to Qian Xiuzhu.
"What is worth making you so happy..." Qian Xiuzhu asked as she opened the cloth bag. After just one look, she exclaimed in surprise and slammed the bag shut.
She stared at the mute girl with wide eyes, and after a while she seemed to be in a trance and reached out to pinch Boss Jiang.
"Ouch!" Boss Jiang cried out in pain immediately, his face flushed with anger. The children were all here, what was he doing?
Seeing that she was not dreaming, Qian Xiuzhu thought of something and asked stutteringly: "Where did this come from? Mute sister, you can't steal or rob it! You will be sent to the government..."
"Mom, she dug it in the mountains!" Jiang Erlang explained.
Qian Xiuzhu was stunned and looked at her father-in-law's anxious face, "Dad, take a look."
As she said this, she poured the two gold lumps directly onto the table.
Everyone felt dazed, as if their eyes were about to be blinded by the light.
"Is this...is this real gold?" Jiang Sanlang swallowed his saliva and reached out to touch it, but was slapped away by Qian Xiuzhu.
Old Man Jiang also wanted to ask, but he was the head of the family after all. After the initial excitement wore off, he picked up a gold ingot and bit it.
"Really, it's gold!"
Everyone looked at the mute girl, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Boss Jiang hurriedly asked, "Where is the mute girl?"
Everyone, dazzled by the gold, remained silent. Jiang Erlang held his forehead and said, "Go wash your hands."
Old Man Jiang had calmed down after his excitement and said to everyone, "Let's eat first when Mute Sister comes back. The kids are hungry."
