The advantage of rain is that the soil is easier to dig and it's also easier for her to fill it back in. The water mixed with mud can wash away all traces.
As for whether we can still discern anything, that's a given.
However, at this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Because the sounds of people talking and rustling as they got out of bed could be heard coming from inside the house.
So she quickly swept away the footprints, backed up to the base of the wall, climbed over the wall and the ladder, and left the Weng family's house.
Soaked to the bone, she left the Weng family and found a secluded spot to enter her spatial dimension.
I quickly took a hot shower and then made myself a cup of Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine).
Although we were wearing raincoats and working in the rain, we were still covered in sweat and rain, making us feel sticky and uncomfortable.
After taking a shower, she felt much better, but the blisters on her hands made her frown.
"Is it easy for me to make money?"
He took out a needle, disinfected it, punctured the wound, applied disinfectant, and then put on a bandage before returning to the guesthouse with his umbrella.
As soon as she entered the room with her wet hair disheveled, her parents surrounded her. "What are you looking at?"
Seeing the worry in their eyes, Xiao Jiu quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just took a shower."
"You silly child, you went out without a word, making us worry all day. Did you go to see the Song family?"
Xiao Jiu shook her head, "No, really, I'm not looking anymore. I'm only staying here for three days, and it's already the third day. Where would I find the time?"
After saying that, he mysteriously pulled his parents aside and said, "Actually, I went treasure hunting. Let's forget about the house for now."
I've inquired about it. The Song family is powerful. Zhou Yue and I both have military service, so it's not suitable for us to confront them head-on. We also have to consider my third brother and sister-in-law.
So I dug for a whole day and night to find all the things that Grandpa and Grandma Weng left me, and finally finished digging them out.
Look at my hands, ouch! If I didn't have medicine and keep eating to replenish my strength, I wouldn't have been able to finish digging.
I never imagined the Weng family was so wealthy; there were at least twelve boxes of all sizes.
Zhao Lingli gasped, "Didn't they say the Weng family boy died from eating peanuts? How did they hide it?"
Not only that, Tao Changyi then asked, "Those people lived in the Weng family for so many years, but they didn't find anything."
"Isn't it said that people from that committee are the best at digging up and stealing treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but explain with admiration: "Perhaps it's because they buried it deep?"
After saying that, he himself was amused by his reasoning, "Actually, it's not that deep, only about three meters deep."
But if you bury it another five or six meters, I reckon the well water will seep out.
The wooden box I pulled out was already badly rotten.
Tao Changyi spoke of the people in a certain committee with deep resentment, saying, "It's not that they didn't look for them, it's just that they couldn't find them."
Or perhaps the Weng family did something to make them think they had finished digging.
These are tricks commonly used by wealthy families; at least, our family has done them before.
Moreover, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; they couldn't possibly keep all their belongings in the Weng family's old house, could they?
You have no idea how crazy those people were back then. Some even dug three feet into the ground and turned the whole yard upside down.
You found them all? They're all hiding in the old man's house? That's incredibly audacious!
Xiao Jiu shook her head upon hearing this, "The Weng family only found twelve boxes. I don't want to look for the other two places."
Upon hearing this, Tao Changyi immediately realized something: "Could it be in a cemetery?"
Xiao Jiu was on the verge of tears. "Dad, how could you guess that? That's right, it's the cemetery, their family's ancestral graveyard."
I don't consider myself to have the habit of digging up people's ancestral graves, so I'll just leave those things there!
Zhao Lingli wholeheartedly agreed, "Even with this, we've already gained a huge advantage. You're right, we can't do things like digging up someone's ancestral graves."
Seeing that the rain outside had subsided considerably, Xiao Jiu led the two of them to have a meal first, and then Xiao Jiu went to sleep after returning.
In her hazy sleep, she felt someone touching her forehead; her body felt limp and she couldn't muster any strength.
I am clearly aware of what's happening, but I just can't wake up.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes again, the room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
She remembered, but her head was spinning terribly. The next second, she heard the sound of pulling the light cord, and a familiar and concerned voice came from beside her.
"You're awake?" Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, then her pupils dilated slightly: "A-Yue, when did you get back?"
"I came back in the afternoon. As soon as I came in, I could tell your temperature was abnormal. You had a fever, almost 40 degrees Celsius."
After saying that, he gently touched her forehead with his own.
"I called a doctor to give you a fever-reducing injection, and your fever has gone down now."
fever?
After all these years of being a supermodel Barbie, her body is actually running a fever?
She seemed a little dazed; it seemed she had caught a chill because she had put on her raincoat a little late yesterday to save time.
After a long day of hard work, getting caught in the rain, and all that running around, your resistance will drop, and you'll easily catch a cold.
"Have you finished your business?"
"Yes, it's all taken care of. I called Third Brother, and he said he hadn't seen you."
I figured you might be busy, so I didn't tell him your address.
I heard from my parents that the house is no longer an option.
"I didn't go to the neighborhood committee to ask for it. After finding out that the house had been occupied by local bullies, I was too lazy to bother with it."
Let's leave the house here for now. I heard it was quite noisy inside today. Is my third brother and sister-in-law here?
"Yes, I brought them here. We're leaving tomorrow, so we need to let them meet their parents, right?"
They intended to rent a house here for their parents, but were refused.
Xiao Jiu wasn't surprised at all. "They're still in pretty good health, so it's fine for them to go back to their hometown for a while."
Given their nature, they wouldn't want to cause trouble for their children unless absolutely necessary, and would prefer to live their own lives.
Since Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law had already come during the day, Xiao Jiu didn't need to take her parents to find them.
Because her time was so tight, on the fourth day, she drove directly to the guesthouse at eight o'clock in the morning.
There's only one guesthouse near Liuxiang. I left the address when I left, so it's easy to find.
I was supposed to have three days of personal leave, but I have a meeting this afternoon.
On our way back, we happened to be passing through the county town, so we took my parents directly to a bus stop that was convenient for them to get home.
"Father, Mother, you go back first. I'll come find you after I finish what I'm doing."
"Brother Yue, could you please help Mom and Dad tidy up the house at home?"
Time was of the essence, so Xiao Jiu handed her parents over to Zhou Yue and immediately turned onto the national highway to head to Zhengzhou.
"Sigh, this child still has a fever, yet he still has to worry about us. Yue, are you done with your work?"
Looking back at her son-in-law, he had already carried the luggage to buy tickets. At this time, to get from the county town to the village below, one had to wait at the bus station.
"Father and Mother, she is not a child anymore and can take good care of herself."
Besides, don't forget, she is a doctor herself, and she went to the provincial military hospital.
In just a few days, he'll be lively and energetic again. We can just go home and wait for him.
