Lin Cuiying was filled with doubts, but she knew that it would be useless to rack her brains now.
Why not ask the system, "Where did they go?"
"Host, they've fled down the mountain."
"Tian Dong, let's go back," Lin Cuiying said.
With so much happening today, she's lost all interest in continuing the search for the treasure.
"You're going back already?"
"Okay, let's go back." Lin Cuiying nodded and turned to walk down the mountain.
Seeing this, Lin Tiandong had no choice but to follow.
The two walked down the mountain along the same path they had come from.
Throughout the journey, Lin Cuiying kept thinking about the treasure those people had mentioned, her heart filled with doubt.
"Sister, what exactly is this 'treasure' that those people were talking about?" Lin Tiandong couldn't help but ask.
“I don’t know either.” Lin Cuiying shook her head. “However, since they are so mysterious, they must be something extraordinary.”
"Should we go look for it?" Lin Tiandong asked.
“We don’t even know what they’re looking for, so how are we supposed to find it?” Lin Cuiying said. “Besides, this mountain is so big, where are we supposed to look?”
Lin Tiandong felt somewhat discouraged upon hearing this.
He had originally thought that Lin Cuiying would take him to continue searching for treasures.
"Alright, Tiandong, let's go back." Lin Cuiying said, seeing Lin Tiandong's somewhat dejected look. "So many things happened today, I'm not in the mood to look for the treasure."
Lin Tiandong didn't say anything more.
The two continued walking down the mountain.
When they were almost home, Lin Cuiying told Lin Tiandong not to tell their parents what had happened on the mountain, so as not to worry them.
Mrs. Chen was somewhat surprised to see the two of them return so early.
"Yingzi, Tiandong, why are you back so early today?"
"Tian Dong wasn't feeling well, so we came back early," Lin Cuiying said, pointing to Lin Tian Dong.
Lin Tiandong, who was suddenly called out, was taken aback for a moment.
When did his stomach start hurting?
He looked at Lin Cuiying with some confusion, only to see her winking at him repeatedly.
Lin Tiandong immediately understood that Lin Cuiying was asking him to cooperate with her.
"I...I have a bit of an upset stomach." Lin Tiandong had no choice but to nod, forcing himself to speak.
Upon hearing this, Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"What's wrong with your stomach? Is it serious?" Mrs. Chen asked repeatedly.
"It's nothing, Mom. I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Okay, you go and rest for a bit. I'll make you some ginger soup to warm your stomach."
"No need, Mother, I'll be fine after a rest," Lin Tiandong said.
"No, your stomach isn't feeling well, you need to drink some ginger soup." After saying that, Chen turned around and went to the kitchen.
Lin Cuiying, standing nearby, heard something strange: ginger soup? To warm the stomach?
After a while, Mrs. Chen came over with two bowls of ginger soup.
"Yingzi, you should have some too." Madam Chen handed the ginger soup to Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong. "Tiandong, drink the ginger soup quickly."
"Thank you, Mother." Lin Cuiying took the ginger soup and drank it down in one gulp.
Lin Tiandong looked at the bowl in his hand, but didn't want to drink it.
He has never liked ginger soup since he was a child, finding the taste somewhat strange.
"Tian Dong, drink up!" Chen said.
"I...I'll wait until it cools down before I drink it," Lin Tiandong said, looking reluctant.
"The ginger soup is only effective if it's drunk while it's hot," Chen urged.
Lin Tiandong felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
He had no choice but to pick up the bowl and drink the ginger soup in one gulp.
"That's a good girl." Seeing this, Madam Chen couldn't help but laugh. "You all rest for a bit, I'll go cook."
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong nodded, watching Chen Shi turn and go to the kitchen.
After a while, the two little girls, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, also returned.
As soon as the two girls entered, they saw Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong resting in the courtyard.
"Mother, Uncle, you're back?" Lin Yuelan said.
"Yes." Lin Cuiying nodded. "Where did you go?"
“We went for a walk around the village with Grandpa,” Lin Yuelan said, holding Lin Cuiying’s hand.
"So? Did you find anything fun?"
Upon hearing this, the two girls couldn't help but exchange a smile.
“Mother, we’ve found a fun place,” Lin Yueju said.
"Oh? Where is that place?" Lin Cuiying asked curiously.
“When we went to the end of the village with my grandfather, we found a cave.” Lin Yuelan looked scared. “The cave was pitch black inside, so we didn’t dare to go in.”
"A cave?" Lin Cuiying frowned slightly. "Where is it?"
They had never heard of a cave at the end of the village, and the end of the village was very close to where they lived now.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuelan pointed towards the end of the village, "It's over there."
Lin Cuiying looked in the direction Lin Yuelan was pointing, her brows furrowing slightly.
"How could there be a cave there?" Lin Tiandong asked, looking puzzled.
Although they had only lived there for a little over half a month, the siblings had lived in Luhua Village for over twenty years and had never heard of any caves in that place.
"We don't know either." Lin Yueju shook her head. "Mother, could there be ghosts in that cave?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Lin Cuiying scolded.
Upon hearing this, the two little girls couldn't help but shrink back.
They didn't know why, but seeing that cave made them feel a little scared.
"Alright, stop thinking about it." Lin Cuiying looked in that direction. "Since that cave is so scary, you shouldn't go there again."
The two little girls nodded obediently.
"Your grandfather hasn't come back yet?"
Lin Cuiying had been talking to the two young girls for so long, but she still hadn't seen Lin Changgeng.
“Grandpa is still over there in the cave,” Lin Yuelan said, pointing towards the end of the village.
"Sis, shall we go take a look?" Lin Tiandong's curiosity was piqued.
Lin Cuiying also wanted to see what was going on, so she agreed and got up to walk outside.
Seeing this, Lin Tiandong quickly followed.
The two young girls, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, wanted to follow, but Lin Cuiying stopped them.
"You stay at home, we'll go check on things and be right back."
The two little girls were somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
They wanted to go and see it too.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong walked towards the end of the village.
Not long after, Lin Changgeng's figure was seen.
Lin Changgeng was standing in front of a cave, looking at something.
"Father," Lin Cuiying called out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Changgeng turned his head.
"Yingzi, Tiandong, what brings you here?"
“We heard from Lan and Ju that there’s a cave around here, so we came to check it out.” Lin Cuiying stepped forward. “Father, what’s this cave about?”
