Besides, she had no idea who took the box away, and could only silently hate the fact that this planet had no surveillance system!
What a sin!
Jun Haoyue put the box back in its place, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "Since that person has been here, he must have left traces in the house. Let's look around. We can't have come here in vain."
This was not without reason, so Xu Xingchen immediately took action and began looking for clues around him.
After an unknown amount of time, Jun Haoyue said, "Let's go. He slipped away through the skylight. It looks like he hasn't gone far."
Hearing this, Xu Xingchen instantly jumped up from the pile of firewood beside him, "Really? How did you know?"
"Let's talk while walking." Jun Haoyue seemed very anxious, which made Xu Xingchen suspicious.
But she didn't think too much about it at the moment, and temporarily suppressed her suspicion of Jun Haoyue, "Okay, you lead the way first."
The two men sneaked out of the yard, circled around the skylight, and then ran towards the southeast.
"Tell me how you discovered it?" Xu Xingchen was extremely curious about this.
The kitchen was so small, she checked all the exits several times and even the skylight carefully, but there was nothing unusual!
Jun Haoyue slowed down his pace slightly and spoke concisely, "There's a stove under the skylight. There's a footprint on it, but it's not easy to find."
Hearing this, Xu Xingchen had to look sideways at Jun Haoyue. She originally thought that her eyesight was already very good, but she didn't expect that there were people who were better than her. She immediately started to flatter Jun Haoyue.
"My cousin is truly incredibly intelligent. If Zhuge Liang were still alive..."
“There’s someone ahead!”
Before Xu Xingchen finished praising her, Jun Haoyue couldn't bear to listen any longer and couldn't help but interrupt her.
But he was also telling the truth, there was indeed someone ahead.
"He was carrying a bag. I don't know if the things were in it." Xu Xingchen looked at the man and muttered.
The two men blocked the man's way, one in front and one behind. Seeing that he was dressed simply and had a gentle and handsome face, he looked like a poor scholar.
"Brother, excuse me for interrupting you." Xu Xingchen called out to the "bitter scholar." "Where are you coming from, brother?"
Lu Heng looked at the two of them, his vigilance evident. "What are you doing? Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Don't be nervous, we just lost our way and wanted to ask you if there are any villages nearby." Xu Xingchen lied without blinking.
Hearing this, Lu Heng was slightly relieved, but he still kept a safe distance from Xu Xingchen. "I'm just a passerby, but there is a village in the direction I just came from. You can go there and ask."
In this way, it is almost certain that the person holding the box is the "poor scholar" in front of us.
"That's great, but my brother's old leg injury has recurred. It hurts so much that he can't walk, and I'm too weak to support him..." Xu Xingchen blushed, and was secretly at a loss, pretending to be somewhat decent.
Needless to say, Lu Heng understood about half of what was said next, and his gaze fell on the person leaning against the tree.
Jun Haoyue saw that he and Xu Xingchen cooperated very well, and before Lu Heng's gaze turned to him, he showed a look of great pain.
"What a coincidence! My name is Lu Heng. I travel around the world with my rather sophisticated medical skills. I guess our meeting today is fate. If you trust me, I can help my brother check on him."
Faced with Lu Heng's sincere invitation, Xu Xingchen was really troubled. Their illness was unfounded!
"This... I'll have to trouble Doctor Lu!" Xu Xingchen agreed through gritted teeth. "He's had this problem since he was a child. My family has consulted many doctors, but none of them could find the cause. If Doctor Lu can cure him, my family will definitely give him a generous gift in gratitude!"
Now it seems that we can only try our best to save the situation!
"I don't dare to be called a miracle doctor. Let me take a look first."
Lu Heng took off the backpack on his back, took out the things on it one by one, then took out a blanket from it and spread it on the ground.
Among the things that were taken out, Xu Xingchen saw the familiar box at a glance.
Jun Haoyue also saw it, and he and Xu Xingchen looked at each other, and they both had the same idea in their minds.
"Lie down."
Jun Haoyue rolled up his trouser legs as Lu Heng instructed and lay down on the blanket obediently.
Lu Heng randomly pressed a few spots on Jun Haoyue's legs with his hands, and his expression changed from calm to puzzled.
"Hiss, are you in pain now?"
"It hurts." Jun Haoyue lied without changing his expression.
Xu Xingchen was so nervous when he saw this. "What's wrong, Doctor Lu? Can you still treat him?"
Lu Heng patted the dust off the corner of his clothes and stood up. He pulled Xu Xingchen aside and said in a serious tone, "Tell me, is this disease something he has had since his mother's womb?"
Xu Xingchen was confused by the question and nodded randomly, "Indeed, I was born with it."
"That's right. I just placed some acupuncture points, and the airflow is normal no matter how you look at it. Only a congenital disease can't be seen. It's only natural that those doctors can't see it."
"Oh, I see!" Xu Xingchen pretended to be on the verge of tears again, "My brother has such a miserable life!"
Lu Heng didn't say anything to comfort her, but just sighed slightly.
When he turned around to pack his things, he found Jun Haoyue playing with the box he had taken out of the bag, and hurriedly called out to stop him.
"Hey, don't touch it!"
Hearing this, Jun Haoyue looked at Lu Heng with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Doctor, where did you get this thing?"
"I found it on the road."
Lu Heng didn't seem to care much, but Jun Haoyue noticed that his eyes were fixed on the box.
"Sister, this thing looks like the one we dropped yesterday."
Xu Xingchen also came, and Jun Haoyue handed the box to her. After a careful observation, Xu Xingchen's eyes widened slightly.
"Indeed, the details are exactly the same."
Seeing this, Lu Heng suddenly reached out and snatched the thing back, with the same vigilance as before in his eyes.
"You have the right to say something is black even if it's white. How can I know if this thing is yours?"
"Besides, isn't it true that whoever sees the found item owns it?"
Xu Xingchen frowned and immediately retorted, "Divine Doctor, you can't be unreasonable. If everything goes as you said, then other people's lost things will never be recovered."
Unexpectedly, after leaving a real rogue Jin Wangshan, he met another rogue Lu Heng.
What good luck!
"Then tell me, what's in it?" Lu Heng didn't fall for it and asked back.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Xingchen became troubled again. There was no gap in the box and it could not be opened. Even if there were gold, silver or jewelry inside, they would not know!
Xu Xingchen silently turned his gaze to Jun Haoyue for help, and the other party also looked helpless.
