Zhang Weifang hid in the bushes nearby, quietly observing Huo Nanting's every move.
She was filled with doubts: What exactly was inside this wooden box? Why did Huo Nanting dig a hole under this tree? Was there some secret hidden here?
As time went by, Huo Nanting had dug a fairly shallow pit. He carefully placed the wooden box in it and then buried it with soil.
After doing all this, Huo Nanting stood up, patted the dirt off his hands, took a last deep look at the big tree, and then turned and left.
Watching Huo Nanting's receding figure, Zhang Weifang fell into deep thought. She decided to wait until Huo Nanting left before going to check on the buried wooden box...
Zhang Weifang came under the big tree, her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Zhang Weifang didn't dare to stay any longer, but went straight into the folding space.
What she didn't realize was that as soon as she hid, Huo Nanting returned to the big tree. He took out the wooden box that had just been buried, and buried it again after a while.
Huo Nanting seemed a little worried. He wandered under the big tree for a long time before leaving.
Zhang Weifang was also a timid person. She was afraid that Huo Nanting would come back again, so she immediately dug out the box. She opened the wooden box, put everything inside into the space, and then buried the box again before leaving.
Afraid of being discovered, Zhang Weifang took another route and hid here and there before finally reaching the village entrance.
After leaving the village, Zhang Weifang rode her bicycle at full speed. She didn't dare to turn her head to look back, for fear that someone was chasing her.
Huo Nanting was also a cautious person. That night, he ran back and forth five or six times. Only after he confirmed that the wooden box was still there did he completely feel relieved.
An hour later, Zhang Weifang returned home. When she saw the familiar big iron gate, she felt relieved. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and walked in quietly.
The first thing Zhang Weifang did after returning home was to take a shower. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed to calm herself down.
The thrilling scene that night frightened her quite a bit. Perhaps because she is older, Zhang Weifang is now more steady in doing things and not as impulsive as before.
Lu Shi had already fallen asleep. In recent days, he worked during the day and followed Zhang Weifang to track the Huo family at night. He was very tired, so Zhang Weifang refused to let him help no matter what.
Zhang Weifang also advised Lu Shi to rest for two days before continuing to track. Lu Shi listened to her and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Originally, he thought that the Huo family would take action in a few days, but who knew that Huo Nanting took action just one day after he went there.
Lu Shi didn't know that Zhang Weifang had secretly run away, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sleep.
Zhang Weifang didn't look at those things. She was very tired, so she fell asleep quickly.
Lu Shi was sleeping in the middle of the night when he felt a foot reaching out to him. He clamped the foot there familiarly and continued to sleep. He had no idea that his wife had gone out for a walk.
The next day, as soon as Zhang Weifang woke up, she anxiously looked at the things in the space. She took out all the things wrapped in cotton cloth and checked them one by one.
There were two emerald green bracelets inside, which were obviously made of high-quality jadeite, but she didn't know what kind they were.
There were also some gold rings, gold hairpins and the like, but she was not interested in any of these. She still liked the pair of bracelets the most.
Zhang Weifang called Lu Shi and asked him to identify what breed it was.
As soon as Lu Shi opened his eyes, he saw the bracelet on Zhang Weifang's wrist. His eyes widened:
"Where did you get it? Did you buy it?"
Zhang Weifang looked at him with a smile:
"How is that possible? I found it yesterday."
Next, Zhang Weifang narrated the whole process of how she picked up the item. She spoke excitedly, but Lu Shi's face became darker and darker.
Finally, Lu Shi couldn't help but shout:
"Zhang Weifang!"
"Ah?" Zhang Weifang's interest was suddenly interrupted, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Then, like a strict parent, Lu Shi began a long and in-depth journey of criticism and education. His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Weifang's heart.
He first pointed out Zhang Weifang's mistakes and shortcomings, and mercilessly analyzed the root causes of the problems and possible consequences.
Then, he elaborated in detail on the correct practices and principles that should be followed, so that the other party could understand what the true path was.
During this process, Lu Shi's tone was sometimes stern and sometimes gentle. He used various examples and stories to illustrate his point so that the other party could better understand.
His gaze was always firm and sharp, as if he could penetrate Zhang Weifang's heart and see her truest thoughts.
After more than ten minutes of criticism and education, Zhang Weifang deeply realized her mistakes and immediately began to admit them:
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I will never go out alone again."
Lu Shi emphasized sternly:
"It's good to know. It's better to be cautious than to put yourself in danger at any time."
After educating Zhang Weifang, Lu Shicai carefully observed the pair of bracelets. They were made of Zhengyang Green material with excellent water content.
Zhang Weifang didn't understand, so he asked:
“Is this imperial green?”
"No, it's not that high-end. It's Zhengyang Green, which is also very good."
Zhang Weifang looked at it again and again and couldn't let it go. She really wanted to wear it, but she also knew that now was not a good time.
She planned to melt the gold and make some new jewelry later. This pair of bracelets was her favorite, so she kept it separately.
At this time, Lu Shi asked again:
"That wooden box is probably the most valuable thing. Why didn't you take it?"
Zhang Weifang also thought of this possibility, but she still didn't take the box:
"I was so nervous at the time that I couldn't think about anything else. Besides, with the box there, Huo Nanting wouldn't notice anything was missing."
Zhang Weifang is not greedy. She never thinks something is too little when she gets it for free, and she really likes the pair of bracelets.
After resolving this matter, Zhang Weifang's mood improved, and his expression when looking at An An was no longer so cold.
An An was shocked when he saw his mother's smiling face early in the morning. He ran to find Lu Shi:
"Dad, is my mom happy today?"
"Um."
"Dad, I haven't made any mistakes recently, so I shouldn't be beaten, right?"
"Go away, I think you're itching for trouble, right?"
As An An rolled around, he patted his chest and thought to himself:
"That's right. How could my parents be gentle? They haven't been in a good mood in the past few days. I must have seen it wrong."
