Capítulo 1968: Chapter 126: The Drunkard’s Hidden Stash
Lin Yuan tossed the wreath aside, took a few steps to Xia Zheng’s side, widened her eyes, and looked around: “What, what? What’s the good thing? Have you really discovered so extraordinary wine?”
After looking around for a long ti and discovering nothing good, Lin Yuan slightly wrinkled her nose and pouted, “Isn’t this just a pile of dirt? What good thing could there be!”
Xia Zheng, amused by her cute little deanor, couldn’t help but use his mud-stained hand to tap her wrinkled little nose, laughing, “Silly, would a good thing be placed on the surface? Of course, it’s underneath.”
Underneath?
Lin Yuan’s eyes rolled, not caring about her face being dirtied by Xia Zheng, she went straight to his side, bent down, and used her hand to tap the unremarkable piece of land.
Thud, thud, thud!
It was actually hollow!
“Inside here!”
“Shh!”
Xia Zheng quickly pointed to the position of Xia Hen’s room, signaling Lin Yuan to be quiet. Although Xia Hen’s martial arts were not particularly strong, his five senses were very sensitive because he practiced Qinggong.
Now that they had discovered the good thing, they were just a step away from success, and they couldn’t be caught by the rightful owner at this critical mont!
Lin Yuan also knew the importance of being discreet as a thief, quickly covered her mouth, and nodded repeatedly, her exposed eyebrows already curved with a cute smile.
Xia Zheng was also amused by her, and the two of them, who had caught fish and teased people together before, were actually stealing sothing for the first ti!
“I’ll dig it open, you stand by and watch, be careful not to get your hands dirty.”
Xia Zheng gestured for Lin Yuan to step back, then drew a sharp dagger from within his boot.
The dagger was quite plain, but it looked sowhat familiar.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but glance twice and suddenly realized that this was the dagger adorned with gemstones that belonged to her!
Indeed, this was the small dagger Xia Zheng had given to Lin Yuan.
The dagger originally ca in a pair. Since Lin Yuan liked jewelry, and Xia Zheng sincerely hoped she would never have to use it, he had specially set many gemstones on the dagger and gifted it to her.
Lin Yuan obediently squatted to the side, watching Xia Zheng dig the earth open one handful of dirt at a ti, full of anticipation.
Actually, this place wasn’t that hard to find because the surrounding soil was moist, but only here was slightly dry. It seed Xia Hen often ca to turn over the soil here.
“Could this wine have been stored for several decades? It’s buried so deep!”
Xia Zheng had been digging for quite a while and was panting, yet still hadn’t found a single useful thing. He complained in annoyance.
Lin Yuan shrugged, becoming even more curious about what was buried underneath.
Not only was the item buried deep, but in the middle, there were even several large stones deliberately placed, making Xia Zheng almost think he had found the wrong place again.
“Why don’t we co back another day? Wouldn’t Second Uncle have woken up by now?”
Perhaps feeling guilty like a thief, Lin Yuan was very uneasy, fearing to suddenly see the stealthy figure of Xia Hen standing right behind her with a turn of her head.
“No, no, we’ve already dug halfway, if we give up now, it will only alert him!”
Xia Zheng wiped off so sweat and continued digging with all his strength.
This ti, he didn’t have to put in much effort. After digging a dozen more tis, the dagger’s tip touched sothing hard, emitting a dull thud.
“Got it!”
Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng both exclaid in surprise!
Afraid that the sharp tip of the dagger would pierce the wine jug, Xia Zheng switched to digging by hand.
The dirt gradually peeled away, finally revealing the true face of the object.
“It’s actually a box?!”
A box?
Wasn’t it supposed to be a wine jug?
Looking at the box, about the size of her dressing box, Lin Yuan didn’t think it hid any extraordinary wine.
Xia Zheng also seed a bit surprised but not disappointed at all, in fact, he was even more excited.
“It’s not surprising for that guy to hide wine, but now that he’s hidden sothing else, I’m even more curious!”
Exactly! It’s not strange for a drunkard to hide wine, but for a drunkard to hide sothing else, that’s what’s odd!
Holding that small box, Xia Zheng gestured to Lin Yuan, and the two of them quietly sneaked to a shady open space nearby.
Their murmuring voices occasionally ca from behind the hidden shade of the tree, even attracting the cicadas that had been chirping on the branches, silencing them as well.
