Chapter 119 Character
"You just wait for me beside you. Don't go too far and don't get too close. Do you hear me?" Shen Xingzhou looked at Qin Feixue and said seriously.
He was afraid that when he went down to dig the well, the little girl would be restless and run around again.
"Okay." Qin Feixue agreed quickly.
At the same time, she manipulated the plant roots to grow and turn wildly underground. With a gentle push, a metal-rimmed box leaked out from the side of the bottom of the well.
Qin Feixue glanced at the bottom of the well inadvertently. Just as she was about to step back to let Shen Xingzhou dig the well, her eyes lit up when she looked at the bottom of the well.
After there was no one around, she quietly pulled Shen Xingzhou's clothes and whispered, "Brother!"
Shen Xingzhou bent down slightly following her gaze. In the faint sunlight, the metallic luster flashed in the darkness.
His pupils widened and he guessed what it was at a glance.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and tacitly kept silent.
"I'll go down and clean the well. You stand away." Shen Xingzhou said.
In this situation, it is impossible to pretend that he didn't see it. Although he wanted to bury this thing underground, that was only when he didn't see it.
That thing has already revealed its horns, and he is not a saint, so he can just pretend it doesn't exist at this time, and he can remain indifferent when seeing the treasure.
Besides, the place has been exposed. He must go in and bury the things again first. It would be a disaster if someone finds them!
Let’s bury this thing back at the bottom of the well today, and find a suitable opportunity to hide it somewhere else another day.
The dry well had been filled with mud because it had not been used for a long time. Even if it was dug deeper, it was only about three or four meters. Shen Xingzhou dug out the box in no time.
It was like digging out a rock that was blocking a water outlet, and as soon as it was removed, a pool of water suddenly flowed out.
Only then did he see clearly that there was a bottomless tunnel behind the box. The box should be buried in this tunnel, but Wang Guoan and his team deviated from the route when they were digging.
Groundwater was dug out on the other side, and there was continuous heavy rain, so the box was washed out this morning.
He wiped his sweat and dug the tunnel entrance a little bigger. He picked up the box and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy.
Finally, he stuffed the box into a deeper position and filled it tightly with soil to ensure that it could not be seen before he came out of the well.
Shen Xingzhou cleaned up and stayed in the yard with Qin Feixue for a few more hours until Teacher Feng and his students left in the evening. Only then did they set out to go home.
On the way, Shen Xingzhou saw that there was no one around and whispered to Shen Xingzhi, "We just found a box in the well in the yard. It was probably washed up by the groundwater. I buried it back in the afternoon when no one was around."
Shen Xingzhi nodded. He guessed that there must be a box. If there was nothing in the yard, the two of them would not have worked for an entire afternoon. His brother loved his wife so much that he would have taken her away to have some free time.
"We will definitely not send anyone to watch after this, otherwise the Xu family will become suspicious again." Shen Xingzhi said.
It would be strange if someone still lived there when the yard was dug up and in such a mess.
The Shen family is not a small family, and there is not a single extra room in the old house.
But if I don't check it out, I'm afraid the Xu family will make a surprise attack, especially Xu Qi, who is particularly difficult to deal with. I wonder if they will send people to dig them out at night when no one is around.
The most important thing is those people who refuse to give up. Although the official has announced that there is nothing in this yard, there will definitely be people who refuse to give up and want to continue digging.
"Let them dig. Outsiders will just take what they dig away and won't bring it to light. So it doesn't matter." Shen Xingzhou sighed.
Shen Xingzhi also nodded in agreement. No matter how important money and property are, they are not as important as family.
The two stopped talking about the box and started talking about other things.
Qin Feixue looked at the two of them with some admiration, especially Shen Xingzhou.
The old lady was of noble birth, so it was obvious that the things in the box were definitely not simple. If he hadn't seen the real thing, it would have been fine. But he had already touched the box! He could still be indifferent.
This kind of mentality is definitely not possessed by ordinary people.
Feeling Qin Feixue's gaze, Shen Xingzhou lowered his head and met a pair of wet eyes full of admiration. He suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Shen Xingzhi also looked at Qin Feixue, his eyes shining.
Shen Xingzhou can treat money as dirt because the Shen family has spent all their time, energy and money to cultivate him since he was a child.
And this little girl? An orphan.
He heard that she was adopted eighteen years ago, but was cruelly abandoned. He heard from Shen Tinglan that she misunderstood Qin Feixue because she got the information from Qin Feixue's adoptive parents.
The two men described her as an unforgivable crime and had no choice but to believe it.
He would never believe that adoptive parents with such character could raise such a well-educated person, which means that this is the nature of this little girl.
He really has a keen eye, he was able to see her goodness at the first sight. Shen Xingzhi praised his brother in his heart.
Qin Feixue looked at the expressions of the two men and hid behind Shen Xingzhou embarrassedly. They were really flattering her. She couldn't treat money as dirt.
Her mind was full of money. She was always thinking about how to make money, and she became the most discerning wealthy woman admired by everyone in later generations.
As for her open-minded look, it was only because she knew that it was impossible for others to succeed. Otherwise, they would definitely find ways to stay in the yard.
At night, the courtyard was indeed not peaceful.
Wave after wave of people climbed over from the bottom of the wall. The first two waves almost started a fight, but after the third and fourth waves arrived, they quieted down.
Everyone reached a consensus and started looking for their own spot. Everyone chose the spot they liked to dig in, without interfering with each other. When someone dug it out... they could decide whether to snatch it or not.
The roots of the plants buried underground by Qin Feixue conveyed messages to her, but she ignored them.
In the afternoon, she found two more boxes in the yard, plus the ones in the garden, the corner and the well, a total of five.
She was not worried at all about being dug up. These things had been moved to other people's yards as soon as she left the yard. Even if they dug through the Shen family's yard, they would not find a single penny!
Qin Feixue closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, but Shen Xingzhou beside her kept touching her, kissing her here and there. She could only feed him first, otherwise she would not be able to sleep tonight.
Even acting coquettishly was useless, it only made him more excited, and he would not let her sleep until she was really tired.
On the other side, after Xiao Xu returned to the Xu family to report, he told Xu Qi about the doubts he had when he saw Qin Feixue in the afternoon.
"Sir, could she be the lost daughter of the Song family? Not only her appearance but her age also matches." He observed Xu Qi's facial expression out of the corner of his eye.
If this is true, then the hatred with the Shen family will be huge.
Xu Qi still had a blank expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking: "Didn't Bai Jing find someone who could cure Shen Jianguo? He should be on his way now. Let's ask Dean Xu to go over and take a look then."
"Then what happened to the Song family...do we need to intervene?"
"Put it aside for now." Xu Qi was silent for a moment, looked out the window and continued, "How is the other matter arranged?"
Xiao Xu said respectfully: "I have arranged for someone to take care of it. Qin Feixue's adoptive parents will definitely come to visit us in a week at most."
"Ah."
