Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1261 Two Boxes
The soil that had just been dug seemed particularly soft. Zhang Yu waved the shovel in his hand and dug a large pit more than 1 meter deep effortlessly.

Just as he was about to continue digging, a dull collision sound suddenly came from where the shovel touched the ground.

This discovery made a glimmer of surprise in his eyes. He immediately adjusted his strategy, slowing down the force of digging and instead using gentle techniques to slowly clean the surrounding soil.

As the layers of coverings peeled off, a wooden box covered with traces of time gradually revealed its true appearance, lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.

Just as he was about to open the wooden box, Dahei suddenly pricked up his ears and his body tensed up.

The next second, a pheasant jumped out from the grass not far away, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a pheasant!

However, thinking that there were often children and women coming to this hill to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, although this place was a little secluded, there was no guarantee that no one would pass by here, Zhang Yu directly put the box into the space.

Then he took the shovel and dug in the pit a few more times, and found another wooden box.

After placing the second wooden box into the space, he used the shovel to dig a few times in the pit. After making sure that nothing had escaped, he filled the pit with the soil he had dug out.

In order to avoid being discovered, he deliberately imitated what he had done just now and sprinkled a layer of fallen leaves and weeds on the top.

Just as he was carefully cleaning up the traces of his presence, his ears suddenly caught a sound of untimely footsteps, which seemed particularly abrupt in this deserted place.

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he took Dahei and escaped into space without hesitation.

Through the space, he clearly saw a man sneaking towards him from another path.

Looking at the other person's face, Zhang Yu inexplicably felt that it looked familiar.

He reached out and stroked Dahei, trying to recall where he had seen this face before.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu slapped his thigh hard.

He remembered, he finally remembered why he felt that this face looked familiar.

This face is about four or five times similar to Feng Laoer whom I saw yesterday.

It's just that one is young and the other is a little old.

He is quite similar to Feng Lao Er, but about the same age. Without thinking too much, Zhang Yu already had the answer in his mind - Feng Lao Da!

But why would the other party appear here at this time, carrying a hoe?
Could it be?

Is the other party also here to dig up "things"?

Seeing the other party stop, he picked up the hoe and started digging.

Zhang Yu felt a little toothache. If he was not mistaken, the place the other party was digging now was the same place where he had just dug out two wooden boxes.

If he had come a step later, he would probably have missed out on the two boxes.

After all the trouble, he would be really sick if someone intercepted him.

Zhang Yu just watched quietly as Boss Feng dug up the big hole he had just covered.

Outside the space, Boss Feng was digging while muttering, "Why isn't there any yet? What Boss Two said should be here."

The deeper they dug, the worse Boss Feng's expression became.

"Could it be that the second son is lying to me? That's not right. They say that the truth comes out when one is drunk. The second son is so drunk by me that there is no way he can lie. Last night, when my eldest daughter was washing clothes for the second son, she saw him hide the gold under his pillow with her own eyes..."

"Or maybe someone got there first..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu almost laughed out loud.

But looking at Boss Feng's increasingly ferocious face, he suddenly remembered what his second uncle had warned him last night.

No wonder the Feng family is said to be not simple. As expected, one cannot judge a person by his appearance. He originally thought that the simple and honest Boss Feng also had his own calculations.

"Impossible, the things are definitely not lost, Lao Er must be lying to me."

At this point, a trace of guilt flashed across Boss Feng's face. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he continued to mutter, "Could it be that Boss No. 2 knew what I was up to, so he was pretending to be drunk last night?"

Boss Feng carefully recalled the scene of last night, confirmed that there was nothing different, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, she probably didn't find out. With the second brother's temper, if he had found out, he would have made a scene a long time ago. She doesn't have that kind of mind..."

"Where on earth did the baby go? Baby, mine, all mine. Why can the second child live a good life without working, and why can I work so hard but still not get a good look from my parents? Why?
The baby must be mine, it will definitely be mine!"

Boss Feng dug up the entire bush like crazy, but in the end he didn't find what he wanted, so he could only leave in anger.

However, from the fierce light that occasionally flashed in his eyes, Zhang Yu could be sure that the Feng family would never be at peace.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Yu.

When Dahei entered the space, he was stunned at first, and the whole dog became alert.

After being stroked a few times by Zhang Yu and pointing to the space and telling it that it was safe, the whole dog became active.

At this moment, it is chasing rabbits on the hill.

Zhang Yu took a look and didn't do anything about it.

He turned his head and focused his attention on the two wooden boxes.

Time was tight just now and he hadn't had time to see what was in the wooden box.

However, from what Boss Feng said, the box should contain gold, silver or something like that.

There is a lock hanging on the wooden box, but this is not a difficult task for Zhang Yu. A lock of this size is purely for preventing gentlemen but not villains.

He simply took a small hammer and smashed the lock open with one blow.

The moment he opened it, the bright yellow little goldfish inside almost blinded Zhang Yu’s eyes.

To be honest, he had a lot of gold.

But when I saw a whole box full of little goldfish, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Sure enough, the older I get, the less I like those fancy things.

Gold is a luxury item in the eyes of Chinese people.

Zhang Yu opened another wooden box, which was also full of small goldfish.

However, compared to the first box, this box has one less layer of goldfish.

Thinking about what was in Feng Laoer's pocket last night, Zhang Yu felt that the two boxes should have been full, but the few goldfish in this box should have been taken away by Feng Laoer.

Zhang Yu took out a small goldfish from the box and while playing with it he was thinking about what to do with the two boxes of goldfish.

It is absolutely impossible to ask him to return it.

Besides, even if I were to return it, I couldn't possibly return it to the Feng family.
It’s obvious that given the Feng family’s appearance, these two boxes of things definitely don’t belong to them.

I guess Feng Laoer got it through some unknown means, and the origin of it is probably not very shady.

This isn't considered stealing, at most it's just robbing one's thieves.

In short, once the things are in his hands, it is impossible to return them.

Suddenly he stopped playing with the little goldfish.
