Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Before Yu Congcong finished cleaning, grandma came back. "Miaomiao, where's your sister?" Xiaocao saw her grandson playing with a wooden toy and couldn't see Yu Congcong, so she asked.

Yu Congcong heard it and replied, "Grandma, I'm in the house."

"What are you doing in the house? Have you come back for dinner?" Xiaocao asked.

"not yet."

"You're back, but you don't even go to the kitchen to find food. Come out and eat. We'll deal with things after dinner." Xiaocao never cared about what inventions Yu Congcong made. When she was alone, no one would disturb her. Over time, it became a habit.

"Okay, grandma, have you eaten first? If not, you can eat first. I'm almost done. I'll come out to eat when I'm done." Yu Congcong's hands did not stop moving, and she was concentrating on cleaning the chessboard.

"We've already eaten. I'll go prepare some food for Miaomiao first. You can go eat by yourself later!" Xiaocao responded.

"Okay." While cleaning, Yu Congcong asked the system where these things should be hidden.

Host, it is hidden in the mountain where Grandpa Nan used to live. There is a relatively hidden natural cave in the northwest of the mountain. Your Grandpa Nan has been there for so many years without being discovered because of the natural illusion formed by nature. I think it is safest to hide there. "The system analyzed and said.

"Well, let's go check it out when Tiezhu comes back." Yu Congcong replied.

"Host, it's better to do it as soon as possible. Go tonight!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Congcong looked puzzled.

"Well, I feel the magnetic field is changing." The system couldn't tell the specific reason, but it just felt that the magnetic field was changing.

"Well, I understand." Yu Congcong quickened her pace, quickly cleaned it, and found the coarse cloth jewelry woven by her grandmother. She carefully wrapped each piece of Xiaocha's jewelry, and then found a box of the right size to put them in one by one. Then, she put the items in her big wooden box one by one. The big wooden box barely held everything.

After finishing, she walked out of the kitchen to eat dinner. Grandma had already coaxed Yu Miaomiao to sleep. She also went to do other things. Yu Congcong hurriedly ate a late lunch.

The harvest will begin tomorrow, and if Tiezhu has nothing serious to do, he should be back. If they have nothing serious to do, they will have a holiday during the busy farming season, so they should be off this afternoon. Yu Congcong walked towards Tiezhu's house, and Tiezhu had indeed returned.

"Tiezhu, I have something to talk to you about." Yu Congcong said as soon as she saw Tiezhu.

"Well, I'll wash first. What do you need?" Tiezhu asked.

Yu Congcong leaned close to Tiezhu's ear and whispered, "I found some treasures at the scrap yard today and want to hide them. Come with me to the mountain where Grandpa Nan used to live and find a secluded place to hide them." The breath of Yu Congcong as she spoke lightly swept over Tiezhu's ears, and Tiezhu couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Okay." Tiezhu answered and touched Yucongcong's head.

Tiezhu went back to his room to get a backpack and a hatchet, and then took Yu Congcong to the place where Nanyi used to live. This path is more hidden than before, and Tiezhu and Yu Congcong occasionally come to take a look. Since Nanyi left, there has been no news, and Dad said that no news is good news.

Tiezhu and Yu Congcong carefully avoided others along the way and finally arrived at their destination. Yu Congcong followed the system's instructions and headed northwest. It was extremely humid here, and the ground seemed to be soaked with water vapor.

"Box, is such a humid place really suitable for storing things?" Yu Congcong asked himself as he looked at the wet ground.

"Host, don't worry, the hole extends upwards. It's not damp inside, but very dry."

"Congcong, be careful, let me hold your hand." Tiezhu was worried about Yu Congcong, so he held her hand tightly. Yu Congcong smiled sweetly at Tiezhu, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and intoxicating. Tiezhu looked at Yu Congcong's smiling face, unable to resist this charming temptation, and lowered his head to peck Yu Congcong gently on the cheek. Yu Congcong was stunned. This was the first time Tiezhu kissed her cheek. He always kissed her forehead before. Yu Congcong's cheeks flushed instantly, and she was a little shy. Tiezhu was amused by Yu Congcong's red face and laughed. "You're still laughing. What's so funny about me? You have no shame!" Yu Congcong was embarrassed and angry.

"Haha, I'm not laughing. My Cong Cong is so cute." Tiezhu coaxed in a low voice.

"Who is yours? You really know how to flatter yourself." Yu Congcong said with a smile.

The two of them walked to the cave entrance while playing and joking. Yu Congcong turned on the flashlight and shone it inside. The cave was a little damp and the ground was uneven.

"It seems that no one has been here for a long time." Tiezhu said as he looked around.

Yu Congcong walked into the cave carefully and tested the ground with his feet. "It feels good. I should be able to hide the things here."

Tiezhu nodded and followed Yu Congcong into the depths of the cave. They found some depressions on the cave wall that seemed to be used to place items.

"Just put it here." Yu Congcong pointed to one of the depressions.

"Well, that's great. Can it fit? How big is your box?" Tiezhu asked after taking a look.

"It's square and about as high as my thigh." Yu Congcong thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, we'll deliver it over in the evening." Tiezhu said.

"Then let's go back first!" Yu Congcong said happily.

The two continued to walk around the cave to see if there were any other abnormalities. At a corner, Yu Congcong felt something was wrong and called Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu, look here, it looks like it has been dug." Yu Congcong pointed to the flat area on the wall.

"Yes, but it doesn't look newly dug, it must be quite old." Tiezhu looked at it and said. Tiezhu poked the ground with a knife and knocked on the wall of the cave.

"Dongdong...Dong." The iron pillar hit the cave wall.

"Congcong, it looks like this place is empty." Tiezhu said, pointing at a wall of the cave.

"Oh, let me listen." Yu Congcong ran over and listened against the wall of the cave.

"Well, the sound here is different. It's lighter and crisper, not so deep." Yu Congcong said.

Yu Congcong was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to hide the things here. It would be fine if no one came, but what if someone came and the things were discovered? It would be fine if the things were lost, but it would be troublesome if it implicated the family. Yu Congcong scratched his head, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"Congcong, it's okay. This has been gone for many years. It's getting late now, so let's go back first. I'll bring tools here in the evening and see what's here before making a decision." After thinking for a while, he said, "We'll take the things you found today in the evening too. Let's put them in Grandpa Nan's house first and come back when we're sure there's no danger here."
