Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Well, okay! Let's go back first."

The two hurried back, the sun had already set, and there was no sun at all. When they walked out of Grandpa Nan's house, they could still see a little red glow.

When we got home, Grandma, Aunt Liu, and Yu Miaomiao were already waiting for Yu Congcong to eat.

"Sister, if you don't come back, Miaomiao will be starving." Yu Miaomiao pressed her belly with both hands to show Yu Congcong.

"Well, it does look alike, but it looks better this way. Normally it looks like a watermelon." Yu Congcong joked.

"Hmph, sister, what you said is nonsense. I don't look like a watermelon!" Yu Miaomiao didn't care about what others said about his belly. This kid likes to eat and is greedy. Every time Yu Congcong makes cakes, he won't let go until he is full. So, the little man has a watermelon belly, and the child should have a frog belly. The two siblings went back to the kitchen to eat while playing.

"Congcong, your father will be back tomorrow. Should you change your job? Your father wants you to work as a cashier in the logistics department of the armed forces." Grandma mentioned the matter of changing jobs again. Grandma always felt that the place where Yu Congcong worked in the town was too small and would delay her.

Widow Wang’s house, “Tingting, what’s wrong with you? Are you worried that your aunt is also among those female corpses?” Yuan Zhe saw that Su Ting was absent-minded and had no appetite for food.

"Yeah." Su Ting said softly, feeling somewhat helpless and unwilling to believe. He felt complicated and uneasy.

"No, it's possible that we are looking in the wrong direction. Didn't your father say that your aunt is very smart and she won't let herself die so easily?" Yuan Zhe comforted.

"Yuan Zhe, you don't have to comfort me. In that environment, what's the use of being smart? She has no skills. Even if she has skills, what can she do? Can she block bullets?" Su Ting vented his frustration helplessly.

Yuan Zhe put down his bowl and chopsticks, pulled Su Ting up and held him in his arms to comfort her. "No, even if she dies, she will let herself die happily. People in your family are not all like this. It's not in their genes to die that way." Yuan Zhe tried to comfort her with words close to the facts, otherwise it would cause Su Ting to be more emotional.

"I'm fine. I'm not that weak. I want to be like my mother." Su Ting wiped away his tears and pretended to be strong while continuing to eat.

Su Ting's mother has never been able to get over the death of her father. Su Ting loves her but also hates her. She hates that she disregarded the life and death of her children for love, and ignored her and her brother's pleadings, and finally followed her father. She and her brother were left to live with their grandfather, who only cared about her studies and relied on the nanny for life.

Yu Congcong and Tiezhu set out to the cave again, this time bringing with them the treasures Yu Congcong had found. Yu Congcong took the tools and flashlight to light the way, while Tiezhu followed behind carrying the box.

This time there was no fighting. The two of them were quiet and kept an eye on the surroundings. Tiezhu first put the wooden box into Grandpa Nan's room, and then went to the cave with Yu Congcong.

Entering the dark cave, Yu Congcong held the hoe tightly and tapped the ground carefully. She was very nervous, fearing that a snake would suddenly appear. They slowly came to the abnormal place they had found before, and Tiezhu started digging inside without saying a word.

He put all his strength into digging the wall with his hoe, sweat dripping down his forehead and into the soil. Time passed by, but Tiezhu never gave up and continued digging.

Finally, with his efforts, he was pleasantly surprised to find a secret compartment that was hidden very deeply.

He carefully opened the secret compartment and found a box inside. He didn't know what the box was made of. It was neither gold nor jade, but pitch black and without a lock. Tiezhu used a branch to poke it, but found nothing unusual. He gently opened the lid with the branch. Tiezhu and Yu Congcong looked at each other. Neither of them expected it to be so easy to open. There was a yellowed diary hidden in the box. Yu Congcong picked up the diary and flipped through it. There were some strange symbols and words recorded on it.

"What is this?" Tiezhu picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't recognize it.

Yu Congcong picked it up and looked at it. "Box, what is this?" Yu Congcong asked in his heart.

"Host, this should be a very ancient text. This diary should have been hidden for hundreds of years. The material of this box is very special, and the paper of this diary is also very special. It has not oxidized or changed color after such a long time."

"Well, it should be safe here."

"Host, I've already told you that this place is very safe, but you actually don't believe in this system."

"You yourself, whether you are reliable or not, you have no idea." Yu Congcong said to the system in his heart.

"Tiezhu, no one should come here. Go get the things and hide them in the place you thought they would be."

Tiezhu nodded and went out to move the boxes.

Yu Congcong took out the special box, put the diary in it, closed it and put it aside. She filled the hole with the soil she had dug out. Before she finished filling it, Tiezhu came back carrying the wooden box. Yu Congcong quickly put down her hoe and went to help.

"Slow down, slow down." Yu Congcong held the box, fearing that the iron pillar would be damaged.

"It's okay, I can hold it, don't get hurt." Tiezhu put the box down gently and easily.

The two of them worked together to put the box into the groove they had chosen, and it just fit in. Yu Congcong took some stones to block it.

"This way we won't be discovered." Yu Congcong said with satisfaction.

"Well, I can't tell."

Tiezhu walked back and forth, observing from different angles.

"I'll go and restore that place." Yu Congcong was going to finish the unfinished work.

"Let me do it. It will take you a long time to finish with your two tricks." Tiezhu joked.

Yu Congcong smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Tiezhu filled the soil back in no time. It was incomparable that Yu Congcong had been working for so long but saw no results.

The two walked out of the cave and turned off the flashlight. The moon was high in the sky, and they could see the road clearly without the flashlight.

"Let's go back quickly." Tiezhu took Yu Congcong's hand and they set out on the journey home together.
