DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 77
77 Digging for Treasures
After placing the things at home, Su Xiaoxiao brought a short shovel and quietly left!
She would know after digging!
Su Xiaoxiao came to the place where Father Su and Su Ergou had ambushed Wei Ting. There were no traces of the previous battle, and the tattered carriage had long been burned by the nearby villagers.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the snow on the ground and thought. If she was Wei Ting, where would she hide her wealth at a critical moment?
“The north and south ends are official roads. There’s a small forest in the east. After crossing a ditch in the west, there’s cropland. He can’t bury it in the cropland... If someone plows the land casually or digs up a few vegetables, the assets will be exposed.”
“The forest is about 30 steps away. Dahu and the others were in the carriage. He couldn’t have walked too far... ”
“The ditch!”
The ditch was blocked by water in winter, so it was the best place to hide things!
Of course, this was Su Xiaoxiao’s initial guess.
“It’s time to verify my guess!”
Su Xiaoxiao came to the side of the ditch and casually chose a spot. She rolled up her sleeves and started digging.
To be honest, Wei Ting’s bandage was a little ugly, but it was very thick. It did not hurt at all to grab the shovel!
Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby body squatted on the ground and dug!
As she dug, she would turn around from time to time to see if Wei Ting had caught up to her.
She looked like a sneaky little fat squirrel!
“No.”
She frowned. She continued to dig.
When she dug the third pit, she suddenly felt terrifying killing intent.
“Who’s there!”
A man’s fierce shout came from behind.
It was not Wei Ting’s voice.
She told herself to be steady and not to panic.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and calmly turned her head.
Eh?
Weren’t these the two men in black who had galloped on the official road just now?
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to remember and asked, “Who are you?”
The other party was also surprised.
Wasn’t this the little fat village girl just now?
Why was she here?
Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative and said seriously, “I’m asking you a question! You don’t look familiar. You don’t look like people from the nearby village! Who are you?”
The two of them exchanged glances.
The square-faced guard who had noticed Wei Ting just now sized up Su Xiaoxiao and said, “We were passing by. You’re a girl. Why are you squatting by the road in the snow?”
“Why do you care!” Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely.
Sometimes, the more confident a person was, the less suspicious they would be.
She got up and dusted the snow off her shovel, looking depressed. “I hate it! You scared away the prey! I’m not digging anymore!”
The square-faced guard asked suspiciously, “What prey is buried in the snow?”
Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and exploded. “I’m digging for an earthworm! I’m going to use it as bait to catch a pheasant in the forest! Why are you so noisy? You’ve already lost me a pheasant!”
The two of them were speechless.
Who was the louder one?
His companion whispered, “She looks like a nearby villager. Should we ask her?”
The square-faced man pondered for a moment and rejected, “Forget it, don’t alert the enemy.”
Su Xiaoxiao took the shovel and left.
The two of them had already dispelled their doubts about her, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Su Xiaoxiao’s purse leaked, and a shiny black token fell into the snow.
The scene fell silent!
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and picked up the token before stuffing it into her arms!
The two guards missed!
A murderous glint instantly appeared in their eyes!
The square-faced man said coldly, “Hand over that thing just now!”
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be confused. “What is it? I don’t understand!”
The square-faced man pulled out a sword from his waist and threatened, “Girl! Don’t be ungrateful! Hand it over, or I’ll kill you!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Burning, killing, and plundering in broad daylight. Do you have any respect for the law? I’m warning you, if I shout, the entire village can hear me!”
The square-faced man tapped her acupoint.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless!
The square-faced man said to his companion, “You do it.”
His companion said, “Why me?”
The two of them had just seen the little village girl stuff the thing into her arms. They were men, so it was not convenient for them to touch a woman’s chest.
“What happened?”
At this moment, a young man in a black cloak with a silver lining walked over with a cold expression.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look.
Jing Yi?
Jing Yi also saw Su Xiaoxiao and frowned.
The two black-clothed guards bowed respectfully to him. “Young Marquis!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s almond-shaped eyes widened.
The square-faced man reported, “Young Marquis, there’s a suspicious... ”
Before she could finish, Jing Yi raised his hand and undid Su Xiaoxiao’s acupoints.
Su Xiaoxiao finally could speak and move. She said in disbelief, “Jing Yi, are you a marquis?”
This time, it was the two guards who were dumbfounded.
Did the little village girl just call their young master by his name?!
Did the little master know her?!
Jing Yi frowned. Although he was unwilling to expose his identity, his subordinate had already done so. It was not good for him to lie and say that he was not.
“What’s going on?” he asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly complained, “The two of them robbed me!”
“No!”
“It was him!”
The square-faced man and his companion spoke at the same time.
The square-faced man looked at his companion with a dark expression. Are you so anxious to betray me?!
His companion coughed lightly. “I didn’t do it.”
The square-faced man came to Jing Yi’s side and whispered a few words.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t hear what he said, but she could guess that he was mentioning the token to Jing Yi.
Jing Yi raised his hand.
The square-faced man took three steps back.
Jing Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Miss Su, please take out what you just kept.”
Su Xiaoxiao reached out and took out a wife cake wrapped in oil paper. “Here, take it!”
The square-faced man said, “It was clearly not this!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “This is all I have!”
The square-faced man frowned. “Nonsense!”
Su Xiaoxiao straightened her back. “If you don’t believe me, come and search!”
Jing Yi had a complicated expression. “Miss Su, sorry.” contemporary romance
They were really searching!
After all, she was Young Master Xiang’s savior and had once helped with Jing Yi’s arm. However, all of this was nothing compared to a token.
What was that token?
“Jing Yi, I’m a woman!” Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly.
“Is Hong Luan here?” Jing Yi asked the two of them.
“Yes.” The square-faced man placed his index finger and thumb into his mouth and whistled at the sky.
Not long after, a woman in red walked over in the snow and leaped into the air. She knelt on one knee in front of Jing Yi and bowed. “Hong Luan greets the Young Marquis!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was that she was so cool.
Her next thought was that it was over. There was no way to hide from a body search.
If she could not hide the token, Wei Ting... would most likely be exposed!
“Miss Su, this way please!” Hong Luan brought Su Xiaoxiao into the small forest in the east.
