Chapter 533 Shameless
Chapter 533 Shameless
"I didn't expect that they were birds of a feather, working together in cahoots! Pah! They are simply two shameless criminals out to kill for money!"
His eyes were fixed on the mysterious box. "The box must contain the money they obtained through illegal means."
"In that case, why don't I do justice for the heavens and give these ill-gotten gains to those poor people who really need help."
But on second thought, he felt a little unwilling, his eyes rolled around, and he muttered to himself: "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I am also a poor person. Instead of letting others get the advantage, I might as well let myself... hehe~"
"Well...it's decided. I'll just spend the money for them for now. I don't think it's too much."
It was the time when everyone was having dinner and there was no one around. It was a godsend opportunity!
He was secretly delighted and walked lightly to the pile of straw.
I saw him waving his hands as quickly as the wind, and in just a few seconds he pulled away the straw covering the top.
A tattered box suddenly appeared in front of him. He stretched out his arms carefully and picked it up steadily.
However, when the box actually fell into his arms, he realized that it was quite large and it would be too conspicuous to bring it back so blatantly.
After a little thought, he decided to find a secret place to hide it first, and then find a chance to retrieve it quietly after some time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel proud of his perfect plan. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously and he almost laughed out loud.
Good days seemed just around the corner, and he felt filled with endless energy.
This thing must be hidden around here. You can't carry it too far away, otherwise it will be discovered.
He was worried and looked around. As he looked around, he finally found a path that few people had ever walked on. The grass was lush and green around here, so if he buried the box here, it would not be easily discovered.
Thinking of this, he immediately decided to dig a hole on the spot and bury it.
However, we have to act quickly. If we don't, I'm afraid that group of people will come back soon after dinner.
Fortunately, he had brought tools with him when he was working, so digging the soil was a piece of cake for him.
I saw him wielding the tools skillfully, and soon he successfully dug a pit of suitable size.
Then place the box in it and cover it with soil.
Finally, he transplanted a piece of green grass from not far away to cover the soil layer that had just been filled.
Just when he had accomplished his task and was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly heard a noisy crowd of voices.
He was startled and hurriedly quickened his pace and left, trying to keep as much distance as possible from the burial place.
After standing still, he looked back and gazed at the "masterpiece" he had carefully crafted, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.
No one would have expected that beneath this seemingly ordinary land, there was a box full of "money" hidden.
"Old Zhu, why aren't you going to eat? Aren't you hungry?" A loud voice sounded in his ears. Old Zhu, who was admiring a masterpiece, was stunned at first, and then he realized that the words were spoken to him.
He raised his head, covered up his panic with a smile, and replied, "Ah, I'll go right away."
Indeed, after working for so long, Lao Zhu was already starving.
Its stomach was rumbling, as if protesting its owner's neglect.
He just lifted his feet and strode over there, muttering to himself: "I must have a good meal, today is a good day."
"Why does Lao Zhu look weird today?" another person's voice came.
"Yeah, he usually runs faster than a rabbit when eating. He is in line ahead of us. Why is he so slow today? It's really abnormal." Someone else echoed.
However, at this time, Lao Zhu had no time to care about what others said. His mind was filled with beautiful visions.
When he thought of the money he had just received, plus the subsidies promised by the government, his heart was as excited as if there was a lively little rabbit in his heart.
"It's just that I was pressed for time just now and didn't see how much money was in it. But those two doctors have handled a lot of people, so there must be a lot of money."
"With this money, we can build a big, spacious, bright house that's warm in winter and cool in summer! It will be great for the whole family to live together. The remaining money may be enough to send my son to school, so that he can make a name for himself in the future..."
The more Zhu thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and before he knew it, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
Just when he was about to laugh out loud, he suddenly came to his senses as if he realized something.
He quickly pursed his lips, which twitched uncontrollably a few times, and he forced back the laughter that was about to come out. It is better to keep a low profile on this matter to avoid wasting time.
There was nothing important, so after Ni'er and Zhao Jincheng finished dinner together, Zhao Jincheng sent Ni'er back, giving her a good opportunity to take a few more steps to help digest the food.
Nier glanced at the place where the urn was previously placed.
However, Lao Zhu stuffed some straw there. At first glance, this place seems to be no different from before, but if you look carefully, you can notice some subtle differences.
Ni'er thought that no one would touch the urn, so she didn't pay too much attention to the changes in details.
As for Zhao Jincheng, he did hear some gossip about Ni'er.
But looking at the lovely little disciple in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: Is she completely unaware of those rumors?
Or did she already know it, but just didn't take it to heart?
This made Zhao Jincheng unable to understand Ni'er's true thoughts for a moment.
"Have you...heard some rumors?"
At this moment, Ni'er was sitting there very comfortably, with her two slender white hands supporting her back, her head slightly tilted back, and her eyes leisurely looking at the clouds drifting quietly in the sky.
She smiled and said softly, "I already knew it. My ears are very sensitive."
Perhaps it was because she had just eaten too much and was too full, Nier now had difficulty even bending over, so keeping her head tilted back made her feel more comfortable.
After saying that, she burped loudly and casually.
Zhao Jincheng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
He looked at Ni'er in front of him, who was like a comfortable and lazy kitten. Her lazy and soft appearance was so adorable.
What made him feel relieved was that even in the face of those rumors, Nier seemed to be unaffected by them and was still able to maintain such a relaxed and happy mood.
