Chapter 229 Here we come
The steps paused, and while the light was dim, Zhou Huaishan quickly wiped the tears from his face.
Shen Li's body was slightly sideways, standing between Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing glanced at Shen Li suspiciously.
She was sure that her father had just cried and was wiping his tears now.
But what does Shen Li mean by blocking her now?
Shen Li knew that her father was crying and didn't want her to find out?
Or was it just a coincidence?
The three of them had their own thoughts. Zhou Huaishan wiped away his tears, calmed his breath, put his hands on his hips and smiled: "This is it!"
I just cried and my nasal voice is still a bit strong.
He glanced at Zhou Qing from the corner of his eye.
Zhou Qing seemed to have noticed nothing, staring at the big dark tree hole in front of him with a strange expression, "Dad, did you remember correctly? Can there be treasures in this place?"
Seeing that there was nothing strange about Zhou Qing, Zhou Huaishan felt relieved.
"Of course not. I am the God of Wealth. How could I remember it wrong?"
With that said, Zhou Huaishan threw the small shovel in his hand to Shen Li and pointed at the dead tree that was charred and blackened by thunder and fire, "It's half a step away from this tree. Let's dig."
Shen Li didn't ask too many questions, just started digging with a shovel without saying a word.
Zhou Qing craned his neck and looked into the hole dug by Shen Li.
"Dad, didn't you say it was in a tree hole? Why did you dig another hole?"
"What's the hurry? Dig a hole first and then dig it out."
Zhou Huaishan looked at the shovel in Shen Li's hand and felt a little uneasy. It had been twenty years, so the contents inside wouldn't have been poached by others.
Just when I was worried, I suddenly heard a clang.
It was the sound of metal colliding.
Zhou Huaishan suddenly burst into laughter, "Yes, yes, the God of Wealth did not lie to me."
Putting aside his robe, Zhou Huaishan squatted beside the pit and directed Shen Li, "dig carefully, don't break it."
After digging about a dozen more times with the shovel, Shen Li peeled a small box out of the soil.
The small box is made of wood, but the four corners are made of gold leather and the edges are covered.
The sound of metal colliding just now should be the shovel hitting the gold skin.
Half-kneeling by the pit, Shen Li supported the ground with one hand and carried the box with the other.
He raised it but didn't move it. He couldn't help but look up at Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan said cheerfully: "Of course this box of gold and silver treasures will sink. Hurry, move it out."
Shen Li knelt on his knees, leaned forward, stretched his hands into the pit, made a postureless gesture like a dog eating shit, and lifted the box from the soil with a force of his wrist.
As soon as the box came out, Zhou Huaishan immediately patted the box with a smile, and was not in a hurry to open it. He just pointed at the tree hole.
"If you look for it in the tree hole, there should be some."
Shen Li stood up and went over.
It was already dark now. He lit a fire and shined it into the tree hole. After groping for a moment, he found a small box the size of a palm.
"Master, this?"
Zhou Huaishan took a look and immediately took it, "Yes, that's right, this is it."
After saying that, he bared his teeth at Zhou Qing and said, "Daughter, we have spent our whole life to make money. If this kid bullies you in the future, you go home and dad will support you!"
After saying this, he said to Shen Li: "Take the box down the mountain."
Shen Li couldn't help crying or laughing.
Zhou Qing just wanted to say: Dad, if Shen Li kills us on the spot, all the money will be his!
Fortunately, Shen Li didn't click on them. He just lowered his head and silently acted like a little donkey transporting goods.
With the things in hand, the group headed back home.
I passed by Gulou Street on my way home. As night fell, Gulou Street under the starry sky was very lively, even more noisy than during the day.
When passing Deyue Tower, Zhou Qing lay beside the car window, admiringly looking at the bright lights and people coming and going in Deyue Tower.
If only my copper pot shabu-shabu was here too!
The carriage rolled, heading straight to Xinghua Lane.
After getting off the carriage and looking at the bright lights in the courtyard, Zhou Qing almost thought that he had entered the wrong courtyard.
"this"
Looking at everything in front of him dumbfounded, Zhou Qing tugged on Zhou Huaishan's sleeves.
"Dad, you dreamed about the God of Wealth, did you also dream about the conch girl?"
Zhou Huaishan looked at him in shock.
When they left, the house was still an empty shell.
After digging for treasure, the house is brightly lit?
There are servants sweeping the courtyard.
It even smells like rice?
this.
Whose house is this?
The two men were shocked when a small figure flashed out from one side, like a jumping pony, running towards them happily.
"Sister! Second uncle! I miss you so much!"
Six-year-old Zhou Ping jumped forward.
"Hingzi? Why are you here!"
Compared to just now, Zhou Qing's shock was on another level.
Zhou Ping rushed towards Zhou Qing and hugged Zhou Qing's arm.
"Sister, I begged Uncle Zhong to bring me here. I really missed my eldest sister and my second uncle so much that I couldn't eat or sleep. Uncle Zhong was afraid that I might be sick, so he sent people to bring me here right away."
Zhou Qing
oh?
Yeah?
Why don’t I believe it so much!
Zhou Huaishan slapped Zhou Ping on the head.
"If you want to come to Kyoto, just say you want to come to Kyoto!"
Zhou Ping was in pain. He immediately winced and bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Second uncle still understands me."
After saying that, he walked around from Zhou Qing to Zhou Huaishan.
"Second uncle, is this our home in Kyoto? How wonderful! I never dreamed that we could have a home in Kyoto. This time last year, I was still picking up cow dung on the edge of the field!"
After a pause, Zhou Ping suddenly thought of something and said again: "By the way, second uncle, can you change the desk in my room to a larger one? I want to study maps and other things, and learn to set up a sand table, so The table is too small.
I want something as big as the desk in Senior Brother’s study! "
"Desktop?"
"your room?"
"Eldest brother's study?"
Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan both twitched their eyes. They were silent for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Li.
Shen Li coughed, touched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "I came over as soon as I got my job. When I saw that Master and Qing'er were not there, I thought Master couldn't stay overnight without setting up anything, so I made some decisions."
Zhou Huaishan waved his hand.
"That's not what I said!"
Shen Li said: "I didn't know Pingzi came suddenly. I didn't receive any news before."
Zhou Huaishan glared at Shen Li, "Is this what I'm talking about? What do you mean by your study room?"
Shen Li
His eyes flashed, "Well, I am the master's apprentice, so naturally I live wherever the master lives. I saw that the yard was big enough and had enough rooms, so I arranged one for myself."
Zhou Qing
Nani?
Zhou Huaishan.
"Isn't your home in Guangping's Mansion? Why don't you go back to your own home and arrange a study in my home!"
"When I go back to my home, I will help my master with his homework!"
"Go to your uncle's tutoring lessons. I think you are just thinking about my daughter!"
Shen Li
I miss my youth, isn’t it natural and reasonable?
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes at Shen Li angrily, "Forget it, for the sake of us living in your house, we will barely let you stay for a few days."
Shen Li immediately climbed up the pole and said, "Apprentice, thank you, master."
