Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 832 A pile of broken porcelain pieces
It was a small raised mound, very small, and very inconspicuous hidden among the dilapidated grass. Only half of the broken porcelain pieces poked out of the mound, which reflected the sun's light at a certain angle, just in time to catch it. In his own eyes.

Like chance, but also like fate.

Shen Luoxin approached the mound and bent down to investigate. The soil of the mound was soft and it was indeed newly dug. It might have been done by the man in black.

The broken piece of porcelain was still half buried in the soil, and it looked like there was something else underneath. It rained two days ago. The rain fell suddenly and violently, but it stopped after only a moment. I heard that many people were drowned before they even had time to take shelter from the rain. They hurriedly found shelter from the rain, but before they could even take a breath, the rain stopped again.

Since that person came here deliberately to bury these things, it was impossible to bury half of them and leave half of them. The half of the broken porcelain pieces were probably washed away by the rain.

If not, it would be really not easy to find this inconspicuous little mound in this messy abandoned garden. It can be seen that whether it is chance or fate, it is a good direction - Shen Luoxin thought this way, with many things on his mind, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he felt a bit like enjoying the hardships.

She found a shovel, and then a small basket from the corner of the backyard, and dug up the mound of soil. As expected, she saw some cups, dishes, and chopsticks inside, most of which were broken. She didn't know whether they were like that before or when they were buried. Caused. But judging from the material of the porcelain pieces, they shouldn't be belonging to wealthy people. There was also a thick layer of yellow tea stains on the white porcelain tea cup.

Even if someone from the government digs it out in the future, they will probably think that it is just a broken cup and saucer discarded in the backyard by the Ashou family, and it will not attract too much attention or additional investigation - after all, who can take the photo? Can I promise that there were really no omissions during the last search?

If I hadn't walked here accidentally and listened to Aunt Xue's words, I wouldn't have paid too much attention to the broken porcelain fragments scattered in such an abandoned garden.

Maybe this is called - the most dangerous place is the safest place?
Shen Luoxin put the pile of broken porcelain pieces into the handkerchief, and then put the handkerchief into the basket. Of course she knew that this thing was extremely dangerous. Maybe it was a vessel used by patients with the epidemic. Maybe there were new patients in the city, but the news was quietly suppressed by a certain force. They sent people to bury these things here. , turning them out by herself at this moment is like opening a Pandora's box. Obviously, she is the one who bears the brunt.

But... Mr. Chen has not made breakthrough progress yet, and the existing information in his hands is too little.

In this Pandora's box right now, there may be some of the things we need most right now...just "maybe". It is also possible that there is nothing useful at all. Then, what will happen if you get infected by the epidemic...?
She is a person who is afraid of death... A person who has died once knows better than anyone else the importance of "living" itself. All expectations, all obsessions, and all goals we strive for are meaningful only by "living". If nothing unexpected happens, she will not have a third chance to live. After this time, she will die for a long, long time... She had already hesitated to think about these thoughts when she stood outside the wall.

She had anticipated all the consequences, good or bad, so she sent away the two secret guards...but she still came in.

She squatted on the ground and looked up at the sky. The sun was just right and the cool breeze was blowing gently. When talking about the winter here two days ago, Jie Feng said that she wanted to see the heavy snow in the sky, and she told him that it would be soon.

In my last life, I was born in a place where it didn't snow very much. Like this child, I used to watch the weather forecast eagerly to watch the winter snow scene. It snows every year in Yanjing City. Sometimes it snows heavily for two or three days at a time. The moment you open the door of your home, you will be really surprised by the world covered in snow. The deep and shallow footprints on the ground look so... cute. Xu Siniang always joked that it was the nature of children, she just smiled and never explained...

Look, even if this life is simple, hard, and even a little boring day after day, just the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter is already a quiet joy in the years. These can only be felt by "living".

So, how could she not be afraid of death?

But, some things have to be done by someone.

Whether there are seeds of hope hidden in Pandora's box, you can only see it when the box is opened - someone has to open it.

Shen Luoxin looked away, looked at the basket at hand, and sighed softly. After a long while, I stood up with my knees and stretched my numb calves. Then I carried the small basket and walked to the place where I came down before. I found a few stones in the garden, tiptoed, and returned the same way.

……

Over there, the secret guard returned to the house and conveyed all Shen Luoxin's words to Ji Wuyan. After hearing this, Ji Wuyan was silent for a moment, then nodded and ordered, "I understand, brother, I still want to trouble you. I'll go and tell him the whole thing again, and tell him that it's my intention and let him take charge of Miss Shen's safety."

The secret guard nodded and said yes, and went to Shangguan Chu.

Since Shangguan Chu had excused himself from the stage, he sent a coachman to pick up Shen Luoxin from his house. But it was obvious that when the coachman passed by, Shen Luoxin had just climbed into the backyard of Ashou's house.

Although the coachman missed, he thought that Miss Shen might be walking slower or lingering somewhere. After waiting for a long time, Shen Luoxin was not seen, so he went back to report.

Shangguan Chu didn't take it seriously. After all, he was such a big man and there were secret guards following him, so nothing could happen. Maybe this so-called "going home to find something" was just an excuse to avoid him, so he thought about it later. I'll go pick it up myself. Unexpectedly, the secret guard came back and talked about Shen Luoxin, and he couldn't sit still.

The little girl is preparing to... take risks! Are you really desperate?
He stood up quickly and walked straight out. He only took two steps and suddenly paused - she had already gone in, and there was nothing she could do to stop her at this time. In terms of reason, he understood that she was right. He should send away all irrelevant personnel to minimize possible harm. But in terms of emotions... he was angry that she made the decision without authorization!
Even if someone wanted to go in, it shouldn't be her, a little girl. Even if the sky fell, why would she, Shen Luoxin, be the one to hold it up?

Shangguan Chu stood there, his fist hanging by his side tightening, loosening and tightening again. After a long while, he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Aside from safety, what else did the girl say?"

"The girl only said that sentence and didn't say anything else. She only said that she knew."
