Chapter 337 The Prey Has Entered the Cage

Chunzhi nodded quickly.

"Of course you have to watch it!"

Hastily rushing to the yard, she found that there were several boxes and cages there.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this cage. It is just a very ordinary cage made of several pieces of pine wood, and its shape is also common outside.Now they are stacked together, at first glance, it looks the same as the New Year gifts from those people before - now those people send New Year gifts, Chun Zhi is put in the yard first, she looks at it first, and then registers it Then arrange it.

It's just that, generally, no matter who's family brings the New Year's gift, they must first say hello at the gate to let her know.But this pile of boxes and cages seemed to appear out of thin air, and no one was called outside all morning, and there were so many people in the house, and no one heard the sound.Then when the maid came out to work and passed by this place, she found that these were already here!
"Miss, who do you think gave it to me? These cages seem to contain a lot of things, but there is not even a note on them. Could it be someone's prank?" Xiaoxue whispered.

"It's not enough to play pranks. Who spends so much time to get such a bunch of things to play a prank? Besides, our door is watched every day, who can come in so easily with so many things?" Chun Zhi shook his head.

"Then who is it? Could it be that they can fly over the roof and walk over the wall?" Xiaoxue looked puzzled.

These words hit Chun Zhi's heart suddenly.

"Open the cage for me to have a look." She hurriedly ordered.

"Okay!" Xiaoxue hurried forward and opened the one closest to her first.

"Wow!" As soon as she opened it, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss, come and see!"

Chunzhi stepped forward, and she squinted her eyes immediately - she saw that there were several bundles of cloth in the box in front of her. Judging by the glossiness, it was actually silk!Moreover, the colors are so bright, and several bundles are embroidered with dark patterns, so you can tell that they are worth a lot at first glance.

"Open one more." Chunzhi said again.

Xiaoxue hurriedly opened the second one, and she suddenly exclaimed again.

Inside this cage is a stack of snow-white rice paper, two good inkstones, a box of ink sticks, and a large bundle of brushes.

Chunzhi is also a person who often reads and writes now, so she also knows a little about pens, inks, papers and inkstones.The snow-white and thick rice paper in the box now costs more than ten taels of silver for a bundle. Except for those respected old gentlemen in Chai Dong's academy, no one else can afford it!But now, there are more than half of the boxes piled up here.

As for the inkstone, she touched it, and the tentacles were warm and delicate. Although she couldn't tell what it was, it was definitely a good thing.As for the ink stick, it is better to distinguish.She opened a box, and an elegant pine scent immediately hit her face, refreshing.This turned out to be the best pine smoke ink!There are also large and small writing brushes, all of which are the best Langhao. Even the barrel of the pen is carefully decorated, with some delicate patterns carved on it, just looking at it reveals an elegant taste.

This box of things, without three or four hundred taels of silver, will definitely not come down.

"Open another box." Chun Zhi hurriedly said again.

Xiaoxue opened another one. At first glance, the things in it didn't seem very valuable, they were just children's toys.But Chunzhi picked up a cloth tiger and looked at it, and found that the workmanship of the cloth tiger was very fine, even better than the needlework of the embroidery she made and sold!Moreover, the stitching method is very strange, and the embroidered pattern is also very beautiful, she couldn't help studying it...

wrong!

After studying it for a long time, she suddenly realized that she was obviously here to find out who the people who came to send these New Year gifts belonged to!

She gritted her teeth, put the cloth tiger down, and opened the last box with her own hands.

This last one is the smallest one and also the lightest one.But as soon as Harue opened it, her eyes straightened.

"This, this..."

There are dozens of veterinary-related books here, and each of them has a description related to the cat's illness!
This is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for the current Chunzhi.

Originally, she still wanted to throw these things out, so as to give the person who quietly sent them a blow!But now, seeing these medical books, she couldn't bear it any longer.

But at the same time, another big doubt arose in her heart - who exactly?That person actually knew everything about them, even what their family needed most, and then took advantage of this time to send it over!

Thinking of this, four large characters suddenly appeared in front of her eyes—His Royal Highness King Liang!
"It should be him." After Chai Dong came back, he nodded immediately after hearing what she said.

Chun Zhi's heart sank again.

"After the Gao family incident, he didn't move for more than half a year, and I thought he had given up! But who knows... Now he appears again! And if he appears, he will appear, and if there is no one, he will just be dark Rubbing and asking someone to send things into the yard of our house, what is this called? Is there anyone like him who does things in a sneaky way?"

Chai Dong also frowned.

"I think I seem to be wrong." He said softly.

"Huh?" Chun Zhi was taken aback, "What did you think wrong?"

"In the past, I thought he was trying to win me over on purpose. I thought he was trying to seize power with ulterior motives. But now, it seems that's not the case." Chai Dong's voice was soft and slow, and he was still thinking seriously.

Haruka nodded. "I think so too. It's really not like he is sincerely trying to win people over to do things for him. On the contrary, I feel that he just thinks of it as soon as he thinks it. Such a person, It’s not like trying to seize power.”

Thinking of it this way, she couldn't figure it out even more. "If that's the case, then why did he treat us like this? Look at these things, it's not called Shi En, it's more like flattery!"

"Indeed, it's not like Shien, it's like flattery. Or... it's deliberately arousing our curiosity." Chai Dong said.

Haruka nodded in agreement. "That's it!"

"But even so, we have no way to find them now. They hide too deeply, and our every move is under their control, but we don't know anything about their every move." Chai Dong said softly.

Haruhi nodded heavily again.

That's the reason!This is what frustrates her the most!
She hates being treated like this.If you really want to help me, then stand up and help me openly, and I can say thank you in person.But as it is now, those people come and go without a trace, doing everything quietly, but somehow it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Then shall we take these things or not?" Chun Zhi asked Chai Dong in a low voice.

"Accept!" Chai Dong nodded immediately, "Since everything has been delivered and is what we need, why not accept it? At worst, let's prepare some rewards and bring them back."

"Oh." Chun Zhi nodded, "But, what can we give him?"

"I have my own plan for this." Chai Dong immediately nodded and said with a deep expression.

That afternoon, two cages were placed in their yard.

But until the next morning, no one moved the box.Same on the third day.

Chunzhi couldn't sit still. "Sanggong, do you think they left?"

"No." Chai Dong shook his head, "Just wait patiently, there will definitely be results."

However, there was still no movement on the fourth and fifth days.Chun Zhi was already discouraged.

In a blink of an eye, it was the night of the sixth day.

In a few days it will be the new year, and every household is busy preparing for the new year.Chunzhi and his family have a lot of people this year, so this year can be regarded as a lively one.Of course, everyone was in high spirits, and the whole family was busy getting ready.

During the day, a pig was slaughtered at home, and it was dragged back from the butcher's house in the afternoon.Now everyone is gathering in the kitchen to marinate and refrigerate the pork that has been cut into eight pieces.Everyone is so busy that they don't have time to think about other things.

At this time, there was a muffled splash outside, and Chai Dong stood up abruptly.

"Sanggong!" Seeing this, Chun Zhi quickly wiped her hands and stood up.

Chai Dong turned around and smiled at her. "The prey is in the cage!"
