Chapter 8 Doubt

thump.

The mahogany box fell to the ground, Zhao Yun turned her head stiffly, "Brother, why did you come back so soon?"

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, his eyes swept over Zhao Yun, and finally fell on the earth pit in front of her and the exquisite mahogany box, his face was startled, "How did you find this box?" Style, carver, It's exactly the same as the one I saw my mother used when I was a child.But, it disappeared shortly thereafter.Didn't expect it to be buried in the ground?A faint doubt arose in Zhao Qi's heart, but it didn't show at all on his face.

Zhao Yun raised her eyes to meet Zhao Qi's nostalgic eyes, and couldn't help but pursed her lips, "I, cleaned and cleaned. Then, I discovered it by accident." It seems that Zhao Qi knew the existence of this mahogany box.

"Really?" Zhao Qi's voice was still cold, but Zhao Yun felt that there was some incomprehensible meaning in it.However, before Zhao Yun could think about it carefully, Zhao Qi walked up to Zhao Yun, squatted down, and picked up the mahogany box.

After brushing off the dirt on the box, Zhao Qi lowered his eyes, stroked the delicate carvings on the mahogany box twice, and then unhurriedly opened the lock.

Slap.The box was opened, and the first thing that caught the eye was a piece of light yellow silk cloth.The pattern on the silk cloth is exquisite and full, but perhaps it has been left for a long time, and the color is a bit dull.

Zhao Yun glanced at it, then looked expectantly at Zhao Qi.Although the pattern on the silk cloth is exquisite, it is obvious and not the best thing.The silver wrapped in silk is what she wants to see most.Zhao Qi also lived up to Zhao Yun's expectations, and quickly opened the silk cloth, revealing all the things inside.

Inside the box, there were four ten taels of silver ingots neatly placed, with the inscription "Hesheng Silver Building".The rest are some broken silver, Zhao Yun has always been insensitive to weight, so he doesn't know how much there are.In addition to the silver, there was also a well-preserved ancient book in the box, and Zhao Yun couldn't understand the font on the cover.The other is a golden round hollow four-leaf clover style thing.If she guessed correctly, that thing should be made of pure gold.Zhao Yun looked regretful, the thing was only half the size of a palm, and it was still hollowed out, it would be nice if it was solid.

However, with the four silver ingots and the large amount of broken silver, Zhao Yun was already happy enough, and she didn't insist on the icing on the cake.Zhao Yun felt her hands itchy, as if she was touching those silver ingots.With them, at least for a period of time in the future, the family will not be short of food.Now my body is out of breath after walking a few steps. Only by eating and drinking well can I think about the future.

Zhao Yun, who was dreaming sweet dreams to himself, didn't see Zhao Qi's pupils constricted suddenly when he saw the four-leaf clover-shaped thing.She wandered through the things in the box contentedly, and then she became curious about the purpose of that thing, and asked, "Brother, what is this? What's the use for it?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Zhao Qi came back to his senses, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and closed the mahogany box, blocking Zhao Yun's sight.

Unexpectedly, she received a cold reception at this time, Zhao Yun blinked, and swallowed more words in her heart in dissatisfaction, "What, I dug it out. Evil Zhao Qi, even for the sake of so much money , shouldn’t be so indifferent to me! It’s fine if you don’t tell me, I can ask myself! Hmph!”

I muttered in my heart, but Zhao Yun absolutely didn't have the courage to say these words.In this day and age, an elder brother is like a father, and she has no capital to resist him even if she is a bad star.

"Don't tell the second person what happened today." Zhao Qi's voice was cold, and his eyes were sharp, which made Zhao Yun tremble instinctively.

Zhao Yun poked her own finger, glanced at Zhao Qi quickly, then lowered her head quickly, and said timidly, "Second brother, can't you tell me. There is a lot of silver in the box. Second brother will be happy when he finds out."

Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Yun firmly, and narrowed his eyes, "I will tell you where the second brother is. Others, no matter who they are, can't reveal a single thing, you, remember?" Living in the main house, I didn't notice the existence of the mahogany box.This time, how could Zhao Yun find out so easily?Moreover, one can tell from the depth of the pit that there is absolutely no possibility of the box being exposed to the ground.Discovered by accident?Do not make jokes.

Not knowing that Zhao Qi had already become suspicious of her, Zhao Yun nodded heavily under Zhao Qi's cold gaze, "Yunyun knows. Except for the second brother, I will definitely not tell anyone about today's affairs."

"That's good." Zhao Qi suppressed all thoughts and nodded lightly: "Restore this place to its original state, and don't bother me without my permission."

"okay."

Zhao Yun frowned as she watched Zhao Qi go directly to Zhao Lin's room with the box in her arms, and the door was closed tightly.I always feel that Zhao Qi attaches some unusual importance to this box, and this cautious attitude also makes her feel puzzled.She can understand that money is not exposed, but she is not so careful.

Shaking her head, Zhao Yun turned around and began to fill the pit, "I'm really the most reliable free laborer!" Digging the pit, taking the treasure, selflessly giving the treasure to others, but burying the pit by himself, what a great sentiment?

"Yunyun, what do you mean by labor?" Ah Tu asked with some doubts.

Zhao Yun kept busy, "Labor is labor, strong labor."

"Yunyun, you are considered a strong laborer? You can't even lift me." The shovel cooperated with Zhao Yun's movements, and joked while shoveling the soil diligently.

"That's because you are too heavy." Zhao Yun patted the soil with a shovel and rolled her eyes.These days, the working people are honest, the shovel is full of iron, with a wooden handle no shorter than her height, it is not light.

"Where is it? When Zhao Lin held me, it was very easy."

"Honey, I'm only seven years old." Still a real little bean!In the 21st century, at this age, she is either in preschool or first grade, and she is spoiled and coquettish by her family. How can she be as hungry as she is now?

Sighing heavily, Zhao Yun stood on the soft soil and stomped hard.

But she didn't know that in Zhao Lin's room, Zhao Qi watched her talking to herself through the gap in the window, and frowned again.
