Chapter 70 The Strange Behavior of the Deaf Old Lady

"It's that Li Yang! He's the one who instigated this, causing Zhuzi and I to become enemies!" Yi Zhonghai was furious and slammed the table. "I had already coaxed He Yuzhu... and I don't know why he went to ask about the post office. There must be something wrong!"

Yi Zhonghai became more and more annoyed as he spoke. He picked up the teacup beside him and threw it hard on the ground, splashing broken pieces of porcelain all over the floor.

The deaf old lady sighed and shook her head helplessly. She never thought that she had only been out for two days and her two most capable confidants would be in such a mess. It was a pity that she had regarded them as the backbone of the struggle!

"Why didn't you discuss this with me? Now that we have offended Zhuzi, how many people are left in our courtyard?" The deaf old lady complained unhappily, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai.

"I was just confused for a moment. Who knew Zhuzi would do this?" Yi Zhonghai defended himself, looking aggrieved. "Besides, I did this for his own good. The money for his future dowry will be in this. But Zhuzi didn't appreciate it and insisted that I swallowed his money. I'm simply repaying kindness with enmity!"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, his eyes turned red, like a young wife who was bullied.

But the deaf old lady didn't buy his tricks. She snorted heavily and said coldly: "I don't care about the money-eating, but this situation makes you

It was caused by my own hand, but you don't take any responsibility at all, and instead you act arrogantly in front of me, what kind of talk is that?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless when he heard this. He was scolded so badly that he couldn't utter a word.

He hesitated for a long time before stammering in defense: "I...Isn't this just a momentary negligence? Who let that Li Yang interfere and ruin my life?

Good news? If you have a way to deal with him, I'll go right away!"

When Li Yang was mentioned, the old deaf lady's eyes instantly turned sinister. "This kid ruined my business. I'll take note of it! Don't worry about him. If he dares to provoke me again,

If he creates trouble, I will take care of him!"

As the deaf old lady spoke, she pounded her cane hard, her old face stretched out like a female ghost.

Yi Zhonghai was startled and nodded and bowed repeatedly, not daring to say anything more.

That night, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai argued with each other and scolded Li Yang severely.

The two men wanted to cut Li Yang into pieces to vent their hatred. They vented all their resentment on Li Yang, as if this could save the declining situation.

But at this time, Li Yang had no idea that he had become a thorn in the eyes of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

……

It was late at night and the courtyard was silent.

Li Yang didn't sleep, he was holding a blueprint and working hard under the dim light.

I saw the pencil in his hand moving quickly on the drawing, and a rustling sound could be heard from time to time.

One by one, the parts gradually took shape on paper, and the structure of the mechanical device became clearer and clearer.

[Ding, Mechanical Engineering Proficiency +10!]

[Ding, Mechanical Engineering Proficiency +20!]

……

As a series of prompt sounds rang in his mind, a smug smile appeared on Li Yang's lips.

He knew that he was moving step by step towards the goal of becoming an "elite in mechanical engineering".

But now, the proficiency he gained from drawing these simple drawings could no longer satisfy his appetite.

"Alas, it seems that in order to reach the elite level, a more complex design is needed." Li Yang murmured to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He stretched, rubbed his sore eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from the yard.

"Huh? Who's still sneaking around outside so late?" Li Yang's heart trembled and he pricked up his ears alertly.

He walked quietly to the window, opened it a little, and looked out cautiously.

In the bright moonlight, Li Yang saw a hunched figure moving slowly in the yard, like a ghost.

When I looked closely, I found that it was a deaf old lady!

"What is this old witch doing here, staying up late at night?" Li Yang muttered secretly, frowning.

Feeling that something was fishy, ​​he decided to observe quietly.

But the deaf old lady slowly moved to the corner of the backyard and stopped under an ancient locust tree.

She looked around, as if to make sure that no one was around. Then, Li Yang heard her mutter to herself: "It seems that I have to use 'that'. This kid is so hateful!"

As she spoke, a hint of cruelty flashed in the deaf old woman's eyes, revealing deep hatred.

She squatted down with difficulty, took out a small shovel from her pocket, and began to dig the soil under the ancient locust tree.

"Huh? What is this old guy digging in the middle of the night?" Li Yang was surprised.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the deaf old woman's every move.

She dug and dug with all her might. Soon, a small hill of earth was piled up at her feet.

"Whoa—" The deaf old lady gasped heavily, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her face turned pale.

But soon, her eyes became bright again. She carefully took out a black object from the pit.

Li Yang stared at it intently, but couldn't see clearly what it was.

The deaf old lady just sneered sinisterly, turned around, and looked coldly towards Li Yang's house, her eyes full of resentment.

"Hmph, you little bastard, just wait for me! Let's see how long you can keep being proud this time!" She said through gritted teeth, with endless malice in her voice.

After saying that, the deaf old lady sighed deeply, limped back to the house, and closed the door heavily.

Li Yang saw it all and was anxious. He felt vaguely that the deaf old lady must be plotting some conspiracy.

"This old witch's abnormal behavior tonight is most likely related to me." Li Yang speculated secretly.

He touched his chin, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and the courtyard fell into silence again.

Li Yang's eyes were fixed on the deaf old lady's door, waiting nervously.

About half an hour later, faint snoring sounds were finally heard from the deaf old lady's room.

"It seems that this old witch should be asleep." Li Yang thought to himself, "The time is almost right, it's time to act."

He pushed open the door quietly and slipped out silently.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Li Yang quickly came under the ancient locust tree.

He squatted down and carefully checked the ground for abnormalities. As expected, he found fresh soil on a bluestone slab.

"Looking at the traces, it's clear that it was just moved by someone." Li Yang concluded.

He stretched out his hand and lifted it with force, and the bluestone slab opened up, revealing a hole of moderate size underneath.

When Li Yang reached into the cave and touched something inside, he was shocked!
