Hang yourself at the beginning, empty the family and go to the countryside

There were people lying all over the floor in the room.

The five or six members of the family, big and small, were tied up tightly.

Lying on the ground in a crooked state.

He didn't move at all, and I didn't know whether he was dead or alive!

The militia captain quickly knocked on the door. Fortunately, the conditions were not very good. The door was made of a few thin wooden boards and was not very strong. It was knocked open in a few hits.

At this time, the two of them didn't care about protecting the evidence.

Hurry up and check it out.

The person closest to them was He Laoxi, whose hands were tied behind his back, his legs were also tied, and something was stuffed in his mouth.

When he heard the sound of someone banging on the door, he raised his head with difficulty and whimpered twice.

Then it drooped down weakly.

Xiao Aimin rushed over to untie the rope: "Lao Xi, Lao Xi, come in quickly, quickly, go call the doctor, and find some hot water and soup noodles, quickly, quickly!"

The militia captain also tried to do it, but unfortunately the rope was tied in a knot and could not be untied with bare hands.

You can only find a kitchen knife to cut it open.

The people outside heard the noise and followed in, and were also frightened by the scene before them.

Several people were standing still.

Seeing this, Xiao Aimin got a little angry and said in a bad tone: "What are you just standing there watching? Hurry up and untie the rope!"

Only then did they come back to their senses.

Hurry up and help.

Fortunately, everyone was still alive, but they were severely dehydrated, especially the children, whose breathing was so weak that they were almost dying.

That's it, the situation is not optimistic. The barefoot doctor in the village took a look and said that it is not good and cannot be treated.

We could only harness the horse carriage and ask my third uncle to take us to the commune clinic.

The police from the commune came to check and found that the space underneath their house had been hollowed out.

Judging from the traces, there should be something stored inside.

But I don’t know what it is specifically!

When Su Ruobai learned about this, the old man's funeral had already been completed, and He Laoxi's family had been sent to the health center.

The old man lived far away from her home, so she didn't hear anything.

She was pregnant again.

Here, people with children are not allowed to attend funerals because they are afraid of being attacked.

When Su Ruobai heard that the basement of He Laoxi's house had been dug out, he thought of the treasures he had found on the river bank.

Could it be that Shangwan Village is also an ancient tomb complex?

Xiao Yichen was holding a dagger and peeling an apple for Su Ruobai.

The smile on her face is full of happiness and brilliance that cannot be suppressed.

It was completely different from the forced smile of the past few days.

After peeling the apple, Xiao Yichen handed it to Su Ruobai: "Here, wife, have an apple. It's sour, I'm sure you like it!"

Su Ruobai took it and looked at it carefully in his hand. The craftsmanship was amazing. Only a thin layer of peel was removed and not much flesh was lost.

The peel is still connected from beginning to end and has never been broken.

"Good craftsmanship!" Su Ruobai praised sincerely.

Xiao Yichen's smile deepened.

He took the dagger to the main room and rinsed it in a basin to wash off the sugar.

Then he went back to the house and wiped the water stains with a handkerchief.

Then put it in the leather case.

These days, Su Ruobai has not gone out and just reads books at home.

When Qian Huan came, he just exchanged a few pleasantries, then put down his things and left.

No one said that a strange man came to the village.

I was also afraid of scaring Su Ruobai.

So she had no idea about these situations.

Until today, the incident of He Laoxi's family being tied up for three days was exposed.

Xiao Yichen felt that it was necessary to tell his wife.

"Wife, an old man in our village passed away a few days ago. I heard that he was frightened by a scary-looking beggar. If you go out recently, we can go together. Also, Uncle He's family in our village had their house robbed."

Su Ruobai, who was eating an apple, also stopped eating. Shock and regret were written on his face: "I'm scared to death. This, this is too...ah, this is what happens when you get older..."

After a few seconds of silence, Su Ruobai continued, "You said our village was robbed again. What good things are there in our village that so many thieves are coveting?"

Xiao Yichen also scratched his brow, somewhat helplessly: "They say the base of the house has been dug out. Maybe something was buried there before. Now everyone in the village is in a panic. They are not allowed to ask for leave. Now they even call the roll several times."

"Underground? What's underground? Tell me honestly, were there some wealthy landlords here in the past, and then when they ran into hard times, they buried everything underground!"

Right? Then those who don’t follow the right path will find out, and then we will suffer.”

Su Ruobai's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of slight fear appeared on his face. "We don't have any of that, do we? Tell me the truth, when you were digging the foundation, did you find anything good?"

Xiao Yichen smiled and nodded, listening to his wife talk, and the more he listened, the more he felt it made sense.

It makes more and more sense.

The expression on his face became more and more serious as he acknowledged what Su Ruobai said.

Su Ruobai pressed her body against the table, crossed the table, and waved her hand in front of Xiao Yichen: "What are you doing? I was just joking, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

"It's really possible!" Xiao Yichen nodded seriously.

"Wife, I think your analysis is correct. We might have some good stuff buried here."

Su Ruobai glanced at Xiao Yichen with disdain: "Xiao Yichen, you don't have to coax a child like that. Whatever I say is true. If you say that, I'll dig up our house. I want to see what good things we have."

"Forget it then. If you want to dig, you should wait until after the baby is born! Wife, I'm going out for a while. I guess I'll be back late tonight. Don't hold the door open for me."

As he said that, he went to the main room to wash apples and pears for Su Ruobai and also filled a small plate with snacks.

This snack was the one Zhou Aihui gave me last time when she came to borrow the sewing machine. The ones Zhou Aiguo gave me had already been eaten.

After finishing all these, Xiao Yichen pushed his bicycle out.

He went straight to the commune police station with a relaxed look on his face.

Looking at Xiao Yichen returning to his previous relaxed state, Su Ruobai felt a little puzzled.

What on earth is this person talking about?

What happened to him some time ago?

How come his attitude changed so drastically in just three days?

What exactly happened in these three days?

Su Ruobai sorted out the events of the past few days in his mind.

One is that Xiao Yichen’s great-grandfather passed away because he was frightened by a strange-looking person.

Another one is that something happened in He Laoxi's family. The whole family was tied up like dumplings and starved for three days.

What else have you overlooked?

Or, she should go out and see the world.

That’s right, going out more often is good for her and the child, isn’t it?

Also, there are good things under Shangwan Village, how come she missed it?

Could it be that she didn't look carefully enough before?

He extended his consciousness again, letting the roots of the vines wander underground, but still found nothing.

Either it's too far or she doesn't have the ability to reach that distance.

Or maybe they only found some broken stones and rotten wood, but no treasures at all.

Su Ruobai gently stroked his smooth chin with his hand. Who on earth was this talented person who could find these treasures so accurately?

The key is that there are no indicators on the ground?

Could it be that there are other travelers in this world?

Then she had to be careful.

A faint light flashed in Su Ruobai's pupils.

Or perhaps, some people have a map in their hands? Or are they holding a deck of clear cards?
