Chapter 93: Midnight Treasure Hunt
Although Mrs. Mo couldn't help but nag, she still pitied her husband and had Guihua help boil some water. Then, Mrs. Mo personally helped Chu Lixu bathe and even made him a hangover soup to drink before he finally fell into a deep sleep.
On this day, the Chu family was naturally exhausted. Even the usually idle Second Aunt, under Xu's strict supervision, did a lot of chores today. As for Second Uncle, he indulged in wine and meat, drinking many cups. As soon as the banquet dispersed, he returned to his own room to sleep. At this moment, his snores were indeed the loudest sound in his house.
Night has fallen, and the candles in several houses of the Chu family have all gone out. The intermittent snoring sounds are a bit like symphonic music floating in the air above the courtyard.
"Sister... sister..." The osmanthus flower called out softly to the plum blossom, who stirred slightly but didn't respond further, apparently having fallen asleep as well.
Osmanthus flowers silently smiled and grabbed their clothes, touched the black and wore shoes, and sneaked out.
Mr. Chu had a habit that was both good and bad, which was to clean the toilet every morning as soon as he got up. As a result, Guihua worried that Mr. Chu might accidentally dig up her carefully hidden purse, and if it were dug up, not only would the silver be gone, but she might even lose the purse itself.
Moreover, Guihua was also worried that the package would be buried in the ground and might get bitten or scratched by insects. If that happened, it wouldn't be good to explain to that whatever dog fart world son. So she had no choice but to wait until everyone fell asleep, then sneak out to dig up the package and hide it well.
Although it was already the twenty-third night, the crescent moon looked very small. Fortunately, the sky was clear and starry, making this night not as dark as expected.
The osmanthus lanterns placed outside the door were prepared for the night watch, and they walked step by step towards the thatched cottage.
The smell of the thatched house was more than enough compared to daytime, but the osmanthus flower seemed to be completely imperceptible at this time. What she thought about now was just to quickly put away that bundle.
"Osmanthus." Suddenly, Chu Yan's voice sounded behind her, scaring Osmanthus so much that she shook all over and almost fell to the ground with a thud.
"Brother, why haven't you slept yet?" Guihua, who was already squatting on the ground, turned her head to look back and saw Chuyan Nian wearing a nightgown with an outer garment draped over it, standing not far behind her.
Chu Yan didn't expect to scare Gui Hua, he was just worried that Gui Hua's body wasn't feeling well and also worried that this little girl was afraid of walking at night, so he followed her out. "I saw you covering your stomach when you came out earlier, I thought your stomach hurt, I was afraid something happened to you, so I followed you out. Gui Hua, why are you squatting? Is your stomach hurting too much? Brother will go find a doctor for you!"
As she spoke, Chu Yan really turned around and walked away.
Osmanthus suddenly urged, hurriedly called out to Chu Yan Nian, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't make a fuss, I'm busy now, wait until I finish my business, and then I'll tell you what's going on."
Under the dim light of the lantern, Chu Yan saw that Gui Hua's small face was full of seriousness, and his heart couldn't help but tense up a bit as well. "Then your stomach..."
After all, Chu Yan Nian was still worried about Gui Hua's uncomfortable body.
Osmanthus shook his head, turned around and continued to work on digging the soil with his hands. "I'm fine, brother. It's just right that you came. Help me hold down the wind, if someone comes over, you can help me stop them!"
