Chapter 516: Discovering Traces
Jiang Jiyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "She is so powerful?"
Seeing this, Xiaoyu, who was standing by, lowered her voice and came over mysteriously, saying softly, "That's right, Sister An's family used to be very rich! But four years ago, she suddenly ran away to our place and took refuge with Uncle Qi. She used to say that she was a lady from a wealthy family!"
Jiang Jiyun nodded thoughtfully, his eyes falling on An Xin who was crying heartbrokenly, thinking to himself: "It seems that I have found my target..."
At this moment, An Xin suddenly ran in the direction Aunt Qin left like crazy.
When Jiang Jiyun saw this, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ran away, following An Xin closely.
As she ran, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Sister Anxin, please don't let this get you down! We can talk it out if there's anything. Don't be impulsive!"
However, today almost everyone in the village was attracted by the news that there were particularly large fish in the river.
Therefore, Jiang Jiyun's shouting only attracted the attention of a few people.
"Xiaomei, what is the adopted girl from the third brother's family doing? " An old woman walked out of the house slowly, looked at An Xin who was walking away, and asked Qi Guimei who was chasing after her in confusion.
"Grandma Lin, there was just a little quarrel. We misunderstood Aunt Qin and she seemed angry. An Xin went to chase Aunt Qin to apologize." Qi Guimei said embarrassedly.
But the look on Aunt Qin's face as she held the stick and looked angry was indeed a bit scary, and they all thought that Aunt Qin was going to hit An Xin.
Qi Dalong followed behind and said, "Didn't Sister Anxin say before that she was afraid she would be beaten when she returned? We thought Auntie would really beat her, so we stopped her."
"She's using you kids as a tool again, right?" The old lady sighed, shook her head and went back to the yard.
Jiang Jiyun followed Qi Guimei and the others to chase An Xin, but she clearly saw that An Xin turned right. Now seeing these children still running towards the village entrance, she deliberately fell behind and then went to chase An Xin.
After running for a while, she could no longer see An Xin. Looking at the rows of houses, she didn't know which yard An Xin had entered.
Jiang Jiyun climbed the not-so-high earthen walls of each courtyard in search, but he couldn't find Anxin.
"This is strange, is there a tunnel here? Did she go into the tunnel?" Jiang Jiyun muttered.
She walked around the area again and was about to take out her drone to look for someone when she heard a humming sound.
"Found it!" Jiang Jiyun ran to the yard where the sound came from.
Next to the wall of the courtyard, there was a crooked tree with its trunk slightly tilted. Jiang Jiyun didn't bother to pay attention to what kind of tree it was. He quickly climbed up the tree using his hands and feet.
She climbed up a few steps and finally reached the tree branch, then stuck her head out and secretly observed the movements in the house.
The sound of a man and a woman talking came from the room. Jiang Jiyun held his breath, afraid of making any noise and attracting the attention of the people in the room.
She moved her body slowly, climbed over the courtyard wall, and landed lightly on the ground without making a sound.
Then, she crouched down, walked quietly to the window, pricked up her ears, and listened carefully to the sounds in the house.
"I really can't stay here for another day. Brother Wen, let's leave here today!" The woman's voice revealed a hint of anxiety and helplessness.
"I'm afraid not for now. I'm still injured. Even if we leave, I can't protect you." The man's voice sounded a little low and worried.
"But it's so hard here. I have to do a lot of work every day. I can't stand it anymore." An Xin's voice was filled with tears, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"If we leave here, how can I support you? How can I protect you? What should we do if we meet the Japanese on the road?" Although the man's tone was firm, it was also full of helplessness and helplessness.
An Xin said anxiously, "Then Brother Wen, please marry me. I don't want to live in the Qi family anymore. That old woman is always harassing me. Today she wants to drive me back."
"Why should I send you back? Didn't I tell you to be patient recently? Life has been much better here recently. And I told you that people in Yu Province have starved to death due to the natural disasters. We may not be able to eat enough if we go out." There was dissatisfaction in the man's voice.
An Xin also heard his dissatisfaction, "Brother Wen, I have no other options, right? Are you going out? Can I help you out?"
When Jiang Jiyun heard them say they were going to come out, she hid. After waiting for a while, she moved closer again in confusion. Unexpectedly, she heard the voices of a man and a woman making love.
"Oh my god, these two are shameless." Jiang Jiyun covered his ears and walked towards the small shed nearby.
Jiang Jiyun frowned, endured the disgusting stench, quickly put on a mask, and began to search the place carefully.
The reason why she came here was because she had seen some plots in TV dramas before, in which some people had strange habits and liked to hide things next to the toilet.
She stepped on the wooden board carefully, afraid of making any noise, and then gently lifted the wooden board under her feet.
However, after a careful inspection, she did not find anything unusual.
Just when Jiang Jiyun was feeling a little disappointed, she suddenly felt that there was a brick on the wall at her feet that seemed to be able to be pulled out.
She reached out her hand curiously and touched it, and sure enough, the brick was pulled out easily.
However, when she saw that the brick was only half broken, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Jiang Jiyun didn't think too much about it, but continued to try to pull out a few other bricks.
As the bricks were pulled out one by one, a wooden box hidden under the hole in the wall gradually appeared.
"I want to see whether there is gold or dollars in it." Jiang Jiyun muttered to himself as he reached into the hole in the wall and took out the heavy box.
She looked at the box carefully and found that it was covered with a thin layer of sand with two very short hairs scattered on the sand.
Jiang Jiyun originally wanted to open the box to see what was inside, but when she thought that this might be evidence of someone else's spies hidden here, what if it exploded when it was opened, her curiosity was put away.
Jiang Jiyun decided not to open the box, but put it back to its original place and wait to catch the culprit in the act. The sound he just heard from inside sounded a bit like metal.
She put the bricks back into the hole in the wall one by one in the original order, making sure everything was restored to its original state.
Finally, Jiang Jiyun looked at the wooden boards under her feet and felt that they should also be sacrificed. She picked up two boards and walked into her own space.
In the space, Jiang Jiyun took out a saw and sawed the two wooden boards a few times, then returned to the original place and spread the sawed wooden boards on the ground.
In this way, the ground looked exactly the same as before, with no signs of having been touched by anyone.
