Chapter 547 Digging the Box
As soon as she came out of the tent, Nier saw her master standing there.
The two exchanged glances, understood each other, and then they lightened their footsteps and tiptoed quietly towards their destination.
Ni'er's pace was slightly slower than Zhao Jincheng's. As she walked, she observed the other's walking posture.
His eyes fell on himself, and suddenly, he discovered that his walking posture was exactly the same as his master's. It is true that the apprentice follows the master.
Ni'er couldn't help but stop and look at Zhao Jincheng. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to call him.
"Master~" Ni'er called softly.
When Zhao Jincheng heard Ni'er's cry, he stopped, but his body remained in the same position, motionless, as if someone had pressed the acupoints on it.
He slowly turned his head, looked at Ni'er, and asked in confusion, "Ah?"
Ni'er looked at Zhao Jincheng's expression and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
She suppressed her smile and said to Zhao Jincheng, "There's no one on this road, so we don't need to walk like this. If we are seen, people will think we are thieves."
After hearing what Ni'er said, Zhao Jincheng realized that his posture was a little strange.
He smiled sheepishly, then slowly pulled his hands and feet back and resumed his normal walking posture.
Ni'er felt relieved when she saw Zhao Jincheng turning back into the handsome and elegant young man he was.
She smiled and said to Zhao Jincheng: "Master, this is much better. I can walk normally now."
Zhao Jincheng thought to himself that his sneaky behavior just now was really funny.
He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of sneaky behavior was not his style.
Finally arriving at the destination, Zhao Jincheng saw two blurry figures in the distance.
He looked carefully and confirmed that it was the helper he had found. He then breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward with confidence.
When one of them saw Zhao Jincheng and Doctor Niu coming, he lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Zhao, Doctor Niu, you are finally here."
Zhao Jincheng nodded and responded softly: "Well, let's get started."
Nier took a deep breath and stepped into the area carefully.
Her mood was extremely complicated, both excited and nervous.
She walked step by step towards the direction that Lao Zhu always stared at, as if she could feel Lao Zhu's gaze on her.
With the dim moonlight, Nier carefully observed her surroundings, not missing any details.
At this moment, suddenly, the clouds in the sky seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth like silver gauze, illuminating everything around.
Nier's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly discovered that not far away, there was a patch of grass that seemed a little different from the grass elsewhere.
The grass was slightly lighter in color and stood out against the moonlight.
Nier's heart moved and she looked down quickly.
Sure enough, she found that the land there seemed to have been turned over and the soil was a little loose.
She couldn't help but feel happy and thought, "This must be it!"
Because time was very tight at the time, there was no time to spend a lot of time digging a hole deep enough to bury the items, so they could only choose to bury them shallowly.
Because of this, it was now easy to dig it out of the ground without spending too much effort.
The two said in unison: "Doctor Zhao, Doctor Niu, we will take our leave first."
Zhao Jincheng smiled, gave each of them a small piece of silver, and said, "Okay, thank you both for your hard work."
However, when the two men took the silver, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They quickly declined, saying, "How can this be so embarrassing, Doctor Zhao, this is too much."
Seeing this, Zhao Jincheng quickly pushed their hands back and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, take it quickly, this is what you deserve."
After hearing what Zhao Jincheng said, the two of them happily accepted the money, saying, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao, thank you, Doctor Zhao."
After the two left, Nier suddenly felt that the box looked extremely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
She couldn't help but look up at her master, only to find that her master was also staring at the box. Their eyes met, and they could each feel that what the other was thinking was exactly the same as their own.
"Is it really that box?" Nier widened her eyes and looked at the object in front of her with suspicion.
Seeing this, Zhao Jincheng couldn't help but feel doubtful, but he still decided to verify it himself.
He slowly squatted down, carefully dug the box out of the soil and placed it on the ground.
Then, he gently used his hands to remove the dirt on the box, revealing the true appearance of the box.
The box looked a bit worn and had some noticeable damage on it.
Zhao Jincheng looked at the damaged areas carefully and suddenly remembered something.
He said in surprise: "This... This is the box I found! The damage on it is exactly the same!"
After hearing this, Nier became even more confused.
She also squatted down, moved closer to the box and observed it carefully.
Despite this, Nier still wanted to confirm it further.
She clasped her hands together and said to the box, "I really didn't mean to disturb you. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, Nier took a deep breath and slowly opened the lid.
Looking closely, there was indeed a cloth bag inside, the same one that was put in at the beginning.
The two looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
How did this box appear here? What did Lao Zhu do with it? And he was watching it so closely. Who would steal someone else's ashes?
"Master, why do you think he wanted to take this thing?" Ni'er looked at her master with a puzzled look on her face, her heart full of confusion.
The master also found this matter incredible. He shook his head and seemed unable to explain the reason.
Seeing this, Nier knew that she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought, so she simply gave up thinking.
I saw Nier carefully put the entire piece of turf that had just been dug out back to its original place, and then carefully rearranged the surrounding soil so that it looked almost the same as before.
After finishing all this, Nier clapped her hands and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
Then, she and Zhao Jincheng moved the box to a more hidden place to ensure that it would not be easily discovered.
Nier stared at the place where the box was placed, frowned slightly, and muttered to herself thoughtfully: "Could it be that Uncle Zhu has some deep hatred with him?"
Zhao Jincheng was standing aside. When he heard Ni'er's words, he couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that his little disciple's idea was a bit far-fetched.
