Chapter 2166

I pretended to be confused and said, "Did he go away to visit relatives?"

"She is not from our local area, and I have never heard of any relatives of hers. It is almost July, and it's time to pick summer tea. She shouldn't have traveled far. It's strange."

Then, he whispered: "Young man, I think you are quite honest, so I am telling you. I am a little worried. Is Granny Cat dead?"

My expression changed and I said, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"I mean, she lives alone, is old, and is in poor health! I heard that she has severe diabetes! I'm worried that she died of illness in the house!"

"No! You have to take a look at everything to feel at ease!"

He turned around and left with the hoe on his shoulder.

My soul was immediately frightened!

This would make him discover the body in the house!

So I made an excuse and said I would go see it with him.

On the way, I had murderous intentions twice. I wanted to pick up the stones on the roadside and hit him on the back of the head! But after thinking about it, I held back.

Things haven't gotten that serious yet, and there's still room for improvement. Besides, I've never killed or harmed anyone! I don't want to break the habit.

When he arrived at the thatched house, he put down his hoe and ran to the window to look inside.

"Grandma Cat! Grandma Cat!"

"There is no one. It seems that he has really traveled far away."

He suddenly turned around and asked me: "Little brother, do you smell it? Why does there seem to be a strange smell in the house? It's smelly and fragrant."

"No big brother? This doesn't smell like anything."

"Forget it, I'm leaving then! You guys, please pay attention to safety in the mountains. There are wild animals in the mountains at night."

After watching them leave, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Like he said, it does have a smell. I originally wanted to wait two days, but now I realize that I can’t wait! We have to bury the person temporarily first! Otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

At 9:30 that night, I called Dou Sprout, dug a hole casually, and buried the big pottery jar with the old woman. After burying the person, Dou Sprout and I sat on the ground to smoke and rest.

Suddenly, I noticed a ginkgo tree not far behind the thatched house. The leaves looked like they were often taken care of.

Douyazai also saw it, and she said excitedly: "Fengzi! Is it possible??"

"Not necessarily, let's go! Go and dig around!"

When we came to the ginkgo tree, we decided on two places and started digging at the same time.

After digging for a while, nothing was found, so we dug in two more places.

This time I dug to a depth of more than half a meter. Suddenly, the shovel in my hand hit a hard object.

I hurriedly dug up the soil and saw that a large old-fashioned cowhide box was exposed in the soil!
