The door was gently pushed open a crack, and there was only a low, hoarse and short creaking sound.

Zhou Lihui knew clearly that the door opened to this extent made the least noise, and at the same time it was enough for him to squeeze out sideways.

He tiptoed out the door and went into the yard.

This sound was not enough to wake up a sleeping person, but it was enough to make Mu Ying, who was still awake and waiting for the fish to take the bait, to notice the abnormality.

She put down her phone and went to the window.

She didn't intend to sleep tonight, and turned her mobile phone to the dark mode to read novels to pass the time. As she expected, someone couldn't help it.

I saw my uncle sneaking up to the edge of the courtyard wall, where there was an old vat.

In the past, my grandmother planted water lilies and raised fish in this tank.

But now there is only a dry stalk left of the water lily, the fish has disappeared, and the water is full of moss.

During the daytime, Muying also looked for this fish tank. Although the water was muddy, she could still see the situation in the tank clearly. There were only some small stones, glass balls and pebbles in it, no different from before.

Seeing her uncle take out the lighter, Muying squatted in front of the tank and rustled around for a while, then went back to the house without taking anything.

She didn't understand the purpose of this operation at all.

But since it was midnight, and it took a lot of time to run to the tank, there must be something wrong with this tank.

There is still water in such a big tank, so it is impossible for my uncle to sneak it away at night.

She is a creditor, so if she wants to check the tank, she can do it openly. After tomorrow, she wants to see what's wrong with the tank.

Lying on the bed, she didn't sleep well, and was drowsy. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly she heard a bang, and she woke up immediately.

Turning her head to look out the window, it was already dawn, and the sound came from the yard. She quickly got out of bed and went to the bed to look, and there was no one in the yard, only the old tank under the courtyard wall was cracked, and the water was splashing. It flowed all over the place.

Mu Ying hurriedly went out to have a look. Just as she went out, she heard an exclamation before she even got to the front: "Oh! Why is this tank cracked?"

Looking back, my uncle followed, and her father followed closely behind.

Muying thought, this uncle's acting skills are really good, the tank suddenly cracked, it must have something to do with his operation last night, she wanted to see what his plan was.

The three walked to the water tank.

At this time, the waist-high water tank has been cracked until the bottom just reaches the knee, and there is still a puddle of water in it, and the things at the bottom of the water are more clearly visible.

Zhou Lihui squatted down and picked up a fragment of the vat wall, and touched the edge: "It turns out that the glass glue is rotten. This vat was broken by a wooden girl playing with a slingshot a few years ago. It has been many years, and the glue is not strong."

"It's a pity, it's a bit broken this time, I'm afraid it won't stick back together," Dad Mu said.

"Forget it, I don't have the leisure to raise flowers and fish, so I'll pull it out and throw it away later!" Zhou Lihui said as he was about to go out: "I'll find someone to borrow a cart."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Muying said.

Zhou Lihui looked back at her: "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that I didn't look at this tank carefully yesterday, I have to check it carefully." Mu Ying also held a fragment with glass glue in his hand.

There must be a ghost in this tank, the glass glue is probably not decayed naturally, but it was burnt by uncle with a lighter yesterday, right?

"Can't you see it clearly at a glance? There are some stones underneath, how can you hide the little gold bars?" Zhou Lihui was very puzzled, but he felt guilty for some reason when he saw Mu Ying's gaze: "Okay, okay, you Look, I'm going to borrow a car, and I'll take it and throw it away after you finish watching."

Mu Ying winked at her father, who immediately followed Zhou Lihui out.

As soon as they went out, Mu Ying overturned the remaining half of the water tank, and the water flowed all over the floor, and part of the stones and glass beads rolled out, revealing the bottom of the tank.

As she had seen through the water before, there was nothing hidden, and she carefully pulled the pile of stones and glass beads with her hands, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

No, as far as I can remember, these beads were from the checkers she played when she was a child. When she was in high school, she dug them out from the attic. The plastic chessboard was broken. She happened to see glass beads in a fish tank as decorations in a TV show. On a whim, I poured all the glass beads of checkers into my grandmother's fish tank.

The small leaves in the middle of the glass beads for checkers should have several colors, but now, the small leaves in these beads are all black.

Mu Ying picked out the beads one by one, that's right, 60, the number is not small, shouldn't it be 10 of each color, and it can accommodate up to six people to play chess at the same time?Why is it all black?

Could it be that someone else changed it later?She could think of no other possibility.

But these glass beads are transparent and cannot hide the gold, so she was just surprised and didn't pay much attention to it.

Attention shifted to the larger pebbles.

The space inside these stones is large enough. Although it looks like natural pebbles, Muying still doesn't want to let go of the slightest possibility, so Ma Liu went to find a big hammer.

When Zhou Lihui pushed the small trolley into the door, he heard the sound of knocking, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

It's over, it won't be discovered!

He took a closer look, and he let go of half of the breath he raised, which was okay.

"Mu girl, what are you doing? You don't suspect that I hid the gold bars in the stone, do you? The stone is fine, how can I have the ability to hide the gold in it?"

Muying didn't turn her head back, and continued to knock on the stones again and again, trying to smash the bigger pebbles, and stopped when the gold bars couldn't be hidden inside.

"Look, how could uncle lie to you? In your eyes, uncle is that cunning and greedy person? What are you doing in vain? Don't worry now?" Zhou Lihui went to get a broom and a shovel as he spoke, and mixed a shovel The gravel should be loaded into the car.

"Wait!" Muying set her sights on the pebbles that were originally placed at the bottom of the water tank: "Since you smashed it, smash it thoroughly!"

She didn't believe it, she smashed the tank, including everything in it, and couldn't find anything.

Although the gold bars cannot be hidden in the pebbles, what if the uncle melts the gold bars into little gold beans?In the pile of stones just in front of me, there are some colors that look like concrete, and the surface is rough.

She hit it with a hammer.

Zhou Lihui: "!!!"

The gray pebbles were broken into powder under the hammer, and the other pebbles were only broken into a few small pieces. The gray ones were indeed concrete pebbles, but there was no trace of gold.

Zhou Lihui breathed a sigh of relief: "You don't suspect that I hid the gold in a pebble, is it possible for this size?"

Muying didn't care what she said, she just smashed it when she said it was over, grabbed another handful of pebbles, and hammered down again.

Zhou Lihui was scared to death, he was finished, he was about to be exposed.

Soon, little golden beans were smashed out of some concrete pebbles.

"Lihui, didn't you say that all the gold bars are used up? What is this?" Papa Mu picked up the smashed little golden bean and asked Zhou Lihui.

Zhou Lihui knew that the gold couldn't be hidden anymore, and he couldn't find any way to make up for it, so he could only pretend: "I don't know, maybe there are gold mines in this stone? I borrowed gold bars, which is different from this!"

"Oh," Mu Ying sneered, "What kind of gold mine is growing in concrete? Didn't you melt it and wrap it in it? It's really unexpected!"

"Maybe it was hidden by someone else? This small stone is the construction waste brought back from the side of the road," Zhou Lihui still refused to admit it.

Mu Ying didn't bother to continue to argue, finding the things first was enough to slap him in the face.

Together with Mu Pa, she smashed the remaining stones all over, and sure enough there were more hidden inside.

"Since uncle thinks that the golden bean has nothing to do with you, then we will report it to the police and find the owner," Mu Ying said.

Zhou Lihui couldn't sit still when he heard this, he really lost everything when he called the police, and knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he broke the jar and said, "Yes, this is what I hid, what's wrong with me if you borrow some money? In [-], you lived better and better with the farmhouse, built buildings and saved a lot of money, what about me? I just want to run a farmhouse and make some money! Whoever asks me to borrow money directly, you will follow the bank It's like a beggar, if you only give me a little, I can only borrow money from my mother!"
