After she got home and put her things, Su Xiaoxiao took a short handled shovel and quietly went out!

Whether there was buried treasure or not, you would know when you dug it! 

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the location where Father Su and Su Ergou had secretly attacked Wei Ting, the traces of the previous fight had long gone. The broken carriage had also already been burned by nearby villagers as firewood. 

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the ice and snow on the ground, and pondered, if she were Wei Ting, in such a critical moment…… where would she hide her belongings?

“There are main roads in the north and south, a small forest on the east, and a crop field across a ditch on the west side. It can’t be buried in the crop field…… If someone casually plows the ground, or digs a few vegetables, the treasures will be exposed.” 

“The forest is about 30 steps away, Dahu and the others were in the carriage, so he wouldn’t be able to go too far……” 

“The ditch!” 

In winter, there was no water in the ditches, so it would be the best place to hide things! 

Of course, this was Su Xiaoxiao’s preliminary guess, and whether it was correct or not still needed to be validated.

“It’s time to verify the theory!” 

Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the edge of the ditch. First, she randomly chose a point, and rolled up her sleeves to dig. 

Truthfully saying, although Wei Ting’s bandage was ugly, it was very thick. So it didn’t hurt at all when she grabbed the shovel! 

-Old shovel 

Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby body squatted on the ground, she was digging with a loud noise!  

As she dug, she would occasionally look back to see if Wei Ting had caught up with her. 

She was like a sneaky chubby little squirrel!

“There’s nothing.” 

She frowned.

Just keep digging!

When she was digging the third pit, she suddenly felt a terrifying murderous aura attack.

“Who is that!” 

A stern voice of a man came from behind. 

It was not Wei Ting’s voice.

Stay calm, don’t panic.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, calmly turning her head.

Huh? 

Weren’t these two men in black were the ones who galloped their horses on the main road before? 

Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to remember and asked, “Who are you?” 

They were also surprised.

Wasn’t this the little chubby village girl from earlier? 

How could she be here?

Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative by striking first and said solemnly, “I’m asking you! You guys look unfamiliar, not like people from the nearby villages! Who are you guys!” 

The two exchanged glances.

The square faced man, the guard who had noticed Wei Ting just now, looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, “We are just passing by, and you little girl, looking suspicious on such a snowy day, what are you doing by squatting on the roadside?” 

-The square faced man

“It has nothing to do with you!” Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely.

Sometimes, the more confident a person was, the most likely that person wouldn’t be suspected. 

She got up and dusted the snow off the shovel, and with a depressed face, she said, “So annoying! All of the prey are scared away by you guys! I’m not digging anymore!” 

The guard with a square face asked suspiciously, “What kind of prey is buried in the snow?” 

Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and exploded, “I’m digging worms ah! I’m going to use it as bait to catch wild pheasants in the forest! You guys are so noisy! The pheasants are all gone because you guys are so noisy!” 

-Angrily put the hands on the hips

The two people: “……” 

In the end, who’s making more noise ah? 

The companion whispered, “She looks like a villager from the neighborhood. Should we ask her about it?” 

The square faced man pondered for a moment and then vetoed, “Forget it, don’t stir the grass and startle the snake*.” 

*Stir the grass and startle the snake (idiom) : to inadvertently alert an enemy / to punish somebody as a warning to others. 

Su Xiaoxiao took the shovel and left.

The two had already dispelled their doubts about her.

But at this exact moment, something unexpected happened. 

Su Xiaoxiao’s personal purse leaked, and a shiny black token landed in the ground with a clank.

-The black token of authority 

Everyone in the scene was quiet!

Su Xiaoxiao bent down her chubby waist in a swish and picked up the token, then she stuffed it into her bosom!
