Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 108 Something big happened
I heard that this mountain is very big, very big. Captain Wen said it is dangerous in the deep mountains... Well, what is that? Tao Qiuyi used a small flashlight to shine on the gold bars in his hand.

Sure enough, I saw a graphic, like a printed mark or something.

After taking a closer look, it doesn't look like an ancient official seal, but rather a seal of a modern business.

Could it be that this batch of gold bars was stolen by bandits and hidden here? There used to be bandits in this mountain, but even if there were, there are definitely no bandits now.

So, this is the property left behind by the bandits.

No matter who left it, he would take it away first. Tao Qiuyi picked up the last gold bar and put it in the box. He closed the lid and put his hand on the box. The box instantly disappeared from its original place.

Tao Qiuyi quickly counted over a dozen boxes and put them into the ring space.

The seven birds were stunned.

Where's the chest? Where's the gold? They're all gone.

Tao Qiuyi walked around the stone house with a flashlight to make sure nothing was left. He checked again to make sure there were no other mechanisms before walking outside.

When the birds saw her leaving, they fluttered their wings and tried to catch up with her, chirping and asking.

"Where's the box? Where's the gold?"

"Why is it missing?"

"Yes, it's gone in the blink of an eye."

"Where have you been? I saw your hand on the box, and it disappeared."

"Did you hide the box?"

"Where are you hiding? How come we can't see you?"

The chirping of birds was really noisy, and Tao Qiuyi was annoyed by it. She secretly decided that when she had free time, she would teach these birds how to speak correctly.

After leaving the cave, Tao Qiuyi restored the branch to its original shape and then answered the birds' questions. "It's hidden in a very safe place. No one can find it except me."

"Will you use it to buy us food?" asked a bird.

"No." Tao Qiuyi answered as he walked, "There's something wrong with this batch of gold. Taking it out will bring disaster."

The birds fell silent. The weather was getting colder and colder. Many humans had no food to survive the winter, let alone the birds.

Before the snow falls, it is not easy for them to find food every day. When the snow falls, they find it even harder to find food. They either starve to death, freeze to death, or become human food.

They were happy that this human was willing to feed them, but they also knew that humans didn't have much food.

Fortunately, she could understand their words. They brought her to this cave and asked her to take the gold. She had thought that this winter would be easier, but...

The birds were silent, and Tao Qiuyi guessed that they might be worried that he would no longer raise them.

"Don't worry, I promised to support you, and I will definitely not let you starve to death." Tao Qiuyi promised.

The birds instantly became energetic, flying around Tao Qiuyi and chirping like a pot of boiling water.

"Really?"

"Are you still willing to support us?"

"Have you anything to eat?"

"Do you have enough food at home?"

"I see there's a man and a half-grown man in your family. They both eat a lot, and there's also a girl. Do you have enough food?" "Will the men in your family treat us as food?"

"Don't worry, we have enough food at home, and my husband... won't treat you as food." Tao Qiuyi shook his head. These birds are really worrying too much.

Tao Qiuyi stopped and casually broke off a branch. He looked at the seven birds and said, "Stand in line. I have a task for you."

The birds looked at each other, flew onto the branch in Tao Qiuyi's hand, lined up in a row and stood still.

Tao Qiuyi said: "I will put food on the roof for you every day. If you are hungry, you can come to my roof to eat."

"Keep an eye on that cave. If anyone comes to the cave, send one or two companions to follow them. Find their whereabouts and come back to tell me."

"There's a family in the village. I want you to keep an eye on them. Which two birds are willing to follow me down the mountain?"

The birds looked around, and the other five birds flew away, leaving two birds on the branch.

Tao Qiuyi was very satisfied with the birds' performance and decided to put rice on the roof as a reward for the birds tomorrow. As she was dragging a dead tree down, two birds flew over her head.

The people in the village were used to seeing her dragging a dead tree back. Tao Qiuyi sent the two birds to the Huang family and went back.

Tao Qiuyi frowned when he saw a small figure running towards him from afar. It was so cold, why did Li Zi come out instead of warming herself by the fire in the house?
"Sister-in-law, you're back. Something...big happened." Li Zi stopped in front of Tao Qiuyi and said breathlessly.

"Tell me slowly what happened." Putting down the big tree in his hand, Tao Qiuyi reached out and patted Li Zi's back to help her calm down.

As for what Li Zi said about a big incident, Tao Qiuyi disagreed. For a person who died and traveled through time to continue living here, nothing could be considered a big deal.

He took several deep breaths to calm his somewhat heavy breathing.

"It was Grandma, my eldest aunt, Third Aunt and the others," Li Zi said. "Grandma came back this afternoon and scolded Xiao Huai and me when she saw us."

"I bet you and Xiao Huai don't dare to argue with her, and can only let her scold you two." Tao Qiuyi teased with a smile.

Li Zi pouted and choked, "She's my grandmother, and Xiao Huai and I are her grandchildren. No matter how she beats or scolds us, we can only endure it."

"Lizi, what you said is not right." Tao Qiuyi took the opportunity to lecture her, "Comrade Li Hongying is your grandmother. If she treats you well, you respect her and honor her, which is filial piety. If she treats you badly, and you still obey her every word, that is foolish filial piety."

"Throughout history, those who are foolishly filial almost always end up harming themselves and others, and there will be no good results."

"Are foolishly filial people so scary?" Li Zi asked with her innocent eyes blinking. She had been to school and knew that harming others and yourself would not have a good result.

Tao Qiuyi nodded, "It's very scary. If you are unlucky enough to encounter it one day, remember to stay away from it."

Li Zi nodded heavily, indicating that she must agree with her sister-in-law's words.

Tao Qiuyi liked Li Zi's well-behaved appearance the most. He patted her thin shoulders gently, bent down, held the branch of the dead tree, and dragged the dead tree and Li Zi back side by side.

Looking at the dead tree that Tao Qiuyi was dragging away, Li Zi's face showed no surprise. She was very conflicted at the moment.

After thinking about it again and again, I finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Sister-in-law, if my brother is a foolish and filial person, will you leave him?"

"Of course I will!" Tao Qiuyi said with a look on his face, "If your elder brother is a foolish filial son, I will definitely stay as far away from him as possible."

"How far is far enough?" Li Zi asked weakly.

"It's so far away that I'll never see you again in this life." Tao Qiuyi replied.

Never seeing each other in this life is indeed very far away. Li Zi couldn't imagine that she would never see her elder sister-in-law again. She secretly decided in her heart that she must remind her elder brother not to be a foolish filial person.
