The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1236 - 1204: Those Familiar Eyes

Just as they were talking, Qi Daniu came in.

"Daniu, today isn’t Sunday, and it’s still morning, you have classes, why did you come here?" He Tiantian was surprised, usually, Qi Daniu would come over at night.

Qi Daniu hesitated, seeing Qi Zhengmin by her side.

"What’s wrong?" asked Qi Zhengmin. "Is it inconvenient for you to talk because I’m here, Sister Daniu?"

Daniu said sheepishly, "It’s not that it’s inconvenient, it’s just a bit scary, I’m afraid it might scare you!"

Qi Zhengmin was startled and asked, "What’s so scary? Now that you’ve said it, I’m even more curious to know."

"Zhengmin is one of us, just say it, it’s fine. Besides, she has a lot of courage, you won’t scare her," said He Tiantian with a smile, it’s all calm now, it shouldn’t be anything serious.

When He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin said so, Qi Daniu no longer hesitated and said, "Sister Tiantian, do you remember back when you were in our village, we were cutting grass on the mountain and encountered a gang of vicious tomb robbers? It was very dangerous, if we hadn’t been so lucky, we might have been killed by them."

He Tiantian thought for a moment and nodded, "I remember now, that did happen. Qi Ling himself came to lead the arrest, but there were still some that got away. We were indeed lucky not to have died."

"Yes," Qi Daniu said, "thinking about it now, I still feel scared."

"By the way, after so many years, why did you suddenly remember that?" He Tiantian became even more curious about this matter - normally, after such a long time, one would not be affected by it.

Qi Daniu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Tiantian, yesterday I was on the mountain, with students on an autumn field trip, I encountered two people. One of them gave me the same kind of vibe as those people from back then. Plus, when that person saw me, their eyes, they were scary, but it was just a flash and then they disappeared. But I’m sure I didn’t see it wrong."

He Tiantian frowned and asked, "Is that person still in Qijia Village?"

"He is. I heard from a student in my class that his family owns a tea shop, and right next door is a stationery store, that person is the owner," said Qi Daniu. "I wanted to go take a look myself, but I didn’t dare to."

"If you feel there is danger, then don’t go," instructed He Tiantian. "Whether it’s true or not, don’t show it."

"Right." Qi Daniu nodded. "I shouldn’t have shown too much at the time, but in my mind, these past few days I keep flashing back to that person from back then and this person now. Although it’s been over a decade and their appearance has changed a bit, I feel like the eyes, the look in them, hasn’t changed."

"Okay, I got it. I’ll send someone to investigate," said He Tiantian. "You, on the other hand, should try not to walk alone when you go out, it’s safer to be with other people."

"I’ll be careful," Qi Daniu promised.

Qi Zhengmin listened carefully to the conversation between Qi Daniu and He Tiantian and after they finished talking, she curiously asked, "I heard from my grandmother that the big hot spring outlet on the mountain was actually a big burial site. Before experts came to excavate, it was visited by tomb robbers."

"Yes, those tomb robbers were quite astute. They discovered not just one tomb, but a second one. Many things were taken away by the tomb robbers, and they also caused damage, ruining many good things," explained He Tiantian. "I’m curious, if it really is tomb robbers, they must have found something good here."

"Now that our village is doing so well, I don’t want these people to cause any harm. With the development of tourism, there are a lot of people coming and going. If those people have ill intentions, they might harm tourists," said Qi Daniu. She had witnessed Qi Family’s village going from poverty to wealth, becoming beautiful, and didn’t want anyone to ruin its current state of prosperity. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Qi Zhengmin nodded and said, "Sister Tiantian, someone should really investigate this properly."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I will arrange for this matter. None of you should take matters into your own hands."

"Mhm," Qi Zhengmin and Qi Daniu agreed.

In the afternoon, He Tiantian took the children up the mountain. There were many pastries made at home to be delivered to Cui Ying and others at the Dragon King Temple.

On the way, several children excitedly climbed the stairs, racing each other.

He Tiantian walked while admiring the surrounding scenery.

When they passed the fork in the road near the Peach Orchard, they encountered two individuals.

He Tiantian took a few extra glances, and the individual also looked back at He Tiantian, then turned around and left.

Even though the person did not show any hostility towards He Tiantian, she felt that the eyes were very familiar.

Yes, familiar.

In the past, when He Tiantian encountered such situations, she would dismiss it as someone she had seen before but now couldn’t remember, not making anything of it, which is how she missed the opportunity to find out more about Liu Lingli in Nan City.

This time, the feeling came again, and she couldn’t let it slip by.

However, she was with her children now, and although she had the Xiyu Flower hairpin, she couldn’t create an overly fantastical scene in front of the tourists.

Everything would be discussed after they reached the top of the mountain and found Cui Ying and others.

Ah, Huo Yingjie didn’t come. If Brother Yingjie were here, she’d have him deal with it directly.

Meanwhile, Little Rotating Turtle, not far behind, noticed her mother in deep thought and ran over to ask, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," He Tiantian said. There were too many people around now, she would speak to Little Rotating Turtle about it in the evening, and she could also have Little Rotating Turtle quietly look into it.

"Mom definitely has something on her mind, you just won’t tell Xuanxuan," said Little Rotating Turtle. "Is it because Xuanxuan has become small and useless?"

"Of course not," He Tiantian laughed. "Don’t worry, mom will tell Xuanxuan tonight."

"Mhm," Little Rotating Turtle said, foregoing joining the others and staying by He Tiantian’s side.

Upon reaching the mountain top, Cui Ying was teaching the children martial arts.

The child looked somewhat like Cui Ying, He Tiantian took out the pastries and placed them on the stone table, "Huawei, it’s snack time."

Huawei smiled very cheerfully and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tiantian, but I haven’t completed my horse stance yet."

"Come on, the kid is so small, and seeing others eat, he must be craving," He Tiantian said. "Give me some face, let the child have some snacks."

Seeing He Tiantian saying this, and her son swallowing his saliva, Cui Ying scolded, "As soon as you come, you spoil my child."

"Not true!" He Tiantian objected. "Your Huawei is so well-behaved, it’s not because I spoil him."

"Alright then, go have some snacks," Cui Ying said. "Don’t forget to thank Aunt Tiantian and the other brothers and sisters."

"Mhm, thank you, Aunt Tiantian, brothers, and sisters." Huawei, a five-year-old plump child, was very sturdy and cheerful, with a love for laughter.

No matter who he met, he was always smiling.

The children also liked Huawei and shared the snacks with him.
