Chapter 337: Chapter 127: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Piece Novel (14)

He had a meter-long locked wooden chest with several books on it. A cloth pouch on the wall held miscellaneous items, and next to it were piles of bedding, clothes, shoes, and toiletries. Everything was simple, seemingly visible at a glance.

A smirk touched Chi Yun’er’s lips. She walked over to the kang’s fire pit, crouched down, and began feeling around inside.

The Educated Youth were particular. They could make do in other areas, but their sleeping quarters had to be dry and comfortable. To prevent pests like snakes and insects from taking up residence, the kang’s fire pit was built with gray bricks!

’Jiang Zishi was just too arrogant. In her past life, after he returned to the village in glory with Bian Yumin, he would come to visit her in her madness from time to time—for some unfathomable reason.’

’When no one was around, he would even tell her many of his secrets, including how he managed to hide a fortune in a dorm room shared by seven or eight people. It was as if he was using her as a personal dumping ground for his confessions, just to feel more superior.’

’He never imagined that his provocations would shock her into a moment of lucidity, allowing her to memorize his secrets word for word. And he certainly never imagined that she would be reborn, destined to make all his schemes come to nothing!’

Sure enough, Chi Yun’er’s fingers brushed against a sharp stone. She yanked it out. No longer held in place, the adjacent gray brick slipped free, but she caught it swiftly.

She reached her hand back in. Behind where the brick had been was a fist-sized hole. Anyone unaware of the situation would surely assume it was a rat’s nest or a snake’s den and be too frightened to investigate further.

Chi Yun’er pulled out three tightly wrapped cylindrical objects, one after another. Instead of examining them immediately, she slid the gray brick back into place.

Brushing the dust from her clothes, Chi Yun’er walked over to Jiang Zishi’s bunk. She memorized the position of every object, right down to two barely perceptible hairs he had placed in the seam of the chest as a makeshift alarm.

She swiftly moved the books, skillfully unlocked the chest, and opened it. After taking a quick glance inside to memorize the general arrangement of its contents, she closed it again.

Chi Yun’er tilted the chest onto its side. Unsurprisingly, she found three more tightly wrapped paper packets stuck to the bottom.

In the pocket of Jiang Zishi’s winter coat was a small amount of spending money. In a corner of the chest, there was also a neat roll of cash and coupons held together by a rubber band.

She unceremoniously scooped up everything. Only then, satisfied, did she quickly put everything back in its place, relock the chest, and leave.
