Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Lucky Star Control Corporation in the 70s (36)

Shou Hou’er officially became the two’s younger brother. He carried the tools and the rabbit behind his back, and watched them from time to time, for fear that they would quarrel.

Chu Xiang followed Yin Xu to a very hidden place, so hidden that if no one led the way, Chu Xiang wouldn’t have found it.

Yin Xu squatted on the ground and moved around to observe. He took stock of everything carefully, and after a while, he patted a place and said, “This is it, Shou Hou’er, dig carefully.”

“Okay!” Shou Hou’er handed the rabbit to Yin Xu, and quickly dug out the spot.

Chu Xiang leaned on the edge and asked, “What’s under this? Don’t tell me you two are tomb raiders, are you?”

Shou Hou’er shuddered. “Sister-in-law, don’t scare me. I’m most afraid of ghosts. I won’t dare to rob a tomb no matter what.”

“So what’s this? A treasure?” Chu Xiang had been to numerous secret realms in the cultivation world, looking for countless treasures, but in this day and age, it felt impossible. Still, her curiosity was quite piqued.

Yin Xu leaned forward and said, “About the same. During the war, our village was occupied by the Japanese. Later, when we were defeated, they hid their gold, silver, treasure and antiques that were too difficult to carry, and no one ever found them. My leg… From my experience of being injured in the military, it’s very difficult to recover. By then, it will be inconvenient for me to do anything in the future, so I’m trying to hunt them.”

Shou Hou’er said with great admiration, “Sister-in-law, Brother Xu is amazing! So many people have failed to find the treasures, but he did. He is more powerful than others in the army, and is especially valued by the head of the regiment. If I may say so, Brother Xu, you should keep doing this now that you are discharged from the army. Why toil every day? If your leg had not been broken this time, I’m afraid that Aunt Yin and Yin Qiuwen would have been suffering. If Brother Xu had not mentioned this, I would have forever thought that the rumors about the treasures were just rumors.”

“You can’t totally say they are treasures. The last time we found something, it was not worth much. I hope this will be worth much more this time. I don’t have any other leads to find somewhere else either.” Yin Xu took this as a windfall in this period of emergency. He didn’t take it seriously. He still wanted to go to the county to do business once his bones recovered.

He looked at Chu Xiang and asked, “Are you afraid?”

Chu Xiang calmly replied, “Why should I be? It’s profitable, but just be careful. When the time comes, I’ll go and sell them with Shou Hou’er. Nobody can ever find what I hide.”

Yin Xu looked at her, and after half a minute, he agreed, “Okay.”

Shou Hou’er looked up at Yin Xu somewhat in surprise. He was really surprised. He was surprised when Yin Xu told Chu Xiang such a secret operation, yet now he even agreed to involve her. He was trusting her too much, right? Were they really a fake couple?

However, Shou Hou’er has followed Yin Xu since he was a child. He had never seen Yin Xu make a wrong decision. After brooding over it, he didn’t care. He lowered his head and worked hard to dig things. Seeing the look on Chu Xiang’s face, she didn’t look like some kind of fuel-efficient lamp either. He couldn’t take charge, so let the two of them discuss the business on their own. After all, they were the people on the household register book.

Chu Xiang felt bored from waiting. When she saw a river nearby, she went to catch fish. Yin Xu thought for a moment, carried the rabbit and followed her. He really couldn’t figure out how Chu Xiang caught the rabbit. But then, he saw Chu Xiang put the bamboo basket into the water and caught two fish!

Are the fish in the mountains so stupid? As stupid as the rabbit? Can they crash into her?

Chu Xiang looked behind her and captured Yin Xu’s expression, and felt that if Yin Xu’s thoughts could materialize, he must be brimming with questions now. She laughed when she remembered that kind of emoji, but Yin Xu snorted lightly. “What are you laughing at? Who wouldn’t be stunned at the sight of you? With your skills, you can catch anything, so there’s no need to worry about food anywhere you go.”

Chu Xiang came back with the basket and said with a smile, “I, I am the reincarnation of a lucky star. You’ve caught a fortune, and you are lucky to have married a blessed one.”

Thinking of the smiling faces of his mother and sister these days, Yin Xu didn’t refute her. He looked at the fish and said, “Take a straw rope and string them up, Little Lucky Star.”

“I don’t know how. You do it.” Chu Xiang rightfully put the basket into Yin Xu’s hand, sat on the stone on the side and stretched. “We’ve got food for today and tomorrow. Eat more healthy food. Maybe you and Mom’s health will get better.”

Yin Xu slowly sat down on the ground, put the rabbit between his arms and started to form a straw rope. He asked curiously, “How can you and my mother get along so well? She treats you like a daughter, and you also call her ‘Mom’ quite smoothly.”

“Mother is nice, and it has always been my dream to have one.” Chu Xiang grabbed the straw rope. She wasn’t resistant to calling someone “Mom” whoever she might be. After all, no one was her real mother wherever she traveled. Of course, people who treated her badly couldn’t enjoy this treatment.

Yang Yuelan had a good personality and treated her well. They were also destined to become a family. Regardless of her being her mother-in-law, she treated her as her own mother without any hindrance. They were like her relatives whom she got along well with in other worlds.

Yin Xu always felt that Chu Xiang was different from others, but this difference was a good thing, and he didn’t want to explore it. He pondered how to officially take the “money” he dug up and discussed with Chu Xiang: “You cook so deliciously. How about cooking something simple and selling it? Then we can claim that the money is earned from selling food.”

Chu Xiang smiled faintly. “I’ll instruct you, and you do the work.”
