"What should I do later?"

On the way back to the rented apartment, Guo Qi felt very anxious, and his mental state seemed to be off.

The June sun was scorching the ground, and Guo Qi walked with his head down, recalling what just happened in the restaurant. His whole body was like a dried radish in the sun, looking listless and listless.

This morning, the construction site paid him last month's salary. Seeing the several hundred yuan in his hands, Guo Qi was very happy. This was what he got from carrying cement for a month, so he wanted to take the money to a nearby restaurant to eat a good meal and reward himself.

After arriving at the small restaurant, Guo Qi ordered a serving of shredded meat with green pepper, two bottles of beer and a bowl of noodles. Although it was a small restaurant, the chef's culinary skills were not bad.

Just as he was about to pay the bill for a full meal, Guo Qi reached into his pocket and his heart skipped a beat. The 400 yuan in his pocket disappeared without a trace.

"Where's my money?"

Stunned, Guo Qi quickly stood up to rummage through his clothes for the money. He couldn't wait to take off his clothes and look for it.

He had worked so hard to earn 400 yuan in the past month. He had clearly brought it with him just now, but now he said that it was gone and it just disappeared. Guo Qi stood there dumbfounded, his heart was cold and he didn't know what to do.

"Did any of you see my money? I don't have four hundred dollars left … "

His voice was a little hoarse, Guo Qi ignored everything else and pulled at the collar of the person beside him with both hands as he loudly questioned. This scared many people so much that their faces turned white, not knowing what exactly had happened.

"Young man, what are you doing? How can you do this?"

The boss walked over with a tray and saw Guo Qi stirring up trouble in his restaurant. It wouldn't be worth it if it affected her business, but she couldn't just ignore him.

"I... I lost my four hundred dollars. I had it with me when I came. It was in this pocket. "

As he said that, Guo Qi opened up his pocket for the shop owner to see, proving that he wasn't lying to her.

The shop owner, who looked to be in her thirties, did not scold Guo Qi directly without thinking. Instead, she followed Guo Qi's words and turned her head to look at the pocket that Guo Qi had opened.

Looking at Guo Qi's pockets, especially the part under the hood, the shop owner immediately understood what was going on.

The shop owner said, "Big brother, look at the part under your hood, there's a gap there. Your money must have been stolen."

Guo Qi was worried about his money so much that he didn't check his pockets carefully to see if they were broken. Now that the shop owner had reminded him, Guo Qi noticed that there was an opening underneath the pocket. This was the opening, and it just so happened that he lost his money.

"My money …"

The money that he painstakingly earned after a month of hard work, which was earned by splashing droplets of sweat on the ground into several pieces, disappeared just like that. Guo Qi collapsed onto the ground, his eyes filled with regret.

If not for his carelessness and the fact that he wanted to reward him, how could he have thrown away his four hundred yuan bet? Guo Qi's eyes glazed over as he slapped his face twice, then put his head on his knees and sobbed.

Guo Qi came from the countryside to work in the city. His parents died early, he grew up eating a hundred meals, and now he was almost 20 years old. From the village to Ming City, he rode in Guo Meifeng's car, and before he left, Guo Meifeng had not yet paid her back.

He had been looking for a job in Ming City for a long time, but he didn't know anything. However, he was from the countryside, so he had endless energy. When he thought of the construction site, he went to the construction site to pick up cement.

Guo Qi originally planned to save several hundred yuan for this meal and help build a road for the village when he got back, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen? He felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Since the money had been stolen, the shop owner was reasonable and didn't make things difficult for Guo Qi. She let Guo Qi deliver the money to her when he had the money, then continued to busy himself after he was done.

The money from last month was barely enough for him to eat. Although the house he lived in wasn't very good, it still cost him over 100 yuan a month. Now that his 400 yuan had been stolen, he really didn't know how to tell the landlord about this.

"Little Qi is back?"

Just as Guo Qi reached the door of his rented apartment, he heard a woman's voice behind him. Although the voice was pleasant to hear, this was the voice that Guo Qi was most afraid of.

The landlady was a woman in her twenties, not much older than Guo Qi, who was usually busy working at the construction site. When he got home, he was too tired to move, so he didn't say much to the landlady.

It had been almost a month since he arrived in Ming City, Guo Qi's previous payment was barely enough to eat. This time, he really had no way to pay the rent, but he didn't want to find anything in front of the landlord since he was afraid that the landlord's spittle would fly all over the place.

He was most afraid of meeting the landlord at this time, but the landlord just happened to be here when Guo Qi came back. Guo Qi really wanted to know that today was not the day to pay rent, and really wanted to avoid having his money stolen.

"Sister Han, you called me?" Guo Qi forced a smile on his face, his heart thumped non-stop as he turned his head and said.

"Yeah, today …"

"Sister Han, my stomach isn't feeling well. I'm going to the toilet first. If anything happens, you can tell me about it when I go to your place."

The landlady's surname was Han, as for what his name was, Guo Qi didn't know. Sometimes, when they met, he would greet her and call her Sister Han. Now that he heard the landlady Sister Han say today, Guo Qi's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He didn't have any money on him, not even for dinner tonight. Guo Qi could only bite the bullet and run away, not caring about Sister Han who covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head helplessly.

"This child, if he wants to introduce a neighbor to him, it'll be troublesome." Looking at Guo Qi running away in a hurry, Sister Han mumbled to herself.

"Whooosh."

It was a hot and urgent day. By the time Guo Qi stopped, his back was covered in sweat. He leaned against the door and panted heavily. He still had not recovered from his panic.

After calming his breathing, Guo Qi laid down on the bed like a deflated balloon and fell asleep. In his dreams, Guo Qi was still running, afraid that the landlord would chase after him if he didn't continue running.

"Little Guo, open the door. Hurry up and open the door."

In a daze, Guo Qi heard a series of rapid knocks on the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched lazily and went to open the door.

"Third brother, it's you, what's the matter?"

Standing outside the door of Guo Qi's room was a villager from Guo Qi, who had started working earlier than Guo Ming City. Everyone called him San Ran, but he was no fool. He grew up together with Guo Qi, and could be considered to be wearing the same pair of pants.

Although they were all working at the same construction site, San Ran was a carpenter, and Guo Qi was a cement bearer. San Ran rarely came to Guo Qi's place, but today he suddenly came.

"Come on, let's take you to see something good." As if he was playing a treasure on purpose, San Ran pulled Guo Qi's hand mysteriously and was about to leave.

"Third Brother, what are we going to look at? This is such a hot day, did it get dark?" I think it's better if I stay in the house and rest. I still have work to do tomorrow. "

Being confused by Sanlang's words, Guo Qi wanted to use the hot weather as an excuse, but when he raised his head to look at the sky, it was already almost dark. He slept until nightfall, but thinking that he still had to work tomorrow, Guo Qi didn't want to go out.

"Stop wasting time, you'll know once we get there. When the time comes, I guarantee that you'll still want to see it."

Finishing his words, he didn't bother about Guo Qi trying to break free. Instead, he pulled Guo Qi along and ran outside.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."

Sanlang held Guo Qi's hand and ran towards the construction site. Not far from the construction site, Guo Qi could hear the sound of water splashing. It was already dark, and there should be quite a few female workers taking a shower.

"Third Brother, what do you think I'm looking at? If you don't tell me, then I'll go back now."

If San Ran wanted to see a woman, he couldn't go with her. How could he do those bad things? Guo Qi pulled San Ran away from him and held his hand.

"Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, there won't be any more chances in the future. Right now, everyone is eating and bathing."

He first looked around to see if there was anyone around, then as if he was guarding against thieves, he whispered into Guo Qi's ear with his hand.

"What on earth is going on? Why is it happening in such a mysterious manner? You aren't going to watch a woman bathe, are you?" "If I see a woman taking a bath, then I'll go back, get caught, and I won't be able to raise my head in the future.

San Ran just didn't want to say what it was about. Guo Qi told him his guesses. If he went to watch a woman take a bath and was caught, he would be poked in the spine. He would be too despicable in the future.

"What woman are you looking at? If you have money in the future, why don't you look at her?" Why couldn't he see it? "Look at you, if it wasn't for the fact that we both fell together in the mud since we were young, I wouldn't have brought you here today."

Guo Qi had no parents since he was young, and the villagers all took care of him, so he was very honest with them. When he thought about the possibility of doing something bad, he couldn't help but look down on them.

"Let me tell you, we are going to make a fortune this time. You don't know, there is a cave dug out at the construction site this afternoon. It might even be the tomb of some ancient emperor."

It is said that there is a popular tomb robbing in a province. You don't know that those people are so skilled that they can casually grab a handful of mud to find out if there are any treasures underground. I guess that this place is probably the tomb of an ancient emperor or a high ranking official.

San Ranzi's family was better off than Guo Qi's. A black and white TV had seen a lot of news, so when he saw the news about his treasure being rich, even in his dreams he dreamed of being able to dig up treasure from the tomb. That way, he could drink and eat dumplings every day.

"Third Brother, where is that place? I got into some trouble at noon and went home to sleep, and I didn't even know this was going to happen at the construction site. "

Hearing that the construction site had dug out a tomb, Guo Qi was curious. Since it was night time and no one was around, the two of them went down to take a look. If they could find some ancient treasures, they could just sell them and pay the rent.

"The ancient tomb is right here... Wait, there's someone here. Holy shit, hurry up and hide. Oh no! Why would a person dressed in white come over at this time? "Quickly hide …"
