I trade in both worlds

Chapter 384 Instructions

Every night after Yang Sheng left, Lin Yi would take people to Xu Xu's house for a walk, but he never found any trace of Xu Xu and the children.

They saw Xu Xu appear during the day, but when they sneaked into Xu Xu's house at night, they could only face an empty house, and their hearts were full of confusion and doubts.

They began to speculate that perhaps Xu Xu had discovered their whereabouts and cleverly avoided their pursuit.

Or maybe the Xu family really did dig a secret room or secret passage, but they just haven't discovered it yet.

But no matter what the situation was, it made them feel unprecedented frustration and anxiety.

Ever since that night when Xu Jin accidentally ran into Yang Erzhu's men, Xu Xu has become more cautious.

Every night before returning to the modern era, she would pull out a long hair and tie it to the door bolt as a mark to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

And every morning when she came back, the first thing she would do was check that hair.

Sure enough, as she expected, the hair had broken, which meant that someone had sneaked into her home while she was away.

Xu Xu's heart was filled with vigilance and worry. She didn't know whether these people were sent by Xiao Xiangxiang or Yang Erzhu, but she knew that in either case, her family was facing great danger.

After several days and nights of careful consideration, he turned around and returned to the modern era.

Several children were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. When they saw Xu Xu come back, they hurried to the workshop.

After Xu Jin exchanged a glance with the others, he put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys continue eating, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he stood up and followed Xu Xu to the workshop, where he saw Xu Xu taking out a wooden box from a worn-out wooden box. Xu Xu opened the box and saw several land deeds inside.

"Sister, how did you find these?" Xu Jin asked curiously.

Xu Xu looked up at Xu Jin and explained, "Xiao Jin'er, I plan to take these deeds to my second uncle for safekeeping."

"If we can survive this crisis, these deeds will naturally return to us. But if...if we can't come back, then these deeds will be a token of gratitude for Second Uncle's care over the years."

These deeds were the result of their parents' hard work over the years, but now they had to hand them over, and they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

Xu Jin was stunned, then nodded in agreement: "Then I'll send it to my second uncle."

His heart ached and he was reluctant, but if they really couldn't come back, there would be no point in keeping these deeds in their hands.

"You don't have to go, I'll go. Both of you should stay away from others." After saying that, Xu Xu turned and left.

Xu Xu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the house of Xu Jizong's family not far away. She was thinking whether to go to Xu Jizong's house herself or ask someone to take a message to invite Xu Jizong to come over.

Just then, she saw Xiao Shitou, a kid from next door, running past her house with a group of kids.

Xu Xu quickly called him over: "Little Stone, can you help your aunt?"

Little Stone stopped and looked at Xu Xu curiously: "Aunt Xu Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Xu smiled and said, "Could you please go to my second uncle's house and ask him to come to my house when he is free? Just tell him that I have something important to tell him."

Little Stone readily agreed: "Okay, Aunt Xu Xu, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he ran away with a group of children.

Not long after, Xu Jizong hurried to Xu Xu's house.

He looked at Xu Xu and asked worriedly, "Xu Xu, what do you want to talk to me about? Is there any trouble?"

Xu Xu handed the deeds in his hand to Xu Jizong and said solemnly: "Uncle, please keep these deeds for me first. If...if we can survive this crisis safely, I will come and take them back myself."

"If...if we can't come back, please help visit our parents' graves during the New Year and tell them that we are fine and that they don't need to worry."

Xu Jizong took the deed and understood about 80% of it. He looked at Xu Xu, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, and sighed and said, "Your parents are my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I would have done it even if you didn't say it. You...you have to come back."

Xu Xu's lips trembled, and he choked up as he said, "Second Uncle, we will be fine, and we will never forget that this is our root."

In fact, she has been feeling restless these days, as if she is about to lose something. She feels both uncomfortable and powerless.

She knew that this might be a sign that the gate of time and space would close, but she didn't know when and how it would close.

Xu Jizong nodded, patted Xu Xu's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Xuzhuang will always be your home. No matter what happens, I will be here waiting for you to come back."

"Okay." Xu Xu said in a hoarse voice, tears welling up in his eyes.

After Xu Jizong left, Xu Xu stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the familiar courtyard, tears unconsciously rolling down her cheeks.

These past few days, she has been feeling uneasy. An inexplicable panic grips her heart, making it difficult for her to find peace.

She prayed silently that the passage could be closed later to give them more time to operate so that they could continue to stay in their home.

Xu Xu looked up and looked around. Every inch of land and every brick and tile of this home carried her memories.

This is where she has lived for more than thirty years, from her toddler years to adolescence, and then to marriage and the birth of children. This place has witnessed her growth and changes.

Every piece of furniture in the main room carries the happy times she spent with her family. Her thoughts drifted back to her distant childhood, and the scene of her parents playing with her in this yard seemed to be right in front of her, so warm and beautiful.

However, those good times are long gone, leaving only deep nostalgia and endless attachment.

When he thought of this, Xu Xu could no longer control his emotions. He slid down to sit on the doorstep, hugged himself and cried bitterly.

I don’t know how long it took, but she finally got tired of crying, and her tear-stained face looked particularly haggard.

After Xu Xu returned to the modern world, a carrier pigeon flew into Lingshan.

Xiao Xiangxiang's chief bodyguard Lin Yi received an order to make Xu Qiwei and Xu Xu disappear from this world completely.

When Lin Yi brought his guards to the courtyard again, the courtyard was still quiet, as if even the wind had stopped breathing.

"Boss, will the Xu family escape?" a guard asked hesitantly.

"Impossible." Lin Yi said firmly: "Our people have been keeping an eye on this place, they have no chance to escape. Keep searching, we must find them!"

He signaled the guards to disperse, surround the entire courtyard, and then began to search carefully.

They searched every corner of the yard and even climbed onto the roof, trying to find a clue. However, everything was in vain.
