After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 929

Chapter 929: The Locusts Pass Through
Alright.

Zhouzhou stepped aside to let him through.

Lu Shi examined the structure of the lock, pressed his ear against it, and slowly turned the knob on top.

Curious, Zhouzhou leaned in as well, pressing her ear to the lock.

De Qin sneered contemptuously; after all, this was a safe he had bought at a high price, and not even the world’s greatest thief could open it.

Most importantly, if the wrong password was entered, it would trigger a bomb inside.

But he certainly wouldn’t tell them that.

Just then, with a click, the lock opened.

His smile froze on his face, his eyes wide in disbelief. How could this be possible?

No way, absolutely no way!

He shook his head vigorously, unwilling to accept what had just happened.

Zhouzhou curiously looked at the cabinet door, randomly scrambled the password, then reached out with her little chubby hand to mimic Lu Shi, pressing her ear against the door and turning it. After a moment, she stopped at a certain point.

Looking up, she asked Lu Shi, “Uncle Lu, does hearing this sound mean it’s right?”

Surprised, Lu Shi turned to Zhouzhou, “You can hear it?”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou nodded her little head and asked, “Can I close the door and open it again?”

“Sure,” Lu Shi nodded. After closing it, he suddenly said, “Wait, let me reset the password.”

He knew Zhouzhou had a good memory; she might have just remembered it from earlier.

Excited, Zhouzhou nodded and turned her back, covering her eyes, “Uncle Lu, you do it. I won’t look.”

Ye Lingfeng and the others looked over, curious.

Before long, Lu Shi finished adjusting the settings and called Zhouzhou over.

Zhouzhou grabbed the knob and started turning it.

Seeing this, De Qin laughed again.

They were digging their own graves!

They had already opened it, but now they wanted to try again.

And it was that little girl doing it herself–how could a little kid possibly open it? What a joke.

However, the next second, before he could laugh again, there was another click, and it opened.

Zhouzhou said, “This is pretty easy!”

But Lu Shi’s expression was one of surprise, waves of excitement breaking across his usually expressionless face.

It was the kind of joy one feels upon discovering a kindred spirit.

Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment and quickly understood the principle behind it, saying, “Zhouzhou has great hearing.”

She could likely discern the differences in the gear’s movements, allowing her to get it right.

Lu Shi replied, “In this line of work, good hearing is essential; it’s a talent!”

He excitedly looked at Zhouzhou and said, “Kiddo, once we get out, I’ll teach you about mechanics!”

“Great, great!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, placing her hands on her chubby hips and surveying the room before huffing, “I’m still just a kid, but once I grow up, just give me some time, and I’ll learn so many things. I won’t always be illiterate!”

They had no doubt about that.

They were simply enjoying teasing her.

After a few years, they probably wouldn’t be able to get away with it anymore.

So they needed to hurry and make the most of it.

If the little chubby girl knew their thoughts, she would probably explode.

That was too much, really!

Chubby Girl’s life mattered too; they should cherish it a bit!

A smile crept onto Lu Shi’s lips; genius often comes with an invincible loneliness, and he hadn’t expected to have such a talented companion by his side.

How many more surprises could Zhouzhou bring them?

They were thrilled, while De Qin was on the brink of collapse, completely shattered.

Why was it that the challenges he had specially crafted fell apart so easily in the hands of these few people?

His mindset was on the verge of breaking down.

Glancing at him, Ye Lingfeng smirked proudly.

His daughter wasn’t just anyone!

After opening the cabinet, Zhouzhou hurried over, nearly sticking her little head inside, pulling out several gold bars and her eyes narrowing with delight.

“So much gold!” Zhouzhou exclaimed, hugging the gold bars, practically rolling on the ground, her little face rubbing against them, about to take a bite when Ye Lingfeng pressed down on her head, stopping her.

“How can you put dirty things in your mouth?”

Zhouzhou replied with a pout, “Dad, you’re out of touch. How could gold be dirty?”

Ye Lingfeng shot her a glance, “An illiterate person not understanding germs is forgivable; I won’t hold it against you.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou crossed her chubby arms, pouting, her little face lifted high, turning her head to avoid looking at him.

“Dad, I’m really getting angry!”

She had already said she would learn about these things in the future.

But that was all a matter for later!

Ye Lingfeng chuckled as he pinched Zhouzhou’s little fortune bun, enjoying the teasing.

Zheng Yu watched this scene, speechless.

He tapped the keyboard, noticing something, and hurriedly said, “Boss, you guys hurry up, someone is coming this way.”

It seemed the commotion they made had drawn the attention of others.

It was normal, considering how much noise they had made since they landed.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou forgot about her anger, quickly opened her backpack, and started stuffing the gold bars inside.

She also handed out a few bags to the others, saying, “Use this.”

Everyone had seen Zhouzhou’s backpack, which could fit an entire golden mountain. They didn’t ask many questions and immediately got to work.

After clearing out this room, Zhouzhou ran outside, taking everything that could be moved.

In the end, she didn’t even spare a seasoning bottle!

De Qin rolled his eyes and fainted.

The evil spirit approached, saliva nearly dripping three meters, asking, “Little Celestial Master, can I eat him?”

“Go ahead, go ahead,” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, glancing without a care as she opened the fridge, using a chair to pull out its contents.

These looked pretty good; she wanted to take them back to eat.

Hearing this, De Qin woke up in fright, and he immediately turned to run, but the evil spirit chuckled darkly.

He grabbed De Qin and lifted him up, cackling like a villain, “Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!”

“Come on, little one, I’ll make it quick for you!”

With that, he tossed De Qin into the steamer, covering it with a lid and adding more firewood beneath to make the flames burn hotter.

At long last, they had waited for this!

De Qin’s desperate cries grew fainter.

Before losing consciousness entirely, his only thought was that he hoped he wouldn’t have to experience a next life.

The mere thought of sharing a world with them filled him with dread!

Before long, De Qin’s house was left empty, not a grain of rice left behind. They quickly climbed down the rope ladder and escaped.

When the others arrived, they looked at the empty De Qin house in silence.

Was it the locusts that killed him?

Even locusts passing through wouldn’t be this ruthless!
