Chapter 931: The Porcelain Jar in the Dog Kennel

Seeing the strange behavior of these two old dogs, Wang An, who was in the middle of his anger, instantly forgot about being angry and threw it to the back of his mind.

Subconsciously, Wang An narrowed his eyes and frowned.

Because it was very clear that the reason these two old dogs were like this was that there was definitely a problem in their respective kennels, and a big problem at that.

Therefore, when Wang An realized there was a problem in these two kennels, he walked over with great suspicion.

To tell the truth, at this moment, Wang An really couldn't think of what problem there could be in a dog kennel.

The key was that the kennels for these four dogs were built very simply.

The sides and back were walls built of adobe, about 1 meter high, and there was no cover in front of the kennel.

The roof of the kennel consisted of a few tree trunks as thick as a wrist, and on top was a broken grass mat that already leaked many holes.

A kennel like this neither blocked the wind nor the rain; it could be said that a dog lying inside was the same as lying outside.

To say something unpleasant, it was "two dicks boiling soup, one dick's flavor"!

The depth of the kennel was only about 1 meter, so standing outside, one could see the entire inside of the kennel at a glance.

After staring at this kennel for a long time, Wang An couldn't figure out what could be hidden in it.

Although Wang An also thought of the money that a group of "hat brothers" (police) hadn't found, this kennel, which was simple to the point of being unable to be simpler, really didn't look like a place that could hide money.

Holding full suspicion, Wang An started digging at the spot where the dog was barking.

What if he dug up some good stuff?

Mainly, Wang An felt that these two old dogs wouldn't bark without a reason.

Mainly because although these two old dogs were just ordinary watchdogs, precisely because they were old enough—that is, they had lived long enough—their intelligence must have increased with age.

As the saying goes, "people get cunning when old, horses get slippery when old, rabbits get hard to catch when old." Although this saying only mentioned people, horses, and rabbits, it showed what happens after living for a long time.

But in fact, all animals are like this.

Because whether it's people or animals, only the longer they live, the more things they experience, and in terms of intelligence, they will become even smarter.

The four characters "old, cunning, and slippery" are enough to explain this point.

That's why these two old dogs were so actively subdued by Wang An.

Because they knew very clearly that now, only by mixing with Wang An could they get food; although they didn't know if they could get full, they definitely wouldn't starve to death.

Besides, Wang An had thrown them two steamed buns before; in their view, if they followed Wang An in the future, at the very least, it wouldn't be worse than before.

Never think that animals don't have their own thoughts and thinking; actually, they just can't speak human language. Who is good to them and who is bad to them, they know very clearly.

Most importantly, the vast majority of animals know how to be grateful.

The inside of the kennel was considered clean; apart from fallen dog fur, there were only withered tree leaves and withered grass stalks that had started to rot.

The reason the leaves and grass rotted was that the roof of the kennel leaked. Usually, whenever it rained, rainwater would stay in the kennel, and as long as the leaves and grass touched water, rotting was inevitable.

One had to say that these 4 dogs following Wei Cheng had truly suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Not being able to eat was one thing, but they also had to endure the watering of rain; who could he reason with about this?

Very quickly, Wang An scooped out a large pile of these half-rotted leaves and grass from the kennel, and as expected, a pit appeared in the kennel.

And don't say, the leaves and grass in this kennel were seriously quite thick, as if they were endless, the more he dug, the more there were.

Of course, the reason he felt the more he dug, the more there were, was that leaves become fluffy after rotting, so they look more numerous.

But just when Wang An had scooped out all the leaves and grass in this pit and his hands had already dug to the soil layer, he still hadn't dug up anything.

Wang An couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled; could it be that there was nothing in this kennel?

Or was it that these two old dogs were confused because of their age?

Just when Wang An was having wild thoughts in his head, while his hands were unconsciously continuing to dig the soil, his fingertips suddenly touched a very smooth, hard object.

Wang An's heart stirred, his eyes lit up, and he continued to dig with his bare hands.

After three or five digs, a white porcelain jar lid was revealed.

After another while, a porcelain jar that was a circle larger than a basketball was pulled out of the soil by Wang An.

Holding the heavy porcelain jar with both hands, Wang An felt that there must be good stuff inside.

Brushing off the mud on top, Wang An discovered that the lid of this porcelain jar was sealed with wax.

And don't say, with the porcelain jar sealed with wax like this, water or dampness would absolutely not get inside.

The person who buried this porcelain jar had to be said to be quite talented.

Picking up a small wooden stick, Wang An scraped off the wax on top.

After opening the lid, Wang An's eyes instantly narrowed because what Wang An didn't expect was that inside this jar, there was plastic sheeting, which wasn't very common at this time.

Wang An remembered that it was around '82 or maybe '83 that plastic sheeting gradually started to become popular locally. Now, although the supply and marketing cooperative occasionally sold plastic sheeting, it was basically in a state of being there sometimes and not others.

As for plastic woven bags, also called snake-skin bags, the time they became popular was even later, probably after '83.

As for the specific time, Wang An couldn't remember too clearly, anyway, it was around those two years.

Mainly because these things walked into thousands of households inadvertently; by the time you reacted, you could see them all over the streets.

Pulling out the plastic sheeting, Wang An finally saw clearly what was inside.

Seeing what was wrapped in the plastic sheeting, Wang An finally confirmed that these two old dogs were repaying him, repaying his kindness for adopting them.

Of course, it could also be that they wanted him to treat them better in the future, and used this method to curry favor with him in advance.

Inside, it was all "Great Unities" (10-yuan bills), and they were all stacks upon stacks of Great Unities.

Roughly counting, there should be 25 stacks, which was 25,000 yuan.

One had to say that Wei Cheng, this old guy, was truly damn rich, and also truly damn dog-like, actually hiding money in such a broken dog kennel.

A large group of "hat brothers" searched for a full hour, but they just didn't look in this broken dog kennel, just like that day after day.

It's just that Wang An felt that with Wei Cheng's thieving nature and squirrel-like personality, he definitely didn't have only this 25,000 yuan, and at the same time, he definitely wouldn't hide money in only this one porcelain jar.

Thanks to "Great Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Wishing you, big brother, wealth every day, and happiness and joy every day.
