"Dig!" The system is concise and to the point.

Ji Qing supported his forehead.

So......

The letter rewarded by the system was buried in the soil?

The system asked her to come over, just to let her dig a hole in the ground?

Ji Qing is so old, he really hasn't done such a thing!

However, Ji Qing also knows that the system will not be untargeted, since she is asked to dig, it must make sense.

Ji Qing looked around first.

I don't know if it's because it's lunch break at this time, and the weather is starting to get hot, this elm beard is much quieter than elsewhere, especially in the alley where Ji Qing is still at the back door, it is even quieter.

Confirming that there was no one to come and go, Ji Qing squatted down according to the guidance of the system, then put his right hand into the small dog hole, separated by a courtyard wall, and began to dig on the ground on the inner side of the courtyard wall.

"System, you reminded me to bring a small shovel!" Ji Qing said.

This is also due to the fact that the inside of the courtyard wall is planted with flowers and plants, the soil is slightly loose, and it is not a solid ground, otherwise, with Ji Qing's strange posture, she will use her five fingers to dig for a day and don't want to dig out anything.

The system was silent.

Fortunately, Ji Qing didn't really want to get any response from the system, but just sped up and continued to dig.

While digging, Ji Qing thought in her heart, and she didn't know what the letter that was about to be dug up had anything to do with her?

Although Ji Qing's mentality is good, and the soil in the courtyard wall is indeed a little soft, after all, she dug directly with her five fingers, and the nails on her hands broke after digging for a while.

Although Ji Qing has rarely walked out of the He family in the past ten years, she is really pampered, taking her hands as an example, they are extremely white and soft, so that people will naturally think of the word "soft wattle" at a glance, these hands still have long nails, and the nails are painted with beautiful Kodan, which complements the whiteness of her hands.

But now, because I took this beautiful hand to dig the soil, not only was my hands full of mud, but my nails were also broken, and the cracks of my nails were even stuffed with black mud.

But Ji Qing only frowned slightly because of the slight discomfort caused by broken nails, and soon continued to dig.

Fortunately, the letter was not hidden too deeply, and Ji Qing dug with some difficulty for about half an hour before touching something.

With joy in his heart, Ji Qing sped up and took out the things buried in the soil.

This is indeed a letter, perhaps to prevent moisture, and it is wrapped in oil, and it is a thin one to the touch.

Although she was a little curious, Ji Qing also knew that now was not a good time to read the letter, she tucked the letter in her hand into her sleeve, and then groped around the courtyard wall, found her broken nails one by one, and smoothed out the dirt that she had dug up messily.

After doing this, Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Ji Qing withdrew her hand and was about to stand up and leave, she suddenly heard a ...... coming from within the courtyard wall

The chirping of small animals.

While curious, Ji Qing also vaguely guessed that this was probably the reason why the system asked her to come here before noon.

Unconsciously, Ji Qing lowered his head and looked into the hole.

I saw that a puppy that was only two palms long for Ji Qing at most was humming and walking towards the entrance of the hole, and through the dog hole, he happened to meet Ji Qing's gaze.

Without waiting for Ji Qing to look away, the puppy turned his head casually and began to dig holes in the ground that Ji Qing had just smoothed.

Ji Qing: ......

Sure enough, the system is not untargeted.

If she hadn't arrived in time, the letter buried under the dirt at the base of the wall would have been dug out and ruined by this puppy?

If that were the case, Ji Qing would naturally not be able to get this letter.

Because of this cognition, Ji Qing was inevitably a little lucky.

Seeing that the little dog was digging the ground in a mess, and he could vaguely hear the scolding sound coming from inside, Ji Qing hurriedly stood up and hurriedly walked out.

It wasn't until he boarded the carriage and lowered the curtain to cut off the light outside that Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back." She commanded.

The carriage slowly drove away from Elm Alley.

After relaxing, Ji Qing found that the two maids were looking at her in surprise, and Honeysuckle still looked like she wanted to say something, and she didn't know what she wanted to say.

Ji Qing looked down at herself.

Xu was out of some peculiar premonition, Ji Qing didn't dress up very carefully when she went out today, only wore a half-worn skirt, and after some tossing outside the dog cave, the clothes on her body were already dirty, and even the hat was stained with a lot of mud.

And the most important thing that cannot be ignored is that Ji Qing's right hand is like being pulled out of the mud, and his nails are all broken, and I don't know if he has hurt his hand.

This look, the word "embarrassed" is not enough to describe it, and it is no wonder that Honeysuckle and Holly have such expressions.

"Nothing." Ji Qing said.

The two maids looked at Ji Qing carefully and confirmed that there was nothing wrong except for the mud on their hands, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Holly is fine, but honeysuckle ......

But there is still a little bit of a desire to speak.

If it was usual, Ji Qing would definitely be able to detect that something was wrong with Honeysuckle, but at this moment, Ji Qing was only thinking about what was in the letter he just got and what it had to do with himself, but he didn't notice the abnormality of Honeysuckle at all.

Honeysuckle sighed quietly, but still didn't say anything.

Back at Hefu, Ji Qing didn't rush to read the letter, but first asked people to prepare water and bathe for a while, until he changed into clean clothes, and then he regained the long-lost freshness.

I didn't care about being covered in mud before, it was also a last resort, in order to get the reward given by the system, even if I resisted in my heart, I could only endure it, but if I could, who would be willing to make myself discouraged?

Having dried her hair under the service of Honeysuckle and Holly, Ji Qing let a piece of green silk fall over her shoulders and took out the letter that she had worked so hard to get.

Pat off the remaining dirt on the oiled paper, unfold the oiled paper, inside is a letter, the envelope is blank, open the envelope and take out the letterhead, the paper is already a little yellowed.

Obviously, this letter is some years old.

This also made Ji Qing even more curious.

The letter was full of words, and the content was just ordinary gossip, and even reading made people feel a little messy or even fragmentary, and the end of the letter, like the envelope, was blank and unsigned.

After Ji Qing read the letter, he was full of doubts.
