Chapter 470 Mingmei's Time Capsule
With the first experience, Xiao Ai immediately became interested. He dragged a bench from the house, sat in front of the fish pond, and started fishing with the lost fishing rod.
Although Ai Dian is still young, he has already become a decent "fisherman".
However, what they were fishing for was not fish, but lost property.
This feeling of the unknown is the most fascinating because you never know what you will catch next.
It could be a treasure of great value, it could be a useless piece of trash, or it could be those randomly discarded, confusing fragments of people’s lives.
Xiao Ai even fished up a rusty AK47. He pulled the bolt and found that it was loaded with bullets. He pulled the trigger and it actually fired.
This scared the Bobo duo who were sneaking around to attack the flower bed. The bullet flew right past them. Just a little bit away, the birds' lives would have been in danger.
After a while, when Mingmei finished cleaning the villa carefully and walked out of the house, there were already a lot of messy things piled up around Hanyu Nan and Xiao Ai, so many that even the bucket could not fit any more.
"Master Hanyu, Xiao Ai, are you picking up junk?" Mingmei said half-jokingly, smiling as she walked over briskly.
After saying that, she picked up a half-broken sword from the "garbage dump" and waved it a few times in a very professional manner.
"What you said is not wrong, but to be more precise, we are fishing for garbage." Hanyu Kusunoki shrugged, while Ai couldn't help giggling.
This thing relies too much on luck. It has to be randomly fished out from lost items all over the world. If your luck is bad, you won't be able to catch anything good at all.
After learning from Hanyu Kusunoki and Ai about the magical effects of the lost fishing rod and the fish pond, the little maid also proudly joined the fishing organization. She squatted aside and watched with relish.
Xiao Ai did not disappoint her sister's expectations. She soon felt the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sink and shouted excitedly, "Another thing is caught!"
Hanyu Kusunoki went over to check, and what he caught was a broken robot toy with many parts falling off.
Mingmei saw this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's true that they can catch all kinds of strange things."
Ai, however, was playing with the toy with great interest: "Maybe Xiu Xiu can still use it."
Hearing this, Hanyu Nan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's right, Xiu Xiu can also sell it to classmates. Xiao Ai is really thrifty. She is worthy of being our little housekeeper."
However, it would be better to give this job to Professor Agasa, as he has many children, they are easy to sell, and he is also good at hands-on work, and he can upgrade the broken robot into a small Gundam in a short time.
The tsundere little girl rolled her eyes at him, ignored him completely, put the robot into the trash, and continued to swing the pole.
Hanyu Kusunoki turned to look at the little maid and asked casually, "Amei, do you have anything lost? No matter how long it has been lost, you still have a chance to find it back now."
"The lost things..."
Mingmei stretched out her finger and tapped her chin, lost in thought. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Hanyu, does the buried time capsule count?"
"Time capsule?" Xiao Ai put down the lost fishing rod in her hand and turned to her sister with some doubts.
Mingmei nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, I buried it when I was in the sixth grade. Counting the time, it has been more than 6 years. It is indeed time to take it out."
"So what did you write in there, sister?"
Xiao Ai asked curiously.
"This is my little secret. You'll know it when I catch it, Ai." Mingmei winked mischievously, a sly smile appeared on her face, and then she turned to look at Hanyu Nan and said, "Master Hanyu, is this okay?"
Hanyu Nan nodded, "It should be possible, we will know after trying it."
He did know what was written in the time capsule, but since the little maid chose not to tell him for the time being, he naturally couldn't spoil her fun.
Following Ai's instructions, Mingmei held the lost fishing rod and stood beside the fishing pond, recalling the specific appearance of the time capsule while muttering to herself:
"It was a small iron box with a piece of paper on the lid that clearly said, 'This is the time capsule of the 19th graduating class. Please give it to the teacher if you find it.' I remember hiding it on the ceiling of the breeding hut at Teitan Elementary School. The roof had two layers of wooden boards..."
When Ai heard her sister say that she was a graduate of Teitan Elementary School, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
She had never heard her sister talk about this before. She only knew that her sister always followed the organization's orders and frequently transferred to different places. She didn't expect that her sister was actually her senior.
No wonder I was so happy when I heard that I was going to study at Teitan. It turns out there was such a reason.
After describing the memories of the time capsule that came to her mind, Mingmei gently cast the fishing rod in her hand, and then stared at the float with anticipation, patiently waiting for the "fish" to take the bait.
The result did not disappoint them. Not long after, the float began to shake slightly.
Mingmei was delighted when she saw this. She quickly grabbed the fishing rod and pulled hard. A small rusty iron box broke out of the water.
"I caught it! I caught it!" Xiao Ai was even more excited than Mingmei, and she quickly stepped forward to take the small iron box.
But just as he was about to open it, Hanyu Kusunoki got there first.
"Let me take a look first..." Hanyu Kusunoki held the small iron box in one hand and held down Ai, who wanted to snatch the small iron box back, with the other hand, intending to be the first witness.
How could Ai-chan, who is obsessed with her sister, be happy? She puffed out her cheeks and waved her two exposed white arms like a Hot Wheels, trying to break through the big hand pressing on her forehead.
"Hey?"
The little fox was woken up, yawned lazily with sleepy eyes, then shook its furry ears, and then slowly climbed onto Hanyu Kusunoki's shoulder, looking at the lively scene in front of him with curious eyes.
In the end, it was the little maid who stepped in and ended the dispute.
Mingmei smiled and pulled Xiao Ai away, then gently took the small iron box from Hanyu Kusunoki's hand, "Okay, the two of you stop arguing. This is the time capsule I buried that year, and I should be the first to check it."
After saying that, she gently opened the iron box, and saw yellowed notes and some old photos full of traces of time inside.
