"Thank, thank you, officer."
Song Ci was a bit surprised as he took the knife and then quickly thanked Jiu Zhou.
Soon, Zuan Qu hugged Tang Shi, and Song Ci went to cut the rope on Tang Shi's leg, then hurriedly helped him down.
Tang Shi was extremely embarrassed. After hurriedly untying the rope on his leg, he awkwardly looked down at the rope in his hand, not knowing how to leave properly.
Just then, Jiu Zhou picked up the book from the ground. After standing up, he asked the three of them, "Where did the rope come from?"
Zuan Qu subtly shielded Tang Shi behind him and then answered Jiu Zhou, "We dug it up from a piece of abandoned land."
Actually, the rope was found by Tang Shi, but fearing Jiu Zhou would pursue and punish them, Zuan Qu instinctively didn't point out Tang Shi.
However, his obvious action in Jiu Zhou's eyes was no different from plainly saying "Tang Shi found it."
After dusting off the book, Jiu Zhou asked, "Did it come with packaging?"
"Yes."
