The neighbor, a woman about sixty with a soft, tired smile, went out into her yard every night and began digging the ground. The moonlight revealed her silhouette among the flowerbeds and the old fence, and the earth under her feet gradually turned into uneven pits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first people just exchanged glances, talking about it on the bench near the shop. They had all kinds of ideas about it.<br>\u2014 Maybe she\u2019s transplanting potatoes? \u2014 one said.<br>\u2014 In November? At night? Something\u2019s not right here.<br>\u2014 I\u2019m telling you, she\u2019s hiding something.<br>\u2014 But what? \u2014 the neighbors kept discussing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day curiosity took over \u2014 and two neighbors decided to follow her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They hid behind the old shed and watched for hours as the woman, breathing heavily, drove the shovel into the hard soil, sometimes falling to her knees as if listening for something under the ground. The neighbors were horrified when they finally understood why the woman was digging so tirelessly and what exactly she was hiding&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83e\udee3\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1fae3.svg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83e\udee3\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1fae3.svg\">&nbsp;Continuation in the first comment&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f447.svg\">&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f447.svg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth came out by accident. One of the neighbors, under the pretext of bringing her a jar of jam, stopped by during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a cup of tea the woman confessed \u2014 before his death, her husband had told her that once, many years ago, he had buried several valuables in the yard: antique jewelry, gold coins, even a family ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was weak, spoke quietly, and never managed to say the exact place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first the widow thought she could forget about it. But with every passing day, the thought of the treasure gave her no peace. And so, armed with a shovel, she began her search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pit after pit, flowerbed after flowerbed \u2014 but so far, neither the shine of gold nor old coins. Only the dark, damp soil whose smell now filled her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say she is still digging to this day. And no one knows \u2014 whether it is simply the desire to find her husband\u2019s legacy, or whether something else is hidden beneath her garden, something he never dared to tell her about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the evenings, the village was quiet, only from one yard came a muffled sound \u2014 the shovel going into the earth again and again.\u2014 Do you hear that? \u2014 one neighbor asked quietly.\u2014 I hear\u2026 she\u2019s digging again, \u2014 the other replied.
