Chapter 140 Good heavens, which rich man hid this?
Da Huang immediately quieted down and followed Qiao Manman happily.
When He Nian saw her daughter return, she hurriedly asked, "Working overtime again?"
This job was more tiring than she had imagined.
Qiao Manman nodded: "Yes, I went to a meeting in the city with my boss!"
He Nian asked, "Have you eaten? Let me heat up a steamed bun for you."
"No need, I ate on my way back!"
Qiao Manman yawned: "Mom, I'm going to sleep, I'm a little sleepy!"
"Okay, you can rest now!"
Qiao Manman washed her hands and face with water, took off her coat, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and fell asleep instantly.
I was woken up by the system at 1 a.m. sharp.
I put on long sleeves, long pants, and sneakers, and went to the doghouse. Before Big Yellow could even bark, I put it into my storage space.
Then they climbed over the wall and ran quickly up the mountain.
After running a hundred or two meters, I stopped and peered into the space around me. I found that the cowardly Big Yellow was huddled in the cornfield, too scared to move.
"You're a good girl!" She didn't run around and ruin her things.
With a wave of his hand, he released it, rubbed its head, and fed it two mutated wheat grains.
"Master, I want to exchange for night vision goggles!"
"Okay, host. 1 point deducted. Night vision goggles successfully redeemed!"
Qiao Manman flipped her hand, took out night vision goggles, put them on her head, and the surrounding environment instantly became clear.
"Are you ready? If you are, let's go!"
Once Dahuang recovered, it quickly swung its tail.
Sniffing around on the ground, he finally chose a direction and ran wildly into the darkness with Qiao Manman.
It took more than an hour to walk like this, and Qiao Manman felt like they were almost deep in the mountains.
How dare Zhao Zhaodi? Isn't she afraid of being carried off by wolves?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a "whoosh" and Qiao Manman's body trembled.
And the idiot next to her actually responded. Qiao Manman had no idea that her dog, Da Huang, could howl like a wolf.
Really versatile.
"Big Yellow, are we there yet?" She was a little tired.
Big Yellow let out a "woof" and nudged its head to the side.
Qiao Manman took out a stool and sat down, then pulled out a bunch of delicious food to replenish her energy.
Seeing this, Dahuang was no longer in a hurry.
The big head rubbed against Qiao Manman's knee, hoping she would share some with it.
Qiao Manman was certainly not stingy. She took out the bowl that Qin Erhua had used and put a fried chicken leg in it.
Dahuang finished the food in no time, chewing the bones with a satisfying crunch, showing he has excellent teeth.
Qiao Manman gave it another can of dog food, which finally pleased the dog.
After leisurely finishing her fried chicken and cola, Qiao Manman stood up: "Let's go, take me to see your discovery!"
Da Huang immediately looked up and started walking forward. Soon, he saw the pit where Zhao Zhaodi had fallen.
It was a pit more than three meters deep, and it was indeed not easy to climb out without training.
The traces at the bottom of the pit had disappeared with the wind and sun. Qiao Manman glanced at them and then left.
Following Da Huang, we turned to the side and walked for about ten minutes before turning into a cave covered by vines.
To be honest, if it weren't for Da Huang leading the way, Qiao Manman would never have discovered this hidden gem even if she had passed by many times.
It really was covered up too well. The opening was also very narrow, only thirty centimeters wide.
To onlookers, it just looked like the mountain had sunk in a little.
Who would have thought that there was no space behind it, enough for a small, thin adult woman or a teenage boy to squeeze in.
Although Qiao Manman has grown taller recently, she is still slender.
Without even holding my breath, I entered the cave and found it to be quite spacious.
The stones outside seemed to be placed there intentionally, ensuring ventilation inside the cave while preventing large wild animals from lingering there.
Qiao Manman observed the ground and found many footprints. Following the footprints, she found that the cave was quite deep.
Several hundred meters later, there was an open flat area with three boxes placed on it.
Qiao Manman opened it and wow, it really was a treasure.
The shiny little gold ingots were immediately appealing. Qiao Manman picked one up, turned it over, and discovered a stamp on it.
Yes, it's a relic from the previous dynasty, unclaimed.
That makes things easier; whoever finds it gets to keep it.
Qiao Manman unceremoniously put the box into her spatial storage, and even used her consciousness to check the gaps, fearing that there might be snakes, insects, or rodents inside.
Fortunately, the box was well-sealed, and the cave was dry and well-ventilated, so she didn't find any of the little things she was afraid of.
Qiao Manman was in a good mood. She took out a broom and swept away the footprints, which was her way of cleaning up after Zhao Zhaodi.
As a result, she accidentally bumped into the cave wall, and Qiao Manman paused, sensing that something was wrong.
Tell me, tell me, you finally managed to set up a "secret room," and all you've got is three boxes of gold?
While two small yellow croakers might be considered a fortune for ordinary people, they meant nothing to a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty!
Qiao Manman raised her hand and tapped on it, discovering that the wall had been built later. She didn't know how it was done, but it was almost the same color as the surrounding walls.
She groped around, trying to find the mechanism. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find any protrusions.
He decided to stop searching, took out a large hammer from his spatial storage, and started hammering hard against the cave wall. Before long, he had hammered out a large hole.
Qiao Manman's eyes lit up. She shone her flashlight inside and discovered that it was a cave within a cave, filled with dozens or even hundreds of boxes at first glance.
Qiao Manman continued hammering, and soon she had hammered a hole the size of a fist large enough for one person to pass through.
She didn't make any rash moves, put the hammer into her spatial storage, and waited outside.
They waited until the air circulated before crawling inside.
"Good heavens! Which rich man hid this?!"
As Qiao Manman approached, she discovered that even the boxes containing the items were made of precious wood, indicating just how valuable the contents were.
Of course, she was very careful. She took out gloves from her storage space and put on a gas mask before opening the box, only to find it full of gold and silver jewelry.
They're no worse than what her grandparents gave her.
The key is the sheer number of them, there are dozens.
Qiao Manman put the small-leaf sandalwood box into her spatial storage and then saw more than a dozen camphor wood boxes.
Upon opening it, sure enough, it contained silk, ancient books, and calligraphy and paintings.
Camphor wood chests are effective in preventing insects and moths, as well as in repelling mold and moisture, and the items inside are well preserved.
Qiao Manman put the box back into her spatial storage and then saw a golden nanmu box hidden in the corner of the wall.
It was very small and inconspicuous among the other boxes, but when you opened it, you would find that it contained house deeds and land deeds.
Qiao Manman initially thought it belonged to a high-ranking official from the previous dynasty, but upon closer inspection of the seal on it, she realized something was amiss.
This was clearly done before the liberation. The owner of these items might still be alive.
Flipping through the pages again, I found a diary at the very bottom.
When Qiao Manman opened it, she found it was a message from Xiao Rizi's side.
It tells how they swindled wealthy families and amassed so much wealth in the heart of the capital.
It tells the story of how they hid in the mountains and concealed their treasure while being pursued by the Red Army.
It recounts how they slunk away after their defeat, filled with regret and sorrow.
And it is imperative that future generations carry on the legacy of their ancestors, transport the treasure back to their hometown, and hand it over to the Emperor.
Qiao Manman gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound: "Even if I benefit myself, I can't benefit you!"
