Chapter 652 Burden

He no longer cared about his fear and worry, and rushed forward, hugging the jewels in the box and grinning from ear to ear.

"It's gold, it's gold!

Yuan Jiasi only had eyes for these yellow and white things and didn't notice that several of his companions twitched their lips.

"What do you think?" Li Gangtie asked a few people.

Shen Yanming shook his head, and Yu Shui and Chen Qing also looked confused.

"Maybe someone hid the family fortune here. Maybe something happened to that person, so he never came to get it."

"Yes, who would think of hiding things above their heads? Usually they would dig a cellar underground or a secret compartment in the wall."

"After all, it's Old Shen who's lucky. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found it."

Shen Yanming twitched his lips and turned his head to the side.

Why can’t I remember Yu Shui?

Seeing that no one agreed, Yu Shui finally realized what he had said.

He slapped himself on the mouth and said, "I'll teach you a lesson!"

At this time, Yuan Jiasi also woke up from his "sudden wealth". He walked up to the few people awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I, I just haven't seen so much wealth."

Li Gangtie nodded and said nothing.

Yuan Jiasi was a little unwilling, he asked tentatively: "Captain, what do you think we should do with all these good things?"

Li Gangtie raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

"Ha, ha ha, well, whoever sees it gets a share, right?" Yuan Jiasi said with his eyes twinkling.

Li Gangtie thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.

Anyway, these things are worthless now, so only Yuan Jiasi feels that he has picked up a treasure.

Look how calm Shen Yanming, Yu Shui and Chen Qing are. How can jade, gold and silver be compared with food?

In fact, he really overestimated the three of them.

Chen Yanming, there are plenty of treasures in the space, so I am not tempted. At the same time, I don't want to cause trouble for myself.

Yu Shui and Chen Qing were used to following Shen Yanming's lead, so seeing that Old Shen didn't move, they didn't move either.

Anyway, the things are not mine, so I won’t feel bad even if I hand them over.

What's more, these things are just good-looking and not very useful.

"Pick out some jewelry. They'd be great for your mother, daughter, or partner." As for the gold and silver, let's give them to the alliance to use for industrial development.

But Li Gangtie didn't say the second half of the sentence, which led to Yuan Jiasi becoming greedy and dying here soon after.

Yuan Jiasi thought that Li Gangtie didn't want to give him the biggest share, so he was unhappy but still tried to smile. He picked out a bunch of sparkling jewels and stuffed them into the hands of several people, which was equivalent to bribery.

As long as they tie themselves to me, I won't be afraid of capsizing.

Seeing that Li Gangtie did not stop them, Yu Shui and Chen Qing did not refuse and took the money and put it in their backpacks.

Shen Yanming refused directly and said with a smile: "I'll just pick two at random. I can't carry too many."

Then she took the initiative to walk to the box and picked out two pairs of jade bracelets with excellent water content, a pearl necklace, and a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with gemstones.

Yuan Jiasi's originally unchanging expression suddenly turned into a smile upon seeing this.

I thought Shen Yanming would not take the bait, but I didn't expect him to choose for himself. I thought he had a big appetite, but I didn't expect him to only pick a few.

Hehe, then the rest is up to you to install? It's really a hair!

But how could he know that according to the prices before the end of the world, the few items in Old Shen's hands were equivalent to the pile in his hands.

Shen Yanming put the things into his bag and asked Li Gangtie, "You don't want to pick two?"

Li Gangtie smiled knowingly and picked out two jade beads and a few jade bracelets. Although they were not top-quality, they were still quite expensive.

Yuan Jiasi smiled even more happily and stuffed the remaining jewels in the box into his bag.

Whatever couldn’t fit in the bag, she stuffed it into her clothes and trouser pockets, and even hung it around her neck and wrists. The bag was almost full.

Li Gangtie hurriedly stopped him: "That's enough, take these back, they are not worth eating or drinking, and they are a burden."

Yuan Jiasi's high spirits disappeared, and he stiffly took the things off his body and put them back into the box.

"Hey, I'm just too excited. I haven't seen these good things before."

"It doesn't matter now. It's been three or four years since the end of the world. Don't you know what's most important?" Li Gangtie didn't want him to be dazzled by these mundane things, so he reminded him.

But Yuan Jiasi doesn't think so. The end of the world will eventually pass, and when peace comes, these things will be valuable.

With these treasures, he won't need to work hard in the future and can just lie back and enjoy life.

"Okay, let's move forward quickly and see if we can find an exit." Li Gangtie said as he put on his backpack and walked forward.

Several people followed closely without any reluctance.

Only Yuan Jiasi was reluctant to leave, thinking that he would come again to transport all his treasures away. And he had to do it as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted by those few people.

After walking around for more than an hour, they felt like they were going up the mountain, but they just couldn't get out of it.

Finally reaching the end of the passage, everyone was dumbfounded. What should they do now that there is no way out?

"Captain, there is no way out, let's go back." Yuan Jiasi said with a bitter face. His backpack was too heavy and he couldn't carry it anymore.

The other people didn't have such worries at all. They shook their heads and said, "Let's look for it. Maybe there is a secret passage there like the one over there."

Li Gangtie, Yu Shui and Chen Qing all raised their heads to look for anything unusual, but Shen Yanming was the only one who lowered his head and groped on the ground.

Not long after, Shen Yanming pointed to a place and said that it might be the exit.

Li Gangtie squatted down and took a look. As expected, this place was different from the surroundings. It was still made of yellow mud. But the color was too similar to the surroundings, so if you didn't pay attention, you would miss it.

Li Gangtie was about to use a dagger to dig, but Shen Yanming told him to take it easy, as they might have nothing under their feet.

Li Gangtie was so frightened when he thought about the situation at the entrance that his legs almost went weak. He knelt on the ground and dug the soil bit by bit.

After a long time, there was another similar wooden cover embedded in the ground. I pulled it up with all my strength and saw the scene below.

Hey, it's really empty.

This is another cave, the kind with the exit above your head.

Li Gangtie estimated the height and thought it was acceptable, so he held onto the hole, lowered most of his body, and jumped down.

Bending his knees reduced a lot of the impact, but he still squatted for a while.

Li Gangtie let out a "hiss" and rubbed his legs. He rested for a long time before letting the people above slowly throw down their bags.

Everyone's was caught in mid-air, except Yuan Jiasi's, which fell directly to the ground.

There was no way, it was too heavy. Li Gangtie had just grabbed the strap when the man fell to the ground. What could he do?

Can I tell Yuan Jiasi that I did it on purpose? That's absolutely impossible. Otherwise, wouldn't it be obvious that I'm causing trouble?
