Shi Meiling still asked An Qingbai to bring over 5 catties of meat, fearing that Zhuang Zhimeng wouldn't have any meat to eat.

Wu Pandi didn't want to give it, but Shi Meiling didn't care.

"This is a reward from your third brother's hunting trip. He can give it to whomever he wants, and I won't mind if he doesn't take any home. There's still so much here, isn't that enough for you to eat?"

"Mom, let's cook some meat today, Qingsong is craving it."

"I think you're just greedy!"

Shi Meiling immediately understood what she meant. When there was meat, she was more eager than anyone else, and she might even want to take some back to her parents' home.

He waved for Wu Pandi to leave, then called Qian Yunshuang in to cook. Thinking he would also nourish the old man, he took out a piece of meat and cut some.

This meat definitely can't be eaten all at once; it has to be dried and eaten throughout the whole winter.

When An Qingbai brought the meat over, Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two were gathered in the yard preparing to roast mutton.

The firewood was already burning, and a simple stone trough was placed on top of it.

Zhuang Zhimeng was directing Su Mengmeng to cut the mutton into chunks, while Jiang Yanxia was grinding chili peppers into chili powder. Zhuang Zhimeng had cumin powder, so she didn't need to make it.

Just then, An Qingbai arrived, and they asked him to split the bamboo strips into skewers to skewer the mutton.

Zhuang Zhimeng put away the leftover fence from last time.

"Why did you bring meat with you? Didn't I tell you that's not good!"

"My mother agreed!"

Hearing that her aunt had agreed, Zhuang Zhimeng accepted it.

So they sent An Qingbai to do the work, and An Qingbai went willingly.

After the bamboo skewers were split and washed, Zhuang Zhimeng picked up pieces of mutton and skewered them. The other three, seeing her actions, also came forward to skewer the mutton.

With more people, things moved quickly; the skewers were ready in no time. This time, Zhuang Zhimeng brought out 4 jin (2 catties) of mutton.

Once skewered, they are placed on a stone trough to grill, with oil brushed on them from time to time. Finally, cumin powder and chili powder are sprinkled on top, sizzling and dripping with oil, making them look very appetizing.

Zhuang Zhimeng distributed a few skewers of the first batch of grilled lamb to everyone, and she took a few for herself too. It was really delicious. Luckily, everyone could handle the spice; it was truly spicy, tender, and flavorful, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

The group finished eating in a few seconds. An Qingbai took over the seat of the grilled lamb skewers, not wanting to tire out his Zhizhi.

Not only was the aroma of meat strong at Zhuang Zhimeng's place, but the entire Anyang Brigade was filled with the smell of meat that night, and the aroma lingered for a long time.

Those who go hunting have three days off and don't have to go to work.

The next day, An Qingbai came to ask Zhuang Zhimeng to help her gather pig feed, and also to see if there were any other places where Zhuang Zhimeng had found the gold bars.

The two went to the place where Zhuang Zhimeng had gathered pig feed last time and filled two baskets with it. Zhuang Zhimeng then pulled An Qingbai to show him the peculiar stone.

An Qingbai went over to take a look, and the stone was indeed very unique, looking like it was pointing the way.

"I dug from here last time. Shall we start digging from here again?"

"Try digging to the side! You've already dug this area, there shouldn't be anything left!"

The two then began digging within a one-meter radius to the side.

As she dug, Zhuang Zhimeng sensed something was wrong.

"Brother Qingbai, come and take a look! Is there a secret passage here?"

An Qingbai heard the sound and ran over immediately. The two of them had been digging separately, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing that what was in front of them really looked like a secret passage, they carefully dug deeper.

After digging to a depth of nearly two meters, the secret passage was completely exposed.

Seeing that Zhuang Zhimeng was curious and wanted to go inside, An Qingbai quickly stopped her.

"Wait a minute before going in, in case there's poison gas!"

The two waited for quite a while before An Qingbai walked in first, saying, "I'll go in first, and you can come in when there's no danger!"

After watching An Qingbai go inside, Zhuang Zhimeng obediently waited outside.

After waiting a short while, Zhuang Zhimeng heard the voice and stepped into the secret passage. "Come in!"

The secret passage isn't very long; it doesn't take long to walk through it.

At the end of the path was a secret room, where An Qingbai was waiting for her.

"Is there a mechanism in this secret room? We don't have the key. How do we open it?"

An Qingbai was also examining the secret room, trying to figure out what was different, which might be the key to opening it.

"Why don't we try the simplest thing, push the door open? Maybe it'll open with just one push!" After saying that, Zhuang Zhimeng stepped forward and pushed the door.

An Qingbai was about to say it was useless, he had already tried it.

The door opened, and there was An Qingbai...

An Qingbai could only accept the fact that he was not as strong as Zhuang Zhimeng, since she was his partner and not someone else.

The two entered the secret room and saw several large boxes stacked together.

"This must be the treasure they've been looking for!"

When Zhuang Zhimeng saw these large boxes, her eyes lit up. Was she about to make a fortune again?
