(A female protagonist who is outwardly cold but rich in inner world, a plain slice-of-life story, purely fictional with no research value, writing is hard, please be lenient, dear readers.)
C...
"Another person asked if the news was true. We don't want to waste manpower and find out it's false. It would be hard to say what would happen if the higher-ups blame us."
"That person said it couldn't be fake. He said there were records in the family that this treasure really existed. If they could find it, their plan could be completed ahead of time."
"I even followed the gap and saw clearly who the two people who were talking were."
Cen Zixiang asked anxiously, "Who is it? Is it someone from the compound?"
Gao Fei nodded: "It's Mr. Wu and Mr. Shen."
"Are they the two?" Cen Zixiang was shocked. He never thought it would be these two.
Cen Zixiang thought about the personalities of Mr. Wu and Mr. Shen. Mr. Wu was a difficult person to talk about. He didn't seem to have a good relationship with the people in the courtyard. He rarely got involved in anything. In everyone's eyes, he was a complete neutral.
It’s hard to describe Mr. Shen. This old man loves to change his wives. Now this wife, who is nearly 30 years younger than him, is his sixth wife.
This man never had a mistress during his marriage. As long as he wanted to marry a new wife, he would file for divorce. It was strange because he didn't make any trouble with his first five wives. They all seemed to have divorced peacefully.
Moreover, this person is good in other aspects and is particularly warm-hearted. It seems that he is always there for anyone who has problems. He has a very good relationship with others. The only thing that may be criticized is his attitude towards women.
"Then why didn't I hear you mention it later?" It sounds like there's something fishy about this kind of thing, and it's better to be wrong than to just act like nothing happened.
Gao Fei? He was so young at the time, and all he wanted to do was play and eat delicious food. He forgot about it the moment he heard it, and he never thought of telling his family about it.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I was almost fooled by your current appearance. When you were little, you were even more noisy than me. I could trick you away with just a piece of braised pork."
Gao Fei...it's really annoying to have a childhood friend who doesn't know you very well.
Chen Ye's heart moved when he heard this. Was the danger that the hero and heroine encountered afterwards commanded by these two families? Was their goal to reclaim the jade pendant?
The male and female protagonists are not that powerful. They don’t even have the strength to do farm work. How can they survive being hunted by two big families and even take the treasure for themselves?
Did the two families just give up after trying for a while and failing? It was unlikely. The novel didn't say who was targeting them, only that there was a mysterious force that kept causing trouble for them.
It was not until after the reform and opening up that it seemed as if the black hand behind the scenes suddenly disappeared. The male and female protagonists used the treasure smoothly all the way and finally became the richest man. It was not written whether he was the richest man in the city, the province, or the country.
Another one also became a powerful politician. People with this kind of mentality won't become rats? The person who wrote this book has even more distorted values than her.
Chen Ye thought about the male and female protagonists who were performing romantic dramas in the village all day long, as well as the various female and male supporting roles. He always felt that these people were not very smart. How did they become so powerful in the future?
"You mean to say that maybe Ye Zi's jade pendant is the one that the Wu and Shen families are looking for?"
Gao Fei nodded uncertainly: "I can't really explain it, I just have this feeling. It can't be such a coincidence that all treasures require jade pendants as keys, right?"
"What you said makes sense. There aren't that many coincidences. We can make bold guesses."
"Ye Zi, how about we give it a try?" Cen Zixiang asked Ye Zi.
"Okay, let's try it. Fortunately, I was thoughtful enough to bring the jade pendant with me."
Chen Ye muttered to herself, feeling delighted in her heart. She was still thinking about how to explain how she knew the jade pendant was the key, when suddenly someone brought her a pillow.
The three torches put together made the light in front of my eyes much brighter than before. The depression, which was about the size of a baby's fist, suddenly became clear.
Chen Ye took the jade pendant off his neck, gestured for a moment, and then placed the front of the jade pendant into the depression. The size was just right and it fit perfectly.
But after putting the jade pendant in, the door didn't open at all. Chen Ye wanted to pick the jade pendant out and try the other side, but he couldn't get it out no matter how hard he tried. Instead, because there was no gap, the jade pendant was pushed further inward.
Chen Ye was so anxious that sweat was almost coming out of his forehead. Cen Zixiang patted Chen Ye and said, "Don't worry, I'll try..."
Before Cen Zixiang could say the second trial word, he heard a dull cracking sound coming from the stone wall in front of him. Gao Fei was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed one of the two people who were almost clinging to the stone wall and pulled them behind him.
The three people stared blankly at the stone wall in front of them, which was at least three meters high and was slowly splitting to one side. Perhaps it was because of the long time, as the stone wall split, billowing smoke and dust spread out, choking the three people and making them cough.
This time, no one needed to pull them away. The three of them kept backing away and covering their mouths and noses with their hands. It was too choking.
The stone wall opened very slowly, and the dull crackling sound stopped after a long time. However, the three people looked at each other and did not rush over to take a look.
Gao Fei really acted like a big brother: "You two hide behind me, I'll go over and take a look. If I find anything wrong, you can leave first."
Every boy has read some strange books. If there are some mechanisms or poisonous gas in them, if he goes alone, at least there will be two people left to go back and report the news.
Will Cen Zixiang agree?
"No, I'll go. If there's any problem, you two should run away."
"No, I'll go. I can run faster than you."
"I'll go, my skills are better than yours."
"Oh my god, I'm older than you anyway, so the oldest one should go."
"I'll go. I have many children. It doesn't matter if I'm missing one."
Chen Ye...
She quickly made a pause gesture: "Alright, what's there to earn? Look, we've been opening it for a long time, and there's no movement at all. Besides, let's not go in yet. Let's throw a couple of stones in and see what happens."
The two looked at each other and looked at the open door. At this time, the smoke and dust at the door had almost dissipated. They thought it would be a dark space after opening it, but now it was very bright.
Gao Fei and Cen Zixiang quickly looked for stones, intending to throw them in as Ye Zi had said and try. If there was any fatal mechanism, it should be activated.
Chen Ye first struck a match. He didn't know how many years this place had been closed, and he didn't know if there was any ventilation inside. He didn't want the three of them to go in and get hurt due to lack of oxygen.
Chen Ye flicked the match into the stone gate with two fingers, and it burned out without going out due to lack of oxygen.
