The 60s: Living Alone and Lovin' It

(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...

Chapter 190 Oh my god, there really is a treasure!

Following Chen Ye, Gao Fei and Cen Zixiang also took stones of different sizes and tested them one by one from near to far.

After struggling for a long time, no sudden situation occurred, so Chen Ye stepped in. The two people tried to hold him back but failed.

"Don't come in yet, I'm the best at movement and skill. If there's any emergency, I can dodge it. You two can just meet me at the door."

She would never let the two of them run away first. If she got injured accidentally, she would have to ask these two people to take her to the hospital!

The two men had just raised their feet and had to put them down helplessly. They really couldn't all go in at once. If they were really injured, all three of them might not be able to go back. Someone had to provide treatment or go back to report the news.

"Ye Zi, come out and let me in," Cen Zixiang was very worried.

"Right, right, right. Just come out first and let one of us go in. You're a girl, what if you get hurt?"

Chen Ye ignored the two of them. She had to be fully alert and pay attention to any sudden situations that might occur at any time. It was also a good opportunity to see why it was so bright in there.

The area inside the stone chamber is quite large, with large wooden boxes neatly arranged all around. They are really two times larger than the wooden boxes they use at home.

Each wooden box is covered with exquisite carvings and lacquer. Although there is a lot of dust on it, it does not seem to affect the beauty of the craftsmanship.

Just a rough look shows that there are at least hundreds of boxes. I wonder how much manpower was wasted in transporting these things in.

We don’t even know how many people have lost their lives just to make a little money. It is impossible to let too many people know so many things. They have to be killed to ensure that these things remain secrets.

Looking towards the place where the light was coming from on the wall, there were round beads as big as a baby's fist inlaid on the wall. There were nine in total, scattered around, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Is this the legendary Night Pearl? I don’t know if it is a real Night Pearl, but Chen Ye was shocked. This thing really exists!

No, it seems like this thing has always existed, but people say it's very rare and precious. Look, people use these beads as light bulbs, how extravagant they are!

Not to mention the antique display cabinets standing against the walls all around. The person who hid the treasures was quite particular. He could just put them in the boxes. Why did he have to display them all out? What's the problem? Is there anyone who would come here to visit?

Looking at the various exquisite boxes on the shelf, I guess the things inside must be priceless, not to mention the two small hills on the left and right at the innermost part.

That must be a real mountain of gold and silver, right? No, this display looks a bit like burial objects.

Chen Ye paused, and instantly goose bumps appeared on his arms. Oh my god, could they have entered the tomb through the back door?

No, I remember the novel only said that these were things hidden by a corrupt official in a certain dynasty, but it had nothing to do with the ancient tomb. Besides, where is this? It is the ancient Ningguta. Which rich and powerful person would build a cemetery here?

She shook her head vigorously, thinking, don't let your imagination run wild. Tomb robbing is an immoral act, so how could she do it unintentionally?

"Ye Zi, what's wrong?" Suddenly seeing Chen Ye stop, Cen Zixiang and Gao Fei hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, I'm just overwhelmed by this mountain of gold and silver. Come in, there's nothing to worry about here, but let's not touch those things. What if there's some deadly poison that kills instantly?"

Chen Ye jokingly reminded them, and both of them understood that it was best not to touch the things inside at all. They were covered with thick dust and would leave marks if touched.

But don’t let these three of them think that they are very selfless and hand over all the good things they find. Others still suspect that they took the things inside without permission. That would be a huge injustice.

None of the three of them went near the boxes, but just walked along the middle.

"Oh my god, there really is a treasure here, and it's such a huge amount!"

"I didn't expect this treasure really exists!" Even though Gao Fei followed in, it was just to satisfy his curiosity. He really didn't expect to find such a huge treasure.

Chen Ye couldn't have imagined that there would be so many treasures as described in the book. With all these things, the male and female protagonists did nothing, but they could be considered the richest people, right?

Giving so many things to anyone with a decent brain would make him the richest man, but that guy even praised the male and female protagonists as the best of the best.

Bah, she said those two looked like the stupid sons of a landlord, and she didn't see how they were any better than others.

"I didn't expect that I actually guessed it right. What do you think this person was thinking? He actually put the treasure map on the jade pendant. If it's accidentally lost, won't the treasure become someone else's?"

For example, this jade pendant happened to fall into the hands of a common citizen like her by accident. If she had not read the novel, she would not have associated the pattern on the jade pendant with the treasure map.

Tsk tsk tsk, these people really know how to play. They have to hide the treasure. Do they really think that all descendants are smart and can definitely keep it?

"Speaking of which, what was the person who hid the treasure thinking? Why pile the gold and silver outside instead of putting them in the box? And the gold is fine, but the silver is real? Why doesn't it oxidize?"

"You two are saying that the gold and silver are fake, right?" Is it really possible that they won't change color if left like this?

Chen Ye's words made both Cen Zixiang and Gao Fei laugh, but they didn't realize it until they said it. Why put those things properly in the box? Why pile them up? Who were they showing off to?

"Haha, maybe that's how people used to store their treasures. Ye Zi, do you think those on the wall are night-shining pearls?"

"I don't know. It would be great if it wasn't. Then we could apply for one and use it as a light bulb at home."

It was obvious that this place had been well cleaned. Although it looked dusty now, it was obviously cleaned very beautifully.

Cen Zixiang knocked on Ye Zi's head and said, "What are you dreaming of? Even if it's not a night-shining pearl, it won't be a cheap thing."

"You're right. If you go to such great lengths to hide something, you'll get something cheap. Now that we've found it, let's go." They were looking for it to confirm whether there was really a treasure here. Now that it was confirmed, there was nothing to see.

"Let's go. What happens next is not our responsibility."

There was no greed in Ye Zi's eyes. There were not many people who could do what Ye Zi did with so many treasures. Ye Zi was not like a little girl who grew up in the countryside and had no knowledge.

Chen Ye...mainly because she didn't see the treasure in the box, otherwise she would definitely be tempted. It's not like the Bodhisattva in the temple who has no desires.
