Chen Ye felt that it was almost time, so he quickly pulled the sleeve of his clothes to wipe his eyes, and tears began to fall.

Chen Ye... Oh my god, why is this pepper so spicy? I didn't find it spicy when I ate it?

The people who came with the funeral saw that Ye Zi's eyes were red from crying, and then they looked at Chen Lao Er who didn't shed a single tear, and shook their heads in their hearts.

Chen Laoer is a really untrustworthy person. He is so cruel to his own parents, let alone others.

Chen Laoer didn't know that because of Chen Ye's crying, his reputation was ruined.

Gradually, the grave mound was piled up, and it was considered finished after the filial son and grandson kowtowed to it. Chen Ye knelt down and kowtowed directly, and Chen Laoer was a step slow to react and followed Chen Ye.

Chen Ye thought to himself that he would just kowtow to get the New Year's money, but he had to pretend to be very sad and reluctant on his face. Finally, he was helped back to the village by an old lady in the village.

As for Chen Laoer, he had disappeared long ago. He never stayed overnight here. His wife must be unhappy that he didn't go home tonight.

By the time Chen Ye returned to the courtyard, listening to the villagers' words of comfort, almost an hour had passed.

She stepped into the yard and found that it was just as she thought. Chen Laoer would not miss the opportunity to plunder things. Fortunately, she had made preparations early. There was nothing in the house and there was nothing for Chen Laoer to take away.

She went to her room and took a look. It was in a mess and the quilt was thrown on the floor. Chen Ye shook her head, picked up the quilt on the floor and shook off the dust.

I knew this person would not give up. If he wasn't allowed to search the house thoroughly, he would always suspect that those good things fell into her hands.

However, those good things were really in her hands. She looked outside the door and didn't see anyone, so she went straight to the small shed in the backyard and found the small box in the corner.

The lid of this small box is a sliding one. Pull open the lid to reveal the contents inside. You wouldn't believe it, but these two old guys still have something in their hands.

Don't even think about the valuables, but you can exchange them for some money if you clean them up. There are three big gold coins in it, but the colors are not bright anymore. There is also a pair of gold bracelets. They look light in weight, but the workmanship is very delicate, and there are silk threads on them.

This craftsmanship is not something an old farmer should have, and it is estimated that the origin of the bracelets is not very good. There is also a pair of blackened bracelets. If she is not mistaken, these should be a pair of oxidized silver bracelets.

There was also a small red bag that had faded in color. The fabric should be brocade. She opened the bag and found a translucent green jade bracelet inside. Even someone like her who didn't know much about jade could tell that the material of the jade bracelet was quite good.

There is also a smaller bag, which should be made of the same fabric, but the color is different. Although it has faded a lot, you can still tell that it is pink.

She opened it and found a jade pendant the size of a child's palm. The jade pendant was finely carved with a pair of fat koi fish that looked as if alive.

In addition to the koi, there are also some lines. They seem messy but they fit perfectly with the jade pendant.

The material of this entire jade pendant is a bit like mutton-fat white jade. It feels particularly good in the hand. The middle is hollow, which always gives people the feeling that there should be something else there. But if you look closely, it seems to be carved like this intentionally.

These two jade items are something that the Chen family, a generation of old farmers, could never have. Where did they get them from? Could these two old guys have committed murder for money?

By the way, I remember hearing from the old people in the village that when the landlords were being beaten that year, many people in the village went to watch. They said that the landlord in the county town was in a miserable state and his house was demolished.

Those two old guys, how could they not take advantage of something like this? Maybe this thing was brought back from that time.

These two old guys are really tight-lipped. Judging from Chen Laoer's expression, it is obvious that they don't know the existence of these things. Otherwise, how could Chen Laoer just give up and leave so easily? Wouldn't he have to demolish the house to find these things?

It’s not that these things are valuable. At that time, they are not even as valuable as a bag of grain. But if they are well preserved and brought to the future, they can really be exchanged for a lot of money.

He put the things in a small bag. There were two bundles of banknotes in the box, both tied with quilt thread. Chen Ye opened one roll and counted them. The extra roll contained three hundred yuan.

The missing roll was worth less than a hundred yuan, and contained a few food coupons and cloth. These two old men had almost no food at home, but they were reluctant to take out these food coupons, as it would make things difficult for her, a child.

What a piece of shit, the old guy hid it, and in the end I got it. Chen Ye didn't put the small box back to its original place, but directly put it in a backpack.

She also took out several things from there and put them in a basket, covered it with a bag, and carried the basket directly to the back mountain. When others saw her, they just thought she was going to collect firewood.

Their village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the mountain that villagers often go to is the big mountain behind the village called Laohei Mountain. This is the mountain that Chen Ye went to.

Chen Ye followed the path often taken by the villagers into the mountains. Villagers often came here, so it was impossible to pick up firewood at the foot of the mountain. They could only find firewood by going deeper inside.

There was no green on the mountain at this time of year, and few people went into the mountain. Chen Ye walked for a long time and then stopped. After standing for a while, he turned around and walked to another path.

This path was obviously not as wide and flat as the one Chen Ye had just walked on. It should be a place where few people walked. After turning into the path, Chen Ye quickened his pace and walked for a long time before reaching a slope.

Chen Ye still stopped and stood still, listening carefully to something. After a while, when he was sure that there was no one around, he slid down the slope until he hit a very thick tree trunk. Only then did Chen Ye stop sliding down.

Chen Ye held the tree trunk and moved to the bottom of it. He took out the things in the basket with nimble hands and feet and put them into a large tree hole on the other side of the trunk.

After putting all the things she brought from home into the tree hole, she picked up a stone under her feet and blocked the tree hole. This place was also discovered by her when she walked here one time and accidentally slipped down. It was a good place to hide things.

After making sure that the tree hole was blocked tightly enough, she returned along the same route, picking up a lot of dead branches on the way to cover it up.

Although there are many trees here, firewood is not so easy to collect. You are not allowed to cut down trees privately. The firewood for burning can only be picked up from the dead branches that have fallen on the ground.

If you want to use wood to make furniture or something, that's not impossible, but you need approval from the village.
