Chapter 46: What’s that hard thing?

After being scolded by Ruan Anan, Xu Yancheng was not angry at all. Instead, he scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"My wife is right! I'll dig! I'll dig right now!"

After saying this, Xu Yancheng put all his strength into digging the shovel deeply into the soil.

Sweat flowed down his bronze neck, soaking his washed-out army green vest.

Although the work was tiring, he felt happy in his heart.

An An's fierce look just now was exactly the same as when he was a child!

What does this mean?

It means she doesn't treat herself as an outsider!

Thinking of this, he felt like he was injected with chicken blood, and he was full of endless energy.

After a while, three camphorwood boxes in the big pit were revealed.

Seeing that something had been dug out, Ruan Anan quickly handed over his water bottle.

"Are you tired? Have a drink of water and take a rest."

If you are so energetic, you would be sent to a youth cadre site to open up wasteland.

I’m afraid all the hardworking people in the team will be laid off and have to rely on relief food!

"Ah!" Xu Yancheng responded loudly, took the kettle and drank it down in one gulp.

Well, the water my wife gave me is sweet!

While Xu Yancheng was still immersed in the happiness of "sweet water", Ruan Anan had already deftly opened the lids of three large camphorwood boxes.

"Oh My God!"

Ruan Anan gasped when she saw that the box was full of yellow, heavy gold bricks.

The wealth of the old wealthy businessman in Min City is indeed not to be underestimated!

This... this is real!

She reached out to pick up a piece and weighed it.

My goodness, I can’t even lift it with one hand!

Ruan Anan's eyes sparkled, "Xu Yancheng, we're rich!"

Xu Yancheng was so shocked by the three boxes of gold that he stood there in a daze, "...Me!"

Wow, after coming to Min City, I became a capitalist?

"You what?"

Ruan Anan's face turned cold and he walked up to Xu Yancheng.

"I'm warning you, the Great Movement will eventually end."

"When the time comes, this will be the capital for us to settle down and make a living."

"I'm used to living in an old Western-style building. You can't let me live a hard life with you forever, right?"

The woman's body fragrance penetrated into Xu Yancheng's nostrils without any hesitation as the two of them moved closer.

He lowered his eyes to look at Ruan Anan's extremely bright face, his heart beating wildly and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.

He didn't pay much attention to Ruan Anan's other words.

What he cares about is, I want to live with you forever!

Xu Yancheng's ears turned slightly red, but his tone was very serious. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"That's more like it!" Ruan Anan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth when she saw his embarrassed and obedient look.

[Gun and ammunition detected one meter behind me at the six o'clock position]

Guns? Ammunition?!

Ruan Anan frowned and walked calmly to the location indicated by the system.

When she rented a house in this place, the system prompted her that there was a "treasure".

But I was in a hurry at that time and didn't investigate further.

I didn’t expect that there was such a deadly thing buried inside!

She suppressed her fear, turned around to look at Xu Yancheng, and asked casually, "Xu Yancheng, have your ancestors ever been soldiers? Or, are they related to soldiers in any way?"

She had to find out first.

Without a second thought, Xu Yancheng shook his head and said, "No, the Xu family is from the countryside in southern Anhui. It wasn't until my father was noticed by Old Master Ruan that he came to Hai City with him. My mother went to Hai City to look for her relatives because there was no one in the family. Unexpectedly, her relatives were gone too. In the end, she was murdered by a villain and was rescued by my father. She married my father to repay his kindness. You've also seen the situation of my maternal grandfather's family. They should be wealthy merchants in Min City."

This is strange.

Ruan Anan pointed to the open space next to the gold that had just been dug out.

"Here, can you dig a little deeper? I feel like there might be something underneath."

Instead of guessing, why not dig it out and see!

Xu Yancheng is a soldier, he knows everything about guns and cannons.

"Okay!" Xu Yancheng said nothing, picked up the shovel and continued digging.

Ruan Anan was not idle either.

She moved to the box containing the gold bricks and blocked it with her body.

Swish! The heavy, golden treasures disappeared in an instant and entered her space.

The empty box was filled with several large jars of spicy pickles and plum wine that she had pickled herself.

After doing this, she locked the empty boxes tightly with a large copper lock, intending to let Xu Yancheng bury them back later.

Anyway, this idiot wouldn't think of opening the box to check.

Even if the gold was missing, he wouldn't know.

"An An, come and see, what is this?"

Xu Yancheng's shovel hit something hard. He leaned over in the cold moonlight and scraped away the loose soil.

An army green metal box was revealed.

On the lid of the box, a ferocious black skull logo is clearly visible!

The moment he saw the sign clearly, the smile on Xu Yancheng's face froze instantly.

The honest man who was digging the hole just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a terrifying murderous intent.

It’s the “Blood Skull”!

That notorious foreign enemy spy organization that has committed countless blood debts on the border!

He would recognize their marks even if they turned into ashes!

Seeing Xu Yancheng facing a formidable enemy, Ruan Anan immediately stepped forward.

Another haunting box like this?

These damn foreign devils are really omnipresent!

She frowned and pointed at the box and said, "Open it! See what's inside?"

"An An, listen to me!" Xu Yancheng explained anxiously, "I can swear that I and this organization..."

"I know!" Ruan Anan looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her like a fool, "I don't doubt you."

The surprise in Xu Yancheng's eyes flashed away, and then turned into loneliness and sadness.

"My ancestors had no connection to this. My mother was well-educated and very patriotic. She definitely didn't know about this."

"Okay, stop explaining!" Ruan Anan burst out laughing, "Take a closer look."

She pointed the flashlight at the two boxes and said, "Your family's treasured box, passed down from our ancestors, is made of the finest camphor wood. Over the years, the corners and edges have rotted, and you can even see the holes from the insects."

The beam of light shifted back to the army green box. "Look at this again. An ordinary iron and wooden box, buried in this damp soil. Not only is it rotten, it's not even rusted! It's dazzlingly new! Do you think it looks like it's been buried for years?"

Xu Yancheng's eyes gleamed coldly, "You mean, this thing was secretly buried here recently? Because the Cheng family... oh no, this yard is deserted now, and by coincidence, they mistook it for a hiding place for something dirty?"

He stood up suddenly, a murderous aura emanating from him. "Since the thing is not only buried, the man must still be in Min City. No, I have to go back and report immediately! Destroy the Blood Skull's lair!"

Ruan Anan didn't answer immediately. She closed her eyes and used her mind to control the power of space to sweep across the entire yard.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, her brows furrowed. "No! If the Blood Skull really regarded this as its hideout, it wouldn't be hiding so little! Unless..."
