"Then you should go tomorrow. My dad said that the uncles have already prepared the land, and there are still 200 acres of corn to be planted. My mom and the others are selecting seeds today, and they should be planting by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."

The two rested for a while, then got up to work on the monthly exam papers they had brought back from school the day before.

When Zhang Hongmei graded Er Ya's work, she felt that Er Ya had improved too quickly. She only got one word problem wrong in arithmetic, and her basic Chinese knowledge was correct. She only got two questions wrong in explaining the meaning of words. However, her progress was really significant, and she had learned quite well.

"Sister Er Ya, the reason you got the Chinese questions wrong is because you haven't read enough. You need to read more extracurricular books, even newspapers will help. The reason you got the math questions wrong is because you didn't understand the meaning of the questions. In summary, it's still because you haven't read enough."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll read more books in the future, but I can't afford them."

"I don't have many books here, but I have some old newspapers at home that you can look at."

"Okay, I'll come to your house to see."

After discussing a few more things, Liu Erya went home.

Zhang Hongmei finished all the work outside before entering the space.

The main reason for this trip up the mountain was to see the treasure left by her ancestors. Yesterday, when Zhang Hongmei heard Li Juying say that something had come up, she felt very uneasy. Although it had nothing to do with this, she felt that time was running out. She had no basis for her feeling, just a hunch.

After studying the map in the space for a long time, I finally determined the approximate location and went to the warehouse to find the compass.

I looked at the hiking clothes and gave up; the color was too conspicuous. In the end, I prepared a stun gun, a dagger, and a rope and put them in my storage ring. Only then could I sleep peacefully.

The next day, Zhang Hongmei set off before dawn. The treasure was hidden deep in the mountains, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get back if she didn't leave early.

Arriving at the graves of Zhang Aiguo and his wife, they respectfully kowtowed three times, wishing their family could be reunited. They then lit the paper money.

After sitting on the ground for a while, he stood up and resolutely went into the deep mountains again. Since he had already accepted the harm of this body, he would also accept the benefits that came with it.

By the end of April, wild vegetables were already visible on the mountain. I picked quite a few that I thought were edible. Although I was heading to find treasure today, I couldn't go into the mountains empty-handed, or people would become suspicious.

Zhang Hongmei also recognized wild vegetables; she picked dandelions and water spinach the most.

Many trees have sprouted leaves now, though they are few, but at least we can see green leaves.

We've already gathered quite a few wild vegetables, so let's hurry on our way.

It's been several hours and I haven't seen a single person on the mountain. The women are busy selecting seeds, the men are busy tidying up farm tools, and everyone is tired, so it's quite quiet on the mountain.

After walking for about two more hours, the trees became denser, with many pines and cypresses, creating a lush, vibrant green landscape.

Zhang Hongmei found a rock to sit on. She took out her water bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls of water. Her feet were numb from walking for four hours straight.

He pulled out a map and saw a small, obvious hill, but he was right there and hadn't made any special discoveries.

The entrance was under a cypress tree, and the cypress tree in the picture looked very large. Zhang Hongmei stood up and circled around again, but only found three cypress trees, narrowing down the search area.

The three cypress trees were about the same size, but one was noticeably weaker than the other two. Zhang Hongmei believed it was this tree, because the treasure was hidden under it, and its root system must have been affected.

Following the map's directions, Zhang Hongmei moved a rock, revealing a stone slab underneath. The slab was covered with mountain-skin stone, which she carefully cleaned. She then took out an iron rod from her spatial storage, intending to pry it open slowly. However, the slab was too thick and too large; Zhang Hongmei pried for a long time without making a move, as if it were a stone that had always been integrated with the mountain.

Zhang Hongmei sat down next to her, thought for a while, and decided to give it a try, since they had already come this far.

I walked over and touched the stone slab with my hand, thinking about my hand. The stone slab immediately disappeared. A hole about two meters in diameter appeared.

Zhang Hongmei didn't dare go down. She took out a powerful flashlight from her spatial storage and shone it down. After waiting for a while, there was no sound and no animals climbed up.

I waited for about half an hour before daring to go down, mainly because I was afraid there was too much carbon dioxide in the cave and I would suffocate if I went in.

I walked down the steps one by one. At first, it was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass at a time. But the further I went, the wider it became. When I finally reached the bottom of the last step, I realized that the place was huge, probably several hundred square meters, but it was completely bare and empty.

Zhang Hongmei thought for a moment, then took out the treasure map. Oh, so this place was just a decoy; the real treasure was hidden behind this stone chamber, in the center of the small hill.

Heading towards the left front of the stone chamber, I squatted down by the stone wall and first swept it with my flashlight. Finding nothing unusual, I reached out and felt along the corner, and suddenly felt a protrusion. I knew that this was the switch.

The treasure map says that the switch needs to be pressed five times in a row to open. If you press it too few times or not in a continuous manner, you have to wait a day before you can start again.

What kind of mechanism is this? Why is it designed so mysteriously?

There was no time to think about anything else. He reached out and pressed the button five times in a row, and saw the stone wall next to the entrance of the stone chamber suddenly move.

Zhang Hongmei was particularly impressed with the designer. Logically speaking, the entrance should be behind the switch, but she didn't expect it to be in the opposite direction.

I walked over and shone my flashlight a few times, but there was no response, so I went inside.

The inner stone chamber was even larger, probably around a thousand square meters. The boxes inside were neatly stacked, but Zhang Hongmei didn't have time to look at them now; she stored everything into her spatial storage. Finally, she walked to the center, placed her flashlight on the ground, and discovered an inconspicuous square frame. If you walked on it, you wouldn't even notice it could be opened. She took out her dagger and pried it open from the upper right corner. Slowly, she moved it aside, revealing only a box about thirty square meters inside. She stored it in her spatial storage and closed the stone slab again.

After leaving the stone chamber, I walked to the switch and pressed it seven more times, and the stone wall automatically shut off.

Go up the steps, squat down at the entrance, take the stone slab out of the space, and then cover it up tightly.

We finally made it out perfectly; it wasn't too dangerous.

I checked the time and it was already 2 PM. I quickly moved the stone back up, covered the surrounding rock, and then headed back.

The journey back always seemed to go by very quickly; we soon descended the small hill and had the leisure to look around in the pine and cypress forest.

They actually found several clusters of wood ear mushrooms, and Zhang Hongmei happily picked them all.

A wild rabbit darted past her, and Zhang Hongmei's eyes lit up—it was meat! But the rabbit was too fast; she couldn't catch it. If only she had the hunting and trapping skills of a heroine in a novel, at least she could get some meat.
