Gu Rong pulled Cao Baobao along, saying, "Alright, alright, let's not look for books anymore. We can talk on the way. Let's go to town first."

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll also send a letter to my dad and ask if there's any news about the college entrance exams in Beijing," Cao Baobao said, turning to hug Gu Rong's arm to explain.

"Don't worry, I won't mention you. I'm just curious if there's any news."

Gu Rong thought it was nothing: "It's alright, let's go."

He greeted Han Xinyi, "Sister-in-law, we're going to town. We won't be eating at home for lunch. Is there anything you need to buy?"

"No, no," Han Xinyi poked her head out from the kitchen and looked at Gu Rong: "Do you have enough money? Wait a minute, I'll go get you some."

"No need, sister-in-law, I have money. We'll go first and come back early this afternoon," Gu Rong said, pulling Cao Baobao along as she ran after hearing that she would be given money.

The two walked and talked. Not only the two of them, but also the big tree at the entrance of the village was unusually crowded today.

As Gu Rong walked past them, she listened to a few words, all of which were about Han Jiameng.

But just as she rode past, she heard someone call her name.

She turned her head and saw it was Aunt Tao, the one who had told her the village gossip when she first arrived.

Gu Rong stopped the car and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Aunt Tao?"

Aunt Tao greeted them with a smile: "Are you going to town?"

"Xinyun is going to study, and we happen to have some time, so why don't we go to the recycling center and find her some books?" Gu Rong explained with a smile, "Does Auntie need anything?"

“Yes, yes, but you should go to the recycling station, that's at the west end of town, the supply and marketing cooperative is at the east end,” Aunt Tao said, then waved her hand after thinking for a moment.

"I was hoping you could help me bring back a bag of salt, but I won't make you go back and forth. You can go ahead, there's still some at home, enough for your next break."

Gu Rong thought for a moment, since they were also going to the supply and marketing cooperative: "If you're talking about other things, then that might not work, but salt is still an option."

"Okay, okay," Aunt Tao said, taking money out of her pocket. "Take the money. Just help me buy half a jin. You can go now."

"Okay, I'll buy it and send it to you later," Gu Rong said, taking the money, getting on her bike, and leaving with Cao Baobao.

The two switched places, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the recycling station.

Old Cao, who works at the recycling station, looked at the two young girls standing in front of him and assumed they were looking to pick up a bargain.

He held out his hand directly: "One cent to go in, one cent per pound for wood, two cents per pound for books and newspapers, and other things depend on the situation."

Without saying a word, Gu Rong took out two cents and handed it over, along with a few pieces of candy.

After giving it to her, Gu Rong asked with a smile, "Uncle, my sister is going to school soon, let's find her some books first. Where are the books here?"

Looking at the candy in his hand, Old Cao looked up at Gu Rong, then pointed to the right: "The book is on the right."

Don't go to the left side; if you buy anything there, you'll easily get caught. If you insist on buying, sell it instead.

"Thank you for reminding me, Uncle. We'll just buy some books," Gu Rong said, pulling Cao Baobao inside and heading straight to the right.

I'm still curious about what's on the left.

But she also knew in her heart that there wouldn't be anything good there.

When those people ransacked the house, even if there were any good things, they had already been secretly hidden away.

Even if some items can't be taken away, they will be sorted out when they are sent to the recycling center.

Moreover, the recycling center has been here all these years, and countless people have searched through it, so finding good stuff is not easy.

but.....

She has a cheat code.

Gu Rong called A Xi out: "Can you detect anything valuable in this area in the future? Books, gold, silver, jade, antiques, or the like?"

Looking at the surroundings, Ah Xi knew what the other party wanted to do: "Okay, but places like this rarely have anything valuable. What are your standards for what is valuable, Master?"

Gu Rong called it out just for fun, not with any intention of making money.

He gave a perfunctory reply: "Some antique calligraphy and paintings, rare books, or some valuable wood are all fine."

"Yes, Master, I will go and investigate now." Originally, this investigation skill was available after Gu Rong's search skill leveled up two levels.

But when Gu Rong bought this feature, it was the first one to be sold, and the higher-ups gave her a lot of bonuses, so they thought of rewarding Gu Rong.

Actually, it was mainly because it was afraid that if Gu Rong leveled up continuously and spent too much money, he would get beaten up and would have to use his own savings.

However, after investigating, it found that there was indeed nothing of value in this recycling center.

Just as it was about to go back, it noticed something different about the west corner of the wall.

It walked over, its gaze falling on a pile of wood, and its eyes lit up when it saw the few wooden crates mixed in among them.

Then he quickly floated to Gu Rong's side and excitedly pointed to the wooden part of the other person's body: "There are a few wooden planks over there, and it looks like there's something hidden inside."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong paused in his actions.

Gu Rong glanced at Cao Baobao, who was busy looking for books, and put down the comic book in her hand: "Baobao, I'm going to go take a look over there, I'll be back in a bit."

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Cao Baobao didn't even look up: "Okay, go ahead, be careful, call me if you need anything."

"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look and be right back," Gu Rong stood up and headed in the direction A Xi had indicated.

Gu Rong walked over and saw the wooden boxes it had mentioned, but couldn't tell the difference between them no matter how she looked at them.

I walked closer and knocked on it; it seemed to be solid wood all around, and didn't appear to have any hidden layers.

Moreover, it looks like an ordinary wooden box, not some kind of golden nanmu wood.
