Hearing the old lady's words, Song Yan'er's eyes lit up:

"Really? You've inquired about it?"

The old lady answered matter-of-factly:

"Or do you think I just bought a yard casually?"

Song Yan'er...

What else?

Song Yan'er watched Xiao Yang's movements with great anticipation, even feeling that he was digging too slowly and wanting to do it herself, but General Si spoke up:

"Don't worry too much about it, because when they were catching corrupt officials, they had already dug up the ground three feet deep. What could possibly be left? Probably just a lot of sand!"

Song Yan'er...

Since General Si said that, he must have been involved in that incident!

Ugh! What a waste of all that excitement!

"Forget it then, Xiao Yang, you don't need to dig anymore, it's a waste of your energy!"

Xiao Yang looked at Song Yan'er and Zhang Shuang, who were all wilted like eggplants, and found it somewhat amusing:

"What's the rush? Didn't you say you've always been lucky? What if they can't find it, but you do!"

Song Yan'er...

I don't quite believe what you're saying!

Xiao Yang wasn't just talking casually, because his shovel had hit something very hard, probably a wooden box or something!

Xiao Yang beckoned to Song Yan'er, and Song Yan'er immediately ran to him, her eyes shining as she looked at his shovel.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Xiao Yang...

"Hmm, look here!"

Hearing them talking, the old lady immediately came over to join in the fun:

"Really? Could it be a case of murder and burying the body?"

Song Yan'er...

Xiao Yang...

It's really frustrating. Can't they say something nice? It's so late at night, and the thought of this is kind of creepy!

The old lady realized the inappropriateness of her words and said with a smile:

"I was just kidding, kid. Keep digging. If you find any treasure, you can have my share!"

Xiao Yang...

Suddenly I don't want to dig anymore. If I really dig up a body, I probably won't be able to sleep for several nights!

Xiao Yang stomped on the hard object he had dug out, then looked up at the sky, gestured towards where he was standing, and then looked at Song Yan'er:

You really are incredibly lucky!

Then they continued digging!

Song Yan'er and the old lady exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement. Since Xiao Yang had said so, it was most likely a treasure!

Suddenly, in the hole Xiao Yang had dug, he shook the thing he had just hit with his shovel, and he fell right down!

"Xiao Yang!"

Just as Song Yan'er screamed in terror and was about to jump down, Xiao Yang replied:

"I'm fine, Yan'er, don't come down! Throw a torch down first!"

Song Yan'er's tense heart calmed down a little when she heard Xiao Yang's voice!

"Xiao Yang, I'm coming down!"

Song Yan'er took the torch and went down with General Si's mother. General Si originally didn't want his mother to go down as well, but judging from Xiao Yang's voice, the cave shouldn't be too deep. After his mother's persistent pleading, General Si finally threw down a rope and led his mother down!

As soon as Song Yan'er and the old lady got downstairs, they couldn't help but scream!

Yes, the screams were deafening, for below lay a small, secret chamber filled with gold, gleaming brilliantly under the torchlight!

"Holy crap, Xiao Yang, how did you manage not to scream? We could have won right here!"

The old lady was also very excited. Although she had seen all kinds of good things as the Empress Dowager, she had never seen so much gold laid out together before!

The old lady picked up a piece of gold and bit it:

"Holy crap, it's all real!"

Song Yan'er...

Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths to collect fake gold?

But I'm still very happy!

Oh, I really want to lie down on this and sleep, to feel the warmth of the gold!

"The opening is so small, it might be difficult to move it, otherwise why would it be left here?"

General Si is always very rational, just like Xiao Yang, who is usually very rational, was somewhat agitated at this moment! And General Si has always maintained an outsider's perspective!

"Let's talk about this tomorrow. It's getting late, why don't we go back and rest?"

The old lady has lost her initial excitement and is now so sleepy she can barely keep her eyes open. Although she is usually very energetic, she is getting on in years, so it's time for her to rest!

General Si put the old lady first in everything. When he heard her say she was sleepy, he immediately squatted down in front of her. The old lady didn't care whether she was in front of the children or not, and naturally leaned on General Si's broad back!

His eyes were half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"You should all get some rest too. You'll have the energy to move the gold tomorrow! We'll be leaving now!"

Song Yan'er found it amusing to look at the old lady; one moment she was excited about having so much gold, and the next she was about to fall asleep!

Song Yan'er was puzzled. Was this true for all older people, or only for old ladies?

There's no other way but to come back tomorrow. If only Xiao Yang and I, or Song Yan'er, knew, it would be like last time in the cave, where they would all be swept into the space in one go. But there's no way to reveal that I have a space, so I can only trouble my family!

Song Yan'er's family said that they could do more of this kind of hard work!

Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang went straight back to their room. It was already very late, but so much had happened that day that Song Yan'er couldn't fall asleep in bed!

Listening to the breathing of someone who was also awake:

"Brother, how come I'm so lucky!"

Xiao Yang reached out and hugged Song Yan'er, spouting nonsense with a straight face: "It's because you met me that I transferred all my good luck to you! All the good luck we both have combined has been given to you! How could you not be lucky!"

Song Yan'er...

"Why do I feel like your luck has improved ever since you met me?!"

Xiao Yang...

"Maybe it's because we both bring good fortune to each other!"

Song Yan'er rolled her eyes in the night...

Xiao Yang probably knew Song Yan'er was rolling her eyes without even looking! He burst out laughing!

Xiao Yang himself never expected that these were the words he would say!

Song Yan'er: "What are you laughing at?"

For no reason at all, I suddenly started laughing so happily!

"nothing!"

Xiao Yang would never admit that he was actually laughing at himself, laughing at how much he had changed over the years, that he could just utter such sweet words so easily!

If Song Yan knew that Xiao Yang called this sweet talk, she would probably laugh herself to death!

Song Yan'er...

There's nothing wrong with you laughing like that!

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and then he reached out and placed his hand directly under Xiao Yang's armpit, starting to tickle him!
