With steady steps, he rushed forward immediately after entering the room and confirming that his things were placed.

He ran to the treasure chest in a few steps, opened the secret button and quickly scanned it, rubbed it a few times lovingly, and then closed the lid.

Don’t move the bag yet, take off your clothes first.

The floor was covered with a short-haired carpet, and underneath the carpet was a mahogany floor. Fang Zongtang once again felt the weight of the words "richest man". The next second, he bent down and sat on the carpet and began to take off his clothes.

Find the end of the thread, hook it out skillfully, hold the clothes with one hand, pull the thread with the other hand, wrap the cotton thread around your fingers a few times, and pull it hard.

The entire line was pulled out.

She looked at her index finger that was bruised, then looked at her empty thumb, and couldn't help but sigh.

The ring passed down to her by her great-grandfather was also missing. She didn't know if it had fallen into the river. If the ring was still there, she would only need to pull out the thin thread inside, hook the end of the thread and pull it, and she would be able to take apart the entire piece of clothing without any effort.

It’s nothing like now, where there is still a circle of marks left.

Two pieces of gold fell out of her collar, and together they weighed a little more than three taels. She used the same method to remove the beads from the back of her collar and the waistband.

If she had hidden treasure, she would definitely not leave it inside her clothes.

Sure enough, on the back, the two front pieces, the buttocks, and the two trouser legs, she took out a thin thangka divided into six pieces.

The thangka depicts Xuanzang's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. After the pieces were put together, Xuanzang's eyes were solemn and he pointed at the demons and monsters crawling in front of him, trying to convert them.

After being dismantled like this, the value must have dropped drastically. I don't understand why she would hide such a thing on her body, is it because she likes this painting?

If we were to date it, it should be from the late Tang Dynasty. Thangkas of that period should be very heavy, but this one is light and thin. There are traces of being torn apart on the back, and the top has been pulled apart.

It is very difficult to repair it. The craftsmanship is easy to say, but there is no material. She will not travel all the way to the mainland to find materials.

Thinking of this, Fang Zongtang's eyes lit up and he carefully put the thangka away.

This may be her key to figuring out where the decade has gone.

She opened the bag and spread it on the ground, gathering all her belongings together and roughly sorting them out.

1,800 Hong Kong dollars in cash, two gold flakes weighing more than three taels, three jade beads the size of an index finger, and other small miscellaneous beads. After a simple distinction, there were 100 gold beads, 50 silver beads, and 120 red and green beads in total.

The gold beads together weighed more than five taels. The silver beads were not valuable, but fortunately they were larger than the gold beads and also weighed more than five taels. The price of gold beads in a legitimate trading house was 30 US dollars per ounce, and the price of gold per gram was less than one dollar. Of course, her price was the price ten years ago. It should be said that the prices of all the gold and silver jewelry she knew now were ten years ago.

Antiques rise in prosperity, gold rises in troubled times, and the price should be even higher now. Gold nuggets, gold beads, and silver beads can all be sold for cash, and three jade beads the size of an index finger can also be sold for a good price. The remaining one hundred or so miscellaneous beads will require a bit of luck.

If sold individually, they are too small to command a high price. Even if they can be sold, the price will be heavily discounted. It is better to keep them and wait until a suitable buyer is found.

What was left were the things left by her great-grandfather, no matter if it was a worthless old pocket watch or a priceless Song imitation Tang Dynasty watch, as long as it was something left by her great-grandfather, she would not sell it even if it was a wooden nail.

At first glance, there are quite a lot of things, but the only things that can actually be converted into cash are two gold bars and a handful of beads.
