The box wasn't locked; it was simply held together by clips. Although some of these clips were rusty, Mu Liuyun managed to open them with a little force.
"This is so flimsy."
Are all the members of the Gu family as unreliable as Gu Nan?
Upon opening it, you'll find a piece of jade that looks steeped in history, with a dragon head carved at one end and a tail shape at the other.
Mu Liuyun once followed a treasure appraisal livestreamer who looked like a cat, and knew that this kind of jade was a very common and precious antique.
Moreover, in live-streamed antique appraisals, most of these antiques are either damaged or have changed color.
But these things in front of us are intact and have a bright green color, so they must be treasures of extremely high value.
If even one of the boxes contained such treasures, Mu Liuyun couldn't even imagine what was inside the remaining boxes.
"Damn, this is no small offense."
Looking at the remaining corner of the iron box still buried in the soil, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but sigh.
"If they really manage to sell all of these things, what a huge loss that would be."
Originally, Mu Liuyun wanted to connect with an antique appraisal livestreamer to see the value of these items, but she didn't have that much time now.
"I remember there was a cat-like streamer mentioned in the novel; maybe I could use that..."
After a moment's thought, Mu Liuyun realized that perhaps Gu Nan could report himself. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about dragging Sister Wang and the others into it.
So he put the jade into another box and put a random stone he picked up into the box.
Then, Mu Liuyun buried the box back in the ground, leaving one corner sticking out, making it very conspicuous.
After finishing all this, Mu Liuyun clapped her hands: "Done."
At the convenience store, Gu Nan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a conflicted expression, his eyes darting around as if he were somewhat afraid.
Directly opposite him, Sun Heungmin, with his dark skin and tall stature, was staring intently at him, as if he were looking at his rival in love.
"Well, I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer."
Feeling really uneasy being stared at, Gu Nan jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), ready to slip away first.
But before he could even put on his shoes, a pair of strong hands pressed him back down: "Don't rush, handsome~ My sister finally brought back a guest. If we don't take good care of you, what will our fellow villagers think of us sisters!"
Gu Nan looked up and saw Mu Jianghe, dressed in women's clothing, looking at him with "charm," pressing on his shoulder and pinching his fingers with orchid fingers.
"Hahaha..."
Gu Nan could only smile awkwardly, then sat there feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He simply couldn't understand why there was another man staring at him so intently, even though it was one thing for his sister to be a man.
Is this Sun Erniang's Steamed Bun Shop?
Sun Erniang doesn't have one, but Wang Erya does.
Sigh, if only I were a man like Mu Liuyun.
Gu Nan sighed imperceptibly and placed his hand back on the table on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Seeing Gu Nan sit down again, Mu Jianghe and Sun Xingmin exchanged a glance, both of them visibly relieved.
When Wang Erya brought this person over, she specifically emphasized, "Xiaoyun said he might be a fugitive. Be careful, keep him calm for now, I'm going to find Xiaoyun."
Sun Xingmin and Mu Jianghe were on high alert. However, seeing Mu Jianghe getting closer to Gu Nan, Sun Xingmin couldn't suppress his anger and glared at Gu Nan.
Just then, Mu Jianghe glanced out the window and saw Sister Wang standing outside, making an "o" sign with her arms.
Mu Jianghe immediately understood, tugged at Sun Xingmin, and said to Gu Nan, "Oh, I'm going to check on my sister. It's almost time to cook dinner. Brother Min, let's bring the dishes together."
As she spoke, Mu Jianghe gave Gu Nan a gentle smile before quickly running out the door.
When Sun Xingmin came out with him, Mu Jianghe immediately locked the door of the convenience store, then looked at the window and winked at Wang Erya.
Wang Erya understood and moved away from the window to Mu Jianghe's side. Sun Xingmin couldn't wait to ask, "Erya, where's Xiaoyun? What's the situation with this person?"
“Xiaoyun told me that he had taken care of things on his end, and that we shouldn’t be too afraid, as this person is just a tomb raider.”
“Tomb raiders?”
Upon hearing Wang Erya's words, Sun Xingmin and Mu Jianghe simultaneously exclaimed in surprise in low voices.
Living in the northernmost part of China, this was the first time they had ever heard of tomb raiders.
This place is said to have gold mines, so there used to be gold diggers, and many fugitives also fled here.
But there aren't many rich people's tombs here, so why would tomb raiders come here?
Wang Erya shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Xiaoyun only told me that he had taken care of everything and we could let him leave directly. If he wanted to ask about any place, Xiaoyun also told us to take him there."
"Huh? Do we still need to talk to him?"
Mu Jianghe looked out the window at Gu Nan, who was picking chicken feathers from his head, and a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Gu Nan inside seemed to suddenly have a spider-like sense of touch, turning his head to look out the window. Mu Jianghe and Wang Erya's expressions instantly changed, and they waved to Gu Nan with smiles.
When Gu Nan saw Wang Erya return, a smile appeared on his face. He took three steps at a time and walked out the door, saying, "Beautiful lady, you're back!"
This joy seemed genuine; it appeared that Mu Jianghe's influence on Gu Nan was still too great.
"Handsome guy~"
"Hey beautiful, could you do me a favor?"
Seeing that Mu Jianghe was about to speak again, Gu Nan quickly pulled Wang Erya a few steps forward.
He truly has no chance to enjoy such a "twin flower" relationship.
"Hmm, here?"
Wang Erya frowned as she looked at the location described on Gu Nan's phone.
Her reaction startled Gu Nan, who couldn't help but ask, "What, did I come to the wrong place?"
Gu Nan was genuinely afraid of going to the wrong place. He had slept in a chicken coop yesterday because of this, and if he really went to the wrong place, he wouldn't even be able to sleep in a chicken coop for the next few days.
Before he can restore the Gu family's glory, he will become a "frozen corpse" on the roadside.
"No, no, I need to ask."
After thinking it over, Sister Wang decided to ask Mu Liuyun. However, she didn't dare to call in front of Gu Nan, but instead sent a message to Mu Liuyun.
"Xiaoyun, he's starting to ask for directions. Should I take him there?"
A few seconds later, a large, flamboyant character appeared on the screen.
"bring!"
Although it was written words, Sister Wang seemed to be able to feel Mu Liuyun's strong emotions from these words.
"Okay, I understand. Come with me!"
After saying that, Sister Wang smiled and walked ahead to lead the way. Gu Nan, who was behind her, couldn't help but swallow again at the sight of her.
"This younger sister is really something. Maybe if we're twin sisters, I should grit my teeth and bear with it too?"
At worst, he'll just be somewhere in the middle; it's not like he can't accept that.
