Chapter 212 The Orchard
Finally, he smiled helplessly and decided to show them a little bit first to whet their appetite.
It's not realistic to take everything out, right? After all, we got quite a lot of things this time.
Leaving aside the things the common people brought to exchange, the old ancestor alone wished he could empty the entire Xianyang Palace's treasury.
If they hadn't stopped them, the ancestral storehouse would probably be empty by now, and even mice probably wouldn't want to visit it anymore.
Thinking this, he waved his hand and took out a large box from his backpack.
The box contained a lot of things, including exquisite porcelain and ancient books and historical records, all neatly stacked in one corner of the box.
This scene made Academician Zhao's eyes widen in astonishment. Not only him, but everyone present craned their necks in curiosity.
When they saw those beautiful porcelain pieces, everyone's eyes lit up. They were much more beautiful than those unearthed, with more exquisite patterns and more vibrant colors. Just by being displayed there, they could firmly capture people's attention.
After realizing what was happening, Academician Zhao rushed forward, his hands trembling as he stroked the neatly stacked ancient books, his eyes welling up with tears.
He was so excited! He never thought that he, an old man, would be able to see these long-lost ancient books in his lifetime. He was so... happy!
The other academicians also stepped forward, but none of them touched the box. Instead, they circled around it, occasionally making a few comments. It was clear that they were very interested in these things.
Not only them, but also Milair and the three sect leaders felt the same way. Although they didn't know much about the Qin Dynasty, these exquisite porcelain vases were really quite beautiful.
If this were placed in their sect or residence, just looking at it every day would naturally improve their mood.
Commander Zhang, who stood aside without stepping forward, watched the scene unfold with a smile, feeling both gratified and happy.
At that moment, their dimensional department took on a special meaning.
However, it was indeed getting late, and we couldn't stay here and study these things all the time, so he spoke up:
"Alright, Lao Zhao, take these back and study them first. After Gu Yatou puts everything into the storeroom tomorrow, come and get whatever you want. It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Xinyan and the others and said, "Gu girl, you should go back and rest early too. You don't have to go on missions recently, so you can have a good rest."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Academician Zhao even found two young soldiers on guard duty to carry the box of things to the Institute of Cultural Relics for him, and then he followed them off.
The others found it amusing, but they understood his eagerness, and then they all dispersed. After all, they had eaten and were satisfied, so they were all going home.
Gu Xinyan was in the same boat. After making an appointment with Miler to visit the underwater research institute she was building the next day, she hurriedly headed home.
However, it was already very late, and her grandmother and younger brother were asleep, so she didn't disturb them and quietly went upstairs to wash up and rest.
The next mission wasn't announced in advance, so it's unlikely there will be any missions anytime soon.
So Gu Xinyan had some free time, but after Xiaobai came back, he left a message saying that he was going to find Lele, and then he quickly left.
Before she could even ask what was going on, he had already disappeared. With one less little nag by her side, Gu Xinyan felt a little unaccustomed to it.
In the past, she would always chatter incessantly when she woke up in the morning, but today she woke up to quiet surroundings, which took her a while to adjust to. Indeed, habit is a terrible thing!
After washing up, she went downstairs excitedly, but when she got downstairs, she didn't see anyone, only a note left on the table.
Gu Xinyan was wondering where everyone had gone, but after seeing the message on the note, she realized that her grandmother and younger brother had gone to Qingyun Sect for morning lessons.
The early bird catches the worm. Yunyang Island is no longer what it was when she first arrived. Basically, all the warriors and academicians with spiritual roots go to Qingyun Sect for morning classes.
The warriors without spiritual roots weren't idle either; they went to practice their mental strength. Basically, everyone was busy, except for her!
She guessed he was a big freeloader on the island, because she knew without a doubt that Lu Yunting and the others had gone along as well.
With nothing else to do, she ate the breakfast her grandmother had left for her and then strolled over to Da Bai's Spirit Fruit Garden.
After all, she hadn't seen it for so long and missed it quite a bit. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the Spirit Fruit Garden, she was stunned by the orchard in front of her.
What was once a barren area is now filled with fruit trees, and they are all neatly arranged, with different kinds of fruit trees grouped together.
Moreover, the fruit trees were all laden with fruit, and each fruit was large, plump, and gleaming with an enticing sheen.
These fruits are not just tempting in appearance; they are truly spiritual fruits.
The fragrance and aroma they exude can travel far and wide, making people feel refreshed just by smelling them.
She said that all the fruit on those trees had been picked last time, so where did the fruity fragrance come from?
Seeing this scene, the mystery in my heart was solved. It turns out that the fragrant fruity aroma was coming from here!
It's only been a short time, but the Spirit Fruit Garden has changed so much. It's like a complete transformation. It seems that Da Bai has put in a lot of effort while they were away.
At this moment, she couldn't help but become curious, wondering what the big white thing had done to make these spirit fruit trees bloom and bear fruit so quickly.
However, she didn't pick it. After all, she had promised Da Bai that she needed its permission to pick the spirit fruit, and she couldn't just pick it at will.
So even though she was craving something sweet, Gu Xinyan resisted and shouted into the orchard:
"Big White, are you there? Big White?"
As her voice faded, a loud 'bang!' seemed to echo from the depths of the orchard.
It was as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground, followed immediately by the sound of rushing footsteps.
