“Lili, the crab seedlings are important. You should go and discuss this with your friend first. I’ll walk back by myself. It’ll also be a good opportunity to check on the rice paddies along the way.”
Gu Lili thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement with the village head's words.
But that friend is myself, so there's no need for further discussion.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Lili decided to visit the residence bestowed upon her by the Emperor.
If I go home now, I'll definitely be seen by the village head on the way.
Then let's go to the residence bestowed by the Emperor, sit down and think about how to properly resolve this matter.
Gu Lili parked the carriage, took out the key from her spatial storage, opened the door, and went inside.
The courtyard was still somewhat desolate, just like last time.
Gu Lili thought of the dust in the front hall and decided to walk towards the artificial hill.
When they reached the edge of the artificial hill, Gu Lili stopped and brought up her personal space.
Seeing the remaining balance in the storage function, Gu Lili had an idea.
If the people don't have money, she can temporarily give them crab seedlings on credit.
By the time the golden apple snails are removed, the mud crab larvae will definitely be mature.
Then she can take the blue crabs back and sell them back into the system, which will be a sure-fire way to make money.
At that time, all we need to do is sign documents with the people and go through the local county government, and there shouldn't be any major problems.
Thinking this, Gu Lili couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration.
She's incredibly clever!
This way, we not only have a place to raise mud crabs, but we also solve the people's problems. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
Gu Lili was so happy that she accidentally touched a protruding rock on the artificial hill. The rock behind her suddenly opened up, revealing a dark cave inside.
Hearing the noise behind her, Gu Lili was startled.
She reached out and touched the inconspicuous stone again, and to her surprise, the crack closed up again.
Gu Lili was pleasantly surprised, never expecting that the mansion bestowed by the Emperor would contain hidden mechanisms.
The thought that the previous homeowner was a wealthy businessman made Gu Lili wonder if there was some kind of gold and silver treasure hidden in the mechanism.
Thinking this, Gu Lili touched the mechanism again, and the gap creaked open once more.
Gu Lili took out the flashlight from her spatial storage, thought for a moment, and then picked up a few pebbles from the ground, deciding to test the waters first.
Based on the TV show plot, there must be some kind of hidden weapon or arrow behind this mechanism.
If you accidentally step on or touch it, the poisoned throwing knives will fly towards you with a whoosh.
Gu Lili threw the pebble into the cave and quickly hid behind a nearby artificial hill.
However, there was no sound for a long time.
Gu Lili peeked out from the artificial hill again, and after throwing away all the pebbles in her hand, there was still no movement from inside the cave.
Gu Lili mustered her courage and walked over, but when she was almost at the door, she turned back.
She picked up a stone and struggled toward the cave.
Upon reaching the door, Gu Lili slammed down the stone in her hand, which effectively blocked the door from closing.
To test whether it could really stop it, Gu Lili went back and touched the mechanism.
The stone door could no longer close when it reached the stone Gu Lili had moved, so Gu Lili reopened the door and walked in with peace of mind.
Gu Lili turned on her flashlight, and the pitch-black cave instantly became bright.
The cave wasn't as big as Gu Lili had imagined; it was almost completely visible.
It wasn't like Gu Lili had imagined, with gold and silver jewelry piled up all over the cave.
It could be said to be completely empty inside, but it's not entirely accurate to say it's completely empty.
At least Gu Lili saw many spider webs coiled in the cave, but nothing else.
It's possible that the authorities discovered this cave when they were confiscating property, and then took everything from inside.
Or perhaps the wealthy businessman simply didn't have time to hide; who knows?
Gu Lili's initially cheerful mood instantly soared.
It seems that his dream of getting rich quick has been shattered.
Gu Lili gave a self-deprecating laugh and decided to go out.
There's nothing to do in this cave filled with cobwebs.
Gu Lili had only taken a few steps when she felt her feet become soft. Before she could react, she lost her balance and fell from the air.
It shouldn't be very high, because Gu Lili only felt a little pain.
Gu Lili quickly picked up the flashlight and checked the surroundings.
The flashlight shone so brightly that it hurt Gu Lili's eyes.
All that could be seen was glittering gold, and Gu Lili couldn't help but swallow hard.
After a moment of stunned silence, Gu Lili finally came to her senses and shone the flashlight overhead.
It turned out that Gu Lili had stepped on a trap leading underground, which caused her to fall.
Gu Lili estimated the distance to be about two meters.
Moreover, the ground was covered in mud, which is why Gu Lili wasn't injured.
Gu Lili carefully examined the place with a flashlight. It should be a pit that could accommodate three or four people, but it was filled with three boxes of gold.
Gu Lili used the system to calculate that it was worth one million taels of silver.
This gold must have been hidden by the previous owner of this house.
Tsk tsk tsk, it actually ended up in Gu Lili's hands by some twist of fate.
The original owner of this gold had committed a crime and was exiled to the frontier, so naturally he was no longer able to enjoy it.
Without hesitation, Gu Lili pocketed the three boxes of gold in front of her and then climbed up the straight ladder that was already in the pit.
There's a saying that goes, "One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade."
Gu Lili felt that she was doing an excellent job as a waiter.
Since this "predecessor" was rich but heartless and committed a crime, then Gu Lili will make good use of this money for him.
It can be considered a form of robbing the rich to help the poor, and Gu Lili felt at ease taking the money.
It was so stuffy inside that Gu Lili really didn't want to stay any longer, so she decided to go out.
Gu Lili climbed out, restored the mechanism to its original state, left the cave, carried the stone away, and closed the cave door.
After everything was in place, Gu Lili finally started to get excited.
With this gold, not only can the system be upgraded, but more crab seedlings can also be purchased.
Thinking of this, Gu Lili couldn't wait to exchange the gold she had just received for silver notes.
Then, without hesitation, I pressed the upgrade button.
After pressing the button, Gu Lili immediately closed her eyes again.
My heart is racing; I wonder what the upgrade will bring to the space.
Could she let other people in? That way, if they encounter danger, Gu Lili could bring her family directly into the space.
Thinking this, Gu Lili slowly opened her eyes.
However, the result of this upgrade was quite different from what Gu Lili had expected.
