He Yuhan quickly squatted down and dug the bowl-shaped object out of the soil. When she pulled it out, it really was a bowl.
He Yuhan excitedly held up the bowl and said to Han Yixian, "Brother Yi, look, this is a bowl. This is near a water source, and the appearance of a bowl means that someone may have been here before. Does that mean there is a way out here?"
Han Yixian took the bowl from his wife's hand, which was covered in a layer of mud and whose true appearance was obscured, and said happily, "Your guess is quite possible. Otherwise, how could there be a bowl here? Wait a moment, I'll wash it clean."
Han Yixian ran to the water source and scooped water from the pool to wash the bowls. Soon the mud on the bowls was washed away, revealing their true appearance.
This is not a porcelain bowl, but a metal bowl with black rust.
With Han Yixian's discerning eye, he immediately recognized it as a gold bowl. This made Han Yixian frown deeply; how could there be such a valuable gold bowl here?
Han Yi first held the gold bowl in front of He Yuhan and said, "Yuhan, it's very unusual that a gold bowl would appear here. How could something as valuable as a gold bowl be here?"
He Yuhan was also surprised. She took the golden bowl that had now revealed its true form and examined it carefully. She found the words "for imperial use" on the bottom of the bowl.
This discovery surprised her even more. "Brother Yi, look, there are the words 'Imperial Use' on the bottom of this bowl. This is something that only the royal family can use. How could it appear in this remote valley?"
However, this suggests that there really is a way out of this valley; we just haven't found it yet.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense, but the origin of this golden bowl is intriguing. After all, only the royal families of feudal dynasties used such imperial items, so we don't know which dynasty it comes from."
He Yuhan said, "Let's not worry about which dynasty it is for now. I'll put it away and study it later. Let's find a way out first. I'm very confident that we can find a way out now."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Your older brother said you have the best luck, and he was right. You made a discovery as soon as you came out."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "What good luck? I didn't just start looking for directions today. It was just a coincidence."
He Yuhan first stored the golden bowl in her spatial storage, and then they continued their search for a way out. With this new discovery, they searched even more carefully, not even overlooking the surrounding cliffs. Perhaps the exit wasn't at the bottom of the valley?
After searching all morning, they came across another fork in the road. The two of them didn't give up and went straight into the fork to continue their search.
They reached the end of the fork in the road and found it was another dead end.
The valley is lush with all kinds of flowers, grasses and trees, and many vines climb the mountain walls, making it a green landscape everywhere.
He Yuhan seemed to be very lucky today; just as they were walking back, she stepped on something again.
He Yuhan discovered that it was actually a shovel. The wooden stick on the shovel had rotted away and almost nothing remained, leaving only the shovel head.
He Yuhan quickly called out to Han Yixian, "Brother Yi, I've found something new, come and see!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian quickly ran to his wife's side.
He Yuhan pointed to the shovel on the ground and said, "Brother Yi, look."
Han Yixian stared in astonishment as he picked up the rusty shovel. "Wife, what kind of luck do you have? How did you manage to find this?"
He Yuhan glared at Han Yixian and said, "That's not the point, okay? The point is, why is there a shovel here? That's a construction tool. Who would bring a shovel here for no reason?"
Han Yixian also thought of this, and frowned as he said, "Yes, it's really illogical for this shovel to be here."
He Yuhan's eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "Brother Yi, do you think it's possible that there's an ancient emperor's or royal family member's tomb in this valley? Otherwise, how could there be a royal gold bowl? And this shovel was probably left behind during some construction project here."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "What you said is quite possible, but the capitals and royal tombs of ancient dynasties were all built in the Guanzhong Plain and the Central Plains. There are no high-standard tombs in our area."
He Yuhan said, "That's just what's recorded in history. Brother Yi, don't forget, the previous dynasty rose to power in this region. You never know. We found this shovel here, so let's search carefully. Maybe we'll actually find something."
He Yuhan took out metal detectors directly from her spatial storage. She and her husband each had one, and He Yuhan even taught Han Yixian how to use them.
Han Yixian's eyes lit up as he looked at the advanced and sophisticated instrument. "This thing is great! It would be very helpful if we were to detect any metal ores or something."
He Yuhan said, "Stop dreaming. I wouldn't dare to release such advanced equipment to the public; it would arouse suspicion."
Han Yixian sighed and said, "Yes, this thing is only for the two of us to use here."
The two began to explore separately, leaving no spot unchecked.
When He Yuhan reached the foot of a mountain wall, the detector suddenly reacted.
He Yuhan called out, "Brother Yi, I'm getting a reaction here."
Upon hearing his wife's shout, Han Yixian rushed over to He Yuhan's side and saw the detector in his wife's hand flashing incessantly.
He Yuhan then took the detector and began to carefully probe the surroundings. She discovered that the detector reacted more strongly when raised higher and less strongly when lowered.
Suddenly, He Yuhan looked up and stared intently at the mountain wall covered with green vines.
She said, "Brother Yi, could you peel back some of the vines on this cliff face and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian asked He Yuhan to take the detector from his hand, and then, following his wife's instructions, he peeled away the vines on the mountain wall in front of him.
He Yuhan carefully observed the mountain wall and soon discovered a mark that had been dug out by human hands.
She pointed to the mark and said, "Brother Yi, look, this doesn't look like it was formed naturally; it looks like it was dug by someone. It's just that it's been too long, so the mark is a bit hard to see."
Han Yi stepped forward and examined it carefully, exclaiming in surprise, "It really is! Wife, you're amazing! You even managed to find a clue from this. You're incredible!"
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Can you be serious for once? This is a crucial moment."
Han Yixian smiled and said, "No matter what, I feel completely at ease when you're by my side. Nothing else matters."
He Yuhan glared at Han Yixian and said, "Hurry up and look for any other traces like this on the surrounding mountain walls."
Soon, He Yuhan and Han Yixian discovered more and more traces that were hidden by vines.
These increasing new discoveries have greatly excited Han Yixian and his wife, who may soon make a major discovery.
