"Huh...what is that?"
Shen Yun pointed to the grass nearby, feeling that something was attracting her attention. She wanted to go and see, and also wanted to understand what was attracting her.
"What?"
"What's wrong?"
Shen Lei and Shen Yu carefully gripped their machetes and looked around cautiously. They used their knives to push aside the grass and explored everywhere.
"Why is there a hole?"
"Rabbit hole?"
Shen Lei moved closer and looked around carefully. It didn't look like a hole dug by a rabbit, but rather a hole dug by humans.
"Do you want to go in?"
"Let's test it first. Maidong, throw me a burning stick."
Chen Lei was the most courageous, eager to explore the situation. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and the excitement in his heart made Chen Lei's face flush.
"Be careful... the hole isn't very big."
"Haha...don't worry!" Chen Lei waved his hand. He was not afraid at all. Now all that surged in his heart was the excitement of rising stimulation.
"Why is there a cave here?"
"That's right! It's really weird. I don't understand!"
"If you don't understand, don't think too much. The more you think, the more worries you will have." Wen Maidong touched his sister's head. In fact, what he wanted to touch most was Chen Yun's head.
"That's right...Brother...Brother Lei Zi has been in there for so long, should we follow him in and take a look?"
"Or... let's go in too!"
It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement? They don't know what's going on inside. Wen Maiya and Wen Maidong both looked conflicted. They didn't know whether they should go in or not, a dilemma.
Shen Yun, standing by, couldn't help but ask the system. She trusted the system, believing it would warn her if there was any danger. However, the system hadn't said anything, so she figured there wouldn't be much danger. Of the group, Shen Yun was the most relaxed and at ease.
"Well, come on... let's go in."
Wen Maidong, Wen Maiya, and Chen Yun, who were a little anxious after waiting for so long, also started to plan to enter the cave to find out what was going on. The three of them looked around more cautiously and entered the cave.
The cave entrance was only wide enough for one person, but once inside, a completely different feeling emerged. The cave was pitch black, devoid of light. If it weren't for the machetes clenched tightly in their hands and the nearly extinguished stick, everyone's heart would have been in their throats.
"Brother...brother...are you guys there?"
Chen Yun pulled Wen Maidong's clothes and held Sister Maiya's hand tightly, and he couldn't help but feel nervous inside.
"Here it is... Niuniu, Niuniu... Hurry up and move forward."
The cave echoed with a sound, and Wen Maidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, the three of them quickened their pace and headed towards the slightly brighter area ahead.
"This... this is? This..."
No one could have imagined that there was a hidden world inside. The entrance was narrow, the interior was deep, but in the end, they found themselves in a paradise.
"spa……"
"Wooden house...tables, chairs, benches..."
"This is? A place where people live?"
Everyone couldn't help but explore around, and no matter how they looked at it, they found it to be extremely magical. It was beyond everyone's expectations. They had never thought of it, nor had they heard the villagers talk about such a place.
"This... I think we need to go back and ask Dad if they know if there is such a place."
"Yes, yes, you must ask clearly."
After returning, they must understand this place clearly. If they don't understand, they will feel uneasy. With such a large secret base in front of them, no one knows whether it is a pie in the sky or a poison hidden in it.
"It's covered in dust. I wonder how many years it's been since it was used. Look, these are no longer usable."
"Hmm, hmm, it breaks easily when touched. I guess it hasn't been used in years."
"Let's go and take a look around. If there are people living here, it means there's no danger."
Wen Maiya and Shen Yun began to walk around. The place wasn't very big, just a wooden house, a small plot of land, and a hot spring pool. It was simple and straightforward. Shen Lei and Shen Yun were studying the hot springs, their delight overflowing. With this place, bathing in the winter wouldn't be a hassle anymore.
"Huh... so many jewels..."
"Wow...we're rich..."
The exclamations drew everyone's attention back to the boxes neatly arranged one after another in the wooden house, not hidden at all.
"Is this... a stroke of luck?"
Looking at the treasure in front of them, everyone couldn't help but look at each other's eyes with suspicion, and then they pinched each other's soft flesh. This was real, not fake, not an illusion, nor a dream.
"Oh my God! We're rich..."
"I'm rich... I'm rich..."
"But we can't take back all these things. Our home is not safe."
Now, with the destruction of the "Four Olds" everywhere, these things can't be taken out at all. What a pity, there are so many good things, shining brightly, making people want to hold them in their hands and play with them immediately.
"Wow... Niuniu... Niuniu... Come quickly and see, what a beautiful jade hairpin... What a beautiful hairpin..."
"So many...so many...so many good things..."
They almost felt like little mice in a rice jar, secretly enjoying themselves. So many things, so much jewelry, who knows whose collection it was, now it's a bargain for them. They can't take it back, but they know where it's going, and they'll definitely be able to use it in a few years, when the situation is less tense. They say: In troubled times, hide gold; in prosperous times, hide antiques.
"It looks so good... Niuniu... Look, do you like it?"
Holding a piece of white jade pendant, Shen Lei approached his sister like he was presenting a treasure. He had always known that his sister liked these jade things. Unfortunately, the good things at home were hidden by his parents, and they didn't know where they were.
"I like it... Thank you, brother..."
Shen Yun looked at her brother with joy and gave him a big smile. The jade pendant in her brother's hand really caught her eye. She was a big fan of jade. If it weren't for this moment, she would really want to wear a jade bracelet and a jade pendant, not a single piece of jewelry.
Wen Maidong, standing by, clenched the jade hairpin tightly in his hand, silently holding it in his grip. He gazed into the distance with a slightly deep gaze, wondering if he would ever be able to hand it over to the person he wanted to give it to.
No one paid any attention to the three people's quarrel. Everyone was immersed in the dream of getting rich. There were five boxes: one box of jewelry, one box of calligraphy and paintings, one box of gold and silver, and one box of porcelain and books.
