Chapter 643 Treasure Amount
The night wind at the end of June brought with it a unique coolness from the mountains, blowing on the skin and causing tiny bumps. The moonlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting swaying shadows on the mountain road, like countless prying eyes.
He Yuan was frightened by Chen Qing and said in a hoarse voice, "We are firm materialists and are not afraid of any monsters!"
He Yuxiang silently took a few steps back and no longer took the stick as the vanguard.
Xiaoyu was the bravest one in the family. After the fear subsided, her eyes lit up with excitement: "Are our parents and grandparents here to see us?"
Chen Qing got goose bumps all over his body. "Help! I'm guilty! It's all my fault for talking nonsense."
She just looked at a dark place that seemed to be able to swallow her. The fear of ghosts and gods rose in her heart, and words came out of her mouth. She regretted it after she said it.
He Yuan felt his scalp tingling when he heard what Xiaoyu said, and felt that the situation was not good.
He Yuxiang stepped back again and came to his uncle's side.
He Yuan held his hand and comforted him: "It's okay, the leader said that nothing will become a spirit after the founding of the country."
Xiaoyu said innocently, "But my mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma have all become ghosts."
Chen Qing wanted to kneel down to Xiaoyu.
Please ask her to stop talking.
So scary.
I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
Her voice trembled: "Xiaoyu, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Xiaoyu used the flashlight to scan them and saw that they were about to hug each other. She laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Chen Qing said weakly: "Thank you."
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled.
I think it's fun to tease them.
"Let's go. I'll be the vanguard. Brother, just tell me which way to go."
"good."
He Yuxiang's voice became weak.
Xiaoyu walked in front bravely and fearlessly.
He Yuan led the two people beside him to walk faster so that if there was any danger, they could protect Xiaoyu in the first time.
Xiaoyu looked back at her uncle who was always paying attention to her and said to him, "I picked up some stones. If there are things in front of me, I will shoot them in the eyes. Uncle, don't be nervous. I will protect myself well."
"Okay, walk slower."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaoyu holds a flashlight in her left hand and a wooden stick in her right hand, and her journey of pioneering is bold and smooth.
Chen Qing really admires Xiaoyu. Her Xiaoyu is so brave!
The deeper you go, the denser the vegetation becomes, almost completely swallowing up the trail.
The chirping of insects around them seemed to become sparse, replaced by a hollow silence. Only the sound of their footsteps and breathing seemed particularly clear.
The three people behind Xiaoyu all felt different degrees of fear, but Xiaoyu was the only one who walked forward confidently, as if there was a smooth road ahead.
Xiaoyu would look back at them from time to time, say a few words to comfort them, and became the only adult in the family.
When Xiaoyu pushed aside a bunch of thick vines with the smell of damp rotten wood, a dark hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through suddenly appeared before her eyes.
A cold breath mixed with the fishy smell of earth and old rock dust blew out from the cave, making people's hair stand on end.
But He Yuxiang recognized the protruding eagle-beak stone above the cave entrance at a glance, "This is it!"
He Yuan felt the musty air inside, and he bent down and went in first with a lantern in hand.
The space inside the cave is not big, but it is extremely cold and dry, and the air seems to have been frozen for a long time.
After He Yuan went in, he saw Xiaoyu, picked her up, and patted the dust off her body.
He Yuxiang and Chen Qing also climbed in one after another. The light from the four people's flashlights cast twisted and jumping shadows on the uneven rock walls. In the innermost part of the cave, there were obvious signs of artificial backfill on the ground, and the color was slightly different from the surrounding area.
He Yuan asked Chen Qing if he had a handkerchief to cover the two children's mouths and noses first.
Chen Qing really does have it.
So He Yuan tied He Yuxiang up.
Chen Qing was tied up by Xiaoyu.
He Yuxiang asked: "Where are you and your aunt?"
He Yuan: "It smells bad, but it's not poisonous."
Chen Qing: "You guys wear it."
He Yuxiang didn't hesitate any longer. At his command, the excavation began and the soil was dug up one shovel at a time.
When He Yuxiang's shovel made another crisp "clang" sound, everyone knew that they had hit something hard, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Everyone carefully brushed off the dirt, and a black metal box cover with dark rust on the surface gradually appeared. The box was larger than expected.
He Yuxiang took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole.
With a click, he slowly opened the lid of the box, and the box made a series of creaking sounds.
There are many small suitcases inside the big box.
Everyone took them out and spread them out one by one.
As He Yuxiang opened the key, gold, US dollars, and jewelry appeared in front of everyone one by one.
He Yuan began to check the amount.
Chen Qing stood aside silently.
The mood became heavy.
Because she suddenly remembered that in the world of the book, He Yuxiang had so much money and just wanted to save his sister, but all his money was plundered and his sister was gone. He didn't know how desperate he must have been.
The overwhelming hatred made him grow up, made him seek revenge on that group of people at all costs, and also led him to a dead end.
He Yuxiang looked at the shining gold and jewelry, but his gaze fell on his aunt. She had a serious expression and no one knew what she was thinking.
Among the four people, only Xiaoyu kept exclaiming, "Oh my god, so much money! What kind of money is this? Wow! This gem is so beautiful! It glows."
She touched this and looked there.
So excited.
He Yuan pointed at them and found that two boxes were missing: "Thirty-six kilograms of gold and one hundred thousand US dollars are missing."
“So much is missing!”
He Yuxiang is angry!!
Seeing that he was angry, Chen Qing felt a little better. At least He Yuxiang was alive now.
He Yuan: "I'll find a way to find him, ask him to return the money, and put these things back."
There were five boxes of gold, ten boxes of US dollars, and two boxes of jewelry on the scene.
The two boxes of jewelry were packed in small boxes. There were thirty perfectly cut diamonds, some of which were even more than three carats, twenty-five pigeon blood rubies, as bright as blood, more than a dozen emeralds, and several jade pendants and rings with rich water content and exquisite carvings.
The value of these gems is difficult to accurately measure in terms of money.
Chen Qing felt that even without counting the value of these jewels, based on the exchange rate of millions of gold to US dollars, He Yuxiang would already have more than two million yuan.
The current two million has amazing purchasing power, which is not much different from the hundreds of millions of assets in the future.
This money means that even if He Yuxiang and Xiaoyu don't work hard in their entire lives, it is enough for them to live a peaceful life.
He Yuxiang didn't ask his aunt if she liked anything, because everything here couldn't be taken out, so he still had to work hard.
After hiding everything, everyone planned to return the same way.
