Ruan Mengmeng looked at the comfortable old man and hesitated;
As he spoke, he took out a few White Rabbit candies from his bag and stuffed them into Ruan Zilong's pockets, signaling him with his eyes to give them to the old man.
Ruan Zilong understood what she meant and nodded.
He was short and thin. He squeezed through the gap next to him and stuffed the candy into the old man's hand.
The old man felt the object in his hand and was about to refuse, but Ruan Mengmeng spoke;
"Here, uncle, give it to your grandchildren at home to make them sweet!"
The old man saw that she was on the right track and didn't mind. He put the money in his pocket and laughed.
"You two kids are really naughty..."
He opened the wooden fence on the side and waved his hand;
"Come on in! Others can only stay in there for two hours at most, but I like you two, so you can stay a little longer!"
How long exactly was that extra time? That was something the brother and sister had to experience for themselves.
"Okay! Master..."
The brother and sister looked at each other happily, and walked inside hand in hand.
After entering the yard, the two smelled a strong smell of rust, and the smell became stronger the further they went inside.
This scrap yard is quite large, with five large, neatly arranged warehouses at the back, filled with sorted and organized scrap.
In this era, plastic products were not very popular, so there were more metal items.
The two of them glanced around the yard casually, and when they found nothing of value, they crossed the yard and went into the warehouse at the back.
After entering the first warehouse, the two saw that the warehouse was full of worn-out enamel basins, rusty iron racks, screws, tools, blackened iron boxes, and other metal products.
As they approached, a smell of rust hit them in the face. The two men didn't mind and rolled up their sleeves to slowly dig inside.
Ruan Mengmeng told Ruan Zilong in advance that there were some things that he couldn't understand and found strange.
Be sure to remind her or show it to her, it might be a treasure!
After searching for a long time, both of their fingers were covered with rust, but they still didn't find anything valuable!
Ruan Mengmeng was speechless. Could it be that the scrap yards and Taobao in novels were all fake?
She didn't give up and continued to fight. She didn't believe that she couldn't find something valuable.
Ten minutes... twenty minutes... twenty-five minutes... time passed little by little, and just when she was exhausted and panting, her eyes suddenly lit up...
A rusty, palm-sized iron box fell out from a pile of shaved metal sheets.
There was a crisp "crack" sound after it landed on the ground, and it didn't sound like it was empty at all...
Overjoyed, she carefully picked up the box, wiped off the rust and dust, and used her thumbnail to dig into the cracks in the box;
With a "click", the box was opened, revealing the yellowed cotton cloth inside. The cotton cloth was bulging, and no one knew what was wrapped inside.
She put the box aside and slowly opened the cotton cloth. Inside was nothing but two emerald green hairpins, which glowed fluorescently under the reflection of the sunlight.
Ruan Mengmeng put it on her body and rubbed it, then looked at it in the sunlight for a while, and was pleasantly surprised. The glossy texture was indeed of top quality.
Luckily, it didn't break, otherwise it would have been a huge loss! Also, thankfully, its owner wrapped it in several layers of cotton cloth, which allowed it to be preserved safely until now.
After feeling that there was no one around, Ruan Mengmeng did not hesitate at all. She stretched out her mental power to wrap the jade hairpin and directly stored it into the space.
Ruan Zilong was already used to it and was able to face it calmly this time. He just looked around and when he found that there was no one there, he lowered his head and continued searching.
Hard work pays off, and the brother and sister soon found more than a dozen treasures in the corners and crevices;
Some are in iron boxes, and some are hidden in the gaps of metal shelves. If you don’t look carefully, it’s really hard to find them!
Most of the things hidden here are jade products, small yellow croakers and gold bars.
There is also a special one, which is a pair of gold locks and gold bracelets found by the lucky star Ruan Zilong!
It was probably made by an adult for a child, but something happened before the child could put it on, so it was hidden in the gap.
After they finished watching it, they put it away.
After searching for a while, they felt that there was nothing worth looking for, so they reluctantly left and ran to the next warehouse...
This warehouse, about the same size as the previous one, was filled with old and broken wooden items.
From large wooden shelves to small wooden toys, all kinds of tables and chairs with missing legs;
The two of them didn't say much, just rolled up their sleeves and got to work. If Ruan Mengmeng hadn't been afraid of being discovered, she would have taken out the mask from the space long ago...
To be safe, just be patient!
The two kept searching and found two sets of gold jewelry in the wooden box.
It was made rather roughly, but it was made of gold after all, and it could be worth some money in the future. Ruan Mengmeng didn't despise it and just put it away.
He searched the dressing table in the corner again and found a compartment inside, which was wrapped in several thick layers of oil paper.
Ruan Mengmeng carefully peeled off the layers one by one, revealing a set of imperial green jade jewelry with exquisite luster!
This was a good thing. She carefully wiped it on the cotton cloth it was wrapped in. When she found it was intact, she felt relieved. After putting it into her space, she continued to search...
Later, the two found several treasured paintings and rings.
The items were not very big; even the scroll was rolled up tightly and hidden inside a slightly higher table leg.
If the two of them hadn't become more and more skilled, it would have been really hard to find...
Ruan Mengmeng had a sharp eye and could spot something special among the many messy pieces of furniture from a distance.
Several huanghuali wood tables and chairs.
This is a treasure. She removed the messy broken furniture that was pressing on it, dusted it off, and put it away.
My younger brother Ruan Zilong was wondering why his sister was collecting broken furniture.
Seeing his confusion, Ruan Mengmeng smiled and whispered;
"This is a good thing. If you come across it, please tell me..."
Ruan Zilong nodded and continued to look. Ruan Mengmeng did not waste any time and walked towards the place where there were more broken furniture.
After a while, she discovered a dressing table and dressing chair made of golden nanmu wood.
There were lifelike patterns carved on it. She took a deep breath, as if she smelled the scent of money. After wiping off the dust, she put it away as usual.
The two men kept searching with their heads down, and finally stopped after finding several kinds of precious wooden furniture.
Although they are all tattered, it does not affect the value.
After all, this is a scrap yard, so it's good enough to be able to find it. Ruan Mengmeng didn't dare to expect everything to be intact.
If it is incomplete, it will definitely not be its turn, but it is still very content!
