Chapter 154 The Shape of the Stinky Ditch
Qiao Mo originally thought that something so smelly must be black and greasy, making people feel sick at the sight. Unexpectedly, it was only light yellow, and the bottom was clear and visible. If it didn't emit an unpleasant odor, it wouldn't look dirty at all.
She originally wanted to get some liquid out of the ditch to test it to see what was inside, but she realized that she was chemically illiterate, so she had to give up and spread out her spiritual sense to look around.
The surrounding vegetation was lush, and it seemed that the smell had no effect on the soil or plants. Her spiritual sense slowly spread outward, but after covering two hundred meters, she still didn't find any clues. She decided to look for clues underground, so she slowly penetrated her spiritual sense underground.
"So that's how it is." Qiao Mo's spiritual sense penetrated more than ten meters underground, and he saw a yellow liquid seeping towards this side through the moist soil.
She followed the barely perceptible yellow liquid and finally found the source about two hundred meters away from the ditch: about ten meters underground were two large boxes, which were not only wrapped in layers of oilcloth and oil paper, but also covered with a thick layer of yellow substance like mud on the outside.
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, and the layer of yellow substance had been eroded by the moisture in the soil for a long time, and was slowly dissolved. After being dissolved, it was carried into the ditch by rainwater and the moisture in the soil, making the ditch stink.
"What's that under there? It stinks!" Qiao Mo released his mental power to examine the contents of the box, wondering what could be so smelly, what use could it be? Is it poisonous? Is it wrapped around the box to prevent spoilage or theft?
"Which rich man left this behind?!" Qiao Mo, who was wondering what that layer of stuff was used for the previous second, was stunned by the things in the box the next second.
There were two boxes measuring one meter by half a meter by half a meter, one box was neatly filled with gold bricks, and the other one contained jade and porcelain wrapped in silk cloth. They were not very valuable now, but in a few decades, they would be priceless.
"These things must not have been buried recently. I wonder if their owner is still alive?" Qiao Mo was hesitating whether to take these things away. According to her investigation, this stinking ditch existed decades ago, so these two boxes have been buried here for at least decades.
Qiao Mo stood there thinking for nearly an hour, and finally decided to take the things out: they had been buried here for decades, and the possibility that the original owner was still there was too small. Instead of letting others get a bargain, it would be better to get a bargain for himself.
So she took out two gauze masks from the space and put them on, then took out a hoe and a shovel and started digging hard.
She dug non-stop for over an hour before she saw the yellow outer shell. It took her another half an hour to remove the dirt around the boxes. Finally, she used a shovel to remove all the thick outer shell, and then shoveled off a few layers of oil paper. After making sure there was no trace of yellow substance on it, she waved her hand and put the two boxes into the space.
