Chapter 156 Discovering Gold Powder
Yu Jiaming's face was blank. He followed Xiaowu's gaze and thought, "Isn't it just that the vegetables in the yard aren't growing well? What's so good about that?"
Xiao Wu couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up, pulled Yu Jiaming over, and pushed him down again: "Look."
Yu Jiaming was inexplicably pressed to the ground by Xiaowu, and his eyes looked in the direction Xiaowu pointed.
In an instant, his eyes became strange: "Is that gold dust?"
Xiao Wu nodded excitedly, his voice full of joy: "Yes, it's gold powder. There is actually gold powder here."
Yu Jiaming immediately stood up and walked over. He scooped up a piece of soil and examined it carefully against the sunlight, his eyes widening. "It's gold dust, it really is gold dust."
Xiaowu nodded continuously, and the two looked into each other's eyes, conveying a meaning that only they understood.
"But why is there gold dust in this yard?"
Yu Jiaming carefully examined the wet soil in his hand, his face turning into one of confusion. This was not their first time coming to the Jiang family, and they did not find any gold powder in their yard yesterday.
He looked around the land, almost lying on it, and finally came to a conclusion: the gold powder here seemed to have been sprinkled there by someone.
Who would spread gold powder in the Jiang family’s yard?
It seems that something happened in this yard from yesterday to today that they didn't know about.
Yu Jiaming walked towards Ye Mingzhu, he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
When Xiaowu was squatting and moving on the ground just now, Ye Mingzhu and Aunt Jiang noticed the two people's unusual behavior.
They watched as Yu Jiaming picked up a handful of soil from the ground, then smiled and looked at the sunlight. A thought emerged in their minds: Is there something wrong with Yu Jiaming?
They watched Yu Jiaming go from excitement to calmness, then to doubt, and then he walked over.
"Did anyone spill something somewhere today?" Yu Jiaming was holding the soil with gold powder in his hand and was reluctant to put it down, so he pointed over there with his elbow.
Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu both looked over there and kept shaking their heads. It was just a piece of land in the corner. Who would go there and scatter anything?
Yu Jiaming's breathing quickened, his voice rising two degrees: "Think about it, between when we left yesterday and when we came here today, was there someone who came and spilled something there?"
The two still shook their heads. There was a stranger coming today, but Fang just sat in the yard for a while and then left, without going to the corner.
Yu Jiaming frowned, he felt that he must have overlooked something, and the gold powder could not have gotten there on its own.
"Look at this soil. There is gold powder in it. I remember that when I came here yesterday, I didn't find this in the yard." Yu Jiaming held the soil in his hand in front of the two of them.
Aunt Jiang was stunned: "Gold dust? Who would spread gold dust in the yard?"
What's more, the people in Yuanshan Village are all ordinary people, and probably no one has ever seen gold powder.
Ye Mingzhu's heart beat violently.
Their family dug up treasures in the yard they bought in town. Could there be some in the yard where they live as well?
Soon she shook her head again. The land chosen by the Jiang family was right next to her house. If there was gold powder there, it would have been discovered long ago. How could it be left to the Jiang family?
Seeing that neither of them admitted it, Yu Jiaming frowned even more. He had finally found the gold powder, but couldn't find its origin. He was anxious and angry, and didn't know how to express his feelings.
"The soil of that piece of land is wet. Who poured water on it?" Yu Jiaming thought about it and finally figured it out.
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "I washed clothes this morning, and after washing the clothes, I poured the water there."
Could it be the gold dust stuck on their clothes? Then why didn't she notice it?
"Washing clothes?" Yu Jiaming then noticed that there were several pieces of clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard, one of which was the one Jiang Hongyu wore yesterday.
He put down the dirt in his hands, walked to the clothesline, pulled up Jiang Hongyu's clothes and examined them carefully. Ye Mingzhu wanted to stop him but failed, and saw several handprints on the freshly washed clothes.
She looked at Yu Jiaming with a speechless expression. The latter hadn't noticed at all and was still carefully examining the clothes that were still damp.
When he checked for the second time, he finally found gold powder on the back of the clothes, which seemed to be the same gold powder he found on the ground.
"Did you go somewhere yesterday? That's why there's gold dust on your clothes?"
Yu Jiaming was embarrassed to check Ye Mingzhu's clothes on the clothesline, so he just asked her directly.
These words really stunned Ye Mingzhu. The only place they went together was a small island on the sea. Could it be that the gold powder on her body was found there?
She got up and checked the clothes on the clothesline, and sure enough, she found gold powder on her clothes below the waist.
She remembered that they both sat on the island for a while yesterday. Could it be that they got infected there?
Yu Jiaming watched her expression change, and spoke cautiously: "Did you remember?"
Ye Mingzhu came back to her senses, looked at him, and then looked at Xiao Wu. What were the origins of these two people? They could even detect such tiny gold powder.
"I did go out yesterday, but I don't know if I got the gold dust there."
Seeing her admit it, Yu Jiaming's expression immediately relaxed: "It must have been stained there, it must be there. Where did you go yesterday?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't answer his question directly. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Are you here for the gold powder?"
She always felt it was strange. Although they had spent a few days together at the farm, they were still strangers to each other. How could the two of them feel so comfortable living in their home and be willing to come with them to this remote fishing village?
The two men were obviously young masters from wealthy families. It was strange that they looked so happy even though they were eating simple meals in such a small place.
The two of them could recognize gold powder at a glance, so no one believed them if they said they were not here for the gold powder.
If Yu Jiaming knew what Ye Mingzhu was thinking, he would definitely say, "I really think simple food is delicious."
At this time, he was trying hard to make Ye Mingzhu believe him: "I came here just to find out what the treasure that made so much noise is. I didn't know there was gold powder here. Besides, I have no bad intentions towards you. You even saved my life."
Ye Mingzhu's face darkened. Regardless of whether the two people had bad intentions or not, it felt terrible to be used by others.
"I found it on a small island in the sea. You two can rent a boat to go there. My house is small and I can't keep you two here. I'm sorry I can't see you off."
Yu Jiaming didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to react like this. He waved his hands vigorously: "We have no ill intentions. I have always regarded you as my savior."
Ye Mingzhu sneered: "If you really regarded me as your savior, you wouldn't have planned for us to return to the village."
Although they returned to the village because they could not stand He Hua's repeated harassment, wasn't all this because of the two people in front of them?
