"good."
Following the arrows on the treasure map, Su Tian took out an iron rod from her spatial storage and handed it to Song Zhe, while she herself held a large cleaver.
They carefully used their tools to clear away the thorns blocking their path, one by one.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling sound of their footsteps on the dry leaves.
As the thorns were cleared away, a narrow path gradually appeared behind us.
“Ah Zhe, at this speed, it might take us two hours to get there.”
"Well, if it gets dark, we can stay at your space for the night, okay?"
"OK."
The two continued walking forward for two hours.
Su Tian, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the place ahead was the same place they had been before. "Ah Zhe, we've arrived."
"Hmm, let's check the exact location of that sign first. See, isn't it behind this cave?"
"Hmm, that seems to be it. Let's go take a look."
They quickly went there and found that they were surrounded by dense vines.
"Ah Zhe, if it weren't for this map, how would we have known that there was a cave hidden inside these vines?"
Song Zhe nodded. "Yes, let's deal with the vines first. Give me the machete."
"good."
Song Zhe took the large cleaver from Su Tian and swung it forcefully at the vines.
With each swing of the machete, the vines snapped and fell. Before long, the cave was revealed.
Just then, a large black snake darted out.
Su Tian shouted loudly, "Be careful!"
She quickly grabbed the iron rod and struck the snake's head hard. After a few blows, the snake struggled a few times and then died completely.
"Ah Zhe, are you alright?"
"fine."
"It's winter, but this snake isn't hibernating? It's still so active, and it's a big venomous snake."
"Susu, have you noticed? We're standing at the cave entrance, and we don't feel the cold of winter at all."
After hearing Song Zhe's words, Su Tian also realized, "Indeed, could there be something hidden inside this cave?"
"We'll find out if we go in and take a look."
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Song Zhe walked in front, calling out to Su Tian to follow behind him, and the two slowly entered the cave.
Surprisingly, the cave had no musty or damp smell; it was very dry and refreshing.
Su Tian took out two flashlights, and they groped their way forward using the light from the flashlights.
Before long, they arrived at an open space.
"Could there be a secret room here? This place is so spacious, yet there's nothing inside."
“You’re right, let’s look carefully.”
They split up to search for the secret room's mechanism. Su Tian gently tapped along the walls but found nothing.
Song Zhe squatted on the ground, carefully observing whether there were any hidden compartments or special floor tiles.
Suddenly, Su Tian inadvertently touched a slightly protruding stone and pressed it down hard.
A slight tremor was heard, and a stone wall next to them slowly opened, revealing a hidden door.
They exchanged a glance and walked in, filled with excitement.
Upon entering, one discovers that the dark room is filled with various gold and silver treasures, as well as some ancient calligraphy and paintings.
“Ah Zhe, I’ve noticed that every time we capture an enemy spy, we find a lot of treasure.”
"They've been in our country for so many years, who knows how much they've robbed?"
Song Zhe nodded. "Let's count how many boxes there are?"
"good."
There are a total of 108 boxes.
"Susu, there's another notebook here. Let's open it and see what's written on it?"
So, Su Tian opened the notebook. The writing on the notebook was a little blurry, but it was still legible.
It turns out that these treasures were the private collection of a certain family in the last feudal dynasty.
When the dynasty collapsed, he sensed an impending crisis and instructed his servants to secretly transport and hide the wealth accumulated by his family here.
He also drew a treasure map and divided it in two, giving one half to his two sons.
"Ah Zhe, it seems we're really lucky. The entire treasure is in this cave; all the other markers are just for cover."
"Yes, Su Su has always been very lucky. She always encounters unexpected things when she's with you."
"I'll put them in my storage space first, and I'll leave the rest to you."
"Okay, we don't need to go to the other places. It's still early, let's hurry up and get out."
After Song Zhe finished speaking, he waited for Su Tian to put everything into her spatial storage before taking her hand and leaving the cave.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Susu, shall we go back to town now?"
"Okay, I'll go back to town with you first, and I'll go back to the village tomorrow."
After Su Tian released the bicycle, Song Zhe drove her quickly to the town.
Once they arrived in the courtyard, the two of them simply cooked some egg noodles together and ate them with great relish.
After finishing her meal, Su Tian excitedly said, "I think this is a really big haul. Yesterday I found a bunch of guns and ammunition, and today I found another great treasure."
"We can take all these things out later; we could spend them all in ten lifetimes and still not run out."
Looking at the excited Su Tian, Song Zhe smiled and said, "Yes, after this special era is over, let's let them see the light of day again, okay?"
"Of course, that would be great. We'll discuss it together later."
"Are you finished eating? If you are, you're going to take a shower."
Song Zhe looked at Su Tian in surprise, "So early?"
"Hey, you're not getting the wrong idea again, are you? When I said 'take a bath,' I meant a simple bath."
"I didn't mean anything by it, don't misunderstand," Song Zhe said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm going to shower in my spatial dimension. Are you coming with me or waiting?"
"Susu, let's go together."
By the time they finished bathing, it was already past midnight.
When Su Tian woke up, she touched the side and found no one there, realizing that Song Zhe had already gotten up.
She glanced at the watch under her pillow; it was already past ten o'clock.
So she got dressed, went into the courtyard, and didn't find Song Zhe there.
After she finished washing up, she saw Song Zhe return carrying several lunch boxes.
"Susu, you're awake. Have you brushed your teeth? Come and eat."
"You came back right after I finished eating, did you know I was hungry?"
"Mmm, you fed me well last night, so I'm going to feed you well today too."
Seeing Song Zhe's teasing gaze, Su Tian couldn't help but twist his waist.
Song Zhe couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Su Su, go easy on me. Let's eat first, then I'll pinch you a few more times."
"Haha, good, you know what's good for you. You're getting better and better at talking."
Su Tian followed Song Zhe and sat down at the table to start eating.
"Should we have breakfast or lunch now?"
"It's all up to you, whatever you like."
Hearing Song Zhe's gentle words, Su Tian couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and pinch his cheek.
