Boss Yuan was delighted. He got up in a roll and didn’t look tired at all.
Shu Yu and Daniu’s expressions also tensed up, and they couldn’t help but look over Mrs. Yuan.
Boss Yuan leaned over and asked, “What is it?”
“l don’t know. Let’s take it out and take a look.” Mrs. Yuan immediately dug a bigger hole. When she saw that the box was completely exposed, the two of them laughed together.
“Looks like that person didn’t lie to you. Quick, take out the box.”
Boss Yuan said as he removed the soil around the box with his bare hands. Then, he carefully took out the box and sat on the ground happily. “This is a
treasure.”
The box in his hand was not big. It was a rectangular box about 20 centimeters long. The box was not very exquisite and looked quite plain.
There was a small lock on the outside of the box. Perhaps it had been a long time since it had rusted.
“What do you think is inside? Could it be silver?” Mrs. Yuan’s eyes lit up as she asked.
Boss Yuan shook his head. “No, it’s quite light. It doesn’t look like it’s filled with silver.”
“Then…Banknotes?”
At the mention of this possibility, Boss Yuan became spirited. “Go get a stone.
Let’s break it open and see.”
Mrs. Yuan went to find a stone and handed it over.
The lock wasn’t very strong. Boss Yuan found the right angle and smashed it open with one smash. The sound was not loud either. He reckoned that even Auntie Yao, the neighbor, couldn’t hear it.
After breaking the lock, Boss Yuan couldn’t wait to open the box and take out the things inside.
“This wrapping is quite good.” Boss Yuan said as he opened the cloth bag in
Lile DUX.
The cloth bag was wrapped in several layers of oil paper. It looked very important.
Boss Yuan and the other two became even more excited. However, after removing the layers of oil paper, their expressions suddenly stiffened.
“What, what is this?”
The moonlight was very bright. The two of them sat in the courtyard and looked at the things in their hands under the moonlight. Their brows were tightly knitted.
Mrs. Yuan picked up the thing wrapped in oil paper and looked at it left and right. After looking at it for a while, she said, “I’ve never seen it before.”
“That person must have been bluffing you. What the h.e.l.l is that? I thought it was gold, silver, and jewelry. In the end, after working for half a day, we dug out this.” Boss Yuan was so angry that he almost threw the thing in his hand out.
Fortunately, he was still rational. He had just raised his hand when he immediately retracted it.
Mrs. Yuan shrunk her neck and asked softly, “Then, then what should we do with this thing? We don’t know who it is, and we don’t know what it’s for.”
Boss Yuan was a little annoyed. He looked at the things in his hands and then at the courtyard that had two holes dug out after a long time. He took a deep breath and said, “Take them back. I’ll take them to the county town to see if anyone knows them. Maybe I can sell them.”
Mrs. Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then let’s go back?”
“Yes.
“What about this courtyard?” Two big holes.
Boss Yuan wasn’t in the mood to fill it up. He waved his hand and said, “We’ll fill it up tomorrow. Anyway, this courtyard is ours. The key is also in my hand.
No one can come in.”
As they spoke, they picked up the shovel and the box and left quietly.
After they locked the courtyard door and the footsteps faded away, Shu Yu and Daniu walked out.
The two of them looked around the big hole where the box was dug out. After a while, Shu Yu’s gaze suddenly paused..
