Chapter 53 Treasure Hunt
Reading Settings
Ma Aning gazed at her adorable daughter in her arms with complex emotions, her heart filled with mixed feelings. She gently stroked her daughter's soft hair, her thoughts swirling.
"Brother Shan, even if we dig out all that gold and silver jewelry in this cellar, what good will it do? It's not easy to hide so much treasure. What if someone finds it?"
"How about... we just leave them there and don't worry about them?" Ma Aning said worriedly.
Before Shen Zishan could respond, Shen Xiaoxiao in his arms waved her chubby little hands impatiently, and her childish yet unusually firm voice rang out again.
"No! We must dig out all that gold and silver jewelry! If we don't, someone else might steal it, and then it will never belong to us again! I can keep it safe and find a place where no one can find it!"
Hearing his daughter's persistence, Shen Zishan couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he nodded and gently said to Ma Aning.
"Wife, why don't we dig up those treasures? After we find them, we can think about how to put them away."
Seeing that Shen Zishan had made his decision, Ma Aning hesitated for a moment before finally nodding helplessly and replying, "Alright..."
Thus, the family of three reached a consensus and had no further objections to digging up the gold and silver jewelry in the cellar.
Shen Xiaochuan, who had been lying silently to the side, suddenly realized something—it turned out that his parents could also hear his little sister's thoughts!
However, he was not too surprised by this.
After all, if even he himself could have such an unbelievable experience of being reborn, then his little sister's special adventures didn't seem like such a big deal.
In the days that followed, the family was filled with unease because of the big event that was about to happen, and no one brought up why they all knew about the cellar.
They were all doing their own thing, but they were all a little absent-minded.
Shen Zishan prepared dinner early, and after the couple ate, their eyes were constantly fixed on the backyard.
After it was completely dark, Shen Zishan took a small flashlight to the backyard where he had discovered the anomaly and dug up the top layer of soil.
A large iron block, weighing twenty or thirty pounds, was placed on top. Chen Zishan moved the iron block aside and shone his flashlight on the dark intersection.
After ventilating for about 10 minutes, I slowly went downstairs. The cellar was very large. I swept it with a flashlight and counted 36 large boxes and some old furniture. The furniture was made of good wood, and I could still smell the fragrance of the wood.
Shen Zishan opened one of the boxes and found it neatly filled with gold. He was so shocked that he almost dropped his flashlight. "Where did all this come from? How can there be so much gold? This box weighs 50 jin (25 catties)."
Shen Zishan calmed his excited emotions and opened the boxes one by one. There were a total of 10 boxes of gold, 3 boxes of various books, 5 boxes of various jade jewelry, and the rest were ornaments and various kinds of fabrics, all of which were well preserved.
It wasn't until almost dawn that all the boxes were moved upstairs.
"Brother Shan, is everything moved? Is it all here?" Ma Aning looked at the boxes in shock.
She went over to check on her and almost dropped her daughter on the ground.
"There's still some furniture that hasn't been moved. All 36 boxes are here," Shen Zishan said, panting heavily, completely exhausted. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
When Ma Aning saw that Shen Xiaoxiao had woken up, he quickly said, "Brother Shan, it's too obvious to have so many boxes here. Let's find a place to hide them quickly."
"Boxes, what boxes? No, did Dad bring out all the boxes from the cellar? Let me see, let me see, how many treasures there are, they're all mine, I want them!" Shen Xiaoxiao immediately woke up.
"What should we do? There are so many boxes, we can't hide them all. Should we put them back in the cellar?" Shen Zishan said deliberately.
"Give it to me, give it to me, I have a place to hide it," Shen Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, revealing her space. With a wave of her hand, she put away everything in the room, leaving only an empty bed.
The couple stared in shock, their eyes wide. "What's going on?" Shen Zishan muttered to himself.
"Haha, because I suffered too much in my past life, King Yama gave me a gift—a small space. No one can find it inside me, and no one can take it away." Shen Xiaoxin's voice was full of joy.
The couple exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xiaoxiao belatedly realized what her parents' reaction would be if her social media profile was exposed.
Seeing the couple, he was shocked but didn't show any greed, so he felt relieved. The main thing was that he was still so young, and even if his parents wanted to do something, they couldn't stop him.
Shen Xiaoxiao is just giving up and letting things slide. I won't explain; you can figure it out yourselves.
“Daughter, you’ve been keeping all of these. Won’t they harm your health?” Ma Aning asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, this is my internal space. It won't harm me. You can give me anything you want, and I'll keep it." Shen Xiaoxiao communicated with her parents directly through her thoughts.
"Daughter, can we hear your innermost thoughts because you said the King of Hell gave you a second chance?"
Ma Aning was so heartbroken that tears welled up in her eyes. Just how much suffering had her daughter endured that even the King of Hell couldn't bear to see her suffer and gave her a second chance?
"Let's not talk about our parents' past anymore; let's just live our lives well now."
“We’re going to collect the furniture too. Dad will fill in the cellar in the back. I have a bad feeling that not filling in the cellar will have a big impact on our family,” Shen Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
Shen Zishan nodded in agreement and, carrying his daughter, prepared to go down into the cellar.
“Wait, honey, bring out all the old furniture too. It’s so empty now that you’ve put everything away,” Ma Aning said helplessly.
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "This is my first time accepting it, and I couldn't control myself. I'll take it out now."
They threw everything out except for the 36 boxes.
Ma Aning stared wide-eyed at the mountain of grain that almost filled the entire room, her jaw nearly dropping in astonishment.
She murmured to herself in astonishment, "This...this is too much!"
Shen Zishan, standing to the side, was quite shocked by the sight before him. He stammered, "Girl...daughter, how come there's so much grain? This grain is probably enough for our family of four to eat for four or five years!"
His voice trembled with shock as he spoke.
Seeing her parents' shocked expressions, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little smug.
She explained with a grin, "Dad, Mom, this food was originally in the mysterious space that Jun Yanluo gave me. I accidentally took it all out just now, but it's okay, I'll put the extra away right away."
"From now on, I will take care of you!" she said, patting her chest as she spoke, if she weren't so small and her arms so short.
Hearing her daughter's sensible and thoughtful words, Ma Aning felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
She nodded with love and relief, and replied, "Okay, okay, then Mom and Dad will be waiting for our precious daughter to take care of us!" After saying that, the three of them smiled at each other, and the house was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.
