Chapter 643 Treasure Amount
The night breeze at the end of June carried the unique coolness of the mountains, blowing against the skin and raising tiny goosebumps. Moonlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting swaying shadows on the mountain path, like countless prying eyes.

He Yuan felt a chill run down his spine from Chen Qing's words, and said in a hoarse voice, "We are staunch materialists and are not afraid of any demons or monsters!"

He Yuxiang silently stepped back a few steps, no longer taking the lead with the stick.

Xiao Yu was the bravest in the family. After the initial fear, her eyes shone with excitement: "Is it Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma coming to find us?"

Chen Qing got goosebumps all over his body. "Help! I'm guilty! It's all my fault for talking nonsense."

She had just stared at a dark, gaping place that seemed to swallow her whole, and a sudden fear of ghosts and spirits welled up inside her. The words slipped out of her mouth, and she immediately regretted them.

He Yuan felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Xiao Yu's words, sensing that the situation was not good.

He Yuxiang stepped back again and came to his uncle's side.

He Yuan held his hand to comfort him: "It's okay. The leader said that nothing will become sentient after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Xiao Yu said innocently, "But Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma have all become ghosts."

Chen Qing wanted to kneel down before Xiao Yu.

Please tell her to stop talking.

It's scary.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

Her voice trembled: "Xiaoyu, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"

Xiao Yu shone her flashlight on them and saw that they were about to hug each other. She laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Chen Qing said weakly, "Thank you."

Xiao Yu smiled, pursing her lips.

I find it really fun to tease them.

"Let's go, I'll lead the way, brother, just tell me which way to go."

"it is good."

He Yuxiang's voice became weak and unsteady.

Xiao Yu bravely and fearlessly walked ahead.

He Yuan urged the two people beside him to walk faster so that they could protect Xiao Yu immediately should any danger arise.

Xiaoyu turned around and saw her uncle watching her intently. She said to him, "I picked up some pebbles. If there's anything in front of me, I'll shoot it in the eyes. Don't worry, Uncle, I'll protect myself."

"Okay, walk slowly."

"Uh-huh."

With a flashlight in her left hand and a wooden stick in her right, Xiao Yu's path of clearing the land was bold and smooth.

Chen Qingzhen admired Xiaoyu; her Xiaoyu was so brave!
The deeper you go, the more lush the vegetation becomes, almost completely engulfing the path.

The chirping of insects around them seemed to have thinned out, replaced by an empty silence, with only their footsteps and breathing sounding exceptionally clear.

The three people behind Xiaoyu felt varying degrees of fear, but Xiaoyu walked forward confidently, as if there was a smooth road ahead.

Xiao Yu would occasionally turn back to look at them, offer a few words of comfort, and become the only adult in the family.

After Xiaoyu pushed aside a thick clump of vines that smelled of damp, rotten wood, a dark, narrow opening, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, suddenly appeared before her.

A chilling aura, a mixture of earthy smells and dust from aged rocks, wafted from the cave, sending shivers down one's spine.

But He Yuxiang immediately recognized the protruding eagle-beak rock above the cave entrance. "That's it!"

He Yuan, sensing the musty smell inside, took a lantern and bent down to crawl inside first.

The cave was not large, but it was unusually cold and dry, as if the air had been frozen for a long time.

After He Yuan went inside, he saw Xiao Yu, picked her up, and patted the dust off her.

He Yuxiang and Chen Qing also climbed in one after another. The beams of their flashlights cast distorted and flickering shadows on the uneven rock walls. At the very back of the cave, there were obvious signs of artificial backfilling on the floor, its color slightly different from the surrounding area. He Yuan asked Chen Qing if she had any handkerchiefs to cover the mouths and noses of the two children.

Chen Qing really does have it.

So He Yuan tied He Yuxiang up.

Chen Qing tied Xiao Yu up.

He Yuxiang asked, "Where are you and your aunt?"

He Yuan: "It smells bad, but it's not poisonous."

Chen Qing: "You can wear them."

He Yuxiang didn't stand on ceremony any longer. At his command, the digging began, and the soil was dug up shovel by shovel.

When He Yuxiang's shovel made another crisp "clang," everyone knew they had hit something hard, and their hearts jumped into their throats.

Everyone carefully brushed away the dirt, and a black metal box lid with dark rust on its surface gradually came into view. The box was larger than expected.

He Yuxiang took out the key and inserted it into the lock.

With a click, he slowly lifted the lid of the box, which creaked as it was opened.

The large box contained many small suitcases.

Everyone took them out and spread them out one by one.

As He Yuxiang opened the key, gold, US dollars, and jewelry were revealed to everyone.

He Yuan began to check the amounts.

Chen Qing stood silently to the side.

My mood became heavy.

Because she suddenly remembered that in the world of the book, He Yuxiang had so much money, hoping to save his sister, but all his money was stolen and his sister was gone. He didn't know how desperate he must have felt.

The overwhelming hatred that fueled his growth made him relentlessly seek revenge against those people, but it also led him into a deadly predicament.

He Yuxiang looked at the gleaming gold and jewels, but his gaze fell on his aunt, whose expression was solemn, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Of the four, only Xiaoyu kept exclaiming, "Wow, so much money! What kind of money is this? Wow, this gem is so beautiful, it even shines!"

She touched this and looked at that.

I was incredibly excited.

He Yuan counted the items and found that two boxes were missing: "Thirty-six catties of gold and one hundred thousand US dollars are missing."

"So much is missing!"

He Yuxiang is angry!!
Seeing that He Yuxiang was angry, Chen Qing felt a little better. At least He Yuxiang was alive and well now.

He Yuan: "I'll try to find him and get him to pay back the money. Let's put these things back."

The site contained five boxes of gold, ten boxes of US dollars, and two boxes of jewelry.

The two boxes of jewelry were packed in small boxes, containing thirty perfectly cut diamonds, some of which were even over three carats, twenty-five pigeon blood rubies with a vivid, blood-red color, a dozen or so vibrant emeralds, and several jade pendants and rings with excellent translucency and exquisite craftsmanship.

The value of these gems is difficult to measure accurately in monetary terms.

Chen Qing felt that even without considering the value of the jewelry, just the exchange rate between the millions of gold and the US dollars alone meant that He Yuxiang already had more than two million yuan.

Two million now has astonishing purchasing power, not much different from assets worth hundreds of millions in the future.

This money means that even if He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu never work hard in their lives, they will have enough to live a comfortable life.

He Yuxiang didn't ask his aunt if she liked anything, because none of the things here could be taken out; he still had to work hard.

After hiding everything, they planned to return the way they came.
