The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 657 Treasure Hunt in the Backyard (2)

After Ye Qingqing walked out of the bamboo forest, Tangshan continued to search the bamboo forest with Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Although the bamboos in the bamboo forest are relatively short, their leaves grow very luxuriantly, and the ground is covered with dry bamboo leaves.

Tangshan took a long branch and pushed aside the dead branches and leaves in the bamboo forest, and then carefully examined the geography.

Although the bamboo forest was not big, Tang Xiaoshan searched very slowly.

The big yellow and the little yellow seemed to be patrolling their own territory, sniffing this bamboo and sniffing that bamboo.

Occasionally, he would lift his legs to leave his own scent and occupy his own territory.

Suddenly, Dahuang and Xiaohuang were digging wildly in the ground, and at the same time they were humming and calling to Tangshan beside them.

Tangshan saw Dahuang and Xiaohuang digging for something in the ground, and ran over excitedly.

Tangshan took the branches and dug up together with rhubarb and small yellow.

While digging, Tang Shan suddenly dug up something hard from the branch in his hand.

Seeing something underneath, Tangshan dug even more vigorously, and soon a corner of a wooden box was revealed.

The box looked quite old. It didn't look like it had been buried in the past two years. It looked like it had been buried for more than ten years.

Tang Shan called to Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing while digging hard into the wooden box.

"Qingqing, Xiao Jing, come here quickly."

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

Big Yellow and Little Yellow on the side also screamed excitedly at the same time.

"Dad found something good."

Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing heard Tang Shan's excited voice and ran over quickly.

When the two came to the bamboo forest, Tang Shan had already dug out most of the box, revealing the entire appearance of the box.

Tang Xiaojing hurried over to help, and the father and son dug out the box in twos and twos.

The box is a square and long strip, not small in size, and can probably hold a vase.

The box was a little worn, with some parts rotten, and there was a small lock covered with rust.

Ye Qingqing looked at the rusty lock head and was very confused.

"The second young master of the Guan family has only lived in this house for more than a year. This box is so old. It must not have been hidden by someone from the Guan family. Who hid this box here?"

"It doesn't matter who left it, just open it and take a look first." Tang Xiaojing on the side couldn't wait to urge Tangshan to move faster.

Seeing that Tang Shan couldn't open the box, Tang Xiaojing stepped forward anxiously to help. Finally, the father and son worked together to pull the lock open.

The three of them held their breath and stared at the box in front of them. Tangshan slowly opened the mysterious box that had been buried for more than ten years.

After opening the box, everyone was disappointed to find that there was no gold, silver, jewelry, or gold or silver in it.

There were two scrolls inside the box, and underneath the scrolls were several letters.

Ye Qingqing picked up the scroll and the letter, and then found that there was a small orchid hairpin placed under the letter.

The box has been buried in the ground for a long time. Whether it is a picture scroll or a letter, it has been riddled with insects and there are still debris falling down when you pick it up.

Ye Qingqing carefully opened the scroll and found that not only was it eaten by insects, but the ink on it had already fainted.

The paintings above have been changed beyond recognition, and it can only be vaguely seen that both scrolls depict a woman.

The same goes for several letters. The writing and ink on them have long faded and blurred, and almost no complete words can be seen on them.

The only thing intact is the orchid hairpin.

The hairpin is not big, but very delicate and delicate. Not only is the pattern of orchids engraved on the hairpin, but there are also several blooming orchids on the top.

Although the hairpin is a little dull and black, it can still be seen that it is a very beautiful hairpin.

Tang Xiaojing took out the hairpin and weighed it, and found that it weighed about two or two.

The scroll and letter had been destroyed, and it was not known who buried the things here. Ye Qingqing was a little scared and pulled Tang Xiaojing's sleeve.

"I don't know who buried it here. Is there any problem?"

Tangshan on the side said slowly: "I guess it may be Mr. Liu and his family who are hiding here."

"Master Liu, were you the previous owner of this house?" Ye Qingqing looked at Tangshan with curiosity.

Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing only knew that the second son of the Guan family lived in this house before, and neither of them knew much about the previous owner.

Tangshan explained to the two of them: "I have inquired with your Uncle Lin before. This house was built by Master Liu 16 years ago. The Liu family's family of 10 has lived here for more than ten years."

"At the beginning of last year, Mrs. Liu's youngest son passed the exam in high school and the family moved to Fucheng to settle down. This house was sold to the Guan family."

Ye Qingqing looked at the scroll and letter inside the box again and asked:

"Then what to do with the things in here? How about burying them all back for him?"

Tang Shan nodded when he saw that these scrolls and letters were damaged and there was no use keeping them.

"Better bury it back."

Ye Qingqing quickly put back the tattered scroll and letter.

The father and son buried the box casually.

As for the silver hairpin, of course it belongs to them.

The three of them then continued searching in the bamboo forest.

Ye Qingqing made something similar to a sledge and directly grabbed all the dead branches and leaves on the ground.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan were responsible for carefully searching the fields, while Ye Qingqing was responsible for searching the collected dead branches and leaves.

The bamboo leaves piled up like a hill were searched bit by bit by Ye Qingqing.

Unfortunately, I only found useless things like handkerchiefs and teacups, and nothing of value at all.

The Tang family's father and son even rummaged through the ground in the bamboo forest, but they couldn't find the second box.

But it's not completely useless.

It rained for two days and two nights a few days ago, and a lot of bamboo fungus grew in the bamboo forest.

The father and son were hunting for treasures in the fields while happily picking bamboo fungus.

By the time they had searched the bamboo forest, both father and son had collected half a basket of bamboo fungus.

Tang Xiaojing brought the bamboo fungus in front of Ye Qingqing as a treasure.

Ye Qingqing, who was greedy, was very happy to see bamboo fungus. "I still have the chickens I caught at the house last time. I just made bamboo fungus chicken soup when I got back."

The father and son were also very happy to have chicken soup to drink, and they quickly packed away the bamboo fungus.

Ye Qingqing saw that there were a lot of bamboo fungus, so he planned to pick some of different quality and eat them at home, dry the rest and sell them at the dock later.

After searching the bamboo forest, the three of them returned to the stable.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing just moved the fodder to the bullock cart, and the stable was not searched yet.

The stable is bigger than the Tang family's cowshed where three big oxen live.

The stable is divided into two parts. It can be clearly seen that two horses should have been raised here before.

The horses and carriages were gone, and the young couple had emptied out the fodder. The whole stable looked empty.

Tang Xiaojing took his big ox out of the stable, and then the three of them searched the stable.
