The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife
Chapter 2587 - 71: Finding the Ancestor’s Hidden Treasure
"Follow me!"
Ye Haoyang patted his shoulder, "Big brother is taking you to get rich."
"Not interested," Ye Rongqing said with a pout, "That thing is what Dad gave you. Dad already said, each of the three of us has their own share, nobody envies what the other has."
"Heh heh..."
Ye Haoyang pulled him close, "Don’t worry, come with big brother for this trip, big brother won’t treat you badly."
"No need, no need." Ye Rongqing waved his hands repeatedly, "Mom has already prepared for me."
Indeed, although his mom has been involved less with business in recent years, the properties she acquired earlier are all profitable, and their oldest brother also brings them a share from the overseas endeavors, they aren’t short of money at all.
The two brothers walked for a while longer, when they were nearing the end, Ye Haoyang stood in place and turned around a few times, looked here and there, "There should be a path here." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Ye Rongqing glanced at their surroundings and asked, "Second brother, could this be some ancient tomb?"
"I don’t know, we’ll only find out once we get down there. Follow me!"
Ye Haoyang followed along one of the mountain slopes, walking downward, and stopped midway up.
"Here, dig!"
He pointed at a patch covered with Schefflera bushes and said.
The two guards heard his words, and immediately started to move. The belly of the hill was hollowed out, the outer layer wasn’t very thick, and after a short digging, the guards reached through to the inside.
"Leave someone outside to keep watch."
"Second master, how about I go in and take a look first?" one of the guards suggested, "Once inside if there’s no problem, then you two can come in."
"No need, let’s go in together."
This isn’t an ancient tomb, even if there were mechanisms or setups, it wouldn’t be as dangerous as the legendary ancient tombs.
In fact, as he thought, once inside, all they saw was rows of boxes, sealed very well, without even a hint of mold, just a faint scent of herbs.
"Quick, hold your breath!"
Ye Haoyang immediately realized that the herbal smell wasn’t right.
"Let’s get out."
Ye Rongqing and the guards withdrew immediately upon hearing this, with Ye Haoyang following last. As he was leaving, he used a dagger to pop open one of the boxes, revealing a distinct glimmer of yellow.
Once outside, Ye Haoyang recalled the boxes inside and noticed they were just like the ones in the mountain cave.
He couldn’t help but wonder, could all those boxes be filled with gold?
Upon carefully examining the mound, a bold idea hit him, maybe the mountain really had a gold mine, but it was mined out hundreds of years ago, and the extracted gold was stored here.
As for the gold in the mountain cave, perhaps it was just to mislead people.
"Second brother, what now?"
"Fill the hole and replant the Schefflera trees."
Ye Haoyang thought, the ancestors were quite clever, planting Schefflera trees at the front of the mound. This tree is also known as the money tree, signaling to future generations that where this tree grows, fortune can be found.
Once everything was sorted, Ye Haoyang said, "The herbal smell inside the cave is toxic, if we stay longer inside we won’t be able to come out, let’s head back for now, and come prepared next time. You two go back and don’t speak of today’s events."
"Yes, Second Master, I’ll keep my mouth shut!"
"Me too!"
Then, the group retraced their path back.
"Should be right, why does the trail end here?"
On their way back, they encountered an old man muttering to himself.
"Who are you? How come you’re here?"
