Chapter Fifty-Seven

  What fell out was a small package wrapped in yellow oil paper. Cheng Zihan opened the outer layer of oil paper, and inside were several pieces of silver and gold with extremely high purity. It seemed that someone had secretly hidden them here, but for some reason, they didn't have time to take them away later.

  The current price of gold and silver is not too high, I estimate it's about three or four catties, and it will probably sell for only a few thousand yuan.

  Cheng Zihan put away her things and followed Qin Kexiu to another room.

  After searching through all twelve rooms upstairs, a full basket of things was found.

  Most of them are gold and silver ingots, as well as some jade bangles, necklaces and earrings.

  Cheng Zihan roughly calculated that if all these things were sold, they could be exchanged for around 180,000 to 200,000. After all, there were a lot of items, several tens of kilograms of gold and silver, which was already a considerable amount.

  Moreover, the jade bangle looks like it's high-quality nephrite, and the price of nephrite isn't very high these days. Only connoisseurs would be willing to pay a decent price for it. I reckon it won't sell for much money. Cheng Zihan estimates that one bangle can sell for around 3,000 to 5,000 yuan.

  As for those other pearl necklaces, they're not even worth mentioning, basically worthless.

  However, inside was found a night pearl, which was as big as a fist.

  "Although we found a lot of things, it's still far from enough. Moreover, taking out so many things to sell at once might raise suspicions." said Cheng Zihan.

  Qin Kexiu also agreed with Cheng Zihan's words, these things were all sold for about 120,000 to 130,000 yuan, but the quantity was too large. If they were all sold at once, it would likely attract other people's attention and cause trouble for Cheng Zihan's family.

  "There's more stuff downstairs, but your concerns are also valid. It seems we can't take everything out and sell it, so we'll have to select the valuable ones and move them somewhere." Qin Kesou pondered.

  "Oh? Where?" Cheng Zihan instinctively knew that Qin Kexiu definitely had more to say.

  "Underground trading floor." Qin Ke's expression was somewhat solemn, that kind of place was actually more dangerous, and those who could go there were not simple goods, one careless move and they could easily be taken out.

  "Underground trading floor?" Cheng Zihan really didn't know that in this day and age, there were still underground trading floors. To put it bluntly, an underground trading floor was just a place for money laundering, where many people would take out some unsavory things to sell.

  This is a great place for Taobao shopping.

  However, Cheng Zihan looked down at herself. Could she, an eight-year-old girl, be allowed in? She was probably going to be kicked out before even reaching the entrance.

  "Now we really have no other way, and can only try our luck. I know that in three days, there will be an underground auction in Wang City, which may be our chance." Qin Kexiu glanced at Cheng Zihan, also understanding her concern.

  "But how are we going to get in?" Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Kexiu and asked.

  "Here, take this." Qin Kesou fished out an object and tossed it to Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan took it over, a delicate silver bangle with beautiful floral patterns on top, and there seemed to be some special energy fluctuations emanating from it.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Kexiu with a puzzled expression.

  "This was given by Mang Cang, and can change its appearance at will, but it can only be maintained for 48 hours. The trade fair will happen to take place in two days, so when the time comes, you wear this and go out, and after coming back, it will return to its original shape. In this way, even if you buy something that's not supposed to be bought at the trade fair, or get too much money, you don't have to worry about being seen by others with malicious intentions." Qin Ke Xiu explained.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up, this is a good thing, with it, things will be much more convenient.

  Cheng Zihan hastily put it away.

  "Also, Mang Cang said that you're carrying too much money or things and it's inconvenient. He gave you a small storage ring with only ten square meters of space, not much room, and told you to use it sparingly. The Tree Spirit Space doesn't want you throwing trash in there for no reason." Qin Ke Xiu threw another small ring at Cheng Zi Han.

  "Wild? He's back?" Cheng Zihan took over and put it on very rudely, then asked Qin Kexiu.

  "He's back, but he said the last time was too embarrassing for him and didn't want to see anyone, so he took Tiancan out to play and will probably be back in ten days or half a month." Qin Kesou said with a smile as he looked at Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, these two guys were really too irresponsible.

  "That's right, Tian Can has also evolved, and this time it can be said that he has benefited from the disaster." Qin Ke Xiu continued to add.

  "Has it evolved? What has it evolved into?" Cheng Zihan was somewhat curious about this.

  "Evolved into a slightly bigger silkworm baby." Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan, raised an eyebrow and said.

  Cheng Zihan almost fell to the ground, what kind of evolution is this?

  Cheng Zihan took advantage of Cheng Hai and Li Lan's absence to have Qin Ke repair bring her to clear out all the treasures in the house.

  This time's harvest is really good, especially on the first floor, where many good things are buried underground. Each one will be a rare treasure in twenty years.

  "A great harvest." Cheng Zihan smiled contentedly. Half of the storage ring's space was filled, showing how good this harvest was.

  Qin Kesuo gave her a white eye, "Don't be smug, the greatest treasure of this house is in the garden."

  "Garden? Didn't you say there was no treasure in the garden?" Upon hearing Qin Kexiu's words, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but jump up.

  "Have I ever said something so irresponsible?" Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihuan with a confused expression, pretending to have amnesia.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to kill this guy, but she still endured it.

  The garden has even more treasures now, but there's no way to dig them up, and the vengeful spirit underground is too powerful, even Qin Kesou can't deal with it, so let's wait for Mangcang and the others to come back and discuss how to handle it.

  Cheng Zihan selected a few relatively valuable items from the things he found, and after thinking about it, he asked Qin Kexiu to bring back the eighteen Lingzhi mushrooms. This thing is estimated to be worth a lot of money, and it's better to sell it later.

  Everything is ready for the underground auction and the time is almost right.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan have both returned.

  The room was a bit messy inside, and both of them were startled.

  "Zi Han, what's going on here?" At that time, the house floor was directly paved with mud bricks, but now they have all been dug up by Cheng Zi Han and haven't been relaid yet.

  "Dad and mom, I found something at home." Cheng Zihan told them about the treasure she discovered one by one, then took out some of the things she dug up to show them.

  To avoid arousing their suspicion, Cheng Zihan took out at least a tenth of the things he had dug up.

  Seeing a basket of gold and silver, both Cheng Hai and Li Lan were startled.

  "These, these were all dug up inside our house?" Li Lan could hardly believe her eyes.

  "Alright, but this must be kept secret. If others find out, they'll all come to our house to dig holes." Cheng Zihan nodded in agreement.

  "Well, these things need to be kept properly, or else we'll have to dig another hole and bury them again. It's not safe to keep them at home." Li Lan looked at it with a fearful heart.

  "Alright." Cheng Zihan had no opinion.

  After burying things and paving all the bricks at home, Cheng Zihan told Cheng Hai about his trip to Wangcheng.

  "Do you want to go to Wangcheng by yourself?" Cheng Hai was a bit hesitant, fearing that something might happen to Cheng Zihan.

  "Alright, Dad, don't worry. Tiancan and his dad are in Wangcheng, I'll go borrow some money from them, I should be back in two or three days." Cheng Zihan hastily explained to reassure Cheng Hai.

  "Alright, you be careful then."
