The box in the plastic cloth was buried directly under another floor tile, and after digging a few shovels from the pit, I could only see a small side of the box, and I couldn't dig it all out, so I quickly broke the bricks on the adjacent south side, and dug up the soil from the top of the box, once, twice, three times, five minutes later, the shovel slammed and poked into a hard place, and finally saw the traces of the plastic sheeting again, I pressed the excitement, tried to avoid hurting the box, and carefully separated the treasure chest from the soil from the other three sides.

After doing this, the treasure chest was completely exposed before my eyes.

After killing a few bugs lying on the side, I rubbed my hands, bent down on the ground, and tried to hug them with my hands. It was heavy, but I could barely move it with my strength. I pinched the edge of the box, slowly dragged it to the ground, cleared the surface of the soil, I didn't rush to open the box, but pushed it to the side of the bed, picked up a shovel and shoveled this position to a depth of one meter, and then, picked up a few floor tiles next to it and shoveled it one meter as well.

In the TV show, Ms. Wang didn't say how many boxes she dug up, and I thought that if there was a second and third, it must be buried near the first box, and it couldn't be too far from it. However, when the ground of one meter and a half square was dug up, there was no trace of the treasure chest.

I nodded, knowing that there was only one box, so, filling it with dirt and covering it with bricks, I leaned over and gently pulled the box from the end of the bed, took a deep breath to calm my mind, I calmed down, pushed the box diagonally, pulled out the edge of the plastic sheet pressed underneath, flipped it up, and removed the package.

The box was of a very ordinary wood, with iron sheets and nails fixed at the corners, some pitted marks on it, not very well preserved, and a rusty old strip lock hanging in front of it, which I tried to pull open, but could not pull it open. Gotta get the keys? I shook my head, and without saying a word, I picked up the hammer hidden under the bed and smashed it against the long lock!

Click! Click! Click!

It wasn't until the third time that the old lock clicked and fell to the ground.

It's done!

I put down the hammer and couldn't wait to dig my nails into the cracks of the box and gently lift them up!

Suddenly, under the illumination of the chandelier on the roof, a golden light immediately came into the eye—a stack of gold bars leaning against the corner of the box, and when you counted them carefully, there were as many as five pieces. However, the gold bars are not the regular and round form seen on TV, their surface is rough and rough, and the color is not as dazzling as ordinary gold, and the five pieces are different in size, each in length, width and height, as if they were processed by the small workshop itself. I took out five gold bars and checked one of them with my hand, well, about 100 grams, if its purity is more than 90 percent, I'm afraid this gold bar will cost tens of thousands of yuan.

My heart was pounding, and I looked into the box - money, all money, piles of money!

The money is all wrapped in plastic sheeting, I grabbed a pile and peeled it off, there is a white-bearded old man painted on the left, with "Wu Yuan" and "Central Bank" written on it, a few words are written backwards, and there is a red seal and YJ387299 number on the money, there are two numbers, the numbers are the same, and they are printed on the symmetrical position of the coin on the left and right.

This is...... Banknotes of the Republic of China!?

Putting down the pile of money, I reached out and took out a few more bundles, and found that half of the boxes were actually coins of the Republic of China, most of them were not serial numbers, very old, and some even broke the corners, some of them were one corner, some were one yuan, some were two rounds, and so on.

I swallowed and foamed at the ceiling, exhaling into the ceiling.

Knock knock, there's a knock on the door.

I subconsciously took the stall and covered the box: "...... Who? ”

It was Yuan Yazhen's voice: "Xiaojing, I took Xiaolong to his grandparents' house." ”

"Oh, sister, slow down, stay safe on the road."

"Hmm."

When the footsteps of one big and one small disappeared into the courtyard, I had to hide the box first to be safe. The height under the bed was not enough to put it in, so I vacated a place in the large wardrobe, stuffed it with a box, and then put a few weighty gold bars into my pocket, got dressed and went out, and ran to the first Caibaijin store not far from Niu Street.

Today is a break, and there are a lot of people in the mall.

I walked over to a gold counter, "Excuse me, do we have any gold collectors here?" ”

The shopping guide looked at me and stretched out her hand to the opposite side: "You go there and ask." ”

"Okay, thank you."

She was pointing to a place that looked like a cash register, and on the table were a few tools and equipment that I couldn't name, as well as old rings and necklaces. I walked over and said to the middle-aged man who was scalding the ring with a high-heat device: "Excuse me, do we harvest gold for our dishes?" How much is a gram? There was also a middle-aged woman standing next to him, who should be the owner of the ring.

The staff member didn't look up: "...... One hundred nineteen. ”

One hundred and nineteen? The price wasn't too low, so I looked left and right, took out a gold bar and put it on the table, "Then can you help me see how much it's worth?" ”

The staff stopped the tools in their hands, looked at the table, and was slightly stunned: "Gold bars? Oh, you've chosen your jewelry, how many grams? ”

I blinked, "What do you mean?" ”

The middle-aged woman on the side said kindly: "Caibai is just exchanging the old for the new, that is to say, you can add some money to exchange jewelry, but you can't exchange money." ”

Khan, what else do you say? I said, why is the price so high!

My family is relatively poor and rarely buys gold products, so I don't know much about the process of Caibai.

Walking out of the Caibai shopping mall, I thought that other places that sell gold should also have similar rules, and after thinking about it, I asked the eldest sister at the car storage place at the intersection to find a nearby pawn shop. Xu was about to get off work, and the two staff members of the pawn shop had already come out of the counter at the back, sweeping the floor with brooms.

"Excuse me." I said, "How many grams of gold?" ”

The man in his early fifties looked at me: "...... It depends on the jewelry, about one hundred and fifty or six. Sure enough, the purchase price of the pawnshop was much lower than the average market price.

I didn't wait for the money, and I didn't rush to sell it, and after turning around a few pawn shops, I went back to the Niujie compound.

The price they give is about the same, between one hundred and fifteen and one hundred and sixteen, but I always feel that it is too little, and I don't want to sell it cheaply, so I opened my laptop and checked the place where Yanjing collects gold, the resources on the Internet are very rich, Baidu searched, dozens of hundreds of messages jumped into view, most of them were private, I felt that there was no contact without insurance, I found a gold store with a physical store, and called.

"Hey, hello." It's a woman's voice.

"Hello, I have a few things to sell, I would like to ask, what is the purchase price of gold in your store?" In the information posted online, the store did not give a specific price, but vaguely said that the price was high.

"Oh, it's about one hundred and eighteen grams."

"That's it......" The price is quite reasonable, much higher than that of a pawn shop.

"Rest assured, the price offered in our store is definitely higher than other places, well, what jewelry do you want to sell? Can you take a look at it? ”

"It's too late, or tomorrow?"

"We're open until half past nine in the evening, and it's okay."

I looked at my watch, "Okay, near Jiaomen Middle School in Fengtai District, right?" I'm going over now. ”

The store is not large, it is opened in the gap between two small districts, I looked for a long time to find out about this shop with an old man who walked the corner, and from a distance, the lights were on inside, and a woman of nearly fifty years old was sitting in the store on the phone.

I pushed open the glass door and entered the house, and the landlady looked at me, said a few words into the phone and hung up.

I said, "I just called......"

"Oh, I know, please take a seat." The landlady moved a chair to me: "I look at something? ”

I nodded, and handed over a gold bar.

The female boss was stunned: "...... Gold bar? It's rare, I didn't expect there to be such a thing now. She didn't ask much, after asking for my opinion, she took the gold bar and weighed it on the electronic scale, which showed 95.2 grams, and then, she clamped the gold bar with something, took a kind of equipment used by the staff of Caibai and burned the gold bar repeatedly, and after a while, she used other tools to drum it for a long time, and put it on the scale to measure - 93.1 grams," ...... Okay, good purity. ”

I was relieved, and I was really afraid that the gold bars were fake.

The female boss hit with a calculator: "Well, according to one hundred and eighty-one grams, a total of sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty-eight, your gold bar is very sufficient, well, I'll give you 17,000." ”

Silently calculated, 17,000 has reached my psychological price, even if I find another one with a higher bid, I'm afraid it won't be a few hundred yuan, I don't bother to run anymore, and said, "Okay, just according to the price you said." Seeing that the landlady wanted to go back to the counter to get the money, I said, "Wait," and put the other four gold bars on the counter full of gold jewelry.

The female boss was stunned: "And?" ”

"Well, you can help me estimate the price of a piece."

"Okay." The female boss showed a smile, and while holding the instrument to burn the impurities of the gold, she said casually: "Family heirloom, right?" You can't find this kind of homemade gold bar on the market now, well, yes, this one is also very pure, just a little mixed with impurities on the surface. "The female boss was in a very high mood and chatted with me without a match.

After testing, the bars were 87.1 grams, 93.4 grams, 94.5 grams and 98.0 grams.

As soon as I checked out, the female boss gave me a total of 85,000 yuan!

The bank was closed, and I couldn't deposit it for the time being, so I went back to Niu Street with my money bag, lying on the bed, I secretly smacked my tongue, this time the old house should not make less money, only a few pieces of gold were sold for 85,000, and there were several large bundles of Republic of China banknotes in the box!

Those things are definitely worth more than gold!
