Gu Yuehuai's back was cold, listening to the familiar voice, forcing herself to calm down.

She looked at the black outhouse, pursed her lips, and responded: "Dad? ”

"Whoa! What are you doing? What's in your hand? Gu Zhifeng was dressed in clothes, and by the light outside the house, he saw Gu Yuehuai, who was wearing a robe and struggling to carry a wooden box, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand.

Gu Yuehuai adapted to the light in the dark, glanced at the back room with the door closed, and said in a solemn tone: "Dad, don't ask anything first, help move the box into my room, and I'll tell you again." ”

Gu Zhifeng was a little surprised, but when she heard her daughter's tone, she didn't dare to ask more, so she nodded again and again, and carried the wooden box into the house.

As soon as he put the box away, he saw that Gu Yuehuai had moved another box of the same size and came back.

Gu Zhifeng was a little dazed, looking at the silent face of the girl in the dark, she just worked with her head bored, and made several trips in succession before finally moving all the four boxes back to the house.

Gu Yuehuai lowered her voice and said solemnly: "Dad, you stay in the house, close the door, don't ask the second brother to find the box." ”

Gu Zhifeng nodded blankly.

After Gu Yuehuai finished speaking, he went out in the rain again, turned to the back of the house, looked at a few deep pits, filled all the weeds and stones around him into the pits, and dug the soil from a distance to fill in the insufficient ones, until the four big pits were filled, and the rain gradually decreased.

The sky was still like thick ink, Gu Yuehuai stood in place and watched for a while, making sure that nothing was missing, before returning to the house.

She took off her coat, cleaned the mud from her hoe, and returned to her room with the water vapor, and inserted the latch upside down with her backhand, carefully and cautiously.

Gu Zhifeng was squatting on the ground looking at a few lacquered wooden boxes, confused.

As soon as he saw Gu Yuehuai coming back, he asked, "Girl, what is this?" Why haven't you seen it yet? ”

Gu Yuehuai didn't say a word, wiped the rain from his hands and face, took out the matches and candles in the drawer, lit them glued to the corner of the table, and also illuminated the small room.

"Girl?" Gu Zhifeng whispered again.

Gu Yuehuai looked at several red lacquered wooden boxes of the same size that were placed side by side, and said, "Dad, I was smashed on the head by Chen Yin a few days ago, and when I was dazed, I heard the ancestor of our Gu family appear and say that he left us a treasure. ”

"I thought that it was raining heavily tonight, and no one saw it, so I dug according to the place instructed by the ancestors, and sure enough, four boxes of things were dug up.

Gu Yuehuai said that he had a nose and eyes, and he trembled when Gu Zhifeng said it.

He looked around and said with a cowardly expression: "Ancestor? Child...... Nannan, is there really an ancestor? ”

Gu Yuehuai smiled in her heart, but her face was serious: "Dad also sees that I'm different, right?" It was all ignited by the ancestors, saying that if our family doesn't do it properly and runs to the black market, we will definitely die! ”

When her father was young, he killed her grandfather because of gambling, and now although he has changed his ways, he still has a deep shadow of this, and when he mentions the ancestors of the family, he is both guilty and afraid.

"Dead people?" When Gu Zhifeng heard this, his face turned pale and terrifying.

"You think, the ancestors said that there is a treasure, if there is a treasure, then they said that if they go to the black market again, they will die, that must not be nonsense, Dad, our family is stable, you must not go to the black market again, you know?"

Gu Yuehuai was frightened, and nodded again and again when Gu Zhifeng was scared, and promised that he would never go again.

Seeing this, her heart relaxed a little.

Although it was unexpected to be caught by his father, it was good to let him know, and it was just an opportunity to let him understand that his family was not poor and white, and there was no need to risk running to the black market, which could be regarded as the end of his imminent thought.

When Gu Yuehuai squatted down and was about to open the box to take a look, Gu Zhifeng was still whispering on the side: "Nan, what does the ancestor look like?" Have you seen your grandfather? Does he blame me? ”

"Dad, you relax and revive our Gu family in the future, can grandpa blame you in the future?" Gu Yuehuai said.

Gu Zhifeng sighed heavily: "How easy is it?" Now it's a new society, and doing a little business can be caught as speculation, how can it be revitalized? I'm afraid I won't have a chance in this life. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Zhifeng was a little discouraged.

Gu Yuehuai glanced at him and didn't say anything.

It may not be a good time now, but in another ten years, the development of agriculture will enter a golden age, the national economy will begin to take off, and people will abound to go to the sea to do business, and the vast majority will seize the opportunity and become the first to become wealthy.

That was undoubtedly an opportunity.

However, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Gu Yuehuai looked at Gu Zhifeng a little discouraged, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, aren't you curious about what the ancestor left behind?"

Gu Zhifeng raised his eyelids and said weakly: "What haven't I seen your father?" ”

"Really?" Gu Yuehuai glanced at him.

She wiped the mud off the box, and the rusty lock opened with a slight pull.

Gu Zhifeng said that, and when he heard the lock open, he still came over curiously.

When the box was opened, there was a box of all kinds of porcelain, including a jar with a unique shape and a unique lid with a lotus leaf lid, a plum vase with a colorful and magnificent gold ribbon lid, and a snuff bottle with a skillful pen and ink technique.

There are more than a dozen large and small porcelains in this box, but unfortunately some of them have been oxidized and damaged.

"Shhhh Gu Zhifeng exclaimed in surprise, leaned on the side of the box and looked carefully, his original plain expression became rigorous, and he knew that the treasure left by his ancestors was not ordinary.

Gu Yuehuai had seen these things in her previous life, and she was not surprised.

She then opened the second lacquered wooden box, which contained neat jewelry boxes, large and small, long and short, with exquisite color drawings painted on them.

Gu Yuehuai then opened a long box, in which was placed a pair of oblate round jade bracelets with excellent germplasm, high transparency, and bright emerald color, which were enough to be used as heirlooms in terms of value alone.

Gu Zhifeng took a breath of cool air: "When I was a child, I saw your grandmother wear a pair of bracelets, the material is very transparent, your father bought it for her at a great price, and your grandmother likes it." It's a pity that in order to pay off my gambling debts, ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhifeng's tone was full of chagrin.

Gu Yuehuai didn't speak, and then opened the third box.

If the contents of the first two boxes can only be regarded as heirlooms and cannot be sold now, then the contents of the third box are things that can be exchanged for money.

In the third box was a stack of foreign money wrapped in newspaper, and neatly stacked gold and silver bars.

Foreign money is the currency that circulated during the Republic of China, commonly known as the ocean.

After the implementation of the new monetary policy of the state, it began to free up its hands to recycle the ocean for destruction, but there are always omissions, and to this day, some rural areas in remote areas are even using "Yuan Datou" for trading.

The gold barcode is put on, and it looks even a little dazzling.

Gu Zhifeng held his breath, looked at the lacquered wooden box with a look of disbelief, and then looked at the girl with a calm expression, and felt that he had never seen the world as an old man for a while.
