I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 28 Picking up gold bars
  After everyone left, they found a place to rest, and then carefully studied the map Liu Wei gave them.

To be honest, although they have plans, no one has been to Jiangnan, so they really don't know the exact route.

This is one of the reasons why Uncle Geng did not dare to take his wife and daughter to Jiangnan. It was too risky.

He didn't know what else would be waiting for them on the way. It would be fine if they just protected the two sisters Xiaoxue, but when there were too many people, he couldn't take care of them alone.

Closer to home, the purpose of their trip to Ping'an Town was actually to find out the route to Jiangnan.

However, he didn't expect to meet Liu Wei, so he still had a lot of time left. Moreover, although his route was only a very simple route, it was still much better than them walking south in a daze.

"Liu Wei just said that Han Gong has resurrected, and he also said that if we follow this route, we can meet him in Anyang City..."

After Uncle Geng finished speaking, Geng Xiaoyan was filled with doubts, "What does that have to do with us..."

They don't know Han Zaifu, and such a high official is not something they can get close to...

If they had any grievances, they could go to him, but they had neither grievances nor anything to ask for help about.

"That's right." Uncle Geng smiled awkwardly, "Then let's continue on our way. Let's go to Anping Town first as planned."

Chen Chuxue naturally had no objection, but she had to open the treasure chest first. This time the treasure chest was found in a river.

Fortunately, the river at this time has completely dried up, the river bed is even more solid, and many bones can be seen on the river bed.

There are fish and other unknown creatures.

There are even other bones.

Chen Chuxue and others have seen it a lot, and now they have already calmed down when facing these bones.

However, she didn't expect that the treasure chest this time was actually hidden in the river, and it was still underground.

This left Chen Chuxue helpless and could only explain it to the Geng family. Uncle Geng took the hoe and started digging without saying a word.

This hoe was stored in Chen Chuxue's space when she left home. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.

Chen Chuxue wanted to help, but was stopped by Uncle Geng, "This is a small job for me. You can just go aside and rest."

Then, Uncle Geng spit on his hands, rubbed his hands, and started digging. Fortunately, the treasure chest was not buried deep, just a layer of soil on the surface.

After the topsoil was dug out, everyone was stunned.

I saw golden light shining inside, which almost blinded everyone's eyes. It took a while to recover.

Then, Aunt Geng said in disbelief, "Is this gold?"

Uncle Geng looked at the four or five gold bars placed in the pit and swallowed involuntarily, "It seems so."

"Gold?"

Chen Chuxue's eyes widened, "No, my treasure chest hasn't been opened yet? Why did gold come out?"

"Gold, is it real or fake? I haven't seen gold yet?" Geng Xiaoyan ran over with gleaming eyes, dug out the gold bar from the soil, and looked at it carefully.

Chen Chuxue also hugged Xiaoyue and came over curiously. She had never seen a gold bar in her two lifetimes.

Uncle Geng and Aunt Geng also came over, picked up a gold bar from the ground, and started studying it.

"It's really a gold bar!" Aunt Geng nodded, "Look here it still says Zhou, it's obviously made by the government."

Chen Chuxue was a little surprised, not that it was made by the government, but that Aunt Geng could recognize it. You must know that in the village, few people have seen gold bars, let alone recognize those made by the government.

Moreover, few people in the village are literate, let alone literate women.

Coupled with Aunt Geng's conversation, Chen Chuxue felt for a moment that Aunt Geng's identity was not simple.

Could it be that he has the same background as his predecessor and escaped here for some reason?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Aunt Geng scolding her, "You girl, why do you eat everything? You wouldn't have been reincarnated as a pig in your previous life!"

Seeing Aunt Geng laughing and scolding Xiaoyan without any grace, Chen Chuxue felt a little suspicious. Maybe Aunt Geng really came from the countryside...

If Aunt Geng was really a lady or had an extraordinary background, she shouldn't be like this...

However, although it was said to be a scolding, it was actually just teasing. Aunt Geng still loved Geng Xiaoyan very much.

I just saw her pick up the gold bar covered with dirt and put it in her mouth to bite, and she suddenly became anxious and cursed.

Geng Xiaoyan looked aggrieved, "Didn't I hear that you can tell the authenticity of gold by biting it, so I couldn't help but give it a try..."

"Do you know how dirty this thing is?" Aunt Geng's head was covered with black lines. "As soon as you put this thing in your mouth, your nine lives won't even be enough..."

This gold bar has been buried here for so long. I don’t know how much dirt there is, but there is nothing that can be bitten.

Geng Xiaoyan actually didn't think much about it. When he was in the village, he often dug holes in the fields, dug up grass roots, dug up bugs, and ate them without washing them before wiping them on his clothes. Everyone did this.

She's used to it.

"From now on, I will learn from you, Sister Chuxue. What does it mean to be a lady? If you are so careless and heartless, how can you get married in the future?"

Obviously, Aunt Geng began to worry about Geng Xiaoyan's marriage. It seemed that her worries were unfounded. After all, she was now on the run and it was difficult to survive. But since Chen Chuxue showed her ability, Aunt Geng's thoughts were different.

She knows that Chen Chuxue's identity is not simple, and with such magical means, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

You can only make friends with such people.

Especially after sharing the joys and sorrows together, the relationship will become deeper. She does not ask how Chen Chuxue will repay the Geng family in the future. She only hopes that Xiaoyan can follow Chen Chuxue as a maid.

She knew very well that with Chen Chuxue's ability, Xiao Yan would be too high to be a maid next to her. After all, Xiao Yan was from a humble background and often did not understand the ways of the world.

But no matter what, as long as Xiao Yan stays with Chen Chuxue, at least he won't go hungry in the future, which is much better than staying with them.

Therefore, she will constantly correct her good habits and mistakes on the road, and she will be stricter than at home.

At least she didn't know how to curse at home, but on the road, she didn't know how many times she scolded Xiaoyan, just to make her grow up as quickly as possible.

After all, when they find a suitable place, they will separate from Chen Chuxue. To be honest, after knowing Chen Chuxue's abilities, Aunt Geng actually thought about following Chen Chuxue to Jiangnan together.

But thinking that if they followed, they would be delayed. At most, after finding a suitable place, she would stay there and let Xiaoyan follow. At least she could help take care of Xiaoyue.

Naturally, Geng Xiaoyan didn't know her mother's good intentions, so she could only look at her father with aggrieved eyes.

As a result, Uncle Geng's mouth twitched and he quickly turned to look at Chen Chuxue, "Ahem, that Xiaoxue, your wealth is not in vain, so you should quickly put away this gold bar!"

Chen Chuxue shook his head, "Uncle Geng, wait a moment. Let's talk about how to distribute the gold bars first!"
