Chapter 112: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 112
Wei Miao stood up and stomped on the loose soil with his feet. Lu Pingsheng frowned.
"Is that the end?" He was quite surprised as he felt the ground shaking slightly.
Just now, Wei Miao felt the surging wealth and fell asleep on the ground.
But now she seemed to have taken stimulants, full of energy and even seemed to have increased her strength.
"Brother Lu, I have a hunch, it's right down there." There was a hint of excitement in Wei Miao's voice.
It’s almost been three years.
Whenever she felt there was wealth underneath, she would start digging intermittently. Unfortunately, she was small and not very strong, and she also had to avoid letting the seven or eight pairs of eyes of the Wei family notice anything.
God knows how painful it was for her when she was starving day and night and couldn't eat the bread even though she knew it was there.
After hearing this, Lu Pingsheng also became excited. He picked up the shovel and carefully shoveled in one direction.
A minute later, the shovel hit something hard.
The two looked at each other, with complicated expressions on their faces.
For Wei Miaofu it was a dream come true, while Lu Pingsheng really didn't expect that there was a secret room underground, and he got the result after digging less than two meters.
"Ah Miao, if this world is a novel, you have to change your name."
Wei Miao didn't understand his strange words, so he just asked instinctively, "Change what?"
"Wei Aotian?"
Wei Miao rolled her eyes. This name sounded so domineering and indifferent to other people’s lives, which didn’t match her temperament at all.
She thought her name “Miao” was pretty good, as it could be big or small, deep or far, clear or fuzzy, and it belongs to the water element in the Five Elements, which represents wealth.
This information suddenly appeared in Wei Miao's mind, but she didn't care. Since she had enough wealth and food, some things would pop up from time to time.
She guessed it was a tiny part of the awakening of her bloodline inheritance.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
After feeling the obstacle below, Lu Pingsheng jumped out of the pit and took the exploration equipment they had prepared earlier and went down into the pit.
Then he saw Wei Miao staring blankly with the corners of his lips curled up, and he took the opportunity to knock the little brat on the head.
"Brother Lu, let's make a deal first. I want all the gold and silver in there, and you have to convert the rest into gold for me."
Wei Miao emphasized his bottom line again.
After all, Lu Pingsheng is now a pauper like her.
Lu Pingsheng looked at her serious expression and sneered, "We don't even know if there's a treasure house or an ancient tomb down there, and you're already giving me orders."
With the help of the flashlight, Wei Miao carefully swept away the last thin layer of soil.
"My mother said that only by speaking out loud in advance can things last long."
Before Lu Pingsheng could say something else, he saw a bluestone slab corroded and soaked by mud appear in front of him.
"No matter whether it exists or not, let's go down and take a look first." He was ambitious.
Then the two of them began to stare blankly at the bluestone slab which was about one meter square.
After half an hour.
"How do I open this?"
When Wei Miao heard his question, she also frowned. She didn't know if it was because it was too old, but the bluestone slab seemed to be welded to the ground.
Unable to knock or push it open, they dug further down around the bluestone slab.
Then I found another bluestone slab, which was in the shape of a staircase, and so on.
"Pyramid? Do we have to dig all the way to the bottom before we can get in?" Lu Pingsheng muttered while panting.
Wei Miao had read about the pyramids in reports and books.
There are many reports about many Westerners organizing expeditions and searching for treasures everywhere.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Wei Miao knocked on them one by one, carefully distinguishing the sound of each bluestone slab, feeling the concentration of wealth emanating from each bluestone slab, and finally returned to the second step.
"Brother Lu, here." Wei Miao's tone was full of surprise.
Lu Pingsheng also became excited. He was certain in his heart that Wei Miao had a particularly sensitive intuition about things like treasures.
The two of them swept away the loose soil on both sides of the second step, and then they discovered the difference.
"There's actually a tiny drop here. Is it a track?"
The two men used all their strength to push the bluestone slab over, and a black hole appeared before their eyes.
Smelling the rotten smell rising from inside, Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao looked at each other in surprise.
Then Wei Miao's mouth was covered by Lu Pingsheng. Wei Miao could only stare at him, only to find that he was covering his mouth with his other hand as well.
"Be careful, it's poisonous." Lu Pingsheng said vaguely.
Wei Miao rolled his eyes, thinking that a smart man like Brother Lu must have read too many treasure hunting novels in the tabloids, which was why he was so stupid.
"Brother Lu, let's each put a candle and match on our body and go down to take a look first."
Wei Miao was eager to try.
Lu Pingsheng raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. "Ah Miao, in one hour, A Ling and A Ran will knock on our door and bring us breakfast."
Wei Miao rolled his eyes, "Then you wait outside, I'll go. If they ask me, just say you're sleepy."
How could Lu Pingsheng be willing to let her take risks alone? "The cave entrance is already open. You can't escape here. Let it get rid of the musty smell inside."
Wei Miao obviously couldn't listen.
The food is right in front of us, how can we not let the hungry people eat?
"Ah Miao, I think we can spend the day researching the history of this alley and find out who would hide something underneath to determine whether it's worth the risk."
Unfortunately, before Lu Pingsheng could finish his words, Wei Miao had already lit the candle and entered the black hole.
"Ah Miao!"
Lu Pingsheng growled, and then Wei Miao said in a muffled voice:
"Brother Lu, I'm lighting a candle. If something is wrong, I'll come up."
Lu Pingsheng held his forehead with his hand, this is the legendary valuing money over life.
What can he do? Just guard it well.
Wei Miao held a candle in one hand and a small flashlight in the other and walked down the steps one by one.
The candle flame didn't even flicker and was burning perfectly well, which meant that the air was circulating well underneath.
The further Wei Miao went down, the more he felt that he was surrounded by a strong aura of wealth.
She felt so comfortable that she felt like she was floating in the air, and she wanted to sit on the steps and take a nap.
Fortunately, the candle burst into sparks, and the splashing wax stung the skin on my hands, which made me sober up a little.
Just when Wei Miao felt that the steps in front of him were endless, he finally reached the bottom.
She used a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings and found that there were a lot of boxes placed against the bluestone walls in a space of only five square meters.
Some of the boxes were still open, containing gold and silver corroded by time, as well as some gemstones whose materials could not be identified.
The copper coins on the ground were almost integrated with the bluestone slabs, and some were directly embedded in them.
Wei Miao looked at the lamp stand on the wall. The lamp oil inside had dried up, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
Such a strong aura of wealth cannot be emitted by just a dozen boxes.
But she looked around and really didn't see any other problems.
