Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1430: Treasure Hunting
While the village was shocked by Bai Luyun's sudden sickness, Lu Jueyu and her husband were on their way to the mountains.
Holding onto the map given by Doctor Xie, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, this location should be near the mountain lake."
Hearing her husband's words, Lu Jueyu looked at the map and said, "Husband, this map is so simple, and you can find the place so fast?"
Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "My eldest brother is very good at recognizing and remembering roads, and he taught me since we were young. Even if I'm not as good as him, my skill is not bad either. This map actually pointed out all the important places."
He then pointed at the map and explained, "The first mark of mushroom and bamboo drawing is actually the bamboo grove behind our house. Then the river is the mountain river where our son often goes fishing with Jianmin."
"This big rock is the cliff near the wheat field, then this big circle and two vertical lines are the mountain waterfall and lake. The small squares scattered on the drawing are the chests buried by Doctor Xie."
After hearing the explanation, Lu Jueyu found that the map was indeed very clear, although not too detailed.
Seeing her nodding, Li Chenmo smiled and held her hand tightly while saying, "The road in the mountain is steep and slippery. Don't let go of my hand and walk carefully."
"Okay!"
At first, Li Chenmo didn't agree for his wife to come to the mountain with him. But after she threw a tantrum, then acted coquettishly and even sold cuteness, he couldn't win against her and softened his heart.
So, he agreed to let her come with him, but with a lot of rules. She has to listen to him, stay close to him, hold his hand all the time, and can't tire herself.
After they reached an agreement, they came together, and now, they walked slowly so as to avoid any risk of her falling. When they found the first location, it was already an hour later.
Lu Jueyu was excited since this is the first time for her to go treasure hunting. She compared the map and the surroundings before she exclaimed with joy, "Husband, this must be the place!"
Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Let's go dig the place under the tree first."
"Okay!"
After digging for fifteen minutes, they finally found the chest. Li Chenmo looked at his wife and said, "Wife, go sit there and take a rest."
Feeling a little bit tired, Lu Jueyu didn't refuse and sat at a stone not far from him. While she was drinking the spiritual herbs powder water, her husband continued to dig the soil and pulled out the chest.
She didn't know how heavy the chest was, but when she saw her husband's muscles contract and tighten, she knew that it's not light either.
Fearing that he would get hurt, she quickly said, "Husband, don't lift it up."
Li Chenmo was also shocked by how heavy the chest was and didn't insist. He could carry up to 400 kilograms, but he found it difficult to lift up this chest.
Lu Jueyu waved her hand and put the chest into her space. Afterward, she held her husband's hand and brought the two of them into the space.
Inside the space, the two of them stood at the yard and looked at the chest covered in soil. After Li Chenmo cleaned up the soil, he cut the lock with a tool and opened it.
The moment the chest was opened, the two of them were stunned.
They thought that no matter how many gold bars Doctor Xie had, it must be no more than several kilograms. But inside the box, the gold was not gold bars. Instead, it was gold coins used during the Great Qing dynasty.
Picking up one of the gold coins, they could see the dragon patterns on the coins. Due to the long time after the production and also being buried under the soil, the gold coins were not as shining as before.
The two of them exchanged glances and understood that the price of these gold coins not only lay in the weight but also in the historical value.
Reaching this thought, Lu Jueyu suddenly felt that she had taken advantage of Doctor Xie.
In her past life, a piece of a well-preserved Great Qing dynasty's gold coin was sold in the auction for almost $100,000. With the value of these coins, even if he only gave her a handful, it was more than enough to buy the ginseng.
Feeling curious, she moved a scale from the warehouse and weighed the gold coins. Each gold coin weighed 37.5 grams, and after deducing the wooden chest, the total weight was 375 kilograms, which is equivalent to 10,000 pieces of gold coins.
When they finally got the exact number, the two of them took a sharp breath.
"Wife, it seems that the ginseng you sold cost at least several hundred million yuan at current price," Li Chenmo said.
"Husband, if I told you I didn't know that Doctor Xie is giving me so much, would you believe me?" Lu Jueyu asked.
Noticing his wife's guilt, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, "If you feel bad toward Doctor Xie, then just give him a few more ginseng and a few bottles of tonic wine."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Okay."
After they calmed down, the two of them took some rest before they left the space and continued searching for the rest of the chests. It took them a whole day to find all of the chests buried by Doctor Xie.
Besides the first chest, there were three more gold coins of the Great Qing dynasty. The rest of the chests were full of gold bars, each weighing a kilogram, and each chest contained 250 pieces of gold bars.
This time, digging up ten chests was worth more than all the gold bars she had earned so far from selling things in the black market.
