Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 176 - 175: Gathering Treasures

Guangming Production Team and Red Star Production Team had an old graveyard between them, which had been there for years. Although the residents from both teams wouldn’t bury the deceased in the old graveyard, they still buried them nearby.

Therefore, those working in the field quickly voiced their concerns, "Dig up graves? Just don’t dig up our ancestral graves."

For this reason, people from Guangming Production Team lost the heart to work, as no one wanted their ancestors’ graves dug up, so they all took their hoes towards the old graveyard behind the hill.

Over there, the youth from both Red Star Production Team and Guangming Production Team were already clashing, with Jiaxing present, Guoqiang was absent.

As soon as Jiaxing arrived, seeing Liu Haiguo and Ge Lai, he asked, "What is the meaning of this by your team?"

"We are only digging up old graves, not meddling with your team’s graves, why are you blocking us?" Liu Haiguo said gloomily.

"This is all ancestral land, are you so sure you won’t make a mistake and disturb our ancestors’ graves?" Jiaxing looked at Liu Haiguo, "You just focus on being the team leader of Red Star Production Team and boost your production, why dig up graves?"

Ever since Liu Haiguo had become the team leader of Red Star Production Team, the team’s production had plummeted yearly with some people loafing around while others overworked, all pointing to significant managerial issues of Liu Haiguo.

Liu Haiguo quickly said, "Don’t worry about it, we are only moving those feudal old graves, it’s none of your business."

Saying that, Liu Haiguo swung his hoe and started digging right below his feet. Jiaxing frowned, looking at Ge Lai, "Aren’t you going to advise him?"

Ge Lai spread his hands; if advising was useful, he would have done it long ago, it was unknown whose advice Liu Haiguo had listened to insist on digging up graves.

"Let’s go," Jiaxing shouted to the youth of Guangming Production Team.

One of them moved forward and said, "Gao Er, what if there really is treasure here, and if they dig up something valuable..."

"That would be possible only if they live to enjoy it," Jiaxing replied, "Haven’t you heard the saying that digging up ancestral graves is a deed that damages one’s moral virtue? You might feel great now but who knows what impact it will have on future generations."

As soon as Jiaxing said this, no one from Guangming Production Team said anything further, nobody wanted to commit an act that would harm moral virtue, so they all kept their distance.

"Let’s go, just protect our own land," Jiaxing didn’t get any closer.

Xia Xiao also came over to watch the excitement, but she didn’t get close; she wasn’t superstitious before, but now being reborn made her somewhat superstitious, hence she didn’t dare to get too close.

Suddenly someone from Red Star Production Team shouted, "It’s gold, such big gold pieces."

"Wow, it’s an antique..."

As soon as someone called out, everyone grew curious; with a commotion, people from Red Star Production Team started fighting over the finds.

"This is mine, this is mine, that’s mine."

Amidst the commotion from the other side, people from Guangming Production Team grew curious, showing signs of restlessness.

Jiaxing saw Xia Xiao approaching and immediately said, "What are you doing here, go back now."

"It’s fine, I’m just looking," Xia Xiao replied and was also preparing to leave, somewhat tempted by the treasures, but she wouldn’t go as far as to dig graves.

Just as Xia Xiao was about to leave, Shitou said, "Don’t go, I feel like I sensed something."

That made her even more determined to leave; she was quickly urged on by Jiaxing, and as soon as she was away where no one was in sight, Xia Xiao slipped into her space and then invisibly moved towards the area where Liu Haiguo and the others were digging.

They had dug up this section of the old graves, but not every grave contained treasures. Xia Xiao asked, "What did you sense, an energy stone?"

"Maybe," Shitou’s voice was faintly excited.

"Where is it then?" Xia Xiao got even more interested upon hearing it might be an energy stone.

"It’s in this big grave they are digging now; we’ll go over soon, and I’ll point out which one for you to grab," Shitou said.

Xia Xiao hesitated, "This is an old grave, with strong corpse energy, are you sure if I get close to grab the energy stone, it won’t corrode me with corpse energy? If I get poisoned, that would be terrible."

"I’m here, what are you afraid of," Shitou reassured and added, "Just wear some gloves, don’t touch anything with your hands."

Xia Xiao nodded, stepped out of the space, and saw that the large grave had been dug open.

Another round of gasps came through, and Xia Xiao was already standing by, Shitou said, "See that, it’s the White Jade Pillow."

At this moment, people from Red Star Production Team started laughing out loud, "Looks like this is the grave of a high-ranking official, so many treasures."

"That must be a Jade Pillow," one person’s eyes were already shining.

Seeing that others had also noticed the Jade Pillow and were even walking towards it, Xia Xiao didn’t care about anything anymore and rushed over, donning gloves, grabbed the Jade Pillow, and dashed back into her space.

The person from Red Star Production Team just felt a breeze, and the Jade Pillow vanished before his eyes; he poked his eyes to check, but the Jade Pillow was still gone.

"Ghost, it’s a ghost," the man weakly crawled out.

"What are you doing?" Liu Haiguo frowned.

"Captain, just now a chill brushed by me, and the Jade Pillow is gone, it just vanished," the man said in terror. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"You saw it wrong," Liu Haiguo looked but saw no Jade Pillow.

Another person added, "He didn’t see wrong, I saw that Jade Pillow, it did vanish."

Now that someone had seen the Jade Pillow vanished, no one dared to enter the grave again, everyone sprawled on the ground with their limbs going cold.

Once Xia Xiao got the Jade Pillow into her space, Shitou was very delighted, "Didn’t expect there would be an energy stone here as well."

"Then you absorb it inside, I want to grab some treasures," Xia Xiao said and went invisible again.

Seeing that the treasures inside the large grave hadn’t been taken yet, and even as people from Red Star Production Team talked about it being haunted, a mischievous idea suddenly flashed in Xia Xiao’s mind.

"You go fetch the golden bowl, I don’t believe in ghosts in broad daylight, if there are any, let them show up," one person said.

However, as soon as his words fell, Xia Xiao took the golden bowl.

"The g-g-g-golden bowl is gone," someone trembled.

Everyone looked and indeed, the golden bowl was gone, which startled them.

Liu Haiguo said, "That antique Jade Bottle."

Right after he spoke, the Jade Bottle was also taken by Xia Xiao.

Seeing this, Ge Lai was also startled, disbelievingly shouted, "Stake guards."

Xia Xiao directly took the stake guards, while conveniently taking everything else that caught her eye into her space, since Red Star Production Team didn’t seem to want them anymore.

Everyone felt a chill on their necks, and just then the sun conveniently hid behind the clouds, and the woods on the mountain were somewhat dense, causing it to suddenly darken.

Ghosts, with a whoosh, people from Red Star Production Team ran helter-skelter, clearly quite frightened.

Not just them, even Xia Xiao herself felt a chill, quite terrible, but due to being reborn and having Shitou and the space, Xia Xiao also bolstered her courage.
