Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 296 Getting rich again

After Jiang Yu left Liuzhi Hutong, she started running as fast as she could. Thanks to the cold weather, there were not many people outside, so her inhuman speed could be hidden.

When we returned to the hideout, the whole alley was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

All the residents stayed in their homes, shutting doors and windows and keeping quiet, fearing that the Red Guards would come back again.

As for why they fought back, who knows? The Little Red Guards are just crazy. There is no logic to them and they do things based on their pleasure.

Because of this, Jiang Yu got a good deal. She had climbed over the wall to leave with Chen Fufeng on her back just now. This time, she chose to climb over the wall again. She pushed her long legs against the brick wall with a little effort. Her long fingers grabbed the wall, then she tightened her core, exerted force with her arms, and flipped over directly into the yard.

She returned the same way, entered the cellar again, and began to look for the same earthen wall as the one where Chen Fufeng was imprisoned. Since there was one door, there couldn't be a second one.

There was still a lot of food in the cellar. Jiang Yu took out a new backpack without hesitation and started to fill the space with food. She thought that next time Fu Biao and his friends went out to do business, she could give them the food at a lower price. Isn't this all free money?

When the cellar was emptied and only some wooden shelves were left, Jiang Yu finally found the earthen wall that was disguised very casually. And there was more than one of them. In addition to the room where the people were imprisoned, there were two other doors.

Jiang Yu went to one of the doors and listened for a moment, making sure there was no sound from inside before opening the door. This time he used the axe that he pulled out from the space and directly smashed the earth wall.

After the earth wall collapsed, the situation inside was naturally exposed.

The shelves were filled with cloth and leather.

Jiang Yu frowned. This shouldn't be the case. Why would the fabric and leather be placed in such a hidden space? Could it be that the owner of the house was hiding something for personal use?

She took two steps forward in confusion, collected all the goods, and looked around again, tapping the wall with the butt of the flashlight as she walked, but found nothing.

Jiang Yu's eyes fell on the ground, and he thought, could it be that the people in this place all use the same method to hide things?

She thought it was possible, so she put away her axe, switched to a hoe, and started digging the ground.

Maybe she really found the place. The mud there was easy to dig. She could easily shovel out a large piece of mud with one shovel.

With just a few moves, Jiang Yu scraped off a layer of the surface, revealing the round sealed openings inside.

What a devilish behavior. She shook her head in her heart, but the jar here seemed to be smaller?

Then he simply bent down, opened the nearest sealed jar, and used a flashlight to check the contents inside.

It was a jar of broken gold, real broken gold. I don't know who was so talented to cut the gold into such small pieces. What was the purpose? To hide it? What's the difference between this and hiding gold bars directly? Gold bars are more convenient to calculate the value.

The second jar was pearls, but the color was dull, and it seemed that they were very old. They were lightly layered at the bottom of the jar, and the quantity was very small. But they were quite big. Could this thing be saved? If I didn't need it myself, it would be nice to give it to someone else.

The third jar was filled with gems. Jiang Yu put on gloves, reached in and took out a handful to examine. They were in the same condition as pearls, probably because the surface was not polished, slightly dull, gray and hazy as if covered with a layer of gauze, but they were full of colorful gems, which was also very beautiful. But there were not many of them either.

The fourth can was filled with stinky black solids. Jiang Yu was a little confused and smelled it again. It seemed to be ink? Was this ink made using ancient methods?

The fifth jar contained jade, Tianhuang stone, chicken blood stone, and various small and beautiful stones. Jiang Yu knew how to use these things. The geographical magazine mentioned some local specialties. These beautiful stones were used for carving.

The sixth jar was a string of beads, made of various materials, all put together. They seemed to be rolled up together, and it was impossible to take them out one by one to look at them.

The seventh jar is silver dollars. I can't use them now, but they might be worth some money in the future.

The eighth jar is filled with broken silver. The pieces are slightly bigger than gold, but they look pitiful and are suitable for melting to make things.

The ninth jar is basically a rolled-up ancient book, but it is not wrapped in oil paper or anything for protection. Mold spots can be seen when a flashlight is shone on it. Perhaps this is because the jar is not sealed well.

Jiang Yu directly transferred the ancient books to a separate empty cabinet for storage. She would not move this cabinet in the short term.

Unless she finds the right person or learns how to deal with it herself, it is safer to let them stay in a space where time stands still.

There are basically some banknotes in the jar at the back.

The first shovel of soil that Jiang Yu dug was near the jars. The soil was loose, so it must have been dug and buried frequently.

The money and bills are not much. This kind of black market group usually does not have a lot of liquid funds on hand, and they mainly exchange them for goods.

There is still one earth wall left.

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked in that direction, and decided to deal with the matter at hand first.

She put everything in the jars into the basket and put it into the space. She tied the seals of the empty jars again and filled them with soil. When she was halfway through filling, she threw the piece of paper she had just picked up in there as an inducement.

After the ground was smooth as if it had never been pried open and all traces were erased, she went to check the last hidden space.

The earthen wall was demolished in the same violent manner, and Jiang Yu waited until the dust had settled before going inside.

The goods displayed outside this time were basically some scarce materials, thermos bottles, enamel basins, rubber shoes, and even a bicycle and a sewing machine.

Isn't this a coincidence? Jiang Yu originally wanted to buy a sewing machine, and now he can get one for free. Sure enough, this kind of good thing really can't be missed!

Jiang Yu happily began to fill things into the space. She felt that she would never need to buy another washbasin in her life. The ones she picked up today would probably be enough even if she gave some away.

There are also thermoses. If you take these things to the countryside, the villagers will go crazy for them!

Of course, the construction team cannot be counted as ordinary farmers. Just looking at the fact that there are rarely even patches on their clothes, you can tell that they have extra money.

Jiang Yu sometimes felt that it was a huge mistake that he did not turn over all the people’s land to check last time!

But she took the lion's share, and the villagers in the construction team were deeply hurt. It would take them several years to recover.

There was nothing in the last cellar, but she found a palm-sized wooden box from a rat hole in the corner. Inside lay a small notebook with some crooked words written on it with charcoal. The content was similar to the one she found in Sixth Uncle's house before.
