55 I’m Rich! I’ve Dug Up Two Big Treasure Chests! (4)
It would have been worth 30 million.
However, due to how damaged it was, it could only be sold for 12 million.
The were also a couple other items from older dynasties but were damaged by their new Ming dynasty owners.
Among them was a horse racing mirror from the Song Dynasty, used for playing Cuju1, which was worth around 14 million.
!!
Wang Yousheng and Luo Feng had also analyzed that the reason why there was barely anything good left in the site was due to its residents fleeing away before a flood.
As a result, most the gold, silver, and valuable treasures had been taken away.
That explained why there were no expensive clothes in the wardrobes that they had found.
As for the stage costumes he had found previously, Luo Feng surmised that their owner did not have enough time to make away with them, since they were stored within a hidden compartment.
Moreover, there were no corpses, so it was even more likely that the residents had predicted the flood and fled in advance.
“There seems to be a red dot below? And then a couple of orange dots?”
Now that most of the soil had been removed, it was much easier to determine the position of the items indicated by the dots.
“Everyone, come over here. I can feel something down there!”
Luo Feng immediately shouted.
“Ah? Lil’ Luo, how did you know that there was something down there?”
Wang Yousheng also followed the rest of the villagers.
“These are floor tiles! Don’t the ancient people like to be bury their treasures underneath their floor tiles?”
“If there really was a flood, I doubt they have the time to get those buried treasures out, right?”
After giving it some thought, Luo Feng decided to make such an excuse.
He also made a mental note to point at a random spot later that contained no treasure. Doing so would throw off Wang Yousheng’s trail, at least.
“Hmm, your analysis does make sense, but…”
Wang Yousheng’s mouth twitched, but he did not say anything more.
It seemed like the floor tiles Luo Feng found were the same as the floor tiles of the woman with the costumes.
After all, most commoners did not have floor tiles in their homes.
“Get to work! Chop chop!”
“I also think that there will be treasures buried under the tiles!”
“That’s right, that’s what they do on TV!”
Everyone’s interest was piqued when they heard Luo Feng’s analysis.
They began to dig.
Luo Feng first directed his men to dig at spots where he was certain that there were no treasures.
More than an hour had passed.
Not even a strand of hair had been discovered.
“F*ck! Why isn’t there anything?”
“Looks like television dramas are all lies!”
“Who would bury something in the ground? Wouldn’t it be nice to keep it in the cupboard at home?”
“Two hours of digging for nothing. F*ck!”
However, just as the livestream started to complain…
Luo Feng, on the other hand, had discovered something.
The feedback from the Swallowtail Hoe feels like iron?
And this iron…
It feels kind of soft, as if it’s hollow…
“Could it be an iron box?”
“Brothers, I have something here!”
Luo Feng shouted, and the viewers in the livestream room immediately became more alert.
A few people also came over.
10 minutes later.
Luo Feng dug out a rusty iron box.
The box was about 1.2 meters wide.
It was quite big.
After removing the soil on the surface.
Everyone was also shocked.
It was also a meter high!?
“F * ck! No way, there’s really a treasure chest buried under the floor tiles?”
“Who was the one who said that the television dramas were all lies?”
“Hahaha, the host is still the best. You can dig up treasures just by analyzing a television drama?”
“…”
Luo Feng did not slow down when he saw the large metal box.
After calling three people, they carefully carried the blacksmith’s box out of the pit.
“Damn! It looks quite heavy, don’t tell me it’s all silver?”
“Idiot, it could also be a chest full of gold!”
“Assuming that this is also from the Ming dynasty, a chest of silver of this size would definitely fetch a huge sum of money. Although the actress from before seems to be well-off, I doubt she’s that rich.”
As for the people carrying the box…
They could more or less feel that the box had weighed around a hundred catties.
After digging out and moving aside the chest, Luo Feng leaped right back into action. He dug a few times on both sides of the pit with the Swallowtail Hoe.
After a layer of soil collapsed, it revealed another box.
“Holy crap dude! Another iron chest?”
“The host is rich! The things that the actress put in must be good stuff!”
If it were any other person, they would definitely be leaping with excitement and joy upon discovery of the first chest.
However, Luo Feng was the complete opposite. He remained completely calm and had dug out a second one.
Luo Feng called for his cousin, Luo Yun, to carry the second box.
The red dot and the orange dots also disappeared from the pit.
The markers were gone, which meant that there were no longer any treasures to be unearthed below.
“Everyone, look carefully. The host is going to open the chests!”
Luo Feng did not put much thought as he swung his hoe and pried open the lock on one of the chests.
He had been informed by the system that the chests were only worth around 10 thousand yuan.
Luo Feng cared not for such a measly sum.
Upon opening the first chest, he was greeted by a layer of dust over its contents.
He used a brush to sweep the dust away.
At long last, the contents of the box would be completely revealed…
