Chapter 938 Mysterious Cave (4)
Thinking that most of the things the father and son found last time were found in wooden boxes, Ye Qingqing planned to start searching from the boxes.
The wooden box in front of me is large, but it looks very rough, and there are many burrs on the outside of the board.
The box was made of unknown wood and was quite heavy. Ye Qingqing spent a lot of effort to open the box.
After opening the box, Ye Qingqing found two pieces of cotton clothes inside. They looked yellow and must have been there for many years.
The clothes were very soft in his hands, and Ye Qingqing knew it was fine cotton at the first touch.
Ye Qingqing didn't expect that the original owner of the cave was so well-dressed, and she thought he was a rough guy.
After taking a closer look, Ye Qingqing found that the clothes were very particular in terms of materials and stitching.
Some of them look like the clothes worn by wealthy people in the county. This person is probably quite wealthy.
It can be seen from these clothes that the person who lived here before was probably a middle-aged man with a good family background.
Ye Qingqing searched both pieces of clothing, but unfortunately didn't find anything useful.
Ye Qingqing put the clothes aside casually, and then banged them inside the empty big box.
The wood used in this box is very thick, and there may be a sandwich inside.
Ye Qingqing searched the box twice, but couldn't find the mezzanine. Instead, his hand was pricked by a wooden thorn.
"Bai is very happy. The reason why the wood is so thick is probably because this person is not good at his craftsmanship."
Ye Qingqing wiped the small blood droplets on his index finger on his handkerchief and kicked the large, rough-made box angrily.
"Crack!"
I don't know if the box was in disrepair or if the workmanship was so poor that it was kicked to pieces by Ye Qingqing.
"My mother, when did I become so powerful?"
Ye Qingqing was shocked when she looked at the box that was broken into several pieces. She obviously didn't use much effort?
"What's wrong? Are you injured?"
Hearing the sound, Tang Xiaojing trotted over with Da Huang and Xiao Huang.
"It's okay, it's just that this box is too weak. I kicked it lightly and it fell apart."
"The workmanship of this box is rough, and after so many years, the wooden boards have long since rotted. If it's broken, it's broken. It's useless to keep it anyway."
Tang Xiaojing saw that half of the box was scattered, so he simply dismantled it all and took it home to use as firewood when he returned.
After dismantling them, Tang Xiaojing hugged the wooden boards together and planned to take them out to the big cave outside.
As soon as Tang Xiaojing stood up, Ye Qingqing saw a small sparkling thing on the ground.
"Sir, there is something on the ground."
Saying that, Ye Qingqing immediately picked up the shiny things on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gold leaf the size of a finger.
This golden leaf is light and fluttering in the hand, and it shines under the light of the torch. It is really beautiful.
Tang Xiaojing turned around and saw the shining golden leaves in Ye Qingqing's hand, and became happy.
"I didn't expect there was gold hidden in this box."
Ye Qingqing couldn't put it down holding this exquisite little thing.
"This gold leaf is really beautiful, but it's too thin and light. It probably weighs less than a penny."
Ye Qingqing often counts silver, and once he gets started with it, he can tell how much it weighs.
If converted into silver, it would probably be about 9 yuan.
Ye Qingqing didn't dislike the small size of the gold leaf at all, and happily put it in his purse.
Tang Xiaojing casually threw the wooden board in his hand out of the big cave outside, and then ran to the small wooden frame.
"These things are of no use anymore. Why not dismantle them all? Maybe you can find some missing little things."
"Okay, sir, you have a good idea." Ye Qingqing rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a big fight.
The things on the wooden shelf had long been cleaned up when the father and son were hunting for treasure. Now they were bare and there was nothing.
Just as they were told, the two of them started working towards the three-story small shelf in front of them with great interest.
The wooden boards of the shelves had long since rotted away and were riddled with holes and moths.
Tang Xiaojing kicked it over and the whole shelf collapsed, raising a lot of dust.
"Bah bah bah..."
"Cough cough cough..."
The two of them suddenly became unkempt, and their eyebrows and hair were covered with gray-white powder.
The two of them didn't show any pretense, they just patted the wood twice and started cleaning up the wooden boards on the ground.
There were originally a lot of medicinal herbs on this small shelf. Although they had been cleared out a few years ago, they still smell a faint medicinal fragrance.
Smelling the fragrance of the herbs, Tang Xiaojing thought sadly of the herbs eaten by insects.
"This shelf originally contained a lot of precious medicinal materials that were in very good condition. Unfortunately, they were left there for too long and all of them were broken."
"I used to think that the person living here was a person who made a living by collecting herbs. But there are exquisite gold leaves on his hands. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. I don't know who he is."
In fact, in the past few years, the father and son have also quietly inquired in several nearby villages.
But in recent decades, there have been no particularly powerful doctors or people who know herbal medicine in nearby villages.
And Dr. Li in the village is just an ordinary doctor, and he doesn't know how to prepare many herbal medicines.
Moreover, the Li family has lived in Taohua Village for generations, so there is no need to build such a cave.
This cave and the people who built it are like a mystery. The father and son dare not tell others about the existence of the cave for fear of causing trouble.
"I think he must be a reclusive master, but I don't know where that person has gone."
Judging from the two pieces of clothing in the wooden box, the original owner should be a middle-aged man.
In addition, the things here are so badly decayed, it is estimated that the person left there about 20 years ago.
Ye Qingqing calculated that man's age, and he should be gone now.
After cleaning up the small shelf, the two found nothing but dust.
The rickety small table in the center didn't look like it could hide anything, so the two decided to dismantle the small bed in the corner first.
As soon as the young couple walked to the edge of the small bed, two little mice suddenly jumped out from under the bed, and one even ran past Ye Qingqing's feet.
"Ah ah ah... there is a mouse."
Ye Qingqing was not only afraid of snakes, but also mice. She immediately ran to hide behind Tang Xiaojing.
At this time, Da Huang and Xiao Huang immediately chased after them, and the two mice were driven around in the cave. The scene was quite chaotic for a while.
In the end, Rhubarb and Xiaohuang, who often went to the mountains to hunt, were more powerful. After a while, they came over with a bloody mountain rat in their mouths to ask for credit from Ye Qingqing.
The two little mice were bitten beyond recognition. Ye Qingqing looked a little disgusted and asked Da Huang and Xiao Huang to quickly take the two mountain mice outside and throw them away.
Dahuang saw that Ye Qingqing didn't want his mouse, so he ate the mouse alive in a few seconds.
Before he could stop him, Xiao Huang also ate another mountain rat.
The two mountain rats were not big enough to fit between the teeth of two dogs.
After eating everything, Ye Qingqing didn't say much. Anyway, the two dogs went to the mountains to hunt every day, and they also ate the small animals on the mountains.
