The kitchen of this old house was quite shabby.
The stove had not been used for a long time. It was covered in dust, and the walls were full of smoke and fire marks.
The floor under Yue Heng's feet was paved with green bricks.
The gaps were filled with grease and dirt.
Who would have thought that there was a treasure buried underneath?!
Yue Heng also recalled the news report he had seen in his first life, so he paid a high price to rent this house.
The landlord thought that he had cheated Yue Heng.
Little did he know that Yue Heng was the one who had taken advantage of the situation!
He would not feel guilty about it.
After some effort, Yue Heng used the military shovel given by the owner of the Taobao shop to pry up part of the green bricks.
Then he began to dig.
The excavated soil was piled to the side to be backfilled.
Yue Heng dug down about half a meter, and suddenly the tip of the shovel felt a strange touch.
He hurriedly pulled up the soil.
A dark brown wooden box gradually revealed itself.
That's right!
Yue Heng was a little excited.
In Yue Heng's first life, this box should have been discovered about two years later.
At that time, the county's front street had been completely demolished.
During the construction process, the construction team dug down with an excavator.
They dug out the treasure box!
There were many construction workers and onlookers at the scene.
In the end, it caused a big disturbance.
They almost killed someone!
If Yue Heng remembered correctly, this person should be the landlord from yesterday.
He was now doing good deeds for the landlord by clearing the mine for free.
Of course, he did good deeds without leaving his name.
Yue Heng did not need the landlord to thank him.
Seeing that the soil was almost cleared, he bent down and lifted the box.
It was very heavy!
Although he did not know how long it had been buried in the soil, this treasure box was still intact.
Its surface was inlaid with copper plates and carved patterns.
It looked very exquisite.
There was a rusty copper lock hanging on the box.
Yue Heng definitely did not have the key, so he directly used brute force to break it.
When he opened the lid, the items stored inside were immediately revealed.
The first thing that came into Yue Heng's eyes was …
It was half filled with silver coins and gold bars!
Dozens of small yellow croakers were neatly stacked on top of the silver coins, shining with an alluring luster under the light.
This kind of gold bar belonged to the standard of the Republic of China. At that time, rich families would save a few gold bars at the bottom of their chests. When faced with a crisis, it was a life-saving item.
Each one weighed one or two grams, which was equivalent to 31.25 grams.
According to the current gold price, a small yellow croaker was worth about 12000 yuan.
It was Yue Heng's rent!
The gold alone was worth hundreds of thousands, and there were also hundreds of silver coins of good quality below.
However, Yue Heng glanced at the gold bars and silver dollars.
He didn't pay much attention to it.
His attention was completely focused on the porcelain bottle that occupied the other half of the treasure chest.
It was a blue and white porcelain vase.
Yue Heng took out his phone and took a picture. Then, he searched for the picture on the Internet.
The image in the first search result was almost identical to this blue and white porcelain vase.
Ming Yongle, blue and white porcelain vase with lotus patterns!
The Jade Vase in the picture was a collection of the Palace Museum.
This vase had a beautiful shape, bright hair color, and a glossy glaze. It was a typical porcelain vase.
It had a great impact on the production of porcelain in the future.
In 2017, at a Christie's auction in Hong Kong, the same Jade Vase was auctioned for 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars!
This matched Yue Heng's memory.
In his first life, the treasure chest was excavated by an excavator, and the Jade Vase was broken on the spot.
At that time, no one knew its value. Everyone was dazzled by the gold bars and silver coins that fell out.
Everyone fought for it!
Then, the landlord heard the news and rushed over.
Later, after an appraisal by an antique expert, it was confirmed that the broken vase was the same as the one in the Palace Museum.
The landlord almost went crazy and sued the construction company.
Her ancestors were rich businessmen in Taijiang.
This house belonged to her ancestors, so what was buried in it must be a treasure left by her ancestors.
What happened next was even more ridiculous.
The landlord and two brothers rushed back immediately after knowing the situation.
They sued her and wanted to get a share of the loot.
They made a mess.
As for the final result, Yue Heng did not know.
He was like countless people who saw the news.
They all felt a deep heartache about the destruction of this Jade Vase worth tens of millions.
How good would it be to give it to me?
If I had known, I would have secretly dug it out!
Now, Yue Heng had finally made up for the regret of that year!
Yue Heng smiled slightly.
He covered the box and filled in all the soil that was dug out.
Then, he filled in some useless trash and debris from the house.
Finally, he paved the floor again.
After he stepped on it and flattened it, although some traces could still be seen.
But in a few months, there should be no problem.
That landlord was not a reborn person.
She would not have thought that there would be a treasure chest buried under her dilapidated house.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. In order to avoid possible trouble, Yue Heng did not feel that it was a waste of his time to spend more effort.
That night, Yue Heng put the treasure chest into a big bag and transported it back to his house.
To prevent any accidents from happening.
Without alerting anyone, this wealth completely belonged to him.
However, Yue Heng did not plan to sell it immediately.
He had just turned sixteen and was still a third-year middle school student.
It was a bit eye-catching to sell gold bars and silver coins, not to mention the astonishing value of the antiques.
In addition, the channel to sell it was also a problem.
He had to think about it at length.
For Yue Heng, the most important thing was not to earn money to buy the equipment.
In a month, he would be taking the high school entrance exam!
The high school entrance exam was very important.
If he failed the college entrance exam, he could retake it, but if he failed the high school entrance exam, he would not have the chance to retake it.
Yue Heng did not want to waste a few years of his life in a trashy high school like he did in his first life.
He already had a preliminary plan for his life in the next ten years!
Yue Heng's goal for the high school entrance exam was Taijiang No.1 or No.2 High School.
The problem was that Taijiang No.1 and No.2 High School were provincial key schools, and the score requirements were very high.
With his current results, even if he added a few more points, he would not be able to reach them.
Yue Heng did not have much time left.
The difficulty was not ordinary high.
Therefore, after obtaining the treasure chest, Yue Heng hid it in the basement of his house.
He did not care about it anymore.
He continued to immerse himself in reviewing and doing questions day after day.
As a result, Yue Heng discovered during his studies.
His memory was actually getting better and better.
Especially at the end of the month, he actually had the ability to remember everything he saw.
No matter which course book it was, Yue Heng only needed to read it once to be able to recite it word for word. Even the punctuation was not wrong!
This ability was definitely a good tool for studying and taking exams.
Known as the strongest Taijiang No.1.
Suddenly, it was no longer unattainable to him!
