Chapter 2071: Chapter 2069: Intertwined Time and Space, Transformed Lives (17)
He quickly finished the rice in the bowl, then put down the chopsticks and bowl, stood up, and walked towards the gate without looking back.
At this time, Gu Qiaoqiao had already buried that gold nugget under the cherry tree. The time was rushed, so it couldn’t be buried too deep, just a few dozen centimeters, but unexpectedly, this little cousin came out at this time, giving her an opportunity.
So, just as Lian Chen was about to push the door open, suddenly there was an extra piece of paper in his hand, which startled him. He glanced around, his heart fluttering wildly.
Although it’s said that one shouldn’t speak of strange powers and gods, having something suddenly appear in one’s hand in broad daylight is indeed quite frightening.
So Lian Chen was startled as if it were burning hot, and hastily threw the paper away.
And at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao cast the Good Luck Talisman on him, and then three streams of light also fell on the three members of the household, which were a bit of Spiritual Energy from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingertips.
With the Good Luck Talisman and Spiritual Energy in place, unexpectedly, Lian Chen’s frantic heart suddenly calmed slightly, and he felt an unprecedented comfort, as if he were basked in warm sunshine.
He looked up at the sky, but there was clearly no sunlight.
These days, everyone was rushing to harvest the crops in the fields because of the bad weather. It looked like a fall rain was coming, which would greatly reduce the yield, so they needed to harvest the grain in advance.
He and his father worked tirelessly day and night, already exhausted, yet at this moment all fatigue seemed to disappear without a trace.
The restless heart also settled down peacefully.
He looked again at the piece of paper lying a meter away.
For some reason, he inexplicably squatted down and picked up the paper...
On it were a few crooked lines:
[Lian Family’s descendants, a gold nugget is buried under the cherry tree, which can solve urgent needs.
Lian Family Ancestor.]
At this moment, Lian Chen’s calm heart once again began to race with joy. Young people are easily convinced, and at this eighteen-year-old age, his thoughts were inherently simple, without time for thoughts of conspiracy, traps, or tricks.
Immediately, he quickly put the paper into his pocket, then turned around and spotted the shovel placed under the wall. Soon he ran towards the cherry tree.
In the house, the Lian Family’s uncle was no longer arguing, but silently listening to the aunt’s rambling, while in the yard, Lian Chen nervously and expectantly swung the shovel.
As accustomed to farm work, he naturally knew how to control his strength, and with the addition of a Good Luck Talisman, the place he dug was exactly where Gu Qiaoqiao had buried the gold nugget.
It was just a matter of seconds before he suddenly felt something amiss, and then noticed a golden color emerging from the dark soil.
Excitedly, Lian Chen tossed the shovel aside and began to dig with his hands.
Then, a gold nugget larger than his fist was unearthed, weighing approximately three pounds.
Lian Chen had never seen gold, much less a gold nugget. But this golden hue, what could it be if not gold?
There were always legends saying someone stumbled and found a piece of Dog Head Gold. Could this be the Dog Head Gold?
It probably is.
It’s said there used to be gold mines here, but they were later exhausted by others. Could it be that their Gu Family’s ancestors feared their descendants would live difficult lives, so they buried this gold nugget under a tree?
But that doesn’t make sense.
How many years has this gold nugget been buried here?
They weren’t here from generation to generation.
Lian Chen had a chaotic mind, feeling a bit confused.
Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao had silently retrieved the paper slip from his pocket. Even though Lian Chen was ecstatic, with a confused mind, he remained unexpectedly calm, carefully wiping off the dirt on the gold nugget with his sleeve and quickly looking around. This little cousin was indeed cautious, then he quickly headed towards the house.
Upon entering the house, he tightly closed the door and the windows.
Lian Family’s uncle and aunt looked bewildered at their son.
Then Lian Chen took the large gold nugget out of his pocket and placed it on the dining table. The aunt, whose eyes were red from crying, widened her eyes with a gleam, and the uncle’s murky eyes sparkled.
One must say that sometimes the first intuition is very sharp.
"Gold, this is gold!"
They spoke in unison.
At this moment, Lian Chen remembered the paper in his pocket. As he reached for it, he searched the pockets of his clothes but couldn’t find it, puzzled and frowning, but didn’t have time to think further.
He swiftly recounted what had happened to his parents, then saw the Lian Family’s uncle suddenly kneeling on the kang, facing east, and started kowtowing while crying, "Thank you for the ancestral spirit, thank you mother."
It must be his deceased mother blessing him.
So it was decided, they accepted the sudden appearance of the gold nugget.
They didn’t know the current price of gold, but they knew this one gold nugget would free them from their poverty.
However, they also knew better not to reveal wealth, so father and son started whispering together, and Gu Qiaoqiao nodded secretly.
Their plan was quite decent, and then Gu Qiaoqiao again gave both the aunt and uncle a Good Luck Talisman. This way, when the uncle and cousin traveled to the provincial city to sell the gold nugget, it would go smoothly.
It’s already 1998 now; there are many places in the provincial city to buy and sell gold.
According to current gold prices, this gold nugget could fetch them over ten thousand yuan.
This way, their lives would improve.
However, unfortunately, the uncle’s leg couldn’t be cured despite her Spiritual Energy, but the enhancement of Spiritual Energy would reduce much of his pain in the future.
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly watched the ecstatic family of three, finally a smile appeared on her lips but quickly faded as she felt very exhausted, unable to continue watching them, even though she really wanted to see what Qin Yize was doing now.
Now, Qin Yize had the Protective Buddha Amulet carved by her, had the extra boost of her good fortune, and was surrounded by Spiritual Energy, making his life smoother than the previous trajectory.
Moreover, his friends were everywhere in the world, always helping him out, this point Gu Qiaoqiao was assured, then Gu Qiaoqiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and withdrew her Spiritual Energy.
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao finally felt a bit hungry, as it had been twenty-some hours since she last ate.
But even though she was hungry, she just simply cooked herself some noodles, ate it simply, and then started pondering how to find Qin Xiaoyu.
