The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 616 Treasure Hunting in a Small House (3)

Ye Xilin saw that everyone was only talking about the business of the two shops and ignored him. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and had to go to another wing by himself.

In fact, this wing room has the same layout and size as the previous room, but it is missing a dressing table.

There was no chaos inside the house. The four people who just came here must have just arrived before they had time to search.

"What does it smell like? It stinks." Ye Xilin smelled a strange smell as soon as he came in, and the smell was quite strong.

Ye Xilin walked quickly to the window. He was about to open the window, but then he thought about hunting for treasure, so he opened the window. What if someone saw him?

Ye Xilin put down his hand that was raised in the air, walked back to the door silently, and then started searching from the wooden door next to the door.

Ye Xilin carefully checked every crack in the wooden door, and finally patted it hard a few times, but found nothing.

Ye Xilin's sharp eyes saw that there seemed to be something under the hinge of the wooden door, so he quickly reached in and touched it.

Then two copper plates were found.

Ye Xilin didn't dislike it and picked it up happily.

"Two pennies is better than nothing. These servants probably don't have much money on hand."

No one would sell themselves to the servants unless they were forced to do so. Ye Xilin was soft-hearted and quite sympathized with these servants.

After putting away the coins, Ye Xilin came to a small, semi-old wardrobe.

As soon as he opened the closet, Ye Xilin immediately pinched his nose.

"It stinks!"

The place where men live is not as clean and tidy as the place where women live.

There were actually a few pairs of smelly socks and two pieces of dirty clothes hidden in the far corner of the closet.

The smell of smelly socks mixed with unwashed clothes is quite strong.

Ye Xilin frowned and quickly went outside to pick up a branch. He picked out the dirty socks and clothes and threw them outside.

But before throwing it away, Ye Xilin deliberately shook it a few times. He couldn't find the thing and almost fainted from the smoke.

Ye Xilin pinched his nose and couldn't help but cursed: "These are stinky socks and dirty clothes that haven't been washed for many days. The smell is stronger than the smell of a pig pen."

Ye Xilin is diligent and worried about the sows at home getting sick, so he washes the pig pen every two or three days.

To be honest, the Ye family's pig pen is quite clean and doesn't smell too bad. It's at least cleaner than this house.

After returning to the house, Ye Xilin pinched his nose and continued to rummage in the closet.

The smell was so strong that Ye Xilin disliked it very much. He only looked for it casually and walked away quickly.

"It's so smelly, I guess I don't have time to hide things here."

Ye Xilin walked very fast with his long legs, and arrived at the small bed beside him in three or five steps.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, he smelled a familiar smell again. Ye Xilin looked down and saw that there were smelly socks under the bed.

Several pairs of stinky socks that were yellow and hard were thrown at the end of the bed. Ye Xilin endured nausea and quickly threw all the stinky socks outside.

"Bah, bah, bah, who is so disgusting and doesn't wash his socks? Let me know who it is and I will give him a good beating."

Ye Xilin loves cleanliness and dislikes the "fragrant" and "refreshing" bed.

Seeing that the crib was not big, I simply pulled the crib out to another clean place in the house.

Ye Xilin didn't want to touch the floor under the small bed with his hands, so he just knocked on the ground with the tree trunk.

Unexpectedly, I found a loose stone slab where the smelly socks were originally.

Ye Xilin pinched his nose and said with disgust: "Good guy, it's not easy for you to hide things, brother."

Ye Xilin used a branch to pry up the stone slab. He was too lazy to go back to the next room to get a hoe, so he just dug in the ground with the branch.

Fortunately, the things were not buried deep, and Ye Xilin quickly dug up a small black clay pot.

In the past two days, Ye Xilin found too many empty hidden compartments and empty clay pots. At this time, he was already numb and had no hope.

Ye Xilin slowly opened the small clay pot. Unexpectedly, after opening the pot, there were several large pieces of broken silver and half a pot of copper plates inside.

Ye Xilin excitedly picked up the heavy clay pot and poured the contents onto the small table.

There is one piece of broken silver worth two taels and three pieces of broken silver worth one tael. The total of the broken pieces of silver alone is five taels of silver.

Looking at the silver in his hand, Ye Xilin was so happy that he couldn't help humming a cheerful ditty.

There was a small pile of copper coins left, and Ye Xilin counted them for a long time. There were 273 coins in total.

"Hahaha, today's harvest is really good. Including the two cents found at the door, the total is 5 taels and 275 cents."

However, Ye Xilin felt a little strange, "The hidden compartments or the pots hidden in the ground that were found before were all taken away. Why didn't this man take away the money that he finally hid?"

Ye Xilin was suddenly startled, "Is he already dead? Or was he resold?"

The women in the village often spread gossip about these wealthy people, saying that these rich people are very stingy and often defraud and abuse their servants.

But Ye Xilin didn't think too much about it. He couldn't control this matter anyway. It would be better to have one less thing to do than to do more. It would be better to concentrate on treasure hunting.

Ye Xilin then rummaged through the small bed that he had just moved, but found nothing except the lingering stench at the foot of the bed.

Ye Xilin suddenly thought that the small clay pot hiding the silver was hidden under the smelly socks, and there were also smelly socks in the closet just now.

"Is there a treasure hidden in the closet?"

Ye Xilin had no choice but to go back to the smelly little closet and continue rummaging.

Ye Xilin was so dizzy from the smoke that he couldn't help but cursed:

"Who has something wrong with his mind? He hides his money under his smelly socks. He is really sick."

Originally, Ye Xilin was going to check the table not far away, but after thinking about it, he moved the small wardrobe away.

Sure enough, another shabby purse was dug out from the stone slab under the smelly socks.

Ye Xilin picked up the purse and found that it was quite heavy. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, showing his neat white teeth.

Ye Xilin couldn't wait to open the purse, and was surprised to find that there was a 5-tael silver ingot inside.

After taking out the silver ingot, Ye Xilin found two more golden beans in the corner of his purse.

"There is actually a golden bean. It seems that this brother is quite rich."

Ye Xilin took out the golden beans from his purse and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"These two golden beans together should weigh about one penny, about one tael of silver."

"Good fellow, the things I found in this house alone are worth more than ten taels of silver."

Ye Xilin originally thought that people nowadays probably don't have much money, but he didn't expect that there are a lot of good things.

In addition, the small bed and wardrobe are cleaner and tidier, but there is nothing.

Ye Xilin became more and more certain that something had happened to the owner of the dirty socks, otherwise it would have been impossible for the money not to be taken away.

Ye Xilin just gossiped and didn't like to meddle in other people's business. He put the silver and golden beans away and continued to hunt for treasure happily.

There is a small round table in the center of the room. The table is not big and the wood used is quite thin.

Ye Xilin thought that there would be no place to hide anything, but unexpectedly he found a relatively secret hole under the table.

Ye Xilin put his hand in and touched it, but unfortunately he only touched a hand of ashes.

After turning the house upside down, Ye Xilin hugged the money with a smile on his face and ran next door to find Mrs. Ye.

"Hahaha! Everyone, look at what good stuff I found."
