Chapter 76 The Box Belongs to Them

The old man and the little man were digging the ground frantically...

Can the word “truth” represent the truth?

Seeing that the old man was on the verge of going berserk, Gu Xixian had no choice but to speak and give further explanation in a low voice.

"So, the old ancestor thought that we were not worthy of being his normal descendants, and looked down on us weaklings, so he gave us a great mission, toiling our muscles and bones, starving our bodies, depriving us of our lives, and making us do things that were against our will. So the inhuman lives that we have endured in these generations are just to make us be moved and patient, and to benefit ourselves? Is that what you mean?" The old man felt like he had been hit hard by his ancestors for thousands of times. How perverted must a person be to come up with a "cultivation" method for his own descendants? This full of malice and disgust overflowed from the ancestral grave. They were his mortal enemies in their previous lives, right?

Gu Xihao and Gu Xixian, brother and sister, put their fists to their lips and coughed softly. Isn't it obvious? Is there any need to respond?

"Hehe..." The old man laughed for a long time, but couldn't say anything. The others were attracted by the sound, and then they were surprised to find that the box had been opened. Gu Laoer was about to praise someone for being smart, but he was pulled by his wife and stumbled.

He looked in the direction of his wife's eyes and saw his father's face, which was darker than black stone. He asked softly, "What's wrong with the old man? It seems that Dad's temper is getting worse with age."

He thought his voice was very soft, but his father glared at him, and he felt his heart stop for a few seconds. Well, the old man's ears are still as sharp as ever. Gu Laoer immediately entered the quail state to protect himself.

The room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Look, look, they are all a bunch of useless trash. The old man automatically entered the state of being possessed by his ancestors, and gave a thorough and disgusting summary of his own group of people. As he thought about it, his anger calmed down, and he could understand the actions of his ancestors.

"Xian, tell me what the ancestors want us to do next." This was a flash of inspiration that occurred to him. Now that the ancestors had revealed the truth, it meant that a turning point had occurred here, and someone in his family had been recognized by the ancestors. Who was it? The answer had already appeared.

He looked at Gu Xihao and his sister with great kindness, his eyes were so gentle that tears could be squeezed out of them.

"Grandpa, don't look at my brother and me like that. We are scared." Gu Xixian felt his hairs standing on end, and Gu Xihao nodded in agreement.

Old man...I gave you face, right?

Haha, I really gave them face.

He smiled more and more kindly: "Hao, Xian, this box belongs to you now. The things our ancestors told us to do are also yours. Grandpa is old, and your father and the others... well, they are also old. It's time for them to enjoy their retirement. As for your other brothers and sisters... they just need to live a rich and luxurious life. They don't have the ability to handle such a big thing. It's just you two. You are still young and have a lot to do. This matter is now yours. Hahaha..."

The old man thought he was very smart, so he decided not to interfere in the matter. It didn't matter whether it was good or bad.

Gu Xihao... Old man, is it okay for you to shirk responsibility like this?

Gu Xixian...the old man is really cowardly, they are all still underage children.

As for the others...well, whatever you say is what it is, as long as you are happy. I have disliked them since I was a child anyway.

I have to say, genes are really powerful. The old man's disdain is inherited from his ancestors.

Now that the old man had spoken, this box had nothing to do with them anymore. Then everyone turned around and continued with the previous topic about Beijing. Curiosity killed the cat; that never happened in their family.

The two siblings were stunned. Forget it, just let it be. They couldn't rely on anyone else, so they went home with their suitcases. They should study it and write down the specific plans when they have the time.

The two of them bumped into Yan Zhijin who was coming back from a stroll. They stared at each other and talked for a while.

"Nephew, have you opened the box? What's inside? Tell your uncle about it." Yan Zhijin was really curious. After hundreds of years of inheritance, this must be a very rare treasure.

Gu Xihao looked at him blankly: "Uncle, you are a bit shameless. This is the secret of my Gu family. Do you think you are suitable to listen to it?"

Yan Zhijin laughed: "Oh, I'm old now, there's nothing I can do, I forgot, nephew, please forgive me."

Gu Xixian rolled his eyes secretly and couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that the Yan family survives in the world by being shameless?

She tried hard to blink her eyes, rubbed her face with her hands, raised the corners of her lips, and said obediently: "Uncle Yan, if you have anything, please ask my grandfather. My brother and I are still children and can't make the decision."

Yan Zhijin, I don't believe you, but the smile on his face didn't fall off, and he reached out and flicked her bun: "Well, uncle knows."

Then he glanced at the box in Gu Xigeng's arms and said, "Nephew, this box is quite heavy. How about letting me hold it for you?"

The big bad wolf's ambition is obvious, and anyone with eyes can see it. Gu Xihao is even more speechless: "Thank you, Uncle Yan, this weight is no problem for me."

After saying that, he took his sister and left quickly. He was a little afraid that Yan Zhijin, who was so shameless, would have some bad thoughts about his sister. Although he thought that he might be overthinking, it was good to take precautions before it happens.

Yan Zhijin was a little surprised. Why did the last glance from the kid seem a little strange? It was just a fleeting feeling. Could it be his illusion? Gentle, amiable, his character was pretty good.

Back in his study at home, Gu Xihao put the box on the table and opened the lid again.

"Brother, I think there's something wrong with this box." Gu Xixian tilted his head and stared at the box, always feeling that there was something strange.

Gu Xihao also felt something strange, so he began to carefully touch the box from inside to outside, and gestured with his fingers from time to time. Left and right, inside and outside, inside, outside, inside... He slapped the table and said, "Sister, I know what's wrong."

He pulled Gu Xixian to the table and said, "Come, measure the height inside with your hand and see if there is any difference from the outside."

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and Gu Xixian smiled. So that's how it is...

"Brother, it seems that this ancestor is quite interesting." She said as she took out the letter and wooden plaque and put them on the table: "Brother, give me a bookmark."

Gu Xihao took out a thin bamboo bookmark from the pen holder and handed it to her.

Gu Xixian inserted the bookmark into the gap at the bottom of the box, and then slowly lifted it up. The bottom covered with red silk was picked open, and a row of golden lights almost blinded the brother and sister.

The small gold bars were neatly stacked in three layers, and... nothing else.

"Brother, our ancestor was also a vulgar man." Gu Xixian concluded, otherwise he would not love gold so much. You should at least get some imperial green or something like that, which would be a priceless treasure.

Gu Xihao... I don't know what kind of person my ancestor is. I only know that the box is so heavy because it contains gold. "Should I tell grandpa about these things?"

"Brother, people are not worried about having too little but having unequal distribution. I think since this box has been handed over to us, we should shoulder the responsibilities and property in the box." Gu Xixian felt that he was very generous to the Gu family in terms of material things. No matter which business it was, each family had a share. Although there were three piles of gold, it was not a huge fortune. If what the ancestor said in the letter was true, then there were many places to spend money, and these were just a drop in the bucket.

"Okay, then I won't tell you." Gu Xihao quickly figured out the whole thing and immediately agreed with his sister's decision.
