Acai's Sky

Chapter 667: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

Then, Tong Xin slowly turned around, with a serious look on his face, and asked Qiu Changhai, the majestic commander:

"So, Commander Qiu, have you formulated a specific plan and arrangement for how to safely and securely transport those mysterious boxes from here? We might as well go there together later and inspect the specific condition of those boxes with our own eyes."

Hearing Master Tong's question, Qiu Changhai quickly stood up, stood straight, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Tong Xin.

Then he replied loudly, "Master Tong, I have made careful plans and arrangements. This time, we have dispatched a total of two thousand men. According to my estimation, this number should be enough to transport all the boxes at once."

Ah Cai focused her attention and used her powerful mental power once again to explore the mysterious secret room in depth.

After a meticulous search and analysis, she became more and more convinced that this secret room must have a secret passage connecting to the outside world.

After all, if there was no such passage, how could so many boxes be transported in?

With this question in mind, Acai began to check every corner of the secret room more carefully.

Finally, her hard work paid off and she found a rather unusual place - it seemed to have been the entrance to a passage, but now it has been filled tightly with earth, rocks and other materials, leaving no gaps.

Ah Cai was delighted and immediately contacted his pet raccoon dog through his mind and gave it a clear instruction: dig out the blocked passage again.

After receiving the order from his master, the little raccoon dog acted without hesitation and said that he would complete the task as soon as possible.

...

At the same time, on the other side, everyone in the Tong family was sitting together, passing around the shocking letter.

When they read the contents of the letter carefully, they were all shocked, especially the young grandchildren, whose eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

It turned out that this letter revealed an astonishing secret: in the basement of their Tong family's old house, there was a major case involving the previous dynasty hidden, and the treasures buried there were worth more than one million taels of gold!

Tong Jinnian and Tong Jinyan tiptoed, walked lightly, and came stealthily behind Acai.

They just looked at each other, and at the same time stretched out their fingers and carefully poked Acai's slender back.

Then, the two of them leaned forward, lowered their voices, and asked curiously, "Sister Yao'er, have you ever been down there before? I heard that you can sleep on top of mountains of treasure every night. What would it feel like?"

Hearing the question, Ah Cai slowly turned her head, her beautiful eyes curved into two crescents, and she also lowered her voice and responded gently:

"At first, I had no idea there was such a place down there, so naturally, I didn't feel anything special about it.

But later, my newly bought puppy accidentally dug out the entrance to the secret room, and I discovered that there was such a large amount of treasure hidden there.

Then, I was moved to the courtyard next door, so now I don’t feel anything at all.”

After listening to Ah Cai's story, Tong Jinyan couldn't help but give her a big thumbs up and praised her sincerely: "It's a good thing you didn't go down. As the saying goes, less trouble is worse than more! The water here is deep."

Tong Jinnian nodded hurriedly to show his agreement, and added in a low voice, "I have carefully studied the county annals here. This kind of thing was the fuse that led to the fall of the previous dynasty!"

At this moment, Tong Jinyan quickly interrupted, "That's right. If it weren't for the foreigners getting angry and provoking a war, prompting a change of dynasty here, there would be countless people looking for this treasure!"

Ah Cai bared her teeth and muttered in confusion, "What the hell? These treasures could actually be the trigger for a change of dynasty? It's unbelievable!"

Tong Jinyan, who was standing by, winked at Ah Cai cheerfully and said with a smile, "According to the original plan, we have to wait until next year to pass the imperial examination before we can have the chance to return home and worship our ancestors."

Tong Jinnian quickly nodded in agreement. "That's right! Thanks to the emperor's special permission, we can return early to pay our respects to our ancestors. What's even more surprising is that my sister has renovated our ancestral hall. Now we can return home with a legitimate reason!"

After hearing this, Ah Cai's beautiful eyes curved into crescents and she smiled happily, "Yes, tomorrow is the auspicious time. We can ask the clan leader to read the eulogy. Just thinking about it makes me feel so lively, hehe..."

At this moment, the old man of the Tong family suddenly called out to Ah Cai: "Yao'er, come here quickly."

Upon hearing the voice, Ah Cai walked quickly to the old man's side, only to see the old man looking up and down at the well-behaved and clever girl in front of him.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Alas, your father, he is such an unreliable man. Although there are still people looking after him in the old house, the affairs of the inner house are complicated and trivial, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. Fortunately, my daughter Yao'er is here, taking care of everything, so there will not be any big trouble. My daughter Yao'er has really worked hard."

After saying that, he glared at Mr. Tong Sanye Tong Yan.

Tong Yan shrank his neck and sipped his tea, not taking it to heart at all. He had already handed over all the household chores to his daughter, and it was her decision. Wasn't this acceptable?

Ah Cai quickly shook her head gently, thinking to herself, "Grandfather, please don't say that. They're actually being unfair to the old me. But now that I'm here, it's natural for me to take charge and manage all household affairs. I don't feel like I'm being unfairly treated."

The old man smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction as he looked at his clever little granddaughter, and asked softly, "

I heard that our ancestral hall has been renovated to perfection! Not only that, they even added two extra layers of grain bricks for our family members to use in times of famine. What a brilliant idea! Tell me, Grandpa, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making these grain bricks?

Ah Cai secretly complained in her heart. She couldn't tell the old man bluntly that a serious famine would break out in five years, so she prepared these foods in advance for emergency use.

After all, that damn system expressly forbids her from taking direct measures to eliminate this famine disaster. It seems that she can only find a way to deal with it step by step.
