Chapter 951 Getting Back the Borrowed Money
Jiang Wenming and the others in the space saw that the water tanks that were originally full of kerosene suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The group exchanged glances, realizing that Xiaoyun must have given away all the kerosene.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Tian originally thought that the kerosene in the ditch was gone, and that they could stand safely on the ground.
Xiao Tian looked at the smallest stone brick, which was now quite far away from him, sighed helplessly, and then pulled out a ladder from his spatial storage.
He climbed the ladder and stood on it, continuing to chisel at the cracks in the stone with his tools.
It's loosened!
After a long while, Xiaotian suddenly shouted excitedly. He pushed the small stone hard and found that it had begun to loosen.
Upon hearing Xiaotian's voice, Jiang Jiyun, who had been resting in the wooden tub, finally stood up.
She felt disgusted by the ground that had been soaked in kerosene for hundreds of years, so she preferred to stay in the wooden tub rather than step directly on the ground.
However, when she saw Oda struggling to remove the stone, she couldn't resist going closer to take a look.
Just as Xiao Tian was about to lean forward to check what was behind the rock, Jiang Jiyun quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't go in. What if there's poisonous gas? I'll catch a sparrow from my space, tie it with a rope, and put it in to take a look."
As she spoke, a live sparrow suddenly appeared in her hand. The sparrow fluttered its wings in her hand, trying to break free of its restraints. She used a thin rope to tightly bind the sparrow's legs.
She actually caught the sparrow with Erlong and the others when they were at the base.
Back then, the children caught sparrows together. They caught so many that they couldn't finish roasting and eating them. She secretly put the remaining live sparrows into her own space.
Unexpectedly, these sparrows made their home in her grove of trees and became residents there.
Xiao Tian quickly climbed down the ladder, took the sparrow, then climbed back up the ladder and stuffed the sparrow into the small hole.
After entering the cave, the sparrow fluttered its wings a few times, seemingly unaccustomed to the new environment, but quickly quieted down.
Xiao Tian nodded in satisfaction, then shouted to Jiang Jiyun standing below, "There's no problem inside. There's neither poison nor anyone in there."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun took out a ladder from his spatial storage, climbed up it, and put the sparrow away.
Working together, the two of them finally managed to create a larger opening in the small hole.
Jiang Jiyun felt he could climb in, so he carefully extended the flashlight into the hole to investigate.
Just as her head approached the cave entrance, a skull appeared out of nowhere and hung swaying precariously at the entrance.
The sudden fright caught Jiang Jiyun off guard. She slipped, lost her balance, and rolled down the ladder like a ball.
Xiao Tian jolted awake, reacted swiftly, hanging upside down on the ladder and grabbing Jiang Jiyun, who was still in shock.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death! I just stood face to face with a skull!" Jiang Jiyun wasn't afraid of skulls, it was just too sudden, and she was startled for a moment.
Xiao Tian put her back on the ladder, and Jiang Jiyun climbed up again, stirring the hole with a stick. They heard a rustling sound inside.
Upon hearing the voice, Oda asked, "Is this place full of skeletons?"
Jiang Jiyun climbed straight in and saw the bones scattered all over the ground. He said, "This should be a burial chamber for the dead. That's why the Japanese didn't occupy this place."
Xiao Tian rummaged around for a while longer before the opening widened. After crawling in, he believed Jiang Jiyun's words: if they didn't step on the corpses, they wouldn't have anywhere to stand.
Jiang Jiyun saw Xiao Tian easily push open the tomb door. The two walked out and saw a large tomb chamber, which was the same as the previous tomb chamber.
"How many people will die from this!" Xiao Tian was a little horrified.
Jiang Jiyun looked up at the ceiling and said, "The Japanese haven't discovered this floor yet, have they?"
Oda took the gun and ran to check the surroundings, saying, "There's definitely no one here."
Jiang Jiyun looked around and said, "Brother Xiaotian, let's all go and see if there's a way up or a mechanism."
Hu Dahe and Sun Jiaguo were also pulled out by her, and the four of them split up to search for an exit.
Sun Jiaguo also warned everyone to be careful of the traps, saying that if the Japanese hadn't discovered the tomb chamber below, then the traps here definitely hadn't been activated yet.
"Wow! There are so many treasures here!" Hu Dahe exclaimed excitedly.
He had just pushed open a tomb door with force. Behind the door were not only several corpses, but also a dazzling array of treasures, which shimmered alluringly in the light of his flashlight.
Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Tian also came out of the tomb they had been inspecting at this time.
The tomb chambers were filled with all sorts of bottles and jars, emitting a foul odor that made one want to vomit.
The two quickly closed the tomb door again, and then they saw Hu Dahe come out of another tomb chamber, beckoning to them and signaling them to come over.
"Come quick! There are lots of treasures inside!" Hu Dahe's voice revealed barely suppressed excitement.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun immediately rushed over, while Xiao Tian followed leisurely behind.
When Jiang Jiyun rushed into the tomb and saw the piles of gold and countless jewels, her eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Wow! We're rich!" Jiang Jiyun screamed excitedly.
Oda walked over and reminded her with a serious expression, "These all belong to the country!"
Jiang Jiyun's smile froze on her face instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on her in June.
She looked longingly at the huge pile of tempting treasures, her heart filled with disappointment.
So she wrote a note to Du Liuxuan, telling him that he had to make room for these items immediately.
Because she knew that if these things passed through her hands, she would probably find it hard to suppress her greed and would be tempted to take some of them for herself.
However, she had to get back the money her brother had borrowed, since it was for the country and was considered a debt owed to the country. So she secretly kept fifty gold bricks for herself.
But Jiang Jiyun would never say that a single gold brick is worth several large yellow croakers.
After she quickly moved all her belongings, the accident happened.
Suddenly, a mechanical "click-clack" sound came from the spot where the treasure had been placed, as if something was being started or moved.
Xiao Tian's alertness was instantly aroused. He grabbed Jiang Jiyun, who hadn't had time to escape, and carried him out of the tomb like a chick.
Hu Dahe and Sun Jiaguo reacted quickly, running out and hiding in a relatively safe corner.
Several people held their breath nervously, quietly waiting for the mechanical "click-clack" sound to end.
Finally, the sound gradually faded away, and the tomb returned to deathly silence.
After a while, Xiaotian cautiously peeked out and looked toward the source of the sound. There, a huge frame had appeared, leading straight to the top of the tomb.
"I'll go up and take a look." Xiao Tian climbed up the frame.
He couldn't pry open the space above his head, so he moved back and forth, and then there was a hole above him.
When Xiaotian went up, he saw that the place was not big. He moved the stone slab above his head with force and then he came into contact with a face full of fear.
