Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 144: I feel depressed for being so civic-minded. I really suffered a great loss!

Upon hearing this, Chu Xin did not make a fuss like him. It was already done on her hands, so it would be too late to deduct it later!

"It's okay, I don't feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Yichen ignored her and just cleaned Chu Xin's fingers, concentrating and seriously.

Chu Xin wanted to pull his hand away, but failed, and couldn't help but frown.

Are they treating her like a child, or are they not considering her as a lesbian?

Don't you care at all?

The hand held by Zhou Yichen suddenly clenched into a fist. It looked pink and tender, but how much killing power it had, anyone who had been beaten knew it.

Zhou Yichen smiled bitterly and let go of his hand, his tone full of helplessness.

"Don't be angry, I'm just worried about you! This should be raw lacquer, it's poisonous."

Then he frowned again, "There's something wrong with this tree!"

Chu Xin nodded, then swung his fist, and slammed it heavily on the tree trunk.

"boom!"

The tree trunk broke with a sound, and Chu Xin smashed a hole in it.

"See for yourself!"

Zhou Yichen came closer with a flashlight, "It's actually empty in here?"

Chu Xin couldn't find anything suitable, so she started to peel off the fake bark with her bare hands.

Seeing this, Zhou Yichen also started to pry it apart. Soon, the entire fake surface was removed, revealing six neatly stacked small wooden boxes inside.

The two looked at each other, quickly moved everything out, and piled them outside.

Chu Xin used the flashlight to carefully look at the boxes. These boxes were quite old, with rings and locks hanging on them, all made of copper.

Moreover, the lock is also a rectangular padlock, the type commonly used during the Republic of China period.

Chu Xin simply pulled the lock nose and the lock off together with his hand, then opened the lid of the box.

Even though Chu Xin had seen the world, he couldn't help but be dazzled. A whole box of gold bars was shining with golden light under the flashlight.

Chu Xin immediately smelled the smell of money in the air, prompting her to open all the boxes one after another.

Zhou Yichen, who was silent on the side...

She looks very happy, so don’t make yourself unhappy!

"I heard from Comrade Tang at the guesthouse that this was once a place built by dignitaries for recreation and entertainment. I never thought there would be so many treasures hidden here!"

No wonder the emperors at that time liked to confiscate property. By doing this casually, they could not only destroy the families of those they disliked, but also earn a huge amount of income.

"What should we do? What should we do with these things?"

Chu Xin felt a little regretful. She didn't use her mental power to check just now. Otherwise, it would have been better to put a box into the space first!

Now it's not a headache, it's a physical pain. She found out that she can't have one that belongs to her.

If it was public property, it would be fine, but this is obviously a private collection!

Zhou Yichen saw that Chu Xin was obviously moved and knew that she liked these things.

I was already thinking about how to get her a reward so that she wouldn't feel too disadvantaged.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Chu Xin's bag, then at the ancestral hall, and said:

"You watch these things first, I'll go inside and take a look!"

Zhou Yichen's words were equivalent to hinting to Chu Xin, "If you want to take it, just take some. If I'm not here, it means I don't know."

Anyway, the things were obtained by accident. No one knows what is inside except those who are afraid of seeing things in public. Even if there is something missing, no one will know.

Although Chu Xin didn't understand Zhou Yichen's implicit meaning, she knew that she could do it herself if no one was watching.

"Okay, then I won't go in!"

Not to mention how well-behaved Zhou Yichen was after he went in, he didn't even peek outside.

Even Chu Xin was not a greedy person. She only took one-fifth of the contents of each box, whether it was gold or pearls and jade.

Chu Xin was depressed because she was so civic-minded. She really suffered a great loss!

Then they closed the boxes one by one and stacked them back up.

While moving the last box, she picked up a stone from the ground.

Just after putting the box away, he suddenly turned around and threw the stone in his hand, turning off the flashlight at the same time.

The thief is back again!

"Boom"

The dull sound of stone hitting the wall.

Chu Xin was speechless. He dodged so quickly that he didn't hit anyone?!

Then he turned over and hid behind the box.

At this time, Zhou Yichen heard the noise and ran out, "What happened?"

He quickly noticed something was wrong and immediately looked in the direction Chu Xin was on guard. While turning off the flashlight, he crouched down and approached.

"Bang" a gunshot sounded,

Someone in the dark had already shot at him.

Chu Xin had been paying attention to the opposite side. Even without using his mental power, he knew that danger was approaching. The moment the other party fired the bullet, he fired without hesitation!

"boom!"

"Well!"

He was hit, but not killed.

What followed was a gunfight between the two sides.

Zhou Yichen's arm was wounded by a bullet, but he did not stop at all and crawled to where Chu Xin was.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

Chu Xin was just thinking about whether to use his mental power to lock onto the person and just shoot him to be done with it, but when he saw Zhou Yichen coming over, he suddenly became lazy.

"About one person, I leave it to you!"

Zhou Yichen nodded. He also noticed that Chu Xin was in a bad mood today. Thinking about the fact that she had touched the raw lacquer, he didn't know if she would react now!

Thinking of this, he quickly found a good observation position, looked through the gap in the box, and fired a tentative shot in an attempt to find the opponent's hiding place.

That's right, the enemy's returning bullets sparked in the dark night.

Zhou Yichen narrowed his eyes, paying close attention, and immediately fired a quick shot.

"what!"

Hearing the sound of the hit, Zhou Yichen rushed out quickly and pounced on the opposite side in the blink of an eye.

The flashlight swept quickly and locked onto the man on the ground who was covering his chest.

He immediately kicked the pistol that fell to the side away, and without giving the man a chance to speak, he knocked him unconscious.

He tore off his clothes, tied him up tightly, dragged him up and went back to find Chu Xin.

Chu Xin also felt uncomfortable at this time. In addition to feeling itchy, she also had some signs of difficulty breathing.

I just felt really unlucky. I didn't expect I'd actually be allergic! My hands instinctively wanted to grab the recovery potion from the space.

At the moment when the thing was about to appear, she suddenly realized that there was an outsider, and she abruptly changed the gesture of taking the thing to that of slapping a mosquito!

Luckily, she didn't turn on the flashlight. Zhou Yichen probably didn't see her strange movements, right?!

"People are dead?"

Zhou Yichen lowered the flashlight so that he could neither see Chu Xin's expression nor Chu Xin see his expression.

"Not dead! Are you okay? I'll take care of these things and people, you sit down and rest for a while! It will be fine soon!"

Chu Xin nodded, didn't try to be stubborn, got up and found a place to sit down out of the way.

I watched Zhou Yichen drag the person out first, and then come back to move the boxes.

When Zhou Yichen was making his last move, Chu Xin also stood up and wanted to follow him.

Zhou Yichen saw her intention and tilted the flashlight in his hand slightly towards Chu Xin to illuminate the path under her feet.

Chu Xin's headache symptoms worsened at this time. She sighed in her heart, what a bad luck today!

While he was distracted, he tripped over a protruding stone.

With a sway of his body, Zhou Yichen, who had been paying attention to her, quickly dropped the things in his hands and tried to help her.

Chu Xin seemed to have taken root, her body leaning so much that it was almost touching Zhou Yichen's hand. Relying on her excellent physical fitness, she stood up straight again.

"You're so stupid! You dropped everything! Pick it up quickly!"

Zhou Yichen...

It’s unnecessary to do these by yourself!!

Then he quickly withdrew his hand and obediently picked up the things on the ground.
