Chapter 255: Seeing Amber Again

~8 min read 1,501 words

Lu Lu Qiao's gaze fell on the stone on top.

The light in the basement was not good, and she couldn't see what color the stone was, but it definitely wasn't an ordinary big stone.

Lu Lu Qiao held the flashlight and shone it over. The surface of the stone was covered with a layer of cold matte. Lu Lu Qiao touched it with her hand. The moment her palm touched it, she felt an indescribable warm current slowly flowing from the stone into her palm.

Lu Lu Qiao suddenly withdrew her hand.

Looking carefully again, it was clearly a jade raw stone with sand skin.

She shone the flashlight close to it again, and the yellow-white light beam suddenly refracted a needle-like positive green somewhere.

Lu Lu Qiao's fingertips moved slightly; was this piece still a window-opened jade stone?

She was 100% sure it was real, because she felt it.

Lu Lu Qiao stood up slowly. This was the first time since coming to this world that she felt energy from something else. She went to touch the gold again, but there was no feeling. It seemed that only jade could do it.

That wasn't right either. She still had five jade bracelets and six jade pendants at home, which were also jade, like a pool of clear water.

But when she touched them, there was no feeling.

Was it because they were too small?

She did touch them one by one at the time.

So, the stones here should all be jade raw stones?

Lu Lu Qiao was very calm. She had experienced this feeling in the end times.

Even if it was almost useless in this era, since she had it, she would keep it.

As for how much this jade was worth, Lu Lu Qiao didn't consider it at all.

However, it was only a minute, and Lu Lu Qiao withdrew her hand. In the darkness, her beautiful eyebrows flashed with a surprise; this was something she hadn't expected.

Lu Lu Qiao looked at the stone again; the fist-sized stone had shattered into powder.

In this box, the large stones were like footballs, and the small ones were about the size of a man's fist.

Lu Lu Qiao clenched her hands, and in the darkness, carefully felt her body and mental energy.

There was an inexplicable, indescribable silky feeling.

Mm, both strength and speed had increased.

Lu Lu Qiao felt that if she were to run to the foot of Yuanbao Mountain now, the place where she and Qin Heng's comrades had a picnic last time, starting from the North City Gate, she would only need less than three minutes.

It could be called extreme speed.

Lu Lu Qiao didn't delay any longer; anyway, strength and speed were her own, and it was the same whenever she looked at them.

But if all these boxes weren't opened, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Lu Lu Qiao opened the remaining nineteen boxes.

It was really like opening a blind box.

That long-lost sense of excitement surged into her heart again.

There were eight boxes full of gold sand.

There were five boxes full of jade raw stones of various sizes.

There were two boxes of gold nuggets and gold lumps mixed with stones.

There were four more boxes. After Lu Lu Qiao opened one of them, her pupils shrank; it was a box full of amber.

After a moment of stagnation, Lu Lu Qiao understood, because the place with the most amber was Fushun in the Northeast.

The Japanese who stole the old gold mine had been to Fushun and looted it, but he didn't hand it over, but secretly transported it back to Jiangcheng, preparing to transport it back to his family through a special channel.

Like gold, the colorful amber emitted a delicate, warm, and bright luster the moment the box was opened.

Lu Lu Qiao was very patient this time, looking at them one by one.

Basically two types: gemstone-grade amber and insect amber.

Colorful and in various shapes.

Each one, even if covered in dust, was colorful, beautiful, and gorgeous.

It was really too beautiful.

Lu Lu Qiao's gaze fell on the remaining three boxes.

She held the flashlight and shone them one by one.

They were all amber, full of brilliance.

Among them, the most common insects were ants. Lu Lu Qiao also saw an amber with a small fish, and more were unknown substances.

Grandpa had a few, bought with heavy gold, and he cherished them very much.

But she had four full boxes here.

Fushun had been looted by the Japanese, so there was no doubt that this was another stronghold of the Japanese.

Fortunately, it wasn't open to the public; if they came in a few years, it would have been found by their descendants.

Damn robbers!

Lu Lu Qiao remembered the two pieces of amber Dian Dian Dian Dian gave her. Now that she thought about it, maybe they were from the same batch, played with by them. They weren't in a hurry, thinking they could occupy it for hundreds of years, but they didn't expect to be defeated, so they lost them on the way to transport the gold sand, and then they were discovered by Dian Dian Dian Dian...

These had too much research value; she couldn't keep them all.

However, since the things were in her hands, she wasn't in a hurry.

When there was a suitable opportunity, she would donate them.

For now, she couldn't move them. The environment in the basement was not bad, the humidity was not high, but it wasn't dry either, otherwise these ambers couldn't have been preserved so well.

Lu Lu Qiao put the four boxes full of amber back in their original positions.

Lu Lu Qiao arranged the others as they were.

Twenty-nine boxes: fifteen boxes of gold sand, four boxes of gold nuggets, six boxes of jade raw stones, and the last four boxes were amber.

At this time, Little Little Cangcang, who was guarding the wellhead, flew in, but very sensibly didn't fly in, and said to Lu Lu Qiao at the slope: 【Little Master, someone is knocking on the door, it's Aunt Bai next door. She said the water in our well is delicious and wants to come and fetch a bucket of water...】

The tabby cat squatted on the wall, somewhat regretting that it couldn't go in. Although it was very powerful now and basically invincible among cats, it was worried that it wouldn't be able to hold the rope and fall into the water.

It was most afraid of water.

So it could only arrange for Little Little Cangcang to notify the Little Master.

Actually, Rat One and Rat Two would also work.

But this was a water well, and the shrewd Rat One wouldn't rashly go down to notify without the Little Master's permission.

The only one most suitable was Little Little Cangcang.

Lu Lu Qiao scanned the basement with her flashlight, then said to Little Little Cangcang: "You and Rat One and the others don't look for the entrance for now, keep it as it is and don't move."

Little Little Cangcang: 【Okay,

Lu Lu Qiao swept her flashlight around, then said to Little Little Cangcang: "You and the mice, don't look for the entrance for now; keep it as it is and don't move."

Little Little Cangcang: 【Understood, Little Master.】

Lu Lu Qiao took the flashlight and led Little Little Cangcang out of the basement.

Lu Lu Qiao grabbed the rope with one hand and closed the door opened in the well wall with the other.

You have to say, the design is truly ingenious; after closing it, you can't tell at all.

But then again, without a certain amount of strength, having been rusted shut for so many years, it really wouldn't be possible to open it.

Lu Lu Qiao restored the wellhead to its original state and also tidied herself up.

Only then did she walk quickly toward the main gate.

Auntie Bai was carrying two water buckets, her face full of smiles: "Comrade Lu, I'm sorry, it's mainly because the water in your house is really delicious; it's a famous sweet water well in our area, and we used to come here often to fetch water to drink."

The tabby cat meowed a few times.

【Little Master, she is lying. The original female owner of this house had a bad personality, didn't like them coming to the house to fetch water at all, and didn't really interact with the neighbors.】

【The main reason is because their house was big and made of blue bricks and tiles, so they were reported many times by jealous neighbors, so they didn't associate with anyone on a daily basis.】

【But I heard Old Mrs. Qian say that the water in our well is indeed very delicious, just like mountain spring water, sweet and tasty.】
