Zhao Gang actually had no confidence in his heart. The place his son ntioned didn’t seem like the best place for a treasure to him, but the place looked quite familiar.
Anyway, they would go and have a look. If it was real, they would prepare tools to dig for the treasure. If not, then there was no loss, they’d just find another place.
"Do you really think that place is very likely to be where the treasure is?" Zhao Gang was stunned after hearing Gong Tao’s analysis.
Could it really be such a coincidence? How could they have such a clear idea on their first visit?
"The entrance is man-made, but there might be snakes inside," Gong Tao explained why they hadn’t entered today.
"Exactly, we can’t go in." With so many kids, if sothing happens, it would really be a disaster.
"We’ll go up and take a look when we have a day off." Zhao Gang originally planned to wait a few days until the field work was done, but knowing the location and not checking it out made him feel really itchy inside.
So, they might as well go up and take a look on their day off. If it was real, they’d prepare to dig, and if not, they’d continue searching.
Gong Ruini was also eager, wanting to join in the treasure hunt. Such opportunities were rare, maybe once in a lifeti, and if she missed this one, who knows if there’d be another chance.
Not only Gong Ruini, but everyone else felt the sa, each looking pitifully at Gong Tao and Zhao Gang.
On a normal day, Zhao Gang would agree, but this ti was different, with all kinds of unforeseen dangers.
"Kids, don’t make trouble. Stay quietly at ho." Zhao Gang imdiately dismissed the idea of taking them along.
Hmph, even if they weren’t taken, wouldn’t they go on their own? They knew the location, after all. Zhao Guangran, fuming, decided that they couldn’t miss out on this.
Zhao Guangran wasn’t silly. He noticed earlier that Gong Ruini also had a look of envy, so she would probably be willing to go along and watch the fun.
With Gong Ruini’s agreent, Zhao Guangran didn’t believe that his brother wouldn’t go.
"That day, you guys will stay ho and study. Xuran, keep an eye on them." Zhao Gang didn’t even have to look at Zhao Guangran to know what little sches he had. Wasn’t he just planning to secretly follow them?
Since they weren’t allowed to follow, they wouldn’t be given the opportunity.
Zhao Gang was also worried that his eldest son couldn’t resist the kids’ tantrums, "Mom, you keep an eye on the kids then."
Zhao Gang smoothly assigned Hua Miaozhu to watch over the kids. Although his mother-in-law could sotis be soft-hearted, knowing there were snakes on the mountain, Zhao Gang didn’t believe his mother-in-law would relent.
No way, Zhao Guangran almost howled; his own dad was being too much, acting so defensively against them.
Not only did they have their big brother suppressing them, but they also deployed their grandma. How could this be resolved? Zhao Guangran was bewildered.
Zhao Xuran felt a sense of regret, even though he was usually sensible. As a boy, he naturally had a touch of restlessness in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so excited and curious about the Treasure Map.
He didn’t expect that just as dawn approached, his own father would deliver such bad news. But being the eldest, he was used to accepting his father’s assignnts.
Even though he didn’t really want to take on this task, since the old man had spoken, "Dad, I understand. I’ll keep an eye on my younger siblings."
He didn’t forget to give a look to Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran. Gong Ruini might seem quiet and well-behaved, but that was because she hadn’t encountered sothing of interest to her. Once she did, she too was one to stir things up.
Zhao Xuran didn’t want to deal with these two unruly kids banding together.
Why was he staring at her? She was a good kid. Gong Ruini was quite disgruntled. She wasn’t like Zhao Guangran, such a mischievous brat causing all sorts of unreliable trouble.
See, his brother really understood Gong Ruini’s true temperant. Otherwise, why would he stare at her? This made Zhao Guangran inwardly delighted. Whether or not there would be excitent that day, to avoid putting his brother in a difficult position, Zhao Guangran decided to suppress his so-called curiosity.
In any case, he must not make things difficult for his brother, Zhao Guangran swore to himself.
Hua Miaozhu felt all sorts of chills when she heard Gong Tao ntion there were snakes in the cave. If possible, she even wanted to persuade her son-in-law not to go.
Even though it’s a so-called Treasure Map, they didn’t know how much treasure there would be. Moreover, her son-in-law’s share wasn’t much, so why take the risk?
Looking at her son-in-law’s excited face, all her words of caution were swallowed back down. While her son-in-law respected her as a mother-in-law, it didn’t give her the right to intervene in his actions.
Although she couldn’t talk her son-in-law out of it, she had to make sure the kids didn’t take the risk. They would just be a burden if they went along.
With Zhao Xuran and then Hua Miaozhu, Gong Ruini completely gave up on the idea of wanting to go. No matter how much Zhao Guangran fussed, she couldn’t go.
Otherwise, the bla might unfairly fall on her head, sigh.
Seeing the kids looking so dejected, Cai Ming patted their heads, "I’ll tell you about the situation in the cave later."
But what’s the use of talking about it? It’s not like he’s a storyteller who can make them feel as if they’re actually there. Even if he could convey that feeling, it wouldn’t match actually going in and seeing for themselves.
If only they had a cara to capture it, they might be able to share more details. Unfortunately, Gong Ruini could only hope Cai Ming would recount the events vividly so their regret would be lessened, otherwise, they’d really want to cry.
Why even talk about the cave’s situation? Hua Miaozhu really didn’t see the point in telling sothing so terrifying to the kids. Didn’t they know they were children?
If there was any bloody scene, telling them would only scare them. No matter from which perspective, Hua Miaozhu just hoped they would have a smooth and peaceful trip into the cave this ti.
Cai ina was actually the most worried, concerned about both her husband and her brother. "You must be careful. Safety cos first."
No matter how important getting rich was, it couldn’t be more important than safety. "Why not wait until after it snows to go in?"
Large animals and snakes hibernate in winter, so going up the mountain then would be safest. Cai ina didn’t understand why they couldn’t wait a little longer when they had already been waiting this long.
"We’re just going to take a look." n have a bit of adventure in their genes. Although they often went hunting on the mountain, this treasure excavation was more thrilling.
"Exactly." Cai Ming, though usually a quiet child, was also boiling with excitent now.
Alright then, they all think this way. Cai ina kept silent. She decided to make more snake repellent for Zhan Jing. Since the cave entrance wasn’t big, apart from snakes, there shouldn’t be any dangerous animals, which sowhat eased Cai ina’s mind.
To fully be at ease, she would have to wait until Gong Tao and his party returned safely.
