The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 326 Unpacking

Although the children were eager to see what was inside the cave, the adults sent them away to other places just in case.

Then ask Red Hare and the others to fly down to the cave with the rope and slowly lower the things down.

I don't know how big the cave is, but there are definitely forty or fifty boxes.

Everyone initially thought there would only be one or two boxes, but as more and more boxes were put down, the villagers' expressions changed.

"Could this be some kind of treasure?"

"If there's only a small amount, our village can keep it for ourselves. But if there's too much, we'll have to hand it over to the village!"

"This must have been left behind by the great general, right? With so many things coming out, won't the government surround our village and drive us out?"

"You know what, it's actually possible!"

"That won't do! Our family has lived here for generations. Where can we go if we're kicked out?"

"Why don't we just pretend we didn't see them and return these boxes to their original location..."

As the villagers chattered amongst themselves, Village Chief Hu's face darkened. "Alright, let's move the things into the courtyard first. Stop saying those discouraging things."

Besides, when has Ayu ever harmed them?
If they weren't afraid of ruining the child's good fortune, they would have liked to build a temple for Xiao Ayu so that she could pray there whenever she wanted.

But the thought of Grandma Wang chasing after everyone with a broom made them only able to thank her silently from time to time.

The group marched in a large procession and carried the boxes to the courtyard outside the village ancestral hall.

Not all villagers could be present to oversee the event. Those who weren't very discreet were driven out, while those who had influence in the village were brought in.

The box shouldn't have been shown to anyone in the first place; it would have been better if the village chief's men had opened it privately. But now that everyone in the village knows, keeping it all hidden would be problematic.

Let's be frank, so as not to complicate matters.

The Wang family members were present. Old Master Hu and several other clan elders sat at the head of the table: "Open it."

Several strong men stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one.

Surprisingly, there was neither gold nor silver treasures, nor silk and satin, nor was there any waste.

“Hmm, I’ve never seen these things before.” One of the villagers walked towards a box, looked at the contents and muttered, “They look a bit like armor, but not quite.”

Indeed, upon closer inspection, the object resembled armor plates, but they were scattered and did not appear to be a single piece.

Most of the other boxes contained these kinds of things.

It feels like jade but not jade, like iron but not iron; it's cool to the touch, and when you hold it, it makes a metallic clanging sound, but it's very light.

Grandpa Hu held it in his hand and examined it for a long time. Amid the puzzled looks of the crowd, he hesitated and said, "Perhaps this is the material that was once used to make armor, but it has not yet been assembled."

It's also possible that because so much time has passed, the things that once held the armor together have broken down, leaving only the armor itself.

It's not impossible, after all, there was some unknown powder in the box, and we don't know if it was because the rope had weathered away.

"What's this again?" More villagers gathered around the other boxes, lifted the top cloth, and after a cloud of dust, revealed what was inside.

This time everyone recognized it: books, a whole box full of books.

Before anyone else could speak, Grandpa Hu picked up the top book.

The book is so soft that it feels like you could easily break it.

This time, Old Master Hu's eyes lit up: "It's a long-lost military treatise!"
