The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn
Chapter 344 Gold Swallowing Beast
Wu Ji Su Pu
Xu Zhi and Hua Ye walked back and forth in the spacious and slightly dim warehouse of the pastry shop like detectives. Their eyes were sharp and focused, and they did not miss any place where clues might be hidden.
Hua Ye bent down and gently pushed aside the neatly arranged wooden boxes with his hands, carefully checking whether there was anything unusual behind the boxes; while Xu Zhi held up the oil lamp in his hand, illuminating every dark corner of the warehouse.
"How is it, have you found anything?"
Hua Ye straightened up, turned to look at Xu Zhi who was concentrating on searching and asked.
Her voice was particularly clear in the quiet warehouse, with a hint of urgency and anticipation. Before Xuzhi could react, she continued.
"It doesn't look like it was moved by anyone. There's no sign of it being moved. Not even the boxes of gold and silver were taken away."
"You're quite perceptive. It must have been the work of the gold-devouring beast. There are still traces of its unique saliva left in the box, and it hasn't dissolved for a long time..."
Xu Zhi waved his sleeves, and the traces of saliva in the lacquered wooden box appeared. The clearly visible spots were sparse and sparkling with some gold powder.
"Gold-eating beast?"
Hua Ye was instantly attracted by this strange and bizarre species. Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of animal is this?"
My heart was filled with curiosity and doubts, and I was eager to know all the information about this mysterious creature.
With a wave of Xu's hand, the phantom of the gold-devouring beast appeared before their eyes.
That thing looked quite similar to what people call the golden toad, but there were obvious differences.
Its body is covered with spots the size of golden copper coins. These spots are densely packed and staggered all over its body, like an exquisite golden armor covering it.
What's even more amazing is that the size of this creature can expand and contract freely, and can become larger or smaller at will.
When it shrinks, it looks like a small and exquisite golden ball; when it stretches out its body, it is as big as a small hill.
In addition, its thick and rough skin is like a layer of extremely hard gold nugget, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.
"This is what it looks like!"
Hua Ye couldn't help but sigh in fascination, "Isn't this a walking money bag? Looking at his belly, I'm afraid he can swallow tens of thousands of taels of gold..."
"No more, no less. If you like it, I will catch it and give it to you!"
Xu Zhi looked at her with such a burning look in his eyes that he wished he could immediately catch the gold-eating beast and give it to her.
"Very well, when I subdue her, I will make her swallow up all the money in the palace treasury and carry it on my person."
"I didn't expect you were also a miser?"
"Why not? Although money is something outside of one's body, it is absolutely impossible to live without it..."
With a wave of Xu Zhi's hand, the phantom of the gold-eating beast disappeared before his eyes. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was caused by Hua Ye's witty words.
"Okay, sure, if you like, I'll give you all the money I've accumulated over tens of thousands of years!"
"Where's your money? How come I haven't thought about it at all after being married for so long? How much private property do you think you have hidden?"
When Hua Ye heard about the wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years, his almond-shaped eyes suddenly lit up...
"It's not much. I'm afraid the entire Xu Mansion can't hold it all..." Xu Zhi said calmly, as if it was a common thing.
"What? Do you own a mountain of gold?"
"Roughly the same……"
Hua Ye looked at Xu Zhi's calm face and was speechless for a moment: Aren't you showing off your wealth blatantly?
Xuzhi looked at the speechless expression on her face and heard the complaints in her heart, and immediately reached out and rubbed her hair.
"Everyone in this palace is yours, and those worldly possessions are even more yours. Why should you be so envious?"
"My father's money is also managed by my mother, so naturally what's yours is mine."
Hua Ye raised his head and looked at him and continued, "Remember to make a list of your personal belongings for your wife to review!"
"Okay, but should we investigate the case now, or make a list first?" Xu Zhi smiled as if teasing Hua Ye intentionally.
"Of course, we have to investigate the case first! The list is just a piece of cake!"
Hua Ye rolled his eyes at him several times in annoyance: "You said that all the gold and silver in this city have been devoured by it a long time ago. It seems that it will not show up easily during this period of time..."
"This city just had a big riot. Most likely they have already left Sucheng and gone somewhere else!"
"Then how do we find its trace?"
"It is very sensitive to the smell of copper and will appear near gold if it smells it."
……
The two of them walked out of Wu Ji Su Pu after a series of questions and answers...
