The top layer was neatly filled with silver ingots, each of which looked round and cute, sparkling with alluring light as if even attracting the moonlight.

The next layer is filled with a variety of gems, all of which are very eye-catching in terms of size and color.

As for these treasures, which were as precious as those from a modern jewelry store, it was unclear whether they were cultural products of this country or hidden items brought from outside by a traveler. But in any case, Sun Wan loved them all.

She thought that probably no one would feel disgusted by something so sparkling and dazzling.

Inside the last layer, there is a small flat wooden box, and many exquisite and beautiful jade ornaments are scattered around it as embellishment.

After standing for a while, Sun Wan began to seriously think about what to do next.

She carefully examined the long wooden box in front of her, speculating deep in her heart that it might just be a traditional burial item used to store the remains of the deceased.

Perhaps the owner who once lived here had prepared such a coffin for himself before he died, but for some unknown reason he did not lie down in it and pass away quietly as he wished, but chose to sit here.

Just as Sun Wan was lost in thought, there was some noise coming from not far away. It was obvious that people from Sujia Village came to look for her.

After realizing this, in order to deal with the situation as quickly as possible, she quickly used her special storage space ability to safely store all the items in the three-layer box, leaving only the wooden coffin lid exposed and conspicuous.

Soon after, Su Yousheng could be heard calling out anxiously, "Mom! Mom! Where are you?"

"Su Yousheng, I'm here. Keep going inside."

Sun Wan's clear voice penetrated the dark space and echoed in the narrow passage.

Then Zhang Hu's voice was heard, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?"

His voice was full of anxiety and concern, and it was obvious that he was very worried about Sun Wan's safety.

Hearing the footsteps of only two people, Sun Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, confirming that it was indeed Zhang Hu and her son Su Yousheng who were looking for her.

Since her son already knew that she possessed this special ability - although he always thought it was some kind of mysterious magic - she thought it would be better to let this old friend of many years know the truth.

In this way, no matter where she is in the future or when she needs to use this ability, there will always be someone who can understand her and explain everything to her; more importantly, in such a difficult time as now, it is such a precious thing to be able to help everyone overcome the difficulties by taking some supplies out of this cave!

From the first time she left her familiar hometown to this moment, for Sun Wan, Zhang Hu has always been that upright and extremely kind-hearted person.

Therefore, it is a natural choice to tell such important information to such a trusted friend.

After letting her trusted friends know about this skill, no matter where her family goes in the future, whenever Sun Wan needs to access some urgently needed items, there will always be a reasonable reason for everyone to accept it; but the most important thing is the current situation - relying on the food and other resources hidden in the cave can help the entire group survive this difficult time.

Although there is not enough source of drinking water for the time being, at least the basic food supply can be ensured to be uninterrupted, so that the entire team can remain relatively calm until they find a safe and stable place to live.

After praying silently in her heart, Sun Wan made a decision, and at this moment, Zhang Hu and Su Yousheng appeared in front of her, as if it was arranged by God.

Su Yousheng hurried forward and almost fell to his knees the moment he saw his mother, tears streaming down his face. "Mom! You scared me to death. I really thought... I would never see you again!"

The trembling voice was filled with joy and gratitude for reunion after fear.

Sun Wan gently patted her son's broad shoulders and said soothingly, "Alright, alright, you're already an adult, about to start a family and build a career. Why are you still crying? Hurry up and get up."

Having said that, it can be seen from her slightly moist eyes that she was also deeply touched by this scene.

Then she turned to Zhang Hu, who had been quietly watching the interaction between the mother and son, and said seriously, "Thank you for your help this time."

Zhang Hu quickly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for excessive thanks, and responded sincerely, "Don't be so polite, mother-in-law. I'm relieved to see you standing here safely. But what exactly is this place like? It looks like an underground tunnel or something..."

He looked around the newly discovered place with curious yet wary eyes.

Sun Wan nodded and replied, "Come with me."

Then she walked slowly in front, led the people behind her to the skeleton, and gently pointed there to show them.

Seeing this strange scene, Su Yousheng was shocked and his heart skipped a beat, but he still held back and didn't make a sound; while Zhang Lao Hu seemed calm and composed.

He looked at the open coffin and wondered in his heart: Is there any treasure in there that has been kept away by his in-laws?

However, he did not feel jealous at all, nor was he curious about what was going on - who should have what was naturally determined, and it all depended on fate.

"Since there's a ready-made coffin here, we can put the remains in it and seal it up, and that will be considered a proper burial for him."

Sun Wan suggested calmly.

Seeing that Zhang Lao Hu was just staring at the coffin and didn't ask too many details, Sun Wan felt more determined. She felt more and more that it was a wise move to tell him her secret.

"Second brother, come and help, don't be afraid. This senior must be a kind person. His soul has probably ascended to the immortal realm by now. There is nothing to be afraid of."

After saying these words, Su Yousheng seemed to cheer up and was no longer so scared.

He reached out his hand, intending to pick up an ancient book and hand it to his brother, but as soon as his hand touched the pages, the entire book suddenly turned into dust and disappeared into the air.

This scene surprised Sun Wan greatly - the book that was originally in good condition disappeared in an instant!

Looking at Zhang Lao Hu who remained calm and composed, Sun Wan couldn't help but admire him even more: he was indeed a brave and resourceful man, who remained calm and composed in times of crisis.

Then, Zhang Lao Hu clasped his hands together, bent down, and bowed deeply in the direction of the skeleton.

"I wonder where you were as a great master in your lifetime? Which paradise did you go to? Now that we've met, please bury me and let me rest in peace."
