Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

That's the downside of summer; you sweat easily with just a little movement, and if you exercise, you'll be soaked in sweat.

So the two of them took another shower before sitting on the sofa with the fan blowing and chatting.

"Feifei, the houses in Baiyun Community are welfare housing and cannot be transferred. However, our purpose is not the house, so I directly signed a house transfer agreement with the homeowner."

Yu Fei was aware of this situation, of course. He smiled and said, "Then the price should be much cheaper, right?"

Lin Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "The landlord is in a hurry to go abroad, so the price is less than half of the market price."

Yu Fei gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister is amazing, she cut the price by more than half."

Lin Yang chuckled and said, "We're taking a risk. What if our former employer takes back the house? Our money will be gone. Are we supposed to chase them all the way abroad to get that money back?"

Yu Fei laughed and said, "That's true. By the way, when shall we make our move?"

Lin Yang said, "Of course, the sooner the better. There's no time like the present, let's do it tonight."

Yu Fei asked in surprise, "If we make a move tonight, have you figured out the situation upstairs? It wouldn't be good if we made a noise and disturbed the residents."

Lin Yang scolded, "I'm not a child, of course I considered that. This family won't be back tonight."

Yu Fei nodded and smiled, "Teacher Lin is indeed very thoughtful. I'm sure you've prepared the tools as well. Let's get started!"

Just as Yu Fei said, Lin Yang prepared a ladder, a cutting machine, knives and pliers.

According to Lin Yang's recollection of that report from back then, the sandalwood box containing the collection should have been placed on the ceiling of the study.

The house was built in the 1960s and has had several owners. According to news reports from that time, the sandalwood box and the collection inside belonged to the first owner, Mr. Tan, who was a collector. During that dark period, in order to protect his collection, he hid it in the ceiling.

Mr. Tan was once a successful businessman. During the war, all his children died, leaving him all alone. He was then criticized as a capitalist and died in a cowshed.

Mr. Tan was a very particular person, and the decoration was quite nice. The subsequent owners did not renovate it, so the collection in the ceiling was quietly preserved.

Yu Fei and Lin Yang entered the study and found that the ladder was already there.

For those who are interested, it is very easy to find the ceiling that Mr. Tan cut back then, because it has been re-nailed.

The cutting machine was too loud, so Yu Fei didn't need it.

"Yangyang, you should be able to use pliers directly."

"Okay, then try it first. If it doesn't work, then use the cutting machine."

Yu Fei set up the ladder and climbed up, while Lin Yang held the ladder from below, reminding Yu Fei to be careful.

The ceiling is made of wood, and the material is quite good. Yu Fei stood on the ladder, supporting the ceiling with one hand, while using pliers to clamp the head of a nail with the other.

Such a posture is extremely tiring, especially since Yu Fei's body lacks exercise. So by the time he managed to squeeze out a nail, he was already drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

Yu Fei exclaimed softly, "I didn't expect it to be so tiring!"

Lin Yang noticed that Yu Fei was sweating profusely and said with some concern, "Feifei, don't rush, rest for a while."

Yu Fei sat on the ladder, panting, and said, "Sister, it seems I need to exercise more. My body is really not up to par."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Here, have some water first."

Yu Fei took the water glass that Lin Yang handed him, took a sip of the cold water, and felt much better.

After resting for a while, Yu Fei started nailing again.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. At first, Yu Fei didn't grasp the key points, but later he seemed to have some experience, so it wasn't as difficult as before.

After most of the nails were removed, the section of ceiling that had been cut off drooped down.

Yu Fei grasped the plank, removed the last nail, and then handed the plank down.

After Lin Yang put the plank down, he handed a flashlight up and said, "Feifei, first stick your head in and shine the flashlight to confirm your location before you climb up."

Yu Fei took the flashlight, handed the pliers to Lin Yang, and laughed, "Yangyang, we really do look like a young couple who've been thieves this time."

Lin Yang retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? This house belongs to us now. It's our own property. How can taking our own things be considered stealing? Hehe!"

Yu Fei shrugged and said, "Yangyang, I like what you said. Get me a rag. This is all dust and cobwebs. I'll wipe it before I stick my head in, otherwise my whole head will be covered in cobwebs."

Lin Yang then laughed and said, "How about we get a hood? I have a lot of stockings. Stockings can be used as hoods. Isn't that how they always do it on TV?"

Yu Fei shook his head and laughed, "Teacher Lin, you just want to see me look ugly, right? Fine, give it to me. I don't mind your stockings."

Lin Yang chuckled and said, "I've changed my mind again. My stockings are very expensive, and I'm afraid you'll ruin them. I have a hat in my bedroom; I'll go get it for you."

Lin Yang quickly brought over a rag and a hat. Yu Fei put on the hat, took the rag, and wiped the ceiling; there was just too much dust.

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Feifei, forget it, let's not wipe it. Anyway, you still need to take a shower after climbing the ceiling."

"Okay, I won't wipe it." Yu Fei thought about it and agreed. It's just dirt, it's just dust, and it's easy to wash.

Yu Fei tossed the rag down, turned on his flashlight, and began searching for the sandalwood box.

There was nothing on the ceiling except for dust, so the sandalwood chest was easy to find, and it was also covered in dust.

Yu Fei called out softly, "Yangyang, I see the box. It's only about two or three meters away from the opening."

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Feifei, in that case, we don't need to climb. I'll go get a wooden pole and a hook, maybe we can hook it over directly."

"Okay, then go find it!" Yu Fei thought about it and agreed. After all, climbing up would not only be dirty, but there was also the risk of collapsing the ceiling.

In no time, Lin Yang brought over a wooden pole and an iron hook, tied them together with wire, and handed them to Yu Fei.

Yu Fei noticed that the wooden pole was clearly the head of a mop that had been removed, while the iron hook was a hook for hanging things in the kitchen. He secretly praised her for her quick thinking.

Carefully, he tilted the wooden pole and inserted it into the opening first. Then Yu Fei stuck his head in, holding a flashlight in one hand and the wooden pole in the other. Yu Fei tried it and found that he could actually reach it.

And he was quite lucky; on his first try, he hooked the bottom of the wooden box and then started pulling it toward the opening.

The small wooden box is quite heavy, which means it contains a lot of good things.

He was extremely excited at this moment, which is probably why archaeologists and tomb raiders are so enthusiastic about it.
