Chapter 430: Chapter 426: Hahaha, That’s Luck!

After checking around and finding nothing, Mr. Gu Sr. nodded, "Let’s clean this up layer by layer later."

"Alright."

The students had no objections, and Wen Ran had even fewer objections. She was already tired of staying in this tiny broken place.

Yawning, she wanted to return to the surface, have a sip of warm tea, and simply sleep.

"Oh my gosh!"

Not noticing her feet, Wen Ran had no idea what she kicked, almost tumbling to the ground.

Cai Xiaowen stepped up to block her, and the two of them rolled into a heap on the ground.

"Are you okay?"

Wen Ran came to her senses and hurriedly checked Cai Xiaowen’s condition.

Cai Xiaowen grimaced in pain, "I’m fine, I’m fine, just a little hurt."

Pulled up by their seniors, Mr. Gu Sr. squatted down and looked at the fragment that nearly tripped Wen Ran.

Wen Ran cursed, "Wait, I’ll break that thing into pieces."

Mr. Gu Sr. quickly put the item in his pocket upon hearing this, "How dare you! If you touch it, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Wen Ran: "?"

She was puzzled. What, the thing that tripped her is a treasure?

Facing Wen Ran, who was out of the loop, everyone’s reaction was much more real, and they crowded around.

"Old man, why are you hiding it? Show us!"

"Exactly, we’ve been tidying this little place for days and haven’t seen anything valuable."

"Yeah, look at your treasure, take it out so we can all see."

The object in Mr. Gu Sr.’s pocket was like a long-awaited pipa woman.

Mr. Gu Sr. trembled, holding out a fragment, "Be careful, look..."

Wen Ran also looked.

Couldn’t make heads or tails out.

Just a bronze fragment, seemingly preserved fairly well?

Although it was broken into several pieces, there wasn’t much patina.

But, it wasn’t something that would make one astonished.

Wen Ran was baffled, the beauty Xu Ying howled, looking at Wen Ran with eyes almost wolf-like.

"What’s, what’s up?"

"She really is a lucky star," Mr. Gu Sr. quivered with excitement, "We’ve been wandering for so long without finding anything, she trips over something and uncovers it all."

"Oh oh oh, old man, now I understand why you insisted on bringing her here at first, her luck indeed is remarkable."

"Cough cough cough, can we talk openly about this now?"

"Probably, you know what this old man is like, can’t keep a secret to himself, must’ve spilled the truth long ago."

"Huh? Couldn’t be that soon."

"I think the time is about right."

"Me too..."

Everyone discussed it noisily, and Wen Ran was amused listening.

How to put it, the saying is indeed wise.

Once a teacher, always a parent.

No one knows better than the children what their parents are like.

"What’s going on?"

Wen Ran didn’t understand and didn’t hold back, pulling the closest to her, Cai Xiaowen, to inquire, "Everyone’s acting like they’re hiding something. Is that thing holding a treasure?"

She boldly speculated, "Made of gold inlaid jade? Or is the outer bronze just a cover-up, with gold inside or outer space meteorite?"

Seeing Wen Ran’s imagination run wild, Cai Xiaowen laughed, "No, it’s just a bronze fragment."

What makes it precious is the writing on it.

With text or without, its research value could be groundbreaking.

At least it could prove there’s a story to be discovered in this pit, or perhaps a historical event not recorded in books.

Just the thought excited Cai Xiaowen as well.

Tombs are common, and gold and jade burial items too, but ones with inscriptions aren’t.

Everyone was excited, except Wen Ran, who felt lonely.

Indeed.

Just a small pit, nothing really interesting.

Ultimately, Wen Ran followed Cai Xiaowen out of the pit, returned to the camp, ate something, and prepared to rest, while Cai Xiaowen was already energized.

She grabbed her lights and quickly went back down.

Wen Ran: "???"

Helpless, she hugged her blanket, scratched her head, and muttered, "Wow, they’re really made of iron, huh."

Enduring so much travel and toil, don’t they feel tired?

Fine, fine, Wen Ran couldn’t care less, instead held her lost and found Hetao and Red Army, wanting a harmonious sleep with them.

But...

This sort of thing isn’t to be taken too seriously.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Ran incredulously opened her eyes, sat up utterly irritated, "No way, you two filthy things, how long has it been since your last bath? I feel like you’re gonna stink to death."

Hetao innocently shifted his plump and robust body, indicating he found Wen Ran bothersome.

Yesterday cuddling them, no complaints, and so soon it changed.

Women~~

Wen Ran wanted to convince herself not to be picky, to hold them anyway, but once she did, she felt a bit suffocated.

"Forget it."

Wen Ran was optimistic too, kicking Hetao and Red Army away, wrapped herself in her blanket, and turned over to sleep.

Don’t force.

Better get some sleep first.

Tomorrow, at noon and when the sun is out, she’ll give them a good bath.

The stink, oh my~

...

The night was long, and Wen Ran slept soundly.

Next morning, when she got up, everyone was already working.

Initially, Wen Ran felt a bit embarrassed.

But then considered, it’s not like she’s being paid for this, why feel embarrassed?

Splash water!

Start splashing right now!

"Awake?"

Cai Xiaowen wiped the sweat off her forehead, smiled, "Your sleep quality is impressive. We were worried we’d wake you up when getting up."

But...

Turn over, sleep immediately continues.

"That’s alright," Wen Ran said indifferently, "Young people sleep a lot."

"Hungry?"

Xu Ying’s attitude towards Wen Ran was exceedingly gentle, "Breakfast will be ready and delivered to us later.

There’s water over there, you can wash up first."

"Okay."

Looking at the endless plain, Wen Ran asked curiously, "Any water pools nearby?"

"Yes, about a kilometer away, there’s a small water pool, why?"

"Nothing, the wolves and dogs I brought stink so badly, I think they’re gonna go rotten. Figured once the sun’s out, I’d toss them in the pool for a wash."

With good sun, make a small fire to dry their fur through, should be no issue.

After saying that, Wen Ran paused, "Do I not need to do anything today?"
