Chapter 925: Chapter 0925: Confirming Identity 3

Feng Qingxue dared not mention the secret compartment because she feared that the workers at the waste station and the looters who ransacked the place would smash and hack the precious furniture when they couldn’t find the secret compartments, just to check if there were valuable items hidden inside.

Speaking of drawers was much simpler, they could be opened at any time.

The other party was indeed very pleased and praised them for a while, and they didn’t keep an eye on them while they rummaged through things.

Of course, the worker also opened all the drawers of the furniture, and only after finding them empty did he leave.

At dusk, as the sky grew dim, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue tied up many parts of valuable furniture and scraps of metal on a mule cart specially borrowed from the brigade. There were also bundles of old newspapers and textbooks for show, among which the most collectible was "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry," essential material for college entrance exams ten years later, which Feng Qingxue would collect on sight.

When Lu Jiang dismantled a Thousand Craftsmen’s Bed and a pair of cabinets, he also found secret compartments and treasures within.

It could be said that their return was laden with spoils, and Feng Qingxue beamed with unusual happiness.

"We must economize in the future and save money!" Feng Qingxue declared loudly on the way home.

How sad it would be to encounter desired cultural relics and paintings but have no money on hand?

In the seventies and eighties, it was an era when antiques could be bought with money. Otherwise, how would people have managed to haul away large numbers of cultural relics at low prices from the cultural departments during the period of turmoil? It was based on money, as was purchasing antiques from ordinary people.

Lu Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "After we get back, we’ll dig out all of the gold in the house."

Now was not a time of war and chaos, and compared to the cultural heritage that was on the verge of extinction, the value of gold was trivial.

"That’s a good idea. Once we dig it out, we’ll put it in the space. Whenever we need it, we can just take it out directly." Feng Qingxue agreed with Lu Jiang’s idea. "Ajiang, what do you think would happen if we stole the cultural relics that the trade department is preparing to export? Or if we replaced them with a piece of gold, letting them exchange gold for foreign currency?"

Lu Jiang tapped her head, shattering her fanciful notions. "How would you steal it? Flying through the air, vanishing into the earth? Yes, relying on my abilities, it would be easy to sneak in and clear the obstacles for you. Since people do not highly value cultural relics, the guards should not be too strict, and getting into a warehouse by picking a lock would be like entering uninhabited territory. I could even take you with me. But what about after that? Once things have calmed down, how will you take it out? If your stolen items are seen by others, then the mystery of the year’s relic theft would be solved."

With her face cupped in her hands, Feng Qingxue giggled, "How we steal them and how we return them later isn’t the point. Maybe people will even think it’s a miracle, because the fairies couldn’t bear to see their country’s cultural heritage lost overseas, so they stole it, rewarding us with a piece of gold in exchange for foreign currency, and when the country no longer destroys its cultural heritage, we’ll send it back for study and appreciation."

Lu Jiang said with amusement, "Do you really think there are fairies in this world? And their own country?"

"Then how do you explain the existence of the space? Isn’t that a fairy’s trick? I’ve always believed there must be a compassionate God who bestowed upon me a magical space to save these cultural artifacts lost to the river of history."

In fact, the greatest blessing from heaven was her arrival, which changed the life of the man before her.

Feng Qingxue’s clear eyes gazed at him, brimming with deep affection.

A feeling stirred in Lu Jiang’s heart, rendering him speechless for a long time.
