Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 378

As the chest opened, Xinyan swiftly left the spot and crouched down, fearing for her life as if it were a scene from a modern television show.

But after waiting for a long time, aside from the sound the chest made when it opened, nothing else happened.

Summoning her courage, she stood up, observed for a while, and then cautiously walked towards it.

When she got closer, she discovered that the chest was filled with rolls of large silver coins. Although she was mentally prepared, seeing the real thing made her heart race uncontrollably.

Oh my, although this chest isn’t very large, the total amount in it is considerable.

After the founding of New China, the circulation of silver dollars was prohibited, replaced by the unified use of Renminbi. These things must have been stored here for a very long time.

Seeing that the first chest posed no danger, Xinyan’s courage grew. She realized she’d been too influenced by modern television plots, overthinking things.

She raised her hand and opened another chest beside it. This one was full of silver ingots. Xinyan clutched her wildly beating heart. My goodness, she really struck it lucky this time.

This stuff had been hidden here for so many years without being discovered, making it essentially a stroke of luck for her.

Noting that it was getting late, she knew she couldn’t delay any longer and had to find a way to leave. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to calm herself down.

She stored each and every chest in her space warehouse, planning to examine them later when she had time.

She turned around the cave without finding any other mechanisms. Considering the previous hole she came through, she realized she didn’t have the ability to climb back up, as it was too high.

Additionally, she had already observed that while the plants near the hole were lush, there were few vines strong enough to support her weight. Climbing back up the same way was practically impossible unless someone above dropped a rope.

Feeling anxious now, with sweat on her forehead, she decided that if that way wasn’t feasible, she must find an alternative along the cliff. She took out a machete from her space and cut through some vines to assess the situation outside.

She didn’t foolishly crawl out directly but instead used the machete to strike the vines for quite a while, fearing any slithering creatures, as she couldn’t stand them.

Seeing it was safe, she carefully poked her head out. The cliff was about twenty or thirty meters above the ground. Below was a gentle slope leading down into a valley. If she could get down, she saw that by following the valley westward, she could make her way out.

The current problem was figuring out how to get down the cliff.

Leaning half her body out, she found many sturdy vines on this side of the cliff. She tugged on them and found them quite strong, thinking she might use them to climb down.

Unfortunately, there were no ropes or similar items in her space, so she realized she’d need to keep some on hand in the future as a precaution.

With no better option, Xinyan wasted no more time. If she couldn’t make it out of the forest by nightfall, He Jinxuan would be worried. She didn’t want to become famous once more.

The backpack she used to chase a silly deer was already stored inside her space, preparing her for this endeavor and saving her from much trouble. To grip the vines better, she also stored the machete away.

Slowly, she squeezed out from the cliff. Luckily, she wasn’t afraid of heights, or she wouldn’t know what to do.

Her body, refined by space water, was agile. Combined with her martial arts training, the descent was surprisingly smooth, despite missing her foothold a few times, causing minor bruises to her knees.

Even so, it still took her half an hour to climb down the cliff.

Her calves were trembling when she landed, as this was her first time experiencing such a thing.

Next, she had to make her way down to the valley below and continue walking west along the valley to get out.

The slope was steep, making the descent quite challenging. Thankfully, the machete in her hand was a huge help, clearing the path.

After nearly another hour, she finally reached the valley floor. The journey was filled with shrubs and thorns, but the path was relatively clear, saving her life.

Apparently, this treasure wasn’t something anyone could easily obtain. Without her space and skills, she wouldn’t have gotten the treasure and might have been trapped there.

After all, this was a deep mountain. Who would come here to search for a person?

Looking at her clothes, they resembled rags, and her current appearance probably matched them well.

Checking her watch, she saw it was already past three o’clock in the afternoon. Xinyan dared not stop to rest, thinking she must leave the forest before the light faded.

Thus, she trudged on for another half an hour through difficult terrain, encountering another patch of shrubs, requiring her to either detour along the slope or carve out a path.
