Seeing him coming out carrying a small box, he kept patting the dirt off it as he walked. Liu Shimei asked curiously, "Did you dig this up?"
Curiosity killed the cat, but she really wanted to know what her silly puppy had hidden!
The silly dog looked proud, carrying the box outside. He opened it on the spot and said, "Wife, these are all for you!"
Liu Shimei was speechless about his lack of sophistication. The two of them crouched by the rockery and opened the treasure chest!
The sandalwood box must have been buried in the ground for quite some years; there were signs of corrosion around the edges, and the patterns were somewhat damaged, not perfectly intact.
But sandalwood was excellent material, still very sturdy. The contents inside were wrapped in oil paper and remained undamaged.
