Yang Dong led his family to dig the land collectively, and it wasn't long before the news spread throughout the entire village, making everyone more convinced of the rumors that there were treasures on that plot of land. At night, everyone went there to dig secretly.
Within a few days, the land had been entirely overturned, and afterward, Yang Ming released a message that there were no treasures in the land, and their family was just digging to bury pickles. He warned that if anyone else went to dig in their land and damaged it, they would have to pay.
The villagers then calmed down and stopped digging. They also lost interest in digging because indeed nothing was dug up.
Yang Dong and a few others continued to dig large holes, waiting to bury the pickles, while Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming brought lunch at noon.
