She wants to stage an accidental death so she can take for herself the courtyard house and gold bars left by Shen Ye’s parents. The original Xiao Ye drowns, and the Horse of the Chinese Zodiac takes possession of his body. Xiao Ye himself belongs to the Fire element, so he instantly melts the ice and climbs out. Enraged, he realizes he hasn’t died and has instead awakened the ability to “sense heaven and earth” after coming close to death. Xiao Ye returns home and, in front of the whole village, points at his uncle’s pigsty and shouts, “There’s gold my dad left for me buried here!” His uncle’s family panics. The villagers dig it up and find gold bars, along with the account books proving that the family embezzled public funds from the production team! With the evidence conclusive, the Public Security Bureau takes his uncle’s family away. But Xiao Ye points toward the barren hills in the distance and says, “There’s black oil there, petroleum. It can save the country!” No one believes a child, except for his seven uncles, who hurry over. His seventh uncle is a geologist and had returned for the funeral. Half-convinced, he takes Xiao Ye to survey the site. The drill goes down, and oil gushes out! Xiao Ye is immediately declared a “national treasure.” He can find not only oil, but uranium deposits and water sources too!
