Chapter 1013 Treasure (1)
The next day, Liu Jingxue got up early before dawn, washed up, and went to the cowshed.
When she arrived with the things, several people in the cowshed had already gotten up.
Liu Jingxue didn’t know whether they had not slept all night or had really gotten up early.
Breakfast is ready, and Grandpa Zou and my second brother are eating there.
Seeing Liu Jingxue coming, Wang Xiulan hurriedly brought her the breakfast she had prepared and asked her to eat quickly so that she would have the strength to pick things up later.
After the meal, although they were reluctant to leave, they were worried that they would run into villagers who got up early when daybreak. Mr. Wu, Liu Weihua, and Wang Xiulan repeatedly reminded Mr. Zou to find a way to contact them if possible, and then urged them to get on the road quickly.
Because of her height, Liu Jingxue used a wooden stick to carry the two large packages she had prepared, as well as Mr. Zou's luggage.
Liu Jianjun, on the other hand, was carrying two large jars of wine weighing one hundred kilograms, plus a four-wheeled flatbed cart that Liu Jingxue had asked Tuanzi to prepare.
As for Mr. Zou, he took part in the battle himself.
Why do we need to prepare a four-wheel flatbed truck? There is no other way.
It took nearly two hours for a ox cart to get from the Red Star Production Team to the town.
After all, Mr. Zou is old, and in order to keep it secret, he can't send the person in a ox cart.
If he were really asked to walk there, firstly, his body wouldn't be able to handle it, and secondly, it would be too time-consuming.
Therefore, when Liu Weihua reminded Mr. Zou to bring more ginseng wine yesterday, Liu Jingxue asked Tuanzi to make a frame for carrying the wine in the space, and also asked it to make a simple four-wheeled cart for Mr. Zou to get around.
They lived at the end of the village, and if they blatantly left the village to do something strange, even though it was still dark, they would be worried about running into people who got up early or stayed up late.
So the three of them went up the mountain from an entrance not far away, intending to go around the mountain to the outside of the village.
Since we have to go around the mountain, flatbed trucks are not available, so Zou has to rely on himself for this section of the journey.
The two men accommodated his pace and let him walk between them, slowly walking out of the village.
After finally getting around the village and down the mountain, Mr. Zou, who refused to accept his old age, originally planned to walk by himself instead of riding on a flatbed cart to be towed forward.
But after walking for a while, he felt sorry for the brother and sister who were carrying heavy objects and trying to suppress their pace to accommodate his speed, so he took the initiative to ask to sit on the flatbed cart and let Liu Jianjun tow them.
Although he knew that Liu Jingxue was stronger than Liu Jianjun, Mr. Zou was still worried about tiring Liu Jingxue.
As for Liu Jianjun, I'm sorry, but in his opinion, boys have to suffer more and work harder, and cannot be spoiled too much.
Besides, his weight of over 100 pounds is nothing to Liu Jianjun, who has to bear thousands of pounds of strength.
Grandpa Zou got on the flatbed truck, and Liu Jianjun and Liu Jingxue quickened their pace and headed towards the town.
Liu Jianjun was worried that the uneven road surface was too bumpy and would make Mr. Zou uncomfortable, so he deliberately chose a relatively flat road to walk on.
Halfway through the journey, I saw that the surroundings were empty and there was no place to hide.
Apart from the three of them, there was no one else on the road, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped, so Liu Jingxue planned to tell others about the treasure in the mountains.
Seeing Mr. Zou sitting cross-legged on the flatbed, leisurely looking around, Liu Jingxue spoke softly,
"Grandpa Zou, there is something that I have been holding in my heart for a long time, but I have never spoken it out.
Now that you are leaving, I think I should still tell you about this matter, so you can think about it."
Seeing Liu Jingxue speak so seriously, Mr. Zou couldn't help but look over, and even Liu Jianjun looked at her curiously.
"Xiaoxue, what have you been holding back for so long?
Tell me, Grandpa Zou, I will make the decision for you."
"Grandpa Zou, do you still remember why the spy Li Jie came to the Red Star Production Team and why he always went to the mountains to hang out?"
Mr. Zou thought about it and finally remembered who Li Jie was and what happened that year.
"I remember that he seemed to come for the treasures that the Japanese hid in the mountains when they evacuated.
The treasures have been found and handed over by the warriors who followed him. "
He glanced at Liu Jingxue and said, "You were the one who told us about this.
A soldier came and gave you a reward. I heard it was quite a lot."
"Why, what you want to say is related to this?"
Liu Jingxue smiled at the two of them sheepishly, "I was thinking that maybe not all the treasures have been found.
Or maybe the treasure hidden by that group of Japanese devils has been found, but the treasure hidden by others may not have been found yet.
I heard stories from my grandparents about how the high-ranking officials, wealthy people, and even the royal family in ancient times all liked to hide treasures in the mountains and forests to leave them to future generations.
She scratched her head and said, "So after that incident, I had nothing to do, so I went to the mountains to see if I could find the treasure."
After hearing this, Liu Jianjun burst into laughter.
"Little sister, you are really a money-grubber. Do you believe such words?"
Mr. Zou was also laughing, "Other people listen to stories, just for the sake of listening, at most they dream of accidentally finding a treasure and becoming rich overnight.
But you actually took action.”
"After you came here, you only worked half a day except for the autumn harvest.
I don't see you interacting much with other people in the village, and I rarely see you on weekdays.
You didn't spend all your free time looking for treasure in the mountains, did you? "
All the scattered treasures that Liu Jingxue found on the mountain were integrated into the large treasure trove that was hollowed out of the mountain.
But the treasures she brought back from the Japanese were too many to fit in one cave, so she placed them in several places.
It would take more than one day to find so many treasures.
Therefore, when Grandpa Zou asked her if she went to the mountains to hunt for treasure whenever she had free time, Liu Jingxue did not deny it.
“Originally, I just did it on a whim, thought it was fun, and planned to have some fun.
Just have some fun and kill some time while looking for medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, it would be too boring to stay at home alone every day.
But after I found a treasure trove and discovered a lot of treasure, I realized that it was not just a legend but a real thing, and I became more excited. "
Liu Jianjun stumbled when he heard this. After finally stabilizing himself, he simply stopped and looked at Liu Jingxue in disbelief.
"Little sister, did you really find treasure in the mountains?"
Zou Lao's voice also sounded at the same time, "Xiaoxue, did you really find the treasure?"
Liu Jingxue didn't keep it a secret and nodded directly, "I found it, and there's more than one place."
She deliberately counted on her fingers and said, "I found five, some big and some small."
Seeing Liu Jianjun stop and stand still, the flatbed truck that Grandpa Zou was riding in also stopped after moving forward for a distance due to inertia.
Liu Jingxue simply stopped, put the burden on the ground, and planned to have a good talk with the two of them.
She deliberately made a bitter face and said, “Originally, I planned to find the treasure, hide it secretly, and become a wealthy woman.
But I didn’t expect that there were so many treasures in those treasure troves, so many that I didn’t dare to be greedy at all.”
"Grandpa Zou, have you ever seen a mountain that is almost hollowed out and filled with treasure chests?
I opened the boxes outside and took a look. There were boxes full of gold bars, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
But I don’t understand these things, and I don’t know if it’s true or not, but judging from the dust on the box, it’s probably quite old.”
"Moreover, the mechanism of that treasure hiding place is so cleverly designed that if we hadn't found a high-grade ginseng and accidentally touched the mechanism, we wouldn't have discovered it at all."
"There are several other treasure sites, and they are also filled with boxes."
