Chapter 11: Remove the firewood from under the cauldron and take the lead

He planned to go find Li Baojun. Since they were on guard against him, he would cut off the source of their trouble.

You are thinking about those treasures, right? Then he will take Li Baojun to find them and won't leave any for them.

Anyway, they didn't want to give themselves any of it.

"You stay at home and I'll go find a security guard. What happened last night was not simple. I'll tell you later." There were people working in the fields over there during the day, so it was definitely not possible to go there during the day.

But, it’s okay after dinner.

The land has just been plowed in the spring and there is not much work to do in the fields. We are just waiting for the rice seedlings to sprout, and it is still early.

So, he and Baojun had time to investigate.

"Okay, be careful." Nothing is more important than their safety. "Nothing is more important than you."

"Don't worry, we will."

Su Zhongguo went out, not only him, but Su Zhongfu also went out.

But the two were not heading in the same direction.

Su Zhongguo went to the neighboring Lijia Village, while Su Zhongfu went to the town, one heading south and the other west.

When Li Baojun saw his brother-in-law coming, he thought something had happened at home again.

"Brother-in-law, has something happened to mother and sister?" He welcomed his brother-in-law into the house with a worried look on his face.

His wife also came out of the house when he spoke.

She was also worried about her sister's family. After all, her sister's parents-in-law were not good people. But she was also happy in her heart because she was lucky enough to marry into the Li family and have a very good pair of parents-in-law.

This is the damn competitive nature of women.

"Don't talk in the yard, it's windy. Come into the house quickly. Dad is still in the house. Don't make him worry." My father-in-law has been feeling unwell recently and has been staying in the house, not daring to be exposed to the wind.

After hearing what his wife said, Li Baojun also shut up. Su Zhongguo greeted his brother and sister-in-law and followed them into the house.

In the kitchen, Father Li had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two of them come in, he immediately asked, "Is there something wrong at home? Are your wife and mother okay?"

Listening to his father-in-law's worried words, Su Zhongguo felt very sad. Why didn't he have such a good father?

"Dad is fine, Mom and Guixiang are fine. I came here to find Baojun." There were some things he didn't want his father-in-law to know. After all, the old man was not in good health.

When he heard that his daughter was not in trouble, Father Li felt relieved. He coughed twice and let the two of them handle it themselves.

"Okay then, tell Baojun."

Lin Qiujuan poured a cup of hot water for Su Zhongguo. When she heard that the two had something to talk about, she said to them, "Take the water and go to the main hall to talk."

Although she didn't know what it was, since her father-in-law didn't listen, she naturally wouldn't listen to it either.

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."

When they arrived at the main hall, Su Zhongguo told Li Baojun the purpose of his visit. Li Baojun never thought that his brother-in-law came to him to ask him to go treasure hunting together.

You know, the Su family has three brothers. No matter how close he is to his brothers, he is still an outsider.

"Brother-in-law, will your family agree to this?" The Su family was a group of unreasonable people, and he didn't want to quarrel with them over this matter. If so, his sister would be the one in trouble.

Su Zhongguo knew what he was worried about, so he told him about his father's plan to get rich without telling him.

"This is outrageous! How could they do this to you, brother-in-law? Isn't there any of your brothers who can try to persuade them?" He could understand his parents' partiality. After all, he was also a beneficiary and could not say anything to his parents.

But, we can’t always follow our parents and be partial to each other. If we do that, are we still brothers?

Su Zhongguo smiled bitterly, "Do you think they will?" There is no good person in the Su family. How could they help him? They all look down on his small family for having too many people but not enough effort.

"I have discussed this with your sister. Don't feel burdened. If we really find something good, we will split it in half." This was the division he had thought of a long time ago.

Compared to his two younger brothers, this uncle is more like his biological brother.

"Since my sister has agreed, I will go with you tonight, but what if we run into Su Zhongfu and the others?" They can go, but there are more than just the two of them who know about the place.

"Don't worry, they won't be going for a while, and my dad won't let them go." He knew his family very well.

With such a large sum of money, how could his father let his son take it?

At the very least, he had to be there in person, otherwise she wouldn't believe anyone.

Li Baojun agreed and left home with his brother-in-law.

As soon as they left, Lin Qiujuan became very worried.

"Dad, will my eldest sister be okay?" The Li family has a good atmosphere. There are only two brothers and sisters, so there are not many quarrels, and the relationship is very deep.

It is normal for a sister-in-law to worry about her.

"No, your eldest sister is smart. If something really happens, it may not be your eldest sister." Although he didn't know why his sons and the others went out, seeing how happy they were, he thought it was not a bad thing.

"Don't worry, just keep an eye on Xiaojin. You'll know what's going on when Baojun comes back."

The other side.

Li Baojun and Su Zhongguo did not go home directly after leaving.

Instead, he went to the place where Su Zhongfu and his team were digging for treasure.

Since it was broad daylight, it was natural that we would bump into people.

However, seeing that they were carrying axes and ropes, I thought they were going up the mountain to chop wood, so I just said hello.

They did go into the mountain, but they waited on the mountain for the people around them to go back.

It was cold in March and there was not much work to do in the fields, so most of the people working there had left before dark.

"While there is still light, let's go to the creek that my brother-in-law mentioned." After looking around, Li Baojun stood up and said to Su Zhongguo.

Su Zhongguo has no objection.

"good."

In fact, the stream was very shallow. He had seen the box that Su Zhongfu and his men brought back. Such a shallow area naturally could not hide the box.

You can only look for it in some deeper puddles.

Hard work pays off, and after searching for a while, the two found a deep water area hidden under the reef.

After looking at the surrounding environment, Su Zhongguo found that the stones around here were very sharp. It seemed that his father was injured here.

"Be careful, Baojun. The stone knives here are very sharp."

Li Baojun used a hatchet to scrape the stones in the water, and it was exactly as his brother-in-law said.

"Okay, brother-in-law, you should be careful too."

After dealing with the stone knife under the water, the two waited for the water to clear and found that there were gold ingots under the water.

This thing is not something that is used these days. The two of them looked at each other and dived down without saying a word.

To prevent accidents, the two men tied ropes to a big tree outside to prevent themselves from getting out in case of an accident underground.

They originally thought that there were some gold ingots underwater, but when they actually went into the water, they discovered that there was actually a black hole in the reef.

The two of them had no lighting supplies and were afraid to move forward for a moment.

Su Zhongguo was also afraid that something might happen to his brother-in-law, so he didn't dare let him in.

He gestured twice, meaning to go out first and talk later.

After coming out of the water, Li Baojun spoke first: "Brother-in-law, I'm afraid there is a treasure trove underneath, but I don't know who hid it." He said in surprise and curiosity.

Su Zhongguo was not much better than him and also wanted to go in and take a look.
