Chapter 192 Looking for Support

After returning from the mountain, she was asked to put the jade pendant in the secret room. She didn't dare to show it at all. Don't forget that there are the so-called male and female protagonists in the village. What if those two guys see it and cause trouble?

Chen Ye rarely goes out every day. He stays at home after work, or goes up the mountain to check on the harvest. The autumn harvest has not started yet and the weather is still warm, so it is not a good time to store meat.

Gao Fei took a passing train in the middle of the night and arrived in the city at dawn. He did not stay in the city, but he was still holding half a bag of mountain products he brought from the village.

After all, he said he missed his elder brother and came to see him. He couldn't come to see his elder brother empty-handed.

There are two buses to the troops here every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. When Gao Fei got off the bus, he just happened to catch the morning one. He got on the bus in a hurry without even having breakfast.

It is said that the troops are in the city, but they are not close to the city. It takes more than two hours to get there by bus, and after arriving there, you still have to walk for a while to reach the gate of the military camp.

It was almost noon when they got there. In the past few years, Gao Fei and Cen Zixiang would occasionally come to see their eldest brother, mainly to report on the recent situation of several villagers. They didn't visit frequently, but they also visited frequently, and they became familiar with many of the soldiers here.

"Hey, Gao Fei is here, looking for your big brother?"

Gao Fei raised the bag in his hand with a smile on his face: "Yes, I haven't seen my big brother for a while. I just happened to have a lot of mountain products dried in the sun, so I brought some for my big brother to try."

"That's perfect. Captain Gao is inside. Just come over and register and you can go in."

"Okay," this is a fixed procedure, and there is no question of whether it is difficult or not.

Gao Yuan had just finished training his soldiers and returned to the office. When he heard the knock on the door, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Come in."

The door opened and the person who came in didn't hear the familiar report for a long time. When he looked up, he saw his second son coming. Gao Yuan put down the work in his hands and leaned back with a relaxed body.

"Why are you here at this time? Isn't the village about to have the autumn harvest? Last time you said you would come after the harvest. Did something happen?"

Gao Fei raised the bag in his hand and said, "The autumn harvest will not start until a few days later. I thought I'd send you some mountain products. It will take at least a month before I can come here again."

Gao Fei is a man who talks very little nonsense. He never says useless words. It was strange that he came here with so much nonsense today. After seeing his brother's gesture, he seemed to understand something.

Gao Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go. It's almost time for lunch. Are you hungry after all this trip?"

Gao Fei nodded: "I haven't eaten since last night, and I'm starving." He would never say that he had a big meal last night. That guy tied up and cooked six dishes, and he was full.

Not long after he and Cen Zixiang came here, they started to learn the skills of tying up the house. However, they did not do it for free. They took on all the heavy work in Grandpa Chen's house.

"Let's go," Gao Yuan led the way out of the office after hearing his brother talking nonsense again.

This is the office area and there are quite a lot of people. I greeted everyone as I walked along.

"Lao Gao, your brother is here. Why is there only one person here this time?"

Gao Fei quickly replied: "Zixiang had something to do, so I came here alone this time."

"Your two brothers are really good. They never come here empty-handed. As an older brother, you can't be stingy."

Gao Yuan punched the person who spoke: "You make it sound like I'm such a stingy person. How can I treat my brother so badly?"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. This kid hasn't eaten for three meals. I'm going to the cafeteria to get him something to eat."

"Then hurry up, I don't know if the cafeteria is ready at this time. If not, come find me. I have some food in the dormitory to fill your stomach."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. Just go ahead and do your work. I'll take this guy over first."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

When they reached a deserted place with no one around, Gao Yuan quietly asked Gao Fei the purpose of his visit: "Did something happen?"

From a distance, the two brothers looked like they were just chatting casually, and their facial expressions did not look serious at all as if they were discussing serious matters.

"This is a long story," To explain it clearly, I have to talk about the cause and effect, as well as my own suspicions. I don't know if I can finish it by the time I get to the cafeteria.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point." Since when did his younger brother start keeping people in suspense?

"In short, the three of us went up the mountain to dig for ginseng and found a treasure chest. There are many valuable things in it."

Gao Yuan tried hard to control his expression and not lose his composure: "What did you say? Treasure?" Has this kid become stupid from reading all this messy books?

Gao Fei almost rolled his eyes at his elder brother without caring about his image. What he said was so unbelievable. Was he the kind of person who was unreliable?

Gao Yuan also knew that he had lost his composure, mainly because his second son would never joke about such things.

"Please tell me in detail." This is too concise without any beginning or end.

"How about filling my stomach first, and then we can find a quiet place to talk slowly?" He was almost starving to death, so how could his elder brother not have any tact at all?

When he came, he was very anxious and wanted to tell his elder brother the news as soon as possible, but after he came, he suddenly seemed to be less anxious. When they passed by the mountain, they could see that there was no trace of human activity at all.

How could it be such a coincidence that just as they found the treasure, someone else found it there too.

Besides, the key is still with Ye Zi. Even if someone goes there later and gets explosives to blow the door open, how many people have the courage to do that?

Aren’t you afraid of burying yourself in it?

"You little brat, you're playing tricks on me, your brother." But he also knew that his brother was right, so it would be better not to say half of it, so that he wouldn't have to think about it when eating later.

The two brothers walked into the cafeteria while talking, and after eating, they walked around the training ground as if they were taking a walk to digest the food.

After Gao Fei told Gao Yuan the whole story, Gao Yuan frowned. He had also heard about this matter. It was said that there was a huge treasure in the Northeast, and the key to finding the treasure was a jade pendant.

Their troops are here, so they must have some control over this area. This matter has been circulating on the street, but Gao Yuan has always thought it was nonsense.

"Are you remembering correctly? The people you heard mentioning this matter were Mr. Wu and Mr. Shen?"

"That's for sure. If I hadn't happened to find that so-called treasure this time, I wouldn't have remembered what I saw."

"Why did you think of looking for treasure? Just because of that jade pendant?" Isn't this reason a bit far-fetched?
