Chapter 12: Take all the unexpected wealth away
"But it's dark inside and we don't have any lighting tools. How can we get in?" That's underwater, who knows if it will be full of water.
He didn't dare take any risks.
"I'm a good swimmer. Let me go in and take a look. You wait for me outside. If anything happens, I'll pull the rope." Li Baojun suggested.
Su Zhongguo naturally didn't want to. What if something happened? "No, I'll go in if I have to. You wait outside."
He is also a good swimmer. We are all from the mountains, and everyone has experienced climbing mountains and swimming in rivers.
Seeing that his brother-in-law disagreed, Li Baojun didn't know how to convince him, "We can't just go back like this." He took out a gold ingot from his arms.
"There are such good things outside, and we don't know what is hidden inside. Brother-in-law, are you willing to give the things to others?" He had no choice but to tempt.
Su Zhongguo was naturally unhappy.
"I'll go, you wait outside," Su Zhongguo hardened his heart and took off his clothes.
Even the coldest late spring weather couldn't freeze his excited heart at this moment.
Li Baojun was helpless. "That's fine, brother-in-law, you go down and check it out. If it doesn't work, I'll take over."
In this way, the two began to explore the treasure in the black hole.
Fortunately, Su Zhongguo discovered that this black hole was unusual after entering it for the first time. There was no water inside.
He was not in a hurry to go in, so he sank to the bottom of the water and waited to get out.
Outside, Li Baojun, who was waiting, noticed that the rope was moving, and he immediately pulled it hard.
After a while, I saw my brother-in-law coming out of the black hole.
After the people emerged from the water, he anxiously asked, "How is it? What's going on in there?"
After taking a breath, Su Zhongguo told the situation inside the black hole.
Li Baojun was amazed after hearing this.
"I didn't expect there really is a treasure here. I just don't know who hid it. Come on, brother-in-law, let's go in." He was getting impatient at this moment.
Anyone who knows there are good things inside would be anxious.
Su Zhongguo stopped him and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's make two torches first. It's very dark in there. Then take the flint. Don't go in blindly." As he spoke, he started to act.
This is a shady place, and as long as you don't get too close, you won't notice anyone is by the water. Besides, they are close to the reef, and no one can see them clearly unless they go into the water.
I have to say that Su's father was lucky at that time. He could find things underwater. If they were on the roadside, people would not be curious about them. But he could find things hidden here. It would take a lot of luck to find them.
"My brother-in-law is really thoughtful. I was wondering why he asked me to bring tung oil. It turns out that my brother-in-law had already thought of it." Li Baojun completely deified his brother-in-law at this time.
Su Zhongguo's lips twitched when he heard this. If he had this ability, how could he have been bullied for so many years?
I just thought that we were in the mountains and I was afraid of encountering wild animals, so I brought tung oil with me. I couldn't bring candles.
After the preparations were completed, the two wrapped the things in clothes and then went into the water along the rope.
When they reached the black hole in the reef, the two immediately went ashore. It was dark, very dark, so dark that it was scary.
There was only the sound of two people breathing.
After a while, a ray of light appeared, which dispelled the terror in the darkness.
With the light of the fire, the surrounding environment also appeared before our eyes.
It is just a cave with a stone door. I think the rising and falling of the stream over the years has washed out a hole in the ground, causing the things here to fall in.
Looking around, I also saw the fallen boxes not far away.
There are quite a few, big and small.
"Brother-in-law, has there been any powerful people in your village before? How could there be such things in this deep mountain?" Li Baojun kicked the damaged boxes and found that there were a lot of porcelains crushed under the boxes, as well as gold and silver ingots, and a lot of scattered jewelry, etc.
There are also some books, but unfortunately, they are so rotten that they cannot be any worse.
"I don't know either. I haven't heard the old people say it, but across the deep mountains on our side is the former Liangshan Village. What do you think..." Su Zhongguo was more inclined to believe those bandits in the past.
Looking at the dilapidated appearance of this place, it can only be the things left behind by those people. The bandit suppression back then was a sensation, so it’s hard not to know about it.
Li Baojun also knew about and heard about the bandit suppression. "It seems that those people hid it. This is a good thing for us." He was happy.
With these things, our family's life can be improved. We are all rural earners and don't have much money. Now we still have the work point system, so it is not easy to save some money.
"That's right, don't touch these broken things. Put the good ones together and we will take them out later." Su Zhongguo was also excited. With these things, he would have the confidence to raise his children even if he had to leave the house with nothing.
The two of them were counting things. There were quite a lot of things. After counting, there were three large boxes, which they could not take back in one go.
"What should I do with my brother-in-law?" Looking at the three heavy boxes, Li Baojun looked at his brother-in-law in embarrassment.
Su Zhongguo was quick-witted, "It's okay, let's work overtime tonight. It'll take some effort and time to get this big box out first." After thinking about it, he was afraid that his father would ask his two younger brothers to come on a whim, so he felt it would be safer to get the things out.
Li Baojun naturally agreed and said, "I'll listen to my brother-in-law, but where should we put the things after we take them out?" My brother-in-law's house is close to here, but it is definitely not a good idea to put them there.
But what Li Baojun didn't expect was that his brother-in-law suggested putting the things at his house without even thinking about it.
"Let's go home and let Dad keep an eye on it. We'll work hard tonight and get these three boxes out."
The three large boxes contained not only gold and silver ingots, but also some jewelry, books, and some undamaged porcelain.
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law."
The two men lowered a large box into the water and then went into the water together.
Back in the creek, the two put on their wet clothes. Although it was cold, they were obviously a little drunk and didn't feel the cold.
There is still a surge of motivation in my heart.
Mr. Li felt light-headed. When he heard the noise, he came out to open the door and saw his son and son-in-law carrying a large box.
"Come in quickly." Without asking any more questions, he let the person in first.
After carrying the box into the main house, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Father Li's eyes were full of confusion.
Li Baojun explained to his father and told him about his and his brother-in-law's discoveries and plans.
Father Li stared at Su Zhongguo for a long time before he sighed, "Your parents are biased." There was heartache in his eyes and worry about his son-in-law.
He opened the box and looked inside, and was shocked by what was inside.
With a snap, he immediately closed the box.
"How many more?"
Su Zhongguo smiled, knowing that his father-in-law was worried about him, "There are still two boxes, not many."
"There is no time to lose. Go quickly. I'll be waiting for you at home." He had never seen these things in his life.
The two smiled softly, "Okay, thank you for watching the door for us, Dad."
They worked until three or four in the middle of the night, and finally brought all the treasures they found in the creek back to the Li family.
Su Zhongguo also slept directly at Li's house.
