Then he turned around and spoke to the educated youth with a frank face.
"Thank you, fellow educated youths! However, today's situation is truly dangerous, so you should all go back!"
"If anything were to happen to you because of what happened today, and the higher-ups investigated us, how would we explain it to them? So, you see, just think of it as being considerate of us old farmers!"
Seeing what Old Man Li said, the educated youth became unhappy.
"Oh, no, Uncle Li, what do you think of us educated youth? What? In your eyes, we are just timid people?"
"Besides, right now, the entire team is facing a life-or-death situation. Are we supposed to hide behind you and ask you to protect us instead of facing it together?"
"Besides, we educated youth originally came here to support rural development. Isn't this just right?"
Old man Li wanted to say something, but at this moment, the team leader spoke.
"Okay, it's getting late. Since you want to follow, then go together. Just be sure to protect yourselves!"
Since the captain has said so, what else can Old Man Li say?
In this way, a group of people went up the mountain in a mighty manner.
Old man Li also followed the large group forward. As a result, when he turned around, he saw that his wife Niu Cuihua was also following him.
When he saw this scene, Old Man Li became anxious.
He walked up to Niu Cuihua in two or three steps and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"What are you doing out of the blue? Who asked you to follow me?"
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Why can't I go? What's the matter? Only you gentlemen are allowed to go, but I, an old woman, am not allowed to go, right?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind and will not drag you down. You don't have to worry so much!"
Old man Li knew what the old woman looked like. He glanced at Niu Cuihua and spoke directly.
"Who are you? You thought I didn't know you. It was easy to deal with when you were young, but now, I guess you're too tired before you even reach the mountain. Now, old woman, don't be stubborn and go back quickly!"
Li Dashu, who was standing by, also agreed.
"That's right, auntie, you should go home quickly. Are you worried about my uncle? Don't worry, with us here, my uncle will be fine!"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua took a sip immediately.
"Bah, who's worried about him? Dashu, what are you talking about? What's the matter? Can't I just be curious about what those people are doing?"
Hearing her say this, Dashu looked at Old Man Li helplessly.
"Okay, uncle, since Auntie has said so, I have no choice. Otherwise, let Auntie come with us. There are so many of us anyway, so there will be no problem!"
Niu Cuihua had made up her mind to go up the mountain. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Old Man Li sighed helplessly.
"Okay, if you want to follow, go ahead. But let's make a deal first. You'll just follow behind, and you can't rush ahead!"
Seeing the old man nagging on and on, Niu Cuihua spoke impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I know everything. Just stop talking, okay?"
"Didn't you say no to making noise? You keep talking. Aren't you afraid of attracting attention?"
Niu Cuihua was getting impatient. Old Man Li wanted to say something else, but seeing his wife's ugly expression, he could only sigh helplessly!
After walking for a while, someone couldn't resist their curiosity and asked.
"Captain, do you think there is really a treasure on our mountain?"
Li Tiezhu glanced at the man who asked the question. Knowing that he was the man of Li Daniu and Miao Xiumei, he did not answer his question, but changed the subject and asked him.
"What? What does the presence or absence of treasure have to do with you? Are you going to dig in the mountains again?"
Li Daniu shook his head. "How could that be? I'm just asking. Captain, please don't be angry. I'm exhausted earning work points every day. How could I have the energy to come up this mountain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately took over, "Whether we go up the mountain or not, the children at home can come. They have nothing to do at home all day long, so it's okay for them to run around in the mountains!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of people around immediately echoed them.
"That's right!"
Seeing that the voices of this group of people were getting louder and louder, Li Tiezhu hurriedly interrupted them.
"Okay, what are you doing? Don't forget what I said when you came here!"
After hearing what he said, everyone realized that they were indeed arguing a little too loudly!
After everyone shut up, Li Tiezhu spoke.
"Okay, stop thinking about those nonsense. Have you forgotten that several waves of experts came here before and failed to find the treasure? Do you think you, a bunch of blind people, can find it?"
After hearing what the captain said, everyone looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, it was extremely awkward!
Yes, the captain is right. If a group of ordinary people like them can find something that the experts can't find, it would be like pie in the sky. But you don't have to think about it to know that this is impossible!
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Li Tiezhu spoke again.
"Alright, alright, don't be depressed. We just need to live our lives honestly and don't think about those things. They have nothing to do with us!"
"Besides, even if there really is a treasure, it belongs to the country. What does it have to do with us? Do you dare to keep it to yourself? Aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will find you?"
Everyone who was still hoping for a lucky break agreed after hearing what the captain said!
That's right. Even if there is something there, it belongs to the country. If they hide it privately, they might end up in jail. They don't dare to take that risk!
Li Mingxi had no idea what was happening down the mountain. She was looking at the situation in front of her with a speechless expression!
Because of Huo Jingchen's instigation, the second brother no longer believed in Chun Ge. As a result, the group of people they brought with them split into two groups.
However, although they were two groups, they still followed Chun Ge's instructions and turned over the stones.
"Brother Chun, are you sure? Is there something under this rock?"
Chun Ge looked at the big rock in front of him with confidence.
"Yes, there is. Turn it over quickly!"
Hearing this, the man who was talking to Chun Ge looked at him with an indescribable expression.
"No way, Chun Ge, this rock is so big, how are we going to turn it over? We don't have any tools here!"
Chun Ge said with a determined look, "You guys figure this out on your own, I don't care, there must be something underneath!"
Seeing Chun Ge's firm attitude, the man knew that he couldn't shake his idea, so he spoke, "We can move it, but we need to find a few more brothers. It's not enough for just the two of us!"
Chun Ge nodded, then turned and looked at Huo Jingchen beside him.
The meaning was obvious, but I don’t know if Huo Jingchen didn’t understand it, or what, he just ignored him!
But the second one on the side casually called two people to help!
