Chapter 166: Not the life of a young lady, but the disease of a young lady



Facing Yin Jiaming's harsh questioning, Lu Jianguo, who hadn't even had a sip of water, responded in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Xizhang Cailiang was also very angry when he saw that the box was empty.

Zhang Cailiang picked up the knife again: "Boss, this old guy is very cunning, I will teach him a lesson."

What Yin Jiaming cared about was not the gold, but the things inside the box.

Apparently he had known that there was a secret about the box, so he used the lock that was almost broken to find the groove on the left side of the bottom of the box and pushed it in. With a click, densely packed small seal characters appeared under the box.

Unlike He Ting who deduced and researched on paper and then pondered over it for a long time.

Yin Jiaming directly took out a piece of paper.

Facing the small seal script copied on the paper, he began to operate by marking the embossed characters.

After about an incense stick of time, he was sweating profusely and finally opened the top layer of the box, revealing the parchment inside.

"Boss, this is it?"

Zhao Xizhang was very happy, but he was also afraid that it was just a dream.

Their breathing almost stopped, and they gathered next to Yin Jiaming and looked at the parchment together.

It was not until Yin Jiaming nodded affirmatively that Zhao Xizhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've found the location, now we just have to dig the stuff out."

Zhang Cailiang was very anxious: "Boss, let's go deep into the mountains tomorrow according to the address and find the place where the things are buried."

Yin Jiaming glanced at Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao, as if he was weighing something.

When Yin Jiaming and others first found the box, Lu Jianguo was secretly happy because at least his son Lu Wenhua would not be implicated.

But now the way Yin Jiaming looked at him made Lu Jianguo very scared.

He felt the suffocation of death.

He realized that what Yin Jiaming and the others were looking for was not gold, but the parchment in his hand.

Now that the thing has been found, it means that he and Lu Jiaojiao are not safe. With the sinister and vicious styles of these people in front of them, it is very likely that they will lose their lives in the mountains.

With just a look from Yin Jiaming, Zhang Cailiang would immediately feel relieved.

"Boss, kill them both first."

Lu Jiaojiao looked at Yin Jiaming pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

Yin Jiaming thought about it and shook his head: "Not yet. Although this map is probably real, I am not completely sure that I will find the treasure."

"Let's knock them out and throw them into the cave. If we fail in our mission, they won't survive."

In fact, from the very beginning, Yin Jiaming never thought of letting Lu Jiaojiao and Lu Jianguo live.

The reason for keeping something in reserve is just to prevent someone from tampering with the parchment.

There will still be a time when Lu Jianguo can be of use.

Or if they need to delay time when digging for treasure, they can use the bodies of Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao to divert attention.

"Everyone in the team now thinks that Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao followed Tang Yuanliang's group into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. They plan to stay in the mountains for three days. If the herb-collecting team goes down the mountain and Tang Yuanliang doesn't find Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao returning to the team, then we will be exposed."

"So, we only have three days."

Yin Jiaming instructed Zhao Xi: "I will go to the mountains with Xiao Zhang according to this address. You should go down the mountain tonight and report to the county town about the sheepskin map. Ask the organization to send someone to pick us up as soon as possible."

"I'll make a copy of this sheepskin map for you. You can find it according to the map when you meet me."

The treasure location marked on the sheepskin map was quite a distance away from the cave where Yin Jiaming and his companions were hiding. It was estimated that if they waited until daybreak to set out to look for the treasure in the valley by the lake, it would take at least the next afternoon.

There are only three days left before Tang Yuanliang leads a large group of herb-collecting people down the mountain. At that time, the disappearance of Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao, father and daughter, will be exposed.

Without further ado, Yin Jiaming decided to take Zhang Cailiang and set off overnight.

The two men did not sleep all night. They walked a long way when they heard the howling of wolves. When it was bright, they found the location marked on the map and were stunned to see the smoke rising from the small lake in the valley.

"Boss, is anyone there?"

Zhang Cailiang hid behind a large rock in the leeward area and looked down vigilantly through the crevice.

Yin Jiaming fiddled with the parchment and carefully observed their location. He found that the valley was surrounded by mountains and the lake was full of cliffs. To get to the place marked on the map from their current hiding place, they had to go around the bushes beside the lake below.

In this way, they will definitely be discovered by the people in the valley.

Zhang Cailiang also noticed this, and he asked anxiously: "Boss, what should we do now?"

Yin Jiaming looked towards the valley beside the small lake, still wondering how to get around it, when he noticed that the person going to the lake to fetch water in the telescope looked very familiar.

Isn’t this the captain’s son Tang Yuanliang?

It turned out that the group below was the Xiangyang Brigade's herb-collecting group.

Yin Jiaming immediately made a decision: "We can't always stay in one place to collect medicinal herbs. I'll go down and feel out the situation to see how long they plan to stay in this valley."

Upon learning that there was a large group of people from the Xiangyang Brigade collecting medicinal herbs below, Zhang Cailiang concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, stepped on the stones on the slope, and followed Yin Jiaming down.

Next to the small lake in the valley, a large group of herbalists led by Tang Yuanliang were cooking fish soup early in the morning.

There were many members who were good at swimming who followed him up the mountain this time. They had been digging medicinal herbs all the way to this valley last night. They saw such a clear lake in the deep mountain ravine. They dived into the water, caught a few fish and grilled them to eat.

After resting for a night in a cave in the valley, they gutted the leftover fish from the previous night and threw it into boiling water to make fish soup.

Then, like a magic trick, Tang Yuanliang took out a small bag of rice from the backpack he carried with him and threw it into the fish soup to cook fish and rice porridge.

"Brother Liang, following you up the mountain is not about suffering, it's more like going on a picnic."

The relatives who were on good terms with Tang Yuanliang drank the fragrant fish and rice soup, their faces filled with satisfaction as they smiled.

Tang Yuanliang continued: "This Feng Shui treasure land was found by my Weiwei."

"Not many people come here, and there are many medicinal herbs growing in the valley."

"Yes, yes. I dug up a basket of Chinese yam before dark yesterday. This place is very big. I'll look for some good herbs later."

"The two from the Lu family fell behind halfway and didn't follow us here to dig for medicinal herbs. They're at a big loss this time."

"Forget about Lu Jianguo. How can Lu Jiaojiao be a capable person?"

"In the past, my sister helped with the work in the fields of the Lu family. She couldn't carry anything on her shoulders or hands, so she was not cut out to go up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. I knew she would have to turn back halfway."

Tang Yunling scolded Lu Jiaojiao.

Someone echoed her: "She didn't have the fate of a young lady, but she got the disease of a young lady. Lingling didn't say much to her, but she started crying after she said a few words to her."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat, then we'll get back to work."

Tang Yuanliang interrupted everyone's discussion about Lu Jianguo and his daughter, and asked them to finish their meal and dig for medicinal herbs.

Yin Jiaming and Zhang Cailiang came down to the valley. The voices of people talking by the small lake echoed in the valley. Hearing them talking about Lu Jianguo and his daughter, he and Zhang Cailiang subconsciously stopped.
