Chapter 226 Finding the Mark
"Look here, there's new dirt!"
Bai Li was quick and with a push of his hand, a large stone moved forward and the newly applied mud fell down.
The stone was moved away and sunlight came in.
"Here's an exit!"
"The witch doctor must have escaped this way, let's chase him!"
Bai Li ran out first. She knew very well the harm of the witch doctor. If this person was not eliminated, there would be endless troubles.
Bai Zongren followed. He also knew that the witch doctor was difficult to deal with and was afraid that his daughter would suffer.
Bai Li followed the traces out of the cave, but could not find any clues.
This cave runs through the mountain range and comes out at the other side of the mountain wall. After passing a canyon, there is another mountain.
All you see is lush green, mountains everywhere, and trees on the mountains. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"He escaped again!"
Bai Li knocked down a stone with a fierce palm, but who knew that the stones fell into the canyon one after another like a butterfly effect, and it took a long time before the sound of the stones falling to the ground could be heard.
"Li'er, look at the map!"
Bai Zongren felt that the scene in front of him looked familiar. He took out the map and saw that it was exactly when Bai Li shot down the stone.
He saw that where the stones were no longer visible, the soil looked a little unusual.
He walked forward and touched it with his hand, then took out a hammer and started hammering, hammering harder and harder.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Come and help us, dig out this piece and take a look!"
Bai Zongren didn't even raise his head, didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and just started working with the hoe.
Bai Li took Bai Dalang's hoe and started hoeing.
When the others saw this, they picked up their weapons and started fighting without asking any questions.
Several people dug separately, and all of them were strong men. After a while, they revealed a piece of solid rock. Bai Zongren was overjoyed when he saw the rock. He found the middle and dug carefully, not letting anyone get close.
Everyone was curious and simply stopped to see what he was doing.
I saw him digging for a long time, then he threw away the hoe, found a branch as thick as a finger, and dug more carefully.
"Dad, could this be the treasure?"
Bai Li looked at the map and then at the terrain here, feeling as if something was missing.
Bai Zongren held his breath and had no time to pay attention to her.
Bai Li had no choice but to wait patiently.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. Bai Zongren felt a bump and shouted with joy.
“Found it, found it!”
"Brother, is this the entrance to the treasure?"
Everyone looked on with hope, their faces showing relief that the task was about to be completed.
"No, this is just a chance."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Li took the map to compare with the entity, but unfortunately he couldn't find the corresponding point no matter how hard he looked.
Bai Zongren released his hand, and a swastika mark carved on a stone slab was revealed in the place where he had just covered it.
"What is this?"
Facing a group of curious babies, Bai Zongren sat down on the ground, drank a lot of water, wiped his face before speaking.
"Discovering this mark is like finding a treasure."
"The Emperor's secret letter stated that the other mountain corresponding to this mark is where the treasure is."
Bai Li looked in the direction of the mark and saw the hill on the other side of the canyon.
"So, the treasure is on the opposite hill?"
"If he hadn't been poached, it should be!"
The emperor was really cunning. The map he gave was useless. It turned out that it also required corresponding secret codes and marks.
Bai Li secretly complained and looked across at a mountain covered with primeval forest. It was unlikely that it had been dug up by anyone.
"Then what are we waiting for? Go dig!"
The sooner she digs, the sooner she can complete the task so that she can lie down and rest sooner. She has been busy all day long.
"Wait, we are not well prepared today, and Erlang and Wulang are injured again. Let's send them back first and come back tomorrow."
Bai Zongren was not in a hurry. He had found the mark and was only one step away from the treasure. Why was he in a hurry?
And he was right, there were injured people today, and the prepared tools were insufficient.
I just came out to try my luck, who knew I would find it so quickly?
It’s such a long way from home, and once we start digging, we’ll definitely have to live and eat in the mountains, otherwise, the treasure we dig up will be stolen.
Transportation is also a problem. We will have to send soldiers to guard the cave entrance, transport the treasure out, and so on. All arrangements need to be made.
Everyone thought the same and prepared to return.
"Wait, Dad, let's hide this mark first!"
"Li'er is still very careful."
Bai Zongren stood up with a smile and covered the mark with soil again, restoring the entire rock area to its original state.
Several people wailed: "No way, we finally dug it out, and now we have to restore it to its original state!"
Bai Zongren and Bai Li both looked like they were not willing to negotiate. Although the others complained, their subordinates actually got to work honestly.
It really takes two hours to dig and a whole day to recover.
Restoring it was more laborious than digging it up. It took a full two hours before it passed the scrutiny of Bai Li and his daughter.
"Okay, let's get out quickly, my second brother and the others are waiting anxiously!"
Bai Li clapped her hands. She stayed at the end and was more careful. She secretly buried a peanut bomb inside.
She will be fine if she takes it out first when the excavation starts tomorrow. If someone else finds this place and comes to dig, he will definitely never come back!
After doing all this, Bai Li followed his family into the cave.
Everyone turned a blind eye to Zhao Yuntian's body in the cave.
Bai Li thought about it and realized that if the corpses were left here, they would rot and stink, while they would have to go in and out of here to dig for treasure. Just thinking about that made him feel sour.
"Dad, why don't we just deal with him?"
Bai Li pinched his nose, as if he could smell a stench.
Bai Zongren understood what she meant, so he called out to the people in front.
"You guys bury him, or he'll stink when we pass by here!"
"That's right, but he's such a bad guy, who would want to bury him? Just throw him out to feed the wild dogs and eagles!"
Bai Li had no objection to this. After all, Zhao Yuntian was just a familiar stranger to her, and later became her enemy. She wished she could kill him with her own hands.
He has brought this upon himself and cannot blame anyone else.
Needless to say, Bai Dalang and Sanlang each carried one end of the body and walked out.
At this time, sunlight shone into the cave. Bai Zongze had put away the flashlight he was using for fun and hid it well because he was afraid that his son would ask him for it.
This was distributed to them by his eldest brother last time. He and his second brother got one each, and each other team only got one. Everyone treasured it like the apple of their eye, and no one was allowed to touch it.
The group came out of the cave and arrived at the place where the collapsed soil was dug up.
Bai Dalang carried the corpse and walked forward. Bai Li and others ignored them and stood there waiting.
After a while, the two came back.
Bai Dalang wiped the sweat off his face and said, "He was thrown off the cliff. It's so heavy. He's such a troublemaker. He'll drag us down with him even if he dies."
