Zhao Chuzhou knew in his heart that under the protection of this little talent, Pei Yaohui and his family had already arrived in Hong Kong.
Well, if Miss Lian came to see him, she must have a message, or something related to the Pei family. How could he not be happy?
You know, in the past two years, he has been thinking a lot about his host family, and he doesn't know if things are going well in Hong Kong.
"Uncle Zhao, please hide this food and eat it slowly."
"Oh, Miss Lian, you took so much food for me. Thank you for your trouble. This is not easy to do!"
Zhao Chuzhou was very touched. This was really precious.
Lian Xiaomin parked the bicycle in the yard, and helped him carry a bag in each hand to a room where sundries were stored.
Zhao Chuzhou didn't even extend his hand, he just lifted the door curtain for her.
I thought to myself, this person is really... If he were in ancient times, he would definitely be a young knight with great martial arts skills.
Look at others, carrying 200 kilograms of things, it’s as easy as carrying 20 kilograms.
After putting their things away, they went to the main house next door.
Li Qingru was washing dishes when she saw Zhao Chuzhou bringing in a very young girl. When she took off her straw hat, she was so pretty, just like Mulan in the opera!
She recognized it immediately.
She was the amazing girl who rescued Pei Yaohui and his family that night more than two years ago. Her surname was Lian!
Without even washing the dishes, he quickly made a bowl of sugar water and brought it over.
After thanking him, Lian Xiaomin sat down and talked to Zhao Chuzhou. Taking advantage of the cover of her shoulder bag, she took out a letter.
This is a handwritten letter written by Pei Yaohui. It is quite long. Zhao Chuzhou read it carefully with the help of kerosene lamp.
The first three pages describe what happened over the past two years since my family arrived safely in Hong Kong.
The last page mentions one thing.
"Brother Chu Zhou, do you still remember the orchard in the suburbs that my father took us to when we were little?
That time, the driver, Lao Liu, took us to pick fruit.
You take Miss Lian with you to find that place. No matter what the land is used for now or who it belongs to, just take her there."
Pei Yaohui is the only son in the family. When he was a child, Zhao Chuzhou was his study companion. He was two years older than Pei Yaohui.
They are also best playmates and do everything together.
That year, Zhao Chuzhou was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Twenty-five years have passed, but he still has an impression of it.
I did go to an orchard in the suburbs to pick fruit once.
He read the entire letter and pondered for a moment.
"Miss Lian, Yaohui asked me to take you to find an orchard in the suburbs. I tried to recall it, and it seems to be eight miles away in the southern suburbs."
"There is a small village over there called Wufang Village. The orchard was not far from the village. Shall we go there now?"
Lian Xiaomin nodded: "That's right, let's go now while the moon is dark and the wind is high."
"Well, let's go! ... Do you want me to bring a shovel or something?"
Zhao Chuzhou thought that there must be something important buried under the land, seeing that the girl came with bare hands and no weapon.
Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "No need, just lead me to the place."
Zhao Chuzhou stood up, said hello to his wife in the outer room, said he was going out for a while, then pushed his bicycle into the yard and went out with Lian Xiaomin.
The two men rode their bikes out of the city and headed south.
It was a eight-mile road. I rode with a flashlight for about forty minutes before I stopped.
They pushed the cart a few steps when they suddenly ran into four people coming towards them.
"Stop! What are you doing? What are you doing here?"
This is when we ran into militiamen from a nearby village who were patrolling and protecting the fields.
As the autumn harvest is approaching, it is impossible for the fields to be left unattended, and more people will be assigned to patrol day and night.
Zhao Chuzhou was well prepared. He brought his work ID with him and took it out to show the other party, saying that he was looking for someone in Wufang Village, Wang Laosi.
The militiaman used a lantern to light the way and checked the man's work ID. It turned out that he was the director of the Shanghai Cotton Mill and also a leader. He immediately became respectful.
In fact, Zhao Chuzhou did know a man named Wang, nicknamed Wang Laosi, who used to be the gatekeeper in his factory.
I retired the year before last and returned to my hometown, Wufang Village, so it’s still okay to mention it.
The four militiamen walked forward, and Zhao Chuzhou and Lian Xiaomin walked a few hundred meters and finally found a piece of land.
"That should be it. There is a small patch of fruit trees here, but no one is taking care of them. They are all abandoned."
He propped up his bicycle pedals, walked over and pointed to the other side.
"That was the gate to the garden, but it's all torn down now. Miss Lian, I'll just take you here, is that all?"
Lian Xiaomin agreed, "Well, that's fine. Just make sure it's here. Uncle Zhao, you go back first. I need to find something. I'll take care of the rest myself."
Zhao Chuzhou nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first. If you have anything, come to my house to find me."
"It should be fine. I will leave Shanghai tomorrow. I will come to visit you again if I have the chance."
The two people said goodbye briefly and Zhao Chuzhou rode back.
Lian Xiaomin released his mental power to look around. There were only a few scattered fruit trees left, and there were a few thatched houses, but no one lived there.
This place is very close to the fields, and it is probably where people who looked after the farmland lived, but it is abandoned now.
A few days ago in Hong Kong, Pei Zhaojia and Pei Yaohui called Lian Xiaomin home and told her a secret.
It turned out that this small orchard indeed had a lot of gold, silver and treasures buried underground.
As the number one capitalist in Shanghai at that time, the Pei family had many factories and businesses. How could it be said that their assets were only the eight boxes that Hu Yixun and his men seized when they searched their house?
The Pei father and son hid five boxes of things at Cao Baojiang's place, and Zhao Chuzhou's house had three boxes. All together, there were only sixteen boxes of money.
You have to know that the wealth of a big capitalist should be enough to be transported by trucks!
It is said that a big capitalist in Beijing fled before the storm started, and his property filled three trucks.
No matter how "concentrated" the Pei family's wealth is, it wouldn't be just that much.
It turns out that there is a large part hidden under the ground of the orchard.
This place used to be the private property of the Pei family, and they could dig however they wanted.
When Mr. Pei Zhaojia was young, he personally took his most trusted people and secretly dug out two places similar to cellars, hiding a lot of gold, silver and treasures.
I didn't take it with me when I left because I thought the amount was too large, so I just left it there for now.
When things are stable in the future, I will find a way to come back and get it.
Now, their family has been in Hong Kong for more than two years, and everything has stabilized. Besides, buying Dong Zhenyao's shipping company will require a large amount of money, not just a small amount of money.
He also borrowed 10 million from Lu Guanjie and a lot from Zhao Zhanghua.
It was a time when funds were needed to start a business, so he planned to take out the treasure hidden here in the suburbs.
Over the past two years, they have also confirmed that Lian Xiaomin and Lawrence Lu are the most trustworthy people.
There will be absolutely no problem leaving this matter to Xiaomin.
With this trust, Pei Zhaojia and his son entrusted the task of taking the treasure.
