Chapter 218 The Hu Family Treasure



[Xianxian, it would be best to get rid of the little things around you before opening the stone door.]

She and Tongtong were of one mind, and in an instant they understood what He meant. Ruan Xianxian sat down on the ground and embraced the Yuan Shouyi.

Is he/she getting sick?

The weasel stared in disbelief, then rushed over anxiously and pawed at her with its little paws, "Friend, friend, what's wrong, friend?"

Ruan Xianxian closed her eyes slightly, focused her energy in her lower abdomen, and mimicked the sound of farting from an angle that was not visible to others.

The first "plop" sound rang out, and her best friend could still bear it.

Until a farting, albeit slightly off-center, sound rang out, the little weasel's eyes changed completely. It used all four limbs to run away as it ran, cursing all the while.

"You've eaten too many sweet potatoes, haven't you? The weapons are in the cave, find them yourself. I'll wait for you outside."

Ruan Xianxian wanted to laugh, but didn't dare, and her whole body trembled as she held it in, clearly indicating that she was quite ill.

The system sighed, "[Are you really doing this to him?]"

Ruan Xianxian stopped smiling and got up to walk towards the stone wall at the end.

His mission is to protect the Hu family, while I want to destroy the Hu family. We are destined to become friends, but we cannot give up our beliefs for each other.

We can only find a relatively comfortable way to get along.

I promised him that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I would not take any action against the Hu family.

And he was willing to take a step back for me, that's enough.

Hu Bin and Hu Dabao were both on my kill list.

The system applauded in praise: 【Xianxian, you're awesome!】

They had no intention of exposing her wordplay of "the death penalty may be avoided, but the punishment will not be spared."

It must be said that Hu Yongchang, whom the weasel mentioned, was quite a character. The stone gate was made so seamlessly that it was difficult to spot without careful observation.

Not knowing how the Hu family opened the stone door, Ruan Xianxian bought a door knocker from the system store, embedded it in the stone wall, and pulled hard.

I thought it would be very thick, like something from an ancient tomb, but it wasn't. It was only about three fingers thick, and I pulled it apart without much effort.

With a loud bang, the stone door opened a crack just wide enough for one person to pass through.

The searchlight swept across the secret chamber, revealing a stone cave floor of about 30 square meters covered with several layers of dry grass mats, and two homemade cannons placed on wooden shelves on either side.

At the end of the secret room, three large mahogany chests were opened, revealing a chest containing a Type 99 rifle, a chest containing bullets, and a chest containing homemade explosives.

Ruan Xianxian swallowed hard, her throat dry. Hu Heshuo's worries were not unfounded. If Hu Bin had tricked her without any preparation, she would probably have lost her life.

Fortunately, she didn't like going into the mountains, so the Hu family didn't have a chance to make a move.

Fortunately, she went to the provincial capital for a month-long trip, and Mao Dun only recently started making headlines.

Although with Tongtong and Ezi around, it's difficult to scheme against her, but the system isn't always monitoring her. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

It takes some effort to scheme against someone's wealth, but in this day and age, with no surveillance and no gun control, it's really not difficult to decide who to kill.

She waved her hand, taking all these dangerous things into the space.

[Everyone, check what else is nearby.]

[Hehe! No need for further testing, Xianxian, just pull back the straw mat under your feet and dig down half a meter with a shovel.]

Ruan Xianxian did as she was told, and the shovel suddenly made a clanging sound, clearly hitting something hard. A moment later, she threw another wooden box out of the ground.

The chest was of standard dowry size for a woman, big enough to hold three quilts. The lid was unlocked, or perhaps it was locked before but was smashed open by the unfilial grandson Hu Bin.

When the lid of the box was opened, the gold and silver colors that met the eye almost dazzled the eyes.

At a glance, there are 20% large yellow croakers, 30% small yellow croakers, and the rest are poor-quality, pitted silver ingots.

Ruan Xianxian didn't examine the income potential in detail; she would take the treasures home and look at them slowly.

Leaving the secret chamber, she stood in the vast, empty cave, lost in thought, looking down. "Everyone, get me some scrap metal from smashed cannons."

I promised the mouse I'd destroy the weapons, so I should at least do it properly.

365: [I am a system, not a wishing well.]

First they want counterfeit goods, then they want scrap metal, the kind even a dog wouldn't pick up if you threw it on the street...

Ruan Xianxian: [10 yuan.]

365: [Pick it up! If the dog won't pick it up, I will. A qualified system must fulfill all the host's seemingly unreasonable requests.]

With a series of clangs, a pile of broken copper, scrap iron, and broken wood appeared out of nowhere, and when they fell to the ground, they really looked like a homemade cannon being smashed to pieces by a heavy hammer.

Ruan Xianxian almost burst out laughing, accidentally blurting out her true feelings.

Despite his heartache at losing his weapon, Hu Bin still held onto a sliver of hope that he could find it, wanting to see these irreparable wreckage.

That old bastard is infuriating!

What's most infuriating isn't "you have what I don't," but that I'll throw it away and smash it and still not give it to you. Ugh, isn't that infuriating!

The system watched wearily as this thing strutted out of the cave like a triumphant rooster.

The little weasel outside the cave was basking in the moonlight, not even turning its head. "Finished smashing?"

Feeling guilty, he touched his nose and replied in a strong voice, "Reporting to Second Uncle, mission accomplished, retreat!"

On the way back, she insisted on taking the same route. Don't ask why; she just knew the way better after walking it once before. It was definitely not because she was afraid of encountering rats that she couldn't defeat.

Even though her second uncle saw through her thoughts, he didn't expose her.

On the way, this guy was still thinking, no wonder the Hu family gave money so readily, they must have a lot of money, even more than the former director of the textile factory.

Considering that Hu Yongchang fought against the Japanese, it's not surprising. As the old saying goes, "Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts."

It's not surprising that the Japanese had such a background after being stripped of several layers of skin.

She was really looking forward to seeing Hu Bin's interesting expression when he discovered that not only were his weapons gone, but his family's wealth was also gone. She wondered if he would be so angry that he would have a stroke like Old Man Ruan.
