She first ran to the place where she saw the herbs, and when she stopped, she found that it was the rare Dendrobium officinale. Shouldn't this thing be grown in Northeast China?
But it doesn't matter why it grows here, as long as it is a good thing, she took out the tools at her waist, carefully picked up all the dendrobiums she saw, and put them in the backpack behind her.
Then she looked around to observe the terrain. It was really similar to the terrain drawn on the treasure map, so she decided to slide down a distance to take a look.
After sliding down about five meters, Chen Ye found a concave area. She had to go over to see if it was a cave. She moved to the right and finally stepped on solid ground.
This is indeed a cave. It is pitch black inside and you can't see how deep it is.
However, this cave is quite hidden and nothing can be seen from above. She was considering whether to go in and take a look. She had not forgotten that there were two people waiting for her up there.
Cen Zixiang turned around and said something to Gao Fei, but when he turned around again, he found that Ye Zi was gone, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Leaf, Leaf, can you hear me? Leaf, Leaf..."
Gao Fei quickly ran over to check the status of the rope: "It's okay, don't be too nervous, the person is still tied to the other end. Maybe he can't be seen because he has reached the sunken place."
He said so but didn't hear Ye Zi's reply, so he also shouted: "Ye Zi, Ye Zi, can you hear us?"
Chen Ye heard the voices of two people and hurried out of the cave: "I heard it. There is a cave over here. I want to go in and take a look."
Even if she found the treasure, she had no intention of keeping it for herself. The book said that many people were looking for it, and she really didn't want to bring trouble to herself because of the treasure. There were too many things and it would be too hot for her to handle.
Besides, these two people are from military families. I can't say that they are absolutely upright, but at least she doesn't have to worry that they will kill people to steal the treasure if they really find it.
"What? Ye Zi, what did you say?" The wind was very strong on the cliff, and Chen Ye's voice sounded intermittent from above.
Chen Ye took a look at the cave. It was too dark inside. If she wanted to go in and explore, she had to prepare well. What if the cave was very deep? She didn't bring any food with her, so there probably wouldn't be anything to eat inside.
She pulled the rope, signaling two people to pull her up first.
Seeing the rope move three times, the two of them quickly worked together and quickly pulled Chen Ye up.
"You scared me to death. I turned around and you were gone. Why is there a concave area over there?"
Cen Zixiang muttered as he untied the rope around Chen Ye's waist: "By the way, is that Dendrobium?"
"Yes, if I can pick it?"
"I want to tell you two something. You two decide whether you want to come with me."
The three of them sat on the ground, but they were a little far away from the edge of the cliff. If a gust of wind blew them down, they might lose their lives here.
"Tell me about it."
Chen Ye scratched his head, not knowing where to start. Should he start by saying that he discovered the cave and wanted to go in to explore, or should he start with the jade pendant?
"Well, I just found a cave, and I'm curious and want to go in and see what's inside. Do you want to come with me?"
Gao Fei looked at Chen Ye silently with some confusion. In his impression, Ye Zi was not a curious person.
Cen Zixiang knew Chen Ye better than Gao Fei. "You're not a curious person. What are you thinking? There are so many caves on this mountain. Why haven't I seen you curious about caves before?"
Chen Ye...I hate people who know me so well. You can't hide anything from them.
However, Chen Ye only hesitated for a moment. At worst, he could just hand over the jade pendant. As long as he couldn't let the disgusting male and female protagonists get the treasure, it would be fine.
"This is a long story." Chen Ye sighed.
"Take your time. We're not in a rush anyway. The autumn harvest is still some time away."
Chen Ye...shouldn't you make it short?
"Okay, then if you two don't mind, I'll explain it slowly. Where should I start?"
Chen Ye started from the moment she got the jade pendant. Of course, there was no need to elaborate on how she got the jade pendant. After all, being a thief on the beam was not a good name. Although she took things from bad guys, she took them without asking.
After hearing Chen Ye's words, the two brothers looked at each other in confusion. It was Cen Zixiang who asked, "You said you copied the map. Do you have it with you?"
Chen Ye nodded. She not only brought the map with her, but also the jade pendant. What if the jade pendant was really the key to the treasure? She couldn't find the treasure place, so she had to go back and get the jade pendant.
She showed the two of them the map she had copied in her pocket and the jade pendant she was wearing around her neck.
Cen Zixiang took the jade pendant. As soon as he held it in his hand, he knew that this piece of material was a rare and good one.
And judging from the degree of light transmittance, it must be a rare and good material, because this is the first time he has seen the jade pendant reflecting colorful light.
Could it be that this isn't genuine jade, but a completely new type of mineral?
This thought flashed through his mind. He was mainly looking at the patterns on the jade pendant. It's no wonder that these patterns looked like maps. Few carving masters would use such lines as patterns.
"What's going on in your head all day? How did you connect this line to the map and be so sure that the map should show Xishan?"
Chen Ye... Can I tell you that it's because I read it in a novel?
Then he definitely couldn't tell the truth: "That's exactly how I feel. And if you look closely at the shape of this mountain, isn't it exactly the same as Xishan?"
Xishan is such an ordinary name, but when you look at Xishan from a distance, it is really extraordinary. It looks like an angry bull with its head held high. She once wondered why this mountain was not called Bull Mountain.
If you hadn't said it before, I wouldn't have thought so. But after Ye Zi said that, the two of them looked at each other and found that they really were very similar. The main thing is that Xishan is not an ordinary mountain shape, it is a bit like an animal.
"Are you planning to change your route this time just to find this so-called treasure?"
"I guess so. I've checked all the places we've been to before, and there are always some places that don't match the map."
Cen Zixiang opened his mouth but still didn't ask Ye Zi where the jade pendant came from. Since Ye Zi didn't say it just now, it meant that it was not convenient for her to say it.
He looked at his childhood friend Gao Fei. Gao Fei thought for a moment and nodded. Mainly because Gao Fei suddenly remembered something he had heard before, which seemed to be related to the jade pendant here, but he couldn't tell exactly whether it was.
But we are all young people, and who doesn't have a dream of digging for treasure? Even if there is no treasure, it will be a little regretful at most, but if we don't even try, we might regret it later.
