Chen Laoer quickly retracted his neck: "It's okay, these dry food will be kept for us to eat on the way. After we get the food, we will go to the train station. I asked around and there will be a train passing by here in the second half of the night."
Once the family gets on the train, no one will be able to find them. I hope what Zhang Fu gave to his daughter won’t disappoint him too much.
The family waited anxiously in the shed until the sun set, and until the county town was silent, only then did Chen Laoer, his three children, and Zhang Fu's son walk out of the shed.
Zhang Fu's son was not very smart, but he was obedient and followed what he was told to do without making any noise. Otherwise, Chen Laoer would never have brought this burden with him.
However, when they arrived not far from the county town, Chen Laoer regretted it. This little fool was not only stupid but also lame, and walked very slowly. He patted Chen Ting's arm and winked at her.
Chen Ting was also very annoyed with this little fool. With his speed, how could he find the things? It was not convenient to find those things during the day.
I could only pout and walk forward unwillingly: "Dabao, please wait for us here, okay? We will come back to pick you up after we get the things."
Zhang Dabao stared at Chen Ting blankly. He followed Chen Laoer and the others because he knew Chen Ting. After all, Chen Ting had been domineering in Zhang Fuji's house for a while.
He didn't understand what Chen Ting said, but he knew he could rest now, so he sat down on the ground, then lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Ting saw that the little fool was quite obedient: "Okay, let's hurry up. If he is still there when we come back, we can take him with us."
Without Zhang Dabao's burden, the four of them, father, daughter and children, could walk faster. Chen Laoer's legs also had problems walking, after all, Chen Ye had not held back at the time.
Fortunately, they had nothing, and with the help of their lame legs and the power of their baby, their speed was not slowed down. Even the youngest, Wang Xuewu, did not make a fuss and just trotted along.
It was a coincidence today. The man who had been staring at Chen Laoer thought that someone else wanted to take advantage of him because he was knocked unconscious yesterday, so he went back to report to the boss.
After finishing the report, he still thought that Chen Laoer's family would not cause any trouble. He had been watching them for many days, and today he wanted to have a good meal, take a shower, and then go home for a nap.
After they had rested enough, they came back to continue watching Chen Laoer's family. In this way, they helped Chen Laoer's family break through the surveillance and successfully leave the county.
Only after walking a long way out of the county town did Chen Laoer dare to turn on the flashlight he had stolen from someone else's house today. He looked to both sides of the road as he walked. He had walked this road many times, but he had never paid attention to what trees were nearby.
There are so many trees here, who would have the time to go up and see what kind of tree it is out of curiosity?
After I felt I had walked a mile or two, I slowed down and began to carefully look for any thicker trees. When I saw a thick tree, I would run over to take a closer look at what kind of tree it was.
After searching for a long time, I finally found the elm tree mentioned in the information.
It was already the second half of the night. The moon was quite bright today, shining through the gaps between the branches of the trees, casting a silvery-white light on the ground. The big rock happened to be illuminated by the moonlight, forming a circular shadow.
Wang Xuewen walked around for a long time and finally pointed at a large rock on the ground: "This should be it."
Chen Laoer and Chen Ting hurried over when they heard this and immediately saw the big rock: "Son, do you think it's under the rock or around the rock?"
"The heart of a round shadow and a rock should be in the shadow."
When Chen Laoer heard this, he took out the pickaxe he had found today and started digging. He dug very deep but found nothing. He was almost exhausted to death. He had never done such tiring work before.
"Hoo, ho, ho, son, you're thinking wrongly. There's nothing here. Look how deep it is. No one could possibly bury a treasure this deep, right?"
Wang Xuewen frowned. Could it be that he was wrong and the thing was not buried here at all?
He took a look at the big rock and saw that there seemed to be a piece of round wood under the rock. It was obvious that it was placed there by humans, but who would put a round wood under a big rock?
Wait, this rock is so big that ordinary people definitely can’t move it, but if we put a round log in it and use some strength, we should be able to move it, right? Does that mean that the treasures must be buried under the rock?
"Dad, look here. Let's try to move this stone and see if there's anything under it."
Chen Laoer came over to take a look and agreed that his son was right: "Okay, Xiaoting, come over and follow us. I don't know if such a big stone can be moved."
The family of four used all their strength and finally moved the big rock a little bit, at least more than half of it was exposed, and then they saw some loose soil under the stone.
The four people all showed ecstatic expressions on their faces. It was obvious that someone had dug a hole here. Why dig a hole under the big rock? It must be to hide something.
Chen Laoer was not tired anymore, so he took the pickaxe and started digging. After a few strokes, he dug out a small wooden box. Chen Laoer quickly threw away the pickaxe, picked up the wooden box, opened it, and saw three big yellow croakers inside.
He put the big yellow croaker into his eldest son's arms and continued digging. It seemed that Zhang Fu really did not lie to his daughter. There really was a treasure buried here.
As a result, the pit was dug almost three meters deep and nothing else appeared. It was also obvious that there were no traces of digging further down. It seemed that there was only that wooden box here.
Chen Laoer threw away the pickaxe in his hand in frustration: "What are you talking about? With just this little thing, you expect me to support that idiot and give him grandchildren. What the hell are you dreaming of?"
Chen Ting had already snatched the wooden box and held it in her arms. This was something Zhang Fu gave her, and she couldn't let anyone else take it.
"Dad, this is worth a lot of money, right?"
Now one gram of gold costs about five yuan. Of course, this is the public price. If it is sold on the black market, it can be sold for three yuan at most. A large yellow croaker weighs about one kilogram. If you find the right buyer for three large yellow croakers, you can get several thousand yuan.
For Chen Laoer, who had never saved more than 200 yuan in his entire life, this was a huge sum of money. But the bad thing was that his expectations were too high, so he was so disappointed when he saw that there were only three big yellow croakers.
Chen Laoer's voice was full of sadness as he spoke: "Well, it's okay. If we can't find your uncle, it's enough for us to settle down."
He also has a daughter. Since he can't find his elder brother, he will marry his daughter off once he settles down. He will get a lot of dowry, and together with this big yellow croaker, it will be enough for the three of them to live for many years.
