A simple first reaction
"Are you going on another mission?"
"......no,"
Seeing that his expression was off, he simply got up, shaving the mud off his shoes, and went to the well to wash his hands clean.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Did something happen to the newcomers?
Something happened at the gold mine?
Cheng Chao waved his hand and gulped down a bowl of cold water.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jian Dan became even more anxious.
"Speak up! Has something happened to the child?"
Cheng Chao quickly swallowed the water, waving his hands frantically.
"Cough, no, no, no, it's all fine, it's all fine."
Only then did Jian Dan feel relieved.
"Then hurry up and tell me!"
Cheng Chao reached out and flicked her.
"So it's my fault again, huh? You heartless little thing, I came to find you as soon as I got the news."
Simple stared wide-eyed.
"So you mean it still has something to do with me?"
Cheng Chao dropped his playful grin and casually sat down on the bench.
"You could say that. We analyzed the things we found in that courtyard last time and discovered some things that bore the mark of the Su family from the capital, so,"
I was slightly surprised.
"The Su family? My maternal grandfather's?"
After transmigrating, she only stayed in the capital for a few days before going to the countryside. She didn't know much about the people and things around the original owner, especially those who had passed away. She didn't bother to think about them at all.
Her meager understanding came from neighbors and Chen Hongjun, along with the original owner's memories. As for emotions, they weren't particularly deep, since they hadn't really spent time together. She was simple and not the clingy type, and she didn't empathize with the emotions of her predecessor.
Having spent several years in the countryside, the biggest role that Grandpa Su and Grandpa Jian played in Jian Dan's eyes was to use their names to spread nonsense, such as the connections left behind by the old men.
"right,"
Simple Heart was immediately jolted awake: What the heck?
Could it be that the capitalists have been discovered again?
"What is that?"
Cheng Chao took out a yellowed piece of paper, carefully opened it, and pointed to the mark in the lower right corner.
“Look here,”
In the lower right corner is a square red seal with a bold, heavy "Su" character in clerical script.
Jian Dan immediately turned her gaze to the lower left corner of the seal. Although it was a little blurry, it was still clear that it was a small lotus flower.
"call!"
He let out a simple breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
“That’s right, it’s my maternal grandfather’s Su family mark,”
Outsiders might not notice, but she could see it clearly. The small center of the flower in the lower left corner was indeed rhomboid. It was only because she had good eyesight and was paying special attention that she could see it.
Only then did I look at the text on the paper. The old, yellowed paper was very fragile at the creases in the middle, and powder would fall off if I wasn't careful.
Even though it's simple, I don't dare to use too much force; I can only press lightly with my fingertips.
The things on the drawing are clear and concise, not complicated at all. The thick lines are undulating, and it is obvious that this is a map.
He looked at it several times from all directions, simply frowning.
"Could this be a treasure map?"
However, this terrain,
She scratched her head.
"This terrain... it seems kind of familiar to me."
The brother and sister huddled together.
"Look at this, this, and that...do they look alike?"
"And here, look at this bend, this hill,"
"The entrance is this way? Isn't it?"
In her past life, she often ran into the forest, so it wasn't that she was completely ignorant. She could understand some of the simple maps, but the more she looked at them, the stranger they seemed. The markings and the directions, even though they didn't indicate rivers or anything, the undulating slopes and the turns gave her a sense that they were about to appear.
"Could this be what they're looking for? Do they really think this is a treasure?"
"Yes, they have had this piece of paper for more than ten years. They started planning this operation in the mountains when they withdrew before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the years, the country has been riddled with problems, and there have been constant disputes on the border. They are in the deep mountains, and we haven't been able to pay attention to them."
Come to think of it, it was our oversight; we were so close, yet we didn't notice a single clue.
"If you hadn't run into them this time, and if those people had continued to contact the outside world, who knows what might have happened."
She scratched her head, wondering what was going on in the mountains. There were so many treasures, big and small, and she had already found several. How could there be more?
There were so many rich people before, why did they have to hide their things in these deep mountains and forests?
Weren't you afraid of encountering wild boars, tigers, and wolves back then?
However, there is no answer to this question.
She looked at the thing in her hand, feeling a bit of a headache.
"So, what should we do with this?"
Cheng Chao's gaze was somewhat complicated. This time, he pondered for a while before speaking.
"Since it belongs to the Su family, it should naturally be returned to you. It's up to you to decide."
but,"
He looked troubled, seemingly oblivious, still staring at the picture without looking up.
"But what? Tell me."
Cheng Chao said slowly,
"Based on our experience in mountain warfare over the years, we have analyzed this map and consulted with several geological experts. If our judgment is correct, this treasure map should be the gold mine they mentioned."
"What?"
Simple looked up in shock, as if she were hallucinating.
"What did you say? A gold mine?"
No, you mean the treasure they're searching for in the mountains is that gold mine.
