When Li Chu heard his words, he felt even more contemptuous.
He is truly a man without any merits at all, rude and disrespectful, incompetent and ridiculous!
"Okay! If you can't dig it up..." Li Chu stretched out his hand and looked at the soil on his hand, sneering, "Just eat the soil in front of me!"
Just now, Xiao Cunyu deliberately hit him with dirt!
"Okay." Xiao Cunyu was quite happy. "The gift must not be less than one thousand taels."
"..." Li Chu was stunned and hesitated for a moment. After all, although his grandfather had a high status, he was indeed a noble family. Although his family had property, he only spent about ten taels of silver every month. One thousand taels was a sky-high price for him.
But looking at Xiao Cunyu's arrogant look, he really couldn't bear it.
"Okay!" Li Chu gritted his teeth and agreed.
What kind of treasure is this? How could it be there?
It's impossible to lose!
"I'm afraid you'll think I'm playing dirty and that I cast a spell on the spot to make the treasure appear. So, in order to make you admit defeat willingly, you and your servant should come over and dig carefully. If you dig it out with your own hands, it can't be fake." What Xiao Cunyu said made sense, and he took out two shovels from his carriage and handed them over.
"There are only a few of us, why did you bring two more shovels?" Zhou Jingmao asked in surprise.
After asking, I felt like I was stupid.
Who is Xiao Cunyu?
master.
Could it be that he had calculated today's changes early on and was even prepared to drag Li Chu into the water to dig for things?
Very likely!
Li Chu was a little dumbfounded when he saw the shovel in front of him, but when he saw Xiao Cunyu's calm expression, the more angry he became, the more straightforward he was and agreed.
In this way, there is strength in numbers.
However, after digging for an hour, the pit was big enough to bury them all, but they still didn't find the so-called treasure. Zhou Jingmao looked at Xiao Cunyu with a bit of gloating: "How about... let's go home and ask the chef to fry the soil? Maybe it will taste better..."
"Xiao Qillang, you don't want to dig until dark, do you? I don't want to keep messing around with you. I think you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible." Li Chu was quite proud.
"Dig for another quarter of an hour. If you don't find anything, give up." Xiao Cunyu gave up easily.
Li Chu knew that this was the last gasp of a dying force, like a grasshopper in autumn, just jumping around aimlessly.
That’s good, so that Xiao Qi won’t be dissatisfied when he has to eat dirt.
Li Chu is full of confidence.
However, after a while, several people suddenly couldn't shovel anymore.
After digging away the soil, he discovered an old wooden board underneath. He couldn't help but feel a pang of fear. However, looking at the color, he quickly said, "Maybe... maybe it's a coffin. Let's not dig it up. It would be bad to disturb the dead."
"That won't do." Xiao Cunyu didn't listen to him.
Zhou Jingmao also became excited and became more skillful.
After clearing the surroundings, the entire plank soon appeared before everyone. Zhou Jingmao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a coffin. I was startled just now!"
It was a long wooden box that looked quite old. The outside of the box was inlaid with gold and had a lock on it. I didn't know what was inside.
Maybe...it really is a treasure?
Everyone in Lichu was stunned.
Something actually turned up in a place like this!? Why did he feel like the heavens were playing tricks on him? He had clearly inquired ahead of time. Xiao Cunyu had purchased the treasure map from Lianhuazhai for a thousand taels, and it had already happened several days ago. The Xiao family had been celebrating these past few days, and Xiao Cunyu hadn't left the city. It couldn't have been arranged by him, right?!
