Chapter 217 My purse is a treasure bag.
"Tie your hands together with this rope and wait outside." Lin Jize tossed the rope that Lin Luoxi had just taken out to the goldsmiths.
"Yes!" They would do anything to get them home, and obediently tied up their own hands before leaving the cave.
"Girl, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take it." Seeing the goldsmiths leave, Lin Jize urged Lin Luoxi.
"Oh, okay!" Lin Ruoxi quickly walked over to the pile of gold nuggets that had been refined by the goldsmiths and began to pick and choose.
Actually, they were all using their bodies to block Lin Jize and the others' view, quickly throwing those gold nuggets into their own spaces.
"Oh dear, you silly girl, why did you only pick those gold nuggets? They're not easy to carry."
Lin Jize saw Lin Luoxi touching and fiddling with the pile of gold nuggets for a long time without making a choice.
In a great hurry, he quickly found a pile of already made gold hairpins, gold necklaces, gold rings, and gold bracelets and grabbed a large handful.
They walked up to Lin Luoxi and put all the gold on her clothes until she was completely covered in gold and there was nowhere left to hang them.
"That's perfect, it's convenient to take, and since it's on you, it's your personal property, and no one will dare to say anything." Lin Jize smiled with satisfaction when he saw Lin Luoxi's head, which only revealed her eyes.
"Hehe, this kind of master is much more noble." Zhao Ximo couldn't help but tease Lin Luoxi when she saw her like this.
"Grandpa, are you sure I won't attract attention if I go out like this?" Lin Luoxi took off all the gold necklaces around her neck, took out a burlap sack from her purse, and stuffed everything into it.
The gold necklaces that Lin Luoxi put into the sack were actually just a cover; she threw them all into her spatial storage.
To outsiders, a gold necklace doesn't take up much space, so it's normal that it wouldn't take up much room in a sack if you threw it in.
"I'm going to fill this sack to the brim." After saying that, he walked to where Lin Jize had been grabbing the jewelry and continued to dump all the finished pieces of jewelry into the sack.
Not full yet, they went to the gold brick section and, in front of Lin Jize, filled it with even more, making it only about half full.
"That's enough. If you pack any more, you won't be able to take it all away, and it'll all be a waste of effort." In fact, the gold jewelry, gold bricks, and gold nuggets she had thrown into her spatial storage in this cave had already piled up into a small mountain.
"Girl, is this pouch some kind of magical artifact?" Such a small pouch, yet it can hold things the size of a sack. Amazing, truly amazing.
"Grandpa was right after all. My purse is a treasure trove." The more you try to hide something, the more suspicious people become; the more honest you are, the less they believe you. Lin Ruoxi was playing this psychological game.
"Tch, do you still think I'm a three-year-old?" Lin Jize looked at Lin Luoxi's serious explanation and didn't believe her anymore.
"You guys, go over there and take some to hide on your person." Lin Jize knew that what Lin Luoxi had taken wouldn't last for several years, so he quickly directed Zhao Ximo and the others to go and take some as well.
"Yes, sir." The aura that Lin Jize had just exuded had indeed intimidated Zhao Ximo and the others.
Now, they all thought Lin Jize was an official sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits in Bear Ridge, and they were so excited to have him as a powerful figure to rely on.
Now they do whatever Lin Jize tells them to do.
After everyone had hidden gold on their bodies until they couldn't carry any more, Lin Jize led Lin Luoxi and the others out of the cave.
When Lin Jize and his group came out of the cave, it was already bright outside. They were carrying a lot of heavy loads, and the good lighting made it easier for them to walk along the narrow path.
"Let's go. Once we get up there, we'll investigate your background thoroughly. If what you say is true, then you can go back."
Lin Jize let the goldsmiths walk in front, while he followed behind Lin Luoxi and the others.
This time, Lin Luoxi was at the very back. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on her feet, she quickly ran back into the cave and came out again in a flash. She was so fast that no one noticed.
With each step she took, she tossed the gold bars from the sack into her storage space to lighten the load.
When they reached the top of the cliff, only half of the bag of gold remained, which Lin Luoxi carried on her back.
These goldsmiths must have frequented this place often. They walked along this narrow path with great ease, taking each step without hesitation.
Lin Jize sneered as he watched the goldsmiths walk.
He drew his soft sword and stabbed the goldsmiths through their backs.
The goldsmiths didn't even have time to scream. They only had time to turn their heads and stare at Lin Jize in disbelief before they all fell into the bottomless abyss below the cliff.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!!"
"Ah!!!" This sudden change made Zhao Ximo and the others scream, and they almost fell off the cliff.
"Stand still. If you want to fall down and go to hell with them, then scream as loud as you can." Lin Luoxi reprimanded Zhao Ximo and the others in a cold voice when she saw them lose their composure.
Lin Luoxi's icy heart instantly pulled them back to reality from their terrified thoughts, allowing them to stand still.
"Grandpa, why did you kill them all?" After Zhao Ximo and the other three stood in line, Lin Luoxi, who was standing at the back of the group, couldn't help but ask.
"Don't ask so many questions yet. I'll tell you after we get up there." Lin Jize wiped the blood off his sword and urged them to hurry up.
"Oh!" Lin Luoxi knew this wasn't the time to talk, so she shut her mouth and walked obediently.
After everyone had placed their bets, Lin Jize spoke up, saying, "Those goldsmiths aren't ordinary folks; they're clearly bandits."
"If I hadn't let them go ahead of me, I would have really been fooled by these bastards."
Lin Jize only made his move after noticing the kung fu-savvy footsteps of the goldsmiths and the distinctive tattoos of the bandits from Bear Ridge on the back of their necks.
Another thing is that they took so much gold with them today. If they were betrayed by those guys, they would also get into trouble.
"Oh, let's hurry down the mountain!" Knowing that the other party was a bandit, they deserved to die, and Lin Luoxi had no sympathy for the goldsmiths who were killed by Lin Jize.
"Girl, it seems like a lot of gold is missing from your bag. Is the bag leaking?"
Lin Luoxi was eager to get down the mountain, so she walked a little fast behind Lin Jize.
Lin Jize glanced casually and noticed that something was off about the sack behind Lin Luoxi.
"No way? Grandpa..." Lin Luoxi weighed the bag on her back and seemed to realize that the weight of the bag was wrong. She put the bag down with a pained expression and began to check it.
"It seems so!" He fumbled around in the bag for a while, then found a hole and slapped his thigh in frustration.
