Chapter 90

"Don't be too happy yet. What if there are no gold bars in it?" Song Zheng said, and asked Jing Xian to open it and take a look.

The entire box has not been dug out yet, but it looks like it is bigger than the six boxes above. If such a large box is filled with gold bars, how can it be taken out?

"Then I'll open it and take a look."

Jing Xian knew there should be gold bars inside, but she didn't know how many.

She broke the lock with a shovel, lifted the lid, and found a layer of red cloth covering it.

The red cloth looks quite fresh.

"Don't move!" Shang Nanchen opened his mouth immediately.

Jing Xian paused as Shang Nanchen jumped down from above and opened the red cloth before Jing Xian.

The bright golden light inside made the faces of the two people look golden.

"Good fellow!"

Song Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Jing Xian didn't expect there would be so many gold bars inside.

"Dig deeper, maybe there's more! Dig next to it too! Who of you two will come up? I'll go down and dig!" Song Zheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to jump down.

Jing Xian said, "You have been digging for a long time. Go up and rest first. We will have to carry it down later."

Shang Nanchen frowned and said disapprovingly: "Have you forgotten that your current situation is special?"

Not to mention that Jing Xian herself had forgotten about her pregnancy, even Shang Nanchen had forgotten about it.

Thinking about it now, the two of them looked at each other.

They all felt guilty at the same time.

They seem to be a bit unreliable as parents.

“Go up!”

"oh."

Jing Xian didn't dare to bother with it anymore.

She climbed up obediently and sat on it to watch the two of them dig the box.

She had just dug the box out and, seeing the lid and exposed parts, she thought the box was about the size of six boxes put together.

Who knew that after they dug out the entire box, she realized that the box was not just big, it was ridiculously big.

Song Zheng sneered and said, "After all this trouble, this box is the deepest. If we dig out the boxes above and see the soil below, we will naturally think that there are no boxes inside. Wouldn't that mean we missed the big box at the bottom?"

Shang Nanchen dug a hole to the side and said, "It might be a trick. The person who did this was very careful. He was worried that if the matter was exposed, this treasure hiding place would be discovered. In this way, those people who took the six boxes of gold bars above would definitely be excited and leave."

"Yes, I just dug more than a meter down, and thought there was nothing there, so I gave up." Song Zheng said to this point, and whispered to Shang Nanchen, "You've got this wife, and it's good for you. Look, your life has gotten better since she came. Not only did you get promoted, but you've also made a fortune."

Shang Nanchen thought about it carefully, and it was true.

He looked up at Jing Xian, who was sitting on the edge of the pit. When she saw Shang Nanchen looking over, she asked him, "Do you want to pull it up?"

"No rush, let's leave this here for now." Shang Nanchen dug more than a meter to the side, and when he didn't see any other boxes, he pulled the rope up.

Song Zheng was also a smart man. After hearing what Shang Nanchen said, he followed him up, looked at the big pit inside, and asked, "Let's just leave like this. What if someone comes and sees this pit?"

"I'll stay here, you go find someone. We can't handle it ourselves after finding so much gold." Shang Nanchen's attitude showed that he was not greedy for credit, and he gave all the credit to Song Zheng.

If Song Zheng wanted to find someone, he would definitely look for his uncle.

His uncle's position is higher than Shang Yongchang's.

Song Zheng pondered for a moment and had already figured out the pros and cons. He said, "Don't argue with me. This place is very close to your troops. Report it directly to the troops and let them handle it. Besides, the military will definitely report it to the government."

He pointed at the box of viruses and said, "That's my credit, and Xu Xiuying's as well. Even if I report this little bit of gold, it's just icing on the cake and won't make a splash. Nanchen, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We are brothers who are friends for life and death. The feelings we have had for so many years are not false.

Don't argue with me. Go back and report to the troops now. I'll stay here for you. I'll leave when the people arrive."

Shang Nanchen didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.

Jing Xian said, "I'll stay here and watch over you. It's okay."

"No, you can't be here by yourself."

Shang Nanchen was the first to disagree.

Jing Xian said clearly, "Song Zheng will definitely be discovered if he stays here. It will be bad if he is caught. If you stay here and I drive back, you will definitely be worried. It will be very tiring to go back and forth twice. And we have to walk on the mountain road. It's better for me to sit here and wait for a few hours. Anyway, you will definitely come back, right? Besides, I am very strong, you have all witnessed it."

"You can't use too much force now. What if you sprain your waist?" Shang Nanchen was very nervous.

Jing Xian was silent for a moment, then said, "Then what do you think we should do? Is it most appropriate for me to stay here?"

Yes.

But he couldn't leave Jingxian here alone.

"Then I'll stay and accompany Jingxian for a few hours before leaving?" Song Zheng said.

"Hurry up!"

Jingxian is chasing people.

She looked at the two of them and said, "Why don't you go back and look after Xu Xiuying quickly, or someone else will take all the credit from you. You too, don't dawdle here, if you were dawdling you would have gone down the mountain by now. Can't you go earlier and come back earlier?"

Shang Nanchen took off his coat and gave it to Jing Xian to wear. He left the military shovel and pickaxe to her, and told her repeatedly: "Nothing is more important than life. If someone comes, you choose to run for your life. Just remember what those people look like. As long as you are here, these things will not be lost. Don't fight with others just because you are strong and know some kung fu. You must remember your situation and absolutely don't be impulsive!"

Jing Xian nodded like a well-behaved wife, "I understand. Go down the mountain and bring the person back as soon as possible."

She was so well-behaved that Shang Nanchen was a little worried.

"Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Shang Nanchen had no choice. Jing Xian was right. He had to go early and come back early.

"Well, let's go."

Jing Xian waved with a smile.

She also said: "You two should go down the mountain slowly and be careful. Don't worry about me!"

After Shang Nanchen and Song Zheng went down the mountain, Shang Nanchen saw the military coat and the food Jing Xian bought, including steamed buns. He took out a few steamed buns, two of which were wrapped in the military coat, and picked up the military water bottle to find Song Zheng.

"Go to the mountain again and deliver this to Jingxian. I don't know when I can be back, so she has to order something first. Eat these buns first. If they are not enough, I can get you two more." Shang Nanchen asked Song Zheng.

Song Zheng shook his head: "No, I'll look inside the car from here, and then go in from another road, which can save more time. Then I'll accompany her for a while before leaving. Don't worry about Jingxian."

"Thank you."

After Shang Nanchen finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car and left.

The wind in the mountains is very cool.

Jing Xian put on Shang Nanchen's coat and found a place sheltered from the wind. She curled up completely.

It's not dark yet, it's still bright.

It was not the time to pick leaves and branches yet. Otherwise, there would be a lot of people on the mountain, and their gold mining plan would be interrupted.

Jing Xian raised her wrist, checked the time, then silently took off her watch and put it on.

Listen to the ticking of the clock and the howling of wolves in the distance.

Jing Xian looked up at the tree and decided to wait until dark, then climb up the tree and wait.

Suddenly, her ears moved and she looked in a certain direction.

After a while, she saw a tall figure coming up from the other side of the mountain and walking straight towards her.

Jing Xian half-closed her eyes, grabbed the shovel, and hid behind the weeds. If that person came over, she would knock him out with a hammer.

The man came closer and closer, as if he knew she was there.

Just as Jing Xian was about to take action, she heard the man shouting, "Sister-in-law? Jing Xian? I'm bringing you some clothes.

"

This... isn't this Song Zheng?

She stood up and saw that Song Zheng was also alert and standing not far away, just out of her attack range.

Jing Xian raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

"Shang Nanchen asked me to bring you some food, some water, and a military coat. It gets very cold after four o'clock. When the sun sets, the temperature drops sharply. You definitely can't wear so little. And this is in the mountains, which is several degrees colder than outside."

Jing Xian put on her military coat and when she saw the buns, she sat down and started eating without any hesitation.

The water in the army's water bottle was no longer warm.

But it doesn't have to be iced, just boiled water, and it won't give you diarrhea if you drink it.

After Jing Xian finished eating, she urged Song Zheng: "Hurry up and leave. If you get off the mountain and are seen by the villagers, they will report you and you will be finished. Also, you'd better hand over the thing in your car today. Don't keep it with you overnight."

"There's still enough time. I'll go down later." Song Zheng was also worried about leaving a woman alone on the mountain.

Jing Xian pointed at the tree and said, "I'll go up there and wait. Just hand me the shovel later."

As she spoke, Jing Xian clapped her hands and climbed up the tree wearing her military coat.

In front of Song Zheng's stunned eyes, he asked doubtfully: "Can't Xu Ning climb trees?"

Song Zheng shook his head.

Not to mention Xu Ning, even Song Ning had never climbed a tree.

Jing Xian thought he was surprised: "Except for a few, most girls in the village can climb trees. How can we pick apricots if we don't climb trees?"

That makes sense.

Since Jing Xian was on the tree, as long as she didn't make any noise, no one would think she was hiding there.

Once it gets dark, you can't see anything.

It's really safe to hide in the tree.

Song Zheng was relieved then. Whenever Jing Xian urged him to leave again, he really left.

The wind is whistling.

It looks a bit scary.

There are also some animal sounds from time to time.

There were wolves howling in the distance. It sounded very far away, so I guessed it was in the mountain ravine and would not come out easily. If it came out, it would probably starve to death. There was still a way to survive in the deep mountains.

Jing Xian was still feeling sleepy as she leaned against the tree. She wrapped herself tightly in her military coat and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

On the other side, Shang Nanchen drove the car as fast as he could for the first time. It would normally take two hours to reach the military area, but he actually drove for a little more than an hour.

When passing by the door of the house, she took the things down and put them at home, and said to the boys: "Your mother and I will be back in the evening, so you don't have to be scared if you hear any noise in the middle of the night. This is the hawthorn cake your mother bought for you. Don't eat too much, just eat a little and go to sleep."

After saying that, he took out a cotton jacket and a pair of cotton shoes for Jingxian, put them in the cloth bag that Jingxian had placed at the end of the kang, and left.

"Is Commander Wei here?"

Shang Nanchen knocked on the door.

After a while, Commander Wei came out to open the door himself. Seeing Shang Nanchen's face, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Shang, come in and talk."

Shang Nanchen saluted and said in a deep voice: "Master, I have something to report to you!"

"Come in if you have anything to say." Commander Wei smiled and asked Shang Nanchen to come in.

"Commander, the matter is urgent. I'm telling you here." Shang Nanchen was worried about Jing Xian and didn't want to delay for even a minute.

Commander Wei was surprised and stood there waiting for Shang Nanchen to report.

Shang Nanchen walked over, lowered his voice, quickly explained what happened, then stood up straight and waited for instructions.

"But is it true?" Commander Wei looked at Shang Nanchen in shock.

Shang Nanchen nodded.

Teacher Wei thought for a moment and said, "Well, you take your people and drive the car to bring the stuff back. I'll wait for you in the office."

Shang Nanchen drove to the troops, and it was Chen Baomin's turn to be on duty.

He called the people up and said, "Choose two platoons of people, drive two trucks to follow, and then bring ..."

Various tools are needed to pack the gold. After Shang Nanchen made the arrangements, Chen Baomin immediately went to find people.

In less than fifteen minutes, all the personnel were ready to set off and jumped into the car, following Shang Nanchen out of the military camp.

Even though it is dark now,

In fact, many people did not sleep and were sitting outside chatting.

"What is he doing? Leading troops out so late at night? Are they going to fight again?" someone asked curiously.

Zhao Xiuzhi was picking late beans in the dark. When she heard this, she said, "The war won't come to us, so why bother with this? If you have the time, you might as well worry about something else."

Wang Hongmei was furious at Zhao Xiuzhi's criticism last time, and now she asked in a somewhat sinister tone, "Sister-in-law, what else can we care about?"

"It's up to you to worry about whatever you want. Is it any use asking me?" Zhao Xiuzhi is also a fool.

Wang Hongmei gritted her teeth, swallowed her anger, and deliberately led the topic to Jing Xian: "By the way, didn't you see the troops driving to Jing Xian's house a few days ago? I heard that they took away a lot of things from their house."

"That's food, that's seeds." Zhao Xiuzhi really knew.

This is a big deal and cannot be kept secret.

What's more, every household is adjacent to each other. If there is any disturbance, they would like the whole military region to know about it. How can they keep it secret?

Someone asked gloatingly, "Is there something wrong with their food supply?"

"That's right, it's a big problem." Zhao Xiuzhi sneered, glanced at the daughter-in-law who was speaking, and deliberately said loudly, "Jingxian, as a doctor, can treat diseases, and being a daughter-in-law for others, it's also good to farm. The potatoes she grows are particularly big. She goes to collect the rice she grows every day. The same is true for the corn at home. She works diligently every day and is never idle for a moment."

"Every grain she grows can be used as seed."

"If this can increase food production, it will be a great deed!"

Zhao Xiuzhi didn't understand at the time, so she just listened to what Wu Zhanfu said. She just repeated what Wu Zhanfu said, making it seem like she said it herself, and raised her chin proudly, like a proud rooster.

Wang Hongmei got up and left angrily, but Zhao Xiuzhi called her from behind: "Wang Hongmei, aren't you going to stay for a while?"

"Go home, it's time to go to bed."

Wang Hongmei rolled her eyes and walked home.

She doesn't want to pay any attention to Zhao Xiuzhi at all now.

It was obvious that the person Zhao Xiuzhi hated the most before was Jing Xian, but now she wishes she could wear the same pants with Jing Xian.

This kind of woman is really a fence-sitter.

Jing Xian yawned and looked at the starry sky through the leaves to distract herself from the gold on the ground.

She was afraid that if she looked at him any longer she would feel heartbroken.

Shang Nanchen and Song Zheng had a tacit understanding and neither of them mentioned dividing the gold. In the end, they decided to hand over the gold as it came naturally.

One box is worth millions.

I can't think about it. If I do, I won't be able to control the greed in my heart.

I don’t know how Shang Nanchen and Song Zheng did this.

She really admires him.

Jing Xian was thinking wildly when she suddenly heard footsteps.

She immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw several people walking towards her quickly. Jing Xian held the iron sledgehammer tightly and prepared for battle.

After Song Zheng left, she was sure that Song Zheng would not come back, so she used her supernatural power to plant reeds around the pit, hiding the gold bars and the pit well.

She won't show up unless it's absolutely necessary.

If these people came for gold, it means Song Zheng betrayed her.

Jingxian was very nervous.

She had good eyesight, and when she saw the man walking in front, leaving many people behind, she immediately climbed down from the tree, pulled out all the wicker branches, and piled them on the ground.

It looks like it was moved from somewhere else instead of growing here.

After finishing all this pretense, she climbed back up the tree.

She had just gone up and hadn't even caught her breath when Shang Nanchen arrived.

This took less than three minutes.

While Shang Nanchen was suspicious, Jing Xian came down from the tree. Shang Nanchen raised his gun alertly, and when he saw it was Jing Xian, he quickly put it away.

"Why did you climb up the tree? You didn't even call me when you came down." Shang Nanchen hurriedly handed the cotton jacket to Jing Xian, "Put it on quickly, don't get cold. I got you some hot water, would you like to drink some first?"

Jingxian took the military water bottle. The water inside was not hot but warm, just right.

She drank a few sips to warm her stomach, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "How many people did you bring with you?"

"Two platoons."

That's sixty people, enough.

While they were talking, the people behind them caught up.

Chen Baomin and the soldiers behind him acted as if they didn't see Jing Xian.

Jing Xian said softly, "Be careful, this is the big pit, several meters deep. Don't fall in. Just take away the weeds on top."

Chen Baomin took the lead in moving all the weeds away.

Jing Xian was just watching there, trying to prevent anyone from accidentally falling, and she didn't notice how ugly Shang Nanchen's face was.

"Didn't you say to just wait here obediently?" Shang Nanchen's deep voice rang in her ears, and Jing Xian finally knew what he was worried about.

She felt a little guilty and wanted to say that this was effortless.

But I can't tell Shang Nanchen the truth.

"In fact, these wickers are all dead wickers, so they are easy to remove."

Jing Xian felt very excited. When she pulled the wicker out of the soil, she deliberately used her supernatural power to cut off its roots, otherwise it would be exposed.

"Let's go down the mountain in a while and don't worry about anything." Shang Nanchen was afraid that she would take action too.

"will not."

Jing Xian assured.

On his way here, Chen Baomin had already heard Shang Nanchen talk about what he was here for. When he went down first and opened the box, he saw a bright golden light under the moonlight, which almost blinded him.

Packing boxes.

War reserve boxes were thrown down one by one, and when they were full, they were pulled up with ropes.

Filling up one battle box after another.

After they had brought up all the gold bars from the big wooden box in the pit, they even pulled the box up. Then, a group of soldiers jumped down and continued digging.

In the end, nothing was found.

Chen Baomin said: "Should we fill the hole?"

"good!"

There is strength in numbers. Although there were not many shovels, the soldiers took turns working for a few minutes each and soon filled the hole.

“Get down the mountain!”

Shang Nanchen gave the order, and Chen Baomin took the lead. The other soldiers each had a box filled with the same amount of gold bars, and walked quickly down the mountain.

After the last wave of soldiers went down, Shang Nanchen said to Jing Xian: "Let's go down too!"

Jing Xian said shyly, "Wait for me."

Shang Nanchen frowned and reminded her: "Don't go too far, I'll stand here and wait."

"kindness."

Jing Xian ran to the side and saw a small wooden box tied to a reed branch.

She picked up the wooden box without even looking at it, and put it in her arms, wrapping it in a cotton quilt so that nothing could be seen.

A bit heavy, hope there is something.

otherwise!

Her special ability is wasted.

Jing Xian even went to the toilet on purpose to avoid being discovered by Shang Nanchen.

She came back with a red face and didn't dare to look at Shang Nanchen.

Shang Nanchen thought she was shy, so he grabbed her arm and said, "Be careful when you go down the mountain, don't fall. Follow me and follow where I step."

He walked in front holding a flashlight, and Jing Xian followed behind.

Shang Nanchen didn't walk very fast at first, but when he found that Jing Xian could keep up, he started to speed up little by little. Then, he found that Jing Xian could keep up with him and was far from reaching her limit.

Who is she?

There is nothing wrong with his background. He has never left Sheng City since he was a child, and all the traces of his life can be traced.

Even if she had traveled around with her master as a child, she wouldn't be this powerful.

Shang Nanchen's emotions were churning inside, but he didn't show it on his face.

Soon they caught up with the last warrior.

The speed also slowed down, and it fell behind at a moderate pace.

The descent was very fast. Even though everyone was carrying heavy gold bars, the speed was still fast.

No slowing down.

“Get in the car!”

The soldiers carried the boxes onto the truck, which started moving. Chen Baomin sat in the back truck and pressed the vehicle.

Shang Nanchen drove the jeep in front.

After driving for two hours, we returned to the unit.

Commander Wei, the political commissar and others received the news and were already waiting there.

Jing Xian got off the bus halfway and walked back by herself.

Shang Nanchen got off the car, saluted and said, "I have accomplished my mission!"

"Good! Good job!"

Commander Wei was very excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to make another achievement before he died.

Shang Nanchen turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone, get out of the car!"

The warriors came in a line and stood in two rows.

“Unboxing.”

Following Shang Nanchen's order, the warriors opened the boxes at the same time.

When Commander Wei and the others saw the glittering gold bars, they could no longer utter any other words except "Great!"

When Shang Nanchen returned home, it was already very late.

He thought Jingxian was asleep.

Unexpectedly, Jing Xian was still awake. She was sitting on the kang with a small box in front of her, and no one knew what she was doing.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Shang Nanchen said as he turned around and went out to take a shower.

"Wait for you."

"Don't wait for me, go to sleep!"

When he came back from taking a shower, Jing Xian was still awake.

Shang Nanchen saw the wooden box that was slightly larger than a brick and planned to help her pick it up and put it on the end of the kang. Unexpectedly, the box was very heavy and he almost couldn't pick it up.

"What is this thing? Why is it so heavy?"
