Chapter 290: Blocked at the Cave Entrance



On this side, Gao Xiaowen confessed to Lu Dashan as soon as he entered the house.

Of course, she was not confessing that she had lived an extra life, but that it was the Wang family treasure.

It was extremely difficult for her to dig an entrance in such a large area by herself.

Calling Dashan together, the two of them found the entrance faster.

She doesn't have to be so tired.

After swinging the hoe all day, she felt like her arms weren't her own.

"Who told you that?" After hearing Gao Xiaowen's words, Lu Dashan was not surprised at all.

Who in the Seventh Company hasn't heard of the Wang family's treasure?

But I just heard about it, no one knows where it is.

He thought his wife suddenly and mysteriously pulled him into the house for some important matter, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.

Dashan couldn't help but look doubtful.

Of course, he didn't doubt Gao Xiaowen's intentions, but rather the authenticity of the story.

"Last night, the captain rescued two people in the woods. Did you hear about that?"

"Yeah." Lu Dashan took off his shoes and sat down on the kang.

"I saw them both in the back hill yesterday morning, and I just heard the two brothers talking about where the treasure was hidden.

I wanted to follow them and see what was happening, but I lost them along the way. However, I happened to know the place they mentioned.”

Gao Xiaowen lied.

She had been thinking of her words all the way back.

After hearing this, Yu Dashan immediately stood up from the kang, and then sat down again abruptly.

"That doesn't make sense. The two brothers fell in the woods and were rescued. Could it be... that several groups of people were fighting over the treasure?"

The more Dali thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. "Fortunately, you lost me halfway, otherwise, you would have ended up like this."

Gao Xiaowen was impatient. "No one, it was an accident. The two brothers must have been attacked by wild beasts and accidentally injured themselves. Now take your things and follow me into the mountains."

Lu Dali's face darkened. "Are you going to die? Going into the forest now, there are wild beasts in the forest at night."

He felt that those people must have fought for the treasure.

Those people are not to be trifled with, they are all desperate criminals. Didn’t you hear that two brothers were rescued last night, one died and the other was injured?

The one who was still alive was taken away by the police right after he came down from the operating table.

He has children and a family now, so he can't take any risks.

Gao Xiaowen had no choice but to make a few promises and repeatedly assured himself that he had checked and there was no one there.

Only then did Dashan decide to go up the mountain tonight.

Gao Xiaowen prepared some dry food.

After feeding the child, I send the child to the neighbor next door to help look after him. Of course, if the neighbor helps to look after the child, he cannot take nothing.

She took a pound of soybeans over.

The lady next door happily answered it.

"You better come back soon! The children are looking for their mother at night!"

Although Aunt Hu didn't want to bother with her family, since the young couple came to her house empty-handed, she had no reason to be unhappy.

After placing the children, Gao Xiaowen and Dashan took their weapons and ran to the back mountain.

Somehow, Gao Xiaowen felt a little flustered. She forgot about the wild animals that came out at night. She carried the hoe and kept urging Dashan to go.

"Walk faster!" Gao Xiaowen looked at Dashan's short legs with a look of disgust.

Seeing her urging him, Lu Dashan subconsciously sped up.

Originally, he sympathized with Gao Xiaowen's lack of experience in the field and found it difficult to walk on mountain roads, so he thought of walking slower to make the other person less tired.

I didn't expect her to be so anxious.

In that case, he wouldn't care so much.

Here, Yi Xiaoqiu followed the housekeeper into the cave. Inside was a passage that was one person high. It looked like it led to the bottom of the boulder.

Yi Xiaoqiu followed the housekeeper with a heavy heart.

The butler's pair of red eyes were like a flashlight, allowing him to see everything in the passage clearly.

Yi Xiaoqiu took only a few steps before entering an empty cave.

The room was filled with boxes, and at a glance, there were at least a hundred of them.

Yi Xiaoqiu walked forward and raised his hand to open the box, but found that there were copper locks on the boxes.

She didn't have a key, so she took a black hairpin from her head and stuck it into the keyhole.

I poked it several times, but it didn't open.

Yi Xiaoqiu accepted her fate. She didn't have the habit of letting things go as they pleased.

She sighed and shone her flashlight around to see if there were any empty boxes.

Of course, there was a small box in an inconspicuous corner, unlocked.

Yi Xiaoqiu ran over happily and opened the box.

In the light of the flashlight, the golden little yellow croaker almost blinded Yi Xiaoqiu.

This unlocked box is filled with small yellow croakers, so the locked box must contain more valuable things!

Yi Xiaoqiu didn't plan to open the boxes one by one. He reached out and touched the boxes, carrying them to the farm. He counted each box he touched. When he counted 168 boxes, he put all the boxes in the cave into the farm.

Yi Xiaoqiu was so excited!

There were a total of 168 boxes, each of which was large enough to fit her entire body.

That’s not all. She opened the small box.

The box was not small, half the size of the big box.

After Yi Xiaoqiu put away the boxes, he took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the cave.

She wanted to find the key to the box.

Because of the poor light, she could only search bit by bit.

After searching for more than half an hour, I finally found a small wooden box on a rock at the top of the cave.

The wooden box was stuck in the stone, having been pushed in from the side. If she hadn't checked so carefully, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The stone in this place was more than two meters above the ground, and Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't reach it.

She had to bring a table from the farm to get it just within reach.

An hour passed from the time she entered the cave to the time she found the key.

Yi Xiaoqiu collected the key and prepared to leave the cave.

Before she reached the entrance of the passage, she heard faint voices coming from above.

It was just getting dark and the forest was completely silent; every sound could be heard clearly.

Yi Xiaoqiu was shocked, no way!

That Gao Xiaowen is back so soon?

Yi Xiaoqiu immediately turned off the flashlight and groped his way to the exit.

Here, Gao Xiaowen and Lu Dali had just come down the slope and had not noticed anything unusual on the other side of the boulder, let alone that they were being killed.

By now the sky had darkened, the moon had hidden in the clouds, and it was pitch black below the slope.

The entrance to the cave is right under a huge rock and is covered by vines. If you don't look carefully, you can't even notice there is a cave there.

On the slope, Song Ying and the others looked at the pitch-black hillside with their brows furrowed.

Shen Ruofei, Song Ying, Lu Huaian, Xie Xingzhi, and Lan Zhiqing were looking for someone on the mountain, and they found Gao Xiaowen and Lu Dashan sneaking into the woods.

Especially Gao Xiaowen, he would look back every few steps to see if anyone was following them.

This behavior has to make people suspicious.

Song Ying thought of the conflicts between Yi Xiaoqiu and those old educated youth, and suspected that Xiaoqiu's disappearance was related to them, so she decided to follow them and see.

And then we have this scene.
