Chapter 217 Shocking Wealth
"What are you looking for?" A faint voice sounded from behind, scaring Li Meng!
"You're going to scare me to death! I'm concentrating on looking for something, and you suddenly made a loud noise that scared me to death!" Li Meng patted his chest and said unhappily.
"I'm looking for an ordnance shovel, it's useful!" Li Meng told her about the strange phenomena in the vegetable garden, including the fact that when she later poured water on it, the penetration rate of that piece of land was slower than other places.
"Why don't you just take this metal detector with you? There's probably something shameful buried underground!"
Li Meng slapped her thigh, why didn’t she think of it!
This house had only one landlord before. To be able to become a landlord, he must have some heirlooms or something, but it was probably difficult to take them out, so they were buried underground!
With the guidance of Dandan, I quickly found the metal detector and came out with Dandan.
Wait until the dead of night before taking action!
Just like that, the man and the bird sat in the room, staring at each other. When Wu Ruirui and Xiao Douzi fell asleep and there was no movement outside, they started to act!
Dandan was responsible for security issues, and Li Meng came out carefully carrying the metal detector.
He quickly pulled out the seedlings on the land and threw them aside, then started detecting with the metal detector!
As expected, as soon as it touched the ground, the red light of the detector lit up!
"Look how much easier this is! You can dig now. I'll be in charge of watching over you. Just dig!" After saying that, Dandan flew to the eaves and stared at the movements around him.
Li Meng picked up the military shovel and started digging. When he had dug less than 2 meters, the shovel could not move anymore and he felt something was blocking it from below.
So Li Meng sped up, and gradually the things underground revealed their original appearance.
It was a wooden box about one meter long and one meter wide. Li Meng tried to move it but couldn't. It seemed very heavy.
"Why don't you open it and see what's inside first!" Dandan suggested. Although it was a bird, it was still very curious about what was inside!
Li Meng carefully opened the lid. She was also afraid. She wondered if there were dead bones inside. Wouldn't that kill her?
After opening the box, I found that it was wrapped in oil paper. No wonder I couldn’t water it thoroughly.
Li Meng carefully peeled off the three layers of oil paper, then shone a flashlight and was almost blinded by what was inside!
Inside are neatly arranged gold ingots and gold bars!
Oh my god! She has made a fortune! This is such a big surprise!
As a modern person, she has never won a lottery, so this is simply a staggering amount of wealth!
Li Meng thought about it and decided to use his mind to put the box into the space, then filled the land and planted the seedlings.
Just in case, Li Meng took the metal detector and searched the backyard again, but no other surprises appeared.
After returning to the room and locking the door, Li Meng entered the space, opened the box again, and carefully counted the things inside!
There were 30 gold ingots, each as big as a duck egg, and 30 gold bars, each as long as a chopstick. There were also 2 beautifully crafted gold hairpins, 2 jade necklaces with particularly good water content, and a letter.
The letter was wrapped tightly in oil paper. If Li Meng hadn't been careful, she would not have noticed the letter at all.
Li Meng put on two layers of disposable gloves before carefully opening the letter. She had seen this happen on TV, where the person who got the treasure would eventually be killed by the poison on the letter paper, so it was better to be careful.
The letter said that the landlord's ancestors were bandits, and later they were robbed by their fellow bandits, leaving only the landlord as the only descendant. Then the landlord's grandfather passed these things down from generation to generation, but by the time of his father's generation, the turmoil was so severe that they had to hide in the countryside.
These things could not be sold, and finally when it came to his generation, something went wrong and he had no next generation, so these things were buried by the landlord. If they met someone destined to have them, these things would be left to that person.
He had no other requests, he just hoped that this destined person would burn more paper money for him so that he wouldn't have to live such a hard life in the underworld. Finally, he said his last name was Yan, and the people in the village would definitely know where he was buried!
Li Meng put the letter away, and put the gold ingots and other things in the box. She would not take them out now. After ten or twenty years, these things would definitely be worth a fortune. Maybe they could be exchanged for a house in Beijing!
When tomorrow morning comes, I will ask the captain where the landlord Yan is buried, and then burn more paper money for him and build a tombstone for him, which will be considered as fulfilling his wish!
Then, with reluctance, he looked at the gold ingots in the box, and Li Meng left the space, climbed onto the bed, and went to play chess with Zhou Gong.
This morning, when Wu Ruirui washed her face and went to pour water, she found that the seedlings she had planted before seemed to have become neater. She had planted them randomly before and had never arranged them so neatly!
I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully again. What was going on?
Maybe she was dazzled, so she didn't pay much attention to it afterwards. After breakfast, she took Xiaodouzi to work.
When Li Meng got up, they both left. Then she went to the backyard and pretended to turn over the surrounding soil. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too fake to have signs of turning over the soil in just that piece of land?
After finishing all this, Li Meng went to find the team leader. Her main task today was to ask about the landlord Yan.
I arrived at the captain's house with familiarity and looked inside. The captain was sitting in the yard picking soybeans!
"Uncle! Have you had breakfast?"
"It's the cute girl! Come in quickly, I'll make some brown sugar water for you!" Captain Huang came up happily.
I just gave out money yesterday, and now I look at Li Meng like he is the God of Wealth, how dare I neglect her!
At this time, the captain's wife also handed a cup of brown sugar water to Li Meng.
"Girl, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" the captain asked.
"Uncle, aunt, I won't lie to you anymore." Then he stood up and looked outside the yard, as if he was afraid that there was someone there.
"What's going on?" The captain and his wife looked at each other, both confused.
"I dreamt last night about the previous owner of this house, the landlord. He told me his last name was Yan, and he wanted me to burn some paper money for him!"
"I was so scared at the time. He said he really had to ask me for help with this matter. He had no children, so it was fate that I lived in his house!"
"I said I don't know where you are buried? How can I burn paper for you? He told me to ask you, so here I come!"
"Think about it! How could I possibly know his last name is Yan? His father and grandfather are both landlords, and he has never been married and has no children in his life. He said all this!"
The captain and his wife opened their eyes wide and felt a chill on the back of their necks. Is there such a thing?
I guess Li Meng wouldn't lie to them, right?
