Mu Qingli followed the path indicated by the big pine tree and walked deeper into the mountain. She came to a peak at the mouth of the big pine tree that looked like a mallet. The peak was thin at the bottom and thick at the top, just like the mallet used by village women to pound clothes.
Next to Bangchui Peak is a mountain with a round pointed top. Mu Qingli slowly climbed up.
"Boss! Is this the place? What's marked on the treasure map?"
"Hmm? Let me take another look?"
When Mu Qingli was halfway up the mountain, she heard someone talking on the other side of the mountain, so she released her mental power.
"It seems to be this area! Look, that's not Bangchui Peak! It's over there! The location is correct, but the specific location is unclear!" another voice came.
"Zhang Zhi, you kid, why don't you say something? This is your ancestral treasure map! Has anyone in your family ever said anything about it?"
"How should I know? I stole this from my grandfather! I just wanted to find the treasure to pay off my gambling debts!" Zhang Zhi answered impatiently.
"Look again!"
Mu Qingli listened to them talking, and she took the opportunity to communicate with the flowers and plants on the mountain, and finally got accurate information.
Mu Qingli hurried to the top of the mountain and found a secret door on an ancient pine tree that required six or seven people to hug. The secret door was so hidden that it had grown together with the tree. If you didn't know, you couldn't tell it at all.
Mu Qingli found the mechanism to open it, entered the secret door, quickly closed it, passed through the ancient trees, and entered the mountain.
Mu Qingli didn't dare to delay. She ran along the dug cave to the innermost part, and suddenly her eyes opened up! A spacious stone chamber was filled with wooden boxes, but the boxes were a little rotten.
There were several side chambers around. Mu Qingli didn't have time to explore. She put all the wooden boxes in the stone chamber into the space, and then quickly ran to the side chamber, which was also filled with wooden boxes. Mu Qingli put them in without hesitation.
The other ear chamber had no boxes but was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. The last ear chamber contained many books, cloth, and grain. However, the grain smelled musty, and the cloth was full of holes. It seemed that they were not sealed properly and were destroyed by rats and ants. Mu Qingli only collected the books and left the moldy grain and the damaged cloth untouched.
After collecting the visible items, Mu Qingli used her mental power to feel around and found the gold bricks and gold bars in the interlayer of the stone wall. Finally, she cleared out everything and quickly ran out of the secret room.
Mu Qingli walked out of the tree and returned the same way. As soon as she got down the mountain, a group of people climbed up panting on the other side of the mountain. After resting for a while, they pointed at the treasure map.
Finally, the group of people stood in front of the big tree and used the axes they carried with them to split the ancient tree and open the secret door.
After entering the stone chamber, they searched inside and outside and were dumbfounded.
Apart from the moldy food and some tattered cloth, everything was empty. From the traces at the scene, it seemed that something had indeed been placed here, but it didn't look like anyone had moved it away!
"How come it's gone? How could it be gone?" Zhang Zhi's emotions were unstable. "Someone must have secretly taken it away!"
"Let's go down the mountain and check it out!" The young man holding the treasure map was also very unhappy. According to records, the treasures here were not enough to rival a country, but the people who hid the treasures were famous wealthy gentry in this area, as well as retired officials of the court. They were so rich that they couldn't escape.
"Tan Hui, let me go!" said a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
"No! Let's all go! It's perfect! My good cousin Fu Hongzhou is an educated youth in the village at the foot of this mountain! Let's go meet him!" Tan Hui looked around with a bad look, and finally found a silver ingot in the pile of miscellaneous items in the corner of the ear room where cloth and food were placed. This made him more determined to find the treasure.
After saying that, the group walked out of the secret room cursing, went down the mountain, and headed towards the village where Mu Qingli was.
Mu Qingli strolled back to the educated youth's place. Before the educated youth finished work, Mu Qingli prepared dinner. She first made the spicy rabbit meat, which took the most time. She took out the fine cornmeal pancakes from the space, made a tomato and egg soup, and also made minced meat vermicelli. Dinner was ready.
In the evening, the educated youth came back one after another. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of meat and their saliva was dripping from the corners of their mouths. When they saw Mu Qingli sitting under a tree and fanning herself leisurely with a palm-leaf fan, they guessed who was so extravagant.
Zhang Yawei looked at Mu Qingli indignantly.
She was already in her sixties. When she was returning home from buying groceries, there was a power outage in the community and the elevator was out of service. She fell while going up the stairs and was actually transported back to the time when she went to the countryside.
Looking at Mu Qingli, she couldn't help but try hard to recall how Mu Qingli fell in love with Bo Chuyan in her previous life.
It seems that Mu Qingli was harassed by a second-rate guy, and Bo Chuyan stood up for her. From then on, Mu Qingli fell in love with Bo Chuyan. In order to please Bo Chuyan, she kept getting close to him, giving him money, helping him with work, and giving him delicious food!
No, I have to make Mu Qingli fall in love with Bo Chuyan as soon as possible. However, Bo Chuyan doesn’t like me now, and I don’t know how to get close to him!
Only she and Bo Chuyan were together, and Mu Qingli tried to please her in order to get close to Bo Chuyan.
She was also envious of Mu Qingli because she had money, tickets, and delicious food! And she also had someone to help with the work, how great! Zhang Yawei thought happily.
During the meal, Mu Qingli gave some spicy rabbit meat to Fu Hongzhou. Fu Hongzhou looked at the spicy rabbit meat with bright and tempting color, then looked at Mu Qingli, and just said thank you lightly.
Mu Qingli and the others had dinner, but it was still light outside and the people at the educated youth camp were still cooking.
When they finished eating, it was just getting dark and the village was already very quiet. After dinner, the richer families lit kerosene lamps to talk, while the poorer ones had already closed their doors and gone to bed early.
