In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish
Chapter 76: Wealthy as a Country
It was unknown how deep the cave was, nor what potential dangers might be present, so Qiao Zien said, "No hurry, let me see what the situation is first."
So he took out his night vision binoculars and looked down into the cave. Fortunately, the cave was only three meters deep, so it was easy for him to jump down.
Qiao Zien whispered, "I'll jump first, then you jump, and I'll catch you below."
Chen Ruotong said nervously: "Can I do this? I'm pretty heavy, I don't want to hit you!"
Qiao Zien said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." After saying that, he jumped down first.
Chen Ruotong took a deep breath and jumped down with her eyes closed. Fortunately, Qiao Zien caught her in time and no loud noise was made.
When Chen Ruotong jumped down, the cave entrance closed automatically. Shit! How can I get out?
Qiao Zien comforted him, "What are you afraid of? Just follow the wealthy Wan and you'll be able to get out!"
Chen Ruotong nodded and said, "That makes sense, let's go!"
There was a long tunnel ahead, about 1.5 meters high. The two men walked forward with their backs bent.
Qiao Zien was exploring the way ahead, and Chen Ruotong followed closely behind. After they walked fifty meters, the cave in front of them became wider and higher. The ground was paved with slate bricks, so Qiao Zien stopped immediately. Chen Ruotong bumped into him and asked, "Why don't you move on?"
Qiao Zien made a gesture to keep quiet, took out the night vision binoculars and looked forward. He saw that the wealthy Wan walked in a very unique way. He jumped on the floor tiles and made an S shape. Qiao Zien understood that there must be a trap, and the wealthy Wan was avoiding it. If he didn't use the binoculars to investigate, maybe the two of them were really trapped!
So Qiao Zien whispered, "There is a trap ahead. You must follow me. You should walk on the same tile as I walk on. Don't walk on the wrong one, or you will fall into the trap."
Qiao Zien recalled the route taken by the wealthy Wan, and led Chen Ruotong to jump on the floor tiles and walk out in an S shape. Chen Ruotong thought: How come this is like the Tomb Robbers' Chronicles, making people feel excited and scared.
After walking a hundred meters, they arrived at a door, which was open. Qiao Zien took out the telescope, but did not see the figure of the wealthy Wan. He only saw a large space inside. The ground was also normal, without any floor tiles, and the walls were normal.
Qiao Zien led Chen Ruotong forward. After walking for about five minutes, a large space appeared in front of them, but there was no light. The two stopped and Chen Ruotong took out a telescope and looked into the space. She did not find the rich man Wan, but found five piles of gold and silver treasures around the space, just lying there naked without even a box.
Chen Ruotong's blood boiled, her brain buzzed, her nose bled, and she almost fainted. Was she hallucinating? Wasn't this the treasure? Those idiots had traveled thousands of miles with the treasure map, risking their lives to find the treasure. Wasn't this the treasure in front of them? She found the treasure without any effort. Chen Ruotong was so excited that she almost shouted out!
Qiao Zien also saw the five piles of treasures and stood there in surprise, speechless. He didn't expect that there would be so many gold, silver and jewelry hidden in such a dark room, but where did the rich man Wan go? Could he have disappeared out of thin air?
Chen Ruotong didn't think too much. She ran over immediately and looked at the small mountain of gold nuggets, silver ingots, jade beads, gold and silver jewelry, gold plates and bowls, gold spoons, antiques and calligraphy and paintings... Her eyes were shining with gold. She waved her hand, and the pile of gold and silver disappeared. She stood up and walked to the other four piles of gold. With a wave of her hand, the four gold mountains entered the space.
Qiao Zien was even more stunned: Chen Guchuan's space was too powerful, it could hold anything, even five huge gold mountains were put in it.
At this time, the whole cave is empty, with nothing left. The rich man will definitely find it, what will happen then?
Well, never mind. This money-grubber won’t let go of any piece of gold. Even if he finds it, he won’t know that it was done by the two of them. The rich man Wan can only worry!
Chen Ruotong was so excited that she forgot she should go back to the cave.
Qiao Zien came close to her and whispered, "All the treasures have been collected, but the rich man Wan is missing. Don't you want to know where he went?"
So the two of them walked around but couldn't find anyone. What if the rich man Wan went out and sealed the cave entrance? Wouldn't they be trapped in the cave and unable to get out?
But they didn't see the wealthy Wan walking back, there must be some mechanism, secret passage or something. The two carefully observed the cave wall and the ground, and they found a protruding stone on the wall in front of them, so Qiao Zien pressed the stone hard, and a stone door opened. The two entered another tunnel one after the other.
Qiao Zien used a telescope to look ahead, but did not see the shadow of the wealthy Wan. Could it be that the front leads to the outside world?
The two of them quickened their pace and walked for about an hour. My God, this tunnel is so long. Does it lead out of the city?
They were tired, so they sat on the ground to rest for a while, drank some water, ate a piece of chocolate, and then stood up and continued walking. After walking for another half an hour, they felt the wind blowing ahead, so they quickened their pace and saw light ahead.
The two were very excited, but there was a large iron gate in front of them that had been locked. This meant that the wealthy Wan had already left the tunnel and it was he who locked the gate. Outside the iron gate was wormwood taller than a person, which just covered the iron gate, so ordinary people would not be able to find it.
Qiao Zien took out the master key and reached out to pull the locked padlock. After unlocking the padlock, the two of them pushed the iron door open. The iron door could only be opened a crack, just enough for one person to squeeze through. The two of them were very thin, so they squeezed out easily.
Close the door, lock it, and put the lock back to its original position.
Qiao Zien took out a flashlight and observed the surroundings. It turned out that the door was at the foot of a hill with a dense forest in front. No one would come to such a remote and quiet place. It was really a good place to hide treasures.
Qiao Zien said: "This wealthy man must have some secrets, otherwise, how could there be such a secret passage leading out of the city? The treasures in his secret passage are enough to rival a country. One mountain of gold is enough to rival a country, let alone five. What kind of business can make so much money? Could it be stolen or robbed?"
Chen Ruotong nodded in agreement and said, "What you said makes sense. What kind of business can make so much money? What is that thing? That thing is a treasure!"
Qiao Zien sniffed and asked, "Guchuan, don't you smell it?"
"What's that smell? I don't smell it!"
Qiao Zien shone the flashlight on the ground and finally found a pile of horse manure. He squatted down to observe the manure and said with a smile: "This manure is fresh. Mr. Wan must have ridden away on his horse. There is no need for us to chase him. Your gold and silver have been looted, and my mission is also completed. Let's go back to the city!"
The two of them took flashlights and followed the horse's footprints out of the dense forest and onto the official road. This was the official road to the South City Gate, which Chen Ruotong was very familiar with. They were now far away from the South City Gate.
So Chen Ruotong took out two electric bicycles from the space and asked: "Zi En, can you ride this kind of electric bicycle? I'll tell you how to ride it, it's very simple..."
The two rode their electric bikes to the South City Gate, but it was the middle of the night and dawn was approaching. Chen Ruotong put away the electric bike and brought Qiao Zien into the space.
She took a shower, changed into a white gauze dress, and after dressing herself up, she found a blue student uniform. She took Qiao Zien out of the space, asked him to change out of his nightgown and put on his student uniform, and then the two of them sat under the city wall and snuggled together to sleep.
