Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 159: Stone Pile, Mass Grave
After watching the real county magistrate, the man and four beasts went to the next treasure location according to the location on the treasure map.
This time it was in the deep mountains, with steep rocks. The treasure hiding place was full of rocks. Looking at it in the moonlight, the big rocks were hazy and distorted. From a distance, it looked like rows of people standing there looking at people.
"Hey, why do I feel a little scary here?" The green snake coiled into a ball and huddled on Yaoyao's head.
"I feel it's chilly here too. Could there be a powerful monster like the Gold-Seeking Tree here?"
A tuft of white hair hugged Yaoyao's thighs tightly.
Xun Jinshu curled his lips and said, "There aren't so many monsters here. This is just a trick. Look at how cowardly you are."
"But it's really chilly here, so scary." The green snake plucked up the courage to take a look at the pile of stones. It saw a stone seemed to move, and it was so scared that it quickly shrank back.
Yaoyao patted Xiaohei's head with her chubby hand and said, "Go up and take a look."
Xiao Hei heard the command, dived up and landed on the pile of rocks.
Only when standing on the pile of stones did I realize that these stones were indeed large and arranged in a strange and orderly manner, like stone soldiers standing on a high place patrolling.
"This is just an ordinary pile of stones. The person who hid the treasure must have chosen this place to prevent others from finding out that he had hidden something here." Yaoyao stomped on the stone with her chubby feet.
"Let's find out where the good stuff is hidden."
Yaoyao took out four Yuanling Pills from the space and stuffed them into their mouths.
The three beasts ate the Yuanling Pill in their mouths and immediately became full of energy.
As long as their owner is around, they are not afraid even if the stones become monsters.
The gold-seeking tree was not afraid at all. It was already a monster, so how could it be afraid of a stone monster?
Here, the gold-seeking tree played its powerful role. It jumped around in the pile of stones and found the entrance switch to the treasure in no time.
"The entrance is here."
In an instant, a man and three beasts came to the side of the gold-seeking tree and looked at a large rock in front of them.
"The door is blocked by a big rock." Xun Jinshu walked to the big rock, raised one foot and kicked it hard, but the result was tragic.
"The stone is so hard, whew, it hurts so much."
Yaoyao stuffed a spirit-gathering pill into its mouth, then pulled it aside, looking for a suitable direction.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle........
The sound of rolling stones was heard, and they rolled all the way to the foot of the mountain and stopped.
A stone door appeared in front of the man and four beasts. Xunjinshu came to the keyhole and inserted a thin branch into the keyhole. With a bang, the stone door opened.
This operation stunned the white-haired and green snake. This lock-opening method was quite unique.
The thing hidden here is the same as last night, even half the size.
After collecting the gold, silver and jewelry, the man and four beasts left and continued to the next treasure hiding location.
This time it was at a mass grave...
Yaoyao was speechless when she arrived at the last treasure hiding place.
Who would hide something in a mass grave?
Is it because this is a mass grave and the thieves dare not come here?
Yaoyao looked at the green ghost fire floating above the piles of bulging earth mounds and touched her double chin.
Well, it's really possible. No one would dare to stay there if they saw ghost lights floating on a grave in the middle of the night.
Now the tuft of white hair and the green snake were no longer afraid. They even rode on it and played with the ghost fire.
Xun Jinshu took a walk around the mass grave and determined the location of the treasure.
The man and four beasts stood in front of a luxuriously decorated tomb in silence for a long time.
Aren’t you afraid of being targeted by tomb robbers if you build a luxurious tomb in a mass grave?
The man and four beasts looked back at the will-o'-the-wisp that had shrunk a lot, and fell silent.
With the ghost fire, it might really scare away tomb robbers.
It was still the Xunjin Tree that opened the door, and one man and four beasts walked in. The area inside was much larger than the area under the roots of the Xunjin Tree.
It was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a golden Buddha statue with many gold bars hidden inside.
With a great harvest, the man and four beasts left.
On the other side, at the foot of the mountain, Prefect Jiang saw the big rock and thought something was wrong. He quickly led his men to the next treasure hiding place.
We can’t defend this place anymore, but we must defend the next one!
He hurried along, his face and body showing an exhausted look, and he looked several years older.
When he arrived at the mass grave, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
It’s over. All three treasure troves have been dug up completely. How can he explain this to his superiors?
The next day, the villagers of Lihua Village set out early to go to the town to collect the ten taels of silver as compensation from the county magistrate.
In the afternoon, the villagers returned happily with ten taels of silver.
The Yuan, Shen, and Ye families were busy in the fields all day today.
The Shen family and the Ye family each bought a piece of land from the villagers, right next to the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Yuan family, and are now building new houses.
The Yuan family's backyard was originally surrounded by a high wall. For the convenience of the two in-laws, two small doors were opened in the backyard, facing the newly built houses of the Shen and Ye families respectively.
They had just returned from the fields and were about to cook when they saw the village chief coming to their door.
After asking, they found out that the county magistrate also gave ten taels of silver as compensation to the Yuan, Shen, and Ye families, which surprised them.
They were outsiders and had not paid any disaster relief grain to the court, so how could the county magistrate give them compensation?
The village chief said that he didn't know what was going on, but he only knew that the county magistrate also gave ten taels of silver to other villagers who came from outside the village.
The Yuan, Shen, and Ye families vaguely knew what was going on, so they accepted the ten taels of silver.
After the village chief left, the three old ladies sat in the main hall and cursed the county magistrate.
How many people died in the three years of drought in the north? Now you feel guilty and give them ten taels of silver?
He thought they would forgive him after this, but bah, these three old ladies wanted to skin the county magistrate and eat his flesh!
All we can say is that the real county magistrate will bear the consequences of the sins committed by the fake county magistrate.
Seeing that the three old ladies were really angry, Yaoyao tried to act cute to make them laugh.
He was holding a shaky stick and asked Xiao Hei to act as the Huang County Magistrate. Yaoyao held the stick and made a ferocious expression while beating Xiao Hei.
"Ah ah ah..."
Xiao Hei: “Wuwuwu…” He made a gesture of begging for mercy, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, pretending to faint.
This scene successfully made the three old ladies laugh so hard that they fell over and covered their stomachs with their hands, laughing until tears came out.
Old Mrs. Liu hugged Yaoyao and called her her darling, Old Mrs. Ye shook the rattle, and Old Mrs. Shen tickled Yaoyao's armpits.
Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San breathed a sigh of relief.
The world is finally quiet.
You have to know that one woman can make a big drama, let alone three old ladies who are burning with anger. Anyone who steps forward at this time will easily become a punching bag.
Fortunately, Yaoyao was there, otherwise, these three old ladies would definitely have scolded me until the next morning.
The royal study room.
The real county magistrate wrote the IOU in his study.
When he woke up in the morning, he was shocked to see two boxes of gold on the ground. He was very sure that there were no two boxes of gold in the study before he fell asleep.
The two boxes of gold that suddenly appeared in front of him must have been given by the gods.
And it was most likely the god who saved him that night.
A woman in white clothes appeared in the mind of the real county magistrate. He could not see her face clearly, but he knew that she had very long hair.
