C51 Treasure Hunt

On the morning of the second day, Old He was overjoyed to see the white furred weasel caught in the net. The conclusion to the problem that had plagued his family for a long time made him extremely happy.

"You two, thank you so much for this time. How do you plan on dealing with this weasel?" Old He asked, but Lin Jiang and I were helpless.

"It said that it knows that there is a treasure hole. Should we go take a look?" Lin Jiang suddenly asked Old He. Originally, I thought that Old He would be calmer than the two of us, but who would have thought that he would suddenly become interested.

"Did it really say that?" When I saw Old He's expression, I immediately felt that something was amiss. He seemed to really know something and immediately put on a look of listening attentively.

The Old He looked around for a moment, then closed his own door and told us the story of this small mountain village.

Back in the time of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was a well-known organization called the White Lotus Cult. Although I don't know much about that piece of history, I've heard of it before.

According to the Old He, most of the people in this mountain village were descendants of the White Lotus Sect. Back then, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion failed, the White Lotus Cult fled, and one of them escaped into the mountain.

Originally, these treasures would have been used to help the White Lotus Cult rise again. However, this era was too long ago, and even the village elders thought that this was just a legend.

"What if it really is a legend? To take risks for such an unrealistic reason, is it worth it? " Although I also want to make a fortune, the path that this weasel has given us definitely does not have any good intentions.

"At first, I thought it was a legend, until my Cousin picked it up." While speaking, Old He suddenly walked to the side, opened a drawer and took out a small cauldron.

The workmanship of this cauldron was extremely meticulous. According to Old He's experience with antiques, this cauldron was produced during the Qin Dynasty. After saying this, he flipped the cauldron over.

At the bottom of the small cauldron, there was a picture of a budding lotus flower. The carving was extremely compact and gave off a feeling that it was about to bloom.

"Look, although this object was produced by the Qin Dynasty, the symbols carved on the bottom are not the same as the cauldron itself. Furthermore, this symbol is the symbol of the White Lotus Cult, do you think this can be counted as a coincidence?"

When Old He finished speaking, I couldn't help but be stunned. Seems like what this weasel said about the treasures in the mountain wasn't a lie. However, the Old He seemed to be hesitating as if he was worried about something.

"Old He, if there's anything you want to say, say it all at once." Lin Jiang asked, only now did Old He regain his senses, and immediately after, he shook his head.

"When my Cousin was young, it wasn't like what you guys saw. It was precisely because he brought this cauldron back that he became crazy, so I suspect that there was some kind of mechanism using a profound technique."

After Old He finished speaking, I was also stunned, and immediately gave up on the idea of looking for treasures. The danger is too great, taking such a risk to look for treasures, I might as well just go back to the funeral parlor and do my work.

"Old He, how much do you think the treasures inside are worth?" Lin Jiang suddenly asked while clenching his teeth. I have never seen Lin Jiang show such an expression before, but I can tell that he was truly tempted.

"Lin Jiang, if you're crazy, I won't stop you. Give me the weasel, I'll go back by myself." I immediately pulled him to the side and said angrily, "This is obviously a trap, how can he still enter?"

"Luo Sheng, I'm begging you, just help me this once! Truly, as long as this happens, everything will be fine! " Speaking to this point, Lin Jiang actually brought along a crying tone, and at this moment, Lin Jiang gave me a very abnormal feeling.

Although Lin Jiang used to be greedy for money too, but at least he still has a sense of reason. But in the past few days, I always felt that he had a feeling that he was going to throw away his life and money no matter what, like that dagger, if it was in the past, he would definitely not sell it.

"No, just tell me what it is that you need to know, and don't hide it from me, okay?" After all, Lin Jiang and I grew up together, and we couldn't bear to see his current appearance.

"My mom had cancer detected during her medical examination half a year ago. Neither my dad nor I dared to tell her that the hospital said that the success rate was very high, but the surgery cost 3 million yuan. When do you think I'll be able to earn that much money?"

Hearing that, I completely understood now. Lin Jiang had previously said that he was helping those clients to do things in order to earn money, I thought that he just wanted to earn some extra money, but I really didn't think that it would be such a big thing.

"F * * k, are you a bro!?" Auntie, you won't even tell me about what happened! " I looked at him a little helplessly, but I can't say that I was angry, I just felt that Lin Jiang was acting a little out of place.

"What's the use of telling you, Uncle Luo left so early, do I have the nerve to ask you for money?" But this time, I think it's a chance, so I'll go take a look.

When Lin Jiang spoke, his tone was a little agitated, and it was even more embarrassing for me to reject him. To an ordinary family, three million was an astronomical amount, and it was just for an operation.

Although we can also learn from the love fundraising, but if we can solve our own problems, who would be willing to ask a stranger to help us? With Lin Jiang's personality, I estimate that even if his auntie dies, he won't beg for help.

At this moment, I wavered, and in this situation, I could not leave without hesitation. I looked at Lin Jiang again, and in the end, I still compromised.

"Fine, then go and take a look. If there is any danger, even if I die, I will drag you back. Auntie, something happened, I can't let you get into trouble too."

After receiving my reply, Lin Jiang suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Old He also seemed to be eager, as if he was especially interested in those buried treasures.

Lin Jiang squatted in front of the weasel once again and pulled out the dagger that was supposed to return the Old He to us, then aimed it at the weasel and threatened.

"If you dare lie to me, I'll definitely kill you when we get back." Although saying this would not change the danger that we are facing right now, we should at least give some face to this weasel who had come up with such a rotten idea.

After saying that, the Old He went to prepare the tools needed to enter the mountain. Lin Jiang and I sent a message to Uncle Liu, but he did not say much.

When Old He came out carrying big and small bags, Lin Jiang carried the weasel while Old He and I carried our luggage and went back onto the road.

Even though I still have some doubts, I can only grit my teeth and continue on. After all, this brother of mine has three million on his back.
