Chapter 1,218. Determine the location of the treasure cellar
The word Zhao has three meanings.
One is a numeral; the other is a sign that appears before something happens, that is, an omen.
The third one has the meaning of foretelling, such as auspicious snow heralding a good harvest.
The omen mentioned by the mountain runner means foretelling.
The word most commonly used in running mountains is the sign of the pine tree where ginseng is placed, commonly known as the old sign. The presence of the old sign means the presence of the old fort, which indicates that there is a stick in this place.
According to the rules, the pine tree sign should face the old village. But there are some people who do not follow the rules, such as Pang Xiazi's group. They leave the sign with their backs to the old village, so that only their descendants can find it.
.
Xing San said that Widow Wang's treasure cellar was facing the omen. Zhao Jun looked at Xing San in surprise and waited for Xing San's next words.
This old man was lonely and took a bath in a corner of the pool. There was no one on his right and Zhao Jun on his left.
At this time, Xing San whispered in Zhao Jun's ear: "His sign is that of an old man's house, with three diagonal cuts inside."
The old man used a knife and an ax to cut a small house on the tree trunk. This small house is very simple. The children at home could draw it when they were young. It has a triangle on the top and a square on the bottom.
Anyone who makes a living in the mountains, whether they are hunting gangs, hunting gangs, threshing pine nuts, or burning charcoal, must cut down the old man's house to worship the mountain god when they enter the mountains.
Since everyone worships the mountain god, they must respect the mountain god. Normally, the palace must be wrapped in red cloth.
But no matter what, the mountain runners did not destroy the old man's house, nor did they cut any way in the old man's house.
But according to what Xing San said, there was a sign opposite Widow Wang's treasure cellar back then, and that sign was an old man's house that had been destroyed.
Upon hearing Xing San's words, Zhao Jun almost stood up from the pool!
He has seen this old man’s house!
In the old autumn of this year, when Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai went up the mountain to carry ginseng, Zhao Youcai narrowed down a small seedling of ginseng, but told Zhao Jun that he had already packed the ginseng in the mountain.
That kind of small ginseng will not be sold even if it is buried for twenty or thirty years. But twenty or thirty years later, let alone whether there is Zhao Youcai. Even if there is, Zhao Youcai at that time would be more than sixty, so
Can he still go up the mountain?
Therefore, Zhao Jun had to ask Zhao Youcai to take him to the place where he secreted ginseng.
In other words, people are old, horses are slippery, and rabbits are hard to catch when they are old.
Zhao Youcai had already made preparations. He left traces of digging in a place and lied to Zhao Jun that the small village was secretly there.
Zhao Jun did not doubt Zhao Youcai, but he searched around for obvious signs.
When choosing landmarks in the mountains, you can’t choose trees. The management is not strict these days, and forest farm employees knock down several trees without anyone taking care of them. If a tree is knocked down by someone, wouldn’t they be caught blind?
But when Zhao Jun was looking for the landmark, he saw a tree in the diagonal corner to the southeast, with the old man's house cut out of it. And in the old man's house, there were three seals cut with a knife and axe.
At that time, Zhao Jun was still thinking about who did such a thing. Now when he heard what Xing Sanyi said, Zhao Jun's eyes widened with excitement.
"Huh?" Xing San couldn't help but be startled when he saw Zhao Jun's big eyes.
Zhao Jun pursed his lips and suppressed the excitement in his heart. From when he learned about the existence of these treasures from Wang Meilan, to when he associated the prosperity of the Pang family from Jiang Hua's notes, to when he met Shao Yunjin in Lingnan, to when he learned that
The existence of knife creditors, and then knowing about the treasure cellar...
Step by step, the dawn... no, the golden light is just ahead!
It was already seven o'clock when this group of people came out of the bathhouse, and it only took five minutes to get home by car.
After arriving home, Zhao Youcai, as the host, welcomed Xing San into the house.
As soon as Xing Sanyi entered the door of Zhao's house, the women who heard the barking of the dog all went out to the outhouse to take a look at the old mountain dog.
"This is my wife, this is Dayong's wife, this is Qiangzi's wife." Zhao Youcai introduced Xing San one by one. When he introduced Xie Sun, Zhao Youcai said, "This is Jie Zhong, Jie Chen's mother."
"Ah!"
"Old Third Brother Xing!" Mr. Xie Sun stepped forward and said to Xing San with a smile: "I've seen you."
"Huh?"
Liu Lanying pulled Xie Sun from the side, but failed. Xie Sun asked Xing San enthusiastically: "Old Brother Xing, where is your knife that kills people? Can you show it to me?"
Xing San subconsciously touched his lower back, but found nothing. Xing San suddenly remembered that he handed the knife to Zhao Jun before taking a bath, so he turned his head and looked back.
"Oh my God, stop looking." At this time, Xie Zhong opened his mouth to stop Mr. Xie Sun. In the past, Mr. Xie Sun would have had a big fight with him just sitting on the ground. But now, Mr. Xie Sun's temper has changed a lot.
, Bai Jiezhong just glanced at him and stepped aside.
"Three brothers." After Mr. Xie Sun stepped back, the old lady called Xing San and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
Xing San frowned and squinted at the old lady in order to see more clearly.
After looking at it for a moment, Xing San shook his head and said, "I don't recognize him."
"Jiang Hua, do you know him?" The old lady reported her old man's name. Xing San frowned and said, "Ah, then I know him."
"He is my old man." When the old lady said this, Xing San nodded slightly and said "ah".
Regardless of whether Xing San could remember it or not, Zhao Youcai introduced all the women in his family to Xing San.
Then, Zhao Youcai invited Xing San to the table.
By this time, the food was ready, including baked single cakes and fried pancakes, as well as vegetables such as shredded potatoes, stir-fried roe deer meat with pickled cabbage, stir-fried shredded beans with shredded pork, and smoked wild boar meat.
This meal was paired with Xifeng wine and Shilin smoke. Even the old man, whose heart was as solid as iron, was lost in it.
They came back late, and it was almost ten o'clock when they finished eating and drinking. The diners left, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Youcai went out to the huts, and Zhao Jun went up to the kang to spread the quilt for Xing San.
When the old man saw that there was no one else in the house, he grabbed Zhao Jun and said, "Boy, one day you go up the mountain and call your dad and uncle, let's go look for those things in your house."
"No need, third uncle." Xing San was very interested in Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun didn't hide it from him and said directly to Xing San: "I have seen that old master's house before."
"Huh?" Xing Sanyi was startled and asked hurriedly: "Where is it?"
"It's at the back of the slope opposite Widow Wang's door frame." Zhao Jun said, "There is water in that pool. You can look at it if you walk down."
"Really?"
This old man is not only reliable, but also has high strength value. Zhao Jun feels very relieved when he takes him with him.
“Hey?”
"Third uncle, I know this." Zhao Jun whispered in Xing San's ear: "We will go to Lingnan when the time comes."
"We can't go to Lingnan."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something and asked Xing San, "Third uncle, I just remembered that the old mountain field technician, how does he know what that sign looks like?"
"He..." Just as Xing Sang was about to speak, the door was opened from the outside.
