So as time went by, everyone just treated the rumor as a joke.
However, there are always some people who are unwilling to give up. However, after some people went to search for treasures in Xishan and failed to find the treasures, but kept their lives inside, most of these people gave up the idea.
"That's wrong!" Zhang Yu quickly felt something was wrong.
He frowned and seemed to have thought of something: "Second uncle, is there more than one treasure rumor in Xishan? Didn't you tell Uncle Liu before that he was forced by the little devils to go into Xishan to hunt for treasures?"
I didn’t expect my eldest nephew to think of this,
Xie Zhiying coughed slightly and seemed a little embarrassed. He turned around and explained: "That's just a rumor. The Xie family has lived here for so many years and no one has ever found a treasure.
But you should also be able to find out from time that the time your Uncle Liu was forced into Xishan by the Japs was before the bandits were suppressed, so that time it was not a bandit treasure at all."
Seeing that Xie Zhiying looked hesitant and didn't seem to want to say much, Zhang Yu didn't insist on asking.
Just when he was about to change the topic and save his second uncle from the siege.
The other party seemed to have understood something, and took the initiative to speak: "Logically speaking, this matter should not be disclosed, but Xiaoyu, you are not an outsider, so the second uncle told the truth.
I don’t know if there is a treasure on the West Mountain, but I’m pretty sure there is a treasure on the West Mountain.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed.
Then I heard Xie Zhiying continue: "Speaking of the treasure hidden in Xishan, it has something to do with our Xie family. It is said that a certain ancestor of the Xie family liked to do business since he was a child. Because his parents did not like him doing business, he left home when he was young.
He has been working outside for many years, but he didn't expect that he would actually get results from his work.
When he returned to his hometown in his later years, the ancestor brought back hundreds of boxes.
According to some rumors, those boxes were all filled with gold, silver and jewelry, including three priceless treasures.
It's just that the ancestor was obsessed with business and never married a wife, so he had no direct descendants.
As for the nephews, they have been at odds with each other for a long time because of the grudges of the previous generation.
When he returned home, his nephews also tried to ease the relationship, but the old man was stubborn, and the young man's brothers were really dishonest in doing things. Hatred had been forged, and the old man could not let go. Knowing that his nephews were
When thinking about his own property, he even said that he would never leave those properties to a few people.
Seeing his resolute attitude, several nephews immediately stopped talking. They felt that there was no hope. In addition, they couldn't stand the gossip of everyone in the clan, so they later gave up trying to please him.
After his death, his tribe still buried him.
After the burial, the family discovered that all the hundreds of boxes the ancestor had brought back were missing, leaving only a sum of money in the family that was just enough to pay for the funeral.
Later, for some reason, there was a rumor that the ancestor had buried all the things he brought back inside the Xishan Mountain, and only those who were destined could get them.
Rumor has it that he has a nose and eyes, and even a treasure map was revealed later.”
Speaking of this, Xie Zhiying was a little speechless: "At that time, there were more than ten styles of treasure maps. If you want to see them, we should have a few more at home, but I don't know where they are for a while.
, I will look through it some other time and see if I can dig it out."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yu burst into laughter.
Not to mention whether this rumor was true, but he figured out why Uncle Xie didn't want to mention it.
The people in the Xie family are not as good as the previous generations. The previous generations were fine and they were still considered figures.
But the last few generations have long since disappeared. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were no longer any different from ordinary farmers and had to live in a corner.
The only thing that distinguishes them from other farmers is probably the fact that the Xie family has a genealogy.
Other than that, there is no difference. Some families even live worse than ordinary farmers.
However, it was precisely because of their downfall that the Xie family gained a good reputation after the founding of the country.
However, my own family knew about my own affairs, and the Xie family's background was not clean, so naturally I wanted to have people pay attention to me.
And the rumors about the treasure were more harmful than helpful to them, and could easily push the Xie family into the public eye again.
At present, the most important thing for the Xie family is to be patient, silently accumulate strength for future generations, and then wait for the day when they can make great achievements.
Xie Zhiying, who could tell from his eldest nephew's face that his eldest nephew had already figured out the matter, continued: "You only need to know the rumors I just mentioned, but don't tell them outside. If someone asks you about the treasure hidden in Xishan,
Rumors, if you can't refuse, just say..."
It seemed that he felt that it was not good to teach his nephew to make up lies, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Xie Zhiying's face.
He coughed twice, covering up his embarrassment, and continued: "The previous rumors are very old, and everyone no longer mentions it. Now, in front of the new generation of Xie family's children, the Xishan treasure is carried, except for the bandits.
In addition to hiding treasures, another rumor is that a large landowner nearby hid his family property in the Western Mountains to avoid the war."
At this point, Xie Zhiying couldn't help but cough twice, her face turned slightly red, but she continued: "I don't know what the big landowner's last name is... anyway, I just know that the big landowner just hid the treasure.
, the whole family was robbed and killed by bandits, and the whereabouts of the treasures were unknown after that."
As soon as Xie Zhiying finished speaking, he quickened his pace without even wanting to look back at his nephew's expression.
If possible, they wouldn't want to make up this lie.
But to be honest, the Xie family's background is not very clean.
Regardless of whether the original rumor was true or false, some people still remember it.
As for the fact that Old Man Liu was forced into Xishan by the Japs to hunt for treasure, the Xie family were not the only ones who knew about it.
Some thoughtful people will inevitably connect this matter with the Xie family's ancestors' treasure hoarding.
The most important thing is that as Xie Zhiying's status in the clan becomes higher and higher, he also comes into contact with some secrets.
One of the things caught his attention, and she only found out about it this year.
Over the years, the elders of the clan have noticed that the Xie family seems to have been watched by some mysterious force.
The current situation of the Xie family is there. It is no different from ordinary people. Some people can't even eat enough.
In those three years, there were also disasters here.
If the clan hadn't made a concerted effort to help families with orphans, widows, and insufficient labor, I'm afraid at least one-third of the people wouldn't be able to survive.
The Xie family has fallen into such a state of poverty. Apart from the hidden treasure that is currently unknown whether it is true or not, the elders in the clan cannot think of anything that would cause those people to spend so much effort for several years.
Staring at the Xie family members.
Where Zhang Yu couldn't see, a dangerous light flashed in Xie Zhiying's eyes, showing for the first time that he was not as easy to mess with as he seemed.
Since those people are unwilling to give up, it is better to let them go to Xishan to see for themselves.
Seeing is believing, I believe no matter how much you do to thank your family, it will work.
As for whether they can come out alive after entering, that depends on their ability.
As for the processed rumor he just mentioned, he should only tell it to the younger generation to prevent them from knowing the truth and getting really greedy, causing big trouble in the Xie family.
