"Could it be that what they are looking for is hidden under the yard? Is there a cellar here?"
At this time, Cao Weidong was hiding in a dark corner, watching these people digging around and making random guesses in his mind.
Because people in ancient times lived in bungalows, it was customary to dig a cellar in the yard to store things.
So it is reasonable for Cao Weidong to have such a guess.
Meow~
Xiaoxue scratched Cao Weidong with her claws.
Trying to catch his eye.
Cao Weidong turned his head.
On Xiaoxue's plump cat face, there was a hint of expectation and eagerness to try.
"hold on."
Cao Weidong patted Xiaoxue's head gently and took out an old object of low value from his personal space.
The latter immediately narrowed his eyes obediently, enjoying Cao Weidong's touch, but his eyes were fixed on the old object in Cao Weidong's hand.
Cao Weidong smiled and handed the thing to Xiaoxue's mouth.
"I don't know where you came from, but you actually feed on this thing."
After muttering softly, he hid himself again and watched silently.
And that group of people thought that their plan was perfect, and they didn't realize that their actions were being targeted.
At this time, they were having sex in full swing.
After a while, the backyard became pitted, with raised soil everywhere and potholes about half a meter deep.
Cao Weidong didn't feel very distressed either.
Anyway, he has to renovate the courtyard, and the furnishings and layout of the backyard will also need to be adjusted at that time. Sooner or later, the place will have to be dug up and rearranged.
These people dug it for him, saving him the trouble of finding workers.
At this time, after digging a hole nearly half a meter deep, the leader of the group, a man nearly two meters tall, straightened up, stretched, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then walked out of the hole.
walk out.
He threw the shovel aside, walked to a piece of bluestone nearby, and sat on it regardless of whether it was clean or not.
"I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest."
He muttered.
As the boss of this small team, he is entitled to a break.
Looking at the others, the tall and strong man cursed loudly.
"Lao Ma, Xiao Yang, Lao Liu, what the hell are you doing, fishing? Work quickly, don't be lazy."
The three unlucky guys who were named by him involuntarily shrank their heads and moved their hands faster.
The tall and strong man stared at them with eyes like a hawk. Seeing that these guys had stepped up their efficiency, he nodded with satisfaction, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Looking around.
There was some anxiety in his heart.
Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that he found this treasure place.
The tall and strong man's ancestors were once rich, but by his generation, they were so poor that their pockets were cleaner than their faces, and they couldn't even afford to eat.
So the tall and strong man set his sights on those old objects passed down from his ancestors.
He planned to sell the valuable items in it to exchange for food rations.
While cleaning up, the tall and strong man accidentally discovered the diary written by his ancestors and discovered a secret in it.
It turns out that my ancestors were once confidants of a certain prince.
At that time, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, and the entire Forty-Nine City was in chaos.
The prince his ancestors served had no time to escape. On the eve of the city's fall, he hid all his property in the backyard, preparing to find it again after the bandits left.
But bad luck.
The prince's mansion was ransacked during the war, and he himself suffered a tragic accident and died on the spot.
Seeing that the prince was dead, all the servants and guests in the house also dispersed.
This also includes the ancestors of tall and strong men.
After the group of bandits left, Sijiu City regained stability, and the tall and strong man's ancestor became greedy and coveted the treasure hidden by the prince.
Unfortunately, he only knew that the prince had hidden the treasure in the backyard, but he did not know where exactly it was hidden.
Coupled with the subsequent turmoil in the current situation, new political groups took control of the Forty-Nine City, and the former prince's palace was also occupied by others. The tall and strong man's ancestors tried several times, but never had the chance to sneak into the former prince's palace to find the treasure.
Unwilling to be reconciled, the ancestor who complained to the man finally died in depression. Before his death, he recorded what he knew in his diary, hoping that his descendants could find the prince's treasure.
It's a pity that since then, China has never been stable again, and the ancestors of the tall and strong man have no chance, so this matter has just ended.
Until the tall and strong man discovered this diary.
According to the information written by his ancestors and through clues, he locked the courtyard, recruited a group of people, and searched for the treasure day and night.
It's a pity that they have been busy for a long time and still have no results.
"We've pretty much gone through the entire backyard, and if there's nothing underneath the yard, that would be terrible."
The tall and strong man thought so, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
The brothers he snares may be listening to him on the surface, but in fact they all have the purpose of dividing the treasure. If it turns out to be a failure in the end, how will he explain to these brothers?
On the other hand, if he really found a treasure here, he would be a little distressed and not want to divide it up.
In his tangled mood, time passed by minute by second.
At this moment, a voice suddenly exclaimed.
"I seem to have dug something."
Because it was too dark, they did not dare to light kerosene lamps for fear of attracting attention, so everyone worked in the dark.
After discovering the obvious abnormal touch coming from the shovel, the man dropped the shovel, carefully squatted down, and touched it with his hands.
"How about it?"
People around him immediately gathered around and asked anxiously.
The man stretched out his hand and touched it for a while before speaking.
"It seems to be a stone, quite flat. I'm not sure what it is exactly..."
As the boss, the tall and strong man suppressed his tangled emotions and immediately walked over and gave instructions loudly.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it."
"Xiao Mao, find the kerosene lamp we brought, light it and bring it over."
Xiao Mao responded quickly, ran to the backpack stacked in the corner, took out the kerosene lamp, lit it, and ran back.
At the same time, the tall and strong man, who was the boss, pulled up his subordinate who was obviously reluctant to give up, jumped down, and stretched out his hand to caress him.
Cao Weidong knew that the time was right and gave Xiaoxue an order.
"Xiaoxue, it's up to you."
Xiaoxue meowed and got out.
At the same time, the boss standing in the pothole cursed and said: "Are you okay?"
Due to the lack of food and the inability to get the nutrients they need, almost all of them suffer from night blindness. Even if they are not blind, their ability to see in the dark is limited.
The boss groped for a long time, vaguely feeling that the thing looked like a stone, and felt that there were traces of artificial axe, so he urged it.
Xiao Mao shouted.
"coming."
He handed over the kerosene lamp.
But the moment the tall, strong man reached out to catch the kerosene lamp, the flickering flame went out strangely.
