The tall, muscular man cursed a few times angrily.
Xiao Mao calmly took back the kerosene lamp in his hand, lit it again, and then handed it over again.
The weak flames danced, and the warm light once again dispersed the surrounding darkness.
Bathed in the light, everyone felt relaxed.
"Boss, maybe it was not done right just now, but now it is done and there is no problem." Xiao Mao said confidently.
"Um."
The tall, strong man responded and reached out to take the kerosene lamp.
But when he touched the kerosene lamp, the weak flame protected by the windshield swayed strangely, and then went out under everyone's gaze.
It went out!
Just extinguished?
The tall, muscular man was dumbfounded.
Darkness comes without warning.
The others didn't react at all and were suddenly in darkness.
They couldn't help but shiver.
"Why the hell are you shaking your hands?"
The tall, muscular man covered up his inner fear by shouting and cursing.
Xiao Mao looked aggrieved. He knew that he had done nothing just now.
The companions around him spoke.
"I see that Xiaomao hasn't done anything. Do you think there is... a problem here?"
When the words came to his lips, he still did not dare to say the three words "unclean".
But everyone else knew what he meant.
Everyone's breathing involuntarily became heavier at this moment.
The tall, muscular man cursed.
"Damn it, stop talking nonsense, Xiaomao, try again, your damn hands should be steady, or I'll break your legs!"
Xiaomao almost cried.
Shivering, he took back the kerosene lamp, placed it on the ground, then took off the windshield and lit the kerosene lamp again.
Orange firelight danced, and the darkness was dispelled again.
Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
It would be nice if it can be lit.
He put the windshield back on and waited.
This time he learned from the previous lesson and thought it would be better to let the kerosene lamp burn for a while.
After waiting for a few minutes and seeing that the fire light had subsided, I took it and walked to the pothole.
"Boss, I definitely didn't ask this time..."
The moment the tall, strong man touched the kerosene lamp, the orange light went out without warning.
Darkness came so suddenly, Xiao Mao felt a chill coming from the kerosene lamp in his hand.
At the same time, he vaguely felt a strange cold wind blowing on his neck. This cold wind made his hair stand on end and his heart was broken.
"How weird!"
Xiao Mao screamed, threw the kerosene lamp away, and then ran away. When he reached the base of the wall, he jumped up to the top of the wall, held up his hands, and flipped out, then disappeared from everyone's eyes.
.
Everyone just stared blankly as Xiao Mao climbed over the wall and ran away.
After a while, they finally came to their senses and dispersed.
The tall and strong man instinctively wanted to run with him, but he was reluctant to leave.
After all, what's hidden underneath might be the treasure he's looking for.
Therefore, the tall and strong man could only curse continuously.
"Damn it, come back, come back to me, use your brains to think about how there could be tricks in this world."
However, no matter how he yelled and cursed to stop him, it had no effect. Soon, he was the only one left here.
Looking at the darkness where he couldn't even see his fingers, the tall and strong man suddenly trembled, then he jumped out of the hole, jumped over the wall and ran away.
"Anyway, we've dug up something and the yard has been sealed. Let's come over and have a look tomorrow during the day."
The tall and strong man thought so.
After all the intruders were gone, Cao Weidong walked out of the darkness, stretched out his hand, and Xiaoxue automatically jumped onto his shoulder.
Patting Xiaoxue's head, Cao Weidong praised.
"Nice job."
Xiaoxue's ability is very strange. In addition to being invisible, it also has the ability to interfere with matter. Just now, under Cao Weidong's instructions, it extinguished the flames at the right time and created a strange atmosphere.
After scaring away these people, Cao Weidong jumped into the pothole and squatted down to take a closer look.
This is a piece of bluestone.
After brushing off the floating soil on the top, you can see obvious traces of artificial ax chiseling through the smooth cross-section of the bluestone.
It's a full fifty or sixty centimeters above the ground.
Who would be so bored as to bury a piece of bluestone in the ground?
This shows that there is a problem.
The group of people dug out part of the bluestone, and some were hidden by the soil. Cao Weidong jumped out of the hole, picked up a shovel, and started digging.
Because he had a precise target, it only took him more than ten minutes to dig out this complete piece of bluestone.
Jumping into the pothole again and carefully identifying it, Cao Weidong confirmed that there were pits on the side of the square bluestone and could be lifted up.
After taking out the bluestone, there was a rusty iron door underneath. The lock had rotted away because it had been buried for too long.
"There is indeed something down here, what could it be hiding?"
Cao Weidong turned around and expanded the hole to leave enough space, and then opened the iron door. Suddenly, a smell of rotten eggs came from inside.
Although Cao Weidong's physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, he also feels a little dizzy.
He quickly jumped out of the pothole and ran to a place with smooth air. Only then did he feel that the dizziness in his head had improved.
Cao Weidong knew that this was caused by the long-term sealed environment inside.
After waiting for a while, Cao Weidong looked down and found that this was a common cellar in the north, but the exit had been artificially damaged and the damaged area was blocked with bluestone.
Cao Weidong did not rush down, but let Xiaoxue jump down.
Xiaoxue jumped down.
Through Xiaoxue's vision, Cao Weidong discovered that the cellar was very large, with rows of shelves surrounding it.
There should be wooden boxes and the like on the shelves.
However, because it has been in a closed and humid environment for a long time, the box has decayed, exposing the contents inside.
Those are big and small goldfish!
That's a silver brick!
That's jade and jewelry!
That's porcelain!
The gold, silver and jewelry alone are roughly estimated to be worth at least one to two million.
And that's not counting those old items that are obviously antiques.
At this moment, Cao Weidong's breathing became heavier.
The warehouse of Lou Bancheng's house he had seen was several times larger than this one, but in terms of value, it was probably less than one-tenth of that here.
Cao Weidong asked Xiaoxue to walk around the cellar and found that there were many scrolls and letters inside, but because they had been forgotten for too long, they had become a pile of useless debris.
"It seems like this is what the group is looking for."
Cao Weidong had a sudden realization in his heart.
He waited for a while longer, turned around and jumped into the cellar. He suddenly felt that he was surrounded by jewels.
Just now, I watched with the help of Xiaoxue's vision, and it was a completely different experience than coming there in person.
After a pause, Cao Weidong suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to pack up quickly.
All items, regardless of whether they have value or whether they are damaged, should be stored in your personal space, and you will not be able to judge the value of these items until you are free.
After working hard for half an hour and emptying the cellar, he quickly jumped out of the cellar, restored the iron door and bluestone slab, and shoveled the soil back with a shovel.
After recovering, Cao Weidong clapped his hands.
At this time, he had only one thought in his mind.
