After running back to the yard in a hurry, the tall and strong man completely relaxed, and then he had the mood and ability to think about the details of the matter.
The first question that pops into my mind is:
"Is there really something weird in this world?"
"Is it really a trick?"
The tall, strong man was a staunch atheist. He quickly came up with the answer and had an initial suspect.
He put his hands on his hands, stood up suddenly, and walked to the door with heavy steps.
When he opened it and took a look, he saw several men sitting crookedly in the yard, with expressions of fear and disaster on their faces.
The tall, strong man looked around, but did not see the familiar figure, and his eyes quickly became cold.
He took a deep breath and hammered the door with his hand.
Boom!
The men were startled by the sound.
"Boss..."
After they found out who made the sound, their tense expressions relaxed, and some of them even beat their chests with their hands to soothe their beating, fragile hearts.
The tall and muscular man asked directly.
"Where's Xiaomao?"
"Xiao Mao is right here, he..."
The subordinates seemed extremely confused by the question of the tall and strong man. They talked casually, then turned around and suddenly became surprised.
"Hey, why is Xiaomao missing?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and found that Xiaomao was indeed not seen in the yard.
After a while of commotion, someone whispered.
"He was the first to run away just now. Is it possible that he ran away? Will he be back later?"
"Asshole, don't you understand, we were deceived by him! That guy wants to keep it all to himself!"
The tall and strong man suddenly became furious.
"If he scares us away, he can go back and steal the treasure!"
The person who just spoke hesitated and said: "Probably not..."
The tall and strong man snorted coldly: "What's the reason? Why didn't he come back? Or do you think there is really something weird in this world?"
He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.
I arranged the courtyard to be haunted just to scare others.
Unexpectedly, while hunting all day long, I would be blinded by an eagle at one point.
The reason why I ran away just now was mainly due to the atmosphere. Now that I have calmed down, I finally thought of the doubt.
From beginning to end, Xiao Mao was the only one who kept and touched the kerosene lamp, so he suspected that Xiao Mao had tampered with the kerosene lamp and made it go out when he touched it, thereby creating a strange atmosphere.
After that, as long as the other party uses verbal guidance, panic can spread in everyone's hearts, and then they can naturally scare away themselves and others and steal the treasure.
It is natural for a tall and strong man to make such reasoning.
Consciously being deceived, the muscles in the tall man's cheeks twitched and the veins in his neck tightened.
"Pick up the guy and come back with me, that guy Xiao Mao wants to take the treasure to himself!"
In this yard, those who do this business with tall and strong men are basically guys who lick blood with their swords. Fighting and fighting are common. At this time, when they heard the call from the boss, they quickly took out the hidden ones from their respective rooms.
arms.
There are switchblades, daggers, sabers, and even a few pistols and shotguns.
The tall, muscular man glanced over.
"good."
With a machete in one hand and a specially prepared flashlight in the other, he opened the door.
"Everyone, follow me!"
However, just as they stepped out of the hospital, they happened to run into a group of police officers wearing big-brimmed hats. At this moment, the expressions on both sides were very exciting.
.......
Hiding in a dark corner, Cao Weidong's expression was extremely strange as he witnessed the police uncle capture a group of tall and strong men like thunder sweeping through holes.
On how to deal with a group of tall, muscular men, his idea was to call the police.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Therefore, he went to the policeman whom he met through Wang Kongwen and reported to him that a group of tall and strong men were secretly hiding firearms and weapons.
There are also illegal and criminal behaviors such as gathering crowds to fight and disrupting social order.
All of the above are seen through Xiaoxue's vision.
He was fully confident that as long as the police comrades came to check the water meter, they would definitely check it accurately.
The police comrade was the director of a nearby police station. After receiving the report, he took the report very seriously. He rushed back to the police station in the middle of the night and summoned people to check the water meter. As a result, he happened to bump into this group of people.
These are the same people who seek death, carry weapons on their bodies, and go out in a menacing manner, but they happen to be bumped into by comrades from the police.
So without any suspense, the group was subdued by the police comrades.
Of course, there were also some escapees who rubbed oil on their feet when the situation was bad, but most of them had been subdued, and it was only a matter of time before those escapees were caught.
Seeing that everything was over, Cao Weidong returned to the courtyard, quietly entered the portable space, and began to take stock of tonight's harvest.
.......
"Who left this treasure house? Is it the original owner of this courtyard, the prince?"
Even though Cao Weidong was well-informed, he was astonished by the richness and high value of the collections in the treasure house.
Looking over, what came into view were rows of huge mahogany boxes. Each mahogany box was a large square box about one meter wide and eighty feet high, enough to accommodate a slightly smaller adult curled up inside.
Take inventory after opening.
There are four boxes of gold bricks, eight boxes of silver bricks, two boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and eight boxes containing high-value items such as porcelain, jade products, and works of art.
Each box was so full that the lid could not be closed.
As for the scattered items, such as large and small goldfish, broken scrolls, porcelain, jade, coral agate, etc., they were piled directly into a shallow hill, and it was impossible to identify how many there were for a while.
But one thing is for sure.
Priceless!
Cao Weidong took a deep breath and murmured to himself.
"Perhaps my guess is not wrong. The things that can be hidden in such a hidden place, in such large quantities, and of such great value can only be left behind by the prince back then."
"I remember that Mr. Wang mentioned when he sold my house that the prince suffered a tragic accident during the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and his entire family died. Perhaps this is the reason why these treasures were forgotten and have been sleeping until now."
"Of course, there is no point in guessing this."
Cao Weidong just needed a huge amount of cash to support what he was about to do, so he accidentally dug up these things in his cellar. It really felt like fate.
Xiaoxue squatted nearby, looking at the pile of treasures curiously, then suddenly jumped onto one of the boxes and wrapped it around with her cat's paws.
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Xiaoxue, wait until I take stock of these things and then find you some food."
Xiaoxue ignored it and continued to hold on to it.
Cao Weidong didn't pay attention at first, but after watching it for a while, he suddenly let out a light sigh.
He discovered that Xiaoxue was not grabbing randomly!
Xiaoxue pulled out many of her favorite old items from the box, but pushed them to the ground without hesitation.
just like........
It's like it has a purpose!
What is it looking for?
Cao Weidong walked up curiously and helped Xiaoxue search.
It didn't take long to find the items that piqued Xiaoxue's interest.
It was a gem that exuded a faint light, about the size of a fist, in the shape of an oval, with a delicate and moist surface, and a strange feeling of warmth when touched.
Cao Weidong looked around and didn't know the origin of this gem, so he simply handed it to Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue excitedly rushed over and licked the gem with her tongue.
