Chapter 2428

Feeling that the time was approaching, I jumped directly into the lake and swam towards the ancient pagoda.

I swam underwater to the top of the ancient tower in one breath, and then quickly surfaced from here.

After surfacing, I wiped my face.

At this time, I looked up and saw that the sun had just reached the top. I closed one eye and aimed with my thumb, pointing in a direction and shouting: "Brother Yu! That's where it is!"

Brother Yu quickly ran to the spot I pointed out, and he thrust the shovel in hard.

After setting my position, I quickly swam over, picked up the shovel, and dug hard with Brother Yu.

The scorching sun was in the sky at noon, and soon we were sweating profusely. I simply took off my shirt and tied it to my head, urging Brother Yu to speed up.

Maybe it was because the noise was too loud. At this time, all the squirrels on the tree were frightened away. The back of my head hurt, as if a silly squirrel had thrown a pine nut and hit me.

"There's really something!" Brother Yu suddenly shouted.

About two meters deep, we dug out a large smooth stone slab, which weighed several hundred kilograms according to visual inspection.

The big stone slab was covered tightly and was cushioned by a stone. Brother Yu and I used shovels as crowbars to move the big stone slab away little by little.

After moving away, Brother Yu and I both looked at each other wildly.

Under the stone slab is a rectangular space about 2.5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. There are three wooden boxes painted with black paint, neatly placed inside.

Each box had a pure copper cross-bolt lock from the past. I jumped down, smashed the lock, and opened the box.

The first thing I saw was butter paper, which was thickly layered and tied with iron wire. It was basically in a weathered state. I pulled away the rotten butter paper, and the next second, a bright silver color was revealed.

My breathing was rapid, and the sweat on my face was like water because of the nervousness.

The box is full of silver collars that are bigger than an adult’s hand! The color is of high quality and snow-white, and the bottom of the silver collar is in a natural honeycomb shape. Each one weighs almost fifty taels.

I have seen many valuable cultural relics in tombs, but this is the first time I have seen such a large number of silver ingots packed together in a box! These silver ingots should have belonged to the descendants of Lao Fang's family, but now they belong to me!

There is also a line of small writing written on the box.

"The descendants will be defeated, dismantled and sold."

This should have been written by Fang Weixun. In ancient times, "split" had the meaning of loose flowers. This sentence may be his reminder to future generations who found the silver: "Be careful and take them out one by one to spend, otherwise all your family wealth will be ruined." It’s not enough to defeat you unworthy descendants.”

Not daring to take a closer look, I quickly closed the box and tied it with a rope, and then tried to move it out as a whole. However, I tried my best to move it out, but the box still didn't move at all.

"Yunfeng, come up! I'm coming!"

I went up and Brother Yu jumped into the pit.

I saw Brother Yu spitting into the palm of his hand, grabbing the two corners of the box with his hands like pliers and exerting force, and the big box suddenly lifted off the ground.

Brother Yu raised his chest and tightened his abdomen. He clenched his teeth and the veins on his arms popped out. He relied on his upper body strength to lift the big box up little by little.

"Hurry...hurry up and catch Yunfeng! I can't hold on any longer!"

"It's higher! Brother Yu, it's higher!"

I grabbed the rope tied to the box tightly and pulled it up hard.

Just when I was almost out of strength, suddenly a hand next to me grabbed the rope, and together with me, we pulled the big box out of the pit.

I was sweating and gasping for breath, "Thank you."

As soon as I finished speaking, my heart immediately skipped a beat!
