There is a cave hidden on the top of Luming Mountain.

Although Feng Laoqi left a map and made secret notes, without a lot of effort and some luck, he really wouldn't be able to find this place.

It can be seen that Feng Laoqi is cautious. Even though Jiang Xiong has followed him for many years, he does not know where his treasure is hidden, nor what treasures are hidden in it.

The two-foot-sized hole can easily allow one person to enter and exit.

Yu Ye squatted in the cave and looked at the things in front of him one by one.

The five animal skin bags were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and their value was inestimable.

There are also two wooden boxes, both of which are more than a foot long, mottled and simple, and look very old. Opening one of them, there were four volumes of animal skins inside. They were classics about astronomy, medicine, epigraphy, farming, mulberry planting, and ancient legends. Although the handwriting was somewhat worn, it was generally intact and could still be read.

The moment he opened another box, Yu Ye couldn't help but sit on the ground, grinning with a silly smile on his face.

The box contains a small pile of sparkling small stones, as many as twenty-eight. Even before you touch them with your hands, you can already feel the rich spiritual energy contained in them.

How could there be a spirit stone in Feng Laoqi's treasure collection? He must have robbed ancient tombs everywhere, and he accidentally obtained them. Perhaps because they were extremely valuable, he hid them here together with other treasures.

And he, Yu Ye, was worried because he couldn't find the spiritual stone.

Twenty or thirty spiritual stones are enough to practice for a long time.

Is this Feng Laoqi's secret compensation and expectation for him, to compensate him for his hard work in the past few months, and to expect him to fulfill his promise and live up to his trust?

In addition to the spiritual stone, there are more than ten night-light pearls and a jade pendant. I have seen Ye Mingzhu before, and there is one on my body. The jade pendant is carved from white jade, simple and exquisite. One side is engraved with the word "Tianji", and the other side is engraved with the word "和". I don't know what its purpose is, nor its specific origin.

Now that Feng Laoqi's belongings have been found, he should go to Beimang Village and transfer these gold and silver jewelry to his family.

I remember his young daughter’s name is Wan’er!

Yu Ye took out the storage ring from his arms. With a thought, the five bags of gold and silver and the two boxes disappeared without a trace.

The small ring is really useful. Hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects were put into it, but they were as light as nothing. Otherwise, these gold and silver treasures would be difficult to transport and there would be no way to take them with you.

Yuye stood up and jumped out of the cave.

Perhaps the delay had been too long, and dusk had already fallen.

Let's find a place to stay for one night and go to Beimang Village early tomorrow morning.

Yu Ye moved the stone slab back to its original position to cover the entrance of the cave, turned around and jumped down the mountain. Although this trip to Luming Mountain had twists and turns, it also gained a lot. It was rare that he was in a happy mood, so he used his light body technique and went straight to where he came from.

In an instant, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

When he found the place where the horse was tied, Yu Ye was astonished.

Where is the horse?

His horse was tied to a small tree by the forest at the foot of the mountain. The tree was still there, but the horse was gone. Looking around, there was still no trace of the horse in the distance.

Hey, where is my horse?

Yu Ye scratched his head and looked around blankly.

When we arrived, there were several women and children cutting grass and herding sheep at the foot of the mountain. We didn't pay attention at that time, so we tied the horses to the edge of the forest. Who would have thought that between coming and going, the horse would disappear. But this place is unfamiliar to people, it is in the wilderness, and it is getting dark. Where should I look?

Hey, I just found the treasure, and before I was happy for a moment, I got another blow on the head. Isn't this a joke?

If not, the horse must be found.

It won't disappear out of thin air, right?

Yu Ye walked to the place where the horse was tied again and spread his consciousness to check.

As far as the consciousness can reach, the hoof prints under the grass can be clearly seen. Although the hoof prints were messy, they pointed in both directions.

Searching in the wild and moving forward.

Across the fields is a path. Cross the path and come to the avenue. The dirt road was covered with ruts and various marks, but his consciousness was only focused on the horse's hoof prints.

Unconsciously, I returned to Pingshui Town.

At the west end of the town, on the side of the road, there is a single-family yard. The horse's hoof prints disappear in the gate of this house.

Yu Ye walked to the courtyard gate and stopped.

At the same time, a horse neighed from the courtyard, as if it smelled its owner's breath and called out urgently.

Yu Ye raised his eyebrows, lifted up his clothes, took two steps forward, and kicked open the courtyard door.

Huh, no wonder the horse is gone and was stolen!

And just as he was about to kick open the courtyard door, catch the horse thief and give him a lesson, he heard the sounds of children, women crying and men yelling and cursing from inside the courtyard——

"Mom, you shouldn't leave..."

"Everyone is gone, why are you crying and howling..."

"The old man is gone, why do you think I'm crying? You should find someone to take care of the funeral, but you spend all your time outside making money, and now you learn to steal..."

"You bitches know nothing! I'm short of money these days. On my way out to look for money, I saw a horse tied up in the woods, so I took it back. I'll find someone to sell it to someone for a good price tomorrow morning, and then I can arrange for the funeral... …”

Yu Ye reached out and knocked on the door.

"Tuk-tuk——"

"Oh, I'm looking for you..."

"Shut up! Who—"

The crying disappeared and footsteps sounded.

"Squeak——"

The courtyard door quietly opened a crack, and a pair of wandering eyes flashed out. Seeing a stranger outside the door, he was so frightened that he slammed the door.

Yu Ye reached out and pushed a little harder.

The courtyard door opened wide, and a short man couldn't stand. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

Yu Ye walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard of the three houses is not big, but it looks clean. There is a black horse tied under the tree on the east side of the courtyard gate. There was also a green steel sword inserted in the bag on the horse. It was his horse, and it kept raising its head and snorting at him.

There is an oil lamp hanging next to the door of the main room. Under the dim lights, there was a bamboo couch in front of the door. There was an old woman lying on the couch, her eyes were closed, her cheeks were sunken, her face was blue, and she had no breath. She had obviously been dead for a long time. There were two children lying next to them, the boy was two or three years old, and the girl was four or five years old. Shang Zi had tears on her face and looked panic-stricken.

The man who fell to the ground was lean, had a short beard, and was in his early thirties. He should be the owner of the house. A woman ran over and helped him up. They both looked at the uninvited guest.

The woman was obviously his mother-in-law. She was in her mid-twenties, with messy buns and a sad expression, but with a panicked look on her face. She said loudly: "Brother, what are you doing... There is a funeral in my family, so I can't entertain guests. Please come back!"

Yu Ye bowed, stretched out his hand and said: "Sister-in-law, my horse..."

The implication was that he took the horse and left. As long as the horse was safe and sound, he had no intention of pursuing the man for theft. Who would have thought that before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a man jumping up and saying——

"That's a horse I bought on the street. What does it have to do with you?"

This man is not only a gambler, but also a scoundrel.

Yu Ye suppressed his anger and said: "Brother, that is obviously my horse..."

The man shouted: "What about your horse? If you call it, will it agree?"

"You...you call it, and it doesn't know how to respond!"

"Oh, why did I call it? Do you think I am as stupid as you? It is in my yard, so of course it is my horse!"

"snort!"

Yu Ye snorted, turned and walked towards the tree.

If he had a quarrel with someone on the street, he would definitely not be anyone's opponent. What's more, when he met a rogue and there was a funeral in his family, he had no choice but to surrender. But he still wanted to take his horse away, and he believed no one could stop him.

Yu Ye untied the reins and led the horse away.

The man actually stretched out his arms and rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards me, saying angrily: "Not only did you forcefully break into a house, but you also dared to snatch my horse and ask for a beating——"

Yu Ye ignored him and pushed him away.

With a little force, the man flew over ten feet away. But before he could get up, the woman rushed over again.

"Oh, the thief is robbing me——"

When Yu Ye saw the woman rushing in front of him, he had to turn around to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the woman fell to the ground, hugged his legs, and screamed: "Neighbors, come quickly, the thief beat my official San to death..." "

"Sister-in-law, your man is not dead!"

Not only was the man not dead, but he was also unscathed. He also pulled his two children over and ordered: "My child, your mother has been beaten. Go and stop the thief -"

Yu Ye hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I don't care about your eldest brother, just let me take the horse away!"

"My man bought the horse, why should you snatch it away?"

The woman cried and wiped her tears and said: "Oh, I don't live anymore, please beat me to death——"

The two children rushed over, one on the left and the other on the right, hugging Yu Ye's thigh and both cried: "Mom..."

Yu Ye didn't dare to break away, for fear of hurting the woman and child, but he couldn't leave. He was so anxious that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

But I saw the man getting up and kneeling in front of the main house, crying and saying: "My dear mother, the thieves came to the door to commit murder. It's just because of the child's incompetence. I will take her three mothers to accompany you..."

"That's all——"

Yu Ye was forced to shout, "I bought this horse!"

"My dear mother...ah, do you really mean what you said?"

The man called Guan San. He was still crying, but he didn't forget to turn around and ask. There wasn't a tear in his eyes, but his face was full of suspicion.

Yu Ye looked at the woman and two children in front of him and said helplessly: "Seriously!"

"This number is worth it!"

Guan San raised a hand and his voice was trembling.

The woman stopped crying and said worriedly: "Oh my God, five ingots of silver...the child's father..."

Guan San glared and said: "Shut up!"

Yu Ye nodded and said: "Deal!"

"ah?"

Guan San didn't expect Yu Ye to agree so simply, so he stood up in a hurry and said: "Bring me the money -"

Yu Ye reached into his arms and took out five heavy pieces of silver.

Guan San looked at him in disbelief, but he couldn't think anymore. He stared at the silver and said impatiently: "Give me——"

Yuye ignored it.

Guan San was shrewd and scolded: "You bitch, take the children and get out of here -"

The woman and her two children stepped aside.

Yu Ye led the horse towards the courtyard gate and threw the silver on the ground.

The woman saw it clearly and turned around to pick up the silver. Guan San was not willing to give up and rushed over to grab it. But they refused to give in to each other and rolled into a ball on the ground. The two children were frightened and both grinned and cried.

Yu Ye walked to the courtyard gate and stopped.

Not a family, don't enter the same door. The couple in this family are a perfect match!

Yu Ye bowed to the old man who was parked on the bamboo couch, said "Excuse me" softly, turned around and walked out of the yard, then led the horse and walked silently into the night.

It is really unreasonable to use money to redeem a stolen horse. But he, who should have been angry, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, as if he was lucky after escaping, but also seemed helpless due to embarrassment.

His sword is sharp enough; his skill is outstanding in the world. His Seven Kills Sword Qi is enough to intimidate fellow masters. Even the cunning and cunning Ginger Bear eventually died in his hands.

But so what?

He suffered a huge setback tonight and lost all his temper. Facing a market scoundrel, a mischievous woman, and two innocent children, he had no choice but to do anything.

It can be seen from this that things are insufficient and wisdom is unclear. The so-called strong man is not omnipotent.

I hope that the money left behind will allow Guan San and his wife to bury the old man, raise their children, and live a good life in the future.
