Su Youting's movements were not slow at all. In just a few seconds, he had already dug a large pit three feet square and two meters deep.
Ling Yun now stood on top of the pit with three young men, lowering his head and looking inside.
"Is this the wrong position? Why haven't you seen anything even though it's so deep?" Su Youting straightened up, soothed his aching waist, and raised his head to ask Ling Yun.
But Ling Yun was very confident about this position, "It's impossible, it must be here. Last night we all watched the silver ingot beauty get in by herself. There can be no mistake. Maybe the previous owner buried it deep. You can dig more and see."
Out of curiosity, the three young men took the shovels and jumped into the pit to help.
Four people worked, but it was different. Soon they dug down more than half a meter.
Ling Yun, who was watching on the side, had the idea that he would carry these with him in murders and arson in the future. It was really easy to use. Digging a hole and burying a person, without monitoring or electronic eyes, who could solve the case!
My heart was twisted, and a witch-like, slightly evil smile appeared on my face unconsciously.
"Dig it!" Hu Zi's cheerful voice came up from the pit. Ling Yun quickly hissed and signaled him to be quiet. She still knew that the wealth was not revealed.
Su Youting and the others were squatting on the ground, busy with their hands on the ground.
After a while, in addition to the newly turned soil at Ling Yun's feet, there were dozens of bamboo pole sections as long as an adult's arm and as thick as a wrist. The sides were blocked with cloth, and they seemed to be sealed with a layer of wax oil.
But after a quarter of an hour passed, the people below did not stop and kept throwing things at the top. It was also because they had good physical strength and had eaten enough in the morning. This work was not easy, especially since the tiger was still alive. He said, "This bamboo joint doesn't look long, but it's quite heavy."
Ling Yun picked up two of them casually, scraped off the wax on them with a kitchen knife, took out a rag, poured it on the ground, and out came ten white silver ingots, each containing two or five taels of gold. One, I roughly counted.
This bamboo joint is fifty taels. These thirty or forty bamboo joints, added together, amount to thousands of taels of wealth. Ling Yun instantly felt like he was worried about having too much money.
In the past, her family was poor, and she was not as worried as she is now. If these things were known, it would be possible for her family to be killed and their property taken away by gangsters.
Suddenly having money, sometimes I really don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse. It depends on what the people who have it will do with it.
The people in the pit finally stopped throwing bamboo sticks upward, and four heads covered with sweat and dust stuck out, "No more, what should we do with this pit?"
"Return to the original state, you can't just leave it like this!" Seeing that the three children who had just been cleaned turned into mud monkeys again, Ling Yun had no choice but to go to the kitchen to boil some more hot water.
There are many strange things in the world, but today Huzi and the others opened their eyes with Sister Lingyun and Brother Youting. One was the first time they saw so much money, and the other was the first time they saw someone carrying potatoes in sacks. Of silver ingots.
Several people opened the seals of the bamboo joints, and the silver ingots were ruthlessly thrown into the sacks one by one. Another sack contained several thousand taels of silver.
Although the amount was terrifyingly large, Ling Yun was not too nervous about the bag of money. After loading it, he simply threw it aside and ignored it.
However, some of these bamboo joints contain not silver ingots, but several well-protected ancient paintings. The color of the painting paper has turned a little yellow, and the ink is slightly oxidized, but the pictures of beautiful women are slightly different. Neither is blurry.
With that swaying figure and soft red lips, Ling Yun unconsciously looked at the painting and then at Su Youting, guessing that this person probably fell into a beauty trap yesterday. He didn't expect such a beauty, but he didn't know if there was anything wrong with it. Not a picture of broadcasting.
She looked like she wanted to talk about gossip, but Su Youting was a little nervous, and said seriously with eyes and noses, "What they changed that day was indeed the appearance in the painting, but I didn't mess around, I only started to kill people. Don't think too much."
"Really?" Ling Yun was unwilling to accept it, and the excitement he wanted to see did not come to fruition.
Su Youting replied simply, "Of course it's true, no matter how beautiful they are, they are not my wife."
The three teenagers joined in the fun and started making noises, "Oh... Sister Ling Yun is your wife, why don't you come here and let us take a look!"
"Go away!" Su Youting pushed the three teenagers out directly and kicked Wu Liang, who was still running behind him, on the butt. "Three skinny monkeys, you dare to make fun of me! You need to deal with it."
Ling Yun also rolled his eyes in shame and shouted loudly at the door, "It seems you are not tired. If not, go and fill the hole!"
It was probably around noon when the three monkeys came back from their work. Su Youting took them to clean up. Instead of dealing with them in the house, they went to the street. Ling Yun originally wanted to give them a good reward. Everyone, I want to go to the restaurant that used to sell beef to treat me to dinner.
However, Hu Zi, a kid with a quick mind, took Ling Yun directly to the stall selling steamed buns in Dongshi, "Sister, let's eat this. It's oily and fragrant, and it's still filling. We rough pigs can't eat fine chaff." "
Ling Yun smiled and poked his finger on Huzi's head, "You, little money-mad Douzi, okay, okay, then I'll eat the buns as you say!"
Forty meat buns as big as fists and five vegetable buns were eaten by herself. The boss was happy when the boss came to make a big deal. The vegetable buns were given directly without charging a penny. Ten of them should be enough to eat.
I bought two more oil-paper lanterns on the way, and Linglong also carried a bundle of hemp rope.
At noon, they went back to the house to rest for a while, and after eating a full meal, the few of them were ready to attack the last well. After looking at the two treasure places in front of them, they were already quite mentally prepared for this place, but they also knew that This is the big head, and this is Jin Yuanbao's nest.
One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. The gold ingot last night was only five taels, so I will give it back to fifty taels of silver...
Even Su Youting was so nervous that his hands were shaking a little, but when he stood on the platform of the well and looked down, he had no idea. The mouth of the well was slippery, and the depth below was unknown. How to go down to find things, and where they were, they called them. In trouble.
Fortunately, Ling Yun had an idea, "This wellhead is not big. Place a shovel across it, tie a rope around your waist, and hold a lantern. When you go down, don't just look at the bottom of the well, but pay more attention to the walls on both sides."
With these reminders, Su Youting took the lead and was the first to tie the rope. When he went down, he did not forget to tell the three young men, don't all come down, leaving one to pull the bucket.
There was a wooden windlass on the well platform, which was mainly used to facilitate drawing water. Huzi and Zhang Chunliang followed Su Youting down the well one after another, while Wu Liang and Ling Yun were on top to support them.
Not long after they went down, the ropes tied around their waists began to shake violently. Ling Yun stuck his head out and looked down, and saw three people hanging in the middle of the dark well, unable to reach the sky or the ground, kicking their feet. On the well wall, a hand grasped the depression in the well wall and was waving to it.
To say that he was still a young man at heart, Huzi took down the lantern stuck on the collar of his back with excitement, and moved closer to the wall of the well with one hand raised. Only then did Ling Yun see clearly that the wall of the well had indeed been tampered with.
On the inner wall of the well, several large square holes were dug out in the sunken position. Under the light, you can vaguely see jars of pickles placed inside, with their mouths sealed. I didn't expect it to be ready so quickly. Something was discovered.
Wu Liang put the empty bucket down to a height where they could reach it, and Su Youting took the lead in picking up a jar with one hand.
It can be seen that these jars are quite heavy. Even Su Youting was hit by the weight and sank downwards. He slipped a little. After he stabilized his body, he told the other two teenagers, "Be careful, the jars are very heavy. Control them." Just be careful not to fall into the water."
