Xie Miao and Zheng Zheng were talking in a loud voice, Wang Si, Xu San and Xiao Wu could hear it, but the three of them were eating and drinking on the side, and they didn't care what they said between them. Wang Si and Xu San both knew these things in their hearts, and it was the same whether they listened or not.

"Because the environment has not allowed it, this treasure cave has never been opened, and the key has been handed down, but no one has mentioned it. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Miao sighed and said, "If the three Xie families had been in this village all along, or if they had always been in this city, there would not have been so many things later, but it's a pity...... My great-grandfather had taken refuge in the village, but the other two families had their homes in Huayin City. When my grandfather's generation came into the 10-year Cultural Revolution, there was nothing to do, but when the urban youth went to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants, the children of the other two families were going to the mountains and the countryside. ”

Zheng Zheng followed the history of the Xie family that Xie Miao said in his head, and the organization gradually became clear.

"One of the families had no sons, so the keys could only be passed down to the only daughter in the family. And when the daughter of that family was in the countryside, she happened to carry that share with her

, originally meant as a thought, homesick to see, always a sustenance. ”

When Xie Miao said this, Zheng Zheng couldn't help but interrupt and frowned: "This...... The key is very important, if you don't hide it at home, you probably can't sleep well, how can you let your daughter take it away?"

Xie Miao looked at Zheng Zheng, shook his head and said: "In the environment at that time, if there is this thing at home and it is discovered by others, it is very likely to be characterized as 'feudal thought', and it is not safe to put it at home." In addition, it was impossible to open the treasure cave in the social environment at that time, in fact, during that time, the three families did not have any idea of opening the treasure cave, and did not think that this matter was very important. Now it seems that it was a mistake not to keep those two keys properly, but at the time, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with that, after all, we had to look at these things in hindsight to see so clearly. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded and agreed with Xie Miao's statement.

Xie Miao continued: "And the other family also let their descendants who went to the countryside take away the key, the difference is that it is the only male in the family who takes the key. ”

"Then these two keys ......" Although he knew that something must have happened in the middle, Xie Miao said this, Zheng Zheng hadn't figured out where the change was, so it caused two of the three keys to fall into the hands of Xu San and Wang Si.

"It's simple. Xie Miao chuckled: "The woman of the Xie family fell in love with a young man after she went to the countryside, and later when the young man returned to the city, she also followed him to the city where the young man was;

When he was dying, the man gave the key to the female intellectual, and asked her to return the key to his home. It's a pity that it wasn't so easy to stay at that time, and I waited until the female educated youth returned to the city to look for it, but I couldn't find the home of the man of the Xie family. ”

"What's wrong?" Zheng Zheng asked. It's not that he wants to be a curious baby, but knowing these past events can increase his understanding of this treasure cave and Wang Si and Xu San, and it is of course better to know a little more.

"Dead ......" Xie Miao sighed softly, shook his head and said: "According to my father, the parents of the Xie family man died of tuberculosis, and this disease was difficult to treat under the medical conditions at that time, and there was no way to do it. ”

Later, the woman of the Xie family married the male intellectual, surnamed Wang, and gave birth to a child, but died of dystocia, but the key was left in the male intellectual's home. As for the female intellectual, she returned to her city after searching for no way, and was introduced to get married, and the part of the key was left in his house. ”

Xie Miao took a sip of water and continued: "It was also a few years ago that the two of them bumped into each other without knowing why, and they also knew that the other party had something that could match the things handed down from their own homes, and then they followed the vine and finally found the clues to Huayin City and found me. ”

"Then you can cooperate with the two of them, how good is it for the three of you to open this treasure cave together and share the money together?" Zheng Zheng wondered.

Xie Miao's expression was serious, and his tone was resolute: "This is the accumulation of our Xie family over the generations, and the hard work of our Xie family's ancestors!

"Share, hehe......" Xu Santou, who was sitting with Wang Sixiao and Wu to eat and drink, didn't reply, and said after laughing twice: "I wanted to share it with you before, but you woman doesn't know how to lift, so forget it." But if I open the treasure cave successfully, maybe I'm in a good mood and will reward you with a couple of jujubes, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart. ”

As soon as Xu San's words came out, Zheng Zheng immediately raised his understanding of Xu San to a higher level, he had really seen a shameless person, but he had never seen such a shameless person. But also, now that the faces of the two parties are all torn, even if Xu San and Xie Miao share the things in the treasure cave, Xie Miao doesn't miss the two of them, since this is the case, it is better to save that share.

After a pause, Xu San stood up and walked over to Zheng Zheng and the others, and said, "Now you know the ins and outs of the matter, okay, it's time to do things now." ”

"Wait. Zheng Zheng waved his hand, although he knew all these things, there were some very important issues that Zheng Zheng still didn't know in his heart.

He looked at Xie Miao and frowned and asked, "So when I saw you that day, those gangsters didn't ask for money, but wanted to break in to find the jade pillar?"

This is also a pimple in Zheng Zheng's heart, if he was led by this woman because of his kindness to help, Zheng Zheng really couldn't say which side he would stand on Xie Miao and Xu San. This feeling of being used as an outcast, Zheng Zheng doesn't like it very much.

Listening to Zheng Zheng's words with an inquiring tone, Xie Miao knew that Zheng Zheng had doubts about this matter, and explained: "I handed over the jade pillar to you to avoid the two of them. But don't think about it, I'm not trying to get the two of them to find you, but I want them to not find this jade pillar, and it's best to let this jade pillar sell from your store. ”

In the end, Xie Miao stared at Xu San who was smiling with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said angrily: "But I didn't expect them to jump off the wall in a hurry and use this method......"

"One last question," Zheng Zheng's brows furrowed even tighter, "How did they find me?"

Xie Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zheng Zheng was about to say something, but Xu San laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's really not what she said, because I really didn't plan to tie her up at that time." Her whereabouts were told to me by my eyeliner, and although I lost this woman in the middle and couldn't find your store immediately, I still found it by checking carefully. You know what happened next, we went to your store the next day and bought this jade pillar. ”

"If you've got everything you want, why are you kidnapping us?"

Zheng Zheng really couldn't figure out Xu San's thoughts, since everything was already in hand, let's take the treasure and make a fortune, what kind of kidnapping routine is playing? Could it be that this treasure cave will still identify the bloodline of the Xie family? But even if things can be ridiculous to this point of being a bit mysterious, then it has nothing to do with him, what kind of thing is it that he is lying down and being shot in anger?

Xu San nodded and said with a smile: "You finally got to the point—the reason is very simple, and this is exactly why I have to invite you over." Xu San pointed to the stone wall facing the exit of the cave and said, "If the three keys are together, you can't open this treasure cave at all." We thought it was this woman playing some tricks, so we went to him first. But then I didn't ask anything useful, so I had to ask you. After all, you're the best at it. ”

Following the direction of Xu San's finger, with a little light, Zheng Zheng saw a hole the size of a bowl on the stone wall, and it was black inside.

Zheng Zheng stood up, took a closer look, turned his head and asked, "This is the treasure cave...... Uh, the keyport?"

"That's what it means. Xu San nodded and said: "But after collecting a set of keys, I can't open this lock, so I have to let you see which of these three keys is real and which is fake." ”

Zheng Zheng nodded, knowing his role. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you two be sure that you two are real?"

Xu San and Wang Si glanced at each other and said, "It's absolutely true, no one has paid attention to these two keys before, and no one will imitate them." ”

"Mine is also true. Xie Miao said coldly: "Before this, it didn't make sense for me to fake this, I didn't have to do it." After you came to the door and tried to take this jade pillar, I didn't have time to imitate it. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded, supporting Xie Miao's statement: "What she said is true, that jade pillar is made of mutton fat jade, and it is not easy to have such a large piece left after carving, and those who can find this are not willing to use it to make a fake." If you carve it well, the value will be turned up, but I don't know how much, but it is much more valuable than a cylinder with little interest and artistic conception. ”

After a pause, he said: "You two take out your part of the 'key' and let me see it, since it is for me to distinguish the authenticity, I can't guess if I can't see things, right?"

"Hmm......"

Xu San didn't rush to move, he frowned and touched his chin, then looked at Zheng Zheng and asked, "Are you confident that the jade pillar is real, it won't be a fake?"

Zheng Zheng nodded and said: "I still have this confidence, not to mention the material, the traces of the lines on it alone will not be made in a short period of time, the edges of the lines on the jade pillar are rounded, and they are obviously not newly carved." ”

"That's ......"

Xu San nodded, smiled, glanced at Xie Miao, and took out a knife from his waist.

With a "dang long", Xu San threw the knife in front of Zheng Zheng.
