Uncle Li Jianzhong felt that the stove pit was not very safe, and said: "Hiding in the stove pit, people will see it as soon as they open the board, no, no." If you want me to say, just hide it in the stove and cover it with something."

Brothers Li Fugui and Li Fuxuan nodded yes when they heard this. After discussing it together, they couldn't think of a better hiding place, so they decided on this one. So the brothers began to get busy, and together they transferred the gold bars and silver ingots to the stove, which was not troublesome in practice, and just threw them directly through the stove. Li Fucai and several other cousins wanted to come up to help, but Li Fugui stopped them, saying that there was such a big place near the stove, and they couldn't stand away when there were too many people. Li Fucai and the others had no choice but to stand by and stare at it, with a bright light in their eyes.

Li Rui looked at this scene with a smile, thinking that you have taken the people outside as fools, and you will definitely be bullied by people as fools soon, if you don't believe it, just wait and see.

The Li Fugui brothers were busy for a while, throwing most of the gold bars and silver ingots into the stove. Li Jianzhong counted the numbers and finally came up with the number of gold bars: sixteen gold bars were hidden, and four were left outside, and thirty-five silver yuan treasures were left, and ten were left outside. This is because Li Fugui heard Li Rui say that silver ingots are not valuable, so he deliberately left a few more and gathered ten outside, otherwise there may only be five or six left.

After the hiding was over, Li Fugui was going to go out and call those people outside in and have a showdown with them to "share the spoils".

Li Rui stopped him with words, pointed to the clay pot on the ground that was not completely broken, and said: "Big brother, you have to act really well, right? Such a big jar only contains such a small gold bar ingot, do you think those people outside will believe it?"

When Li Fugui heard this, it made sense, but he didn't want to give in, so he snorted and said, "Who said that when you hide treasures, you must fill the jar?

Li Fuzhuan glanced at Li Rui unconvinced, and said helpfully: "That's it, let's just say that there is only one point, can those live bandits outside turn the sky upside down?"

Li Rui saw that he kindly reminded him, but in exchange for their raising of the bar, he secretly sneered in his heart, and said, "Okay, I didn't say anything." ”

Li Jianzhong felt that Li Rui's words were very reasonable, and said, "Xiao Rui, what do you want to say?"

Li Rui said: "Uncle, I mean, completely break this clay pot, turn it all into pieces, and then pile the pieces aside, so that outsiders can't see the original size of this jar." Those people outside don't know the original size of this jar, so it is difficult to deduce how much gold and silver was inside. ”

Li Jianzhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, it should be like this, then let's do it." Fu Shu, you put away the gold bars and silver ingots and put them on the kang. Fucai, you brothers smashed this jar. ”

And they received the commandment, and did as they were told. Soon, the four gold bars and ten silver ingots left behind were put on the kang, and the jar was also knocked into pieces by Li Fucai and others, and piled up in an inconspicuous corner of the wall.

"Hey, what the hell is this?

When Li Fucai was cleaning the fragments of the clay pot, he suddenly found something and shouted.

"What?

When Li Fuxuan heard this, he immediately became excited, and immediately came to Li Fucai's side, followed the direction of his gaze, and saw that there was a black and slimy iron lump embedded in the bottom of the jar, the diameter was the same as the bottom of the jar, seven or eight centimeters up and down, five or six centimeters thick, the shape was plain and white, but it was strange to see through the strands, after all, it was really strange for an iron lump to appear in the jar where the gold and silver treasures were hidden.

"Ah, I'm looking for some iron to make a good axe at home, I look good at this iron lump, so take it back!"

After Li Fuxuan finished saying these words to himself, he reached down, grabbed this piece of iron lump, picked it up, and exclaimed: "My God, it's so heavy, it's really ...... Solid lumps of iron. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Fugui came to his side, glanced at him, and said, "Bolt, don't rush to take it home first." I said why is this clay pot so heavy, and those gold bars and silver ingots don't add up to that heavy, and I dare to love that this iron lump is staying in it. But what is the point of putting an iron lump in the jar of gold and silver treasures? This is not right. So I thought, is this iron lump a gold lump, just ink on the outside? You put it down, and I'll take a knife and scrape it. ”

This seemed to be on Li Fushuo's mind, his face instantly became unnatural, and he said with a smile: "How is it possible, I said boss, you want to go crazy with gold, this is a lump of iron, I can't measure it? Don't bother with that, just let me take it home." ”

Li Fugui smiled and said, "If it's an iron lump, I'll definitely give it to you for nothing, but I'm afraid it's really gold." Hurry up and put it down, I'll try it with a knife. ”

Li Fuxuan also saw that something was wrong with this iron pimple, and suspected that it was not a gold pimple or a silver pimple, but it was disguised as an iron pimple, so as soon as he came up, he first explained that he was taking it home to fight an axe, in fact, he was looking for an excuse to openly possess it, and then he would find out when he took it home, and he was dreaming of snatching food and making a fortune in his heart.

Li Fugui received it in his hand, weighed it first, and then took it with his left hand, and scraped the surface of the iron pimple with a knife with his right hand, hoping that it was really as he imagined, the outside was just a layer of ink dye, and after scraping it off, what was revealed inside was glittering gold.

Li Fuxuan watched his movements with jealousy and hatred, and prayed maliciously in his heart: "It must not be a gold pimple or a silver pimple, it is better to fuck an iron pimple, and anger him Li Fugui." Damn, he didn't even let his brother point it, he had to grab an iron lump and scratch it to see if it was golden, why was he so dark?"

Li Fugui was quickly disappointed, he scraped several times with a knife, and scraped several places on the front and back sides in a row, but the scraped off were all iron filings, and the black and swarthy inside were also iron, not gold or silver pimples at all, after discovering this, he was a little angry, and handed it to Li Fuzhuan casually, and said: "It's really an iron pimple, then you can take it back and hit the axe." ”

Li Fugui didn't say anything about you at this time? Pouted, he sneered at him and said: "Don't you doubt that it's a golden pimple? Ah? I don't even believe your brother's words, but as a result, isn't it just a piece of scrap iron? Li Fugui is not what I said about you, you are really not a big brother as a big brother, you are a big brother, you are in the eye of money, you don't even believe my words, I said that it is an iron pimple, am I still lying to your treasure? Cut, don't give it to me, I don't want it, keep it for you as a golden pimple to sleep and cuddle with." ”

Li Fugui couldn't hold back his mocking face, but he couldn't say anything, smiled awkwardly, and said, "What do I want it for, if you don't want it, I'll throw it away." After saying that, he threw his hand into the corner of the wall next to him, and said, "I'll go and call them in, and you all be ready, don't say anything later." With that, he walked out the door.

At this time, Li Rui became interested in the iron lump, of course, he was not like Li Fugui's brother, he thought that it was a gold and silver lump disguise, but he felt that since it was put together with gold and silver, it must not be just a solid iron lump, the owner of the clay pot was originally buried with the intention of hiding gold and silver, the purpose was pure and simple, in this case, what is the purpose of putting in an irrelevant piece of scrap iron? Is it used to sink it? It is not used at all, the gold bar and silver ingot itself is very heavy, and there is no need to use the iron lump to suppress it at all. Thinking about it from another angle, the things that can be put together with gold bars and silver ingots must be very valuable in themselves, and it can be inferred from this that the iron lump must have another connotation, maybe there is something greasy in it.

Thinking of this, he walked to the corner of the wall, picked up the iron lump in his hand, didn't pick it up, didn't pick it up, picked it up, hey, good guy, it was really heavy, almost fifteen or sixteen pounds, much heavier than the shot put used in physical education class, holding it in both hands, looking up and down, left, left and right, and seeing that this iron lump should be called an iron pier, in the shape of a cone that has been cut off, the surface is relatively smooth, but the bottom is not too smooth, and there are several lines that are concave inward.

"Huh?"

Li Rui gently stroked the concave lines at the bottom with his hand, touched and touched, but touched a few words similar to the inscription, his heart was abrupt, and when no one was paying attention, he turned the iron pier over, and carefully checked it in the dim light of the roof, but saw that somewhere at the bottom of the pier near the edge, it seemed to be engraved with a few Yin Chinese characters, and the words were twisted and twisted, and the lines were shallow, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it at all. Li Fugui and Li Fuzhuan brothers only cared about the texture of the iron pier and did not find these words.

Seeing this scene, Li Rui was taken aback, his heart beat wildly, knowing that he might have discovered the secret of this iron pier, as long as he took a little more time and figured out the meaning of those words, he would be able to make a greater discovery, but now is not that occasion......

After a moment's thought, he threw the iron pier back to the ground, pretending to be disdainful, but he had already planned in his heart that he would take it home and study it when he left.

At this time, those people outside had also been called into the house by Li Fugui, including three ruthless people from the village; there were three village party secretaries, village chiefs, and village security chiefs; among them, the security chief had just arrived after receiving the news, and after arriving, he could not wait to express his willingness to get a piece of the pie; and there were also four people from the neighborhood. These people add up to a total of ten people, representing the powerful forces in the village. As soon as they entered the house, the dark and cramped east wing was immediately crowded, and there was hardly any place for anyone to stand. Fortunately, the east wing was about to be demolished, and there were no more people living in it, so a few members of the Li family simply stood on the kang and watched.
