Chapter 43: Secrets in the Secret Base

Sun Heng's brother came quickly, and after he arrived, Li Huanhuan and I were also freed, and it is said that it was an order he brought that saved us. After seeing the order, the public security bureau here let Li Huanhuan and me walk out of the hotel and regain our freedom.

This was naturally achieved by Sun Heng begging Chen Lao for help. Li Huanhuan and I hurriedly thanked Chen Lao and Sun Heng, and then rested for two days to make sure that no one was following us, and then took Sun Heng's brother, Ying Sanyou, to the abandoned mine located in the mountainous area in the western part of the province.

Ying Sanyou is a master who does not speak easily, and he has said two words in three days since he met us. One sentence is "My name is Ying Sanyou"; The other sentence is "Sun Heng called me". As for the rest, whatever I asked him, he didn't say a word, just looked at me and smiled.

I don't know if it's his character, or his habits, or the rules of their troops. Anyway, after I tried again and again, I decided not to talk to Ying Sanyou anymore.

Li Huanhuan didn't care about this, she concentrated on driving the way, as if she was the only one in the car.

When we arrived at the mine, it was already 4:10 p.m. After getting out of the car, Li Huanhuan took us on a mountain road for nearly ten kilometers before we came to a very hidden abandoned mine crossing.

Regarding the reason for abandoning the car and taking the mountain road instead, Li Huanhuan explained: "The car will leave traces and it is easy to be tracked, so it is safer to walk." ”

Ying Sanyou was already a little anxious, he was probably worried that the light would be too dark at night and would affect his work, so as soon as he arrived at the place, he couldn't wait to untie his backpack and rushed into the mine that had already appeared in front of us.

Li Huanhuan and I immediately followed, and soon came to a steel gate.

Li Huanhuan stepped forward and opened this door, she had opened this door, and she knew that it was so open, so it was very smooth.

Ying Sanyou smiled and gave Li Huanhuan a thumbs up, but still didn't speak.

We walked in together, and after a while, we saw the second gate that Li Huanhuan said. The door is made of alloy and has a numeric keypad on it, which is instantly recognizable as an electronic combination lock.

Li Huanhuan and I took the initiative to retreat and give up the place to Ying Sanyou. I also took a flashlight to guard behind me to prevent anyone from breaking in and sneaking up on us.

This is the secret base of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society, and apart from a very few people who know about it, not many people know about its existence. But I prepared anyway, just in case.

Li Huanhuan is in charge of staring at Ying Sanyou's work, and she is still very uneasy about Ying Sanyou, who is not familiar with her.

Ying Sanyou is a professional after all, and he quickly opened this second door, and it looked effortless.

We continued to walk inside, and soon we saw the third gate. This portal is very peculiar, there is nothing on the door panel, just a whole iron plate. Li Huanhuan and I felt strange, and Ying Sanyou was also puzzled, looking back at me and Li Huanhuan from time to time.

I couldn't help but come forward to observe, and after a long time, I admit defeat and retreat. Li Huanhuan was the same, and after observing for a while, he had to retreat.

Ying Sanyou's face began to sweat, and soon, he was sweating like rain in the winter, and he was stumped.

I saw him take out the fine instruments one by one, try them one by one, and put them back one by one. After such an hour, Ying Sanyou sat on the ground very decadently, with a look of disappointment and helplessness. He finally said his third sentence: "Can't open." ”

Li Huanhuan and I were in a hurry, and we went forward for a while to observe and touch, and even beat, but in the end it was the same result - I couldn't open it.

There wasn't any keyhole or keypad or anything like that, and I didn't see any buttons or anything like that, so how could I open the door?

I was lost in deep thought and didn't move for a long time.

Ying Sanyou also looked meditative on the side, and he didn't move.

Li Huanhuan was still looking around for something that might be a mechanism or a button, but there was no progress.

We were blocked here at the third gate and completely lost our bearings.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it has been, seeing that Ying Sanyou has no way, and Li Huanhuan is no longer looking for the mechanism, I suddenly remembered a story:

It is said that once upon a time, there was a rich man, when he was dying, he wanted to choose a really smart person among his three sons to inherit his family business. So the rich man came up with a question to test his three sons, and invited family and friends to come and testify. The question is: how to buy something that can fill an entire room with just one copper coin.

The rich man's three sons each took a copper coin to the street to buy something that would fill a room, while the rich man stayed at home and waited for news.

Soon, the eldest son of the rich man bought back a cart of straw. After the rich man saw it, he just nodded and did not speak.

The rich man's second son soon bought back a large pile of cotton. After the rich man saw it, he just nodded and did not speak.

The family and friends present thought it was strange that the straw bought by the eldest son could not completely fill the entire room, but it was not much closer, and it could be said that it met the requirements of the rich man. The cotton bought by the second son was the same, basically meeting the requirements of the rich man. But why didn't the rich man speak? Isn't he satisfied?

Just when the relatives and friends were puzzled, the third son returned, empty-handed, with only a small candle in his pocket. Almost all of them were puzzled, they thought that it was impossible for this small candle to fill such a large room, and the third son would definitely lose this time.

The rich man laughed and happily announced, "It is my third son who has won, and he will inherit my family property......"

Everyone, including the eldest son and the second son, did not understand, thinking that this was the favoritism of the rich man to the third son, and the test was unfair, and asked the rich man to explain.

The rich man just smiled and told everyone to wait, saying that everyone would fully understand it in the evening. But in the evening, when it was pitch black, when the third son lit the candle and made the whole room bright, everyone was speechless.

It's just a story that a lot of people know, but I think of something else: it's our habitual thinking, which is not necessarily right in many cases. It may mislead us into dealing with problems or things we encounter according to our habits, and the result may be completely wrong and not achieve the desired results. So sometimes, we have to think from a different perspective and solve the problems we encounter in a different way. It turns out that many times, from a different perspective, the problems we encounter are no longer problems, and they are easily solved by us.

Now all the three of us have been thinking about is how to open this door. In the habitual thinking, to open this door, you must first find the keyhole of this door, then find the key, and then you can do it. Or a modern electronic combination lock, then you have to find the password keypad, and then know the password, and enter the password on the line...... Wait, wait.

But we're having a problem here right now, we can't find the keyhole, we can't find the PINpad. Do we have to think about it from a different perspective? If the door is not an ordinary door at all, does not require a key to open, and does not require any code to open, then that means ......

Thinking of this, I suddenly shouted: "I know how to open it......"

Ying Sanyou and Li Huanhuan turned to look at me together, their eyes full of doubt. I took a few steps forward and pushed the iron door in front of me hard, when I heard a soft sound. I was overjoyed, and made sure my suspicions were true, so I said, "Come and help, this door should be pushed open with a force, not with a key or something." ”

Ying Sanyou reacted immediately and stepped forward to help me look at the door when he pushed the door. Li Huanhuan also figured it out after a while of doubt, and hurriedly came up to help.

The iron door was pushed hard by the three of us, and it quickly slid inside, and was slowly opened.

At this time, Li Huanhuan and Ying Sanyou looked at me with a little more look in their eyes, I was worried that they would ask more, so I hurriedly said, "I suddenly thought of it." Let's hurry up and go inside, we've been delayed a lot. ”

Ying Sanyou gave me a thumbs up and left first. Li Huanhuan took my hand and praised me very generously: "Good look, worthy of the person I like Li Huanhuan, smart enough!" ”

I laughed, stopped talking, and pulled Li Huanhuan to chase after Sanyou.

I quietly asked Li Huanhuan on the way: "How many more doors are there?" Why is it endless? ”

Li Huanhuan thought for a while and said carefully: "There may be a last door, I have heard of it before, but I don't know the specific situation." ”

By the time we caught up with Ying Sanyou, he was already busy outside the fourth gate. This time he worked very hard, and after a while, he opened the door, stretched out his hand to me and Li Huanhuan, and signaled that we could move forward.

Li Huanhuan entered first, Ying Sanyou and I glanced at each other, and he walked in second, and I walked in third.

There are four gates in total, and it's really true. This time, less than fifty meters into it, we saw a partition wall made of stone and cement, and at the top of the partition wall there was a small window, and I could see what was inside at a glance.

It was a row of large tin boxes, each one half cubic-sized, and it looked like a tin box for storage. These tin boxes were neatly placed on the ground, and even the floor was covered with large carpets, apparently to protect them from moisture and shocks.

At this time, Ying Sanyou suddenly said to me and Li Huanhuan: "My task is complete. When he had said this, he turned and walked away, without even asking what was in the big tin boxes.

I didn't say much, so I gave Ying Sanyou a ride, and I didn't return until he walked out of this mine.

Li Huanhuan had already started rummaging in front of those iron boxes at this time. I saw that the tin boxes she opened contained guns, bullets, grenades, clothes, shoes, etc., and they looked like warehouses. But I didn't see the money, and I don't know if it was put in the rest of the box.

I hurriedly rummaged through the boxes, opening them one by one to see if there was any money or anything of value. As for guns, ammunition and clothing, we don't think about taking them away and selling them for money. One is that the state does not allow it, and the other is that Li Huanhuan and I can't move them at all. However, I still had an extra eye on it, and picked out two good-looking pistols to stick in my waist in case I needed them.

Li Huanhuan saw that I did this, and also stepped forward to take a small pistol and hid it closely. We rummaged through the flashlights here for a while, and finally looked at almost all the boxes, but we never found the cash Li Huanhuan said.

Li Huanhuan was a little anxious and a little discouraged: "Will there be no money at all?" It's a warehouse, so the money won't be hidden here. ”

As soon as I thought about it, I picked up my flashlight and began to look around. Li Huanhuan, like me, began to look around the mine.

I felt that maybe this time we would not gain anything, so I was a little absent-minded when I searched for it. Li Huanhuan was very serious, she almost stopped step by step, and looked very carefully.

Li Huanhuan and I met quickly, and no one found anything. I sat on a box with clothes, picked up a black dress worn by **** people, and was about to speak, but at a glance I saw a stack of money under the clothes.

I immediately called Li Huanhuan over and pointed it out to Li Huanhuan. Li Huanhuan was overjoyed and shouted, "It turned out that we were hiding here, and we finally found ......"

She quickly threw out the clothes in several boxes of clothes, and there were literally stacks of coins in the boxes.

This stack seems to be 10,000 pieces, and we found a total of 10 stacks, which is 100,000 pieces.

Looking at the 100,000 yuan in front of me, I was very excited, I have never seen so much money at once in my life, how can I not be excited?

Li Huanhuan was very calm, looked at the 100,000 yuan, and said disdainfully: "What is this?" 100,000 yuan, what can you do? Buying a bathroom is not enough...... No, there must be money here, we just didn't find out. Look again. ”

I wondered in my heart, and I couldn't help but say, "I've found 100,000 yuan, will there be any more?" ”

Li Huanhuan nodded affirmatively: "As far as I know, there are at least five million in cash stored here, and we only found one hundred thousand, what is this?" ”

So Li Huanhuan and I continued to rummage through each box and took out almost everything and put it on the ground. Soon, the ground was full of guns, ammunition, clothes, and the like, but unfortunately we never found any cash.

Li Huanhuan was very unwilling to wander around in place, and quickly said: "There must be a secret grid here, we haven't found it, I think we will put all these things back into the box, and then look carefully." ”

I didn't want to say much, seeing that Li Huanhuan was very excited, so I helped her put those things back in the box one by one, and put them neatly by the way.

By the time we were done, I was tired and a little hungry. Looking at the time, it was already the next morning, and we had been looking for it all night.

Li Huanhuan was also a little tired, while sitting on a box to rest, he took out food from the backpack we brought and handed it to me: "Eat something, if you can't find it, forget it, it's our life, we are fortunate to come here, but we only found 100,000 yuan......"

I smiled while eating: "100,000 yuan is a lot, enough for me and Dongfang Yu to go to school." You know that the people in our hometown can't earn this amount of money in their lifetime, and they are not very satisfied with their lives......"

Li Huanhuan was angry and funny, and couldn't help but say, "What do you know? 100,000 yuan is a lot of money in the countryside, but if you want to gain a foothold in the provincial capital, it is enough to buy a bathroom, do you want me to sleep on the street in the future? ”

I also know that the current housing prices are really ridiculously expensive, and 100,000 yuan is really enough to buy a bathroom, so I said: "Then let's rest for a while and then look for it, maybe we will find money." ”

Li Huanhuan stood up suddenly, stomped his feet vigorously, and said, "If I don't find this money, I won't go back......"

Li Huanhuan stomped her feet, and I forgot to eat the food in my hand, because I found a problem: Li Huanhuan's feet were empty, and when she stomped her feet, there was an empty sound.

Li Huanhuan saw that I was stunned, and she immediately discovered this, and quickly stomped her foot again, and after listening carefully, she put down the food in her hand and was overjoyed: "This ...... Below this is an empty ......"

I hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a military dagger nearby, and slashed it along the gap in the carpet on the ground. The carpet had been cut by a dagger, and I immediately saw an iron plate underneath. The iron plate is a separate one, surrounded by concrete floors, but here it is laid with iron plates.

Li Huanhuan looked happy, helped me pry the iron plate open, and threw the iron plate aside by the way.

This time, I saw that I had never seen a mountain of money in the first half of my life. My eyes forgot to blink, and they widened wide enough. Staring at millions in cash and not knowing what to do.

Li Huanhuan was calmer than me, and after she glanced at it, she said to me: "Finally found it, Jincang, we will have money in a while, and we will no longer be as poor as before......"

I nodded in a daze, forgetting to speak, just staring at the money. Even the glittering jewels next to the money were automatically ignored by me.

Li Huanhuan liked those jewelry more, grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully, and said happily: "It's all true, Jincang, we have made a fortune." ”

I nodded again, but said blankly, "With so much money, how can we move back?" It's heavy......"

Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'll go drive, you pack all these things...... Just pack it in these iron boxes, and I'll come and carry it for you later. ”

I immediately agreed, hurriedly brought over a box full of clothes, and began to pack all the money and jewelry into the box.

I counted the numbers as I packed them, and the money was no longer 10,000 stacks, but 100,000 piles, which were easy to count. This time I was full of energy, I put all my strength into the money, and the more I pretended, the more excited I became.

After about twenty minutes, I felt very tired and tired, and I stopped. At this time, I had already packed 4.5 million yuan into the box, and I don't know how many jewelry, anyway, a box and a half cubic meters was almost half full. In fact, the cash of 4.5 million does not take up much space, but those things such as jewelry that are still packaged in it take up more space.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to move it all in one box, so I took another box, emptied it, and started to load it again.

The money here is far more than Li Huanhuan thought before that of five million, I counted while pretending, and after a while, it reached nine million. Seeing that there is still a lot of money under the iron plate, I roughly estimated that the money here is at least 12 million, plus those jewelry and jewelry, I am afraid that it is worth tens of millions.

Of course, I didn't know anything about jewelry, and I didn't know how much they were worth, and I only estimated the value of anything other than cash.

After loading the three boxes, I finally completed the task of packing, and I was tired and sweaty, but I was very excited, and I didn't feel tired at all.

At this time, Li Huanhuan hadn't come over yet, so I tried to drag the box out by myself. You can't move it, you can only drag it out.

I don't know if it's the power of money, but I really dragged a box out by myself this time. If I were to carry something else, I don't think I would have been able to do this task.

I was also so excited that I dragged all three boxes of money, jewelry, and jewelry to the side of the dirt road outside the mine. I still hid the box in a more secret place, and found some dead grass to cover it. lest it be seen by someone passing by.

The high-level leaders of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society have been wiped out, and no one else knows about this secret base, which is just convenient for us. At least we're looking for money here, and no one else comes to bother us.

I waited outside the mine for a while, but I didn't see Li Huanhuan's car coming. So he entered the mine again, greedily divided the box of guns and ammunition into two boxes, and then dragged them outside.

At this time, Li Huanhuan finally came over, the space in the car she drove over this time was still relatively large, I put a box full of money with her in the car, and then poured all the money and jewelry into this box, which happened to be a full box. As for the two boxes with guns and ammunition, we just put them together into one box, carried them to the car and put them away.

Li Huanhuan asked me at this time: "Have you taken all the money?" ”

I nodded and said excitedly, "I counted, and there are almost twelve million in cash." By the way, should we go get some weapons? I think there's a lot of all kinds of weapons in there. ”

Li Huanhuan hesitated slightly, then shook his head: "No need, we are not going to fight, why do we need so many weapons?" It's better to get out of here sooner, and things will change later. ”

As soon as I thought about it, I followed Li Huanhuan and said, "Then let's go, where are you going?" ”

Li Huanhuan started the car and said as he walked: "I want to go to your hometown to see, if it is suitable, I will buy a house in the county town of your hometown to live." Of course, when you go to school, I will follow you to school, and I have to watch you. ”

I couldn't help laughing, watching Li Huanhuan laugh unscrupulously, I felt like I was in a dream.
