The Shen family's house was still brightly lit at night, and when Meng Yi rushed back, it seemed that the old man Shen, who had been prepared, was waiting for her in the study, and it was said that he still left a message, as long as Meng Yi came, no matter what he was doing, he would bring her over immediately. The Shen family www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion looked solemn, and it was obvious that they all smelled danger.

Xu Lang was left outside, although he booked a ticket for the night, but in the end he chose to change, he was not worried about Mengyi, but even more worried about the problems she might face.

In the study, the grandfather and grandson faced each other again, and the old man Shen had only been seen for half a month, and he looked a lot older, but when he looked at Mengyi, his eyes were still full of love.

"So you still saw the woman in white, right?" Old Man Shen sighed lightly and said, "Actually, a few days ago, I received an email from them, reminding me that their envoy has arrived and will talk to you soon. I just didn't expect them to move so fast. That woman's mother is Bai Yuanyuan, and her name is Bai Xue, right? ”

"Yes. She...... It's the same sister I saw when I was a kid. Mengyi felt that his heart was shaking, and the secret of many years was finally explained to him by his grandfather? She just didn't quite understand what role her grandfather played in the whole thing?

Old Man Shen sighed lightly, and only after a while did he speak: "Okay, all secrets will be passed down from generation to generation. I'm going to talk about a legend about our family and other families, but few people will believe it. In the mid-19th century, there was a large number of ...... Even our people have crossed the ocean to foreign countries, and they all have a dream of gold rush in their hearts, and it is said that the land is full of glittering gold. It was a crazy time because there were so many people pouring into that place. Because communication was not developed at that time, later people could no longer imagine what they had experienced there, only that it was a few people who made a fortune, and most of them ...... Never came back. According to later legends, there were riots and many people died in that gold rush place. ”

Dream blinked a few times, of course she had seen in textbooks that there was a sudden gold rush on the other side of the ocean in the 19th century. It's hard to imagine the madness of that period, but it's a real fact, but what does it have to do with yourself? Mengyi looked at his grandfather and waited quietly for him to continue.

"Although we don't know how many people lost their lives in those accidents. But the group of people who survived, relying on their luck and prudence, obtained a lot of money. We have an old saying that money is not exposed, and those who have crossed the ocean believe in this truth, so they still live in poverty, and only after the gold rush has ebbed and then do they settle in one place and become a small Chinese tribe. In order to save their lives and prevent outsiders from coveting the money, they hid them somewhere first. In the interest of justice, someone memorized the location, someone was in charge of the keys, and there was a group of people who were in charge of the treasures. Although Old Man Shen's tone was still very calm, it was obvious that he was starting to become a little excited.

It must have been a period of swords, after all, the original gold rush was not as passionate as the movies of later generations, countless young lives fell in that turbulent years, and countless people realized their dreams. Mengyi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, is there really any treasure map?" You don't mean that what they hid was the gold they found in the first place, did you? ”

"Treasure map? What age is it now? Which one also has a treasure map? No safer place is, of course, to invest your money, and then use it to generate more money. After all, in those days, making money was not as difficult as imagined. The amount of money is surprisingly large. The money earned, for the sake of safety, has always been in Citibank. The old man still had that thick expression on his face.

Yumeichi was silent, and after a while she asked hesitantly, "But these ...... It has nothing to do with us, right? ”

This sentence silenced Old Man Shen, and he sighed after a while and said, "I can't say that it doesn't matter, because my great-grandfather was a member of the army that crossed the ocean to pan for gold together, and later because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended as a small leader." Later, his daughter, my aunt, became the first messenger to be elected to protect the money...... And so it was passed down from generation to generation, and then something happened - a chosen messenger, like your mother...... You should call your aunt's girl...... He died in an accident. They had to look for the right people from the Shen family again. In the end, I chose your mother, who was indeed a wonderful child, and the only girl of that generation......"

"Emissary? Protect that treasure? "Yumeichi couldn't believe his ears, what an old story is this? Are you sure this isn't just a story? However, when she was very young, she seemed to have heard such a story from her mother, and she thought it was just a cruel story.

"To be precise, there is a part of the power to use that money, but at the same time, you have to become the guardian of that money, and you can't have any contact with people in the outside world for the rest of your life, in order to ensure the safety of that money." Old Man Shen's expression looked so sad, and he let out a long sigh, "It seems that a strange circle has been formed, everyone has to stick to their mission, and they have to ensure that all people live in a small circle and are not in contact with each other. When the need arises, such as when there is a large investment, or when there is an important need to use that money, there will be a council of elders composed of the oldest people, and after the instructions are given, there will be special people to gather these people, and after the vote, they will be passively used. ”

Mengyi suddenly laughed, but there were tears in her eyes, "Speaking of which, I heard my mother mention it, and she said that she was actually a miser...... It's not wrong to describe her identity like that, right? ”

"Originally, she shouldn't have been such a fate, let alone bear such a responsibility, and this beginning was unfair to her." There seemed to be a streamer in Old Man Shen's eyes.
