Chapter 27 Suspected to be a treasure cave
Sometimes, happiness comes too suddenly, and you can't stop it.
During the injury, Wei Shihao was meticulously cared for by Mo Man and Mo Qinglian, which made the officers and soldiers of the Western Courtyard covetous, especially Xie Yingjun; Of course, Deng Qiantu, the head of the workshop handyman, is no exception.
Although the backer of the Deng family issued an order to assassinate Mo Qinglian and seize the treasure map, and Deng Qiantu also participated in it, even though he couldn't bear to put her to death in his heart, but in front of interests and beauties, he still chose the former.
Is this called love? The answer is clearly no.
If you love someone, you should do your best to protect her, give her happiness, and even give your own life.
Deng Qiantu's admiration for Mo Qinglian is just a man's pursuit of beauty and sexuality, otherwise it would be impossible for him to take a fancy to Mo Qinglian and Mo Man at the same time, and participate in the murder of her.
After the First World War of Menliang Mountain, Deng Qiantu, who was a thief, lived in fear. Every day when he goes to work, he is more diligent and serious than ever, and he is more kind to the people around him, which is called wanting to cover up.
The young Mo Qinglian is not an ordinary shrewd woman, she knows that there is a mole in the workshop, but if she does not grasp some spider and horse traces, she will not investigate the matter lightly, so as not to startle the snake.
For so many years, several forces in Qingyuan Mansion, which seems to dominate one side, have fought openly and secretly, and the relationship is complicated.
The state official is the highest official in Qingyuan Mansion, but the bald situation formed in the mansion for many years, in a short period of time, he does not have the strength to regain his strength and eliminate dissidents.
Mo Qinglian grew up in Qingyuan Mansion, she was witty and brave, and she was very favored by the state officials, so she was entrusted with the important task of taking the treasure map to Jingliu to hunt for treasures.
The treasure is the treasure of the former Yishan County Order, hidden in a cave in the Jingliu area. The treasure map is divided into two parts: a topographic map and a cave route map, one of which is owned by the governor and the other is collected by Mo Huairen, the Tusi of Xincheng.
Mo Huairen had secretly conspired with the governor to jointly develop the treasure, so the governor had looked at the topographic map and determined that the treasure was in the Jingliu area.
It's a pity that before the treasure, Ensheng rebelled to replace Mo Huairen and became the toast, and the topographic map is still missing.
In order to strengthen his strength, the state official sent Mo Qinglian to Jingliu to secretly hunt for treasures, and the establishment of Jingliu Zhuangjin Workshop was just a pretense, wanting to cover up.
In the past few days, Wei Shihao has also been pondering the treasure map.
Mo Qinglian asked him to help in the workshop, and only asked him to draw the mountains and rivers in the Jingliu area and mark the location of the caves of each mountain, instead of him doing the relevant work in the workshop, is this related to the treasure?
Wei Shihao deduced that Mo Qinglian was a ghost, everything she did could deceive others, but it was not so easy to deceive him.
"Yes, the leprechaun made me draw all day, and it must have something to do with the treasure." Wei Shihao deduced in his heart, "She must have a treasure map in her hand...... With a treasure map, why not just develop the treasure? ”
Wei Shihao thought about it, so he couldn't help but walk out of the wing room and take a walk in the courtyard.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in his heart: "Yes, the treasure map in the little goblin's hand must have been damaged for a long time, so that I couldn't find the exact location of the treasure, so I could draw the mountains and rivers of Jingliu, and also mark the location of the caves of each mountain!" Could it be that the treasure is hidden in a cave? I was the only one in the whole village who was interested in stalactite stones, and the goblins must have known that I often drilled caves, so I was asked to paint......"
Thinking of this, Wei Shihao excitedly slammed his right fist into his left palm, and said to himself: "I thought of it!" Sample wants to brutalize me and see how I tease you in the future! ”
Wei Shihao often went to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, and he also had a special penchant for strangely shaped stalactites. Once, on an unnamed boulder mountain near Menliang Mountain, he accidentally discovered a very hidden cave.
At that time, a hare that he had wounded had gotten under a large rock and disappeared.
In order to find his prey, he took great difficulty to remove the large stone.
After removing the big stone, Wei Shihao was surprised to find that there was a cave mouth under the stone.
After inspection, this cave is like an upright large clay pot, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the entrance of the cave is about one zhang away from the bottom of the cave. Only one person is allowed to go down the hole, and it is necessary to descend vertically with the help of ropes or vines.
I saw that the wounded hare had fallen to death at the bottom of the cave.
Out of his hobby of strange stones and wanting to get his prey back, Wei Shihao found vines and went down to the bottom of the cave alone.
After going down to the bottom of the cave, Wei Shihao found that there were still holes in the cave. So, he found hay to make torches and went to the cave to see if there were any stalactites he liked. However, he only walked a foot or two before the passage was blocked by a pile of rubble, so he gave up.
After Wei Shihao came out of the cave, in case people and animals accidentally fell into the hole, he covered the hole with a large stone. Because there was nothing special about the cave and there were no stalactites he wanted, he never mentioned it to anyone.
Now when he connected that the treasure was hidden in the cave in the Jingliu area, Wei Shihao remembered this cave.
"Could it be that the treasure is hidden in this cave? Impossible, right? If there's a treasure there, then I don't tell the goblin, who told you to call me a stinky rascal all day long? Wei Shihao said in his heart.
"Brother, what are you thinking there? Are you getting a good leg? "Li Maozai has been sent to Qingyuan Mansion to do business these days, and he hasn't seen him for a while, and when he saw him walking around the yard alone, thinking about questions, he walked over and asked.
"Oh, didn't think much of it. My legs are all right and I'm going to move back tomorrow. Wei Shihao said.
"That's it! Shopkeeper Mo and Master Mo were drinking tea under the gazebo, and they asked you to come over. Li Maozai said.
Before Wei Shihao could answer, suddenly Deng Qian walked into the East Courtyard.
"Yo, both of you? As it happens, I'm talking to you two about something. Deng Qiantu held a folding fan in his hand and walked in with a smile.
From his gorgeous dress and the folding fan in his hand, he looks like a handyman in a workshop, and he looks like a rich son.
Wei Shihao glanced at the other party and said, "Don't you listen to Li Maozai, does Shopkeeper Mo have something to do with me?" I don't have time to talk to you. ”
"Tsk...... Tut...... Brother Wei is now a celebrity in front of Shopkeeper Mo and Master Mo, and he doesn't care about Deng anymore. Since you're still on business, I'll cut it short! Deng Qiantu said.
Li Maozai couldn't see that Deng Qiantu was not upset, so he immediately said: "There is still something in the kitchen, you talk, I'll go first." ”
"Hey, don't go yet! This matter also has something to do with you. Deng Qiantu said: "A few months ago, didn't you two participate in my cousin's duet in Datangwei? Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, my uncle and father want to give Brother Wei and my cousin Xiang Sina the marriage before the year. Oh, by the way, I'll have to call Brother Wei my cousin-in-law in the future! ”
"What's this? Isn't it all in the past? Why do you bring it up again? Wei Shihao said in surprise.
During the time he was recuperating from his injury, the intimate relationship he had just established with Morman probably cast a shadow on the relationship between the two of them.
"Whoever causes trouble, who will face it! I don't know, Master Mo and Shopkeeper Mo know about this, what will they think? Deng Qiantu said with a sneer.
"You don't open any pot." Li Maozai said on the side.
"It's not my fault. Last night, my cousin and my uncle and father came to my house for the night, so I guess they have already come to your house to discuss marriage with your parents, right? I'm just in charge of informing you. Deng Qiantu said to Wei Shihao.
"What? Coming to my house? Wei Shihao was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, and he immediately turned around and rushed home.
When singing, Li Maozai was also present, and he really couldn't say anything about it without his estimate, so he also rushed out of the workshop.
Looking at the background of the two of them leaving quickly, Deng Qiantu secretly snickered and said with contempt: "Xiao Sample, you want to rob me of a woman, you are still a little tender." There's a good show to watch now! ”
After Wei Shihao and Li Maozi came out of the workshop, Deng Qiantu also personally told Mo Qinglian and Mo Man about the incident, so that he could go to Wei's house with them to watch the excitement.
Actually, although Xiang Sina fell in love with Wei Shihao, she had an appointment with the song before, and the two parties only sang after the marriage contract was dissolved, so Wei Shihao did not accept her hydrangea, she didn't blame him, and after a few months, she had already let go. It's just that a few days ago, after Deng Qiantu and her father forced her to go to the village to force her to marry, she reluctantly followed.
