Outside the door is a 50-meter-square stone chamber, about 10 meters high, with a square wooden platform with a fence in the center of the chamber, about 5 meters on each side, and there is no cap above the stone chamber, but a shaft slightly larger than the platform that leads to the heights. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The four corners of the platform are all tied with extremely thick hemp ropes, the hemp rope goes up into the shaft, and the other end hangs down from the shaft and is fixed to the winch located at the four corners of the stone chamber.

I jumped onto the platform and shot an arrow into the shaft, and although the arrow did not reach the end, I could see by the light of the fire that the hemp rope had gone up to a high place that was not visible.

"The hemp rope should lead to a pulley on the ground, and a winch can be turned to lift the platform." I excitedly shouted, "Let's find the exit!" ”

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and I was so excited that I had finally escaped from the bottom of the lake, clenched my fists and shouted "yes" hysterically in my heart.

"No one is allowed to move, do as I say, or I will press the stone gate switch, and no one will want to get the treasure." Someone shouted coldly, suppressing the laughter of the crowd.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a man in his 40s standing inside the door, his right hand pressed on the switch on the left.

"Ma Hui, aren't you faint from hunger?" Ma Jinsu shouted, "Still don't let go? ”

Ma Hui is Ma Jinsu's confidant, and he usually appreciates him, so he has the opportunity to follow all the way here, but he didn't expect to suddenly attack at a critical moment.

"Big brother, don't panic, he is his own person, and he will help us seize the treasure and escape." Zixia Mi said.

"I didn't expect you to rebel against their people." I replied with surprise and delight.

"This stinky man, I'll do it in one night." Zixia said disdainfully.

"Yes, I understand." I smiled ambiguously at Zixia.

"If you put down the stone gates, won't you starve to death in them?" Ma Jinsu said, "Are you really crazy? ”

"It's a big deal, I'll starve to death, and you'll die poor." Ma Hui sneered.

"There's something to say." Ma Zongliang said.

"Here's a few people, move the boxes to the lifting platform." Ma Hui said.

Ma Zongliang's face was pale, and he nodded very reluctantly, and more than 10 people immediately walked out of the crowd and entered the hall behind him to start moving boxes.

After a while, there were more than 20 boxes on the lifting platform, and I was afraid that the overweight would crush the wooden lifting platform, so I glanced at Ma Hui.

Ma Hui understood, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the person who was moving the box.

"Immediately send the sharp gang leader, as well as the two young grandmothers Zixia and Qingxia to the ground, there must be no mistake." Ma Hui said as he pressed his right hand, which frightened everyone into an exclamation.

Ma Zongliang waved his hand helplessly, and more than 20 people scattered to the edge of the 4 winches to stand by.

Sister Zixia and Qingxia and I jumped on the lifting platform, found a foothold between the gaps in the box, and stood firmly.

The lifting platform began to rise slowly, and I smiled and waved goodbye to Ma Zongliang, so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Due to the large amount of gold contained in the chest, the weight was extremely heavy, and the speed of the lifting platform was very slow, although it was only more than 200 meters high, it took 3 minutes to reach the ground.

When the platform stopped, I lit a torch and looked around, and found that we were in a dark, damp, airtight cave, with a musty smell in the air.

I saw a lot of butter cups nailed to the wall of the cave, so I quickly stepped forward and lit them one by one, and the cave suddenly brightened.

As far as I could see, the cave was circular, about 200 meters in diameter and 50 meters high, and the ground and walls were covered with moss.

"Where's the hole? How do we get out? Qingxia frowned.

"There will definitely be an exit, wait and look for it slowly, let's move the box first." I said as I busied myself unloading the box from the lifting platform.

Seeing this, Zixia and Qingxia came up to help together, and after a while, they finished moving all the boxes.

"Descend and continue to carry the box up there." Zixia lowered her head and shouted loudly into the shaft.

The lifting platform "rumbles" down from the shaft, and it takes a moment to reach the end, much faster than when it is raised.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, the second batch of treasure arrived, and after we quickly unloaded the goods, we immediately told the people below to lower the lifting platform and continue to transport the boxes up, and so on.

From 2 p.m. to the early hours of the next morning, 1,500 boxes arrived in batches almost every 10 minutes, and I couldn't help but be ecstatic to see that about half of the treasure had arrived.

"Almost, we can't take the treasure alone, and if we take too much, my brothers over there won't have enough points." I smiled contentedly at Zixia.

"Well, enough is enough." Zixia nodded.

"I'll go down and do something." I said to Zixia, and then jumped up and down the platform.

The people of the White Crane Villa looked at me suspiciously, and they didn't understand why I hadn't run away with my treasure.

"Helper, why are you back?" Ma Zongliang asked in surprise.

"I'm greedy, and I want more than just the boxes on it." I laughed.

"You want Ma Hui? The old man can let him go, and he will not stop him. Ma Zongliang said.

"Of course Ma Hui wants to go with me, there are still a few conditions in this seat, you listen well." I said slowly, "First of all, I want you to promise to marry Ling Ai and Ling Niece to me. ”

"Never!" Ma Jinxuan shouted, "This girl would rather die than obey." ”

Ma Jinyun's face was flushed, and she silently lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

"I'm afraid this needs to be discussed again, let's talk about the other conditions first?" Ma Zongliang asked with a straight face.

"Secondly, give me the loot you picked up, this seat has made a contribution, and naturally has the right to ask for it." I continued.

"What are these things outside of the body? Take it. Ma Zongliang readily agreed, and then took out a bunch of things from his arms and handed them to me, and I didn't have time to look at them carefully before I put them into a treasure chest.

"In the end, Ling Lang was angry with this seat everywhere, which made this seat very unhappy, and asked his seniors to punish him severely." I glanced at Ma Jinke and said with a smile.

"Well, if you wish, cut off his right hand, will the helper be satisfied?" Ma Zongliang asked as he pulled out the long sword on Ma Jinke's waist and slashed at his right hand.

"Don't don't, impulse is the devil." I hurriedly stopped, "I just want my seniors to scold him, why do you need to make such a big move?" ”

"Brute, still don't admit your mistakes to the gang leader?" Ma Zongliang shouted.

Ma Jinke knelt down in front of me with a "plop", kowtowed his head 3 times, and said sincerely: "There is a lot of offense below, I hope to help the master Haihan." ”

"Get up." I nodded and said, "I see that you have a good attitude, I forgive you, and your old accounts will be written off from now on." ”

"Thank you." Ma Jin hugged his fists, his eyes were full of gratitude-kneeling to apologize was as light as a feather compared to cutting off his right hand, and he naturally understood how much grace it was for me to let him go.

"Did Ling Ailing's niece and the seniors of this seat agree? Can I give an explanation? I asked.

"The enmity between Honzhuang and the gang leader is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to succeed in the marriage." Ma Zongliang shook his head and groaned.

I took out an hourglass from the treasure chest, which I had seen at the grocery store before, and I bought one for fun.

"Before the hourglass is finished, no matter how many boxes you take out, all of them will belong to your village, how about it?" I put the hourglass on the ground, looked up and said to Ma Zongliang: "This seat only asks for Ling Ai and Ling niece, and hopes that the predecessors will be fulfilled." ”

Ma Zongliang looked around, everyone nodded, and even Ma Jinxuan no longer objected, but his face was very ugly.

Everyone understands that many boxes can be moved in 3 minutes, and whether the White Crane Villa can rise again is all counting on these belongings.

"Move!" Ma Zongliang resolutely ordered.

All the people of the White Crane Villa, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, worked together to carry the boxes from the hall to the stone chamber as quickly as possible.

Three minutes came in a blink of an eye, and after the hourglass was over, I waited another half minute before stopping.

I roughly counted about 100 chests worth at least 10 taels of gold.

"Thank you." Ma Zongliang saluted me and said, "The previous grievances have been revealed, and we will be a family from now on." ”

"Yes, father-in-law." I slammed my fist to the ground and respectfully hugged my fists.

Ma Zongliang nodded, which was regarded as accepting my salute.

I gave Ma Zongxian a deep swipe and said loudly: "Say hello to my father-in-law." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law is exempt." Ma Zongxian stretched out his hand to help me and said, his words were full of bitterness.

Ma Jinxuan sat on a box angrily, her brows furrowed, and her face was full of grievances.

Ma Jinyun hid behind people shyly, not daring to confront me.

I secretly glanced at Ma Hui, and he immediately understood, so he suddenly pressed the switch, and a stone gate of tens of thousands of catties fell to the ground, blocking the door tightly.

The moment the stone gate closed, Ma Hui rushed into the stone chamber through the crack with lightning speed.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, and after coming back to their senses, they all scolded Ma Hui, and a few impatient people even wanted to do something to him.

"Don't get me wrong, it's the stone gate I call Ma Huiguan." I laughed, "That way, my brethren won't know we've taken so many chests when they find the treasure." ”

"Well, even the people in Honjo don't know how many boxes there are in total, how do they know?" Ma Zongliang nodded, "Even if they suspect that there is a lack of treasure, there is no way to verify it." ”

"First of all, I apologize to you and wait here for a while, and I will give you news after we retreat." I hugged my fists and quickly turned and jumped onto the platform.

Ma Hui followed me to the lifting platform and stood beside me, and no one on the other side stopped me.

"It's okay to hide here for a few days, but don't forget to bring us something to eat." Ma Zongliang instructed.

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, I can't starve you, my ladies are still here." I clasped my fists and smiled, "My son-in-law will retire first." ”

"Please help the master, please take care of my Qingxia more often." Ma Jinke suddenly walked out of the crowd and said to me.

This kid has a deep love for Qingxia, and it's strange to say, she is not stunning at all, what does he like about her? I thought to myself.

After thinking about it, I understood the truth: how can the insight and temperament of modern women be comparable to those of ancient ignorant women? The difference in physiognomy can be made up entirely by these.

"Brother don't worry, I will take good care of my brother and sister." I said with a smile.
