Chapter Forty-Eight: Re-enter the Secret Room
The bag was placed on the head of the bed on the opposite side, not far away, and Cheng Zhong could clearly see that the bag was empty and did not contain anything.
The owner of the cowhide bag rested his head on the quilt, opened his mouth wide, snored loudly, and slept very soundly.
Cheng Zhong got out of bed, went to the front of the shop diagonally opposite, and pushed the arm of the black-faced man.
"What do you want to do, you doll?"
The black-faced man woke up in surprise and asked with a look of sleepy eyes.
He spoke an authentic Lanzhou dialect.
"Ho ho, uncle, I have a fancy for your bag, can you sell it to me?"
Cheng Zhong pointed to the cowhide bag and said apologetically.
"Buying a bag, telling a joke! This is a place to sleep, not a place to sell. ”
The man said puzzledly.
"Uncle, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!
I really want this bag, so please make a price. ”
Cheng Zhong looked at Dahan and said.
He is sincere, unhurried, neither humble nor arrogant.
"This ...... It's a bag for decoration tools, what's the use of your doll's house?"
"I just bought some iron tools to repair the car, but I really don't have anything to load, and I can't take back ordinary bags for fear of breaking on the road." ”
"Yes, my bag is still new, and I've only been using it for less than a month. ”
"Good uncle, you should be a repairman in the factory, why don't you just apply for another one when you go back to the factory?"
You're helping me solve the problem, please make a price!"
"Ah, you doll looks at Renga, and there is some water in her eyes.
Okay, okay, even if I hand over a "team", you give ten yuan and take it. ”
"Okay, deal!"
Cheng Zhong picked up the bag casually, and then took out a "Great Unity" card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
To be honest, ten yuan for a bag is a bit expensive, the man just wanted to test it, but he didn't expect Cheng Zhong to buy it directly without a counteroffer.
The other guests looked at each other, thinking that Cheng Zhong was young and didn't understand the market, so the big man was blinded.
But no one wants to break it.
Xue Liancheng also felt deeply sleepy, and didn't know why Cheng Zhong had to buy such a sturdy bag.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that she fully understood.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Cheng Zhong pulled Xue Liancheng to get up.
The two left the carriage shop lightly and trotted to the vicinity of Xu Shoujun's courtyard.
They crouched down next to a telephone pole and watched quietly for more than ten minutes.
At midnight, everything was silent, and there was not even a ghost around.
Cheng Zhong was in front and Xue Lian was behind, and like two wild cats, he quickly dodged into the courtyard and entered the building through the door hole opened by the bazooka.
Because he was afraid that the flashlight would be too bright and cause unnecessary trouble, Cheng Zhong asked Xue Liancheng to take out the Night Pearl.
Cheng Zhong was already familiar with the road, and soon arrived at Xu Shoujun's bedroom.
The two double beds were gone, and all the furniture that could be moved in the room was emptied.
When I got to the wall, I saw that the wall was neat, and the entrance to the secret room was not found at all.
Cheng Zhong passed through the mechanism, opened the secret passage, and pulled Xue Liancheng into it.
Unexpectedly, after walking two or three meters away, I came across a small secret room alone.
Cheng Zhong turned on the flashlight.
The small secret room is only two meters square, and it looks crowded when two people stand, and all corners can be seen at a glance.
A small wooden cabinet stands against the wall.
Cheng Zhong squatted down and opened the wooden door on the cabinet with his hands.
There is a partition inside the small cabinet, which divides the space into two layers.
At the top is a large bundle of yuan.
On the lower level was a large bundle of foreign money, all in denominations of 100, which should have been dollars.
Cheng Zhong was stunned for a moment at the cabinet.
He used his brain and tried his best to recall the route Xu Shoujun took when he brought him in.
"It must have been too dark at the time, and Xu Shoujun didn't turn on the lights, so I didn't notice this small secret room.
The secret passage to the largest chamber must be on the wall of this small chamber. ”
Cheng Zhong thought to himself.
He stood up and, following his vague memory, began to look everywhere for the mechanism.
Ten minutes later, he finally opened another secret passage.
Unexpectedly, after walking forward for more than ten meters, a large secret room appeared.
The secret room is five meters square, with a large wooden cabinet in the corner.
When I opened the wooden cabinet, I saw that the first layer was still a few large bundles of RMB, the second layer was several large bundles of US dollars, and the third layer was dozens of yellow gold bars.
That night, when Cheng Zhong followed Xu Shoujun into the secret passage, because the lights were not turned on all the way, Cheng Zhong didn't notice that there were two secret rooms along the way.
Cheng Zhong stood there at this time, sighing in his heart.
To be honest, he was shocked by Xu Shoujun's cunning and resourcefulness again, and began to admire this newly recognized godfather from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Shoujun's grasp of people's hearts is really in place.
He arranged it this way, even if others were lucky enough to find the secret passage, they could only take a small part of his money.
For the average person, finding the first secret room is already very satisfying, and they will not think about it again.
If you encounter someone with a complicated mind and a difficult mind, you will only be able to find a second secret room at most.
When they saw that there was such a huge amount of money in the second secret room, everyone would think that this was Xu Shoujun's entire net worth.
It is estimated that no one would have thought that these are just the tip of the iceberg, and more treasures are still hidden in the depths.
"Unless...... He's a god!" Cheng Zhong thought to himself.
Seeing two secret rooms in a row, it seems that the protagonist of a fairy tale is lucky to open the door to treasure.
Xue Liancheng was excited and nervous, her little heart was beating faster, and she was already sweating profusely.
She never even dreamed that the magical boy Cheng Zhong in her mind would take her to such a secret place.
Here, money and gold bars are piled up like ordinary bricks and stones.
Cheng Zhong was also a little excited, but compared to Xue Liancheng, it was as calm as water and not alarmed.
He gently stroked Xue Liancheng's wet palm and whispered:
"Little brother, don't get excited, you haven't reached the right place yet.
In our Han land, there is a saying called 'the lion rolls the hydrangea, and the good show is behind'!"
Cheng Zhong spent about ten minutes studying the walls and footings of the walls, and opened the secret passage again.
This time, he finally entered Xu Shoujun's real secret room.
Cheng Zhong didn't turn on the lights, but only used a flashlight to sweep the treasures all over the room and show it to Xue Liancheng.
At this moment, Xue Liancheng's breathing became heavy.
Her little heart pounded hard against her chest, as if it was about to burst out of the wall.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans flowed down the cheeks and neck like streams in the hair.
She seemed to be in collapse and leaned weakly on Cheng Zhong's body.
If it weren't for Cheng Zhong holding her from her waist, she would have collapsed on the ground a long time ago.
Cheng Zhong remained silent and waited patiently for her to calm down.
He continued to hug her with one hand, gathered his thoughts, and said in a low but clear voice:
"Let me tell you, Xue Liancheng, these are all left to me by Xu Shoujun.
I recognize him as my grandfather, and I am willing to take care of his funeral, and I am his heir, and I am entitled to his inheritance.
If I were a greedy man, all the precious money in the house would be mine.
For the past two days, I've been really thinking about it.
Money is indeed a good thing, no one can do without it, and it is also a sign of status.
However, if there is too much money, it may turn into a disaster or even put your own life on the line.
Such stories abound in history.
Of course, I don't want to pretend to be noble.
I also want to change the lives of my grandparents and the whole extended family, so that the whole family can have a good life.
Besides, we still have a lot of big things to do in the future, and it will always be much more convenient to have money.
So, I decided to take a small amount of money with me.
After all, Xu Shoujun really wants to leave these inheritances to me, and it is reasonable for me to take his money, so I can feel at ease.
But we can't take too much.
I think our two schoolbags only contain RMB, until they are full.
The cowhide bag I just bought only contained gold bars, and it was estimated that I couldn't hold them when it was full, but twenty or thirty were enough.
Let's just take a look at this room baby, and I'm going to find a way to hand it over to the state next.
For the sake of memory, you can pick one thing from it, and I will pick only one thing.
Now you start picking!"
Before the words fell, only a "click" was heard, and Cheng Zhong turned on the electric light in the secret room.
Suddenly, the golden light shines, the pearl shines, and the two kinds of strong and soft reflections are intertwined to form a mesmerizing dream world.
Two and a half children, sitting on the floor, stared at the room full of babes, unable to say a word for a long time.
Just now, after listening to Cheng Zhong's words, Xue Liancheng nodded again and again.
Her understanding of this genius boy has deepened a step, and her admiration has also deepened a little.
She finally stood up and began to pick out the baby she liked.
To tell the truth, the treasures here, Cheng Zhong and Xue Lian Cheng, no one has ever seen them before, and of course, I really don't know which of these things is more valuable.
So, when it comes to selection, neither of them actually has any criteria in their hearts, but it can only be determined by personal preferences.
Maybe I chose for a long time, but in the end I chose the most worthless Dongli mile here.
Xue Liancheng picked up this and looked at it, and then picked it up and touched it, and the more she picked, the more dazzling she became.
Cheng Zhong didn't urge, with a smiling expression, he sat quietly and waited.
"Perhaps, this is the happiest moment of life.
I can't rush her, just to make this happy time longer!"
Cheng Zhong's heart often comes up with similar strange thoughts.
Finally, Xue Liancheng was selected.
What she was holding in her hand was a golden imported watch, the men's kind.
When Xue Liancheng made a choice, in fact, Cheng Zhong also chose it in his heart.
Watching Xue Lian finish picking, Cheng Zhong walked over quickly and picked up a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg.
Then, the two of them returned to the second secret room and began to load their bags with money.
The maximum value of RMB is 10 yuan, and a schoolbag can't hold much money, at most 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.
At Xue Liancheng's suggestion, Cheng Zhong filled another bag full of dollars.
The dollar is a denomination of one hundred, and a school bag contains about thirty or four hundred thousand.
According to the original plan, the leather bag was used to hold gold bars, and after about thirty of them, the leather bag was already heavy.
In the end, Cheng Zhong carefully closed every secret passage opening, and the two quietly left the Xu family.
By the time I got back to the carriage shop, it was about five o'clock in the morning.
Guests who get up early to get on the bus have already gotten up.
They took out the horses, tied them with straps, tied them to the saddles, and led them out of the city.
At dawn, the two of them had left the mine ten miles away.
Cheng Zhong walked forward as he muttered a mantra in his mouth.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of giant wings breaking through the air overhead, followed by a cold gust of wind.
A giant bird landed in front of the two of them, combing its slightly messy feathers with its beak.
Cheng Zhong asked Xue Liancheng to take the Dapeng Bird, took three bags of money first, and handed it to Xue Lihong to collect after going back.
He himself rode his horse down the road and returned leisurely......
At ten o'clock in the morning, Cheng Zhong arrived at the ancient temple beach.
As soon as he saw that "Shuangxue" was not there, he tied his horse and climbed directly to the top of the mountain.
"Shuangxue" is really on the small platform where the snow is red and usually basks in the sun, and speaks "woo woo wow wow".
As soon as he saw Cheng Zhong coming, Xue Lihong raised his head and howled.
After a while, the little wolf cub "swished" onto the platform.
The wolf cub has grown a lot taller, with its head raised and stilted, its back like a bent bow, and the body characteristics of the thin-waisted wolf clan have begun to appear.
It surrounds the bell, shaking its head and tail, jumping up and down, turning around the enclosure to spread joy and dedication.
For Xue Liancheng, he ignored it, as if he didn't see it.
Xue Liancheng wanted to touch it several times, but it coldly avoided it.
Xue Lihong looked at Cheng Zhong and said "wolf language" with "hmm":
"It is not my luck to meet a virtuous brother in this life, but the luck of the thin waist family.
Although my son is young, he was saved by his virtuous brother, and he should follow him all his life.
Recently, I have taught him the art of hunting, and now he has the ability to wrap his belly.
Today, it will be handed over to the virtuous brother to take care of the Buddha, so that he can serve him in the morning and evening, and become familiar with the customs of the human race.
During the winter vacation, the virtuous brother will bring him into the 'Wolf Domain' and cultivate great power together, so as to emulate the great cause of the 'Erlang' True Monarch and the 'Roaring Heaven' ancestors. ”
With the help of Xue Liancheng's translation, Cheng Zhong accurately understood Xue Lihong's intentions.
His eyes looked at the cub, and the cub nodded at him in confusion.
Cheng Zhong said goodbye to Xue Lihong, led Xue Liancheng and the cubs, left Tiemu Mountain, and went straight home.
