Chapter Seventy-Two: Looting Treasures
Yan Heyi stared at the group of people who were dreaming of making a fortune, and said with a sneer, "How can those mundane things such as gold and silver get into Tang Nianjing's eyes, okay, don't be verbose, it's just a little gadget, if you like it, I'll find a better one to send you!" ”
Zhong Huachi couldn't recognize the pout, and thought to himself, "What you have in your baggage is either round and huge pearls, or gems of various colors, and if you take out any one, you can exchange it for a lot of silver." Although he was distressed, he also knew that the big things came first, and he didn't say much at the moment, and followed closely behind Yan Heyi, flowing with cold and biting river water, and arrived on the other side unconsciously.
It was as quiet as ever, and the ground was so hard that Yan Heyi dug several times with a dagger before he made a few shallow pits in the ground. He unburdened himself, sprinkled those pearls and gems into them like seeds, and then covered them with a thin layer of soil, and the two cooperated very tacitly, and after a while, all the treasures he brought had been buried in the soil.
Zhong Huachi smiled and said, "I really hope that these treasures will be planted in the soil and will bear fruit in the autumn." Alright, you go to the other side first, and then it's up to me! Yan Heyi nodded, returned the same way, and heard Zhong Huachi pinch his throat and shout violently, "Oops, I found the treasure!" ”
This sound suddenly appeared in the thick night, and those who were waiting by the small bridge and hesitated were suddenly stunned. After a few seconds, they reacted and shouted, "There's a treasure, go grab it!" Immediately forgetting those terrible legends, he scrambled to run in the direction where the sound came from.
Seeing that his task had been completed, Zhong Huachi leisurely flowed across the river and hid in the dark with Yan Heyi. I saw those people pushing and shoving, for fear that I would fall behind others and suffer a loss. The soil was originally thin, and they pulled it a few times, and all the pearls and gems were exposed!
The crowd erupted in cheers, but curses and beatings followed. In the face of interests, any alliance and any oath have become empty talk. In order to get more treasures, they even fought, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.
Yan Heyi patted the dirt on his hands, yawned and said, "Okay, let's go back and sleep well, the fish will be hooked." Zhong Huachi lowered his head and followed behind him and said, "Others use fish and insects to carrion for fishing, but you are better to use pearls and gems, and you are not afraid to knock out the front teeth of that 'fish'!" Yan Heyi stretched out his hand and put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Okay, I still have a piece of fine beeswax there, how about making a piece for you?" ”
They went back to Hei Tian and slept soundly, but Tang Nianjing was not so lucky. Before dawn, someone came to report that someone had gone to the east of the town last night and found a lot of treasures. At first, he just thought it was just a joke, but when someone showed him the pearls and gems collected by the pawnshop, Tang Nianjing realized that those so-called rumors were true.
"You say, this treasure can be found so easily?" Tang Nianjing's doubts in his heart were not completely dispelled, he believed that things that were too easy to get his hands on would be deceitful. The little guy who served him close was named Jinfu, and he was the most smart and clever on weekdays, and he won his heart. Jinfu said, "This thing is indeed a little suspicious, but I think that there are so many treasures hidden that they will not be placed in the same place, let alone hidden by one person." Some of them are shallow and dug up, and it's not impossible for them to do so. Why don't I ask someone to inquire about it? ”
Tang Nianjing suddenly had a plan, he said, "You let people go to the door of the pawnshop to guard to see how many things these people have gotten, and then come back to me after checking clearly." Jinfu promised to do as he said.
Soon there was news that in just one morning's work, there were more than a hundred longan-sized pearls, not to mention anything like red and toberyl. Now that the pawnshop is closed, they can't afford to take it anymore.
Tang Nianjing only felt an itch in his palms, he kept scratching, and said excitedly, "Okay, good!" Jinfu, you immediately let people collect those pearls and gems at a low price, and then say to the pawnshop, I am willing to buy those things they collect to relieve their current siege! ”
So suddenly there were many people in the town who collected pearls and gems, and although the price they gave was slightly lower than that of the pawnshop, in the face of the white flowers, those "treasure diggers" finally tasted the sweetness, and busily sold them what they had "dug up", and discussed going again in the evening, maybe they would get more things.
When the pearls and gems piled up appeared in front of Tang Nianjing, all the doubts in his heart were suddenly dispelled. There are so many such good treasures, except for treasures, he can't think of a second source. Tang Nianjing greedily put these things close to his box one by one, and kept stroking them with his hands, imagining in his mind that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures, and his long-term wish was finally coming true!
Hearing that Tang Nianjing's people were buying those pearls and gems at a low price on the street, Zhonghua Chi's hands were trembling, and he said to He Bi, "Look, look!" This is a hillbilly who has never seen the world, such a big and round pearl, he actually took ten taels of pearls, and what is even more desperate is that those people are willing to sell it to him, they deserve not to make a fortune! ”
He Bi smiled and said, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, what do you care so much." Try it, it's my new hazelnut cake, it's still hot! She forced a piece of dim sum into Zhong Huachi's mouth, "Then again, who is Heyi, how can he take out so many treasures at once." Don't say you're distressed, even I look at it and my eyes are red! ”
She blinked and looked at Zhonghua Chi with big dark and glowing eyes, but Zhong Hua Chi secretly avoided it, and he squeaked and said, "Actually, it's nothing, the ancestor of the suitable, his ancestor was an official, so he left a lot of things for him." Ahem, don't ask so much, in fact, he is quite distressed to take out so many things at once. Hey, how's it going out there now? ”
He Bi said, "Don't mention it, the streets are already chaotic." Those who dig up the treasure feel that they have suffered a loss, digging less than others, and plan to go again. Those who didn't dig up the treasure also want a piece of the pie. Don't say it, even the people who sell rope and candles have made a fortune with this trouble! ”
She pointed to the half-lit candle on the table and said, "Let's just say this white wax, which was originally three cents a piece, but now it has risen to ten cents a piece." Under this circumstance, in a few days, I'm afraid it will cost 20 wen a piece! ”
