Chapter 417: Doomed Fate

talked about this matter that afternoon, and Zhang Guoqing and his wife didn't take it seriously. The continuous rain made the house full of a change of clothes, which was a headache for the couple.

I finally looked forward to a sunny day. As soon as they hung up their clothes in the yard, Zhang Lao Er ran over and asked them to go back to the village to catch fish. I heard that Dad Zhang asked people to bring a letter and asked their three brothers to go back quickly.

It was rare to have good weather, and he was bored at home, so Zhang Guoqing immediately took his daughter-in-law and son back to the village after receiving the letter.

Families in Zhangjia Village gathered around the river, men threw them in the river, women picked them up on the shore, and children counted there. Zhang Guoqing's family heard laughter from afar.

Father Zhang saw them at the entrance of the village and said in a low voice: "The weather is hot, and the old captain is afraid that the fish in the canteen will not be able to be saved, so let each family fish for themselves." You take more and bring it back. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, handed the child to his father, and pulled Zhou Jiao to squeeze to Zhang's mother's side.

After watching for a while, he took off his clothes and shoes, grabbed the bamboo basket beside Zhang's mother and jumped into the river.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother was so anxious that she whispered to Zhou Jiao: "You see that Xiao Wu took the wrong basket, this basket is very small, and it is full of small fish." ”

"Mother, it's okay. We want the big fish and the small ones to pour out. Give him a little play, he can't eat that much. Zhou Jiao saw that she was so anxious that the tip of her nose was sweating, so she could only persuade her.

Soon, Zhou Jiao discovered Zhang Guoqing's intentions, and saw that he had caught a lot of stone snails and river shrimp, and her heart warmed. This guy is thinking about himself.

Someone next to him saw it and smiled to help. After a while, the market was piled up. Zhang Guoqing saw that his two brothers were also coming, so he quickly caught a few fish and came up, as long as it was enough to eat, he was not embarrassed to grab fish with everyone.

The villagers were very welcoming, and some even threw big fish into the bamboo baskets.

Zhang Guoqing thanked everyone, and was reluctant to leave when he saw Ping'an. Thinking that there should be no problem with Zhang's father hugging him, he instructed the child a few words before pulling Zhou Jiao home.

When I went back to my yard, I saw that it was very clean, and I couldn't get rid of my parents' care. The couple looked at the backyard again before starting to set off for the Daqingshan Taoist Temple.

During this period of continuous rain, Zhang Guoqing was worried that the road was unsafe, so he picked up Zhou Jiao and ran all the way to the destination.

This place is too familiar to Zhang Guoqing. If it weren't for the picture, he would never have thought that there was a natural cave here. In the early years, wolves often howled, and this is the place of ghosts.

He looked around suspiciously, and the wolves came down the mountain to collapse in the Taoist temple. Wang Million died in 52 years, how can you think about the time, it can't be Mrs. Wang's prank, right?

"What's wrong? Didn't you say it's safe here? Is there still a wolf? ”

"The wolf didn't. Jiaojiao, you wait for me in the tree. I'm going to explore the way first. ”

Zhou Jiao looked at him suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" Let's go back, who is going to give whom. I don't look down on an upstart yet. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled dumbly. This is so confident. He told Zhou Jiao the doubts in his heart, was given a blank look by her, and happily followed her to the cave.

"See? The moss on it is at least aged, and if there is something in it, it should be a little devil who comes in and hides it. Later, didn't the Taoist temple collapse, and even the wolves came? Mrs. Wang must be in a hurry, what should I do if I can't get in? Then draw it and leave it to future generations. ”

Zhang Guoqing didn't care to answer her, and groped around with his hands. Finally found a raised stone, he pulled Zhou Jiao behind him and pressed it gently.

The cave showed a big mouth, and he was not at ease, worried that he would be trapped inside, so he was about to lift a boulder to cover the entrance of the cave, but he didn't think that Zhou Jiao would use the space to get it quickly.

All of a sudden, the initiative was in Zhou Jiao's hands, and I saw that she was very skillful in using cloth strips and candles to test the air, then stood up and took out a big round stone and kept pushing forward.

Zhang Guoqing understood. It is estimated that the father and daughter tried it last time in the old mansion, no wonder they are now veterans.

The husband and wife entered the innermost part without any danger. Seeing this, Zhou Jiao pursed her lips, it was a dirt cannon compared to the secret room of her grandmother's old mansion.

A small empty cave with six wooden boxes piled up inside, the wood of which had rotted due to the lack of protection and fell apart with a slight pull. Four of the six boxes contained books, rice, white flour, medicinal herbs, and fur coats, all of which had been weathered.

There were two chests left, one of which was full of long and short wooden compartments and bullets. This one is carefully stored with oiled paper, and it is still brand new. In addition to gold and silver dollars, the last chest also had a rosewood chest.

The air inside is very turbid and should not be waited long. Zhou Jiao put away two boxes of things, took out a broom, followed her father's example, and cleared the traces while exiting.

Out of the cave, the couple returned to their original state outside and cleaned up the traces. They didn't break the mechanism either. As for whether anyone will enter the cave in the future, then they don't care.

Zhang Guoqing picked up Zhou Jiao on his back, went around in a circle, and began to pick wild eggs, dig wild vegetables, and pick mushrooms. If it weren't for the heavy rain on the mountain, I would be worried about unsafety. For Zhou Jiao, these foods are much better than inedible gold and silver, and they make her feel happier and happier.

The couple didn't delay much, and when they saw that they were about the same, they carried the two pheasants that had died unjustly down the mountain to pick up their son.

After staying in the village until three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly returned to the county seat with his daughter-in-law and son under the pretext that his clothes were drying in the yard, carrying a large bag and a small bag.

In the dead of night, the couple went to the study and began to release two boxes.

It's men who love to play with weapons. Zhang Guoqing couldn't put it down for the wooden warehouse in the box. He estimated that these foreign goods were purchased by Wang million at a huge cost. Otherwise, it would not be so comprehensive.

"Jiaojiao, when you see Dad, show him. He must have loved it. ”

Zhou Jiao stuck out her tongue and said weakly: "Don't let him know, otherwise you will be scolded." We all promised him not to go up the mountain, and he would definitely scold you. ”

Zhang Guoqing shook his head absently, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt to scold." ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him with disdain, "Help me open this small box first." I'll look for clues to see if they have any secrets. ”

Zhang Guoqing easily used a dagger to pry open, and he didn't use a lock to pry, it was too simple.

Zhou Jiao opened the box and exclaimed in a low voice, "Brother, look ......."

Zhang Guoqing turned his head to look at Zhou Jiao. Following her line of sight, she found a pile of women's jewelry in the box, as well as a four-square oiled paper bag.

Zhou Jiao stretched out her hand and took out a necklace, "This one is very similar to the one in my space." Look at the beads, they're half as small as I was. ”

"No, this one is like a fake. There is no sense of age, unlike antiques. Don't mess around, do some kind of blood to confess the Lord. ”

Zhou Jiao looked at him hesitantly, "Really don't you try?" How I touched this bead, it felt very kind. ”

Zhang Guoqing touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it. If you like it, put it away. When the situation is good, I will find the same material and strip as it was originally for you. You then look at what else you like. Open it to see what's inside this oiled paper bag, maybe you can solve the mystery. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao didn't say anything more, and opened the oiled paper package. Inside, there are several leases that have been liquidated, two bank certificates and vouchers. Seeing that the banks on it were all foreign, she didn't even want to look at the amount. She can only go abroad in the year of the monkey?

Out of sight and out of mind, Zhou Jiao hurriedly received the space. Suddenly, her eyes widened, "I... Oh my god..."

Zhang Guoqing was taken aback.

Soon Zhou Jiao released the box again and quickly found the necklace. I found that the beads were really gone! She let out a long sigh and looked at Zhang Guoqing sadly.

Zhou Guoqing took it and looked at it, "The beads are gone when they go in?" Do you want to see if there is any abnormality in your body first? Does it hurt to have a headache? Is there anything not ......."

Zhou Jiao hurriedly interrupted his chatter: "There is one more empty room in the space." Everything works fine. I should have let you confess the Lord with blood just now, I don't know if you would have one. You see, that's a mistake! I feel so sorry for me. ”

Zhang Guoqing couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw her bitter face. It's really a lack of people's hearts, and it scares itself.

With his laughter, Zhou Jiao quickly reacted, gave him a blank look, and pulled him happily to budget how many more things he could pack. And the main reason for the increase in space, what is the relationship between Mrs. Wang and the Zhang family in her previous life? But they were forgotten by the two.
