Chapter 15: Hidden Treasure
Lao Yang was very tired when he said this, but I was very fascinated by it, and I couldn't imagine that there was such a secret past hidden in the bandit cave. www.biquge.info I was about to ask Lao Yang to continue talking, what is the origin of the old man he met in the cave, and what is the relationship between him and that Heavenly Master, is that bandit cave really the burial place of the **** "Treasure of Recovery"?
When I was in a hurry, Yang Xue had already returned from outside with her mother carrying a few bags, and there was a middle-aged couple who came with them. I fixed my eyes, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, I didn't think that the person I and Lao Yang were most afraid of seeing was still coming, only to see the parents of Dajun walking to Lao Yang's bedside with a frown, first politely greeting a few words, and then directly asked about Dajun, saying that although his son has been missing for so many years, but if he doesn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter, even if they die, they can't close their eyes.
I was stunned and didn't dare to interject, the death of the army is inextricably linked to us, and even ...... If Lao Yang and I tell the truth to Dajun's parents, and don't say whether we want to bear criminal responsibility, even these old couples will hate us to the core.
Lao Yang seemed to have the same idea as me, he secretly gave me a look, and then spoke. He told Dajun's parents about our experiences of being trapped in the cave, and insisted that when the cave collapsed, Dajun was buried alive under the boulders, and that he himself was swept into a shaft by the flood and trapped in a dome cave for more than ten years, relying on the fish and rats in the cave to feed on the fish and rats in the cave, and only recently managed to escape.
As for the means by which Lao Yang escaped from the dome cave, he did not elaborate, but only vaguely covered up the past. After the old couple heard the news of the death of the army, they couldn't help but feel sad and hugged each other and cried, but the scene was very miserable.
After they cried for a while, they barely recovered, supported each other, and said goodbye and left.
The old couple just walked on the front foot, and I followed the back foot out, I told Lao Yang, I have to go home first, see my parents, and come to visit him the next morning, Lao Yang didn't say anything, just nodded at me, I asked him to rest early, take care of his body, and put other things on the go.
When I got home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, I ate two bites of a bowl of noodles that my mother had cooked for me, and after a while of greeting the two of them, I went upstairs to my room and lay down on the bed to think.
The first strange thing is that I still can't eat anything, not even water, it's not that I don't have a craving for food and water, I have a strong appetite like normal people, but I don't know why, when I put food in my mouth and chew it, it is difficult to swallow, and my throat instinctively repels food. This kind of physical change made me uneasy, I thought it would be better to clarify the matter of Lao Yang first, looking at his appearance, it seems that there are more important things to tell me, if it weren't for Yang Xue and their sudden return, he would definitely continue to talk.
The next morning, I woke up and tried to eat two bites of the breakfast my parents had prepared for me, but I still couldn't swallow. I reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to catch the bus and go to the hospital to see Lao Yang.
When I walked into the ward, Yang Xue and her mother were gone, and when Lao Yang was awake, he saw me come in and said:
"I asked Yang Xue to send her to the station, my dad is still hospitalized in Shenzhen, and she needs to take care of it, besides, there are some things that I don't want her to hear."
I nodded and asked Lao Yang if he had breakfast, or if I would buy him a bowl of rice noodles or something. Lao Yang waved his hand and told me that he had just woken up and did not feel hungry, and asked me to sit down and listen to him finish what he said yesterday. He cleared his throat and continued:
"You and Yang Xue's experience in Chongqing, she already told me last night, don't blame her, the situation is special, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to take you out. Don't intervene, I have a position with Yang Xue on this matter, and I can't tell you yet, you listen to me, I promise you, after Yang Xue and I figure out a few questions, I will tell you what is going on as soon as possible, before that, no matter how eager you are to know the truth, you must be patient for the time being. It's still the same sentence, everything is for your sake, please believe me and Yang Xue.
"Let's continue with the topic from yesterday, you probably have already guessed, yes, the old man who has lived with me in the Dome Cave for ten years is indeed Zhang Tianshi's subordinate. But they didn't enter through the shaft of the vaulted cavern, but through another entrance. After they first entered, for the sake of safety, Zhang Tianshi immediately ordered his subordinates to blow up the entrance to the cave with explosives, and the road to the future was completely blocked. Zhang Tianshi told them that after the chests full of gold and silver were arranged, they could go out through the other exit, and told everyone that he had secretly checked the structure of this cave several times, and not only was the geographical location very hidden, but also, at the other exit, he had set up something that ordinary people would never dare to approach rashly.
"Those little brothers all know that Zhang Tianshi is a bit of a sideshow, and they know each other, plus Zhang Tianshi is Wu Yunfei's right-hand man, through the actions of the past few years, this person is like a god, and he has a bit of a foundation, but the way of doing things is a little strange.
When they passed through the dome cave, Zhang Tianshi told everyone that the exit he was talking about was here, and when they went deep into the cave to collect these treasures, they could go out of this place through the rope. Before continuing to go deeper, Zhang Tianshi picked the only trusted cronie among the crowd, and asked him to stay in the dome cave to wait for news, and by the way, he was sentry, but in fact, there was a huge conspiracy hidden, Zhang Tianshi had already planned one thing with the young man who left the sentry, because to climb out of the shaft, it was impossible to do it with the strength of one person alone.
"Speaking of which, you may be a little confused, let me tell you directly, in fact, that Celestial Master Zhang has changed greatly since he followed Wu Yunfei for all these years, and he has completely become a sinister and cunning person. His idea is actually not complicated, that is, he wants to swallow that batch of treasures alone, when they went in, they also brought some wine and food, Zhang Tianshi had already placed poison to take people's lives in the food, he planned to use the power of everyone to hide the treasure, he took out the highly poisonous wine and food, and killed everyone, but he knew that to get out of the shaft, he must leave a living mouth, otherwise he would not be able to escape from the dome cave by his own strength, he chose a young man from among the crowd before he set off, The young man was very obedient to Zhang Tianshi, almost obedient, and Zhang Tianshi told the young man the truth of the matter, saying that although Wu Da wanted to leave a way back for himself, but as soon as the People's Liberation Army attacked, Wu Yunfei and the other brothers in the village might not escape death, in other words, as long as the group of people who buried the treasure together were killed, then the young man and he could divide the wealth equally, and after a few years the situation calmed down, they could sit on an inexhaustible wealth for a lifetime. Ask young people to work well with him.
That Heavenly Master actually didn't trust the young man as much as the latter imagined, and this was the conclusion that the young man came to after a few years of repeated thinking. He later realized that Zhang Tianshi's rhetoric at the beginning was just to take advantage of him, and when the matter was completed, I was afraid that he would also be killed, because after Zhang Tianshi led everyone in, he let this young man stay in the dome cave, but did not leave him any instruments and torches, obviously not so trusting him as he said.
However, all these conjectures could no longer be confirmed, because Zhang Tianshi and his party never came out alive from the depths of the cave. The young man who stayed behind to keep watch, trapped there, has been looking forward to it, and it will be decades in a flash......"
When I heard this, I finally guessed the general idea of the matter, and asked Lao Yang:
"The young man under Zhang Tianshi you are talking about is ......"
Lao Yang immediately nodded and said:
"It's really the old man I met after I was trapped in the cave...... However, I have to tell you something more important, I am afraid that you will not believe it, but it is true, and I cannot believe that he has such an important connection with you if the old man had not told me about it himself. ”
I was puzzled and amazed, "What are you talking about?" How did you get me involved with that old man, and what would I have to do with him? ”
Lao Yang didn't care about my surprise, and said to me seriously:
"That old man, he ...... It's your grandfather. (To be continued.) )
