Chapter 628: Satisfied
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, it is October 10 of the following year.
"It's time for him to show up today, right?" The Blue Devil had been looking forward to seeing his voice early in the morning. But after breakfast, Bai Lang did not appear, and after a long morning, Bai Lang was still nowhere to be seen.
"What the hell is going on?"
After 12 o'clock, the worried Blue Devil left the apartment, flagged down a taxi, and hurried to the ancient house of Aixin Jueluo on Jixing Street.
At this time, all the nobles of the Aixin Jueluo family had arrived and were gathering at the gate, and Zhang Ji had also arrived.
"Hey, you're the only one? What about Captain Xu Huairang?" Before the Blue Devil walked out of the car door, the notary Zhang Ji ran over and asked.
"Hasn't the captain arrived yet?"
"Nope!"
Strange as this is, he is by no means a man who does not keep his promises. I waited in the apartment all morning, but I didn't see him, and I thought he had already come. ”
"No one saw him? Everyone has been waiting since early in the morning. Zhang Ji pointed to the person in front of the door and said.
Over there, there is Ms. Aixin Jueluo's mother and daughter, and the fat man is also here, dressed up in fancy clothes, and the blonde girl with heavy makeup is also there. There is also a family of workers, called Mr. and Mrs. Hanako, elderly sisters...... Everyone waited a little tired, with obvious impatience on their faces.
"I convey to you all the captain's orders, and say that this time I will be able to get my wish. They were all very excited to hear it. Ay! What the hell did the Captain do?" Zhang Ji also looked very anxious.
At this moment, the worker's child lying on the tree next to the door suddenly shouted: "Ah, that motorcycle is running so fast!" And voila, awesome! ”
"Ah, yes, like flying. Oh, it's coming this way. The crowd shouted one after another.
"Da ......!" A motorcycle sped up, sending up a puff of smoke. When the car stopped, a man jumped out with a pair of windproof goggles on his face, a fur hat on his head, and a pair of large leather gloves on his hands.
"Hmm, it's Captain Xu Huairang......" Zhang Ji shouted. We're waiting for you to die, Captain. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The special express train I was riding derailed in the middle of the way, and 12 people died. Therefore, the train is late, so ......" Shirahiro looked at his watch while explaining the reason for his late arrival to everyone, and then urged everyone: "It's not too early, let's hurry up and get to work!" And they came to the courtyard through the small gate. Bai Lang was in front, walking towards the discarded stone mill next to the ancient well.
The cobblestone mill was already covered with moss, and Shiraku looked at the stone mill intently, and after a while, he took out a knife from his pocket and swept the moss and dust from the stone mill. After sweeping for a while, suddenly the tip of the knife touched something hard. Shirakuro put his finger in and pulled out a ball. He wiped the dirt off it and placed it in the palm of Zhang Ji's hand.
"Ouch, this is, this is a ......," Zhang Ji cried. In his hand was a large diamond that shimmered brightly. The crowd shouted excitedly.
Shirarou continued to search with a knife. After a short effort, another large diamond appeared in front of everyone. Three, five...... A total of 18 diamonds were dug up, and everyone was speechless in surprise.
"Look, this is the treasure, guys." Bai Lang said.
"A third of the diamonds here are yours." Zhang Ji said.
"No, I don't. However, thanks to your kindness, it seems to be disrespectful. So, I'll take one!" Bai Lang picked the smallest of the 18 diamonds and put it in his pocket. The rest was handed over to the notary Zhang Ji.
"That's it, Blue Devil, let's go!"
Saying that, Bai Lang didn't look back, and pulled the blue devil from the small door and hurriedly left.
"How did you come up with that stone grind?" As soon as he returned to the apartment, the Blue Devil asked impatiently.
"It's simple. For so many years, no one thought of going up there, which was stupid. The people thought that the treasure must be a whole bag of gold and silver, so they could not think about the stone mill. ”
"The treasure turned out to be diamonds. It turned out that Aixin Jueluo Zaiyi had already converted the entire bag of gold and silver into diamonds. In this way, it is easy to hide the treasure. When he heard that the revolutionary army was coming towards the house, he hurried towards the courtyard, and at the same time asked his son Aisin Jueluo Fengze to stop the revolutionary army, and it was enough for five minutes to perfunctory, and during these five minutes, he hid the diamond in the hole of the stone mill and covered it with some earth. 5 minutes is more than enough for this little work. If the treasure had been a whole bag of gold and silver, he couldn't have hidden it so quickly. ”
"Yes, sure enough, the emperor lives up to his painstaking efforts."
"When did you discover the secret of the stone mill?"
"I found out last year, you didn't notice, on that painting, the rest of the painting is messy and blurry, except for the crooked stone mill, and the moss on it, the painting is clear and realistic, I thought at that time, that stone mill must have a famous hall, but I can't think of where the famous hall is."
"Now that you've discovered this secret, why don't you dig for treasure sooner?"
"If I had wanted to get my hands on the diamonds sooner, I would have done it a long time ago. However, if you think about it, the aristocrats of the past are now poor, like that Ms. Aixin Jueluo often makes some female celebrities, and she can barely get by, which is not bad. But some of them have been reduced to Hanako, and they are honest and kind people. In these years, it is because of their honesty and kindness that they have fallen to such a state.
They were convinced that they would one day find a treasure, and they never gave up on such a fantastic hope, so every October 10th, they all gathered in the ancient mansion to wait for the treasure to appear.
"Remember last October 10, when a boy from a worker jumped into a well and was later rescued? At that time, everyone thought that the boy had found something in the well, so they searched like crazy, and almost stripped the boy naked.
"Isn't it pitiful that they are so obsessed with treasures and look forward to their appearance? And how can I ruin their beautiful dreams? I was content to see them rejoicing.
"To do this, I will find the treasure in front of them. And give up a third of my diamonds, in the hope that those who are poor will have more happiness and joy. And the reason why I took the smallest of them was just to keep it as a souvenir. ”
Bai Lang took the little diamond out of his pocket, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it intently, his heart filled with indescribable joy and relief. At the same time, a trace of auspicious and benevolent light flowed from the eyes, like the bright light of spring in March, with a warm feeling.
