Chapter 167 Broken trust with those people back then

On the opposite wall, a passage was cracked in the corner, allowing only one person to pass through.

Tench lit a candle and waited until the air inside was almost gone before he went in holding the burning candle.

It was pitch black inside the corridor. Tengyu followed the faint light outside to find the position of the oil lamp on the wall, lit it, and then turned around and closed the door.

The tunnel is not very long, and the stairs soon begin to go down. Fortunately, the oil lamps lit along the way were able to light, which proves that the tunnel is still ventilated.

When he came, Old Man Ma told him to come out as soon as the lit candle went out and wait until it could be lit before going in again.

Even if Old Man Ma didn't talk to Dingyu, he would know this truth, but he could tell Dingyu the precautions one by one, and Dingyu still took note of them carefully.

He quickly came to the first trap he had set up, took out the actual path drawn by Old Man Ma, and stepped on it carefully. If he stepped on it wrongly, he would be facing more than a dozen rusty swords underneath.

According to Old Man Ma, there is a trap dug more than ten meters below. The trap is filled with iron swords. If you are not familiar with the road conditions and fall in, there is basically no way to survive. Even if you are not pierced by the iron sword, you will not be able to get up and will be starved.

Die underneath.

They are all tomb robbers all year round. It is not difficult for them to set up a small trap. If time was not so tight back then, they would not have set up such a small trap to pick up leaks. No matter what, there were five or six dense traps that he could not avoid.

Tengyu followed the route and finally passed the passage without any surprises, and then came to the treasure room where a bunch of boxes and a tripod were placed.

Seeing Tengyu coming back again, Old Man Zhong thought she had just taken her things and left! So he was a little surprised to see her appear.

The cauldron was as high as her chest, had three legs, and the cauldron lid. She didn't want to see what kind of tench was inside. Curiosity would kill the cat. Those tomb robbers took advantage of this and placed things in the cauldron.

of.

As for what was placed, even Old Man Ma didn't know. Maybe this was to prevent Old Man Ma from coming blatantly.

To be honest, after hearing this, Dingyu secretly regretted helping him. What if he was poisoned?

Then Old Man Ma said that as long as the things are brought out, there is no way to open them to see what's inside, but it's just a little more troublesome when taking them out and let the tench protect itself.

Then he returned to the place where he lived these past few days and stuffed the things he had taken out of the space back into it. The space was originally slow, so he put in more than thirty large wooden boxes and a tripod to occupy the space.

Even if most of the porcelain is taken out, the remaining items still cannot be installed.

Dingyu nodded, "Okay, I have done my best to arrange the arrangements for you. You can't just express my gratitude verbally. You can also pick out a few books and volumes of paintings for me to hold. This is what I do."

Thank you in a meaningful way!"

Although the two old men also have selfish motives, they still have a sense of proportion when it comes to matters of home and country. Therefore, even though they have not given instructions, Dingyu still wants to save them some trouble.

This was to save the two old men trouble. Although they didn't say it, Tengyu knew that if the treasure was gone, those people would definitely suspect that the two people had secretly transferred it.

As for those boxes, Old Man Ma asked her not to open them until she could prove that they were not poisonous, because he was not sure whether those people would do anything to the boxes.

Then he told the old man his arrangement.

Tengyu didn't say that he had to touch an object before he could collect the things, because he wrapped his hand in plastic cloth several times, and then all the more than thirty boxes disappeared in two minutes.

It didn't take long for her to enter the deserted house to get the treasure. It was only afternoon now.

After exposing all the traps, Tengyu walked backwards along the way he came, wiping out all his footprints. When he came out of the dark room, Tengyu did not return to his original position, but took out an iron rod to open the stone door a little bit.

A big hole was made at the bottom.

In short, they cooperate with each other and guard against each other.

They were able to send people here when the country was so strict, and they thought ahead of time to keep an eye on those two people, but they didn't trust them.

Finally, there was only one tripod standing in the middle. The tench circled around the tripod. Finally, looking at the characters and patterns carved on it, it felt like it would be a pity not to hold it. So, the tench saw that there was still some space and left the tripod.

It was taken away.

After looking at the results, I felt like I found the door accidentally. Then I walked in and walked through the door with all my things before I left with peace of mind.

To be honest, when I saw this place where I found a missing treasure, I thought it was not as hidden as her treasure cave in the hot spring. However, I thought that this was the place those people were looking for urgently before leaving, and they had to dig traps outside.

That's understandable.

Old Man Zhong obviously didn't expect Ding Yu to ask for reward so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded at Ding Yu and said with a smile, "You girl, you really don't know what to say about you!"

However, isn’t it a bit much for these tomb robbers to even steal such a big cauldron?

Old Man Zhong didn’t expect Ding Yu to think about them. After hearing this, he nodded and said, “If you do this, we will know what to say. Don’t worry! As long as you still want the wood you value, the old man will put it away for you.

After all, the treasures you have there are more valuable than these useless pieces of wood."

After looking at the empty space inside, he smoothed out the footprints he left behind with the branches he brought. When he arrived at the mechanism, Tengyu took out a few stones and rolled them on the ground, and then all the traps were exposed everywhere.

He appears to be greedy for money, but he is very sincere as a person.

Both of us know what is precious.

Tengyu sighed, looked at the wood he had made, took out the stuff he had put in it, then collected the wood and headed to Old Man Zhong's scrap station in the west of the city.

"There's no room for it, so please find a place for me to put these pieces of wood first, and then return them to me when we meet again."

After getting along with each other for a few days, Old Man Zhong became more certain that he had a good vision and that they might really be able to get back the treasure that was stored in her place. In this way, he and Old Ma would not have broken their trust with those people back then.

Old Man Zhong went in to get Ding Yu the books, calligraphy and paintings she asked for, but Ding Yu didn't follow. She gave the old man something rolled up in a handkerchief and placed it on the rocking chair where he was lying. After thinking about it, he tore up a piece of paper on the table.

, picked up the pen and started writing.

When Old Man Zhong brought the book and two volumes of calligraphy and painting, Ding Yu accepted them without politeness, "I'm really leaving this time. I hope you and Mr. Ma will still be as strong as you are when we meet again!"

Looking at the back of Tengyu leaving, Old Man Zhong sighed and sat down on the corvee in a daze.
