Chapter 589 You Are Testing Me

He had to sigh, this ginger is still hotter than old. Regardless of whether Uncle Liu did it intentionally or not, it was obviously impossible for the child to suffer at all if he followed Old Man Zhu.

Even if Old Man Zhu sometimes has to teach the little girl to keep a serious face, the old lady will definitely be coaxing her into a little cotton-padded jacket.

They don't have to worry about food, drink, schooling, career, marriage when they grow up. Based on the worried nature of the old couple, they must make proper arrangements for the little girl before leaving.

In addition, with cousin Shen Aoxue taking care of her, the little girl will be happy and contented for the rest of her life as long as she has sweet treats.

I learned from Uncle Liu that the little girl’s name was Song Xiaoya.

This piece of national jade seal invisibly represents Uncle Liu's intention to pass on the little girl to Old Man Zhu. It can be exchanged for fifteen cities of He's Bi. Used here, it not only expresses the little girl's affection in Uncle Liu's heart. status, and also implicitly and euphemistically expressed that the little girl is a piece of beautiful jade and hopes that Old Man Zhu and his family will treat her well.

After the adoption of the little girl was settled, Old Man Zhu proposed to show Chu Hao the treasure room of the house.

Of course, Uncle Liu agreed. He leaned on crutches and insisted on taking a few people there in person. The middle-aged man was worried that he would be tired and wanted to go there for him, but Uncle Liu waved his hand and refused.

Chu Hao supported Old Zhu, followed by Jin Jing. The little girl was happily eating White Rabbit toffee while walking behind Uncle Liu with her short legs.

Several people came to the backyard, where they could vaguely see the traces of pavilions and pavilions built in the past. Now there is only a piece of scorched earth that was burned black, and countless potholes of shocking sizes.

Old man Zhu pointed at the potholes and gloated to Chu Hao:

"See, this is the mark left by those people who dug three feet into the ground. Do you think that the idiom "digging three feet into the ground" is just talk? These people really did it. It's a pity that they are exhausted. , and it’s destined to be impossible to dig out anything..."

With the support of the middle-aged man, Uncle Liu sat down on the stone bench beside him and sighed: www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"As the ancients said, every man is not guilty of having a treasure in his possession. The fact that my Liu family has hidden a huge treasure is no longer a secret. Over the years, countless groups of people have come here, including everyone, and there are also a bunch of people who carry all kinds of treasures with them. They dug in the yard for most of the night, but found nothing. If they hadn't seen that we had no intention of stopping us, they subconsciously thought that the hidden treasure was probably groundless, and the turmoil gradually subsided. ..."

Chu Hao glanced at the entire yard. It was empty. Except for a pair of stone tables and benches, there were no weeds. One can imagine how many people had visited here and not even weeds could grow.

There was an old well in the center of the yard. He walked over and took a look inside. It was an empty well. The bottom of the well was not deep, and he could see the yellow mud at the bottom.

The walls of the well were also in terrible shape, with traces of cuts from all kinds of swords, guns and axes, and the soil from the bottom of the well was also blown up.

Chu Hao was really curious. Where was the Liu family's treasure room? All the things in it had been moved out by Old Man Zhu. Logically speaking, if so many things were moved in and out, there would be dense footprints left at the scene. It's inevitable.

Apart from the caves and footprints all over the yard, the direction of the treasure cave could not be seen at all.

Seeing that Chu Hao was confused, Old Man Zhu laughed and said:

"Stop working so hard. If I let you see the secret behind this, wouldn't it mean that those people in the past were all idiots? Come on down, let's stop talking nonsense and reveal the answer directly..."

"Go down?" Chu Hao pointed to the old well:

"Uncle Zhu, are you saying that the treasure cave is underground?"

"Why bother talking so much? Just go down if I tell you..."

Old Zhu waved his hand impatiently, and Chu Hao glanced at the bottom of the well. The middle-aged man took a long ladder and lowered it into the well, just holding it to the bottom.

Chu Hao climbed down the ladder. When he took two steps, Old Man Zhu shouted from above:

"When you see a stone brick with sharp edges on the left, reach in and pull out three bricks, then reach out and push the innermost one hard. Remember to use your strength and use all your strength to suck milk..."

Chu Hao followed Old Man Zhu's arrangement and found a stone with sharp edges on the surface. The walls of the well had grown damp over time and were covered with moss. The stone bricks were hidden inside. It would be difficult to detect it if you didn't identify it carefully.

He pulled out three stone bricks with difficulty, then reached in and touched another stone brick. He pushed it forward with all his strength. The stone brick moved slowly and finally reached a position where it was difficult to push it anymore.

"Take two more steps and find a stone brick with a concave center on the right side. Pull out three bricks as usual. Remember not to push this time, but to pull hard. There is an iron ring inside. Don't make a mistake. Otherwise, the well will

It's about to collapse, just wait and bury yourself inside..."

Chu Hao did not dare to be careless and followed Old Man Zhu's instructions and successfully pulled the iron ring to the limit.

Afterwards, there was constant pushing and pulling, and Chu Hao realized that this should be a mechanism setting, not complicated.

It’s just that you can’t make a mistake in any of the steps. If you make a mistake, the whole mechanism will be activated, causing the entire well to collapse, and even the treasure cave below will collapse.

When he reached the bottom of the well, Chu Hao again followed Old Man Zhu's instructions and used all his strength to pull out a rusty iron ring next to the well wall connected to the yellow muddy ground.

With the sound of "bang", the whole ground began to tremble, and Chu Hao found that there was a gaping hole at the bottom of the well under his feet.

The opening continued to expand over time, revealing the true depth of the old well, and the constantly creeping opening was actually a huge boulder nearly one meter thick.

Good guy, it's like robbing a tomb and digging to the tomb door. Chu Hao was also surprised. He didn't expect that a family who looked ordinary in the courtyard would actually set up such a checkpoint underground.

The boulder stopped squirming just enough to accommodate his feet. Chu Hao knocked on the boulder. It was very hard and could not be shaken with an ax or a hoe. The excavator was still about the same and had to come in.

As for explosives and the like, if the bottom of such a cramped well explodes, it will directly bury people alive.

Chu Hao moved the ladder down to the bottom of the well. It was dark. Old man Zhu threw down a flashlight and continued to direct the miner Chu Hao to push and pull below.

The bottom was much deeper than the top. After wasting a long time, Chu Hao finally reached the real bottom of the well.

As the iron ring was pulled for the last time, the well wall in front of him seemed to be slowly opening its mouth in front of Chu Hao.

The cracks became bigger and bigger, and Chu Hao realized that this was the door to the treasure cave.

Reminiscent of the time I went into the well just now, there was no trace of shallow groundwater except for moisture.
