Chapter 222 The Most Strange Way to Get Treasure
After hearing these words from his cousin, Li Huizhong's expression became particularly complicated. He lowered his head as if he was having an ideological struggle. At this time, his cousin did not ask him any more questions, but began to talk. Li Xiaoli's various legendary experiences are told, including how he fought with his grandmother Zhang, how he found the location of the treasure with the help of Mr. Zhao, and other wonderful experiences of Li Yuanwai, Zhang, and the Jew.
Li Huizhong listened very carefully, and we all noticed that when he listened to this, he looked pious and respectful. After his cousin finished speaking, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Teacher Wang is better than us descendants." It’s really humbling to know about our family history and ancestors. I will definitely ask you for more advice when I have time in the future.”
He poured a glass of water for his cousin, then sat back on his seat, thought for a while, and then continued as if he had made up his mind: "Since Teacher Wang knows everything, I will no longer hide anything from you. What did you say,"
The cousin's successful psychological warfare completely dispelled Li Huizhong's worries, because his cousin's words made Li Huizhong feel that the secret of this hidden treasure was indeed known to others, especially the cousin who even connected the silver ingots in the cave. Having already met Jin Yuanbao, there was really no need for him to conceal it any longer, so Li Huizhong told the whole story about the treasure.
It turns out that although Li Xiaoli and Mr. Zhao's generation often went into the cave together to get some gold and silver, but later, when they both had families and their children and grandchildren grew up, they began to take out the treasures from the cave separately. .
We thought that the method passed down by the Li family to steal treasures from caves must be the same as that of the Zhao family. After listening to Li Huizhong's explanation, we realized that this was not the case at all.
It is more mysterious and incredible than we thought. It can be said that it is also full of many unsolvable mysteries.
First of all, the relationship between Li Xiaoli and Mr. Zhao is a bit beyond our expectations, because we feel that the two are friends in need and have a teacher-student relationship. The relationship between the two must have always been very good, but This is not the case.
For most of their lives, the relationship between the two was indeed good, but for some reason, the relationship between the two suddenly deteriorated in the later stages of their lives. At that time, Mr. Zhao was in his eighties, and Li Xiaoli was also in his eighties. They are already over sixty years old, so they are considered two old people. I don’t know what happened between them, and they suddenly broke off their friendship.
But the relationship between the descendants of later generations was still okay and they were not affected by these two old people.
As for what happened between the two, neither family could tell clearly. Some guessed that it was because of the woman. They said that Xiao Lian was having an affair with a concubine of Mr. Zhao, and some guessed that it was because of the cave. Financial issues.
But there is a taboo topic between the two families, which is that they must not talk about the treasures in the cave. In the Zhao family, only the two oldest and senior people know how to take out the treasures in the cave; in the Li family, they They obtained the treasure in an extremely weird way, which was very different from the Zhao family. The Zhao family was prosperous, so only a few people in the Zhao family knew that their family's wealth came from the mysterious cave. Some people also think that their family has business in other places, and the money they receive from time to time is just a share of the family business.
But in the Li family, this is not the case at all.
The Li family all know that there is a mysterious place in the back mountains of this county. This place is of great significance to the Li family. It is a mass grave;
The so-called mass graves are those who cannot be buried in their ancestors' graves due to various reasons. There are also many dead babies who are thrown away because there is a taboo that dead babies must not be buried. Those in ancestral graves can only be thrown away anywhere, and they must not be buried with soil.
Except for babies, people who died young cannot be buried in ancestral graves. It is said that if these people are buried in ancestral graves, it will affect the fortunes of future generations, so there are random graves in many places to bury such people.
Because in the past, medical conditions were poor, so there were many dead babies and people who died young. Many hungry people would go there to eat the corpses of babies. Most people thought it was dirty and scary, so even in broad daylight, few people would go there. That kind of place, let alone at night.
Why is this place so significant to the Li family?
Because on the last night of the lunar month, after midnight, a large package will appear in the crevice of the rock behind a big tree in the mass grave. It is full of silver ingots and gold ingots, and sometimes some jade and jewelry. Of course, this kind of package does not appear every month, but as long as it appears, it must be on the night of the last day of the lunar month, because the last day of each month is called the "dark day", which means that There is no moon at night, so even if it is sunny, the night will be very dark.
The fact that the Li family has few heirs is also related to this matter.
After Li Xiaoli's death, his descendants all knew the secret, but the Li family was different from the Zhao family. In the Zhao family, only two patriarchs could retrieve the treasure, while in the Li family, as long as you were brave, you could go to Luofenggang to find the package. But the Li family has one of the strictest family rules. This kind of secret must never be told to anyone outside the Li family. If it is revealed to outsiders, you will definitely die. Although this matter has not been verified, the Li family believes it very much. curse.
In addition, there is another taboo about picking up packages, that is, two people should go together. If two or more members of the Li family appear at the Luofenggang at the end of the month at the same time, they will definitely die.
This incident did indeed happen. When Li Huizhong was a child, three young men of his uncle generation wanted to go to that mass grave to retrieve the treasure. At that time, these three people, who were seventeen or eighteen years old, were the most frightened. , when they were most fearless, they were young and energetic and wanted to challenge this taboo, so the three of them decided to go together.
But he never came back. Later, after dawn, people found the corpses of three people on the mass graves. They died very miserably. Their bellies were cut open, and the internal organs inside seemed to be covered with something. The food was clean and the place was in a mess.
From then on, for a full year, none of the descendants of the Li family dared to pick up packages from the mass graves.
Li Huizhong's father was the most courageous among the descendants of the Li family. About a year after this incident happened, Li Huizhong's family was a little nervous about money, so Li Huizhong's father gritted his teeth and chose a night at the end of the month to make his own fortune. With courage, he quietly touched the mass grave, hoping that another package containing treasures would appear in the crevice of the rock to solve his urgent need. What Father Li didn't expect was that there were six or seven packages in the crevice of the rock, and each one They were all filled with bulging gold and silver treasures. Because there were too many, he couldn't take them all back at once, so when he returned for the second time, he specially took a pole and used two baskets to pick up the treasures.
Since then, Li Huizhong's family has accumulated considerable wealth.
But it is extremely dangerous to go to the mountain to pick up packages, because not only do you have to go alone, but you also have to not go too early. You can only go after midnight and before dawn. In other words, you can go early. No, it's not okay to go late. In the Li family, within a few decades, many people went crazy because they went too early and didn't know what they encountered in the graveyard. Outsiders didn't know what happened. What happened was that everyone thought that the Li family had an inherited mad disease, so it was difficult for the Li family's children to find wives in the local area.
Therefore, many Li family members would rather endure hardship and poverty than take the risk of going to the mountains to get packages, because it is too dangerous and scary. Therefore, for the Li family, the mass graves are not only a temptation of wealth, but also full of unlimited hope. A terrifying and dangerous hell on earth.
We didn't expect that the Li family's treasure was obtained in this way, which was completely different from the Zhao family's. The way they obtained the treasure was so weird and terrifying, and there were so many fatal taboos. They couldn't go together, and they couldn't go together. If you go too early, you can't go too late and wait.
But Li Huizhong told us that his character is a bit like his father, he is bold and likes to take risks. The more dangerous things are, the more inexplicable excitement he feels sometimes. Therefore, he will go there every weekend night. Although the mass graves in the back mountains don't have packages filled with treasures every month, you can definitely get one almost every three or four months.
Occasionally, other descendants of the Li family tried to get it, but every time they were behind him, so they could only return empty-handed, because no one except him dared to go so early.
Of course, the earlier you go, the more likely you are to encounter danger. But the problem is, no one knows when you go to encounter danger. Therefore, the process of picking up the package is like a job. In the final of life and death, whoever is bolder and takes risks will get the package. In these decades of competition, Li Huizhong got the package first every time, so his wealth was accumulated in this way.
After listening to Li Huizhong's story, we were all shocked by the Li family's method of collecting treasures. Only the expression on his cousin's face was relatively calm. After listening to Li Huizhong's words, he took a sip of water and asked Li Huizhong seriously and sincerely: "Mr. Li just said that your ancestral teachings are not to tell outsiders about this matter, otherwise your life will be in danger. Now that you have told us about it, don't you have any scruples?"
Li Huizhong shook his head seriously and replied: "As I said just now, I am a brave and adventurous person at heart. The more taboo, the more I want to challenge sometimes. I also know that this is very dangerous, but I just endure it. I can’t help but want to give it a try, maybe I’m just such a desperado, and I probably won’t have a happy ending.”
