Huang Yixian rolled his eyes at Wen Qingshan: "Who will go if there is no benefit! Forget it, we won't get involved in this matter. Boss Wen, you should go find the treasure by yourself."
Wen Qingshan raised his head and smiled: "Haha! Master Huang is really quick to talk! However, I just said that you can't take advantage of this treasure, but I didn't say that there are no benefits."
"What's the benefit of that?" Huang Yixian suddenly became interested again.
Wen Qingshan said: "As long as you are willing to accompany me to Qipan Village, no matter whether you find the treasure or not, I will give you 300,000 as a reward. In addition, if the treasure is found, I think the national reward will not be a small sum."
As for the amount, when the time comes, I’ll give you 40%, how about that!?”
Huang Yixian asked: "How much can this reward be?"
Wen Qingshan said: "Generally speaking, the government will provide 15-% of the treasure as a reward, but for such a large treasure, I estimate that 5-10% is pretty good."
"Only 10%!" Huang Yixian looked a little disappointed.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, it's already a lot! According to my estimation, if it is really the Dashun treasure, the value of gold and silver alone is probably more than 10 billion."
Huang Yixian suddenly raised his head: "How much more!?" We were all shocked, 10 billion! This is an astronomical figure that I had never dared to imagine.
Wen Qingshan seemed to have expected this reaction from us. He said calmly: "Master Huang, don't be too surprised. This valuation does not include the cultural relic value of the things hidden inside. Therefore, even if it is based on 5
Calculating the ratio of %, such a large reward may be enough for you, Master Huang, to spend several lifetimes."
Huang Yixian seemed extremely excited. He turned around and asked us in a slightly trembling voice: "I'm a little confused right now. Can you... help me calculate, if it's 5%, how much bonus can I get?"
"
"5% of 10 billion is 500 million!" Jianjian blurted out.
"What... what? Five... five hundred million!" Huang Yixian's breathing became rapid.
We were all excited, but Wen Qingshan was very calm. He smiled and said, "But don't get too happy too soon! What I just said is just my speculation after all.
There will inevitably be variables in things. Firstly, the Dashun treasure may not necessarily be in Qipan Valley, and secondly, even in Qipan Valley, it must be full of traps and dangerous, not to mention, we may not be able to find it."
"Of course! But no matter whether there is a treasure in Qipan Valley or not, we have to go and take a look! Boss Wen, when do you plan to leave?" Huang Yixian seemed to be a little impatient.
Wen Qingshan said: "I still have some things to prepare. If Master Huang doesn't mind, how about staying one night in a humble house and setting off again tomorrow?"
"Okay! Okay!" Huang Yixian nodded immediately.
The next morning, Wen Qingshan led Niu Fatty to purchase a lot of special tools and equipment for caving, because he had already conducted some exploration of Qipan Valley during the Spring Festival and found that the area belonged to karst landforms.
The typical feature of this landform is that there are many caves, so in his opinion, the treasure must be hidden in some hidden underground cave. In fact, he planned to investigate the cave system around Qipan Valley that time, but it was a pity that the area
Suddenly there was heavy snow and the mountain was sealed. In addition, Fatty Niu's father was killed again, so things were delayed.
After lunch, we all piled into his Toyota SUV and rushed to Liang County.
On the way, Wen Qingshan told us that he actually has a mysterious profession that is not well known, that is, a professional treasure hunter. He often searches for the whereabouts of some ancient secret treasures based on the clues hidden in ancient books. After finding them,
He handed over the treasure to the state for disposal and received a large reward.
In the past twenty years, he has traveled all over the country, sometimes working with others, sometimes acting alone, and has found many treasures and received considerable rewards. And if what he finds this time is really the Dashun treasure,
Then it will be the biggest treasure he has discovered in his life. For him, this is not actually a question of how much money he can get, but more importantly, an affirmation of his self-worth.
When a group of us arrived in Liang County, it was already past seven o'clock in the afternoon. Wen Qingshan originally said that he wanted to find a hotel to stay, but Huang Yixian refused and insisted on letting Wen Qingshan stay at home, despite Wen Qingshan's repeated suggestions.
But, in the end, I couldn't resist, so I stayed at Qibaozhai that night.
Qibao Zhai is rarely so lively. The happiest person is Uncle Zhai. He has been staying at Qibao Zhai alone for more than two months. Now everyone has finally come back. His face is full of smiles. He cooked a large table of dishes in the evening.
He also specially took out a jar of Wuliangye that he had treasured for many years.
After having dinner and wine, Huang Yixian called Mr. Qi from Qiping Village. Ever since I moved into Huang Yixian's house, Mr. Qi would come to Qibaozhai to see me every time he came to the county town. And every time he came, he would give Huang Yixian a ride.
Over time, he and Huang Yixian became friends. Now Mr. Qi is over seventy years old. Although he no longer holds any position in the village, his status in the village is still unshakable. Since we want
When you go to Qiping Village, you naturally have to say hello to him first, so that he can take care of you then.
The next day, we got up early in the morning, first accompanied Fatty Niu to visit his father's grave, and then drove to Qiping Village.
On the way, Wen Qingshan told us that after we arrived at Qiping Village, we must not mention the search for the Dashun treasure, so as not to cause trouble. If the villagers asked, just say that we were going to inspect the underground cave system in that area.
Because Qiping Village is too remote, despite the rapid economic development in Liangxian County in recent years, Qiping Village has not changed much compared to more than ten years ago. Fortunately, the county has vigorously developed rural roads in the past two years.
, put forward the construction goal of "roads in every village", and now there is finally a four- or five-meter-wide cement road leading to the village. Otherwise, we would have to park the car in Sanyuan Township and then drive more than a dozen
Enter the village via the mountain road.
When the car was still a hundred or two hundred meters away from the village entrance, a burst of "cracking" firecrackers suddenly sounded in front of it.
Looking at the large group of people gathered under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and the rising smoke caused by the setting off of firecrackers, Wen Qingshan said doubtfully: "Is there anyone in the village holding a happy event today?"
Huang Yixian chuckled and said, "They are just here to greet us!"
"Welcome us? How can the villagers in this village be so enthusiastic?" Wen Qingshan was a little surprised.
Huang Yixian said: "Boss Wen, you don't know something, because the people in Qiping Village regard Shi Yu as a relative, so every time he comes, the people in the village will be so enthusiastic."
Wen Qingshan turned to look at me and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems I was right to call you here!"
There happened to be an open space in front of the village entrance, so Wen Qingshan parked the car on that open space. As soon as we got off the car, Mr. Qi led a large group of villagers to greet us, and shouted at the top of his lungs from a distance:
"Daozhang Huang, Shi Yu, you are finally here!" His voice was still loud, and he seemed to be quite strong.
The villagers surrounded us and walked into Qiping Village. Everything in the village was still the same. Compared with last year when I came on the anniversary of Master’s death, there was almost no change. Looking at the familiar scene in front of me, I suddenly felt a sore nose.
I don’t know why, although I have never lived in Qiping Village, this place gives me a sense of intimacy from my hometown. Perhaps it’s because Master is buried here.
Second Master Qi took us to his house. Because there were too many people, the room was too crowded. What’s more, it was a hot day and it was quite stuffy when everyone was crowded in the house. So his daughter-in-law came out of the house very enthusiastically.
After moving out a few benches, we sat down in the yard. Except for a few older villagers, the rest of the villagers soon dispersed. Mr. Qi took a puff of dry tobacco and smiled.
Question: "It's still more than half a month before the death anniversary of Master Mo. Why did you come early this time?"
Huang Yixian replied: "In addition to visiting my senior brother's grave, we have another thing to do here this time."
"Oh? What else?"
"We..." Huang Yixian had just finished speaking when Wen Qingshan suddenly interrupted him: "Master Huang, why don't you let me talk about this matter."
Second Master Qi looked at Wen Qingshan doubtfully and asked, "Who is this...?"
Huang Yixian quickly introduced: "This is Professor Wen Qingshan, an expert from the provincial capital. Let him tell everyone."
Wen Qingshan stood up, first bowed his hands to everyone, and then said: "We came to Qiping Village this time mainly to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the underground cave system in this area."
After hearing this, Mr. Qi took a puff of dry smoke and said with a naive smile: "Haha, what's there to investigate in these holes?"
Huang Yixian hurriedly said: "Second Master Qi, you don't know this. Now the county is vigorously developing tourism. Do you know about the Qixing Rock in Shuimiao Township? Because that cave was developed into a tourist project, the surrounding areas are now
All the villagers have become rich."
A nearby villager took over Huang Yixian's words and said, "It's true! I have a relative who lives in Shuimiao Township. He told me last time that since Qixingyan was opened to tourism, the per capita income in their village has increased.
Several times. Now his family has built a three-story building, Mr. Qi, we are shouting every day that we want to find a way to get rich, maybe this is really an opportunity!"
"Is there really such a thing?" Second Master Qi immediately became energetic. He turned to Wen Qingshan and said: "Professor Wen, we people in the mountains don't understand much about the investigation of caves. If you think we can do something to help,
