"Brother Xiaobei, this should be the place Da Laohei mentioned."
Chen Xiaowen could not hide his excitement.
Everyone was also talking, "Yes, yes, let's go in and take a look."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and was the first to walk in holding a torch. The entrance to the cave was not too deep, but there was only a turn when entering the cave, so it was quite hidden.
Just after taking two steps forward, something tripped under my feet?
Chen Xiaobei lowered his head and saw that it was a baggage.
Darling, at that time, Da Laohei also told me that he was a burden, so that’s right.
Chen Xiaobei tried to kick it twice, and there was a splashing sound, like the sound of something hitting.
After making sure that there were no poisonous insects or snakes, Chen Xiaobei lowered his body and reached into the baggage to touch something, which was hard and cool.
When he took it out, he saw it was so golden that it almost blinded him.
"Gold." Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but exclaimed.
As soon as he called Jinzi, several people from outside immediately ran in. When they saw the golden treasure in his hand, they couldn't help but get excited.
"Great, I found it. I found it."
Chen Xiaobei then put the torch aside and unpacked the baggage. The scene in front of him still shocked him. There were a lot of gold, jewelry, jewelry, and jadeite.
How much money is this worth?
Chen Xiaowen next to him opened his mouth in surprise, "So it turns out that you can make a fortune by robbing families and homes."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but stood up and kicked this kid, "Where are you thinking?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Chen Xiaobei carefully packed the baggage and then carried it on his back.
"Let me say it first, I won't give these treasures to any of you, and I don't want them myself. After Zhu Meng and the others leave, these will be used to renovate the houses, cultivate the land, and buy these livestock in the village. In short,
We want everyone in our village to live a good life."
Upon hearing this, the village guards applauded.
Chen Xiaobo suddenly said in a formal tone, "Okay, great, Xiaobei has a long-term plan. I can't wait."
Chen Xiaobei was a little surprised when the usually obedient Chen Xiaobo suddenly said such words. He looked up at Chen Xiaobo and said, "When did you learn these words?"
Chen Xiaobo scratched his head in embarrassment, "Teacher Huang Ying taught me, I don't know if that's right."
Well, since it was taught by Huang Ying, it’s not right either.
"Okay, let's go back, remember, don't tell anyone about this."
Everyone walked back happily, but not far away, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and they saw Chen Daqiang, a member of the village protection team, running over in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Chen Xiaobei, he started waving and shouting from all the way, "Brother Xiaobei, come and take a look."
Seeing Chen Daqiang's excited look, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but smile and asked, "Seeing that you are so happy, have you discovered the vault?"
Chen Daqiang pretended to be mysterious, "Oh, you will know when you come."
Just go. Anyway, Chen Xiaobei was in a good mood today, so he followed Chen Daqiang.
After twists and turns, we stopped in front of an inconspicuous cave.
It is said to be inconspicuous because there are not even a hundred but fifty caves like this on Centipede Ridge.
At this time, Chen Dayong led a group of village protection team members, and there was a lot of discussion there, and everyone's face looked very excited.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Chen Dayong pointed inside, "Brother Xiaobei, see for yourself."
Chen Xiaobei walked a few steps inside while holding a torch. There was a turn in front of him, and then the cave suddenly became smaller. The cave that was originally big enough for one person to stand now had to be crouched down and walked.
Look carefully at the narrowed entrance and a stone door that is opened.
If you don't look carefully, you will think that this cave is just that, and you will naturally turn around and leave.
Chen Dayong followed behind and explained with a smile, "I thought it was nothing after I came in. I turned around to leave, but my hand accidentally touched the roof of the cave. Hey, squeak twice, and a stone door opened here."
"Did you go in and take a look?" Chen Xiaobei turned around and asked.
"I've seen it. It contains food, wine, and some weapons."
"What a pity, I didn't find even one tael of silver."
Chen Xiaobei said to his heart, given the urinal nature of these people, I will lose even if you can find a penny.
Food and wine are necessities for bandits. It seems that these bandits have really made long-term preparations.
It's a pity. If they hadn't killed Liu Yuanwu, I might still be living a happy life now.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, carefully moved his steps, and got inside. After entering, it turned out to be a completely different world. It was at least as big as half a basketball court and about one foot high.
The food is packed in sacks and stacked on wooden boxes to keep it ventilated and dry.
Jars and jars of wine were sealed with black mud. In this sealed space, there was a faint aroma of wine.
The light smell of alcohol can also kill bacteria in the air and prevent bugs from getting close to the food. Mixing the two for storage is a good choice.
This is enough to show that people have realized the necessary conditions for grain storage at this time.
Look at the weapons piled in the corner, including swords, guns, swords and halberds.
There is no use keeping these, but they can be used to arm the village guards.
Chen Xiaobei called everyone in and moved all the weapons out. He also moved two jars of wine and took them back together.
As they walked back, the mountain became lively.
A thousand garrison troops led by Hu Fan also arrived.
There was definitely no room for them in the previous cottages, so they had to find a place to live on their own.
Seeing the busy Hu Fan, Chen Xiaobei suddenly thought and asked someone to bring two jars of wine and walked forward to meet him.
"Magistrate Hu, long time no see."
Hu Fan, who was busy, put down his assistant and said, "Chen Xiangzheng, I'm so ashamed. I'm here to compete with you for territory."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"Alas." Hu Fan sighed heavily again.
"I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be here. I'm afraid I will be known as greedy for life and afraid of death!"
After all, he is still a scholar, and he still cares about his reputation.
However, isn’t life more important than a false name?
Moreover, in the final analysis, this is just a dispute between the court and the court. Nothing more.
"Magistrate Hu, you are worrying too much. Early this morning, Mao You said that you would withdraw to Centipede Ridge. His Highness the Crown Prince also praised you for judging the situation and knowing how to advance and retreat."
Upon hearing this, Hu Fan had a look of surprise on his face, "Your Highness seriously said that."
Knew it.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "That's natural. When have I ever lied?"
"By the way, these two jars of wine are for you."
Hu Fan was filled with joy and took it with a smile.
"Thank you, brother. When we settle down, you and I will raise a glass and drink together."
"Easy to say, Magistrate Hu, Prince, you must not make any mistakes now."
Hu Fan clasped his fists again and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
