You Fang's move is actually a variation of Jianghu Game. To put it more elegantly, it is called "Tai Gong Fishing Game", which means Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing to take the bait are called "Hoe Game", which means "Tai Gong Fishing Game". Since such a story——
A man went out on business and received a letter from his wife in his hometown, saying that spring was about to begin and the fields at home needed to be plowed for planting. He hoped to come back soon. The man couldn't leave, so he wrote back a letter saying that there was a pot of gold buried in his field. , don’t let anyone know. He asked a fellow villager to take this letter back. At that time, most rural women were illiterate, and his wife was also illiterate. After receiving the letter, he needed to find a special ghostwriter to read it.
The fellow countryman who delivered the letter secretly read the letter on the way. When his wife received the letter, she went to the ghostwriter to read it. In a few nights, her family's several acres of hardened fields were all turned over with hoes, and the gold was found. Of course I didn't find it, but there was no need to ask someone to harness an ox to plow the land.
On the way back, You Fang told this story, which made Wu Yuchong giggle. He couldn't help but touch his chest with his hand. Wu Yuchong asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Sibao also saw it and whispered to Xie Xiaoding. Xie Xiaoding said loudly: "He is touching his conscience. Can you see it?"
You Fang sighed and said: "Those fellow villagers wanted to deceive others, but they deceived themselves. Instead, they worked hard for us for three days. It is not easy to plant so many saplings in such a short time."
Wu Yuchong said with a faint smile: "You asked for it! It's not the tree you asked them to plant."
Hua Youxian smiled and said: "That land is really suitable for planting saplings. It's much easier than planting crops. It's a good thing that those saplings can really grow. If they just want to fool people and themselves, so that they can defraud money." , Brother You doesn’t have to sigh.”
…
There was a wind at night. The wind was not too strong, but it happened to make a rustling sound in the woods and nearby mountains. All five of them slipped in. Not only did this operation need to be done quietly and not to be discovered by the villagers, but also Wu Yuchong also wanted to hide it from Xue Qinan. During the day, they signed up for a "two-day trip to the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan", saying that they were going to the Bamboo Sea and staying there for one night, and returning the next day.
But they did not follow the tour group and sneaked here quietly in the middle of the night to "dig for treasures".
You Fang and Hua Youxian first went to the woods to unfurl the curtain and surrounded the "treasure place" with a radius of about four or five meters. If you stood a little further away, you couldn't see the flaw. The original plan was for You Fang and Hua Youxian to lay down their hoes and While the shovel was digging the ground, Shen Sibao was watching the wind on a hillside in the distance. Xie Xiaoding and Wu Yuchong stood nearby and watched with flashlights. However, Shen Sibao said that he could dig too and must "instruct" on the spot, so he Hua Youxian was sent to the hillside to serve as a secret sentry.
You Fang also specially taught Hua Youxian to learn how to call a local bird, how many times it sounds, and what pitch it sounds, which means different meanings.
It was reasonable for Shen Sibao to insist on staying at the scene. He used the Nine Palaces Heart Pan Technique and used the treasure map as a guide. He only determined a rough range and drew a circle about two meters in diameter on the ground. According to him It is speculated that Xue Qinan buried things below here, and now the depth is more than one meter and close to two meters.
But his spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate such a thick layer of soil and directly sense what foreign objects are underneath. Don’t underestimate this thin layer of soil, because it is integrated with the entire earth and blends with the thick earth air. For experts, The blocking effect of his spiritual consciousness is very strong. It would be great if Shen Sibao tried his best to sense abnormalities within one foot.
Afraid that everyone would damage the things below with their hoes, Shen Sibao had to pay attention to any abnormality at all times, so he had to stay on site to dig in person and give instructions at any time.
Wu Yuchong also insisted on doing it by herself, but couldn't stop her. You Fang had no choice but to give her a shovel and told her to be careful and not to use brute force when pushing the shovel to prevent herself from hitting gravel or the like. The thing was making too much noise, and I didn't expect her to be of much help.
It wasn't until the groundbreaking ceremony that Yu Fang discovered that this girl's claim that she had practiced Wing Chun was not just a pretense. Wing Chun emphasized the importance of exerting force in an inch, and Wu Yuchong mastered the force very well when the shovel was inserted into the ground. He was not an ordinary girl. Can be controlled.
Shen Sibao wielded a hoe, You Fang and Wu Yuchong each held a shovel, and Xie Xiaoding stood next to him holding a bright miniature flashlight with a straight beam in one hand.
The sound of hoes and shovels digging through the soil was not loud. It was mixed with the sound of the wind and could not be heard clearly from more than ten meters away. I think it was impossible for Xue Qinan to bury things too deep back then. At that time, this place was still a wilderness, but more than 40 years old Years passed, probably because the rain washed away the nearby hillside and the soil was silted. Later, it became cultivated land and the surface was leveled again.
This kind of soil is easy for tourists to dig. At first, there were not many gravels. When the soil was dug below one meter, the soil was gradually mixed with stones and some pottery tiles, and the movements of the few people became slower. By the middle of the night, the depth of the pit had exceeded one and a half meters, the diameter at the bottom was about one meter, and the diameter of the upper opening was more than two meters.
There was no room for more people in the pit, so the three people took turns digging. Shen Sibao used a hoe to dig up the soil, and You Fang and Wu Yuchong used shovels to lift up the floating soil. Around two o'clock, You Fang looked at the time and greeted everyone. After resting for a while, Shen Sibao frowned and looked a little puzzled. He hadn't found it yet, and he was gradually starting to feel unsure.
Wu Yuchong comforted him in a low voice, saying that if she dug a few more shovels, she might be able to find it. She was already dripping with sweat. This was strenuous work. In less than three hours, they had dug out several tons of soil. They rested for a while. You Fang went down into the pit again. At this time, when he shoveled down, it seemed that traces of mature soil were exposed. His spiritual consciousness quietly extended and sensed, without touching the earth's energy. You Fang noticed that there was something underneath, but there was more than ten centimeters of underground soil between them. layer, the induction is not very clear.
Shen Sibao seemed to have sensed it. He stood at the entrance of the pit and pointed with his hand: "There should be something down there. Dig to the side and be careful."
You Fang nodded and said: "I can see it. There are some traces of mature soil. It seems that it was touched by someone a long time ago. I just go around and dig around."
As he spoke, he paused his wrist, and then the tip of the shovel went into the ground along the edge of the traces of mature soil. It happened to not hit anything that was sensed by his spiritual consciousness. He lifted it up lightly, and a large piece of soil was lifted up. Sure enough, something was exposed underneath. : A sealed jar and a square object wrapped in oilcloth.
At this moment, Xie Xiaoding suddenly screamed, and Shen Sibao and Wu Yuchong shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"
At this moment, a lightning-like white snake suddenly appeared next to the earthen pot. Under the flashlight beam, there was a long pure white snake as thick as a wine glass. The upper part of its body shot up like an arrow, and it opened its mouth to bite You Fang, who was holding the shovel. 's left wrist.
You Fang's reaction was naturally very fast, and his movements were not big. He moved his elbow slightly to one side, flipped his wrist, and the shovel surface hit the snake's head, making a faint sound of gold and iron hitting it.
With You Fang's wrist strength, it was very easy to kill the snake. Even if he didn't exert any force, he could cut the snake into two pieces with the edge of the shovel just by turning the shovel side slightly. However, he was merciless and just cut the snake into two pieces. The white snake was photographed back, and then the white shadow was seen curling up at the bottom of the pit, and the snake disappeared without a trace.
It happened in the blink of an eye, and Xie Xiaoding's screams lingered. Fortunately, the sound was short and there was a gust of wind, so no one in the distance noticed anything unusual.
Shen Sibao also broke out in a cold sweat. He sensed something underneath, but he didn't expect that a snake would suddenly come out. With the obstruction of the soil layer, and the obvious physical cover emitted by the jar, the snake coiled under the jar was really real. It was not easy to distinguish clearly. He quickly said: "You Fang, come up quickly, I will move the things below."
"The snake was frightened just now. It should have escaped from the hole now. You should be careful." You Fang climbed up to the pit and put down the shovel, then went down to move things with Shen Sibao.
"Brother You Fang, you scared me to death just now. Your reaction is so fast! Why did you let that snake go? You could kill it with just a shake of your hand." Wu Yuchong asked, grabbing You Fang's arm.
You Fang shook his head and said: "It stayed well in the hole. It was the fact that we dug so deep in the middle of the night that disturbed it, and it bit out of self-protection reflex. It couldn't bite me anyway, so let it go." Just one horse is enough, I am not the Emperor of Han Dynasty who killed the white snake."
Wu Yuchong praised: "You are so courageous and able to keep your composure. If I were me, I would have been scared to death just now. How could I have thought of so many things? Aren't you afraid at all?"
You Fang: "I was also shocked, but people who practice martial arts pay attention to being calm and calm in every situation."
Wu Yuchong: "If anyone else said this on other occasions, I would definitely think it was bragging, but brother You Fang, you are so admirable!"
The oilcloth in the soil has decayed in many places and will break into pieces if you peel it off lightly. However, the wooden box inside is still relatively well preserved, and the paint shine can still be reflected under the flashlight. There is actually a small brass lock hanging on it. A faint layer of green rust appeared on the lock. Shen Sibao did not open the lock, but directly handed the wooden box to Wu Yuchong above.
The jar doesn't look too big, just one size smaller than an ordinary kimchi jar. It looks like an ordinary earthen jar with yellow glaze, but it's quite heavy to hold. Looking at the bottom, it should be raw soil, and no one has touched it. After passing the trace, there is a cave with the mouth of a tea cup next to it. The snake should have jumped out from there.
A few people did not check things here, but quickly backfilled the pit and planted the saplings back to their original places. The villagers had planted trees in a hurry, and the ground was turned into a mess. They did not leave any traces after all their troubles. Come, then slowly put away the canvas, held two things and returned to the hill, gathered with Hua Youxian and left here quickly.
All this happened without anyone noticing, and no one was disturbed except the snake.
After dawn, they had returned to the hotel in the city. They closed the door in Wu Yuchong's room and studied the "treasure" they had finally dug up. Wu Yuchong opened the seal of the jar in the bathroom and put it on the coffee table with a smile. He reached out and took out something, one, two, three... The golden bars were lined up on the coffee table, and they were all gold bars!
No wonder the jar is so heavy. It originally contained this kind of thing. You Fang recognized it at a glance. It was something from the Republic of China period. It was a standard gold bar circulated among the people. It had a very regular shape in twos and twos. In old Shanghai, it was It was called "yellow croaker". At that time, many large transactions either used checks or this "yellow croaker" as a means of payment. Many gangs or organizations used it to buy arms, supplies, and medicines on the black market in Shanghai.
There are a total of fifty "yellow croakers" in this jar! The current equivalent value is about 1.5 million.
Grave robbers usually like this kind of thing the most. They can keep their value in their hands and can be easily sold and cashed out. But when You Fang saw these gold bars on the coffee table, he felt vaguely disappointed, and the same was true when he looked at Shen Sibao's expression. , only Xie Xiaoding and Hua Youxian were very excited, each picked up one and played with it in their hands.
Wu Yuchong smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect that grandma would actually bury a jar of gold bars. No wonder she didn't want to take the trouble to take it out again... I heard an old saying that everyone who sees it has a share, since it was the five of us who did it together. , let’s divide it, it’s exactly ten for each person.”
Hua Youxian quickly put down the gold bar and shook his head: "How is this possible? It belongs to your grandmother."
Wu Yuchong asked: "Do you think my grandma will ask for it again? She will be very happy if I give that box to her. In fact, she knows that we will be curious. If there is a way to dig out the things, she will not No matter what, have you seen her ask us what we have been doing these past few days?"
After several people declined for a long time, Wu Yuchong glared: "Is there another way of saying it, called a certificate of surrender? We dig things secretly together, and no one is allowed to tell them, so everyone has to take it."
After talking for a long time, Wu Yuchong's attitude was very firm. In the end, the five people finally divided the gold bars equally. Each of them got ten yellow croakers. It was their own business to cook what they liked when they went back.
Shen Sibao sighed in his heart when he put away the gold bars. Normally, the "treasure" dug out by five people together would be a reward for seeing it. But none of them asked Wu Yuchong for payment. It was just the curiosity of the young people. It's just that I want to see if the thing is still there and can I find it? And Shen Sibao's most important purpose is to test the Nine Palaces Heart Pan Technique that he has just been able to operate freely, and to help his friends by the way.
But Wu Yuchong was very generous, and he gave away more than one million yuan while talking and laughing! It seems that he couldn't get the idea of the Qingyu Sword. If Wu Yuchong likes it, he will sell it at a higher price.
After putting away the gold bars, You Fang asked curiously: "I wonder what is in that wooden box. Is it jewelry?"
Shen Sibao: "I don't feel like it. How about opening the lock and taking a look?"
Wu Yuchong shook his head and said: "Since it is locked, let's not move. When grandma comes back in the evening, I will give her a surprise. She will definitely praise me for being so capable."
Xie Xiaoding said: "Can you do it? I think brother You Fang has the solution!"
Wu Yuchong did not talk back to her, but smiled and said: "It is true that Brother You Fang has the best solution, but we are all very capable, right?" Xie Xiaoding nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
…
After a busy night without sleeping, everyone went back to the room to rest after lunch. You Fang first sat down to adjust his breathing, then opened the picture album and was observing when he heard someone knocking on the door gently. He walked over and opened the door. Xie Xiaoding ducked and sneaked away. Come in.
You Fang was surprised: "Xiao Ding, why are you so mysterious? Where is Xiao Si?"
Xie Xiaoding closed the door, waved and called You Fang into the room, and then whispered: "Xiao Si is taking a rest. There is one thing he won't let me say, but I still feel uneasy after thinking about it. I want to ask you a few words. ."
You Fang was confused: "What's the matter? What do you want to ask?"
Xie Xiaoding glanced at You Fang, sat on the chair and lowered his head and said, "Brother You Fang, do you think Wu Yuchong is beautiful?"
You Fang smiled bitterly and said: "As long as you are not blind, I am afraid you have to admit that she is indeed very beautiful. This is a fact! ... But you are also very beautiful, and even cuter. Everyone needs to be able to discover and appreciate the beauty. Shen Sibao must have told you this too, right?"
Xie Xiaoding waved his hand: "I said it's not Xiaosi, but I just want to ask you, what is your impression of Wu Yuchong?"
You Fang said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't go around in circles. This is not your character."
Xie Xiaoding puffed up his cheeks, raised his head and said, "Let me tell you straight, it was Sister Xiaoxian who specially introduced you to our home in Chongqing, and then we went on a trip together. If you and Wu Yuchong..."
Just as he said this, You Fang interrupted: "I treat her well and am willing to take care of her because of her grandfather and grandmother. You should know my relationship with Professor Wu, and Mr. Xue is also very good to us. .But there is one thing you need to understand. Wu Yuchong is here for summer vacation. He will return to the United States soon. I am not a junior. I have to study abroad with someone. It is impossible. What are you thinking about? Woolen cloth?"
Xie Xiaoding smiled sheepishly: "Well, Sister Xiaoxian said the same thing, telling me not to mind my own business. But she invited you to come over to play. If you were abducted by others, I can't bear such a big responsibility. , so I have to ask."
You Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Have you already said this to Xiaoxian? What a gossip! Do you think I can be kidnapped casually?"
Xie Xiaoding grinned: "It doesn't seem like it, but with Brother You Fang's ability, he should be good at abducting others."
You Fang simply said directly: "I won't and can't abduct Wu Yuchong, so you don't have to worry about her! You'd better think about how to abduct Xiao Si. Why did you come here just to talk about this?"
Xie Xiaoding quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, there is one more important thing. Guess what I saw Wu Yuchong last night?"
You Fang stretched out the back of his hand to test her forehead: "Are you sick again? Do you want me to ask Mr. Zhou to come and see you again?"
Xie Xiaoding pushed his hand away and said: "Would you like to invite Mr. Zhou to have a drink? I'm fine now, and Xiaosi recently taught me how to control my original vision. I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, I'm not affected at all. I want to use it." It can still be used.”
As soon as he heard this, You Fang knew that she had mastered the spiritual sense, and had a special opportunity to reflect a person's intuitive impression into the mental image of the soul. Just like what he had seen in the past, he couldn't help but asked with a curious expression: "Oh, still. If this is the case, what exactly did you see?"
Xie Xiaoding lowered his voice and said: "She is a snake!"
