Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 190 Treasure
"There have never been any temples or Taoist temples in the mountains?" Luo Baolin frowned while holding the suspected piece of ebony.

"This wood must have floated down from the upstream. If there is no temple in the upstream, how could there be such a sculpture? Did the temple be destroyed when the Four Olds were broken?" Luo Tianwang asked.

"Impossible. If it was destroyed when the Four Olds were destroyed, I wouldn't know about it?" Luo Baolin said with certainty.

"In my opinion, although people today may not know whether there were temples and Taoist temples in the mountains, it does not mean that there were no such things before. This ebony is proof. This thing will not fall into the river out of thin air. It is also impossible for others to pick up this thing from a long distance and throw it into the river. There is only one possibility, and that is the source of the river. There may be an ancient site hidden in that mountain. I think there should be more than one occurrence in this river. This kind of wood carving should have appeared in other things." Huang Yafang analyzed it.

Huang Yafang's analysis activated some long-term memories of Luo Baolin: "Huh? When Xiao Huang mentioned this, it reminded me of something. When the brigade was collecting manure everywhere, we cleaned up all the silt in the river in Hemawan Come out and use it as fertilizer to add to the field. The silt in the river is really good fertilizer. The vegetables grown are really good.”

"Grandpa, don't talk about the mud, tell me if you found anything in the river." Luo Tianwang was anxious.

"Oh, good. Let me talk about the discovery in the river first. When we cleared the silt, we found a lot of bowls hidden in the silt. At that time, we thought it was some old landlord who hid his family's bowls in the river to avoid liquidation. But the strange thing is that our Hemawan is not very rich, and there are no big landlords and local tyrants. The poor peasants make up the majority, the minority are middle peasants, and there are only a few rich peasants. There are no landlords and local tyrants. These rich peasants have no families. That kind of beautiful bowls. Later, the bowls picked up from the river were distributed to the production team. A few bowls were distributed to the family. Our family also got a few. Then they were all smashed. That I didn’t know this kind of bowl was worth much at the time. If I knew it was so valuable, I wouldn’t take it out. Last time Boss Zhou came to our village to collect bowls, and some families sold them for hundreds of dollars.” Luo Baolin said.

Luo Tianwang hadn't heard of this last time: "Then why didn't I hear you mention it last time?"

"It's been many years. And at that time, everyone was afraid of troubles. So we made an agreement not to tell this matter. At that time, I was not very old." Luo Baolin said.

Zheng Kaihang patted his thigh excitedly: "That's right, the bowl in the river and the ebony carving we picked up are all washed out of the mountain. Maybe there is a huge treasure buried in the mountain."

"Treasure? Could it be that Boss Zhou also ran to Hemawan because of this treasure?" Luo Baolin was puzzled by Zhou Qinghu's frequent visits to Hemawan, and only now did he understand what was going on.Zhou Qinghu must have found out that the antiques received in Hemawan village were all fished out of the river, and then guessed that there might be treasure hidden somewhere in the mountains, so he often ran to Hemawan.It must be the idea of ​​playing treasure.

"Boss Zhou also knows?" Luo Tianwang asked in surprise.

"You guys can figure it out, but he, a person who specializes in this business, can't think of it? Everyone in the village thought he came for the exquisite bed of Guangfu's family. Now it seems that he is after the treasure in the mountains. Come." Luo Baolin said with certainty.

Huang Yafang said worriedly: "If they know, this treasure may have been found and stolen by them."

Luo Baolin shook his head: "Probably not yet. If the treasure was stolen by them, why would Zhou Qinghu come here often? They are doing things in the mountains of Hemawan, and it is impossible for the people in Hemawan to know nothing about it. No. Oops! I’m afraid Changqing is a partner with him. Every time Zhou Qinghu comes, he stays at Changqing’s house. Every time Changqing treats Boss Zhou with good wine and food, it turns out that he regards Boss Zhou as his God of Wealth Grandpa."

"As soon as the weather clears, we will go into the mountains to find the treasure. We must find the treasure before them." Zheng Kaihang said.

"Otherwise, you should stop looking for any treasures. If you meet Boss Zhou when you are looking for treasures, I'm afraid he will hurt you. If something happens in the mountains, it will be dangerous." Luo Baolin Said with some worry.

Luo Tianwang regretted that he didn't bring Xiao Hei back together.If there is Xiao Hei and his subordinates, it will save a lot of effort to enter the mountain, and the safety is also guaranteed.

"Why don't we call the police." Li Shishi was also a little worried.

"Now we are not sure whether there are treasures in the upper reaches, and the police may not believe us. And since Boss Zhou is in this kind of business, and dares to come to your village to collect antiques blatantly, he must have a strong relationship on the Baidao. This kind of Those who are in the antique business don’t have any background, so can this business continue?” Luo Tianwang was worried that they would go to the police, but someone would send the news to Zhou Qinghu immediately, and the small group would help Zhou Qinghu find the treasure instead.

"Yes, we must be wary of them." Zheng Kaihang agreed with Luo Tianwang's opinion.

"Actually, we may not lose to them. Because they don't even know that there are others who know about the treasure. They haven't done it for a long time, probably because they haven't found the place yet. Moreover, they are also afraid that others will find out. Doing this can only be very difficult. Do it covertly. We just need to be careful and enter the mountain with other excuses, and they shouldn't notice us." Huang Yafang is a lot older, and her comprehensive analysis ability is still very strong.

"Okay, that's all we've settled on. In the next few days, we'll go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and look for them." Luo Tianwang said.

Luo Tianwang also planned to use this period of time to make some preparations.Although there is no way to domesticate a dog as smart as Xiao Hei in a short time.But taming all the local dogs in the village and gathering them together is not a small force.

Luo Tianwang's first target was the big black dog of Luo Guangfu's family.Although the big black dog is a bitch, she is tall, fierce, and quite intelligent. If she is domesticated, she should be able to command all the local dogs in Hemawan.

At night, the rain finally stopped, and the sky was full of stars.This kind of night scene is very rare for Zheng Kaihang and other urban children.It is difficult to see the beautiful starry sky in the city.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky." Li Shishi exclaimed.

"That's right. The city is brightly lit at night. Even if there are stars in the sky, they still look blurry. You will never see such a bright starry sky." Huang Yating stared at the sky.

"Look! Meteor!" Xu Shuangyan shouted in surprise.

A meteor streaked across the sky, leaving a long tail behind.
