Tomb Robber: Stop pretending, I am the Zhang family!

227 Chapter 228: Snatch the box

An old-fashioned through-the-heart lock is locked on the tin box, which is already rusty, and even with a key, it is estimated that it cannot be opened.

"My little brother said that this box is very dangerous. Could it be that there are some traps inside, hidden arrows, poisonous needles, etc.?" Tian Zhen said.

"It's very possible. The box is so big. It should be easy to hide some mechanism or something. We have to be careful. If we can't, find some sulfuric acid and melt this big iron box." The fat man said.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, go away and let me do it!" Zhang Yunfeng pulled out the Longyuan sword directly.

When they saw it, they quickly hid aside.

Zhang Yunfeng was also polite, and directly slashed at the lock with his sword.

With a bang, the old-fashioned Tongxin lock was cut into several pieces by a single sword, it felt like cutting wood.

Then Zhang Yunfeng pulled up the ring and opened the lid of the box.

Everyone lay down on the ground almost subconsciously, for fear that some mechanism would shoot out of it.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the box, and there were no hidden tricks as expected.

"Scared me, it turned out there was nothing, little brother, you are very unreliable this time." The fat man let out a long sigh of relief.

Then everyone gathered around to watch the things in the box, but the things inside were beyond everyone's expectations.

The thing inside the box is a human-shaped metal lump, like a huge iron gourd. The surface of the metal has been rusted and blistered. At first glance, it looks like the poisonous glands on a toad. People feel a little sick.

Everyone couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, thinking, what exactly is this iron bump?Why put it here?

The fat man seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said to everyone: "No, this motherfucker is probably a bomb, get out of the way!"

"You fart, have you ever seen such a bomb? Even if there is such a bomb, after so many years, it must have misfired. I don't think my brother is so outrageous that he would put a bomb under his bed." Naive Said angrily.

I don't know what age this iron lump is. Some pattern decorations can be vaguely seen on the surface, but most of them have rusted, and I can't tell what it is. I can only roughly guess that this thing is probably In the late Qing Dynasty, or the period of the Republic of China.

While the two of them were chatting, the little brother actually lifted the lump out of the box. From his appearance, the thing was very heavy, but the little brother put it down again after weighing it twice.

"The real stuff is in there."

"What? Brother, do you mean that there is something wrapped in the iron sheet?" Tian Zhen asked.

The little brother nodded.

But the fat man asked suspiciously: "How do you know it's empty? Just weigh it like this and you'll know the weight?"

As a result, the little brother ignored him, which made the fat man embarrassed for a while.

Naively looked at the little brother again and asked: "Brother, you should have hidden this thing before, do you still have any impression now? What is wrapped in this iron sheet?"

The little brother shook his head, indicating that he couldn't remember.

The fat man said: "I heard that there used to be a kind of metal covered with gold. In order to transport the gold, they made a layer of iron sheet, and then wrapped the gold in the iron sheet for transportation, so that no one would find it. Could it be that there is something hidden in the iron bump?" Is it gold?"

The little brother shook his head, and directly denied Fatty's guess: "It can't be gold, the weight is wrong."

Speaking of iron-clad gold, Tianzhen couldn’t help but think of a Tibetan mastiff raised by his grandfather in the early years. That Tibetan mastiff was also called iron-clad gold. He was kicked to death by the cattle in the village.

"It's not gold. What is it? It's so mysterious. It can't be something insignificant, right? Why don't you just split it open with a sword and see what it is?" said the fat man.

Zhang Yunfeng looked at his younger brother.

After all, this thing belongs to my little brother, so if you want to open it, you have to get his permission.

The little brother still shook his head: "Don't open it, I think the things inside are very dangerous."

Zhang Yunfeng had no choice but to give up.

So everyone continued to study this thing, but after looking at it for a long time, they didn't find anything interesting. It happened to be time for dinner again, and Yuncai girl ran into the yard to ask them to eat. Seeing this, everyone quickly hid the iron gourd stand up.

Prepare to come back to study after eating.

Zhang Yunfeng ran to the toilet to pee, but at this moment, he suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone. When he opened it, it turned out that it was sent to him by the second child of the Wu family.

[The thing you found is of great use to me, I will send someone to snatch it away immediately, and you will play a show with my people. 】

After reading the message, Zhang Yunfeng immediately replied: [I see. 】

It turned out that on the night they entered the village, Wu Laoer also brought his buddies to the village, and Zhang Yunfeng had revealed the news to him.

It's just that their actions are very secretive, and they are stationed in a farmer's house at the back of the village. Except for Zhang Yunfeng, no one knows their arrival.

After coming out of the toilet, Zhang Yunfeng washed his hands as if nothing had happened, and then went to the living room to prepare for dinner.

Girl Yuncai had already prepared food for everyone, while Agui was carrying a large pot of sweet wine and poured them a glass.

Then everyone ate and chatted without saying a word.

While they were eating, two men in black quietly came to the alley of the wooden building at the back, then climbed from the alley to the roof and turned into the yard.

One of them was in charge of guarding, and the other was looking for things. They quickly found the iron gourd hidden under the bed, and ran out carrying the iron box.

Soon they came to the bottom of the courtyard wall, threw the tin box out, and then followed them over the wall.

This huge movement attracted everyone's attention, the little brother immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and rushed to the backyard as if flying.

"What's the matter? Brother, if you don't eat well, what do you want to do?" The fat man looked at him puzzled.

"Someone is stealing!" The little brother said without looking back.

When everyone heard this, they quickly followed suit.

When the little brother came to the yard, he happened to see one of the men in black jumping over the wall and entering the alley. There was a series of footsteps and the friction of metal mopping the floor.

The little brother suddenly realized that the box might have been stolen, so he immediately climbed over the wall and came to the alley, only to find that the two men had already walked a long distance, carrying the box one after the other and running quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chased after him directly.

But there are small alleys like this all over the village, with twists and turns, and it is easy for people who are not familiar with the terrain to go around in circles.
