Chapter 126: Treasure Map
Everyone in the village knew that Chen Da had amnesia, so they were more tolerant of his ignorance.
Sun Ximu smiled kindly, "Brother Dayou, I am Ximu. I have been following you everywhere since I was a child. I am here to help you with your work."
Chen Dayou glanced at him, turned around and walked away.
"Go to work, he doesn't remember anything. Oh, what a good boy." The village chief smoothed things over for him.
The yard was busy. On one side, Ms. Cui was packing her luggage, and on the other side, Cui Zhifan arranged for people to help the village chief and Aunt Sun move the heavier furniture.
The move was too big, and now everyone knew that Cui had given the newly built house to the village chief.
Mrs. Chen was cursing at home, unable to speak clearly and salivating. She also scolded Chen Meng for being a coward and not daring to knock on the door, and scolded Chen Zhi for trying to please others for a long time without getting any benefits.
He also scolded Chen Xiang for bragging and flashing his tongue, making himself a human being inside and out, and arousing ridicule.
Chen Zhi was so angry that he carried a basket up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, out of sight and out of mind.
As soon as I went out, I met Sun Ximu.
"Chen Zhi, I was just looking for you. The village chief asked me to call you to work at your elder brother's place."
"I," Chen Zhi blushed, fearing that his mother's curse words would be overheard, "I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be in trouble and people in the village will gossip."
"No matter what they are doing, your sister-in-law asked the village chief to call you. She seems to have something to say to you. Keep your voice down so your second brother and the others don't hear her."
After much persuasion and dragging, Ximu brought Chen Zhi to Mrs. Cui.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Zhi lowered his head, for fear of being misunderstood that he was here to care about things.
"You really can't come here if I don't call you?" Mrs. Cui showed off her sister-in-law style and scolded: "Yesterday I told my uncle that I would give the house to them. The uncle said it would be best to give it to you, but I refused.
"
"Sister-in-law, I don't want it, I really don't want it." Chen Zhi blushed to the root of his neck.
"I know you don't want it," Ms. Cui pointed to the stool for him to sit down. "The reason why I don't give it to you is not because of anything else. It's because if I give you a house now, the second son's family and mother-in-law will definitely be all
Move in,"
"With Chen Meng's tendency to eat more and take more, I'm afraid there won't even be a place for you and Xiu'er to stay when you get married. I don't want to give the house to you at the expense of the house I worked so hard to build, so I can't give it to you."
"But I left six hundred taels of silver with my uncle. When you and Xiu'er get married, I told your uncle to help you buy a house in the town. I heard that you can buy it with three hundred taels.
Go to a very good location, and you and Xiu'er will see what you do with the remaining money. Then you two can live a good life, stay away from the second brother and the others, and don't mess with him."
"Sister-in-law, I don't need it, I don't want money," Chen Zhi felt warm in his heart.
His mother was not good to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and she even felt ashamed when he saw them. He didn't expect that his eldest sister-in-law would plan so much for him, and he wanted to cry.
"Sister-in-law, I really don't want it. It costs a lot for Brother Ran to study. I, I'm afraid that he won't have enough money to study. I also told Xiu'er that I will save money to help Brother Ran study in the future. How can I get it from you?
Get money? Besides, the capital city is no better than us.
We have to spend money on food, clothing, and everything here, and things are still expensive. No matter how much money we have, we won’t be able to spend it. My eldest brother is like that, everything has to be taken care of by his sister-in-law. Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Cui family has a good job.
It can be of some help, eh."
Counting over and over again, he felt worried for his eldest brother and his family.
I don’t know if my decision to return to Beijing is right or wrong.
Seeing his sad look, Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have money here, which is enough, and my elder brother in Beijing has already made plans for Brother Ran. Just listen to my arrangements, everything will be fine this time."
Go and work at your elder brother's place quickly, and take two rabbits with you when you go back, so as not to be complained by them when you go back."
Complaining that he came over to help with the work, he brought two rabbits with him so that Chen Meng and the others could be silenced.
Chen Zhi responded dully, feeling moved and ashamed at the same time, lowered his head and went out to find his elder brother.
When the village chief came from home again, he brought back a small cloth bag and walked nervously to Cui Zhifan, "Sir, there is something here, little old man. I have been hiding it for a long time without taking it out. I want to give it to you today.
Could you please help me find out what these are?"
Cui Zhifan quickly helped the village chief sit down, "You're welcome. If you hadn't taken care of me these years, I don't know what would have happened to my sister and the children. My sister and I have to respectfully call you uncle. If you have anything to say, just say it.
I will definitely do my best."
"Don't dare, don't dare." The village chief said while looking around.
Cui Zhifan immediately led the village chief into his house.
As soon as he sat down, the village chief put the cloth bag he was holding on the table and spread it out. Inside was a letter and several dark wooden signs.
When Cui Zhifan read the letter, his expression changed drastically on the spot. He picked up a wooden sign again, his hands trembling.
Suddenly he stood up and asked, "Uncle, where did you get these things?"
The village chief was shocked by his actions.
He said nervously: "The village was hit by a disaster last winter, and people were about to starve to death and freeze to death in the winter. Jiabao'er dreamed that there was a lot of food in the middle of the mountain. You also know that this child is different from others, and there is indeed no other child.
I'll figure it out. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to believe
If we had children, it would be better if we had food. If we didn’t, we would just go hunting in the mountains. So we went to the middle of the mountain, where there was the largest waterhole, and the food was piled in the woods next to the waterhole. The night we arrived, we slept in
Next to the pool, in the middle of the night, a group of men in black came..."
Cui Zhifan was shocked when the village chief told him what happened that night.
The monkeys on the mountain followed Jiabao's instructions to take care of the food, and the bloodthirsty wild wolves were able to cooperate with the monkeys under Jiabao's instructions to deal with the men in black until all the men in black were killed.
The villagers found the wooden sign and the letter from the man in black, then burned the man in black to ashes and threw the remains into the pond to remove all traces.
Everyone has been warned by the village chief, and no one dares to come back and talk nonsense. Those men in black are mysterious and unpredictable, and they died at the hands of the villagers. This is a huge disaster, and everyone knows which one is more serious.
After the village chief finished speaking for a while, Cui Zhifan didn't even come back to his senses.
Let’s not talk about the shock brought to him by Garbo’s command of the beast.
The letter in my hand is as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.
The strange symbols on the letter are Beidi characters, and the picture on it is not a painting, but more like a map.
The matter was so important that he had to think about it carefully.
Why do the Beidi people appear in the deep mountains and old forests? These wooden signs are obviously their status symbols. What does that map represent?
Take the letter to a well-lit place and carefully identify the foreign characters.
He was a talented man praised by everyone in Da Qi, and he knew the languages of the surrounding countries.
The letter said that after many explorations, the other half of the treasure was finally found. When the recipient matches the other half of the treasure map with this one, a complete map can be pieced together.
Treasure map!
Cui Zhifan was shocked and took the picture in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Mountains, rivers, trees, mountain paths...
Some special places were marked, and as we continued to search for the marked numbers, the clues suddenly stopped.
Chapter completed!
