In order to avoid the killings of the Japanese invaders and to escape famine, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Shandong, Henan and other places abandoned their families, families, and children and poured into the pass.

After seeing that the business could not continue, Qin Liangyu and his wife were forced to close the store. They sold some items in the store that could not be taken away. They only took this bracelet and some valuable gold and silver. Jewelry, and other gold, silver, money, and other items, he carried his three-year-old son Qin Jinlin (Qin Yunan’s father, hereafter collectively referred to as Qin’s father), and two daughters (his couple originally had three daughters, and the youngest daughter was When he was less than one year old, he unfortunately died early due to illness.) Together with a few of them, they followed the refugee camp and came to Guannai in the autumn of the year when the Anti-Japanese War broke out.

After seeing the Japanese army burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil wherever they went, Qin Liangyu had no choice but to escape from the war with his wife and children and fled from Henan to Shaanxi.

Later, after a lot of hard work, they arrived here. From then on, their family settled here. They made a living by selling some antiques and cultural relics.

The days passed like this. Since he moved his children to Shaanxi, his family has long been reduced to an ordinary family. In addition, due to the war, the living situation is not as good as before. Their family , after arriving here, he lived peacefully for several years.

Until later, a robbery occurred at home, which completely changed the fate of their family.

This incident can be traced back to the autumn of that year, on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

One evening in the autumn of that year, Qin Liangyu was preparing to close the store early and go back to his house to rest due to the recent unrest.

Just as he was closing the store door, two young men in their thirties suddenly came from outside and hurriedly came to him.

"I'm sorry, master, we have closed the store. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Qin Liangyu said politely after seeing the person coming.

"I'm sorry, master! My wife is seriously ill and is in the hospital. She needs some money urgently. Master, can you tell me how much these things are worth?" After listening to his words, a young man in his thirties took some money from his arms. I took out some antiques and put them in front of him, and then asked him.

"Oh!" After listening to his words, Qin Liangyu picked up the antique and identified it carefully.

After he looked at these antiques carefully, he picked up a magnifying glass and distinguished them carefully.

"Master, these things of yours are not genuine. They can be worth up to 200,000 yuan (the currency of the Kuomintang before liberation, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to one yuan now). I will not buy more. Please take it away!" After Qin Liangyu appraised the antiques, he said to the visitor.

"Don't be like this, master! My wife's medical treatment will cost at least more than one million yuan, and the price you gave is too low. You can at least add some more money!"

"No, Master. These things of yours are not genuine. They can only be worth two hundred thousand yuan at most. If it's more, I won't want it. You'd better take your things away!" After listening to what he said, Qin Liangyu said to him.

"Okay! Now I don't have to worry about saving people's lives. Do you think how much this thing is worth?"

After listening to what he said, the two visitors looked at each other and murmured for a while. One of them, a man in his thirties, took out a few more ancient things from his arms and said to him.

said.

"Oh!" After hearing what the visitor said, Qin Liangyu picked up the ancient book and identified it carefully.

"Well, these things are almost genuine. I wonder how you got these things?" After Qin Liangyu made some appraisals of the ancient knowledge, he found that these ancient knowledge were all genuine. So he asked the visitor

asked.

"Master, people in the Ming Dynasty do not do secret things. My name is Liu Shisan, and this is my brother-in-law, whose name is Luo Yuezhang. We are all from the plateau nearby, from XX Township. We are all farmers nearby.

The two of us often heard that there was a general's tomb nearby, and there were many valuable antiquities in the tomb. Therefore, the two of us risked our heads and dug out these antiquities because the current situation was not peaceful recently.

So I hid these antiques in a cave in Majiagou. I wanted to wait for the situation to be more peaceful and sell them at a good price. Alas, I didn’t expect that my wife was seriously ill in the past few days, and the operation required more than one million yuan.

Yuan cash (the old currency before liberation, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to one yuan today). I had no choice but to discuss it with my wife’s brother and had to dig out some antiquities from the cave dwelling, hoping to sell them.

Save my wife's life. Who would have thought that these things are only worth so much money, which is not enough to cover the cost of my wife's surgery. If you are willing to buy the antiques, these things will all be yours. As long as you give me some money, save

Just save my wife's life. Alas! If my wife hadn't been sick and was in a hurry for money, who would be willing to take such a risk. Now in order to save my wife's life, I don't have to worry about much. Master, if you are willing

, just follow us to see Gudong! As long as you like something, the two of us are willing to transfer these things at the lowest price. What do you think? "

"It's already this time, it's too late. If you want to go, wait until tomorrow morning!" Qin Liangyu said in embarrassment after listening to what he said.

"Master, I'm really sorry. The two of us dug these ancient things out of an ancient tomb. Now the government is investigating the matter, and they found out that they are all nonsense. So the two of us dug these things out.

Gudong is hidden in a cave. If the two of us hadn't been waiting for money now, I wouldn't have sold it to you at such a low price. If you are willing, bring the money now and go with the two of us.

Let’s go see the goods! If you really don’t want to, the two of us will go find someone else to do the business.” After seeing Qin Liangyu still hesitating, the two people looked at each other and said to each other.

He said. The two people talked and wanted to leave his stall.

"Master, where did you two hide the treasure? Is it far from here?" After seeing the two people turning to leave, Qin Liangyu thought about it and felt that this was a very cheap business and couldn't help but

Then he asked.

"Not far, not far! Master. It's near Magou. It's only seven or eight miles away from here. It only takes more than an hour to walk. Master, please bring some money and go with the two of us!"

"

"This...this...we have no one at home for the time being. Let my wife and I discuss it before we make a decision!" After listening to what he said, Qin Liangyu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, shopkeeper. But hurry up, my wife is still waiting for this money to save her life! If you really don't want to, forget it, let's find someone else!"

"Okay, master, you can wait for my wife to discuss it before making a decision! Gentlemen, please sit in the living room and drink tea first!" After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, he let the two people into the living room. Then he entered

He went into the inner room and started discussing with his wife Cheng Guizhen.

"Old Qin, it's not safe in the middle of the night. I think you'd better not go. Be careful of being fooled by others!" After hearing that he wanted to follow two people to see Gudong, his wife Cheng Guizhen tried her best to stop him.

stand up.

"No, old lady! I have already tried their products just now. They are all genuine products. This is a cheap deal. We can't miss this opportunity..." After listening to my wife's words,

, Qin Liangyu explained patiently.

After Qin Liangyu saw that the business was profitable, he moved Liu Shisan and Luo Rizhang to the study, and then went to the back house, where he and his wife Zhao Guizhen discussed the purchase of Gudong.

"Old Qin, it's not safe in the middle of the night. I think you'd better not go. Be careful of being fooled by others!" After hearing that he wanted to follow two people to see Gudong, his wife Cheng Guizhen tried her best to stop him.

"No, old lady! I have already tried their products just now. They are all genuine products. This is a cheap deal. We can't miss this opportunity..." After listening to my wife's words,

, Qin Liangyu explained patiently.

"Hey! Old man, let me go with you! I'm a little worried about you going alone! I always feel that something might be wrong."

"It's okay, old woman. The children are still young and have gone to bed. If you go there, what will happen to our store? I'll be back in an hour or two."

"Okay, old man! After you go there to see the goods, come back early and don't bring too much money." After listening to his words, his wife kept telling him.

In this way, driven by the desire to take advantage of small things, Qin Liangyu could not resist the temptation of the two scammers, and fell into their trap step by step, and followed them to their home to see the goods.

went.

When the two swindlers saw that he had fallen into their trap, they coaxed him to a remote corner.

"Master, where is the treasure you are talking about? If it is too far away, I won't go!" Seeing that it was getting later and later and the roads were getting more and more evasive, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

He had an ominous premonition. So he immediately stopped and kept asking questions.

"It's not far, Master! It's just near the small tree in front. We'll be there in a moment." After seeing that he had doubts about this matter, Liu Shisan, who was standing next to him, said quickly.

"Two masters. When I asked you about the treasure just now, you said it was here. Now when I ask you about the treasure, you said it was near a small tree. Do you two have a treasure? Where is the treasure?
