(It's been updated. I'm begging for tickets. All kinds of tickets.)
"Maybe. Who knows? Perhaps one day, his good luck would run out. Now that his luck was still good, he would get as much as he could.”
Each silver coin was different according to its species. One silver coin usually weighed between 26.6 to 27 grams, which meant that there were at least 3000 silver coins!
Even if they were all the most common varieties, it would still be the salary of an old skilled worker for 30 to 40 years!
"Brother Long, we'll split this silver each!”
Seeing that he still had something to say,
"Don't have any objections. When you go back and deal with it, you can use this money to invest in my sister's factory. My sister and Brother Han have already told you to invest in the company. Even if the money is small, we'll count you in. These sacks were picked up for free. You'll feel better if you take them and invest in them.”
Sister Ping was finally ready to go big this time. The more money, the better. If Long Zhixi only had a few thousand yuan, Sister Ping would give him more shares.
Both Qin Shi and Brother Han knew that Long Zhixi did not like to take advantage of his own people. With this sum of silver as a base, he would feel more comfortable.
However, whether you were willing or not, you had to give him a favor!
"Alright then. However, if there are any more treasures for you to dig up in Hanzhong, I don't want them either. I'm just a laborer.”
Qin Shi scratched his head." Alright, I know your temper." However, don't get blinded by it!"
"I've escorted gold bricks from a gold mine before, a few hundred kilograms each time. Even if you dig out a jar of gold bars, I won't be jealous.”
"Up to you."
He stuffed the pockets of silver coins and the excavation equipment into the 'trunk' behind the backseat so that no one would be suspicious.
As for the silver coins he dug up this time, he didn't need to wash them at all. He would talk about it when he got home.
The good thing about the jeep was that it had a large load capacity. With an additional 170 to 180 pounds of things, it was as easy to run as when they had just arrived.
Not to mention this little thing, even if it was overloaded by a large amount, it would not be a problem!
When the car returned to the guest house, it was already noon.
He had originally thought that if there were other people around the river bank, he would scout first and dig at night. He didn't expect it to be settled so quickly. Then, he had to check out, eat, and hurry!
He would try to reach the northern part of Beihu Province that night.
It was more than 390 kilometers from Luoshan to Yangdi, and they only arrived in the middle of the night. They didn't enter the city, but they saw a military station by the roadside. They stopped the car and asked the sentries before staying at a military hostel nearby.
From Yangdi to his destination, there was still more than 600 kilometers in XX County in the Hanzhong area of Xiqin Province. In the years when there were no freeways, driving for a day was like driving a god!
However, there was one piece of good news: When they reached Sunland, they could follow the 316 National Road all the way northwest. They didn't have to ask around for fear of going the wrong way.
He had suffered enough from asking for directions and going the wrong way for the first thousand kilometers!
Tired! Today was New Year's Day in 1980. The two of them only set off after nine o'clock. After passing through Laohekou, Danjiangkou, and Shiyan, it took them almost 10 hours to reach H County at night!
There was no problem with the car. It had just been maintained before the departure. This person was terrible!
Daba Mountain had beautiful scenery, but the road conditions were really bad. Even the drivers felt dizzy.
H County was a small county, so he stayed for one night. The next day, the two of them drove for an entire day. After a long journey of more than 400 kilometers, Qin Shi and his wife finally arrived at XX County in the Hanzhong area. In fact, they had already passed by the final destination of this expedition halfway through the journey. However, that place was barren and wild, so they still needed to recuperate in the county town.
The next morning, Qin Shi made his preparations and drove back for half an hour.
Halfway through, he studied the map of XX County for a long time before finally arriving at a mountain peak that was not particularly high, but it was definitely not short.
"How do you know there might be gold on it?”
Long Zhixi couldn't help but ask as he looked at the mountain peak that was slightly yellowish-green in winter.
The nearest village they had passed by was more than a mile away, and the area around them was filled with mountains. They had traveled almost 2,000 kilometers just to come here and dig for treasures. This Qin Shi was either a god or a lunatic!
"Reading newspapers and miscellaneous books. This mountain was the top of Li Family Village, Group 3, Erlishan Village, Wudu Town, XX County. It was originally a mountain stronghold, but later it became a temple. It was said that a small troop from Taiping Country had been here before, but they were surrounded and completely annihilated!
In the end, the Qing army did not even find a single piece of silver. However, when the common people dug the terraced fields, they dug out a few gold ingots. The last time was in 1977.”
"The book said that?"
"Yes, I saw it in a magazine.”
"You're ruthless. You ran 2,000 kilometers with this little clue.”Looking up at the mountain peak, Long Zhixi felt a headache.
"This will take some time."
"No need, just look for the ruins of the temple on the mountain. They were surrounded, so who would come down to hide the gold?”
The car turned into a small hill and stopped. The people passing by on the dirt road could not see the car at all. Actually, even if someone came and saw the car, no one would touch it. There was no need to worry about it being left alone.
This was the good thing about military off-road vehicles. As long as the ground was slightly flat, they could drive even if there was no road.
Qin Shi was carrying his mountaineering backpack, and Long Zhixi was carrying a military backpack. Inside the backpack were lighting tools and other equipment, as well as some drinking water and food.
If they ran into anyone, they would treat them as staff from the geological bureau. Even if the common people were curious and came to take a look, there would not be any big trouble.
There were no houses or residences on the mountain. Moreover, the two of them did not plan to dig around in front of others if someone came to wander around.
It was just a small path made by people who had come up the mountain to work. There was still some snow in the forest on both sides. The temperature was very low. Even with the sun above, the temperature was still around zero degrees.
When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, they felt like they were about to sweat.
Other than the two of them, there was not a single bird in sight.
However, Long Zhixi found traces of roasted sweet potatoes and picnics on the top of the mountain. They were left two days ago at most. It seemed that there were really some idle people who came here to play during the New Year's break.
He rested for a while, drank some water, and checked the surroundings.
The temple at the top of the mountain had been destroyed. It was unknown whether it had been destroyed by a long time or by the evil destruction of the four old things.
He could roughly make out the shape of a courtyard around him. There were some ancient building stone components scattered in the courtyard, and there was also a stone tablet that had the words "Huang Qing" on it. In a temple that had not completely collapsed, Zhang Nan also found a wooden plaque from the 12th year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty.
"All good will return."
"If we don't have gold, we can bring this plaque back and sell it for a few thousand dollars in thirty years!”
He entertained himself in his heart.
There was only a small path from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Long Zhixi went to keep watch first and started to work with the detector.
He didn't look around and headed straight for the northeast corner of the courtyard.
In less than ten minutes, a very strong beeping sound came from the earpiece!
He placed a brick as a marker and continued searching. However, two meters away from the marked point, the detector had a strong reaction.
She smiled brightly." Big Head is already here!”
However, he did not stop and continued to search. In an hour, he had almost searched the entire courtyard. Finally, he found the third possible location of the hidden treasure at the corner of a collapsed house.
There was no need to search anymore. He just had to wait for the excavation later.
Why didn't he look for her anymore?
It seemed that in 1998, the temple on the top of the mountain was rebuilt. As a result, a large number of gold ingots were discovered, causing a sensation in the archaeological community of Xiqin Province! In the end, even the geological team from the province brought over precision instruments to investigate the mountain top and the surroundings. They found a total of three treasure spots.
Therefore, Zhang Nan didn't need to waste any time. He went to find Brother Guan Long,
"I found out. There are three places that might have treasures. When do you think we should start?"
"Is it buried deep?"
"It's not deep. It's probably half a meter deep.”
Long Zhixi asked to estimate the digging time.
As expected, he looked at his watch and said,
"It's still early. We'll wait until it's close to three o'clock in the afternoon before we make our move.”
He put away the detector, the shovel, and so on and waited to rest.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, even the most idle guy would not come up the mountain to loiter. Regardless of whether they were tourists or workers, if they climbed the mountain after three o'clock, they might have to go back in the dark.
Long Zhixi's position allowed him to see the situation at the foot of the mountain and part of the mountain road clearly. The two of them waited until 2:40. In the past few hours, except for a person passing by the road at the foot of the mountain, nothing was out of place.
"Xiao Shi, I'll watch first. You go and dig now.”
"Alright!"
He had been waiting for this.
He took out his hoe and axe, lowered his head, and dug at the first marked point!
A pit with a diameter of 60 to 70 centimeters was dug deeper and deeper!
They hadn't even dug anything out yet, and Guan Xingquan had already brought this shovel over.
"I'll do it. You rest for a while."
He ran to the observation post and took a look. After a while, he heard Long Zhixi calling out softly,"
"Come here, there's something."
He ran back and saw that he was holding two shiny gold ingots in his hands!
"I really have to hand it to you. There really is a treasure!”
He swung his arms and did it! After a while, he took out 105 gold ingots from the pit. Each of them weighed about six or seven taels of silver. They should be the "ten taels of silver ingots" from the 16 - 2 system.”
There were no markings on the ingot, and it was shaped like a saddle.
Which dynasty was it from? Taiping Country Army?
The two of them did not have the time to study this. They put the gold ingots into their pockets and used the detector to make sure that there was nothing missing. Long Zhixi used bricks and soil to fill the pit and started digging at the second marked point.
Qin Shi was timid, and he even went to take a look at the situation at the foot of the mountain every now and then.
Peace and peace.
Half an hour later, the second marked spot was also dug up. It was still a gold ingot!
There were a total of 200 identical gold ingots stacked together! Just like the first pit, it was obvious that they had been buried in a hurry and did not even put a pot in it!
Heavens, just the gold ingots alone weighed more than 200 jin!
After finishing the beginning and end, they rested for 15 minutes.
They dug the third marked point. This pit was deeper, and the two of them took turns digging. They dug about a meter before they found the treasure.
Long Zhixi thought it would be another dazzling gold ingot, but it turned out to be a gray-brown silver ingot.
The sky was getting dark. Long Zhixi was holding a big one in his hand and asked,""How big is this?"
"Fifty taels of silver, each weighing more than three catties, close to four catties. The small ones are ten taels."
He dug out a total of 16 50 taels of silver and 15 10 taels of silver. He did not check if there were any markings on them.
He didn't have the time.
They quickly cleaned up the battlefield and prepared to retreat.
