Chapter 118 If she had known this, she would have dug it first

That night, the outlook on life and world view of Yu Sanlang and Yu Hongdou, father and daughter, suffered a critical blow.

Especially Yu Sanlang, it was the first time in his life that he saw such a bizarre thing.

He was originally confident that he could use the dagger to lure out the two groups of people from the Cigou Village and the Huang family, but he calmed down in an instant.

Xu Da quickly finished explaining the follow-up, and Yu Sanlang finally understood why the Cao family members were so excited when they saw the dagger in his hand.

After Cao Yun and Xu Maoling's blood turned into gold, the blood color of some people in the village also changed. The two were shocked and went to look at the blood of the deceased people, and found that their bones and blood had turned into gold.

They immediately suspected that it was a disaster caused by a falling star, and hurriedly moved the entire village away. After settling the villagers, the two men left with the falling star stones, saying that they wanted to find the cause and a solution.

About five or six years later, Cao Yun, who was so old that he looked unrecognizable, came back with a child in his arms and handed him over to his family to raise, saying only that the child was a descendant of Xu Maoling.

After settling the child, Cao Yun left the village again, saying before leaving that he had found a clue.

If he cannot come back this time, he will let the villagers move again and find a place with many trees to live in, which can slow down the discoloration of bones and blood.

"In such a huge Xifeng Village, some died, some scattered, and in the end only our group was left, hiding in the mountains and surviving for all these years." Xu Da smiled bitterly.

"The price of living in humiliation is that none of us can live past the age of knowing our destiny." Boss Cao added in a muffled voice, expressing the sadness of the past few hundred years.

Yu Hongdou was silent for a long time, then looked up at her father, only to see him winking at her.

She was stunned for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to realize that she had really been led into a ditch.

How can we guarantee that everything Xu Da said is true?

Hundreds of years have passed, and generation after generation of the people of Cigou Village have really never looked for it nearby?

And...she got that dagger by signing in at the "treasure place of bandit Guo Jinlong".

Could it be that the solution that the ancestor of the Cao family found was to find the place where the eldest brother buried the treasure?

Yu Sanlang pondered for a long time, then looked up and glanced at Xu Da and the Cao brothers.

"I don't know whether what you said is true or false. For the sake of my younger sister, brother-in-law and four nephews, I don't want to pursue it. I will tell you everything I know." Yu Sanlang's gaze finally fell on Xu Da's face.

He started with the story of the third son of the Tan family discovering a well in the ruins of the Goddess Temple on Wudai Mountain, and finding a secret room and a mural in the well, which led to the story of the treasure hidden by the favorite concubine of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the four brothers.

After the Zhixiang Sect was captured, it was revealed that the Zhixiang Sect was also looking for the treasure.

And what happened that day after they parted with the Cao brothers, they returned home and met Huang Jincheng, and that Huang Jincheng looked exactly like someone who was digging gourd stones on the mountain. They told Xu Da and the Cao brothers everything.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked yet, did you get anything out of that group of people? And how did you deal with those people? I now suspect that I have been targeted by the Huang family." Yu Sanlang just remembered to ask about the follow-up of the last time.

"Dig a hole and bury it. Third brother, did you really see the dagger under that gourd stone?" After Cao Lei replied to Yu Sanlang, he looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"Well, there's no need to hide this from you. I wanted to use the stone to make a trap, but I saw golden light after just two tries. I thought I had dug up gold at first, but it turned out to be a dagger."

"At that time, a young man in the village happened to be chased by a boar and ran towards me. I rushed over with a dagger in hand without thinking."

This set of words was the perfect excuse that Yu Sanlang came up with after he used a dagger to cut a hole in the wild boar's body. He said the same thing to the villagers when he came back that day. He said it several times, and sometimes he even doubted whether it was true.

"..." Boss Cao was silent for a moment, looked at Xu Da, then at Yu Sanlang, reached into his sleeves and fumbled around, and finally he actually took out a gold nugget and placed it on the table next to him.

"There are indeed gold nuggets under the gourd stone. They were dug out by those people that day. If my guess is correct, there should be a gold vein underneath." Boss Cao's move stunned both the father and daughter again.

Yu Sanlang exclaimed, "Ah!" and thought to himself that his precious daughter was so amazing. There really was a gold vein hidden underneath. Perhaps he, Yu Sanlang, would really be given an official position by his daughter.

Yu Hongdou also let out an "ah" and stared at the yellowish-brown gold nugget with black hues, feeling quite regretful.

Who would have thought that this gold vein was hidden so shallowly? If she had known this earlier, she would have dug it up first.

"So this gold vein is related to the ancestor of the Cao family?" Yu Hongdou looked at the head of the Cao family naively.

"I don't know. The reason why such a story was passed down in my family is because our ancestor Cao Yun had the habit of keeping records. There was a sentence in the formula of the elixir that could turn stone into gold. They studied it for a long time and recorded it very hastily, but it seems that they have found a clue."

Boss Cao shook his head honestly, picked up the lump of gold on the table, turned it in front of Yu Sanlang and Yu Hongdou, and pointed at the black spot on the gold nugget to show them.

"You see, generally speaking, earth gold is reddish-yellow in color and has a smooth surface, but the black color covering the earth gold looks a bit like it has been burned." Cao Lei said this, but he looked uncertain.

Yu Hongdou stared at the gold nugget with shining eyes. Not to mention that the black color on it did look a bit like the marks left after burning.

But the remaining modern education told her that it was just the membrane covering the bare gold when it was first unearthed.

"What do you want to do now? I don't recommend digging that gold vein. For various reasons, the areas around Taoyuan Village are now on the county magistrate's attention list." Yu Sanlang really didn't know what the Cao family and Xu Da wanted.

"We want to cooperate with Brother Yu." Xu Da saw that Yu Sanlang didn't like to beat around the bush, so he played his cards directly.

"?" Yu Sanlang looked at Xu Da in confusion. What could they cooperate on?

"I had a fortune-teller when I came here. Oh, I have some talent in this area. The fortune-teller showed that our trip would finally see the light after all the difficulties. After seeing the daughter of Brother Yu's family, I knew what the fortune-teller meant."

"The coincidence of the appearance of this dagger seems to tell us that as long as we stay with Brother Yu, the things we have been seeking for many years will automatically be delivered to us." Xu Da stroked his goatee and looked at Yu Sanlang confidently and mysteriously.

Then he looked at Yu Hongdou, who was leaning on Yu Sanlang's legs due to fatigue, and added meaningfully: "Brother Yu, in fact, this dagger was not picked up by you, but by your daughter, right?"

Yu Hongdou, who was secretly complaining about the harmful effects of superstition, suddenly shuddered.
