1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

The sun shone on the ancient city of Beijing. Li Weiguo rode his brand new bicycle through the alleys near Nanluo Ancient Lane.

The wheels rolled over the cobblestone road, making a crisp sound.

Only after the distance exceeded one thousand meters from his home did Li Weiguo stop his bicycle, take a deep breath, and turn on the system's invincible detection radar function.

He had always been thinking about the treasure legend told by the old man, and really wanted to find out whether a prince really had buried all the family treasures under the rockery in the garden.

Li Weiguo pushed his bicycle with slow but steady steps, and all the scenes within a thousand meters appeared in his mind.

Along the way, he did detect some jars and pots of various sizes from the homes of nearby people.

But Li Weiguo knew that these were other people's treasures, and he would never do such a despicable thing as to take other people's property for himself for no reason.

But he took the ill-gotten gains of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady for granted, believing that they deserved it.

As for innocent people, he sticks to his bottom line and will never steal from them.

Li Weiguo continued to explore forward, and before he knew it, he came near the bell tower.

He clearly remembered the old man saying that Empress Dowager Cixi's eight carriages and treasures were hidden in a house nearby.

At this moment, his heart beat faster involuntarily as he wanted to verify the truth of this legend.

He pushed the bicycle and turned on the invincible detection radar for the second time.

The reason why it is not turned on all the time is because this invincible detection radar can only be used for twenty minutes each time, and each use consumes 10,000 experience points.

Li Weiguo knew very well that it must be used well and not wasted.

As he walked, he paid close attention to his surroundings, especially those places with trees.

Just because the old man said that there was a big locust tree in front of the house where the things were hidden.

So he moved closer to the house where there was a big locust tree.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Li Weiguo's forehead, but his eyes remained focused and firm.

Suddenly, he found a bright light buried in the soil in the southeast, and Li Weiguo was delighted.

He carefully observed the scene in his mind and realized that those things were buried very deep, probably more than thirty meters from the ground.

Through the detection radar, he could see that there was a well-like structure above where these things were buried, and there were several layers of protection, with one layer every ten meters.

Li Weiguo couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought, "If we want to dig the stuff out, it will be very hard. Not only do we have to find the hole accurately, but we also have to dig down layer by layer. It's a huge project."

But when he saw the reserves of these treasures, his eyes widened and his heart began to beat wildly.

Looking at the alluring light shining in the image in his mind, Li Weiguo was instantly moved.

He thought to himself: "No matter if this is the treasure hidden by Empress Dowager Cixi, if he sees it now, he will not let it go easily!"

If Li Weiguo didn't have the system, these treasures would definitely be buried deep in the ground like Prince Qing's treasures, and it is unknown how many years it would take for these things to be discovered.

Perhaps, they may also remain buried in the soil forever, for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years.

However, now that Li Weiguo has encountered them, he is destined to take these things into his pocket.

At this moment, he thought about it and put the treasures into his storage space.

After doing all this, Li Weiguo rode his bicycle, found a deserted place, and studied the treasures he had just collected!

These treasures were different from the last ones. Apart from a small portion of gold and silver jewelry, more than half of them were celebrity paintings and calligraphy, and books sealed with wax.

Only then did Li Weiguo realize that this was definitely not something that Empress Dowager Cixi had secretly hidden.

Empress Dowager Cixi would not cherish these things so much. It seems that these things were indeed hidden by someone on purpose. Maybe that person encountered some emergency, or... maybe...

Li Weiguo thought of many possibilities, but at the moment these things could only exist in the storage space.

Of course he knew that these treasures could not be shown to others easily, and he had to find a suitable time and method to make them play their due value.

Li Weiguo rested here for a while, then took out two big watermelons and the protein powder he had packed in the space and went home.

When he got home, Li Weiguo unloaded the two big watermelons from the bicycle, which shocked Grandma Li again.

"Weiguo, where did you get this big watermelon? By the way, did you buy your uncle Dahu's medicine?"

When Grandma Li saw Li Weiguo, she first asked about the big watermelon, and then she remembered the purpose of Li Weiguo's going out today.

"Grandma, you asked me so many questions at once, I don't know which one to answer first!"

Li Weiguo put his bicycle away while talking with a smile.

"Look at what you said. Of course, we should talk about the most important thing first. How about whether you can buy the medicine?" Grandma Li looked at Li Weiguo with hope in her eyes.

Although Li Quanzhen is a bastard, Dahu and his wife are sensible. She really hopes that Li Dahu's illness can be cured.

"Of course I did. The old doctor was about to leave, so I had to persuade him to prescribe the medicine for me!"

Li Weiguo deliberately made the matter sound difficult so that his family wouldn't become suspicious.

"Okay, okay, okay! If you can't, come back to the village later! Your uncle Dahu's illness is serious!"

Grandma Li made the decision without even thinking, and Li Weiguo had no choice but to agree.

Then, Li Weiguo began to tease Grandma Li: "Grandma, why don't you ask about the watermelon?"

Grandma Li glanced at him sideways and said, "Why are you asking? Since you've brought one home, I'll keep it for myself! Otherwise, bring one back for your Uncle Dahu when you return to the village!"

"Grandma, don't worry about it. I'll buy another one when I pass by! These two will be saved for my brothers!"

Only then did Grandma Li carry the two watermelons into the house and put them in the cupboard in the inner room.

This cupboard in the room has almost become my grandma’s treasure box. Everything we eat and use at home is in here. My grandma is used to living frugally, and this habit cannot be changed!

"Grandma, I won't eat at home. I'll just eat something on the way. I'm going back to Lijia Village!"

"Weiguo, why are you in such a hurry? Eat first and then leave!"

By the time Grandma Li ran out, Li Weiguo had already disappeared.

At the Yan family opposite, the third uncle Yan Bugui and the third aunt were leaning against the window watching the scene outside.

"Old Yan, did you see that? The guy across the street brings things home every few days. Where do you think he gets all that money?"

The third aunt had been keeping an eye on the Li family across the street for a long time. Today, Yan Bugui was at home, and when she saw this scene, she quickly called him over to watch it together.

Yan Bugui's shrewd little eyes turned again and again, and suddenly he recalled the money that the Jia family had lost.

He frowned, but felt that it was impossible. When the Jia family lost the money, the Li family and the Jia family had already fallen out. It was impossible for the Li family to steal things from the Jia family.

He looked in the direction of the Li family, thoughtfully...
