Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Chapter 73 "Time Bomb"

The more you know, the less you fear.

Han Li has basically confirmed that this is where the treasure of the traitor from Qinjia Village is hidden.

No wonder the old man reminded him to keep it secret, because if the news of this mysterious cave were leaked, it would really bring disaster.

I found the cave, but didn't see the traitor's treasure. Is this a lie?

This is just like when Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu called the Shaolin abbot to her side before she died, saying that she wanted to tell the abbot where Xie Xun and the Dragon Slaying Sword were.

In the end, Yin Susu talked a little and directly tricked the abbot, making it so difficult for the Shaolin abbot to explain himself clearly. The major sects all thought that the Shaolin abbot wanted to take the Dragon Slaying Sword for himself.

Never overestimate the kindness of human nature, and never underestimate the ugliness of human nature.

Since ancient times, money has been a motivating force for people. Once this unknown mysterious cave is revealed, Han Li’s good days will be over; even if he goes against his conscience and gives the old man away, he will still be the focus of attention.

By then, all kinds of people, openly or covertly, will pounce on you like vicious dogs, trying to get a piece of the pie.

After all, no one knows how much money that traitor in Qinjia Village has hidden?

But I heard that the traitor used to eat out every day and lived a very luxurious life. I am sure that he must have extorted a lot of money.

Even if there are only one or two small yellow croakers, it is worth the risk. You have to know that the ones who get this money are two soft persimmons. If not now, when?

In addition, the possibility that this cave is an armory is not high, because the old man must have searched this cave carefully a few years ago.

The reason why the old man was unwilling to reveal the cave to others was probably because he had experienced the crazy era of treasure hunting and was afraid of getting into trouble.

Probably because he thought Han Li was an honest and tight-lipped person, the old man was willing to tell him the secret that he had buried in his heart for several years.

Moreover, when Han Li entered the cave, he also had the intention of searching for treasure. He searched the walls of the cave thoroughly, but found no mechanisms or secret passages, nor any signs of human blockage. It looked like a completely natural cave.

Han Li put his hand into the vent and felt it carefully, then he mustered up the courage to give it a try.

Fearing that there might be a trap, he dodged to the side, stepped out with his left foot, ready to escape at any time, and then pressed hard on the leaking point with his right hand.

The next second, the pressed area did not move at all, and there was not even a sign of looseness.

He then tried several more times around the leak, but still no response.

At this moment, his stomach started to growl. Han Li thought that he was too hungry to have any strength. It was getting late, so he decided to think about it after returning home.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is too risky to have a tryst in this cave again. Let's find another safe place next time.

Just imagine, if someone accidentally discovers this cave in the future and the news spreads, the villagers will think that Doctor Han often appears in this area, and Han Li will naturally be regarded as a key suspect.

Not only that, he also had to remind Qin Huairu not to reveal the matter of the cave to anyone else.

As long as the three of them kept the secret, they would be safe.

In Han Li's view, this mysterious cave is a time bomb. As long as the news leaks out, many people will think that this is the treasure hidden by the traitor, and a new round of crazy treasure hunting will begin.

Although Han Li does not have a system, with his familiarity with the future direction of history, he can continue to study medicine and live a comfortable life in the future. There is no need to take risks for some treasures.

Afterwards, Han Li cleaned the cave carefully before leaving.

By the time I went out, it was already dark, but fortunately I could still see the way back clearly.

Han Li was relatively lucky and didn't meet anyone along the way. When he returned to Qin Jingru's house, he saw Qin Laoqi carrying a kerosene lamp and preparing to go out.

"Oh, Doctor Xiao Han, you're finally back. I was just planning to look for you."

In the afternoon, Doctor Xiao Han got drunk and didn't sleep for long. After waking up, he said he was going to collect herbs. Qin Laoqi didn't take it seriously at that time.

It was already dark and Doctor Xiao Han had not returned yet. Qin Laoqi became more and more worried and decided to call for help in looking for him.

"Qin, Uncle Qi, I'm sorry to have worried you." Han Li felt warm in his heart and explained embarrassedly, "There aren't many herbs nearby, so I walked a little further away."

"I'm glad you're back. You must be hungry, eat first."

"Okay." Han Li's legs were weak from hunger and he spoke weakly.

"Doctor Xiao Han, this rice has been sitting there for a while. It's just not too hot to eat now. I'll serve you another bowl to cool it down."

Such a thoughtful gesture was very heartwarming. Han Li smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Qi."

After that, Han Li didn't hesitate to show off. It was just as Aunt Qi said, the cornmeal porridge was not hot and was at just the right temperature.

Served with wild vegetables fried with lard, the whole bowl of rice was gone in no time.

Although the second bowl of rice brought by Aunt Qi was a little hot, it was a small matter in front of Han Li, a foodie, and it was finished in a few minutes.

Seeing this, Qin Laoqi and Aunt Qi looked at each other in surprise. After exchanging glances, Aunt Qi took away Han Li's empty bowl and got up to go to the kitchen.

Han Li was really hungry and was so busy eating that he didn't pay any attention to the little actions of Qin Laoqi and his wife.

After finishing the second bowl of cornmeal porridge, Han Li felt almost half full. After all, he didn't eat anything particularly filling today.

When you come to someone's house to eat, it's already very good to drink two bowls of food in a row. It's impolite to eat more.

As mentioned before, food is precious nowadays, and every household cooks according to the quota for each person; there is only so much rice, and if you eat one more bite, it means someone else will have to eat one less bite.

At this moment, Qin Jingru's mother brought another bowl of rice and greeted with a smile: "Doctor Xiao Han, I know you must be very hungry after collecting herbs, so I made more. Eat quickly, don't be polite."

"Aunt Qi, please sit down and eat."

"You eat first, don't worry about me. I'm very hungry after coming back from the fields, so I'll eat as soon as the meal is ready."

"Okay then." Han Li nodded suddenly and continued to eat.

In fact, how could he not see that this bowl of rice was Aunt Qi's dinner? However, if he exposed it on the spot, it would only make everyone embarrassed, so pretending to be confused was the right choice.

Furthermore, Han Li had other ideas in his mind.

"Uncle Qi, you should eat quickly. After dinner, please accompany me out for a while."

"Okay, no problem." Qin Laoqi thought that Doctor Xiao Han still needed to treat someone. He was afraid of the dark and didn't dare to walk at night, so he wanted to find someone to keep him company.

After finishing the third bowl of rice, Han Li felt full, about 80% full. He should be able to eat another bowl.

Then, Han Li took Qin Laoqi to the river.

"Doctor Xiao Han, there is a river ahead and no one is around. Are you going to Liangjia Village?"

Han Li did not answer, but kept it a secret: "Uncle Qi, you will know in a moment."

Soon, the two of them came to the river. Han Li found a rope and started pulling it up, thinking, "I was originally planning to nourish Qin Huairu, but now it seems that she doesn't need it at all. Instead, I really need it!"
