Chapter 155: Digging for treasure
Let’s talk about the sale.
The goods from the clothing factory were delivered. After Gu Jiu arranged for three tricycles to divide the goods and leave, he went to his trading shop on another street.
The address of his newly opened trading store is at the corner of Cinema Street and Qiyi Road. It is in a good location and has exclusive passenger flow from both streets.
During this period, manufacturers have been operating in the provincial capital, and all products are available. The products of these manufacturers in the provincial capital alone are still too few, but fortunately, they involve all aspects of life, and combined they can barely open a store.
For example, for drinks, currently there are only beer provided by one brewery in the provincial capital, soda and soy milk provided by the beverage factory in the provincial capital, and bottled wine and bulk wine provided by two liquor factories in the provincial capital.
Manufacturers in the provincial capital supply the county. Now it can be said that the county has more types of goods than he does here.
But fortunately, he contacted the manufacturers in the city two days ago and asked them to help deliver the goods. When the goods arrive, the variety of goods in the trading house will increase.
The trading house hired three people to sell in the store and two people to manage the warehouse. During this period at the end of the year, many people came to him to wholesale goods, which was considered the bulk of the trading house's profits.
When Lin Shu came to find him, Gu Jiu was checking the accounts in the store.
"Brother Ninth, sister-in-law is here!"
As soon as Lin Shu walked to the door of the store, a clerk spotted her.
Gu Jiu raised his head from the account book, quickly put it down and stood up to help her come in and sit down, "Why did you run out in such a cold weather?"
And riding a bicycle alone? Come here, you are so brave.
Lin Shu saw his dark face and immediately showed weakness and looked at him pitifully, "You are not at home. Staying at home is boring."
What she said was the truth. Apart from her family, she had no friends outside the provincial capital. Thinking of this, Gu Jiu lost his temper and rubbed her hair.
"Next time if you want to come out, tell me in advance, I’ll go back to pick you up.”
Lin Shu. His eyes lit up, "We agreed, you're not allowed to go back on your word."
Gu Jiu chuckled: "You're not going to go back on your word."
"Are you done?" Lin Shu picked up the account book and casually said I looked through it again and finally took a look at the final income and expenditure amount.
"You're done, where do you want to go?"
Gu Jiu collected the account books and handed them to the store manager. This store manager was also Gu Jiu's former high school classmate. His surname was Li, and his last name was Qing.
I just returned to the city from the countryside. After waiting for two months, I still had no work arrangement, so I was asked by Gu Jiu to help in the store.
“I want you to take me to those two dilapidated houses.”
“Now?”
Gu Jiu frowned. The house was rumored to be evil. Normally he wouldn't be afraid, but now Lin Shu
looking at Lin Shu's belly, he was a little worried.
Lin Shu naturally understood his concerns, stood up and dragged him out, "Oh, it's okay, let's go."
Gu Jiunai couldn't do anything to her, so he had to obey her, Follow him and walk outside the store.
The two of them rode bicycles against the wind and finally reached the dilapidated house.
Gu Jiu didn't know why Lin Shu came to this shabby house, but he instinctively wanted to take her to a house next door where people could live.
But Lin Shu wanted to go to the most dilapidated house.
"What's so good about this shabby house?" Gu Jiu parked his bicycle and stood in front of the shabby house, asking in confusion.
Lin Shu took out the key and motioned for him to open the door.
Gu Jiu took the key and opened the courtyard door. The grass in the courtyard was withered and yellow, and it was desolate to the eye.
If there are two crows, it may be more suitable for the occasion.
Lin Shu pushed the bicycle into the yard. When Gu Jiu saw this, he also pushed the bicycle in.
"Close the courtyard door."
Gu Jiu did as he was told.
After the courtyard door was closed, Lin Shu smiled mysteriously and waved for him to enter the house together.
Gu Jiu joked: "What good things did you find here?"
Lin Shu looked back at him and smiled, "How do you know?"
"You really found it. Good thing?" Gu Jiu was a little surprised since he guessed it right.
"Actually, when we first bought this house, I discovered it when you went to Guangdong Province, but I was just not sure what was inside."
Lin Shu stroked the bulge Belly, "Maybe it's because others say that one pregnancy is stupid for three years. So many days have passed, and I almost forgot about it."
No, I brought him here as soon as I remembered.
Take him to the back room of the main house. The light inside is not good. "In the northwest corner, go and see if there is a cellar?"
Gu Jiu heard this. Excited, he carefully walked in. When he touched the corner and confirmed that there was a large stone slab on the ground in this corner, he was about to turn around and talk to Lin Shu.
Only found that Lin Shu had gotten a pickaxe from somewhere and a flashlight in his hand.
"I put it here last time." Lin Shu may have seen his doubts, so he explained.
"Oh."
Gu Jiu took the pickaxe and knocked on the stone slab. The sound coming from the stone slab was a bit dull, "It's possible that it's empty down there."
Lin Shu Using a flashlight: "Can this slate be pried open?"
"I'll try, you stand farther away." Gu Jiu put up his posture, waved the pickaxe, and slowly dug out the soil on the edge of the slate. open.
The ground was dug a palm deep and I saw the situation under the stone slab. There was also a layer of blue bricks under the stone slab.
Gu Jiu tapped the green bricks with an iron pick, "These green bricks may be used to build this hole. Let me pry it to see if I can move the stone slab."
Iron picks are useful for digging stone slabs. Use iron The curvature of the pickaxe makes it easy to pry.
But since it is close to the wall, it is difficult to use force.
Seeing this, Lin Shu inserted the flashlight into the hole in the broken wall next to him, "Wait a minute, I'll go out and pick up a few rocks."
Walked quickly to the yard. , picked up two stones of different sizes in the corner of the wall, and then entered the back room.
Gu Jiu pried up the slate with force, and Lin Shu hurriedly stuffed small stones into the gap to make the gap between the slate and the ground larger, making it easier to pry next time.
When Gu Jiu took out the pickaxe and found another place to pry it up, Lin Shu stuffed another larger stone in.
Two stones were stuffed in, and a large gap appeared in the stone slab. I used a flashlight to shine inside.
A square hole appeared in front of the two people. As for how deep the hole was, it was not clear from the gap.
Gu Jiu knocked some of the stone in, and the gap became larger.
Lin Shu found a piece of wood as thick as his wrist from another room, picked it up and ran back to the room, "Gu Jiu, what do you think I found?"
"With this piece of wood, I will put it together with you." The stone slab was pried open."
Gu Jiu didn't agree immediately, but looked at her belly, a little worried, "Will you stretch your belly if you use too much force?"
Lin Shu never felt how delicate she was when she was pregnant. Doing odd jobs here and there to earn money to support myself.
It’s a big deal to pry off the stone slab with a little force.
"It's okay. I used to do farm work at home and was used to exerting my strength. There are many women in the countryside who carry heavy burdens."
Gu Jiu, "."
Looking for this What can a fierce daughter-in-law say?
But I have to remind you, "Okay, take your time later, don't use too much force, be careful of stretching."
Lin Shu held the wood in his hand and got into a posture, "Okay, You lift the stone slab a little higher and let me squeeze this half of the wood in. "You asked the original owner of this house to get such a heavy stone slab to cover the entrance of the cellar. Let’s not talk about safety, but just talk about the convenience of entering the cellar every time?
And the stone slab and the ground are so tightly connected, do they have no intention of opening it again after putting it on once?
Gu Jiu used force to pry open the stone slab enough for Lin Shu to stuff the wood into it, and waited for her to stuff the wood in.
He pulled out the pickaxe again, found another point of strength in parallel, and worked with Lin Shu to pry the stone slab together.
If the stone slab is slightly raised to a certain height, it will be much easier to pry it.
The couple worked together and quickly erected the stone slab so that it rested against the opposite wall.
“Huh! I finally opened this slate.” Lin Shu looked at the quality of the slate, “No wonder the slate is so heavy. It is made of fine bluestone. If you carve words on it, it is of high quality. Tombstone.”
Gu Jiu was speechless.
You still say this in this dilapidated house where there are rumors of evil. Now facing this dark hole, you suddenly feel a gloomy energy coming up.
Lin Shu didn't feel this way, so he held a flashlight and shined into the cave, "This cellar is not big, only about eight or nine square meters. Hey! Gu Jiu, look at the some things in the corner. Thing, what do you mean? ”
Gu Jiu took out a lighter from his pocket and put it into the hole to light it. "Fortunately, the fire is not out. Let it be ventilated and I'll go down and have a look."
Not to mention how much valuable stuff is in this cellar. To put it simply, the two of them were still very excited, feeling like they were exploring and digging for treasure.
While waiting for the cellar to be ventilated, Lin Shu asked: "The original owner of this house was considered a wealthy family in the provincial capital. Do you think there are any yellow croakers in the pile of things in the cellar? ?”
< br>Gu Jiu looked at her funny, "Do you like that thing?"
"Who doesn't like golden things? If you can save some money, I can be your son's wife in the future."
>
Lin Shu thought of the good boy in his previous life. When he first left school, he had a classmate he liked and they had a good relationship.
After leaving school and entering society, the girl’s parents did not agree because her family’s conditions were so poor at the time, and the two eventually parted ways.
Later, Hao Daer worked hard to start a business and made money. Gradually, the family conditions improved, and Hao Daer only found a girl to get married when he was nearly thirty.
In this life, I have a complete home that can give my children a complete home. She hopes that in the future, her children will never have to miss out on a marriage due to financial conditions.
Not being able to love is too painful.
She didn't want the child in her belly to suffer the same pain as a grown-up child.
Gu Jiu glanced at her big belly and chuckled: "Don't worry, even if there are no yellow croakers here, my children will not worry about having no money to marry a wife in the future."
Lin Shu looked He looked confident and smiled without retorting. This was exactly what she expected.
"It should be fine. I'll go down and take a look. You stand outside and be careful." Gu Jiu took the flashlight from Lin Shu's hand and walked down the hole.
Three or four steps were dug into the cave wall with a relatively large span. Gu Jiu jumped directly on the last step.
After waiting, Gu Jiu cautiously lit the lighter again. The small flame did not go out and the air inside was normal.
He then put away the lighter and walked to the pile of debris.
In fact, there are several wooden boxes placed against the corner, and two of the boxes have two or three porcelains placed on them.
Since this hole has not been opened for many years, the wooden boxes and porcelain are covered with a thick layer of dust.
Gu Jiu picked up the porcelain on the box and looked at it. He didn't see anything interesting, so he put the porcelain on the ground aside.
Then open the box at the end. Inside is a wooden stick wrapped in red paper.
Hey, that’s not right!
Gu Jiu didn't pick it up gently. The weight was wrong and he tore off a bit of paper at the top. Inside was silver-gray metal.
At this time, a thought flashed through Gu Jiu's mind, that is, silver coins.
In the past, silver coins were wrapped in red paper like a red cylinder.
And a cylinder is about fifty silver dollars.
Pull out a silver dollar, see the human head on it, and confirm that it is a silver dollar.
"Shu Shu, the first box contains silver coins, I don't know how much it is."
Hiss!
Lin Shu took a breath of air, "How much does a silver dollar cost now?"
"About five or six yuan a piece." Gu Jiu replied casually.
"That can be exchanged for a lot of money. What's in the other box?"
Lin Shu just estimated the value and never thought about actually exchanging it for money now.
"Let me take a look." Although Gu Jiu said he didn't care whether the things inside were valuable, the reality was that his face turned red with excitement.
The second box opened, "Yeah, it's silver dollars again."
Gu Jiu thought that the third box contained silver coins again, but when he opened it, it was all yellow and slightly reflective under the flashlight.
The gold that has been placed in this dark and humid place for many years is not as dazzling as the gold was at the beginning.
"Shu Shu, it's coming!"
"The third box is yellow croaker?" Lin Shu was excited.
"Yes." Gu Jiu picked up a piece of yellow croaker and took it heavily.
This feeling is gone.
The last box is opened and there are some book boxes inside.
“Honey, we have to get these things back, we can’t put them here.”
This place is going to be demolished and rebuilt next year, so it’s not safe to put it here.
I was still worried about the funds to build the building. With these, what do I have to worry about?
Lin Shu: "It will be a little later, and I will pull it on a tricycle."
Gu Jiu frowned slightly. He must not let his family know about this windfall. It is convenient to transport a tricycle, but where to put it?
"Where do you think we will store these things? If we store them at home, we will definitely let them know if there are many people in the family when we are moving them."
"Except for that villa, Do you really have no other properties in the provincial capital?" Lin Shu asked.
Gu Jiu climbed up to the entrance of the cave and shook his head helplessly: "No, you know that although my family's conditions are good, but there are many children at home, how can my parents have any extra money to buy a house for us?"
Lin Shu nodded, "If you don't have any external wealth and just rely on salary, it will take a lot of effort to raise you two. It is really difficult to save money to buy you a house."
Besides, the person in front of her In the past, I was carefree. Even in my twenties, I still relied on my parents’ salary to support me.
After more than 20 years of old age, where can my parents save money?
Gu Jiu jumped up, looked at the hole below and asked: "The question before us now is what to do with these things?"
If it's okay in the county, we can hide it At home.
Even if they wanted to move these things back to the county, it would be difficult to move them if they had too many things, and it would be even more unsafe to check them in.
Lin Shu rolled his eyes, "I have an idea, but do you believe me?"
Gu Jiu was slightly startled, "You are my wife, so of course I believe you. "
"Since you believe me, then stand in the yard now and leave this place to me."
Looking at each other, Gu Jiu did not dare to waste a moment, turned around and walked out of the house.
He was afraid that he couldn't help but ask questions that he shouldn't have.
After waiting in the yard for more than ten minutes, Lin Shu walked out with a smile, "Let's go back."
Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu blankly.
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: "If you believe me, don't ask, just go."
