My wife is a bit of a sucker

Chapter 264: What is the purpose

The current atmosphere is very embarrassing, very embarrassing, as if the air has frozen at this moment.

"That's the way it is, and I hope you can help us, old man." Li Chen told the old man sitting in the upper seat all the ins and outs of the matter, and waited quietly for the old man to speak.

"You mean, those people are all looking for that batch of treasures again?" The old man looked at Li Chen with a half-smile, and looked at Li Chen inexplicably.

"Yes." Li Chen was actually looking for those treasures by himself, and if he didn't fight for steamed buns, even if he couldn't be included, he couldn't be snatched away by the person who coveted his identity!

The old man looked up and looked around, and finally lowered his head and sighed.

Suddenly raised his head and asked Li Chen a question that didn't matter.

"How long have you lived here?"

"About a few months." Not counting the days at home, the days at work and the odds and ends are still a few months.

"I've lived here for several months, and I haven't noticed anything strange about this house?" The old man took a sip of the tea beside him, and smiled at Li Chen with an inexplicable meaning.

"The house? What's so strange about this house?" Helen murmured after the old man, "Not to mention the many mosquitoes, the frequent fires, and the low ground. I definitely wouldn't build a room here."

Indeed, after Shuang'er took over the Tao family, Li Chen asked the master to look at the structure of the mansion, and it really didn't look like Feng Shui was very good.At first Li Chen thought this was Tao Qing's special hobby, preferring the quietness of the deep mountains, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

But it's really strange to be said that by the old man today.

"I've always been a person who always takes revenge. If the Tao family really moved those treasures, I would have wiped them out 50 years ago." The old man put down his teacup and sighed, "Tao Qing has a wicked heart but doesn't have the guts. After taking away the treasure, I only dare to put it under my own bed."

Li Chen remembered watching a TV series with Shuang'er a few days ago. The executive who ran away with money only dared to store all the embezzled money in his home, but he didn't dare to use a part of it. He just watched it every day.

When Shuang'er saw it, she still sneered, "Why does this person dare to take it but dare not use it? If it were me, if I couldn't use it, I wouldn't take it out."

Li Chen couldn't remember what he said to Shuang'er back then, but now a real case actually appeared.

After Tao Qing swept away the treasure, he returned to his own country and started from scratch. The Tao family was really supported by Tao Qing, perhaps with the help of Yu Mitsui, but it took only a few decades to gain a firm foothold.

To be honest, Tao Qing was also a remarkable person.

"Tao Qing looked at the treasure every day, but he didn't dare to use it. It's really pitiful." The old man sighed and looked into the distance.

Li Chen also raised his head to look over, the place the old man was looking at was a small mountain, and Tao's house was surrounded by mountains, all of them looked similar, Li Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

Thinking about it now, every time he saw Tao Qing, Tao Qing would sit in the old man's position in a daze, even if he was taking a nap, he would stay in this position, staring at the distance with his eyes closed.

After figuring this out, the rest is very easy to understand.

Tao Qing was a cowardly person, but he was also a ruthless person. Even if he didn't dare to do anything to those treasures, he would not let others covet them.Tao Qing was not at ease wherever such a huge treasure was placed, so he simply put it under his nose, staring at it every day, day after day, year after year.

There is a secret road leading to the back mountain at the back of the lobby, which is convenient for the old man to secretly go to the mountain to check the treasure at any time.

And the imitation of the box of gold coins that Li Chen found was probably the old man's reluctance.Obviously it was a treasure in his hands, but he didn't move a penny, just because of the fear in his heart.

"Thank you for the old man's guidance." Li Chen bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Even if you don't have me, you will find out sooner or later." The old man waved his hand, "Don't deceive the old man next time, I haven't had time to water the well-raised vegetable seedlings yet."

"..."

"It's done, you don't have to say anything to me anymore, I'll go back first, maybe I can catch up with watering the vegetable seedlings." The old man stood up tremblingly while supporting his crutches, and Uncle Wen immediately went over to help The old man went out.

When passing by Helen, the old man, who was trembling and unsteady, raised his crutch angrily, and patted Helen's back gently.

"I was wrong!" Helen shuddered, but most of them were actually frightened.

"Just know! Don't forget what I told you!" The old man snorted coldly, and left with Uncle Wen's support.

Helen watched the old man leave, stretched out her hands to rub her slapped back, and stared at Li Chen with hatred.

The old man's instruction was to put Helen on the throne...

"Pooh!"

Helen spat at Li Chen, and walked out in big strides, heading towards Sister Ke's yard.

Li Chen was spit inexplicably, what did he do?He is innocent!

He didn't agonize over Helen's matter for a long time, and he didn't understand the woman's face at all. Li Chen began to think about how to dig the mountain.

The treasure is not in the mountains, so don't you have to dig it out?No, no, the action of digging the mountain is too big, and it will be troublesome to be discovered.

Li Chen looked at the secret passage behind him again, and came up with an idea.

Since the old man was able to let the treasure go in through the secret passage, there should be an entrance.It's not that Li Chen has never entered the secret passage below, it's intricate, and it's not that there is only one road leading to the back mountain. If you rush in without a direction, you may get lost.

Getting lost in the dark and intricate secret passages is really hard to describe.

In the end, Li Chen still gathered people to go around the back mountain, but as expected, he found nothing. Apart from the very good air on the mountain, Li Chen had no other feelings.

It seems that we still have to start with the secret path.In fact, I also knew that since Tao Qing wanted to hide the treasure, he would not leave traces on it. Maybe in that secret passage, after unlocking a certain stone gate, there was a dark secret passage.

It's not that Li Chen couldn't understand Tao Qing's thoughts, but he still felt that it was very abnormal and a bit intrusive.

After a busy day on the mountain, it is now dusk, the sun is hanging on the top of the mountain, covering the seemingly ordinary back mountain bedding with a layer of golden brilliance.

After dinner, Li Chen took Sister Ke and Shuang'er down to the secret passage together. After learning from the previous experience, Li Chen brought a powerful flashlight this time, and the light was as good as daytime.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a big secret passage under Tao's house!" Sister Ke walked behind Li Chen, with a bit of surprise on her face.

Such a large secret passage must be expensive to build, Tao Qing probably spent a lot of money.

Shuang'er is leading the way. Shuang'er has been searching Tao Shuang'er's memory these days, trying to find clues.

"Here..." After walking for about ten minutes, Shuang'er suddenly stared at a fork and refused to leave.

Li Chen scratched his head and looked, isn't this the way Wen Wen walked last time?

"It's a bit strange." Shuang'er turned to look at Li Chen, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, "I want to go here."

"En." Li Chen walked over and held Shuang'er, and walked inside together with Shuang'er.

At the fork, someone made a big fork with red paint, as if marking something.

"It's lipstick." Sister Ke touched a line from the wall, and there were bright red marks on her fingertips. "It's wet underneath, so I can't tell the time, but it shouldn't be too long."

Behind the mark made with lipstick, there is a thin and small gap, which finally meanders out the trace of the door.

This is what they have been looking for, the door that hides the treasure, and behind it is the treasure that Tao Qing has hidden all his life.

"Is the treasure behind this?" Sister Ke's voice was still very cold, "We don't know what's inside, so don't open the door rashly now."

"I think so too, let's wait."

This lipstick was drawn by Wen Wen without accident, Li Chen was still curious at first, Wen Wen took this fork in the road last time, how could he not discover the secret behind this fork in the road.

But looking at this lipstick, Wen Wen not only discovered the secret here, but even marked it for the people who came later, making the entrance to know more obvious.

Wen Wen, what is your intention?
