Chapter 1014 Treasure (2)
Liu Jingxue looked at Mr. Zou pitifully, "Grandpa Zou, do you think I'm miserable?
Over the past two years, I have often gone to the mountains to look for treasures, hoping to find something to fill my pockets.
But once I looked, I found so many, so many that I didn't even dare to reach out.
I think there are tens of thousands of treasure chests in all the treasure hiding places, which is not something I can afford to steal."
She deliberately covered her chest and said painfully, “When I found the first treasure, I couldn’t sleep for several nights.
At first I was excited and felt that my efforts were rewarded.
But after realizing that these things are not something I can possess, I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep.
I felt like my money was flying out of my pocket.”
Liu Jingxue sighed and continued to act.
“I was going to give up my treasure hunt, but I figured, if I found the first one, there must be a second one.
If I find a smaller treasure trove, I can steal it without any psychological burden and fill my pockets.
But I didn’t expect that, I don’t know if my luck was too good or too bad, the treasures I found were so many that I couldn’t get my hands on them.”
“After finding several large treasure troves in succession, I thought clearly that maybe I was not destined to get rich unexpectedly, so I gave up.
After that, I never went to the mountains to look for treasure again."
Liu Jingxue had been acting for so long but hadn't received any response from the two people, and she felt a little strange.
These two people shouldn't have this attitude, they shouldn't be so calm.
Shouldn't they be very surprised and happy?
She looked up quickly, and what she saw was the two of them staring at her blankly with their eyes and mouths wide open.
Liu Jingxue was startled when she suddenly saw that she was being stared at by two people. She shouted out in haste.
"Grandpa Zou, Second Brother, did you hear what I said?"
"Grandpa Zou, second brother?"
Liu Jingxue's repeated shouts finally brought the two back to their senses from their shock.
Mr. Zou reached out and stroked his chest from top to bottom, trying to calm himself down. "No, I have to slow down."
Liu Jianjun picked his ears with his hands and said, "Maybe there is too much earwax in my ears, I am even having auditory hallucinations.
I just heard my little sister say that she found some treasures."
"I seem to have heard that, too." Zou Lao continued, "She also seemed to say that a mountain was hollowed out and filled with treasure chests.
I must be dreaming. How could such a fantastic thing happen? "
Liu Jingxue rubbed her forehead. Well, it’s not that these two people were not surprised or calm. They were just too shocked. Instead, they couldn’t believe what they heard and thought they were hallucinating.
"What you heard was real, not hallucination.
I really found a few treasure sites, all of them are large, and the treasure chests added together, I estimate there are tens of thousands of them." Liu Jingxue said straightforwardly.
After hearing Liu Jingxue's confirmation, Liu Jianjun blurted out a traditional Chinese saying, "Fuck."
Mr. Zou hurriedly asked, "Xiaoxue, how many treasures did you really find?"
“Are there really tens of thousands of boxes of treasure?
"Little sister, your box is not the size of a palm, right?" Liu Jianjun added.
Liu Jingxue rolled her eyes, thinking that Liu Jianjun was questioning her character.
“I really found several treasure troves, and there were tens of thousands of treasure chests.
As for the size of the box," she gestured in the air to indicate the size of the box.
"The boxes come in different sizes, but the smallest ones are about the size of a normal clothes box."
After getting confirmation from Liu Jingxue again, Mr. Zou felt a little dizzy.
He quickly reached out and pinched his philtrum to prevent himself from suffocating and collapsing.
As for Liu Jianjun, he kept muttering something, but his speed was too fast and his voice was too soft, so Liu Jingxue had no idea what he was muttering.
When Mr. Zou finally calmed down, he asked Liu Jingxue directly,
"Xiaoxue, you have been holding this in your heart for a long time, right?"
Liu Jingxue nodded, "It's been quite a long time."
"So tell us now, what are your thoughts?"
Liu Jingxue spread her hands and said, "Grandpa Zou, I've said before that there are too many things, I dare not take them privately.
But I don’t dare to hand it in now.”
She explained, “There are two reasons why I dare not turn it in.
First, the current situation outside, you all know it without me telling you.
If I report it, those antiques, calligraphy and paintings might be destroyed by someone.
There is also the possibility that some disloyal people might secretly keep the money or smuggle it overseas.”
"I worked so hard to find something, but I didn't dare to touch it myself, so someone destroyed it, or kept it or smuggled it. I can't understand it no matter how hard I think about it."
“Also, I’m worried that if I hand it in, people might think I must have hidden something in private.
God has mercy on me, I didn’t dare to reach out.”
“Yes, my motive for treasure hunting in the mountains was not pure, but I didn’t expect to find so much.
If it was just a tiny bit, I would have embezzled it, but if it was this much, I would never dare to embezzle it even if I was beaten to death."
Liu Jingxue looked at Mr. Zou and said, "Tell Grandpa Zou that you are going there to meet with the two leaders Xi and Liu.
Could you please help me figure out how to deal with this matter? After all, this is not a small amount of money.
And Grandpa Zou should also know my character, and you love me, so you won't be like other people who try to discredit me in secret."
"But I suggest that you don't bring those things out in the next few years," Liu Jingxue added.
After all, there are quite a few stolen items from the Japanese country inside.
Zou Lao nodded and said, “I will tell those two about this.
I will also give them your suggestions. "
"But Xiaoxue, are those treasure hiding places safe? Will they be discovered by others?"
Liu Jingxue was not worried about this at all. It would be fine if the treasure was hidden in the mountain. If she hadn't used her spiritual sense to penetrate the mountain and find the treasure, and searched carefully and found the mechanism, no one else would have discovered it at all.
As for the other places, although not as secret as that one, they were also hidden by formations she set up, so no one else could find them except her.
“Grandpa Zou, don’t worry. Several treasure hiding places are deep in the mountains and are difficult for outsiders to approach.
Plus, there are traps and hidden weapons everywhere. If I wasn’t so skilled and brave, I wouldn’t have discovered it.”
She patted her head and said, “The locations are all in my mind.
Without me leading the way, no one would have found it.”
Zou Lao nodded, "Okay, I understand this.
I'll tell them when I see them."
He glanced at the brother and sister and said, "Keep this to yourself and don't mention it to anyone again."
The brother and sister quickly nodded in agreement.
Mr. Zou smiled and looked at Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, you are really willing to hand over all these things?"
Liu Jingxue grabbed her clothes and said distressedly, "Grandpa Zou, please don't say this to hurt my feelings.
I really can't bear to do that.
But I can't bear to part with it, so much is more than I can bear."
She said with a bitter face, "I just wanted to make a little money, but this is obviously not money, it's a disaster."
Seeing Liu Jingxue's distressed expression, Liu Jianjun was speechless.
"Since you know this doesn't belong to you, why are you still feeling sad?
I just want to make a little money. From now on, my second brother's salary and funds will be sent to you so that you don't have to worry about money."
Liu Jingxue waved her hand and said, "This is your own money, you keep it. I don't need you to send it. I have money."
Liu Jianjun rolled his eyes. "Since you have money, why are you so greedy?"
“Being rich and being greedy for money are two different things, don’t confuse the two.
What's wrong with me being a little greedy? I'm not insatiable. I don't want things that don't belong to me.
People work hard, after all, for that little bit of money."
Hearing this, Mr. Zou laughed out loud, "Xiaoxue, what you said is quite reasonable.
Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. We are not ashamed as long as we don't covet ill-gotten gains."
"Don't worry, once you take out those treasures, you will definitely be rewarded.
Your wish to make a little fortune can still be realized."
Liu Jingxue deliberately said happily after hearing this, "That's fine.
It’s a reward from above, so it won’t get hot in my hands and I can sleep soundly.”
Mr. Zou waved his hand and said, "Then let's not delay any longer and continue on our journey."
