Chapter 159 Digging for Treasures
The two daughters, Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu, agreed very much and held a special "treasure hunt" on a rainy night.
Although Wu Xia is [-]% sure, it must be just a small "cellar" below, and it is impossible to reach the level of a "basement".
She is still very curious.
Wondering what's in that "cellar"?
I guess it won't be something valuable, right?
The "Chen Brothers" sold all the "ancestral property" including this "broken wooden house" to Liang Teng. If it was really valuable, the Chen family would definitely empty this "cellar" secretly first.
The Chen brothers actually didn't mention a word.
After the buyer discovered the "cellar", it would be meaningless for them to claim to "belong" to the Chen family.It is impossible for others to return them.
Who would let go of the windfall that was so hard to come by?
Wu Xia also analyzed the behavior of the "Chen brothers" according to common sense, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing good hidden in the "cellar" at all.
She never thought about it at all: Maybe the "Chen Brothers" themselves didn't know that there was such a "cellar"?
Although he did not hold out hope that anything valuable could be dug up from the ground, Wu Xia's strong interest remained undiminished.
It's an interest in unknown outcomes.
Yan Qianyu was obviously also interested.Because of the discovery of the "cellar", some twists and turns were added to the ordinary event of staying overnight in the mountains.An imaginative mind is always full of imagination.
What will be stored in the "cellar" of the people in the mountains?
Qian Yu made an analogy based on his own family experience, and felt that the biggest possibility was that there was a good wine hidden in the altar.
Yan Qianyu couldn't help but speculate a little whimsically: "You said, would you keep one or two thousand catties of Moutai in your collection? I heard from my dad that when he was a young man under 20 years old, Moutai A bottle of wine per catty sells for 1 yuan. How expensive is it now? A small bottle of half a catty sells for 500 yuan per bottle. Isn’t it sold for 1000 yuan per catty? There is 1 ton in the cellar For Moutai, the ancestors of the Chen family only needed to spend 2000 yuan to collect it. How much is 1 ton of Moutai worth now?"
Liang Teng is sensitive to wealth figures, so he calculated them immediately.He replied casually: "If there is really 1 ton of Moutai, it would be worth 200 million now."
Liang Teng and Wu Xia are now easily manipulating hundreds of millions of capital. To them, 200 million is just a small fight.Not particularly attractive.
Moreover, it has not been confirmed that the underground collection is really Moutai wine with a history of several decades.
However, for Yan Qianyu, the feeling was completely different.
What kind of luck is it to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a so-called "ancestral property" from someone in the mountains, but accidentally buy something worth more than 200 million hidden in the "cellar"?
Yan Qianyu didn't understand Liang Teng's terrifying gaze at all!Seriously underestimated Liang Teng's return on investment.
If he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and only reaped more than 200 million in the end, and the rate of return was several times higher, Liang Teng didn't think there was anything worth showing off at all.
The "small leaf red sandalwood" wooden house he fancy is said to be worth starting at 10 billion.He only needed to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to reap such terrifying profits, with profits exceeding 100 times!
Horror!
The three people in the room each held a "flashlight" in their hands, looking for a "rust flower needle" on the ground, with their eyes wide open, checking the ground inch by inch.
Of course, the three of them put on such a posture, and the first path to find was of course to follow the "direction" of the leak on the tile roof.
Now the rain has been falling, and the water leakage has not stopped.Originally, the rainwater began to diffuse when it reached the ground, but as the amount of rainwater increased, the flow direction became obvious.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia feel that the sign of flow to the master bedroom on the left is more obvious.
If the light in this room is illuminated by electric lights, it is estimated that it will be easier to observe clearly.
The wooden house is only more than 200 square meters. It will take some time at most to determine the water flow on the ground, and it is not difficult.After locking the position of the master bedroom, the three of them observed more carefully with an excited heart.
The master bedroom was next to the bulky old-style wardrobe. The feet of the cabinet, which were relatively dry, were now soaked with a few centimeters of damp.
Everyone tends to believe that the water flows here, and then seeps down, and no stagnant water is formed.
Is this closet pressed at the entrance of the "cellar"?
Looking at the bulky and heavy wardrobe, Liang Teng felt a little thumping in his heart.
Liang Teng felt: Wu Xia's strength is completely negligible, and it mainly depends on him and Yan Qianyu to move this big wardrobe.I don't know how many kilograms it weighs?
In addition, Liang Teng has another worry: Yan Qianyu's superb martial arts skills are mainly reflected in her fighting skills and lightness.Her own strength may not be as strong as Liang Teng's.
The two daughters Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu didn't have as many worries as Liang Teng, and they both looked "eager to try".
Liang Teng had no choice but to grit his teeth and obey the second daughter's wishes.
Everyone worked together to move the wardrobe.
Fortunately, Chen Yongbin used to live in this master bedroom.Three years ago, after his new home in "Shenying New Village" was built, Yongbin chose to move to his new home.He also emptied the inner wardrobe of the master bedroom in the old house.
Otherwise, if the wardrobe is full of things now, it will be even heavier and difficult to move.
Almost exhausted the strength to eat milk (anyway, Liang Teng feels this way).The wooden cabinet was gradually moved away from its original position bit by bit.
Liang Teng felt that his "strength of nine oxen and two tigers" had been tapped.
Carry forward the spirit of "making fun while suffering".He couldn't help but push himself hard while cheering himself up in his heart: the wood used in this wardrobe is obviously the same as the material used to build the house.The heavier it is, the more valuable it is.Others can't find such a heavy "small leaf red sandalwood" furniture!Even if you find it by chance, you have no money to buy it.I just picked up so many top-quality wood for nothing, so there is nothing to complain about!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I feel energetic again.
While working mechanically to cooperate with the second daughter to move the wardrobe, at the same time, I began to worry about the "Shenying Mountain", which itself has frequent geological disasters. Will there be "debris flow" tomorrow due to the torrential rain this night? "What about road closures?
If it's really that unlucky, Liang Teng has already asked Yan Qianyu to contact the driver, and he personally asked Chen Yongbin to contact his daughter to lend the "Balong Heavy Truck", obviously it is impossible to drive to the top of this mountain?
Not to mention those bulky heavy trucks, even the professional house demolition team that Liang Teng asked Wu Xia to contact would probably not be able to make it to this mountain.
All plans are postponed indefinitely.That's the real downfall.
Liang Teng could only bless him secretly in his heart: the worst situation mentioned above must never happen!
Wu Xia didn't know what Liang Teng was thinking about right now?If you know it, you must make a complaint: When a natural disaster strikes, the brain will immediately become stupid!
After the wardrobe was moved with difficulty, the floor was paved with very old moisture-proof blue bricks.
From Liang Teng's point of view, he really didn't see anything unusual.
Looking horizontally and vertically, he saw that it was a pretty ordinary ground.
Didn't this old wooden house have a "cellar" dug at all?Or there is, but the location is not here?
In terms of search ability, Liang Teng is actually not as good as Yan Qianyu.After all, Qian Yu wanted to be an excellent bodyguard, and he had received professional training in this area.
In Liang Teng's eyes, the blue brick floor was plain, but Yan Qianyu could see several clumsy camouflages at a glance.
She went to find a shovel, counting from the fifth green brick by the wall, shoveled in with the shovel, and pried up two green bricks with force.
Then, from here, the green bricks were dug up one by one.
About three square meters of green bricks were dug, and then continued to dig the soil that looked like solid soil.
After digging to a thickness of 15 centimeters, a copper door with copper rust was exposed.It's just that the copper door is laid flat instead of erected; it's also not as big as a normal door.It is square in shape, a 60 cm by 60 cm square.
Seeing such a bronze door suddenly buried in the ground, Liang Teng and Wu Xia immediately became excited.
Obviously, there is something hidden under the ground.
The possibility of a "basement" was basically ruled out.After all, the basement needs to be connected to a staircase leading to the bottom from the "entrance".It is not possible to make such a narrow entrance.
It is only 60 centimeters square, and older children are a little timid to enter.It is more difficult for adults to get in.If you are a fat man, there is basically no play.
As for the "cellar", it doesn't quite look like that either.
It feels like a relatively deep "big pit" has been dug under the ground to store some relatively hard things.
This ruled out the possibility of containing a large pile of Moutai.
Yan Qianyu felt a little pity.But Liang Teng and Wu Xia didn't think much of the "famous wine worth 200 million yuan" from the very beginning, so they seemed indifferent.
On the right side of this small square copper door, there is a door handle welded on it.
Obviously, it is a "flip-top" copper door.
There is also an ancient long lock on the copper door.
Yan Qianyu thought for a while, this wooden house is now owned by Liang Teng, and a little damage now is not considered theft.So he stretched out his hand to hold the long lock and twisted it hard.The long locks were directly twisted out of shape.
After twisting off the long lock, Yan Qianyu casually threw it aside.
Liang Teng was secretly surprised: This little girl's hands are so strong!
When the three of them worked together to move the wardrobe before, Liang Teng thought he was the main force doing his part.Only now did I realize that Yan Qianyu was the one who contributed the most.
Yan Qianyu unlocked it, and then, without hesitation, reached out and grabbed the doorknob. With his legs spread apart, he stood firmly, and exerted strength from his waist, and steadily opened the bronze door.
The copper door is open, and there are no stairs or the kind of "hanging ladder" that does not take up space.Instead, a layer of fine sand was spread, as if to cover the true face of Mount Lu of the hidden objects.
At this point, it can be completely ruled out that the bottom is a "basement" or "cellar".
This is just an existence similar to a "safe".
Chen's ancestors used it to collect valuables.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia guessed: The Chen brothers probably didn't know there was such a "secret treasure".Otherwise, the "ancestral property" was packaged and transferred to Liang Teng. The two brothers must vacate and move the things hidden under the wooden house first.
After working for a long time, the "basement" in Liang Teng's imagination and the "cellar" in Wu Xia's imagination turned into a small "safe".
The huge gap did not disappoint Liang Teng and Wu Xia.
Instead, there is a sense of anticipation.
Any idiot can think of it: If it wasn't something particularly valuable, would the ancestors of the Chen family need such a secret artificial "safe"?
The things hidden inside must be treasures of the Chen family.
It's hard to say whether they can catch Wu Xia and Liang Teng's eyes.After all, these two have great fortunes, and their vision has also increased.
Yan Qianyu continued to shovel into the sand with a shovel, only to find that it hit something hard and made a "clank" sound.
It can be determined from the sound that there are metal objects under the thin layer of sand.
Soon, the sand was pulled out.It revealed the golden metal bricks hidden underneath, half the size of ordinary fire bricks.
Yan Qianyu was a little dry-mouthed, and murmured, "Isn't this a 'golden brick' with a deep pit buried?"
Wu Xia discerned for a while: "No matter how I look at these, they all look like real gold. It is probably real. Among the metals, only brass is a bit similar to gold in color. But you can still see the difference after careful identification... What do you say?" , how deep are the gold bricks buried here?"
Liang Teng made a professional analysis: "If they were genuine gold bricks, the artificially dug pit would not be too deep. The density of gold is ridiculously high. A cubic centimeter of gold weighs almost 20 grams. In other words , 1 cubic meter of gold weighs 19.26 tons. Even if it is an integer of 19 tons, if the pit is really more than 1 meter and 2 meters deep, and then multiplied by the width and length of 0.6 meters, then its weight will be between 10 tons and 25 meters. Between 1 tons... It is small in size, but it needs a 'heavy truck' to move it! So, do you think it is possible? There is only about [-] cubic meter of gold buried in this pit?"
Wu Xia pouted.He shook his head again.
She used to only know that gold is "hard currency" and valuable.But who would deliberately know the weight of gold per cubic meter.After listening to Liang Teng's calculations, she suddenly realized: So one cubic meter of gold is so heavy!
Heavier than people imagine.
Yan Qianyu expressed his thoughts quite honestly: "The ancestors of the Chen family may not be able to move more than ten to twenty tons of gold. If dozens of tons of gold are melted into a whole, of course it takes Only a crane can lift it away. But isn’t it made into palm-sized gold bricks one by one? Breaking them into pieces, it is still possible to move such a batch of gold bricks slowly.”
Liang Teng was "choked".
I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with what she said.
But is it possible?
The ancestors of an ordinary mountain family buried more than ten or twenty tons of gold under the ground of their dilapidated house?
It is simply "Arabian Nights"!
Liang Teng couldn't help but calculate an account with her: "Have you understood the current market price of gold? The price of gold in China is about 200 yuan per gram. The weight of 1 ton is equal to 1000 kilograms. According to this price, The price of one ton of gold is equivalent to 2 million domestic currency... If the pit we found contained 25 tons of gold, it would be 50 billion yuan! Do you think it is possible? A dilapidated house hides 50 billion yuan?"
After hearing this account, not only Yan Qianyu, but even Wu Xia found it incredible.
Even if the ancestors of the Chen family were the thieves of the century who ransacked dozens of cash vans, it was impossible for them to gather such appalling wealth! ! !
Liang Teng was the only one, so he was sure that the "ancestor of the Chen family" had owned huge wealth.
Needless to say, the whole wooden house is built with "small-leaf red sandalwood". It is said that its real value is more than 10 billion.
Assuming that the ancestor of the Chen family actually knew the value of "small leaf red sandalwood", then he used his own "channel" to accumulate wealth by selling "small leaf red sandalwood" furniture in that era of "war and chaos".Then, it is not surprising that he has hundreds of millions of cash!
Since the ancestors of the Chen family made their fortunes in the era of "wars and horses and turmoil", there is of course a sense of crisis that "cash money" is too easy to depreciate.Therefore, most of the huge wealth earned was bought in "gold" to preserve it.This is also a good way to avoid disaster.
The more Liang Teng thought about it, the more possible it became.
In fact, Liang Teng guessed right.
Many years ago, the ancestors of the Chen family also discovered that there were so many "small-leaved red sandalwood" trees in this "Shenying Mountain", so they built the village here.
In that era of "war and chaos", he sold a large amount of expensive furniture made of "rosewood", harvested amazing wealth, and bought gold bricks for collection.
However, at that time, the market for expensive red sandalwood furniture was relatively stable. The ancestors of the Chen family had several tons of "red sandalwood" that had not had time to be made into furniture for sale. If they continued to be put on the market, the market would have temporarily become saturated.
In the short term, the price must be doubled to sell the rest of the red sandalwood furniture, which is not what the ancestors of the Chen family were willing to do.
The ancestor simply made a wooden house from the remaining tons of "rosewood" for his own living.
In order to prevent people who know the goods from seeing that it is a house built with "small leaf red sandalwood", he also painted all the building wood with gray paint from the beginning to the end.Many people didn't realize that the house was full of top-quality wood just because they couldn't see the wood texture of the wooden house.
The ancestors of the Chen family can be regarded as replacing their descendants, leaving an extremely high-quality legacy.
After the era of "being blamed at every turn", future generations own these tons of "small-leaf red sandalwood" and the pit-filled gold bricks that can be directly used as money, and they will have the re-emerging "startup capital".
pity!The ancestors of the Chen family were also "people are not as good as heaven"!
He hid in the deep mountains and old forests during the war years of "wars and chaos", and entered the new era unscathed.
However, there were another ten years of the era of "being blamed at every turn", and the ancestors of the Chen family were no longer favored by the goddess of luck.He died directly in that era.
And he has one biggest regret.
The last few years of his life were spent in prison.He didn't even have the opportunity to tell his descendants the secret of the amazing wealth hidden in his family, so he died forever.
As a result, the descendants of the Chen family have been impoverished.
Has been living in poverty, through the entire "reform" era.It wasn't until Chen Yongbin met Liang Teng, a "big nobleman", and bought the "ancestral property" under the name of the Chen brothers, that Chen Yongbin and his brother felt that they were going to truly get rich.
Of course, Liang Teng couldn't know the inside story in detail - why did the ancestors of the Chen family bury their astonishing wealth in this deep mountain and old forest.
But Liang Teng vaguely had a guess: the ancestors of the Chen family probably knew the value of "Small Leaf Red Sandalwood".
Otherwise, it is impossible to paint all the wood grains of the wood used to build the house, so that people cannot see the real value of these woods.
In fact, before Liang Teng, some people had long been puzzled by the way the wooden house was painted.It's just that I didn't think about it and didn't go into it.
Among those who "missed" the huge wealth, there are several descendants of the Chen family.
Now, everything is cheaper for Liang Teng.
Liang Teng did not expect that the gold hidden in the pit could reach a terrifying figure of 1 cubic meter.
Nearly 20 tons of gold, everyone with a little bit of historical knowledge knows that when a certain bald man was defeated, only a few dozen tons of gold were transported away.
That was collected by the whole country.
Considering the capabilities of the Chen family ancestors, it is unbelievable that the gold hidden in this pit could be worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
So Liang Teng concluded that the "pit" where the gold was buried would not be too deep.
Having said that, let alone the value of the gold in the "pit" is several hundred million, even if it is only worth tens of millions, Liang Teng is very satisfied.
After all, a "red sandalwood house" is said to be worth more than 10 billion.But isn't that a "legend"? Someone needs to be willing to pay the 10 billion.
In a word, it is not easy to "cash out" top-grade wood.
Even if the "Red Sandalwood House" is only cashed out for a few hundred million, it will only be possible if there is a very ideal seller.
But this gold is different.The reputation of the so-called "hard currency" is not an exaggeration at all.
As long as you follow the market price, when do you want to convert gold into cash, it is not difficult at all.
Therefore, if Liang Teng can really take out hundreds of millions worth of gold in that "pit", that is the real hundreds of millions in his hands.Without an iota of moisture.
Now, the problem that Liang Teng began to worry about is nothing else, but how to "unbeknownst to God, unaware of ghosts", without the world's awareness (mainly without letting the Chen family know), how to transfer such a large amount of Gold moves out.
Moved to the "King's Mansion" in the "Open City".
This is obviously a tricky question.
Gold is not like those disguised "small-leaf red sandalwood". Even if you call a group of people to demolish the house professionally, you don't have to worry about someone discovering the secrets of top-grade wood.
But gold is different.Eye-catching.
If they were to be seen by the workers who demolished the house, they would probably "induce... people to commit a crime". They simply didn't bother to do the business of demolishing houses, and their minds were full of how to steal one or two gold bricks. All have nothing to worry about.
What else is there to do?
Liang Teng even thought of it: Put the gold in a bag to avoid attracting people's eyes.But where to find so many bags at the scene?
For a while, Liang Teng really couldn't think of a good way to disguise himself.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Wu Xia, who was well-informed and active in thinking.
Hearing him ask such a question, Wu Xia also fell into deep thought.
