Chapter 20: The Mystery of the Vault


When my father said that the Hua family ancestral hall hid a golden mountain, I really had a lot of shock in my heart.And when he asked Uncle to bring me a purchase agreement, all I had left on my face was surprise.The purchase agreement in front of me was signed by my grandfather and a man named Chen Tai'an 60 years ago, and Mei Gongyu, the person in charge of a shop called Haishi, and there are still traces of re-agreement revision due to the adjustment of gold prices every year, and the two sides agreed to trade on the fifth day of September in the middle of summer every year to exchange the equivalent value of gold for five million banknotes.In addition, the father also said that half a month has passed in the agreement, and the people of the pawnshop have already taken the money, but the Hua family cannot take out the equivalent amount of gold, so the people of the sea market demand that it be done as soon as possible, otherwise the agreement will be declared invalid, and the Hua family will also bear part of the losses of the sea market.Seeing that it was clearly written in black and white, I finally believed in the existence of this wealth, and then the uncle brought me two gold coins with the words "Hua's Vault" printed on them.Seeing the workmanship of the gold coin, I also suddenly remembered the blank ghost card I got from the secret room under the ancestral hall, the casting process of the two is strikingly similar, which means that not only the treasure exists, but our Hua family also has a factory for minting gold coins.I looked at the gold coin and the written agreement, and finally stared at the big number and thought about it for a long time.The agreement was made 60 years ago, when it was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the state's control of gold had not yet been put on the agenda, so the trading price on the market fluctuated greatly, and as the market transactions slowly stabilized, the price of gold slowly balanced.These are all outside the box, let's just talk about the amount of this transaction, 5 million transactions per year, and 300 million in 60 years.The figure of 300 million is out of reach for me, a hard-working worker, in fact, not only me, but also only a handful of people in the country who can earn so much money.But then again, since they have been trading for so many years, my father should also know where the gold coins are stored, but the problem is here, my father and uncle don't know at all, and my grandfather didn't explain this matter to me, or did he already explain it to my old man, but I didn't find out that everyone in the world is wealth, I believe that there is no one in this world who is not greedy for money, not to mention a mountain of gold, such a large fortune is enough to create a big chaos, So I think it's normal that grandpa didn't tell my father about them, and the fewer people who know about this thing, the better.Originally, I thought that my father was secretly doing something hurtful, but now I finally understood what was going on, and at the same time, I remembered what my mother had said to me before she died, and I felt that my mother had become a bad person, and her words were completely provoking the relationship between our father and son.My mother has always been great in my mind, so now I feel a little depressed when I think about it, and it took about a few minutes for me to realize that it would be easier to distinguish between friend and foe if I had understood it in a different way.That golden mountain is left by the ancestor of the Hua family to future generations, according to common sense analysis, grandpa will definitely tell someone before he dies, and at this time, the mother said that the father is not the people she knows, does this mean that there are outsiders infiltrated into the Hua family, and the tragic death of the mother is not to see through the poisonous hands of these people?

I have no reason to trust my mother, let alone my father, everything has to be judged by myself, and in the end I have to bear all the responsibility for whether it is right or wrong.I didn't continue the topic of Jinshan, because I was afraid of getting into trouble, and after a while, I saw that my father's injuries were not serious, and then I changed the topic and asked about the poisoning of Wudaohe.In fact, before I asked, I could have known how my father would answer, and they would never admit that they had found someone to do it.During this period, I carefully observed the faces of everyone present, and found that they did not lie and look uneasy, so I think that the person who poisoned should be someone else, and this issue needs to be discussed separately with Wei Niang.And when I asked why the old house was crisscrossed by ravines, my father's statement was also well-founded, he said that in fact, repairing the old house was fake, and the arrangement of the insect-proof road was true, and he also said that in recent times, the old mansion of the Hua family can often see something similar to corpse insects, and my father was worried that Duan Gong was doing trouble, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they broke ground.As for why Grandpa's bedroom was demolished, my father's statement is that it is the source of the corpse worms, and most of the corpse worms crawled out of Grandpa's bedroom, but unfortunately my father and they couldn't find the source of the corpse worms after digging three feet into the ground, and they didn't even see a wormhole, so it was very strange.Wei Niang and I have learned a lot about corpse insects and corpse Gu, and naturally understand that corpse insects do not appear for no reason, either there are dead corpses in the old mansion of the Hua family, or there is an insect ancestor in the old mansion, that is, the corpse Gu king who can command corpse insects.I thought that I had a super corpse Gu king like Blood Aoi on my body, so I didn't need to be afraid of any bugs in the old mansion at all.Besides, the blood sunflower itself has a sense of self-defense, no matter whether it is the same kind or not, it will not let it go, if there is really a corpse Gu king in the old mansion, the blood sunflower will definitely find it as soon as possible and find it out.There have been so many things that have happened lately, and after I have sorted out my priorities a little bit, and made a list of what to do first and what to do next, I asked my uncles to take me to see the source of the corpse worms.When I came to the periphery of the demolished bedroom, the first thing I saw was that there was a lot of bone incense evenly placed in the ditch, because the bone incense can disperse most of the corpse insects, so there is no corpse insect existence on the ground now.At this time, the uncle also pointed out with his finger the place where the corpse insect was found at the beginning, and that location was exactly where the bed was placed in the grandfather's bedroom, and when I just stood still, I suddenly felt that there was movement in the blood sunflower hiding under my feet.Sensing the strange movement of the blood sunflower, I quickly looked down at the dirt, and shoveled it a few times with my own hands, but I found nothing.After a few more steps forward, I suddenly felt that the blood sunflower seemed to want to get out, and it was pushing towards my toes, and the amplitude of the movement became larger and larger, and in the end it was almost necessary to use the killer weapon.I was afraid that it would make my skin tense suddenly, so I followed the direction of its protrusion and walked a few more steps to the innermost corner of the bedroom bed.At that time, I was a bold idea, and I thought that if Xuekui really found out about the threat, he would definitely leave me to find the bug, so I took off my shoes at that time.But what I didn't expect was that the moment I took off my shoes, the blood sunflower suddenly came out from under my feet, but its tail didn't leave my feet at all, and even then its outer body length reached about two meters.Because the blood sunflower didn't leave me, I didn't dare to touch it, and at this time, the blood sunflower didn't dig into the soil to find it, but directly hit the remnant wall of the old house that had not collapsed.The appearance of the blood sunflower was not a surprise to me, but it frightened the uncle not far away, and the uncle screamed and crawled away.When a person sees an unknown thing, he generally does not have an overreaction at first, but is curious to observe and explore, and only when he clearly knows that the unknown thing is in danger will he be afraid and run away, so the uncle has definitely seen the blood sunflower, and he has seen a very terrifying scene.At that time, I didn't have time to pay attention to the uncle, all my thoughts were on the blood sunflower, and the blood sunflower at this time also hit the wall as if he was sick, and the black color of his body slowly turned bright red.I don't know if this thing has long eyes, but just watching it hit the wall with all its might, I was a little puzzled, and then I felt pity, completely forgetting that it almost killed me before.Blood Kui's big action proved that there was something wrong with this wall, and I kicked it with my other foot at that time, and after kicking a few feet, I found that this remnant wall was still as solid as a rock, and it could not be shaken at all, and it was no wonder that it was left alone when the old house was demolished.The old house is a building of the late Qing Dynasty, and even if it has been repaired several times later, the internal wall structure will definitely not change.With a hint of curiosity, I reached out and touched the wall, and suddenly I realized that the remnant wall was probably actually a square stone pillar buried deep in the earth, and the exposed part only outlined the illusion of a gray brick structure, no wonder I couldn't shake it before.Blood Aoi was still in a frenzy, and from time to time he even probed into the dirt, and it didn't take long for him to drill out again, and he repeated this several times, but he still refused to stop.I knew there was definitely something wrong with the square stone pillar, so I immediately found a pickaxe to dig around the remnant wall, and waited until I dug down more than a meter before the tip of the pickaxe touched something harder.After picking up the soil and looking at it, I found that the pickaxe was touching a stony plane, and I immediately had a guess in my head when I saw this."

Damn, this shouldn't be the roof of an underground building, is this the vault of the Hua family" Just by looking at the scale of the square stone pillars, you can guess how big this underground building is, if my expectation is correct, the entire old mansion of the Hua family is built on top of this underground building, maybe the area of this building is larger than the old mansion.This discovery is very important, so I don't need to tell my father about them, if the building under my feet is the Hua family's vault, then it will definitely cause a sensation once it sees the light.But even if I don't say it, my father will definitely find out when they look back, it's just a matter of time.And once they know about it, they will definitely look around for an entrance to the vault, and maybe even use a hole to open it.What they do is actually a trivial matter, and I am afraid that there is something else hidden in this vault besides the mountain of gold.At this time, the corpse worms have already appeared, and the blood sunflower is still in a manic state, so there must be something that makes the blood sunflower hostile.The thing that Blood Kwai was hostile to was nothing more than a Corpse Gu King, and things like the Corpse Gu King had always been parasitic on corpses.My father said before that when Gaozu brought Jinshan here, he also brought thousands of people and horses, and it was impossible for no one in the process of minting gold coins, and it was even more impossible without guards, so I guessed that the thousands of people brought by Gaozu should also be underground.In addition, Gaozu has special methods, what if these thousands of people are turned into old corpses by him and guarded in the vault, father, once the dog jumps over the wall and blows up the vault, it will inevitably release thousands of old corpses, and then the trouble will be big.i0t1706231537:
