Chapter 306 Fetching the Treasure

The anomaly on the high platform startled everyone below .

For them, not much time had passed, why there was a sudden cry from above.

Listening carefully, it was actually the voice of the Li Family Master.

Lin Wan was in a hurry and couldn't care less as she hurriedly climbed towards the top.

"Honey, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

Sister Hong and Sister Violet Star followed along and climbed up, and the top of the stone platform immediately looked crowded.

Shen Xingyue anxiously shouted from below, "Brother Mu, what's wrong with you, speak up, what's wrong?"

Third Auntie carried her up, "Girl, hold on tight to Mother, I'll take you up!"

On the stone platform, Lin Wan knelt in front of her husband, holding him in her arms and softly comforting him.

Several women gathered around and watched him in silence.

They had never seen that the man would be so sad.

It was a complete catharsis after an emotional breakdown, and the only way to calm him down was to let him cry out in pain.

Although the people below were anxious, they also knew that an accident had occurred, and they all knowingly did not rush Li Mu, but quietly waited for news.

After a while, Liamu stopped his grief and hung his head, listless.

No matter who spoke to him, he didn't say a word, with a sullen look and a dull gaze.

The third aunt finally saw the bone knife and couldn't help but eep.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Shen Xingyue asked.

"What is that thing, I don't think I've seen it before." The third aunt replied.

"Mother, is it possible you're remembering wrong?"

The Third Aunt recalled for a while, shook her head and said, "No, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, the stone beast used to be smooth, now there's an extra item, what the hell is this?"

"It's a bone knife!" Li Mu said as he looked up.

"Brother Mu, you're willing to talk." Shen Xingyue excitedly knelt beside him.

Reimu suddenly froze, looking straight at her.

Miss Shen's pretty face flushed and she shyly lowered her head.

Lin Wan pulled her husband's head over and said with an annoyed look, "What are you looking at, don't you recognize her?"

With so many family heads watching below, this is not an appropriate occasion for a jealousy fight. Sister-in-law Hong hurriedly relieved herself and said, "Auntie, what did you just say, that's a bone knife?"

"Yes, it's a bone knife and the key to unlock the treasure."

He didn't speak loudly, but everyone still heard him clearly.

For a moment, the crowd was overjoyed, and Master General couldn't help but shout, "Nephew, where is the entrance to the treasure?"

Li Mu supported his wife, stood up from the ground, stabilized his mind, and said to the following, "Uncle Feng, you guys check the surface of the stone pillar, there should be a hole on it, that hole is the keyhole, insert this bone knife into it, and you can open the hidden treasure."

The people below hurriedly searched around the stone pillar, and then, someone shouted, "I found it, there really is a hole here."

The third aunt reached for the bone knife and pulled it a few times, but it didn't budge.

She couldn't help but ask, "Son, are you sure it's a key, it's so attached to the stone that it can't be pulled off."

Li Mu said in a deep voice, "I'll do it, I'm the only one who can pull it off!"

He gripped the hilt of his blade, and large teardrops fell down, splaying out on the stone beast.

Lin Wan asked, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"Did I kill her?"

"Who, the stone beast?"

"Its name is Hope, it's the guardian beast of the treasure, and I'm the one who killed her!"

With that said, he clenched his teeth and pulled out the bone knife.

Li Mu's heart bitter, but can not tell the truth to people, can only be pressed in the bottom of the heart of that miserable, hidden in the corner, forcing themselves not to touch that forbidden area.

The bone knife plunged into the hole and the boulder began to tremble.

With a roar, a stone palace took off and changed, the door splitting into left and right, and stone steps showing up one at a time, continuing from the gate to the ground.

The crowd was agitated, and Li Mu hid behind the crowd, looking at the stone platform, looking indifferent to what was happening in front of him.

On the stone platform, Hope's stone statue was still lying on its back, and on top of its head, the bow was still tied.

"Hubby!" Lin Wan called out softly.

Li Mu withdrew his gaze and said to the crowd, "Let's go, let's go in together."

He led the way towards the front, and the crowd followed him, walking into the main hall together.

Lights came on all around, and someone whispered, "Everlasting lights, this is good stuff!"

With that, no one spoke again.

They saw a golden mountain, and near it, piles of jewelry were scattered on the ground, covering the entire hall.

Pt. Wang Sheng muttered, "Boy, could I have arrived at Ali Baba's treasure trove?"

Duan Xiongnan laughed, "Brother Wang, our ancestors were veritable Southern Ocean Bandits, and the term treasure trove is really apt."

After the initial excitement, Cheng Kunan quickly calmed down and frowned, "There are too many, everyone, I'm afraid we don't have time to take all the treasures."

Upon his reminder, everyone then reacted and couldn't help but sip their teeth as well.

Cheng Kunan was right, the amount of treasures was just too much, and nowadays, there was only one day left at full capacity, which was not enough to transport all these riches away.

"Stop pondering!" Master Handle urged, "Take as much as you can, everyone hurry up."

The crowd immediately began to move, taking down the waterproof bag from the big guy and using their hands as shovels to put those jewels into the waterproof bag.

The crowd of family members had all put down their sass at the moment and were pouting their asses off to work hard.

There is no way, a fellow did not bring in, want to move these treasures, can only do it themselves, this time do not talk about face, take away the wealth is the right thing.

Soon, the twenty waterproof bags the big guy brought in were stuffed with treasure.

It's the big guys who put in the most effort here.

His two big hands as two shovels, a hand down a large handful, twenty waterproof bags, can have more than half are filled by him.

Master Handle said happily, "Guys, with the help of Big Brother, I don't think we'll have enough time, we're short of carriers now, someone go get more waterproof bags in, the faster the better!"

"No need!" Li Mu suddenly said, "There are ready-made carriers inside the great hall, we can borrow what our ancestors left behind."

"What are you referring to, nephew, that the ancestors left behind?"

Li Mu pointed to the side of the great hall and said to the crowd, "If my expectation is good, those boxes are used to carry jewelry, and the inside of the boxes should be empty."

The crowd all looked over, only to realize that on the right side of the main hall, layers of boxes were neatly yards and stacked like a wall.

The Violet Star Sisters darted over, pulled off the wooden dowel, and opened one of the crates, then shouted, "Brother Wood, it's really empty!"

The people were overjoyed and hurriedly carried all those wooden boxes over and loaded those gold and silver treasures inside the boxes.

The big guy is having a blast.

For him, it was a very fun game, didn't even need to be ordered by anyone, and did the work himself, dozens of times more efficiently than the next person.

While others take ten minutes to fill a box, he can stuff one in less than a couple of clicks.

Then Li Mu was responsible for smashing the wooden dowel down, one person and one corpse cooperated with each other, and it took less than two hours to scavenge the treasures on the ground.

Immediately after that, it was time to move the treasure.

Again, the crowd came together and moved the boxes to the waterfront.

The big guy still puts in the most effort.

While others carry one box with two men, he carries ten by himself.

Tie it up with a rope, sling it over your shoulder, and go you, fit as a fiddle, run away.

The master is too old to do manual labor and is responsible for counting the belongings.

The final number was two hundred and forty chests, and even the Zhou family, which had the smallest share, was able to share six chests of treasure, a sufficiently large amount of wealth.

How to transport these treasures out of the country was again a bit of a dilemma for everyone.

Finally, the Third Aunt suggested that the boxes be strung on ropes and tied to the Big Guy's waist, with the Big Guy as the main man in charge of carrying them out.

He should not be greedy for more than he can carry at a time, and should only carry ten boxes.

The rest of the people do not idle, two groups of two people, and the big man together to transport the box outside, tossed a dozen trips, you can move all these treasures.

The people did as they were told, and began to transport the boxes outward, and by the second trip, they were replaced by stout martial artists, who were in charge of each family.

Shen Xing Yue did not travel with them, she was just an ordinary person, or a woman, this kind of strength work could not be done.

She was left to guard the treasure, and the Third Aunt, uneasy about the girl guarding it alone, volunteered to stay with her.

After another hour of tossing and turning, the crates were almost empty, and only the last batch of crates remained on the waterfront.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Reimu returned to the boulder alone, wanting to say goodbye to Hope, wanting to see her one last time.

The mother and daughter of the three aunties were about to leave the hidden treasure site with the last group of martial artists when they saw him, Shen Xingyue asked, "Brother Mu, why did you come in?"

"I came to see Hope and say goodbye to her!" Li Mu replied truthfully.

Shen Xingyue still wanted to say something, but Li Mu walked straight over and climbed onto that high platform.

He knelt down beside the stone beast and stroked its body, and unlike before, it was cold to the touch, no longer carrying a trace of warmth.

Tears welled up in his eyes once again, how he wanted to return to that world, to frolic and play indulgently with Hope, to sip tea and chat pleasantly with Fang Ting.

He knew that this wish could never be realized, he could never see the lovely Xiaoyuan or the beautiful Shen Fangting again.

If he could go back in time, he would have said out loud to her, "I love you, come with me!"

The pain tortured him, and Reimu held his head in his hands and cried silently in pain.

A hand on his shoulder, Li Mu turned around, Shen Fangting stood behind him, sobbing, looking at him.

Li Mu bounced up from the ground and held her tightly in his arms, "Fantine, I love you, don't leave me, okay?"

"Okay, I swear I'll never leave you!"

Shen Fangting also hugged him tightly, trembling, seeking his lips and kissing him passionately.

Under the stone platform, the third aunt scolded, "Why are you two still kissing, you're simply fooling around, come down quickly, don't be seen by outsiders."

Reimu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly let go, looking at her in surprise.

"Star, Star Moon?"

Shen Xingyue flung herself into his arms and softly said, "I knew you loved me, you kissed me again, you have to be responsible for me for the rest of your life!"
