Chapter 31
Li Ying winked and made a face at Li Xueer, then turned around and twisted her butt towards Li Xueer, and happily followed Shuanzi and the others to find the treasure.
She must have gone through the cave today, not wanting to take advantage of Li Xueer even a penny.
Li Xueer was furious when faced with Li Ying's provocation, but she couldn't do anything to her. She stamped her foot unwillingly and followed her to look for the treasure in the cave.
Lin Qingxuan whispered to the village chief and village party secretary: "Li Xue'er is really ungrateful. Ying'er saved her no matter what, so it's fine that she doesn't feel grateful. She actually harbors resentment towards Ying'er. What an outright person." The white-eyed wolf is really disgusting."
The village party secretary rolled his eyes at Lin Qingxuan and said, "Li Xueer can instigate Li Guoqing and Li Guorong to throw Ying'er on the mountain. If you still expect her to be a good person, you might as well expect a sow to climb a tree."
Lin Qingxuan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Secretary of the Communist Party of China, I think too well of human nature."
"Human beings are inherently good. It's not that you think too well of human nature, but that you think too well of Li Xueer." The village party secretary said.
The village chief looked at the jewelry on the head of the mummy and the bracelet on the wrist inside the coffin, and said sarcastically: "Li Xueer must have wanted the treasure on the mummy inside the coffin, so she was contaminated by the evil spirit, and the ghost came back. I took the opportunity to possess her, but I never expected that Li Xueer’s willpower would be so strong that she could compete with a ghost that has suppressed her for countless years.”
Lin Qingxuan looked at the golden jewelry on the mummy's head and the jade bracelet on his hand, which looked very valuable at first glance. Then he looked at Li Xueer who was looking for the treasure on the ground, and said sarcastically: "You are not old, but you are brave enough. For money, I even risked my life.”
The village chief and the village party secretary suddenly remembered that there were two people in the village who were looking for treasures, and were worried that they would follow them to the cave. They looked at each other, took off the jewelry on the mummy and put it away, and called Lin Qingxuan to turn the coffin inside. After a while, he took out two gold ingots and two silver ingots, and then took out the jade pillow of the mummy.
The village chief took off his shirt, wrapped the jade pillow with his shirt, and said: "Sell these treasures. Ying'er and Shuanzi will each give 100 yuan, and the helpers will each receive [-] yuan, and the rest will be given to Ying'er and Shuanzi." The money is used to build roads in the village and buy a water pump. During spring plowing, water will be pumped to everyone for free. Any remaining money will be saved as funds for the village."
The village party secretary nodded with satisfaction and strongly agreed with the village chief's statement.
Lin Qingxuan had no objection to the village chief's proposal. Instead, he looked at the red coffin and said, "What about the coffin and the mummy?"
The village chief said without hesitation: "Burn it to avoid future troubles."
After hearing the village chief's words, Li Xueer's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Li Ying and Shuan Zi turned the cave upside down, but found nothing and lowered their heads in disappointment.
Li Xueer was confused. Just now she had been watching the village chief and the others taking the treasure from the coffin. The beads were not in the coffin, and they could not be found on the ground. Could it be that she threw the beads out of the hole in her panic?
Li Xueer thought about it and thought it was impossible, so she could only lament her misfortune.
"Village chief, party secretary, where are you?" A cry came from below the cliff.
Lin Qingxuan walked to the entrance of the cave and saw Li Meng and about ten people looking for them under the cliff.
"Li Meng, we are here!" Lin Qingxuan shouted at Li Meng.
Li Meng looked for the sound and saw Lin Qingxuan standing on the cliff with a look of shock on his face. Damn it!Isn't the coffin just in the cave on the cliff? It's so tall, and they don't have three heads and six arms, so how can they carry the coffin out?
Lin Qingxuan saw two people looking for the treasure in the crowd, and secretly felt lucky that the village chief and the village party secretary were wise enough to put the treasure away in Qingxuan asked Li Meng to bring two people up, and then showed Li Meng and the others the way to come up. Then he quickly entered the cave and said to the village chief: "Village Chief, there are two strangers looking for the treasure. Follow Li Meng and the others."
The village chief saw that the jade pillow in his hand was too obvious to hold, so he put the jade pillow into Li Ying's arms and let her hold it.
"Uncle Village Chief, is this for me?" Li Ying said in surprise.
"It's a beautiful idea, let me help you hold it." The village chief said, looking at Li Ying and the others, and warned: "Except for your parents, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the baby in the coffin. If you don't tell anyone, I’ll give each of you 100 yuan.”
Li Ying and Shuan Zi nodded excitedly, indicating that they would not talk nonsense.
The four of them looked at each other and laughed happily. They didn't find the treasure, but they got 100 yuan. They made a lot of money today.
The village chief looked at Li Xueer, hoping to get her guarantee that he would not tell anything about the baby.
Li Xueer knew that she had to agree to the village chief's request, otherwise she would not get a penny.
"I won't tell anyone for the 100 yuan reward, but I hope the village chief won't tell anyone about what happened when I got into the coffin. If Shuanzi and the others accidentally tell it, it will also trouble the village chief, party secretary, and Uncle Qingxuan. Come forward and clarify for me."
Li Xueer didn't want the news about her lying in the coffin to spread, and she didn't want to go out and be criticized.
The village chief, village party secretary and Lin Qingxuan looked at each other. At such a young age, Li Xueer had already thought of a way out, which should not be underestimated! "We promise you, and we hope that for the sake of the peace of the village, you will not tell anything about the treasure." The village party secretary promised.
Li Ying pouted unhappily. She, Shuanzi and the others found the red coffin, not Li Xueer, so why should she give Li Xue 100 yuan.
Li Meng took Lin Lu and two treasure hunters to the cave. When he saw the red coffin in the cave, his eyes suddenly lit up. He touched and looked around the red coffin, as if he was touching a peerless treasure. Same, his eyes lit up when he looked at the corpse in the red coffin.
Li Ying looked at the wolf-like eyes of the two treasure hunters and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Fuck!"
It's so strange that some people like coffins so much!
Seeing that the two treasure hunters liked the red coffin so much, Li Ying said sincerely: "Uncles, it's useless for you to just look and touch. My grandfather said that you have to go in and lie down to know whether the coffin is good or not."
The two treasure hunters were stunned when they heard this. Although they believed in science and opposed superstition, they were asked to enter the coffin and lie together with the dead body. Forgive them that they couldn't do it!
The village chief and the others couldn't help but laugh. They really liked this girl Ying'er more and more!
"Ying'er is right. You can only tell whether the coffin is good or not after you go in and lie down. The elderly in our village, after the coffin is ready, will go in and try to lie down to see if the size is suitable and whether it is comfortable to lie down on." The village chief said seriously. .
"Yes, yes, my great-grandfather went into his own coffin and lay down there." Li Ying nodded in agreement.
