Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Treasure Hunt

On the disc is a painting. A highway, marked "Provincial Highway 408", has Pingshan Village next to it, a river to the north of the village, a forest beside the river, and a random grave next to the forest.The red arrow points to the forest, and a red "Wan" character is painted on a tree. For Wan Sui'er, this game is too exciting! She immediately searched for the location of Pingshan Village, but its level was too low to be found on the map.I asked people in QQ, but no one knew. Is it funny? One day, Wan Sui'er saw the latest urban map of Acropolis on the street, including eight districts and ten counties, and bought it immediately. She also bought a magnifying glass in a decent way.In fact, she didn't use a magnifying glass at all, and soon found three words in the upper left corner of the map - Pingshan Village, which made her almost jump up with excitement.After calculation, it is 80 kilometers away from the city of Acropolis.

Wan Sui'er is going to explore the mystery. She wanted to see what strange things she could find, even if it wasn't a treasure, it didn't matter, even if it was just a pack of Ming coins, or an old saber, or an old-fashioned record player. What matters is "unknown". This girl was too careless, and she didn't ask who sent her the CD, what was the motive, and she just left. Originally, she wanted to ask Langma to go with her, but she was afraid that she would make Langma laugh if she had nothing, so this morning she took a long-distance bus and set off alone. She carried a small knife in her backpack to protect against gangsters; and a condom in case of perverts.

An hour later, Wan Sui'er arrived at Pingshan Village. After getting off the car, she met a sheep herding boy, about the same age as Wan Sui'er, who seemed to have never seen anyone in the city, and kept staring at Wan Sui'er with blank eyes. Wan Sui'er asked him, "Excuse me, is this Pingshan Village?" The sheep-herding boy replied, "Pingshan Village." Wan Sui'er asked again: "Is there a forest in the north of the village?" The shepherd boy replied, "Yes." Wan Sui'er said, "How far?" The shepherd boy replied: "Four or five miles."

Wan Sui'er said, "Thank you." Then, around the village, she headed north along a dirt road. The air in the countryside was very fresh, with a strong smell of cow dung, and a few bugs in the fields by the roadside were screaming, as if they were teasing Wan Sui'er, and she really wanted to go in and catch them.In order to "treasure hunt", she finally gave up this plan. This place is very remote, and Wan Sui'er met four people on the road—two farmers working in the fields, a woman picking wild vegetables, and a fishmonger riding a motorcycle. When the sun rose overhead, Wan Sui'er finally found the river.In fact, the river has dried up, exposing the dry riverbed.At this time, Wan Sui'er felt hungry, and she planned to eat something, which she brought, but the riverside was too low and unsafe, so she continued to walk towards the high forest.

On the edge of the forest, there are many tombstones standing here and there, with strange names engraved on them, mostly three characters.A tall wreath is placed on a grave, which is very bright and "cracks" with the wind.There is still a photo on the tombstone. It is a woman who looks newly dead. She looks at Wan Sui'er with a smile.I don't know if she is in heaven or hell at this time. These tombs made Wan Sui'er feel a little queasy, and couldn't eat anything at all. The forest is very large, and it is too difficult to find the marked tree.Wan Sui'er did not give up, and walked slowly towards the depths of the forest, while carefully observing every tree trunk.Her brain is not idle either, she has been thinking wildly...

The wild grass under the feet was getting higher and higher, and a red "Wan" character suddenly appeared.She was overjoyed, and ran over quickly, and saw a square hole under the tree—did someone get there first and already dug away the treasure?She stood in front of the pit for a while, and suddenly realized that this was a grave that had been dug in advance, just waiting for her to lie in it!The word "ten thousand" is engraved on the tree next to her. Isn't that just her tombstone!She was about to run away, but a pair of hands appeared behind her, and she was pushed down violently, and then, clods of soil fell on her head and face... Not long after, someone met the man in white again, and received the CD again. According to reports, when I came to this forest, what I dug up was the skeleton of a young girl...

The more Wan Sui'er thought about it, the more nervous she became. She took out a knife from her backpack and held it tightly in her hand. Some trees hide behind other trees, and some leaves hide behind other leaves. They are hidden and layered on top of each other. Let alone hiding a person here, even thousands of troops can hide.Wan Sui'er did not give up, and searched forward little by little, but her pace became slower and slower. A bird with a big body, like a hen, and colorful feathers fell on the tree in front of it. The naughty Wan Sui'er had the urge to catch it.This time she came for real.She stared at it for a while, then slowly squatted down, untied the shoelaces on her two feet, tied them together, jumped up, clamped her legs to the tree trunk, and climbed up with the shoelaces.After a lot of effort, she finally climbed up the tree and got close to the branch.Strangely, facing Wan Sui'er's approach, the "hen" didn't fly away, but just looked at her quietly.

Wan Sui'er stopped one meter away from it, and in an instant she felt the terror of this "hen". Its feathers are too bright. Is there such a species on earth? And its eyes are too human-like, so cold. After thinking about it, Wan Sui'er slowly slid down, untied the shoelaces, tied them separately, and walked away quickly.After walking for a while, looking back, the "hen" was still looking at her among the mottled leaves. She quickened her pace.If the tree can no longer be found, she will quit. When the word "ten thousand" appeared in front of her eyes, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, feeling suddenly frightened.Looking back, there was silence in the woods.

Everything is true! After about a minute, she walked over slowly and turned around the tree. She didn't see the deep hole, and there were wild grass all around.The mark was carved and painted red with a crayon. Wan Sui'er became suspicious again. Why is it red and not green?The scarlet letter looks like blood. She bent down and pulled the grass under her feet with her hands. The grass was camouflaged and easily separated from the soil.She quickly took out a folding shovel from her backpack and quickly dug up. In fact, Wan Sui'er only dug a few times before bumping into the hard object, and when he brought it up, it turned out to be a silver-gray aluminum alloy lockbox.

She fiddled with it for a while, and the combination box was tightly stitched and impregnable. Movie experience told her that as long as there are treasures, there must be danger lurking.So, she pricked up her ears to listen, and she caught a rustling sound, she raised her head suddenly, and there were no people around except trees. She put down the pocket shovel and grabbed the pocket knife.After shaking, he put down the knife again and grabbed the folding shovel.A pocketknife is too small, a folding shovel would be a nice weapon. She held up the folding shovel and looked around, but there was still no one.

She stopped and listened, and the forest was very quiet, without the rustling sound just now. She returned to the aluminum alloy lockbox, and began to load things into her backpack. While she was packing, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes finally caught a person. It turned out to be the shepherd boy, who has been quietly following Wan Sui'er. Wan Sui'er's heart skipped a beat. The shepherd boy was standing ten steps away, looking straight at Wan Sui'er with a pair of dull eyes. Not knowing where the courage came from, Wan Sui'er stood up holding the folding shovel, and suddenly asked, "What is one plus one?" The shepherd boy blinked his eyes: "Two." Wan Sui'er stared at him for a while, then said in a gloomy tone: "You, know, know, yes, too much!" Then, she raised the folding shovel and walked towards him step by step.The shepherd boy was still looking straight at her. Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps, seven steps, six steps, five steps, four steps, three steps... Wan Sui'er's hands trembled more and more, and she was about to give up. When the sheep-herding boy was only two steps away, the other party ran away suddenly, perhaps because he was too panicked, and even stumbled. He got up and glanced at Wan Sui'er, then continued to run wildly, and soon disappeared. Wan Sui'er was stunned by the scene in front of her. That's okay too? After being stunned for a moment, she quickly picked up the lockbox and ran out of the woods. When Wan Sui'er got home, her father hadn't left work yet.She put the lockbox on the floor, brought Dad's toolbox, tried various weapons, but couldn't open it. She was sweating all over, sitting on the floor panting. Damn, after running so far and risking my life to dig up this "treasure", I can't open it!Wan Sui'er didn't have any extravagant hopes, as long as she could open it, even if it was empty, at least one box would be left behind. After resting for a while, Wan Sui'er got down on the ground, put her head on the lockbox and listened - there wouldn't be a time bomb in it, right? In the end, she gave up and wanted to wait for her father to come back before trying to find a solution.She tucked it under the bed and temporarily hid it.
