HCB Chapter 478: Surprise in the Cave
Chapter 478: Surprise in the Cave
Seeing the low mood of the few people, Liang Hean quickly changed the subject and pointed to a huge rock on the hillside as if unintentionally.
"Why does it look like there is a cave there?"
Everyone looked up and saw nothing but rocks, trees and weeds.
Fang Qingge followed Liang Hean's words and added fuel to the fire.
"Brother An, since we are here, let's go over and take a look. The mountain ahead is the one we bought."
"Well, why not go and take a look!"
Liang Hean spoke, and Qin Huai and the others followed.
*
Guards Bai Yu and Lan Yu walked to the front holding a long iron rod in their hands.
As he walked, he knocked away the dead wood, weeds and branches that were in the way, and soon he had made a path under his feet.
"Sir, you are right. There is indeed a small cave behind these old trees. It is blocked by dense weeds. You have a very good eye."
Liang and An showed great interest in the compliment.
"Oh? Then let's go in and take a look."
"No, sir, please wait a moment while I go over and take a look."
Eunuch Fu strode forward worriedly, used the wooden stick in his hand to push away the man-high weeds and dead branches, and poked his head in to look again and again.
"Sir, it's so dark in there that you can't see anything?!"
Eunuch Fu turned his head and said that he strongly disapproved of the young master going in.
Liang Hean laughed and said,
"Afu, it's okay. There's no danger in broad daylight."
Eunuch Fu shook his head like a rattle.
"Sir, you are always cautious, why do you have to go into such a dark little cave?
Besides, no villagers have ever set foot in this place, and I am afraid that the cave is full of snakes, rats, poisonous insects, etc. What if you go in and get into danger?"
*
Liang Hean patted Eunuch Fu on the shoulder and comforted him,
"Afu, I have a feeling there's something in there. Nothing will happen to us."
"this?"
Seeing that the young master had said so much, Eunuch Fu could no longer stop him.
He looked up and saw Lord Qin nodded to him again. He said "oh" reluctantly, but still rushed to the front with Lan Yu.
*
Liang He'an took out a previously designed and made folding palace lantern from the package on Bai Yubei's back that was protecting him. He opened it, lit it with a fire stick, and asked Eunuch Fu to hold it for lighting.
At this time, Lan Yu had already cleared the entrance of the cave with the axe at his waist.
The entrance of the cave was a bit narrow and could only accommodate one person. Several people walked in slowly one by one.
After walking about a hundred steps, a stone wall blocked everyone's way.
Eunuch Fu and Lan Yu said in unison,
"Sir, this cave is only this big!"
Liang Hean glanced at Fang Qingge with a smile flashing in his eyes.
He analyzed to several people,
"You see there is wind here. I have seen a description in a book that some of the stone walls in the cave are just a trick.
Baiyu, Lanyu, both of you try pushing hard from one side."
"Ah? Yes."
The two men followed the young master's orders.
Qin Huai, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle at the young master's stubborn behavior like a child today. He thought, as long as the young master is happy!
But before everyone could get confused, they heard a creaking sound, as if the stone wall was loosening, and there was a sound like the friction of a door hinge.
Bai Yu and Lan Yu cried out in surprise.
"Sir, the stone wall can really be pushed open! It's like pushing a door, without any effort at all."
Watching the stone wall being slowly pushed open by the two people, Eunuch Fu's hand holding the palace lantern trembled.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Oh my, you really guessed it right, sir! Wait, is there really a treasure hidden inside?!"
Everyone was amused by Eunuch Fu's words.
But Fang Qingge held back his laughter and thought to himself, Eunuch Fu, you have revealed the truth!
*
After Qin Huai was surprised, he was also full of curiosity to explore. He drew the sword from his waist.
"Sir, let a few of my subordinates go ahead."
"Well, be careful."
Hearing this, Qin Huai no longer had any doubts about Liang Hean's insistence on entering the cave.
It seems that the young master is just simply curious!
The stone wall was half pushed open, and with the light of the palace lanterns, it turned out that there was a lot of space inside. The cave was so big that the eyes of the few people suddenly opened up.
Liang Hean said,
"Lan Yu goes in and takes a look first."
"Yes, sir."
Lan Yu held a long iron rod in one hand and a palace lantern in the other, and went in to check.
Soon, he ran out and said naively,
"Sir, the cave is very large and there is no poison. With the help of the light, I saw some shiny spots on the stone wall and the ground, but I didn't have time to take a closer look."
"Okay! Then let's all go in! Bai Yu cleaned up the mess and thought about closing the stone wall."
"Yes, sir."
A few people walked in and found the ground was very flat, as if it had been trimmed by someone.
The further they walked, the larger the cave entrance became. After turning a corner, they saw faint flashes of golden light on the ground and the stone wall, which made several people gasp.
Eunuch Fu's eyes widened, as did Qin Huai and Imperial Physician Qi. They ran up in disbelief and touched the glowing object with their hands.
suddenly,
"Oh my!" exclaimed Eunuch Fu excitedly picked up a golden stone, ran to Liang Hean and held the stone in his hand, saying excitedly,
"Master, Master, we are rich! Hahahaha..., we are rich! This is a stone that contains gold!"
Then, Eunuch Fu complained to Lan Yu,
"You are so stupid. You can't even recognize the gold right in front of you. Fortunately, the young master didn't listen to you, otherwise we would have withdrawn if we had listened to you!"
"Ah? Really, these are gold?"
Lan Yu was dumbfounded.
Bai Yu nudged the stunned Lan Yu with his elbow and laughed excitedly.
*
Qin Huai was also excited, holding the few pieces of gold in his hand with shining eyes.
"Sir, I see this is an undiscovered gold mine! Your premonition is amazing!"
Imperial Physician Qi, who had been following Liang Hean and Fang Qingge, kept touching the stone wall, feeling as if he was dreaming and it was so unreal.
Looking at the sparkling stones everywhere in the cave, I was so excited that my mouth couldn't close!
"Sir, if this cave was filled with gold, wouldn't you become a wealthy man who is as rich as a country?! Hehehe..."
"Yeah, yeah! Hahaha..."
Eunuch Fu also laughed so hard that his teeth were showing.
He said "Huh?", turned around and looked around, and asked,
"Where are those two guys, Bai Yu and Lan Yu? How come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?!"
*
As for Baiyu and Lanyu, who had been missing for a long time, they had already gone back to explore the cave like two wild horses.
Just at this time,
Then I heard two people exclaiming in surprise even louder.
"Sir, sir, please come quickly, walk forward and take a look here."
The prince held Fang Qingge's hand, and Eunuch Fu hurriedly walked forward holding the palace lantern for lighting.
After walking a few dozen meters, I saw piles of things piled up on one side of the stone wall. They were separated in an orderly manner.
These things were all wrapped in cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.
Everyone became even more curious!
