It has been a while since Lao Liu's head buried its large wooden box. If he hadn't seen the slightly raised small mound behind the house, perhaps Jin Ye would have even forgotten that Lao Liu's head had buried something here.

There are thick layers of bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, some fell last year, and some fell only this spring. Summer is finally over. Although the weather has not yet become much cooler, the autumn wind blows quickly, blowing the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest into the air and then falling from the air. These bamboo leaves secretly cover up the small pile of soil, as if they know that there is something amazing below.

After dinner, Old Liu went out again. Jin Ye thought he had gone to somewhere again. However, Jin Ye had been waiting for a long time but still didn't see Old Liu come back. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious and wondered if he wanted to go out to see, so that something happened.

However, before Jin Ye set off, Old Liu came back. Three people were all fifty. They were all covered in tendons and their voices were very rough. When they spoke, they seemed to be shaken in the whole room. Another person's face was black, his face was silly, and his body was stronger than Old Liu's head. The only thing that was unique was his hands, which had thick calluses on it. Finally, he was a sharp face, which looked much whiter. However, since he entered the door, his mouth had never stopped. I really don't know where so many words came from.

Jin Ye heard from Lao Liu's words that these people were Wu Blacksmith, Wang Mijiang and Li Chanfang, and the one who talked the most was Li Chanfang.

Lao Liu invited several people into the house with a serious expression. The others stopped talking when they saw this. Lao Liu said, "Brothers have been playing with each other since childhood. I'll ask everyone for what happened today."

Accountant Li said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, brothers, you know what to do."

So few people didn't say anything, picked up the shovel and went to the place where Lao Liu buried the box before and dug it up. Jin Ye could only hear the "rustling" sound of the soil sliding and the heavy breathing of several people.

Finally, several people dug out the box and carried it to the hall of the hut.

There was a kerosene lamp in the hall. It might be that a breeze blew gently, and the candlelight as big as a bean jumped slightly, like an elf.

The faint lights really make it difficult to illuminate the entire hut. The entire hut looks dark and exudes a mysterious smell.

Lao Liu walked forward a few steps forward and was about to pick up the key to open the box. Seeing this, the other people took a few steps back and turned their heads. However, people were curious, so how could these three people not have it? Especially Li Jianfang. Although his head turned, his eyes were squinting at Lao Liu's head.

Did Old Liu's head catch up with Li's account and peek at him? Jin Ye didn't know. Jin Ye thought Old Liu's head probably didn't show up, otherwise why wouldn't he say nothing?

There were five locks installed on the large wooden box. Old Liu took out the key and opened the floor. The atmosphere became tense every time he opened the lock. Wu Blacksmith, Wang Maijiang and Li Guanfang seemed to hold their breath, and they didn't even make a sound, as if their heartbeat stopped. However, their ears were standing high, for fear of missing something.

Finally, all the locks were opened, and Lao Liu gently opened the box and could only reach into the crack of his hand. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense. Lao Liu looked around and the three people next to him immediately pretended that the scenery outside was good. Seeing this, Lao Liu quickly took out dozens of taels of silver from the box and stuffed it into his arms.

The three people next to him suddenly shrank their eyes and thought to themselves: I said what is in it. It turns out that the box contains silver! Oh my god! How much silver can this box contain? I didn't expect that Old Liu, who usually dressed in poverty, was actually a hidden rich man.

It is like peace today. People at this time are relatively simple. If it were a time when bandits were rampant, people around them would probably think about how to kill people and seize treasures. After all, how can Old Liu defend such a huge wealth? If bandits hear it, they will probably come to the door now.

However, even if we are peaceful today, we cannot stop the people's gossip. A few days later, rumors spread in the village that Old Liu was a rich man from somewhere. There is no need to guess this, Jin Ye knew that this was definitely from the three people who got up to dig wooden boxes, especially the Li Accountant, who didn't have a mouth to keep a door in his mouth, so he knew what could be hidden?

Jin Ye was quite strange. Old Liu was usually quite smart. How could he find such three people to dig wooden boxes? Now it seems that everyone in the village knows it. What a silly thing this is called? But later when Jin Ye knew the truth, he always mocked himself: I was so smart at that time.

Some of Lao Liu's daughters-in-law heard the news from somewhere, saying that Lao Liu had hidden a large sum of money at home. At first, they all disbelief and thought that it was just a villager who was spreading it blindly, and how much money the dead old man could have. But the few people didn't make this clear, and they were unwilling to accept it. So they went around to inquire, and the wife all found out the source of the rumors, Li Account. So unexpected things were born like this, and the daughters-in-law actually ran to Li Account House and met here.

Several people heard Li Jianfang say mysteriously: "You didn't see the situation at that time. Such a large wooden box filled with silver. I have never seen so much silver in my life! Don't believe it, it's not me who lie to you. This is all my own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can ask the blacksmith and bamboo craftsman. They are all famous honest people in the village. All the three of us have seen it." Li Jianfang said while gesturing.
