Where did this gold brick come from?

Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng ran over immediately.

They took the gold bricks from Jiang Li's hand and looked at them. There are about fifty taels of gold bricks. He Qingfeng took two more bites.

This is indeed gold.

He Qingfeng asked Jiang Li.

"Do you still have this ability?"

"If I had this ability, would I still be here?"

"Where did it come from?"

Shi Qingjue asked the key point, but Jiang Li didn't know either.

She pointed to the well.

"I just used a bucket to fetch water. After I pulled it up, I saw something in the bucket. When I took it out, it was this gold brick."

"Could it be that God has mercy on us?"

He Qingfeng looked at the sky, and Jiang Li also looked at it. She shook her head.

"My relationship with God is not that good."

Shi Qingjue was looking into the well at this time.

"Is this the only one inside?"

He said this, but couldn't see anything clearly.

The well is about two feet in size, and one person can easily go down it, but it is very deep, and the water level is only one or two feet away from the well mouth, so it is still difficult to see what is inside.

"Can I see clearly with a torch?"

Jiang Li asked, and Shi Qingjue shook his head.

"If you want to know if there is anything down there, you have to go down there. This rope is not strong enough, so you have to buy a new one."

This rope was originally torn from the cloth that Jiang Li used to block the window. It can carry more than ten kilograms of water, but for a person weighing more than one hundred kilograms, it will be a lot of trouble.

Jiang Li took the gold brick.

"Go in and tease the jade bamboo forest."

After she said that, she entered the house. Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng looked at each other on the spot and decided to wait and think about what happened to Jin Zi and go in first to take a look.

When they entered the house and found a corner to hide and peek, they saw Jiang Li patting the gold brick on the bed. She said to Yuzhulin.

"We have money."

Yuzhulin looked at Jinzhuan, his eyes widened.

"Where did you get it? You didn't really steal it, did you?"

"How is it possible? I just... fished it out of the water."

Every sentence was true, but Jiang Li's secretive demeanor and tone were really hard to believe.

Yuzhulin didn't believe it.

She picked up the gold brick and looked at it. Jiang Li put the gold brick down again.

"Don't worry, there are no marks, it's very clean."

Yu Zhulin looked at Jin Brick and pushed it back in the direction of Jiang Li.

"Go and give it back to them! Before they find out."

"Help is urgent."

"But this is a thief. Can you guarantee that every time you steal something in the future, you will do it to save others?"

"Just this once."

Yu Zhulin shook his head.

"It won't happen just this time. After you experience being able to get money so easily, you won't want to work hard to earn money in the future. You will still steal again. Don't the boss and He Qingfeng care about you?"

"them……"

Jiang Li hesitated again and did not continue.

Yu Zhulin's eyes widened again, and she stood up.

"Don't tell me you did something to them two?"

Just as he said this, Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng walked in in pain, covering their heads.

Upon entering, they saw the gold bricks on the bed.

Shi Qingjue was furious.

"Where did it come from?"

"Caught from the water."

"Oh, then it's fine."

Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng both nodded and sat down next to them.

Yu Zhulin looked at these two people.

"Did Xiaoyue beat you two stupid?"

"Whatever is fished out of the water is what God gave us. It's okay."

He Qingfeng said this.

Yuzhulin gritted his teeth.

"Okay, then you can spend it. I quit."

With that said, she planned to lift Tieniu up.

Several people saw this and asked quickly.

"What are you doing?"

"Even if I am alone, I can still earn enough money to treat Tieniu!"

At this point, the three of them knew they had gone too far. They hurriedly explained, but they had stated the matter so concretely that no matter how they explained it, they couldn't get it right. In the end, they relied on Yuzhulin's trust in them.

"I'm pretty good at water, I'll go down and have a look later."

Yu Zhulin said this. She learned more than just Tai Chi from her grandfather.

Then, she took out another pendant.

"Besides, I still have this."

This pendant was originally useless in the forest, but one day when I accidentally fell asleep while taking a bath in Yuzhu Forest, I discovered the power of this pendant.

Allow people to breathe freely in the water for five minutes.

This is the right weapon for this operation.

Coupled with another magic weapon that can improve people's eyesight, Yuzhulin is the most suitable person for this operation.

A few people nodded, went to the street to buy a thick hemp rope, and planned to put down the jade bamboo forest.

When tying up Yuzhulin, Yuzhulin asked Shi Qingjue.

"Boss, do you have any ideas about the source of the gold bricks?"

"There are a few, but I'm not sure yet. After you go down, you have to see clearly the distribution and number of gold bricks."

"it is good."

After tying them up, Jiang Li and He Qingfeng put Yuzhu Lin down. Although Shi Qingjue was also very curious, he was the boss after all, and he had to take care of Tieniu.

Jiang Li watched Yuzhu Lin disappear into the darkness of the well. After a while, he felt the rope being pulled twice, and then he and Tieniu immediately pulled Yuzhu Lin up.

But at this time, it was much heavier than when I put it down.

After Yuzhulin came up, they found out how much he weighed.

It is heavier than thirty-two gold bricks.

A gold brick costs fifty taels. Adding the gold bricks they brought earlier, they have more than one thousand six hundred taels of gold, which is more than fifteen thousand taels of silver.

After talking about this matter with Shi Qingjue, Shi Qingjue sighed.

"I'm afraid we can't keep this money."

"what happened?"

He Qingfeng, who was so happy, couldn't laugh anymore.

Shi Qingjue's expression became serious.

"There are two possibilities for this gold. First, it belongs to the person who died in this house, and it was hidden in the well for some reason. Second, it belongs to some thief or rich man who hid it when he saw that no one lived in this place. At the bottom of the well."

"Why do you have to say that someone is hiding at the bottom of the well? When I looked at the bottom of the well before, I didn't see anything."

Jiang Li asked.

If someone really put it directly at the bottom of the well and then covered it with soil, the rain for so long would have washed it away and exposed it long ago.

Shi Qingjue explained again at this time.

"Of course I'm not sure, but I have a hypothesis. Before contacting me, this was a dry well. I think someone went down into the well when the water level was very low and built the water inlet with gold bricks. Groundwater couldn't get in. Naturally, it became a dry well. It rained heavily a few days ago, and the gold bricks were unstable for many years, so they were washed away, and there was water in the well."

After Shi Qingjue finished speaking, several people suddenly realized. There is indeed room for maneuver. He Qingfeng thought about it and asked again.

"But that said, it must be built after the owner of the house is dead, otherwise it will be discovered anyway. Then it cannot be the owner of the house."

"Because we still don't know how the owner of this house died. If the owner knew that he was about to die and hid some gold, it is possible. We will make medicine for Tieniu later, and we have to investigate."

After Shi Qingjue finished speaking, he saw everyone staring at the gold in a depressed mood. He stared too.

This money can solve their urgent needs.

So, Shi Qingjue picked up a gold brick.

"However, if we do work for him, it should be okay to get a piece of gold as payment. Anyway, more gold should be washed into the river, and this gold cannot block the bottom of the well."

"Okay!"

Several people became happy again.

Tieniu is more seriously ill this time, but with gold, they don't have to worry about money. They just have to wait for Tieniu to pass today's dangerous period.

All the gold bricks were hidden in Jiang Li's storage space. Only one piece had some corners cut off with scissors so that it could be exchanged for silver coins.

The person who went was naturally He Qingfeng. After all, his temperament was there, and it would not make anyone suspicious if he just took out some gold.

In addition to various necessities, food, Boss Shi's soft sword was also redeemed, and everyone's clothes were bought. The previous clothes were all used to clean the room, and they were really worn out after being washed, so they basically didn't change their clothes recently.

If they didn't take a shower every day, they wouldn't be able to smell it.

Immediately afterwards, He Qingfeng hurriedly bought a carriage and fodder so that they could continue their operations until Tieniu's illness was almost healed.

The yard of this house is quite large, and it is more than enough for a carriage to be placed in it.

Tieniu had already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, and he didn't wake up until night.

His health is indeed better than that of ordinary people, but once he gets sick, he is also much heavier than ordinary people.

After waking up, Tieniu still felt weak and dizzy. He opened his eyes and tried to move.

Then I saw a horse's face outside the window.

Bull-headed horse-faced man, I have gone to the underworld.

Is it over like this before revenge has been avenged?

Tieniu thought this in his heart, and then thought that if he talked to the Lord of Hell about this matter, he would at least return to the underworld to take revenge.

However, he still had little strength, and it was difficult for his hands to support his body. After finally getting up, he saw Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng lying on the ground under the moonlight.

The two people were different at this time. Although they were lying on the ground, there was a good quilt spread on the ground.

In this situation, are they willing to throw such a good quilt on the ground to cover it?
  Thinking this, Tieniu also looked at his quilt. This quilt was no longer the coarse quilt like before, but replaced with a warmer and more comfortable quilt.

Does the underworld still have this configuration? Did Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng voluntarily go to the underworld in exchange for it? Can't? Are these two worth two quilts?
  Suddenly, Tieniu saw a white figure floating outside the window.

He couldn't understand this figure.

Tieniu supported his body, got out of bed, stood up, walked to the window, and saw the figure jumping into the well.

Beside the well, there is a man in black clothes.

Black and white impermanence?

Tieniu thought so, but he didn't have enough strength, so he fell down and hit Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng.

"Sneak attack!"

Shi Qingjue shouted and jumped up from his sleep.

Soon, Jiang Li and Yu Zhulin also ran over and looked around.

"what happened?"

Jiang Li asked, only to see He Qingfeng and Shi Qingjue lifting up Tieniu and trying to lift it to the bed.

He Qingfeng glanced at Jiang Li.

"It was the Iron Bull that got up in the middle of the night and hit us."

"No, outside the window, Ma Mian..."

Tieniu pointed to the horse.

The four people laughed, and then Yu Zhulin went over and lit the lamp.

After being woken up, they no longer had the time to tease Tieniu and directly told them what was going on.

Then, Jiang Li said that he went to find an agent today.

"The agent said that this house used to be owned by a rich man named Sun Baozhen. Sun Baozhen was childless and henpecked, so he bought a house here to hide his daughter in a golden house. But suddenly one day, Sun Baozhen took away three thousand taels of gold, and then After not going home for a few days, his wife came over and found that Sun Baozhen and the hidden girl had died in the house, and their deaths were quite miserable. Then the place became a haunted house. His wife didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore. Back to my parents’ house.”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, Shi Qingjue continued.

"There is no information from here. We plan to go find the city lord tomorrow and ask carefully. If we really can't find anything, we will treat the gold as a bounty and continue on our way."

After saying this, He Qingfeng told Tieniu to rest peacefully and nothing happened.

But Tieniu was still puzzled by the white figure he saw. If this is not the underworld, then the people outside may be people.

"I just saw two people outside the window. One black and one white."

"people?"

Shi Qingjue felt a little strange when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Li again. Jiang Li is capable of scaring people.

But Jiang Li shook his head and said that this time it had nothing to do with him.

Yuzhulin said.

"Maybe I was too weak and saw it wrong."

"I'm not mistaken, it's over the well."

Tieniu said this again, and several people looked into the well from the window. But it was empty over there at this time, with nothing there.

Jiang Li turned around.

"Did you read it wrong?"

"I saw it right. A white figure jumped into the well, and a black figure was at the edge of the well."

Tieniu insisted on this, and Jiang Li laughed.

"Jumping into a well? It can't be a ghost, right?"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Li didn't think it was funny.

Just when they discovered gold from the well, a figure jumped into the well. Isn't this a coincidence?

Shi Qingjue shook his head.

"There are no ghosts in this world, so what are you afraid of?"

"That's right, Tieniu must have seen it wrong."

He Qingfeng also said the same thing.

Then, He Qingfeng asked Shi Qingjue again.

"How about, boss, you go take a look?"

"I?"

Shi Qingjue was a little surprised, but Jiang Li and Yu Zhulin also nodded.

Such is the fate of the boss.

Shi Qingjue thought for a moment and said to Jiang Li.

"Xiaoyue, please test the good or bad luck."

"it is good."

Jiang Li threw the copper coin, but the result was bad.

Now a few people felt uneasy again.

Shi Qingjue swallowed and then said.

"How about... let's go see it together?"

"No, boss, you are so powerful, you can do it alone."

Jiang Li said without thinking.

Although she is a materialist with a higher education, since there are immortal cultivators in this world, it is not uncommon for ghosts to exist.

Shi Qing would never be happy.

“Either come along or throw your money in.”

Money or life?

Several people made a choice and walked together to the well.

They said they had arrived together, but they still encouraged Shi Qingjue to stretch his head and take a look.

Shi Qingjue grabbed the hands of He Qingfeng and Jiang Li.

"Hand in hand, watch together, no one can run away."

After he spoke, several people stretched their heads to look in.

In the well, a figure in white clothes looked up at them.
