The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 6 Wilderness Treasure Hunt
With all the tools ready, he was about to leave the city. The treasure hunt map was still in his mind. Li Shengli took a look at it. It was relatively short to go out of the city from Andingmen.

Going out with a sack on your back carries some risk, bundling your tools into bundles and repacking them into the sack.

In the end, he wrapped the sack with a moldy overcoat, and he barely packed the things into a luggage bag that he could carry on his back.

After trying a few times, he felt that the binding was still strong, and he didn't stay in the deserted house for too long, so he turned out of the yard with his things on his back.

Avoiding the position of the Armed Forces Department, turned around a bit, and then walked in the direction of Andingmen.

Not far from the city gate, a compound full of buildings caught his attention.

Although there is no plaque, he also roughly knows that this is the legendary compound.

Looking at the young people playing at the gate of the compound, Li Shengli was also a little envious.

If he was reborn in such a compound, he might not be hungry.

Without too much envy, it is right to live your current life well.

Silently walked through the compound area, all the way to the northwest, there were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

Li Shengli's idea of ​​hitchhiking was shattered by the ruthless reality.

Walking through the compound area non-stop, he walked along the unknown dirt road until he reached an uninhabited place, and then found a pile of hay on the side of the road and sat down panting.

For a 17-year-old body, it is a bit overloaded to carry a luggage of thirty or forty pounds.

After breathing steadily, Li Shengli looked at the sun. It was probably almost noon, and the exact time was not clear.

The biological clock in the stomach is roughly accurate, and the two corn buns in the morning have already been digested completely.

He took out the leftover corn bread from last night from his army bag, and put it in the cold water in the kettle.

The burning feeling in my stomach disappeared immediately, and I roughly compared it with the map, and it was just halfway through the journey.

Calculating the time, it will be half an afternoon when we arrive at the place. I took another cornbread from the cloth pocket prepared by my mother Han Jinhua.

This was just made this morning, and it was much softer than last night's steamed bread, and it was also drunk with cold water.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Li Shengli continued on his way with a bite of pickle sticks.

The rest of the journey was all dirt roads. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he came to a mountain range.

Looking at the bleak mountains and forests in winter, Li Shengli felt a little regretful, and the preparations in advance were a little sloppy.

Although the 17-year-old was full of energy, after walking for a long time, his legs were still sore and unbearably sore as if they had been filled with lead.

Taking off the luggage bag on his back and using it as a cushion, Li Shengli massaged his legs to relieve some fatigue.

As far as the remaining physical strength is concerned, it is still a bit difficult to rush back overnight.

Taking advantage of the break, he ate one and a half steamed buns to replenish his strength, and he looked at the map again.

The red dot marking the mysterious prize is very close to me. Brother Tong should not let me dig a grave in this barren place.

Tomb robbing in this day and age, one must go to the shooting range to eat peanuts.

'Brother Tong, we are a good system, and we are not happy to do things that violate the law and discipline! '

The thoughts in his mind were ignored again, and after scanning the barren hills in front of him, Li Shengli chose his direction and continued his treasure hunt.

In the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing, there are many short shrubs. It is better along the side of the road, but it is difficult to walk a little deeper.

The sound of thorns scraping his clothes was always lingering in his ears, and after a while, there was a "stab" sound, and the blue overalls on his body were scratched.

This is all right, if there is no satisfactory harvest, after returning home, I will inevitably be served by my mother's big neck.

With a slight sigh, Li Shengli didn't care about the big neck in the future, and continued to go up the mountain.

After climbing for a while, he finally stood at the position of the red dot.

Looking at the gravel under his feet, he patted the tools behind him. It seemed that soil work was inevitable.

Looking around, there was still no one there. Li Shengli wanted to take advantage of the limited sunlight to get rid of the musty smell on things.

Before the soil work, he hung the contents of the sacks on the bushes one by one for simple drying.

After dealing with these, he picked up the rusty foreign pickaxe and engineer shovel and walked to the red dot.

Because the soil had been moved before, and the site was halfway up the mountain, there was not much moisture in the soil. With the marching pickaxe in hand, the difficulty of excavation was not great.

It's just that things were buried a little too deep, and when dug down fifty or sixty centimeters, the dry sand turned into cold wet soil.

Li Shengli still didn't see his mysterious prize, and the wet soil was dug out, and the effect of the small pickaxe became smaller.

As the depth increases, because the excavated pits are not large, the more you dig down, the more effort you will consume.

I tried it with a small foreign pick, but there was nothing under ten centimeters.

Li Shengli, who was a little helpless, could only expand the range, and after a lot of effort, he barely put himself in the pit.

After digging to a depth of seventy or eighty centimeters, he found some broken and decayed pieces of cloth.

It may be because of the long time, the pieces of cloth in the pit will be broken when touched, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all.

After digging for another [-] to [-] centimeters, a complete piece of black cloth appeared in his hands.

I rubbed it lightly with my hands, it was probably oilcloth, but it turned black after a long time.

With the big prize in sight, Li Shengli began to dig quickly after taking a sip of the little cold water left.

Not long after, the tail of an iron box appeared in his field of vision.

Because the oilcloth on the outer layer was damaged, the iron box was almost corroded. With a little force on the small foreign pick in his hand, the iron sheet was crushed like a biscuit.

The grand prize still did not come into view, and what was exposed was still a piece of black cloth, which was carefully lifted off.

Li Shengli began to curse in a dirty manner.

'Brother Tong, this is really a big prize, but isn't such a big prize a bit of a bully? '

There was still no reply to the exchange of consciousness, and Brother Tong remained silent in a cold manner.

The reason for Li Shengli's scolding was not that the award was bad, but that it was too good.

The black cloth is still a discolored oilcloth, but a huge gold brick is wrapped under the black cloth.

Looking at the shape, it is the kind of 25 kilograms or [-] kilograms of pressured gold bricks.

This is the first time Li Shengli has seen the real thing. He really has no impression of how heavy it is or what its specifications are.

Not to mention fifty kilograms of gold bricks, even 25 kilograms, he would not be able to carry them back.

Looking at the darkening sky, Li Shengli stopped his thoughts, took a small ax with a handle from the outside of the pit, and struck down at the huge gold brick.

Tools cannot be discarded, and the risk of transporting huge gold bricks back to the city alone is too high.

Li Shengli, who never stopped doing anything, simply came to dismember him on the spot.

"Which grandson said that the gold bricks are soft, come to the master, you have to give him a few big mouths."

After a slash, he looked at the vertical and horizontal ax marks on the tail of the gold brick, and cursed out of breath.

Although the small ax was a little rusty, the blade was still sharp. After a dozen chops, there was no curl at all. Obviously, the steel fire was also good.

It's just that the gold bricks in front of him are quite strong, and even though I hacked them, they were not separated.

Looking at the blushing sky, Li Shengli was a little anxious. If he couldn't take his things away, he would have to bury them here. When it got dark, it would be difficult to do things.

In order to dismember the gold bricks as soon as possible, he began to hack and chop in the pit like crazy, and it took a lot of effort before he managed to cut off the first piece of gold.

Putting the irregular gold nugget into his trouser pocket, Li Shengli continued to work hard, and after cutting the second nugget, he was exhausted.

Wrapping the remaining gold bricks in an oilcloth indiscriminately, he climbed out of the pit with some difficulty.

After looking around, I found a stone weighing fifty or sixty kilograms, threw it into the pit, and began to restore the pit to its original state.

When the sun in the sky was halfway down, Li Shengli restored the earth pit scribbled.

He picked up some weeds to cover the pit, and after stepping on it a few times, he began to pack up the coats and blankets hanging on the bushes.

After the luggage was packed, the sky was already getting dark, so I roughly estimated the weight of the gold nuggets in the two trouser pockets.

Only then did Li Shengli show a rewarding smile.

Regardless of whether it was realized or not, with these two items in my pocket, I felt much more at ease, and even the pain in my stomach was no longer unbearable.

Taking advantage of the little remaining skylight, Li Shengli covered the pit again, swept it several times with shrub branches, and then slowly descended the mountain.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, on a boulder, he shaped the gold nugget with an axe, and smashed the irregular gold nugget into a flat square shape.

He just sat down against the boulder and started dinner.

I roughly estimated the time, and it was dark in early winter, about five or six o'clock.

At the speed since then, it will be the middle of the night when I go home that night.

Counting the physical exertion and the rest in the middle, it might be possible to walk until the daylight.

Li Shengli, who was in a good mood, also had a great appetite, and ate two and a half corn buns in one go.

When I felt a little full, I drank the cold water in the kettle until there was only one bottom left.

With a luggage bag under his buttocks and his back against a boulder, Li Shengli felt very at ease.

He took two still irregular gold nuggets from his trouser pocket and weighed them lightly.

One piece is more than three taels, and the other is more than half a catty. Although I don't know the specific gold price, it should be enough for full stomach.

For items that are too heavy, he can't estimate the weight, but for items that are lighter, he still feels good in his hand.

Because it was necessary to grab medicine before, the lighter the thing, the more accurate his estimation was.

Eighty-nine taels of gold in hand, looking back at the mountainside, he resolutely chose to go home that night.

Although it was only in the suburbs of Beijing, he didn't know if there were carnivorous animals in the mountains now.

He didn't have the courage to stay in the mountains alone.

After a short rest, Li Shengli didn't want to delay any longer, so he hurriedly got up and started on the road.

Trekking almost all night is still a huge burden on the 17-year-old body who has recently suffered from hunger.

Because there is a road, it is easy to identify the direction. After going down the mountain, Li Shengli walked towards the city quickly by recovering some physical strength.

After walking for about ten minutes, a cry for help sounded.

It was already dark at this time, and there was a sudden cry for help in the mountains and forests at night, which made Li Shengli's hair stand on end for a moment.

Immediately, he pulled out the small ax from behind.

'Rescuing the injured old farmers, every day of joy begins with being a good person.

The reward this time is primary hunting skills. '

Brother Tong reappeared in his consciousness, and immediately made Li Shengli feel at ease.

In the middle of the night, the miserable cries for help made him think he had encountered something dirty!
At this time, Li Shengli didn't bother to pay attention to Brother Tong's reward, so he ran towards the sound of help with a small ax in his hand.

In his heart, saving lives and healing the wounded is his first choice, which is purely influenced by his previous occupation.

It is inevitable that you will be brainwashed if you memorize the great doctor's sincerity over and over again.
