Chapter 62 Digging for Treasures
On weekdays, Sun Jinzhong often stays out at night.

On this late night, he still had to go outside. Cousin Chen Dongmei and his wife had long been accustomed to such things.

Although she felt a little unhappy, she didn't say much with Chen Hai by her side, she just told Sun Jinzhong and Chen Hai not to do bad things.

As for the shovel that Chen Hai asked him to take, Sun Jinzhong took it out secretly while his family was not paying attention.

After all, farm tools such as hoes and shovels are usually placed in the small side room on the side of the main house.

Day and night defense, home thieves are difficult to prevent.

Sun Jinzhong wanted to steal his own shovel, which was naturally a trivial matter for him.

"Old cousin, the two of us, are we going to dig for treasure?"

Although he didn't know the specific purpose of their trip, Sun Jinzhong was still very interested.

Carrying a shovel, walking on the dirt road north of Yanbei Village, he tentatively opened his mouth and asked Chen Hai.

"Brother Zhong, you should know the location of the sink at the back of your village, the two of us, go there now!"

"It's my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the road, please help me lead the way ahead!"

Without replying to Sun Jinzhong's question, Chen Hai smiled and ordered.

"Sink? Is it the one near the pile of gold?"

"Isn't that place the place where Li Hanchu encountered dirty things?"

"Old cousin, you won't tell me that the two of us carry shovels and are going to dig there?"

With a suspicious face on his face, Sun Jinzhong couldn't help but shuddered, and he opened his mouth to confirm with Chen Hai.

"That's right, it's there!" Chen Hai nodded affirmatively, and Chen Hai responded.

"Old Cousin, there is Li Hanchu's lessons learned there. It seems that it is not good for the two of us to run there with shovels on our backs at night!"

"How about we two go over there tomorrow during the day?"

Sun Jinzhong, who was still full of interest before, was visibly listless at the moment, even when he walked, he began to hesitate.

"Brother Zhong, the two of us went there to dig treasure!"

"Although the place is desolate, it is still somewhat populated during the day."

"Go there during the day, if you are lucky, what do we dig up, do you want everyone to know?"

Looking at Sun Jinzhong's eyes with special meaning, Chen Hai smiled and joked: "Isn't it because you are afraid when you go there at night?"

"Your cousin, I am known as Master Chen. With me by your side, you are afraid of being a fool!"

When saying this, Chen Hai also gave him a contemptuous look by the way.

"Old cousin, look at what you said!"

"Those who know your cousin and me don't know that I'm so courageous that I dare to steal cattle at night!"

"Isn't it just running to the sink to dig things? You dare to go, why don't I dare!"

Sun Jinzhong couldn't be excited at all. Hearing what Chen Hai said, he quickly defended himself.

Perhaps in order to prove his boldness, he simply took off his vest and hung it on the handle of the shovel. Just like this, he was shirtless and led Chen Hai to walk forward quickly.

It took the two of them nearly 10 minutes to travel three or four miles.

When Sun Jinzhong and Chen Hai rushed to the sink, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

Below is the farmland, and on the side of the tank is a pile of gold.

Here in Liuyuan County, it is a hilly area, and it is almost rare to see the dangerous peaks of Xiongshan Mountain.

In this area, there are more than a dozen large and small hills, the tallest of which is estimated to be about 200 meters above sea level.

The so-called Duijin Mountain is the collective name for this mountain.

"Old cousin, the two of us, where do we start digging?"

In front of the sink, the two stopped, and Sun Jinzhong asked Chen Hai.

He was shirtless, and the vest hanging on the handle of the shovel had been put back on his body.

He seems to be majestic and high-spirited, but he always sneaks a few glances at Chen Hai from time to time, it seems that only when he sees Chen Hai is there, he can barely feel at ease.

"Wait, let me confirm the approximate location first!"

Chen Hai responded.

While speaking, he looked around carefully for a while.

Instead of stepping onto the sink, he walked directly to the side of the hill.

This area is already desolate, and this small hill is also a barren hill.

The distance close to the sink is slightly better, with traces of people trampling on it.

A little more than ten meters ahead, there are thorns everywhere, bushes overgrown, and the patches of thatch are as tall as half a person.

Chen Hai was in front, followed by Sun Jinzhong.

Relying on the shovel in their hands, the two barely opened a way out.

"Ah..." Sun Jinzhong screamed.

"What's the matter?" Turning around, Chen Hai asked.

"There is a snake, it seems to be a ground turtle..."

"Have you been bitten? The wood beetle snake is quite poisonous, you have to send it to the hospital as soon as possible!"

"Old Cousin, I wasn't bitten, I just happened to see this thing slipping by!"

"Then you are a woolen man. When you came here, I reminded you that you'd better wear a pair of overshoes for rainy days. You don't believe in evil, so you have to wear flip-flops."

After giving Sun Jinzhong a supercilious look, Chen Hai scolded with a smile.

He himself wears a pair of yellow rubber shoes on his feet. Although they are not very beautiful, they are practical.

"Old cousin, you didn't tell me earlier that you are coming here, otherwise, when I come out, I will definitely change my shoes!"

"It's just inconvenient to walk around here in flip flops."

"Didn't you say you're here to dig treasure? Haven't arrived yet?"

After a few dry laughs, Sun Jinzhong asked.

"It's just ahead, we'll be there soon!"

"This is the season when snakes come and go, Brother Zhong, you have to be careful!"

Chen Hai responded, as he walked forward, the shovel in his hand kept testing the surrounding area.

Finally, when he tentatively reached the right side of the mountain ridge, there was a lot of recessed area, and he stopped.

"This is the place, Brother Zhong, let's dig directly!"

Pointing to the recessed part, Chen Hai spoke directly and said.

"Is there a treasure hidden here? Cousin, you need to rest first. Just leave the rough work of digging to me!"

This time, Sun Jinzhong became energetic.

With the shovel in his hand, the speed was extremely fast. After only digging down about [-] to [-] centimeters, he had already touched the stone and could not dig any further.

Suspicious in his heart, Sun Jinzhong turned his head, with a questioning look in his eyes, he looked at Chen Hai.

"The layer of sand outside is formed by the deposition of sand washed down by rainwater over the past few decades."

"There are stones inside, so it proves that the place is right."

"Those stones are not a whole piece at all, but some scattered stones deliberately placed to block the cave inside."

"After digging out the layer of sand outside, the two of us can clean up those rocks!"

Chen Hai was naturally not idle, he was also brandishing a shovel.

After feeling Sun Jinzhong's consulting gaze, he opened his mouth to explain to him.
