"Uncle Yun, you …" Lin Wanjiang was not an idiot, how could he not understand what the Old Man Yun meant? It was just that he really did not want the Old Man Yun to leave the mountain, because this would go against Old Man Yun's previous oath.
"Child, this is the only thing that I, an old bone, can do for the Party and the people," Old Man Yun looked at Lin Wanjiang as if he was looking at his own child.
"Uncle Yun …" Lin Wanjiang's voice was choked with emotions.
In the past, Old Man Yun had said when he left, that he would no longer care about politics, and even give up the power of his own personal protection. He believed that once a person left, there was no need to waste the country's resources, rather than letting those people do nothing and stay by his side, it would be better to help the nation build up. Otherwise, based on his position back then, he would definitely have close bodyguards at the market that day.
In the beginning, the higher-ups had secretly sent people to protect him, after all, he had made a great contribution, but the old man knew that he had gotten angry after that and had dismissed the staff at home. In this way, the higher-ups did not insist, and only negotiated with a few of the old man's close staff who had followed him for most of his life to settle some work, and also transferred a person to his house to help clean up the vegetables and clean up the house. The old man did not refuse, after all, he really could not do physical work anymore.
Lin Wanjiang knew that if he did as the old man said, he would definitely pull his old face down and run around for his own matters. But Lin Wanjiang really didn't want the old man to look at other people's faces because of him, only, he knew that very few people could change the decision that the Old Man Yun had made.
Since he couldn't change it, he could only bury this favor deep within his heart and express it with his own actions. He then said emotionally, "Uncle Yun, if you don't mind, I'm willing to be your son to send you to death in your old age."
"Be my son?" Old Man Yun was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed. Of course, it wasn't because he was overjoyed, but because he finally found a way out.
It was a matter of course for the father to stand up for his son, and no one could say anything about it.
"Child, it doesn't matter if you are my son or not. I just hope that when the time comes, you will be the son of all the people in Plain Province."
"I will definitely remember your teachings," Lin Wanjiang guaranteed his loyalty just like how he swore that year.
"If this action can benefit the Plain Province, then I, this old bones, will have to use my last bit of strength" Old Man Yun patted Lin Wanjiang's shoulder, "Let's not delay this any further, I will go and take care of this now, that's right, that little brat in your family is not bad, these days, there are not many young people who have this kind of love, we should focus on nurturing him."
"Yes," Lin Wanjiang didn't know why the Old Man Yun favored him so much, but he had to obey the Old Man Yun's words unconditionally.
When saw the Old Man Yun out of the courtyard and turned around, he realized that his courtyard was already brand-new. The overgrown grass was no longer there, and what replaced it were pieces of flat land.
"Such a diligent child, no wonder you have such deep praise from Old Man Yun," Lin Wanjiang nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Xiao Li!" Lin Wanjiang shouted from the courtyard, completely losing his previous decadence. As long as Old Man Yun appeared, he believed that this matter would definitely end nicely, for no other reason but because he was a disciple of the Old Man Yun.
"Uncle Lin, you were looking for me?" Li Wenlong ran in front of Lin Wanjiang in the backyard, her head full of sweat.
"Put down the work in your hands and drink a cup with me," Lin Wanjiang laughed and patted Li Wenlong's shoulders.
"Ah?!" Li Wenlong didn't come back to her senses immediately: Was the leader's thinking jumping so much? Her face was full of worry a moment ago, but now he wanted her to accompany him for a few drinks.
How many drinks?
Oh right, he couldn't remember even if he didn't drink a few cups!
"Uncle Lin, did you bury something in the backyard?" Li Wenlong thought about the jar she found in the backyard that was buried underground. Because she didn't know what it was, Li Wenlong didn't dare to touch it, and wanted to ask Lin Wanjiang about it.
"Buried things?" Lin Wanjiang was stunned for a moment: "I didn't bury anything! What did you find? "
"Just now when I was digging, I accidentally dug into a jar. I don't know what was inside and I didn't dare to touch it." Li Wenlong replied honestly.
Lin Wanjiang was also interested. He had never buried anything, but Mo Xie had never heard her father say that he had buried anything. Could it be that there was really some treasure inside this house?
After Li Wenlong arrived at the backyard, she looked in the direction of Li Wenlong's fingers and indeed discovered a jar that was buried underground. However, because Li Wenlong had not dug it out, he could see the tip of the iceberg.
"Go and get some tools, we'll dig and see," Lin Wanjiang waved his hand at Li Wenlong.
With the owner's permission, Li Wenlong picked up the shovel at his feet and started to dig. The soil was softer, and he could already see the jar, so it did not take him much effort to reveal half of his body.
Upon clearly seeing the upper part of his body, Li Wenlong's interest had calmed down. Looking at the seal, eighty percent of it was a wine jar, which was not some treasure that belonged to him at all, and seeing Lin Wanjiang's interest in the latter, he simply exerted force with his feet and scooped up the dirt. Not long later, the entire wine jar appeared in front of the two of them.
The jar was not very big, it was only about a meter tall, with a round body, with a diameter of around 40 to 50 cm, with its mouth sealed, Li Wenlong did not know what the seal was.
"Come, let's play with it and see if we can move it," Lin Wanjiang said as he reached for the jar first.
"Hmm …" Li Wenlong threw down the shovel, bent over and reached for the bottom half of the jar.
The two of them exerted their strength together, causing the jar to move slightly, but they were unable to move it.
"I think it might be wine inside," Li Wenlong straightened his back and took a deep breath.
"If it was the wine, how heavy could it be, then the two of us wouldn't be able to move it?" Lin Wanjiang wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had been sitting in the office all year round, so how could Lin Wanjiang ever have done anything physical?
"How about we turn it around and roll it over? That way we can save our energy." Li Wenlong looked at Lin Wanjiang, if Lin Wanjiang had his own strength.
"That's true!" Lin Wanjiang lightly patted his head. When nothing happened, he would endure until his mind was clear. Once something happened, his mind would become a paste.
The two of them carefully placed the jar down and slowly rolled into the house.
"What are you doing?" When they were almost to the door, Lin Xuemei came out wearing his apron.
"Hehe, I found the treasure!" Surprisingly, Lin Wanjiang actually started to joke, "Just now, Xiao Li found this jar at the back. There might be good things hidden inside, quickly close the gate and prevent others from coming in!"
"What treasure, it's just a jug of wine. Grandfather said that year …" Lin Xuemei said in a disapproving tone. "Could it be that you forgot …"
"Just a jar of wine?" Lin Wanjiang's interest had also greatly lost. After all, he was also a mortal, and would often dream of certain things, "I thought it was some kind of good thing, but it just so happens that I need Xiao Zhang to accompany me for a drink tonight."
Now that they knew it was wine, their actions became even more gentle. They were afraid that they would accidentally hit the jar.
He entered the house and roasted the mud on the outside. Lifting the lid, a sweet fragrance filled the room.
"En, what a good wine," Lin Wanjiang breathed in his nose exaggeratedly. "Na Na, quickly take something and pour a cup."
Lin Xuemei answered and came out of the kitchen. Just as she walked in front of the wine jar, she stood there, as if she had suddenly thought of something, "Oh yeah, you guys only found the jar, did you not find anything else?"
"Something else? "What else?" Lin Wanjiang was also startled, he did not even know about the bottle of wine, much less what else it contained. "Xiao Li, did you find anything?"
"No!" Li Wenlong was also at a loss.
"Below the wine jar is a half meter long map. If you excavate the soil, there will be a stone slab, and there will be something underneath the stone slab!" After saying that, Lin Xuemei's tone changed, "Hurry, dig it out!"
After saying that, he hurriedly threw down the things in his hands and ran towards the backyard.
Lin Wanjiang and Li Wenlong followed closely behind.
According to what Lin Xuemei said, after digging out the few pots, Lin Wanjiang and Li Wenlong had the same expression of excitement on their faces. After all, they were looking forward to it in their hearts, and although the few of them were not greedy, but if they were able to dig out the treasures, they would be very happy.
Unable to wait any longer, he opened up a jar. After he saw the contents inside clearly, Li Wenlong's face was filled with disappointment. This was not like the legendary horses, gold, silver, or jewelry described in the movies, but rather pieces that were relatively more regular in shape but not very beautiful.
"So these are the ones?!" Li Wenlong replied indifferently, "I thought there was something good inside!"
"Isn't this good stuff?" Lin Xuemei's idea was different from Li Wenlong's. She knew that something that would cause the older generation to spend so much effort to hide would definitely not be a simple thing.
"This should be a piece of silver," Lin Wanjiang picked one up and looked. Although it was already late, Lin Wanjiang was still able to recognize these things based on his knowledge and experience, "Look at the other jars!"
There were a total of five stalls. Compared to the wine vat, they were much smaller. Even so, each vat weighed at least ten pounds of silver.
The key was that when Lin Xuemei opened the last jar, Li Wenlong's eyes popped out. Even though it was already evening, Li Wenlong was able to see the most bewitching of things inside clearly.
