Chapter 492: An Family’s Treasure
In the box was a blood-stained cloth bag, and Su Qing was very familiar with this cloth bag. It belonged to Su Jianguo and was sewn by Li Wan herself for Su Jianguo. There were also a few wintersweet flowers embroidered on the cloth bag. Li Wan liked wintersweet very much. There were also wintersweet flowers embroidered by Li Wan on Su Qing's clothes, which were exactly the same as the wintersweet flowers on the cloth bag!
So, Su Shengjun really fell off the cliff that year, so was he saved by this person who stayed behind? Su Qing opened the cloth bag and saw some medicine inside, some ointments and powders for treating injuries. She pursed her lips, put the cloth bag in the box, and continued to read the letter.
It turned out that Su Shengjun really fell off the cliff that year. However, Su Shengjun was lucky. Although he was seriously injured, he was hanging on the tree. However, he received timely treatment from the person who stayed behind, so he saved his life.
Su Shengjun's life was saved, but because of the impact on his head, Su Shengjun lost his memory and could not remember anything. In addition, his waist was seriously injured and he could no longer walk.
The person left behind was guarding the An family's treasure all by himself under the cliff, and he was really lonely. Although Su Shengjun had amnesia and was paralyzed, he was a companion to him, so he naturally took good care of him. As a result, the two became good friends.
But the good times did not last long. Three years later, Su Shengjun caught a high fever. This was the inner area of Baihua Mountain, and the elderly people left behind had no way of sending the paralyzed Su Shengjun out of the mountain for treatment. So, although the people left behind tried their best to treat him, Su Shengjun eventually died. The grave not far from the wooden house was Su Shengjun's.
Although Su Shengjun had lost his memory, he still missed his family. He firmly believed that he had a family and that they were waiting for him to come home. So before he died, Su Shengjun asked those who stayed behind to keep his cloth bag and not burn it. In case his family could find him one day in the future, they might be able to recognize him by the cloth bag.
After reading the letter, Su Qing sighed deeply, looked at the mummy on the wooden bed, and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
From these three letters, Su Qing learned that the person left behind died of poisoning. Because he was too old and his eyes were blurry, he accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms and eventually died of poisoning. These three letters were left behind by him before his death.
Su Qing came to this world and took over the body of her original self. Now she has truly regarded Li Wan and Su Shengjun as her own parents. Therefore, for Su Qing, this person left behind is her father's savior.
Su Qing dug a hole next to Su Shengjun's grave so that this left-behind man could rest in peace.
Now, Su Shengjun has been buried. Su Qing does not plan to move Su Shengjun's grave. Now, she and Li Wan are no longer in Lihua Village. Except for the mother and daughter, I am afraid that none of the remaining people in the Su family really treat Su Shengjun. Even if Su Shengjun's grave is moved to Lihua Village, I am afraid that no one will go to worship it. As for Beijing, Su Qing does not plan to let Li Wan know about this. Now Li Wan has a new life. Neither she nor Gu Xinsheng wants Li Wan to be hurt again because of the past.
Let Su Shengjun rest in peace in Baihua Mountain with the old man who stayed behind. She can come to pay tribute to him often in the future.
After burying the people left behind, Su Qing returned to the wooden house. Following the perspective of the surrounding plants, she quickly found the switch of the entrance to the treasure trove. Although she did not intend to embezzle these things, Su Qing was very curious about how many things Grandpa An had left in Baihua Mountain, so much so that An Zhihan's uncle and second uncle were still obsessed with it and sent people to Baihua Mountain to look for treasure after so many years.
The location where the An family treasure was placed was just below the wooden house. As the switch was turned on, a wooden box on the wooden bed in the wooden house moved to the side, revealing a hole with a stone staircase winding down.
Su Qing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly upon seeing this. The stone steps were carved very neatly and didn't look like they were built in a hurry. It seemed that Old Master An of the An family had already found a treasure hiding place in Baihua Mountain a long time ago. That's why he left those things that he couldn't take away here. The person who stayed here to watch over the things must be a very loyal servant of Old Master An, otherwise, he wouldn't have been guarding here for decades.
After opening the cave entrance and waiting for a while, Su Qing took out a flashlight from the space and walked down the stone steps.
The stone steps were not too long, and soon Su Qing arrived at the stone chamber where the treasure was hidden.
The stone chamber was not very big, only about 30 square meters in size. However, there were quite a few things placed in it. Piles of boxes occupied almost four-fifths of the area of the entire stone chamber. The boxes were stacked one on top of another, more than one person tall.
Su Qing did not open the boxes manually, but controlled the vine to take a rough look into the boxes. Various antique paintings and calligraphy, porcelain ornaments, pearls and gems, as well as large and small yellow croakers, and even a lot of precious fabrics were neatly placed in the boxes.
Su Qing couldn't help but be amazed. When the An family left Xiyuan County for Xiangcheng, they must have taken away a lot of things, otherwise they would not have become the wealthy family in Xiangcheng today. However, the number of things they left in Baihua Mountain was astonishing. This showed how wealthy the An family was back then. Not to mention the big and small yellow croakers, just the antique calligraphy and paintings, any few of which would be very valuable in a few years.
Thinking about how so many things the An family's eldest and second uncles had been looking for but couldn't find, and finally they fell into An Zhihan's hands, Su Qing couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart. If they knew about this, they would probably hate Grandpa An to death.
However, Su Qing did not sympathize with Mr. An at all. Just based on Mr. An's attitude towards An Zhihan's family, it was enough for Su Qing to have a bad impression of him.
After walking around the stone chamber, Su Qing left the stone chamber, closed the entrance of the stone chamber again, put the three letters and the wooden box on the wooden table into the space, and then left the wooden house.
After paying homage to Su Shengjun and the man who stayed behind at their graves, Su Qing headed back to the grove where she had come from.
At this time, the snakes that were tied up by Su Qing were still struggling. When they saw Su Qing coming, they looked at her coldly and spit out their tongues at her. Su Qing glanced at the snakes indifferently, then climbed up the cliff using the vine rope that she had used to come here.
There was actually a valley under the cliff, but the way out of the valley was very long. Su Qing was too lazy to take a detour, so she simply climbed up. Just after Su Qing left, the vines that had originally bound the snakes under the cliff fell to the ground one after another. The snakes, who were now free, hissed unwillingly at Su Qing's departure, but in the end they had no choice but to scatter.
