g Lin didn't understand what Chen Yannan meant, but he still stepped forward and punched his palm."Continue"Wang Lin punched again, this time Chen Yanyan's hand quickly retreated, he missed."Can't you...The village chief, back home, was venting his anger freely, but since the Taoist priest had already left, he could only rage impotently.
"I don't believe it's such a coincidence, Wang Lin must have taken it!"
He just talked about buying land with Wang Lin yesterday, and tonight someone dug him up. How could this be so coincidental!
He washed his face, forcing himself to calm down. A smile returned to his face as he strode towards Wang Lin's house.
Knocking on Wang Lin's door, the village chief didn't bother with pleasantries, directly pushing his way into the yard.
Wang Baojun could only busy himself closing the door, following behind the village head. The village head smiled and chatted with Wang Baojun intermittently, his eyes constantly darting around.
Seeing the storeroom door was ajar, his eyes lit up. He turned to Wang Baogun and said, "Brother Baogun, someone borrowed my hoe and iron shovel from home, and they won't be back for a while. Could I borrow yours"
"Whatever the director said, feel free to use it. We don't need it right now."
Then, thanks! I can just get it myself.
Entering the storage room, he picked up the hoe and observed it carefully. Then he asked, "Did you use the hoe yesterday"
Wang Baoyun was taken aback. He hadn't expected the village head to ask that question, but he still smiled and said, "You must be thinking of something else. My wife and I slept all day yesterday, as you know. How could we possibly have used this"
The village chief nodded lightly, hoisted his hoe and iron pickaxe, and was about to leave. But then he remembered that Wang Lin had been at home yesterday. It would be better to ask him directly, just in case he could glean some information.
He casually mentioned Wang Lin, learning that Wang Lin hadn't gone out and had been staying at home all day. He nodded slightly, then added, "Which room is he in I'd like to have a private chat with him."
Wang Baoyun didn't think much, readily agreeing, "He's in Xi Wu, follow me."
Before he even reached the door, Wang Baojun called out, "Xiao Lin! The director wants to have a chat with you!"
Under Wang Baojun's lead, the director directly entered Wang Lin's room. Looking at the furnishings in the room, he frowned slightly. They were all old objects, and there was a faint smell of mildew.
There's nothing we can do about it. Wang Lin's parents have lived in the village their whole lives, they are simple farmers who have always repaired things whenever possible. They only throw something away and buy a new one if it can't be fixed.
Looking at the sewing machine in front of him, a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. "Brother Baojun, this sewing machine hasn't been seen for many years. I didn't expect it to be kept in your home."
"Hi! We haven't used this for a very long time, but it hasn't broken, so we haven't been willing to throw it away. Speaking of this sewing machine, it's been over thirty years!"
"Yeah! Time flies, it's already been thirty years in the blink of an eye."
The village chief said with a sigh, just as Wang Lin walked in from the next room. He immediately put away his wistful expression and broke into a smile.
"Xiao Lin is here, the director wants to talk to you."
Wang Baoyun saw Wang Lin and immediately greeted him. Then, he turned to the village head and said, "Headmaster, you two chat. I'll go busy with something else."
"Xiao Lin, what did you do last night"
Wang Lin was taken aback, "So direct" But he still answered honestly, "I was playing on my phone at home all day yesterday. What's up, Director"
"It's nothing, just that someone said they saw you carrying something to the field last night."
The village chief feigned confusion, looking at Wang Lin with bewilderment.
Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat. "Was I seen leaving Impossible! I was very careful. Is the village chief trying to trick me"
He looked at the village chief, smiling innocently, "But I've been home all along. Maybe someone got me mixed up"
"Well, it's possible. The streetlights over there are broken and it's pretty dark. I probably got it wrong."
Wang Lin didn't speak, just smiled faintly at the village chief. The streetlight wasn't broken at all. This dog of a chief was quite smart, cheating him one after another.
The village chief looked at Wang Lin's expression, feeling helpless in his heart, and chuckled softly. "Well, it's alright. You go ahead with your work. I'll be going now."
After the village head left, Wang Lin found his father and asked him what the village head had said.
His father told him about the village head borrowing things, and Wang Lin felt a sense of foreboding after hearing this. Although he had cleaned all the excavation tools and roasted them thoroughly, there would certainly still be traces left behind.
He sighed helplessly, "Well, let's just take it one step at a time!"
The village head returned home and carefully recalled every detail of his conversation with Wang Lin. Wang Lin managed his expressions very well, he couldn't tell anything from him.
"Could it be that I overthought things Let me double-check!"
He placed the borrowed hoe on the table, holding a magnifying glass in his hand and observing it with meticulous care.
There were no discoveries, just some old-fashioned things, probably unused for a long time. Then he put the iron ingot back on the table and began to observe it again.
When he saw the confluence of the chisel and trowel, he finally saw a glimmer of fresh earth from the gap. He excitedly tapped the table.
Damn it, this little punk! He's quite the player! But age is just a number, in the end, I still found him out!
He immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and when the call connected, the village head quickly told the person on the other end his guesses and discoveries. The person on the other end was also very excited after hearing this, saying they would come over to him right away.
If this had happened the day before yesterday, the village head would have definitely taken the message to that Taoist himself. He would have been happy enough just to get rich, but after yesterday's events and seeing Wang Lin's abilities, he couldn't bring himself to take Wang Lin down.
An hour later, the Taoist arrived panting and wheezing. After hearing the village head's message, he ran all the way, arriving at the village head's house as quickly as possible.
After discussing for a while, the Taoist spoke in a sinister tone.
“Are you sure we only need to take down Wang Lin”
"Yes, if Wang Lin was the first to enter the tomb, then everything in the tomb would definitely be in his house. But Wang Lin is very skilled, so we can only leave this to the master."
"No big deal! But we need to change the split from before, since you only provided a piece of information. This time, after we get the treasure, it'll be seven for me and three for you!"
The village head heard the Taoist's words and was furious, but he knew in his heart that his existence was insignificant to the Taoist. He could only suppress his anger and helplessly agree.
"During the day, there are too many people and it's not convenient to make a move. I'll go to his house at night!"
> Everything listens to the master.
The Taoist's mood seemed to have improved, there was not a trace of the gloomy expression he had when he first entered.
Time flew by until it was afternoon. The Taoist priest who had been drinking tea at the village head's house suddenly contorted his face in pain, turned pale and collapsed on the ground, making strange "yi yi ya ya" sounds with his mouth.
This scene scared the village head who was standing next to him. He hurried forward and desperately helped the Taoist priest up, his face full of terror as he said, "Master, what happened to you Please don't scare me!"
The Taoist let out a deep breath, struggling to suppress the pain in his body. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"You dare to poison me!"ever had the chance to taste them. Today, thanks to Brother Meng, I'm fortunate enough to try a few. It's a blessing to be alive three times!""Brother, if you like it, just as long as you're still in...
