Seeing that the ten people were convinced, Li Fugui and Li Fushuan were very satisfied. The two of them looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.
Just like that, the ten people, including Old Dog Song, each received a silver ingot and a small piece of gold that was cut off by a knife. The total sum was about four thousand yuan. Although it wasn't a lot, it was a great fortune for outsiders like them who didn't get a single cent. After the ten people received the treasures, they all hid them and went out happily. These people were also very loyal. After receiving the benefits, they went out and scared the people who were watching the show away. The Li family's old residence quickly regained its peace.
In the east room, Li Rui looked at Li Fushuan proudly and said, "Xiao Rui, look, I didn't do as you said, but didn't I still settle the matter? If we did as you said and gave away half of the treasures, wouldn't we have lost a lot? But I, little brother, used less than a tenth of it and got rid of all of them. How is it? I'm amazing, right? "
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "Little brother, don't be happy too early. You only got rid of the powerful people in the village, but don't forget that there's still the police station. This matter will spread throughout the village tomorrow, including the town's police station. Think about it, when the police station finds out about this, won't they come looking for a share of the profits? "
Li Fushuan's expression changed slightly as he looked at Li Fugui. He obviously knew how powerful the police station was.
Li Fugui said indifferently, "If they come looking for me, then so be it. I'll directly deny it. If it doesn't work, then I'll say that the treasures have already been divided. At most, they'll confiscate the small portion, but we'll still keep the big portion, so we won't lose out."
Li Rui thought to himself, You dare to say that because you haven't seen the methods of the police station, so he reminded him, "Tonight's matter is considered settled, so I should go back. Before I leave, let me remind you again, big brother, the police station is not easy to deal with. If you know how to do things, prepare two gold bars tomorrow morning and go to the police station to find the director. Let him get some benefits and shut his mouth. Once his mouth is shut, the police station will be considered settled and you will have no more worries. If you plan to fool those veterans in the police station, you will definitely suffer a great loss. " Speaking to this point, he wanted to say, "An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth." But on second thought, these uncouth men might not understand this principle, so he restrained himself from saying it.
He bent down to pick up the iron block and said, "This iron block is just the right size. It can be used to cut an iron top and play with it. It can be used to train the body, so I'll take it. Big brother, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
Li Fugui saw that he did not mention the hidden treasures, but only the scrap iron block, so he was very happy. How could he not agree? He smiled and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? Take it, take it, take it. Take it as you wish."
Li Fushuan also looked at him with some disbelief. He thought that this little brother was really rich. He did not put the gold and silver treasures in his eyes. If he said he would not share, then he would not share. Among the people in the clan, he was the most generous. Tsk, tsk, as expected of a city leader, he had seen many big scenes.
After the pleasantries, Li Rui and his father, Li Jianmin, walked out of the east wing and walked to the car parked on the side of the road. Uncle Li Jianmin, Li Fugui, and the other cousins all sent them off.
Although Li Rui came to help tonight, he did not help much, but in the end, he opened up a new idea for Li Fugui and the others. He provided a more pertinent solution to the problem. It was also because of his solution that Li Fugui and his brother were able to settle this matter, so he still had some credit. In addition, he did not care about the unearthed gold and silver treasures at all. He was generous and forthright, so it was easy for him to leave a good impression on others. All these reasons together made everyone in the Li family have a good impression of him. Even if they did not have a good impression of him, at least no one hated him. Therefore, the people sincerely bid farewell to the father and son.
On the way back to the city, Li Jianmin asked in puzzlement, "You wake up at six in the morning and don't get home until nine at night. You also have to work overtime on the weekends. You don't even have time to accompany Qingman, so how can you have time to spin a top?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "I can always squeeze out time."
Li Jianmin curled his lips and did not say anything.
When they reached home, Li Rui parked the car in the garage and jogged back to the bedroom with the iron block.
It was not yet ten, so Qingman was still awake. When she saw him come back, she smiled and said, "How much did you get? Take it out and let me see. " Li Rui smiled and sat down next to her. He held the iron block with both hands and showed it to her. He said, "This is a big treasure. What do you think?" Qingman looked at the black iron block and was slightly stunned. She reached out and touched it and said, "What is this?" Li Rui teased her and said, "A gold block. It's pure gold." Qingman did not believe him and said, "How can it be? How can a gold block be black? Shouldn't it be yellow? Gold does not oxidize, unlike silver which will turn black. "Li Rui smiled and said," There's a layer of ink on the outside. " Qingman was still skeptical. She rubbed the pad of her finger on the iron block a few times. The pad of her finger was clean and there was not a trace of black. She snorted and said, "Stop fooling me."
Li Rui laughed and put the iron block on the windowsill. He didn't explain anything to her for the time being. He took off his clothes, wrapped himself in a towel, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After he came back from the shower, he told her everything that had happened, including the origin of the iron block. In the end, he expressed his opinion, "… Isn't it strange that there's an iron block in the jar that's supposed to be filled with gold and silver? On the other hand, if this iron block did not have the same value as ingots and gold bars, why would its owner put it in the jar? The most important thing was that I found some words carved into the bottom of the iron block, as well as a few shallow lines. There must be something behind it, so I found an excuse to bring it home. I wanted to study it carefully. Maybe I can find something. "
When Lu Qingman heard this, her interest was piqued. She sat up and leaned against the headboard. She waved her hand and said, "Bring it over. Let me take a look. Let me take a look."
Li Rui said, "Don't worry. I'll take it outside and wash it. It'll look better after it's clean." After he finished speaking, he took the iron block and ran to the bathroom. He dipped a brush in water and washed the iron block thoroughly. Then, he brought it back to the bedroom and closed the door. He moved closer to Qingman and the husband and wife looked at the bottom of the iron block together.
Previously, when they were in the east wing of the old house, there were a lot of people and noise. The lighting in the room was not good, so Li Rui could not see the words and lines at the bottom of the iron block. Now that they were in their own bedroom, the fluorescent lights on the roof illuminated the room as if it was daytime. The bottom of the iron block had been washed, so there was no cover. Therefore, they could see it very clearly at a glance.
Li Rui first looked at the strokes that seemed to be words. He held the iron block in his hand and turned it around a few times before he found the so-called front side. Only then could he recognize the complicated strokes. It was indeed words. There were three words, but they were engraved backwards. Li Rui could only recognize the first word as "mountain." The second word seemed to be the word "god." The third word was completely indecipherable. It seemed to be a traditional Chinese character. It was a traditional Chinese character, and it was engraved backwards. Naturally, it was difficult to recognize.
Lu Qingman shouted, "What's written on this' mountain … '? The words seem to be backwards. I can't tell. "
Li Rui nodded. It was not difficult to solve this problem. He just had to smear ink or dye on the bottom of the iron block and then stamp it on the paper. It was like a stamp. Then, he could see the true face of the third word. However, he was not in a hurry. He first looked at the other lines. Looking carefully, he saw that on the right side of the bottom of the iron block, below the three words, there were two curved Yin lines. They meandered from the top right to the bottom left. He could not see what they meant. On the left side of the two Yin lines, there were a few strokes used to draw the outline of a forest and a village.
"What do the lines on both sides of the word mean?"
Lu Qingman suddenly discovered a new world. She stretched out her jade finger and pointed to the left and right of the three words.
Li Rui looked up. Sure enough, on the left and right of the three words, there was a curve that meandered downwards. The two curves met at the top, and the intersection was right above the word "mountain." He was at a loss. He also could not see the meaning of these two lines.
"Huh? That's strange. What do these messy lines mean?"
Lu Qingman frowned. Her face was full of confusion.
Li Rui did not hesitate any longer. He got up and took out the ink from the dresser in the corner. His house had two rooms and two living rooms. Although the area was not small, there was a closet along the wall. In addition, there was a Simmons bed, a dresser, and a bedside table. There was not much space left. Therefore, he could not put a desk. He had no choice but to put all his office stationery in the dresser. Fortunately, Qingman was not a woman who liked to dress up. She did not use the dresser. There was not much makeup in the dresser.
He opened the lid of the ink and wanted to put the bottom of the ink block into the ink box. However, he found that he could not put it in. He could only give up. After thinking about it, he simply put his right index finger into the ink box. He dipped it in the ink and then smeared it on the bottom of the ink block. This was not very efficient, but he had no choice.
After busying himself for a while, he finally smeared the bottom of the ink block. Li Rui was very happy. He took out a piece of A4 printing paper and put it on the dresser. He held the metal block with both hands and used the bottom of the block to press heavily on the paper. After pressing it down, he paused for a moment. After pressing it a few times, he slowly lifted it up.
Lu Qingman had already come over. She stared at the printing paper without blinking. Her pretty face was full of curiosity that had never been seen before.
Once the metal block was removed, the red print on the paper appeared in front of the husband and wife.
