See this scene.

Dian Wei slowly let go of his breath, and then he dared to take a deep breath.

He turned around and walked towards the bamboo basket, took out a torch, lit it with flint and steel, and walked into the bear cave holding the torch.

The fire dispelled the darkness, and the bear cave became brighter.

Dian Wei frowned and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. The smell in the cave was extremely unpleasant, including urine, feces, and corruption.

Cack!

There was a sound under Dian Wei's feet. He looked down and moved his feet away. A broken bone appeared on the ground.

It's hard to tell whether they are the bones of wild beasts or human bones.

The bones are covered with tooth marks.

Dian Wei raised his head and glanced around, and found piles of bones in the cave. No wonder the smell was so bad.

"Where are the gold, silver and jewelry?"

Dian Wei looked left and right, kicked away the pile of bones, and suddenly found a skull, which looked more and more like a human skull.

"This black bear has eaten people..."

Think about it, a bag of gold and silver jewelry would not appear in a bear cave for no reason. Someone must have been killed and dragged into the cave by the black bear as a snack, along with his luggage.

Dianwei used three strokes to remove all the bones near the skull, and a corner of clothing material was exposed from the ground.

"Found it!" Dian Wei was overjoyed.

A bulging package came into view!

Dianwei opened it and took a look. Under the firelight, the moment the package was spread out, a bright light suddenly burst out in various colors, making the bear cave as bright as day and brilliant.

Brilliant gold bars, glittering silver ingots, strings of cat-eye-sized pearls...

"so much!"

Dian Wei was shocked. His first reaction was not to be overjoyed because he got a windfall, but rather to be shocked.

After counting...

There are six gold bars, each weighing one pound.

There are twelve silver ingots, each weighing about 10 taels.

There are seven pearl necklaces, each with more than twenty pearls.

In addition, there is a pair of bracelets, made of rare blood chalcedony, and its luster is still bright and attractive.

Dian Wei quickly covered it!

Then, he took a breath of cold air.

My eyesight is limited and I cannot estimate the total price of this package of gold and silver jewelry. In short, it is a lot.

"I don't know who the dead rich man is, but he actually carries so much property with him..."

There was too much money, which made Dian Wei feel a little weak.

If someone finds this property in his possession, he may be killed.

Dian Wei carefully inspected the gold bars and silver ingots again, and suddenly discovered a detail. Both the gold bars and the silver ingots were engraved with a lifelike totem, a blue-eyed tiger.

Dian Wei had never seen gold bars or silver ingots before and wondered if there were totems on them.

But it is obvious that these gold and silver are most likely property belonging to a certain force, and they are marked with a mark.

"Blue-eyed tiger, I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

Dian Wei couldn't help but trembled. The guest in green shirt whom Old Man Zheng entertained had a green-eyed tiger embroidered on his clothes, which was exactly the same as the totem on the gold and silver.

"These belongings may not be ownerless."

Although the rich man in the bear cave is dead, it doesn't mean that no one is looking for this windfall.

Realizing this, Dian Wei felt that the money could not be spent casually and that he had to be careful.

It would be best to melt all the gold and silver and recast them.

"This seven-string pearl necklace does not have any markings, so it should be able to be cashed in without risk." Dian Wei thought.

Pick up the package and walk out of the bear's cave.

Dian Wei looked at the black bear, stepped forward, chopped off four bear paws with a wood-splitting ax, and threw them into the bamboo basket together with the package.

Then, he found a place, dug a hole, and buried a bag of belongings deeply. He only took away a silver ingot and a string of pearl necklaces.

A few days later.

Whenever Dian Wei had free time, he would go to the major shops on the street.

At noon that day, the autumn wind was blowing coldly.

There was a lot of noise coming from a gambling house.

Dian Wei looked up and slowly walked into the gambling house. There were many people gambling inside.

Dian Wei wandered between the gaming tables, looking here and there.

People thought he was here to gamble, but no one chased him away.

After all, he is 1.6 meters tall, not short. If you don't look carefully at his face, he looks like an adult at first glance.

Suddenly, he saw a man throwing a silver ingot onto the gambling table and shouting "bigger" boldly.

Dian Wei hurriedly got closer and took a closer look at the silver ingot, and found that there was also a blue-eyed tiger totem on the silver ingot, which was the same as the silver ingot in his arms, and there was no difference.

"It seems that I have overthought it, and the silver ingot looks like this." Dian Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This way.

That windfall can be spent at will.

"As long as you are careful and don't expose your wealth, there should be no big problem." Dian Wei finally let go of his hanging heart and couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

A calm and regular life began again.

Dian Wei rolled dice, took wax pills, ate exotic animal meat, and practiced writing and painting every day.

A few days later, Old Man Zheng suddenly told all the apprentices that he had to go out for something and would be back in a month or so to tell everyone what to do and not to slack off in their practice.

All affairs of Zheng's house are left to his wife to take care of. To receive wax pills and buy exotic animal meat, go to the master's wife.

This was the first time Dian Wei heard that Old Man Zheng had a wife. He had never seen this wife before.

After asking around, I found out that the master's wife has always lived in the inner courtyard and rarely appeared in public.

Old Man Zheng left Cangtong Town the next day, and with him were apprentices such as Zhao Renjie, Li Kuo, Rong Ran, and more than thirty people, all of whom were masters in the yard.

They escorted cartloads of grain out of Cangtong Town.

There are a lot of fertile fields around Cangtong Town. On average, each person can get more than ten acres. It is definitely a large-scale grain production area. Selling grain is the main source of income for the people.

In Cangtong Town, the vast majority of people make a living by farming, and a few do business.

Among a population of tens of thousands, there are not many people who actually learn martial arts.

In the courtyard of the Zheng Mansion, new people come in from time to time, and old apprentices leave from time to time and stop studying. The number of people never increases, and there are only a few hundred apprentices coming and going.

"These people are all masters!"

Dian Wei watched the food convoy leave, and thus confirmed which people had a higher level.

Just like Sun Shan, he is not qualified to follow Old Man Zheng, as he is obviously not strong enough.

Although Old Man Zheng and others left, Dian Wei was not greatly affected and his life went on as usual.

However, when he received the wax pills and exotic animal meat, he did not see his wife. A maid came to replace her and did the work.

In the blink of an eye, half a month flew by.

Dian Wei still didn't feel the birth of "blood energy" in his body, so he was not in a hurry and insisted on studying hard and practicing hard.

Woohoo...

It's winter, and the wind is biting.

That evening, a strong wind suddenly blew, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sky became dark and chaotic.

"Why is it like a summer thunderstorm?"

Dian Wei was practicing painting in the study room of the Qin Mansion at the moment. A strong wind blew in the door, causing the pages of the book to fly and make a rustling sound.

Mr. Qin was also reading in the study, looked up at the door, stood up and walked out.

Dian Wei also followed him out and looked up at the sky.

All I saw were dark clouds like ink and billowing like the tide.

The strong wind blew Mr. Qin's arms flying back and forth. For some reason, his brows furrowed tightly and his face became solemn.

"Xiao Wei, hide in the study and don't come out." Mr. Qin turned around, looked at Dian Wei and said seriously.
To be continued...
