Chapter 171 A good show right from the start

Feiyun Mountain is not far from Crescent Moon Mountain, but there are many legends about it that have been passed down.

Because of its treacherous terrain, Feiyun Mountain was once a place where bandits roamed freely, and there are even legends that many bandit dens still remain today, containing a great deal of treasure.

Of course, these are all just legends.

In fact, many villagers followed the trail of the legend to search for it. These days, it's really not easy to live a good life.

Everyone held onto a glimmer of hope; if they found a treasure and managed to sell it, that would be a good thing.

However, as the situation changed, these treasures became a hot potato, and even if they existed, probably no one outside would dare to take them.

Especially in the last two years, the various struggles have reached a fever pitch, and it seems that a result is about to be reached.

As a result, controls in all aspects have become even stricter, and people have become even more contemptuous of these things.

Of course, those red-armbanded individuals confiscated a lot of things from homes during raids, and even more of what they had hidden away in private.

Those large items that are too heavy to move, or difficult to store, these guys destroy them with a flick of their wrist.

What they can't have, no one else can have either.

With this mentality, many precious treasures were lost.

For various reasons, the villagers in Feiyunshan Brigade naturally had less desire to go into the mountains.

Of course, the most important point is that going into the mountains is not easy and there is a high chance of encountering danger.

In the past, some villagers went into the mountains without permission and never came out again; not even their remains could be found.

They were never heard from again.

Therefore, the brigade leaders here later issued a direct order that no one was allowed to enter the mountains without permission, and anyone found doing so would be dealt with seriously!

Unless the entire brigade goes into the mountains together to hunt and obtain wild game, going into the mountains is permitted for that reason.

After all, the mountains are also collective assets, and they should be used when necessary.

These days, opportunities to improve one's life are few and far between.

So when Luo Zixi and Bai Jingyan, such a handsome couple, arrived at Feiyun Mountain in a small jeep, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The whole village was in an uproar.

These days, a small Jeep is practically a game-changer; even county magistrates might not use one often, let alone ordinary people.

Some people have never even seen it.

After all, this is still an era where everyone is struggling to afford bicycles, so the impact of a small jeep is self-evident.

Seeing this, Luo Zixi couldn't help but roll her eyes:

"Hey Comrade Bai, are you trying to make sure everyone knows we're here?"

"That treasure trove is no joke; if it gets discovered, we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingyan smiled and replied:

"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own way of handling it. Anyway, I won't shortchange you on the promised fee. You deserve it."

Bai Jingyan understood perfectly well that it was better for these treasures to fall into Luo Zixi's hands than into someone else's.

After all, this was a woman he really liked.

He would be willing and wholehearted to treat her well.

Although he is the only one who knows about these treasure locations now, if some lucky person were to stumble upon them one day, there would be no way to explain it.

People wouldn't think those things belonged to the Bai family in the past.

Therefore, it would be best if we could dig it out as soon as possible and make the most of it.

At the same time, it can make Luo Zixi happy, so why not?

Upon hearing Lao Bai's words, Luo Zixi couldn't help but purse her lips. She would see what tricks Lao Bai was up to.

She didn't care; once she found the place, she could put everything into her spatial storage with a single thought.

There's no treasure that Luo Zixi can't take away!

Thinking that the space should be able to improve again after obtaining this batch of treasures, Luo Zixi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

I couldn't wait to get to my destination.

However, Bai Jingyan had another excuse for coming this time: to see his cousin.

I heard that his sister isn't doing very well in Feiyun Mountain.

His cousin was from the Bai family in the capital, and they used to have a good relationship; she was also a decent person. He couldn't just stand by and watch his cousin suffer.

This was just something he did on the side; his most important purpose for coming here was to find out the treasure trove for Luo Zixi.

He just needed a suitable excuse.

The jeep slowly came to a stop after entering the village. The two men got out of the car, and the two village leaders from Feiyun Mountain immediately came to greet them.

"Oh, comrades, what brings you here...?"

Bai Jingyan waved his hand gently and said with a smile:

"Comrades, hello. I'm here to see Bai Weiwei, the educated youth. I'm her brother. I was recently transferred to work in a nearby county. I knew she was working in the countryside here, so I came to visit her."

Upon hearing Bai Jingyan's words, many people present immediately changed their expressions.

Some people even felt a sudden chill run down their spines.

Someone who can drive over in a car must be even more powerful than the county magistrate, right?

And he even got a job in the county, so the other party must be a pretty high-ranking official!

Unexpectedly, that educated youth actually had such a powerful relative, who was actually her brother.

This is going to be troublesome...

When the village leaders heard that Bai Weiwei's relatives had come, and that they had arrived in a small jeep, they couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouths.

"Oh... I see. Well, in that case... Bai Zhiqing hasn't been feeling well lately, so we took her to a nearby hospital for treatment. She hasn't come back yet."
