Chapter 43: 【040】Uninvited Guest
The private dining restaurant Zheng Dongliang and his friends booked is called ’Banping Mountain Residence’. The decor is very tranquil with wooden tables and chairs, lantern-shaped lights and wooden windows, creating a great atmosphere.
As they sat down at a round table, Wang Longhu glanced at everyone present and couldn’t help but ask Zheng Dongliang, "How is your friend who got a concussion from the fall? Is it still serious?"
"Not much of a problem after getting stitches. The doctor suggested he stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Otherwise, he would have joined us for dinner tonight." Zheng Dongliang shook his head helplessly. "Zhou Juanjie really brought this on himself this time. Goodness, what treasure did he want to find out of the blue? If it weren’t for you, he might have lost his life."
"Treasure? What treasure?" Wang Longhu asked with a curious expression.
Zheng Dongliang then recounted everything that Zhou Juanjie had told them that night to Wang Longhu.
Only then did Wang Longhu realize that there were actually such secrets hidden in the mountains near Chang Keng Ding. Even though he wasn’t from that era, he was well aware of how wealthy the landlords were back then.
The wealth that they had hidden would undoubtedly be worth millions in today’s terms, and if any antiques were included, the value would be even higher.
"Do you think this kind of thing is true or not?" Zheng Dongliang asked after taking a sip of the tea brought by the waiter.
"Hard to say. At least as someone from Chang Keng Ding, I’ve never heard of such things," Wang Longhu shook his head, but secretly began pondering.
Now that his Lightweight Skill had shown considerable results, perhaps he could try to pay attention to any man-made markings in the mountains while practicing martial arts in the back mountain.
As people gradually arrived, the dishes were also slowly served by the waiters, and the group began enjoying the meal with lively conversations.
