Chapter 221 Li Yongjun presses on Li Mengman
If there is a treasure, it must be hidden here! Li Mengman thought so, but where could it be hidden?
"Everyone, open your eyes, search carefully, and observe seriously to see if there is any special place!" Li Mengman said loudly.
"Is there a treasure hidden here? Do you want to go up every stone pillar to check?" Li Yongjun said to Li Mengman.
"Li Yongjun is right. We should not only look at what's in front of us, but also pay attention to what's above. We should also pay attention to the stone pillars. Don't miss any place that we can go up to see." Li Mengman ordered.
Li Yongjun was praised by Li Mengman again, and he was very happy. To be honest, he was a serious person, but he would not flatter others. Deputy Director Zhang did not think highly of him, on the contrary, he was a little difficult to him. Fortunately, he did not care and thought that his superiors were strict with him.
Li Yongjun was praised, and he was also a beautiful director, so of course he wanted to show off. However, treasure hunting depends a lot on luck, and whoever is lucky will find it early.
Li Yongjun did not rely on luck. He thought that as long as there was a treasure hidden here, he should be able to find it. With this determination, he began to search carefully.
After walking around for half an hour, we didn't find any treasures except for admiring stones of various shapes. Many people were attracted by those strange stones.
"Has anyone found anything? For example, mechanisms, secret passages or something like that?" Li Mengman reminded everyone. She didn't believe that such an unusual cave, which was clearly stated to be the location of a treasure, would not be without results.
"Director Li, is it possible that there is no treasure here at all? Have we made a mistake?" said a middle-aged man.
"Absolutely right! This is the place marked on the treasure map. Experts will not go to the wrong place." Li Mengman looked at the middle-aged man, "Keep looking, be careful!"
"Director Li, do you think that 'Sky-high Bamboo ' is a little special? It looks like two big bamboo leaves on it, and there should be a concave area between the two leaves. Could there be any secrets hidden in it?" Li Yongjun looked up at a huge stone pillar.
"Chongtianzhu?" Li Mengman said, looking at Li Yongjun, "You gave this name just now, right?"
"Reporting to Director Li, yes. I just found that this stone pillar looks very much like a bamboo shoot! Look at the stones sticking out around it, don’t they look like the skin of a bamboo shoot? If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a big winter bamboo shoot!" said Li Yongjun.
"It looks exactly like it! Especially the two pieces of stone on top, which look like the two bamboo shoot leaves at the top of a bamboo shoot! You are right to remind me! Look at the bamboo shoot skin of this stone pillar, isn't it just the stairs for climbing? Who wants to climb up and take a look?" said Li Mengman.
"Let me go up!" said Li Junyong.
"Can you go up? It's a bit difficult." Li Mengman didn't want Li Yongjun to take risks. She had a good impression of him.
"Director Li, don't worry! I have been climbing trees to pick birds at home since I was a child." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Okay. Be careful. This can't be compared to a tree. It's very slippery." Li Mengman said.
"Thank you Director Li for your concern. I will be careful." Li Yongjun said as he looked at the stone pillar and prepared to climb.
"Yongjun, wait a moment. Everyone come here and surround this big stone pillar! Pay attention, if Yongjun slips down, catch him for me." Li Mengman said.
When Li Yongjun heard Director Li affectionately call him Yongjun instead of Li Yongjun, he felt warm in his heart.
When the others heard Li Mengman calling them, they gathered around the stone pillar.
"Yongjun, go up, be careful. You need to stay calm and don't feel any psychological burden. We are watching you below and will support you." Li Mengman said gently.
"Thank you Director Li, it's okay." Li Yongjun said as he started to climb up.
Li Yongjun is really a good climber. The stone pillar is very big and it is impossible for one person to hold on to it. Li Yongjun used his fingers to hold the gaps in the stone skin, and his toes stuck to the stone pillar like a gecko, slowly crawling up.
This stone pillar is not only big, but also very tall! When Li Yongjun climbed to the middle, the people below watched his shadow get smaller. No one dared to speak, and they looked up quietly.
Li Mengman was very nervous. She seemed to feel that there was really a secret on this stone pillar. She thought that there couldn't be many treasures on it, but there might be secrets that indicated the treasures. There might also be a few rare treasures. She was afraid that Li Yongjun would not be able to hold on and climb up.
If Li Yongjun can't climb up, it will be even more difficult to send someone else to climb up. It's also difficult for me to climb up. Although I am an expert climber, the stone pillars are too slippery. It's too dangerous to climb such a high stone pillar.
Li Mengman was thinking this when she noticed that Li Yongjun was no longer moving.
"Everyone, please keep quiet. Yongjun may be taking a break." Li Mengman was afraid that the people below would urge Li Yongjun, so she quickly stopped them and told them not to make any noise.
Li Yongjun held on to the gap tightly. He was indeed taking a rest, but more importantly, he didn't find any cracks , so he was searching.
Li Yongjun saw that there were no rocks or crevices above his head to climb. He looked left and right, slowly moved his body to the left for a while, and then started climbing up again.
Li Mengman heaved a sigh of relief. Li Mengman finally understood why Li Yongjun took a break.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, and Li Yongjun was getting closer and closer to the top of the stone pillar. His hand finally grabbed the "bamboo leaf" on the top of the stone pillar, and he exerted force and reached the top of the stone pillar.
Li Yongjun reminded himself not to look down. He knew it was too high and looking down would make him dizzy, which would be more dangerous.
Li Yongjun looked at the stone pillar and saw something glowing between the two "leaves". He looked carefully and found it was a box. A golden box! The golden box was lying quietly between the two "bamboo leaves", with a space next to it that could accommodate a person.
Li Yongjun stood next to the golden box, as if he was standing in a basin. At this moment, he felt safe. He shouted loudly to the people below: "Director Li, can you hear me?"
Director Li said excitedly: "Yes! What did you find up there?"
"There is only one golden box! I can't go down with it, what should I do?" Li Yongjun knew that he could not go down with the golden box no matter what, even though the golden box was not very big.
"Wait a minute! Let me think of a solution! By the way, do you dare to look down?" Li Mengman thought of a solution.
"I was safe in the groove and dared to look down."
"Okay, wait a moment. Let's go to a shed and you throw the golden box on the shed." Li Mengman said.
"Shed? What shed?"
"Don't worry about it. You'll know in a moment." Li Mengman said, looking at the people around her, "Everyone take off your coats and tie up your sleeves. This will make a big piece of cloth. Pull it up to catch the golden box!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a great idea and quickly took action.
In fact, Li Mengman thought of asking Li Yongjun to drop the golden box directly and then catch it herself. However, she didn't know the weight and size of the golden box. She was afraid that the treasure inside would be broken.
Everything was ready, and everyone put up the tent. In order to increase the bearing capacity of the tent, Li Mengman asked several people to squat under the tent and hold up the cloth with their hands, so that the bearing capacity of the tent would definitely be much greater.
"Okay! Yongjun! Look at the tent and throw it down towards the middle." Li Mengman said.
"Okay." Li Yongjun held the golden box in both hands, and gently threw it towards the middle of the tent, and the golden box fell down.
The golden box fell on the tent. Li Mengman saw that the golden box was safe and sound. She took the golden box and handed it to the expert. She looked at Li Yongjun on it and said, "Yongjun, come down! Be careful, it's very slippery."
"Okay. I'll go down." said Li Yongjun.
"Everyone, put on your clothes quickly and watch up. If Yongjun slips down, please catch him for me," said Li Mengman.
Li Yongjun slid down slowly. Li Mengman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yongjun was halfway down.
However, just when Li Mengman was relaxing, Li Yongjun screamed "Ah", and then he was seen falling in the air.
"Get out of the way!" Li Mengman hurriedly ran towards the direction where Li Yongjun fell.
Li Mengman followed by Li Yongjun, and they both fell to the ground. Li Yongjun was on top of Li Mengman. He was still in shock, but he felt something soft on his elbow. He looked and saw that his elbow was pressing on Li Mengman's plump chest.
Li Yongjun quickly turned over and lay beside Li Mengman. He looked at her and asked, "Director Li, how are you? Did you hit your head?"
Li Mengman smiled and said, "Yongjun, I'm fine. I'm glad you're okay."
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me." Li Yongjun was very grateful to Li Mengman. He thought, it was Li Mengman who saved him, and from now on, this life would be hers.
"Why thank me? I should thank you for something! It was you who were not afraid of danger and helped us complete the task successfully." Li Mengman said.
"This is what I should do. If it weren't for you, I might have been torn to pieces! You saved my life, and my life is yours. From now on, even if I..."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is all for work." Li Mengman interrupted Li Yongjun. She found that everyone was looking at her and Li Yongjun, and some people even had jealousy towards Li Yongjun in their eyes.
Li Yongjun stood up and extended his hand towards Li Mengman.
"I'll do it myself!" Li Mengman said as she climbed up.
The expert was looking at the golden box carefully.
"What do you think of this golden box?" Li Mengman couldn't help asking as she watched the expert observing the golden box.
"This is not a real gold box, it's just a gold-plated box. The box itself is not very valuable, it depends on what treasure is hidden inside. This lock seems a little difficult to open, who is a master locksmith?" asked the expert holding the golden box.
"Let me see." Li Mengman said as she took the golden box.
Li Mengman took the golden box, looked at the small lock on it carefully, and said, "I'll give it a try, maybe I can open this small lock."
"Director Li is also an expert at lock picking?" Li Yongjun looked at Li Mengman in surprise.
