Chapter 206 Mysterious Iron Gourd
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he increased the strength in his hand. The man's face suddenly turned red and a suffocating feeling surged into his heart.
Chen Hao used his strength just right, neither pinching the other person to death nor making the other person comfortable. As long as the force is slightly stronger, he can directly pinch his throat.
The man felt the fear of death and squeezed out a few words hoarsely: "Don't... don't kill me, I--is the second master's person..."
"Wu Erbai? What did he send you to do?" Chen Hao asked coldly.
"Second Master - he doesn't want the third master to continue investigating, so - let us ruin those clues. Mr. Chen, Mr. Second Master has something to say - to ask you, can you come with me?" the man said in horror.
After hearing what he said, Chen Hao let go of his hand. He knew that the other party was telling the truth. In the original work, Wu Erbai asked someone to burn the young man's hometown.
He calculated the time and according to the plot of the original work, I am afraid that the young man's high house has been lit now, and Wu Xie and Fatty will be led away by Wu Erbai's people's designs.
However, even if he knew that this would happen, he would not care about it. After all, these things had nothing to do with him. It was purely because Wu Xie's uncle wanted to protect him.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for showing mercy. Second Master is in the county town. Can you go with me now?" the man in black said with a look of fear.
"Not interested! Tell your second master, I will not interfere in their family affairs, nor do I want to interfere. I will be responsible for what to do, so he can rest assured!" Chen Hao said coldly in an unquestionable tone.
"This..." The man in black wanted to speak but stopped, looking at him with a embarrassed look.
Chen Hao looked at him coldly. When the man in black came into contact with his emotionally unconscious eyes, he suddenly felt like he was being targeted by a beast, and his whole body was covered with chestnuts.
The man in black quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Chen, then I will convey your words to the second master."
Chen Hao ignored him and walked towards the cabin on his own. His purpose had been achieved. It was enough to figure out what the other party came from. He was not interested in meeting the second master.
As expected, when he returned to the wooden house, he saw the fat man, Wu Xie and the young man standing outside the wooden house, holding the iron box, and pretending to be nothing on his face.
On the hillside opposite the wooden house, there were a few people wearing local clothes, looking at the three of them coldly, and their eyes were like ordinary people watching traitors, looking at them...
Seeing Chen Hao come back, Wu Xie asked quickly: "Was that man running away from under your nose?"
Chen Hao nodded and agreed, and did not tell him what had happened just now, so he asked him what was happening here.
Wu Xie said: "These people are really cunning and have good skills. They deliberately pulled you and the guy away, and then wanted to grab the box. Fortunately, the fat man arrived in time and the box was not stolen."
Chen Hao looked at the big iron box that the fat man was holding and found that the lock had been broken, and a gap was exposed in the lid of the box, and something like a big gourd could be seen inside.
Wu Xie pointed to the locals on the hillside and said, "These locals don't know when they came. They seem to have discovered something. We should leave here early. Maybe they will be driven out of the village by them or even sent to the police station..."
Chen Hao glanced at the villagers and nodded in agreement. In fact, he knew that the locals were pretended by Wu Erbai's subordinates, and the purpose was to drive Wu Xie away so that he could take the opportunity to burn the house.
"Fatty, go!"
Wu Xie greeted the fat man and the others, and rushed to the hotel. The fat man carried the iron box and followed behind him as if nothing had happened. Chen Hao and the young man also followed.
When they returned to the hotel, everyone quickly closed the door and couldn't wait to open the box to check what was inside.
A few locals were present just now, and they couldn't check it on site. Now, as soon as they got home, they opened it immediately, and they all wanted to know what was inside.
After opening the lid of the box, I saw a piece of iron inside, about the size of a pencil case, round and covered with bumps like poison glands on a toad, which looked very disgusting.
There are a few pieces of the same next to it, and the shape is similar to a gourd.
But when you look closely, you will find that those things that look like toad lumps are swelling with corrosion rust, so they look like to toad lumps, and some ancient patterns can be vaguely seen on them.
Everyone looked confused, and thought they would see something terrible, but they didn't expect to see a piece of scrap iron covered with rust?
Chen Hao stretched out his fingers and clamped the scrap iron to weigh it. He found that it weighed about four or five kilograms, which was about the same as a brick. After shaking it a few times, there was no movement inside, but he was sure that this should not be solid.
The fat man was puzzled: "What is this? It looks like a grenade. Is it an ancient grenade? Damn, you shouldn't really bury grenades under your bed, then he's too worried when he sleeps..."
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense. How could a guy do such a stupid thing? It's natural that someone does this, it makes sense for him." Wu Xie cursed.
At this time, the young man took the gourd from Chen Hao, weighed the weight with his hand, and said, "There is only one layer of skin that is iron, and the real thing is wrapped in the iron sheet."
"How can I see it?" Wu Xie asked.
Brother: "The weight is too light."
When Wu Xie heard this, he quickly took the iron gourd and held it in his hand to weigh the weight. He said, "Well, you are right. This thing is indeed not solid. There may be something else hidden, otherwise it would be impossible that it would be just such a little weight."
The fat man also took the iron gourd and played with it for a while, and then said, "There was something called iron-packed gold before. It hid the gold in the iron sheet to transport it, which was inconspicuous. But you said that the weight was too light, so the things inside would definitely not be gold."
"I have never heard of iron-covered gold? I know a Tibetan mastiff called iron-covered gold. My grandfather used to raise one, but because he was not suitable for the local environment, he could not raise it. Later, he was kicked to death by the cow in the village..." Wu Xie said.
"Damn, that cow is powerful enough to kick the Tibetan mastiff to death with iron-clad gold." said the fat man.
