Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Do you want to get to the bottom of this matter?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yeah." He nodded.

"...Are the things you did before related to Prince Shen's case? Are you investigating it?" Gu Yue asked again.

Gu Yue thought he needed to know what he did secretly and what his purpose was.

"I was not sure whether the direction of the investigation was right or wrong before, but now it seems... it is right." Gu Xu replied.

Gu Yue understood what he meant. Gu Xu had been investigating his background, and it wasn't until today when they met the village chief in Tongshan Village that they finally had the answer.

"You don't remember anything about your childhood? If what the old man said is correct and the portrait is real, then you should have been eight or nine years old at that time, and you should be able to remember things." Gu Yue frowned.

There was some confusion in Gu Xu's eyes.

"After coming to the Gu family, my memories of my childhood are very vague." Gu Xu said, "I should remember my parents' names and the mansion and throne, but I only have some fragments in my mind and have forgotten all the important information."

Gu Yue looked at his expression and didn't think he was lying.

What's there to hide about this?

"I will help you." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu met his gaze.

"How can I help? You are just a powerless commoner. The matter of Prince Shen involves treason, which is not something you can get involved in casually." Gu Xu said. He instinctively didn't want Gu Yue to get involved in this mess.

"Every road is made by people. We will slowly find a way." Gu Yue said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I believe in you. You have great abilities. You can definitely accomplish what you want to do."

Gu Xu didn't say anything.

What can Gu Dashi do?

That Shi San doesn't look like an ordinary person, but what can he do with just one Shi San?

Now he is surrounded on all sides, the Crown Prince, Wen Qing, Prince Yin and the Su family are all keeping a close eye on him, and he will lose his life if he is not careful.

An inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. Gu Xu rubbed his eyebrows and reflected for the first time on his own reckless behavior.

I did it wrong, he thought.

……

"Are we really not going to wait for Wu Feng and the others?" Gu Yue said.

The three of them packed their luggage...there wasn't much luggage, just some salted fish and dry food kindly provided by the village chief, and some thin cotton clothes to keep warm at night, and then they set off into the woods.

Gu Yue asked the old man for the portrait and put it in his chest pocket. It was a small roll next to his heart. Gu Yue thought he had to help Gu Xu keep it well...

Taking photos is not allowed in this era, so such a well-painted portrait must be kept well.

The village chief finally pointed out a rough direction, which was probably the mountain behind the lake. They declined the village chief's offer to send someone familiar with the terrain to accompany them, because people's minds are unpredictable.

"No need. If they can't find anyone, they will come to this village." Gu Xu said.

"As long as there weren't a bunch of assassins rushing at me like yesterday, Shi San would be able to be dealt with." Gu Yue comforted himself, "I think the things your father prepared for you wouldn't have any dangerous mechanisms."

The original text seems to be a stone cave with many forks and warning mechanisms in the belly of the mountain. In the original text, Gu Xu and his men successfully reached the cave full of treasures without even getting hurt.

"I have asked the village chief to have Zhou Qiong come to Sushui County to find us as soon as he comes back to the village." Gu Yue said, "With this person here, we can also learn more details of the past."

"After you go back, you'd better stay out of the spotlight." Gu Xu said.

"Well... I won't do anything that's public. I'll hire a few people to run the gold plate business at home. As for me, I'll go around with you and investigate what happened back then." Gu Yue was quite optimistic. If I can't beat him, can I not hide from him?

"Okay." Gu Xu nodded. Still a little worried, he turned around and took Gu Yue's hand, holding him tightly.

Gu Dashi is too weak. It is safer to keep him by my side. With the protection of Wumen and Shi San, he will not be killed by others at the slightest mistake.

But before that, the last test still needs to be carried out.

Gu Xu likes to be safe.

The three of them walked along the cliff-like mountain wall.

Tongshan is really vast. Gu Yue instinctively felt that the treasure should be hidden in an inconspicuous place, otherwise how could no one find it when the news leaked out?

Wait, leaked information?

How did the news that Gu Shen left something in the mountains spread?

It is possible that the news was leaked by the subordinates who moved and buried the items, but if no one has found them for ten years, then the possibility that the news was leaked by someone involved in the matter is not very high.

Who could that be?

However, it can be seen from this that this must have been a temporary plan, otherwise why would someone come to hunt for treasure only after King Shen's death?

Prince Shen temporarily hid the treasure for Gu Xu... Did he foresee something?

But the process by which Gu Yue learned about this matter was somewhat suspicious. Why did the treasure of Prince Shen, which had been silent for ten years, suddenly appear in the world, and some people claimed to have dug up the real treasure?

Gu Yue just felt that the whole thing was confusing and nothing happened as described in the original text, leaving him completely clueless.

Isn't the script he has the cannon fodder script in his hand? Why is it so difficult?

Perhaps being shot to death by an arrow is his destiny.

We kept moving forward along the mountain wall, gradually moving away from Tongshan Village, until we could no longer see the shadow of the lake between the tree trunks. All around us were the sounds of birds singing and leaves rustling. There were not as many mosquitoes as we had imagined, but more of some unknown flying insects.

Nearby, they saw obvious signs of human activity.

There were no towering trees on the edge of the mountain wall ahead, only some perennial low shrubs and saplings less than ten years old. In addition, there were occasional felled tree stumps in the surrounding woods, covered with mushrooms.

"It should be around here." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu also agreed with his judgment.

Gu Yue looked at the smooth stone wall, wondering where the entrance to the treasure was.

He took a step forward, his foot touching the thick fallen leaves in the forest floor.

However, there was no feeling of falling leaves pressing down and then bouncing back, and Gu Yue's feet felt empty, and he fell down!

"Fuck!" The scream echoed at the entrance of the cave.

"Gu Dashi!"

Gu Xu immediately went to pull him, but his efforts were in vain. Shi San was even further away, and he had been responsible for keeping watch on the surroundings, but when he realized something was wrong, he was not as quick as Gu Xu.

Gu Yue disappeared from the dark pit. Dust and ash flowed down from both sides of the hole, and a muffled sound with an echo came from below.

"Gu Dashi!" Gu Xu shouted into the cave.

There was no movement for a long time.

Shi San jumped in right after him, and Gu Xu didn't even see his movements clearly. He took a deep breath and shouted into the cave, "I'll go find the entrance, otherwise I can't open the door from the inside! You stay where you are, don't walk around."

There was still no response from below. Gu Xu suppressed his impatience and walked towards the mountain wall over there.
