At night, when the two sisters were lying on the kang, Lin Sheng stuffed the purse that Zhang Zhengguang had given her, along with her photo, into the hands of Sister Lin, and described the conversation and scene of their meeting that day:

"That's the way it is. It's up to you to decide whether you need to watch it or not, big sister!"

Sister Lin was in a trance for a moment, and asked again uncertainly: "You mean, he will die?"

Lin Sheng nodded: "He said so himself, the possibility of him surviving is not high." She didn't know why he died specifically, everything was just speculation.

Sister Lin nodded and silently opened the purse. There was only a key with a strange shape in it. When she saw it for the first time, her tears welled up unconsciously.

After a long while, she wiped her tears and whispered to Lin Sheng: "This is the key to the treasure we buried in the secret base when we were 10 years old..."

What good things could two kids have if they said it was a treasure? Just some odds and ends, candy wrappers, dough figurines, and so on.

I heard that the wooden box was left by Grandpa Zhang to his eldest grandson. It was the dowry of Zhang Zhengguang's grandmother. There is a mechanism inside the lock and a special key is needed to open it.

If there were two, Zhang Zhengguang gave her one, and they agreed to put all the memorable things between them in it and take it out to look at it when they got married.

Later, when Zhang Zhengguang and Wang Xiaoe became entangled, she threw the key in her hand into the river.

She never expected that after all these years, she would be able to hold it in her hands again.

Sister Lin sighed and stuffed the key into Lin Sheng's hand again: "Whether he has his own difficulties or he still has feelings for me, I have already let it go. At the beginning, I hated him, but now even that feeling has gradually disappeared."

"Sister, tell me the place and I'll go get it back tomorrow."

The eldest sister is not interested in what is inside, but she is very curious. She thinks there might be the secret of the Zhang family inside!

Sister Lin nodded indifferently: "Just throw it away after you're done reading it, and don't tell me what's in it."

......

The next day, after Lin Sheng and other family members left, she avoided the crowd and quietly came to the secret base that her eldest sister told her.

In fact, it is just a small thatched hut halfway up the mountain. The original owner was an old widower who froze to death there one winter.

There was nothing valuable inside, not even the shabby hut. The place was remote, and no one had demolished it over the years because it was considered unlucky.

Lin Sheng couldn't help but admire Zhang Zhengguang and his elder sister, who were only ten years old at the time. The two children were brave enough to use the place that the adults didn't dare to set foot in as a secret base?

With the help of the system scan, she quickly found the location where the wooden box was buried. She skipped the step of digging and directly collected it into the space through the air.

It was not until she returned home that she could no longer wait to use the key to open the mechanism of the wooden box.

[Wow, there really is everything here!] 803 I was curious about what kind of treasure was inside, but when I opened the box, all I saw was a pile of junk?

Lin Sheng, wearing a mask, reached out and looked through the books. There were broken hairpins, candy wrappers sealed with wax, a few comic books of foreign classics, a piece of rag, a piece of paper with a few words written on it, a rusty wire...

This really looks like something the two kids wouldn't want to throw away.

Just when she thought that there were only these odds and ends underneath, she unexpectedly saw another mechanism after cleaning everything out. It turned out that she had to dial a digital combination lock?

Lin Sheng subconsciously moved the numbers to the correct position according to his eldest sister's date of birth.

With a slight "click" sound, the mechanism slowly opened.

[Oh my god, it blinded my titanium alloy eyes!] 803 was not prepared and was dazzled by the golden light coming out of the box.

Lin Sheng didn't expect that there were neatly stacked yellow croakers inside. It can be seen that the owner has been trying hard to stuff it in, and there is basically no gap between the two yellow croakers.

[I can’t throw this thing away, so I’ll give it to my elder sister to deal with it tonight! ]

803 also nodded in agreement. "There is another layer underneath. I counted it and it's exactly 60 yuan. Even in this era, it's worth a lot of money. I see there's a letter inside!"

Lin Sheng did not touch the big yellow croakers. Instead, he put the digital mechanism back in place and stuffed all those childhood memories back into the box.

......

When the two sisters were getting ready to go to sleep at night, Lin Sheng took out the box. Seeing her elder sister's resisting look, she said helplessly:

"You'd better open it yourself. There are valuables he left for you underneath, and I can't just throw them away."

Sister Lin hesitated for a long time before silently taking the box and opening the mechanism with the key.

Looking at the scattered fragments of memories in it, she couldn't help but feel her eyes moist. She didn't expect that he would carefully treasure the piece of cloth she picked up to wipe his face.

When she saw the digital mechanism, she dialed the correct position with some hesitation.

The dark night cannot block the faint light of the big yellow croaker. If you get close, you can smell a special smell, which makes people want to get closer to them unconsciously.

Sister Lin reached out and touched it, then planned to close the mechanism again. Taking these things out now would be trouble. Although she didn't know why that person left so many gold bars for her, she didn't plan to use things that didn't belong to her.

Lin Sheng reminded quietly: "Sister, there seems to be another layer underneath, probably also yellow croaker, do you want to open it and take a look?"

Sister Lin paused for a moment, then reached out to start picking up the big yellow croakers from the upper layer one by one. There was indeed another layer of big yellow croakers below, just as the younger sister said.

When she had picked out one-fifth of the gold bars, the tip of the iceberg was revealed in a thick envelope.

Sister Lin calmed down and pulled out the brown paper envelope with force.

She tore open the seal and took out a thick stack of letter papers, more than a dozen sheets in total. Under the dim light, she could still see the handwriting on them. The font was very small and densely packed, as if trying to squeeze all the words she wanted to say on it.

Sister Lin took two deep breaths before opening the letter.

[Xiao Xiaoxiao, hello!]

When you read this letter, I should no longer be in this world. I am such a despicable and selfish soul. I don’t want you to hate me, but I am also afraid that you will completely forget me...】
