Chapter 206: If a Man Doesn't Work for Himself, Heaven and Earth Will Destroy Him

Finally, Wang An concluded that the three of them had made a windfall, equivalent to getting a huge sum of 60 million in the later generations. Most importantly, this money didn't need to be taxed. Isn't it annoying?

The three ran four trips to move the four boxes of gold, four boxes of calligraphy and paintings, and the most important "Big Unities" in front of them.

To be precise, the three ran three trips. Although 100 jin of gold is not light, if one person carries it and walks, it is still no problem at all.

On the last trip, Wang An took Mu Xueli and Wang Li to see those mummies. Although the hatred of the Little Days in the Northeast has never decreased, as Chinese people, they should understand that history and remember the blood and tears of their predecessors!

Although some hatred can be selectively forgotten, for this kind of national hatred and family enmity, it should be engraved in the bones and passed down from generation to generation, striving for one day to destroy them!!

And since they were already inside, they should understand this large "urn." Besides, with so many horse lamps and candles, they should at least take a few horse lamps and a few packs of candles to use.

One must know that the lighting equipment of every household now is still kerosene lamps! Candles are much brighter than kerosene lamps.

Most importantly, when candles burn, there is less smoke, and if kerosene lamps are lit for half the night, the people in the house will be black, dirty, and covered in the smell of kerosene smoke.

When seeing the long-haired mummy, Mu Xueli and Wang Li were startled first, and then cursed loudly. The cursing was as ugly as it could be. However, Wang An didn't stop them, because he himself was like this before.

Besides, in this scene, as long as it is a person with a conscience, or rather, as long as it is a person, no one can help it! This is too damn miserable, it is truly too damn miserable!

Pushing open the door of the last room, seeing the three mummies inside, Mu Xueli and Wang Li were stunned at the same time, and then Wang

Mu Xueli, however, neither laughed nor spoke, but instead watched the three mummified corpses with a face full of murderous intent.

After Wang Li finished speaking, he noticed Mu Xueli's abnormality and asked, "Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? I'm so happy, why aren't you laughing with me?"

Mu Xueli glanced at Wang Li and then whispered, "I heard from my father that my grandfather was killed by the Japanese."

Wang An and Wang Li fell silent upon hearing this. In the Northeast, and indeed throughout China, the number of people killed by the Japanese is countless; almost every piece of land has witnessed a living hell!

The three of them closed the doors to each room, each taking three brand-new storm lanterns and several packs of unopened candles, blowing out the candles and lanterns on the stone walls as they walked toward the outside of the "urn."

After covering the stone slab back up and piling plenty of snow on top, the three of them divided the "Great Unities" (large denomination banknotes) on the sled. Dividing them now was the most appropriate choice; otherwise, with this much money, it wouldn't be convenient no matter whose house it was divided at.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li each took 9 bundles, while Wang An took 12 bundles for himself. Mu Xueli and Wang Li packed their "Great Unities" into sacks, while the leather suitcase naturally belonged to Wang An.

Wang An thought for a moment and stuffed the entire leather suitcase into the sack as well; it felt much more discreet that way.

After dividing the money, they divided the gold. Wang An took 40% for himself, about 160 jin, which was one box of gold bricks and 60 gold bars.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li each took 30%, about 120 jin, which was one box of gold bricks and 20 gold bars each.

Twenty gold bars equaled 20 jin of gold. It sounded like quite a lot, but if placed together, it was actually just a pile of sticks about 25 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide and high! Of course, they were sticks made of heavy gold.

Wang An wanted to divide the calligraphy and paintings too, but was stopped by Mu Xueli and Wang Li at the same time. Both said they didn't want that stuff, because their reasoning was that it was just a pile of paper, useless and taking up space.

Wang An thought about it but didn't tell them about the earth-shattering changes that would occur in Chinese life in the near future. As someone reborn, he knew that saying too much leads to mistakes!

However, one thing was certain: these calligraphy and paintings would inevitably be more valuable than the 400 jin of gold. Because 400 jin of gold was 200,000 grams of gold, and even at the time of Wang An's rebirth, this gold would at most not exceed 100 million. But the calligraphy and paintings?

Antiques in times of prosperity, gold in times of chaos! As long as they were ancient calligraphy and paintings, there was no way they weren't valuable. One piece could be worth hundreds of thousands, many worth millions, and there were even those worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions!

Although antiques or calligraphy and paintings that reached this value were mostly for other purposes, it had to be said that the intrinsic value of these items was already quite high. The three of them got on the sled and headed toward home.

On the way, Wang An solemnly instructed Mu Xueli and Wang Li, "After you two get home, you absolutely must not mention the matter of Mount Shitou. Just say that while chasing wild boars, you stumbled upon an empty underground bunker, and these things were found inside."

"Mm, brother-in-law, Fourth Brother," Mu Xueli and Wang Li replied simultaneously.

Wang An continued, "If they ask where the bunker is, just say it's at Qingshigang. Anyway, there are many caves in that area, and anyone who has spent time in the deep mountains knows that, so no one will be suspicious."

"Mm, brother-in-law, Fourth Brother," the two replied again simultaneously.

Wang An went on, "And only let your fathers and mothers know about this. Don't even let your respective younger sisters know! Also, tell your parents that this matter must rot in their stomachs from now on, or just pretend it never happened!"

"I know, brother-in-law."

"I know too, Fourth Brother."

Wang An looked at their faces, squinted his eyes, and said again, "You two keep your wits about you. If something really goes wrong, none of us three or our families will have a good ending."

"Mm," the two replied, feeling somewhat nervous.

Wang An took out cigarettes, gave one to Mu Xueli and one to Wang Li, and the three of them began to puff away.

By rights, these things should be turned in, but neither Wang An, nor Mu Xueli and Wang Li, could possibly turn them in. Turning in such a huge fortune? Are you kidding?

Just for a few words of praise? Don't be ridiculous! How much does praise cost per jin?

The actions of Wang An and the others could probably represent 99.9999% of the people in the world! After all, if a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him.

The filth behind those who talk about benevolence and morality all day is not unknown! And those who urge others to be selfless all day never lead by example themselves!

So, everyone is a "stingy iron rooster," why call others stingy?

Only three words can explain the problem: "Shameless!" Of course, that's six words, but the emphasis is on the first two and the last one!

Just looking at those three words is enough, because if you say all six words, it's really a bit unrefined.

In the final analysis, selfishness is human nature, while those who are brave enough to be selfless always step forward, willing to be unsung heroes, and such children of China are actually not few in number.

After finishing their cigarettes, Wang An said again, "From tomorrow on, none of us three should mention this matter again. We will continue living our lives as we always have. As for this Mount Shitou, I will find a way to leak it. Remember, we only found one underground bunker when we went into the mountains."

Because they had smoked a cigarette, Mu Xueli and Wang Li's nervous tension eased a lot.

Upon hearing this, the two replied simultaneously: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I've remembered, Fourth Brother."

Promoting a friend's book, "Reborn in the 80s, Counterattacking Life Starting from Breaking Off an Engagement." It's really quite interesting. Interested relatives and big shots can check it out.
