The patriarch's world suddenly went dark, and his mind felt like a movie, remembering the night he would never forget decades ago.

Thirty-three years ago, the patriarch who was in the prime of life, who had just been elected by the villagers as the patriarch of the new generation, stumbled upon a yellowed pamphlet when he was sorting out the old literature examination in the clan. The patriarch learned from the booklet that there is a mysterious place in the 'Qingcheng Mountain' Bei Ko, and that place is not very far from here. Legend has it that there was an innumerable amount of treasure there, and the young patriarch responded to the call of the central --- to allow some people to get rich first. He encouraged more than a dozen young and strong men to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures.

Under the leadership of the patriarch, more than a dozen young men in the prime of life entered Qingcheng Mountain, looking forward to the dream of getting rich overnight, and marched towards the place in the north of Qingcheng Mountain. Under the leadership of the patriarch, after two days and two nights of searching, I finally found the mysterious place in the legend... Immortal mound'.

In addition to the excitement, under the leadership of the patriarch, everyone began the dream of treasure hunting and making a fortune. However, dreams are always beautiful, and reality is always skinny. After more than ten days of searching, there was not even a shadow of any treasure, and there was very little food left before departure, and more than a dozen people were facing the danger of 'food shortage'. is the patriarch again, and an impassioned 'lecture' has strengthened everyone's dream of making a fortune. As if they had been stimulated, more than a dozen young students began the huge project of 'digging three feet into the ground' with all the tools in their hands.

Half a month has passed, and the long-awaited dream of treasure is still in the imagination, but strange things began to appear one after another, and every night when the moon rises, when everyone is resting, there will always be a little white fox appearing, and the little fox has a sparkling gem in its mouth, and shouts at the resting people, as if to say to them--- 'Follow me, I will tell you where there is treasure.'" The descendants couldn't sit still, and despite the repeated persuasion of the patriarch, they went to chase the little fox one after another, and never came back. No matter how you look for it, the few people who chased the little fox disappeared from the world. For the next few days, the little fox with the gem in his mouth still appeared in front of everyone on time every night, and every time he appeared, he had a bright and blind gem in his mouth, and the size of the gem was getting bigger and brighter.

The remaining few people couldn't sit still again, and under the repeated persuasion of the patriarch, the rest of the people forcibly endured the dream of getting rich and ignored the little fox. But the good times did not last long, on a bright moon night, three young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, while the patriarch was asleep, secretly followed the little white fox, into an underground cave, the hole was very large, three people lit torches and looked around, but there was no shadow of the little fox, just when the three people were confused, a little red light attracted the three of them. The three of them were so excited that they followed the light to see a stone door. The three of them pushed open the stone door together, and their eyes lit up instantly...

"Brick-sized gold, strings of pearl agate, egg-sized red, green, and blue gems were piled up into a hill. The three of them were in a mess, and they rushed up to the mountains of gold and silver in a frenzy, and kept loading them, and their pockets were full, so they took off their clothes and pretended to take them all. At this time, the little white fox appeared again, and the little fox laughed behind the three of them, and the three of them were still busy coaxing the 'gold and silver mountains' as if they hadn't heard. When the three of them were excited, the cave began to sink slowly, and the violent vibration woke up the three wealthy descendants, and when one of the descendants turned around and wanted to leave, they suddenly saw the little white fox smiling at them... Dozens of minutes passed, and the cave returned to its former calm, the gold was still the gold, the gems were still the gems, the three young descendants disappeared without a trace, disappeared inexplicably, a gold brick was lowered, and a bloody arm was clutched.

When it was dawn, the patriarch who woke up found that there were three people missing, and followed the vague footprints on the ground to find the hole, and the nightmare began.

When the patriarch and the rest of the people entered the cave, the three missing men lay there quietly, covered in blood and broken bones. Shocked, the sharp-eyed patriarch noticed a strange light on a person's body. The thoughtful patriarch beckoned the rest of the men to carry the three out of the cave, and he took the opportunity to touch the man who gave a strange light up and down, and finally found a shining gem at the neckline of the man's clothes. The patriarch was overjoyed. The three men were hastily buried, and the rest of the people began to explore the mysterious cave.

From that moment on, the patriarch's nightmare really began...

The little white fox appeared again, this time bringing thousands of 'scorpions', 'centipedes' and 'poisonous toads' to the patriarch and the remaining few people, the narrow cave was instantly occupied by these poisons, and several companions didn't have time to dodge, and in the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by those 'scorpions', 'centipedes' and 'poisonous toads'. The patriarch jumped onto a raised stone wall and watched as several of his companions were engulfed in the poison. Nose, eyes, mouth, 'scorpions, centipedes, in and out. The young patriarch was confused for a while, and seeing the hordes of poisons rushing towards him, the patriarch who was clinging to the stone wall suddenly leaned back, and lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of him. I don't know how long it took, but the patriarch, who slowly opened his eyes, suddenly found himself falling into another cave, and the bright light in front of him attracted the patriarch.

In the faint light of the flashlight, the patriarch's eyes lit up, and those sparkling lights were the treasures he had been looking for. The patriarch looked around vigilantly, and did not find that the swarms of poisonous insects followed, but fortunately, the patriarch packed up some 'treasures' in his pocket, and hurriedly looked for a way out, groping in the dark for a while, the patriarch worked in vain, so frustrated that the patriarch really wanted to shout, but he was afraid of alarming the poison in the dark, looked up at the empty cave, and suddenly found a glimmer of light overhead...

The patriarch finally escaped from the ascension to heaven after a lot of effort, and without thinking too much, the patriarch ran towards the road he came, and he was about to escape from this terrifying place... Just when the patriarch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a howl like a wolf but not a wolf behind him, the patriarch looked back with great courage, and suddenly found that there was a little silver-white fox chasing him, howling, the patriarch even vaguely saw that the silver-white little fox was still smiling at him, the patriarch was so frightened that he ran desperately forward, and kept running, running, until he was tired and couldn't run. The little fox's terrifying smile kept going around the patriarch's mind. He ran as hard as he could, until he lost consciousness, and when the patriarch woke up again, he found that he had returned to the village, and was lying in his old house, and the patriarch's wife was staring at him...

Later, knowing that he was young, he ran back along the path in one breath, and fainted as soon as he arrived at his own courtyard, and his daughter-in-law moved him to bed, and slept for two days and two nights. The patriarch who woke up touched his waist and found that the baby was still there, and immediately ordered his daughter-in-law to close the doors and windows and tighten the curtains, and then carefully untied the burden on his waist...

In the days to come, the patriarch's family and the families of those brothers who followed him were the first batch of '10,000 yuan households' in the village to get rich first!

······

A series of clips, as if in the mind of the patriarch, flashed in the mind of the patriarch, the patriarch looked at the little girl in front of him, the old body was already a little paralyzed, his eyes looked at the little silver spirit in horror, and he couldn't stop shaking...

"Patriarch, do you think of me, I remember you, you took so many things from me without my permission, should you give me an explanation!"

The patriarch was already trembling, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yinling, and said in a trembling voice, "Fox Fairy Niangniang, those... Those things... I'm all... I've used it all, and now... There's nothing left now... There are only a few left, I will go to give it to you, you will bypass the cheap life of the little old man. ”

Xiao Yinling smiled and said, "Oh, you have used all my things, there are not a few left, then okay, I don't want it either, you can keep it for the elderly." ”

"Ahh

The patriarch thought that he had misheard, and looked at Xiao Yinling's indifferent face, a little confused.

"The fairy is saying... Don't want those things anymore?" asked the patriarch cautiously.

"No, I'll give it all to you! But there's one thing you have to do. Xiao Yinling said seriously.

"What's the matter, you said, as long as the little second child can do it, it must be done for the fairy. The patriarch said firmly.

Xiao Yinling grinned, Xiao Yu's hand gently patted the patriarch's shoulder and said, "This matter is the one that my master just explained to you, you must do what my master wants, otherwise if you have three long and two short in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." ”

"Your master? He's your lord... People!" said the patriarch with his mouth wide open in shock.

Xiao Yinling smiled silly and said, "Yes, he is my master, and I have a little master." ”

The patriarch was completely messy, he had already seen that Bu Tian was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be beyond the scope of his cognition, people could take such a mysterious 'little fox fairy under his command, how powerful that place is, he just wanted to threaten people with Gangzi's death, fortunately people were not angry, in case he annoyed others, he disappeared into this world in minutes, fortunately he was not impulsive. ’

The patriarch nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely do it according to Mr. Bu's instructions, I will help Mr. do the things of Gangzi properly, you just let the old man put his heart in his stomach." After speaking, he handed the wooden box that Bu Tian gave him to Xiao Yinling...

"This also asked the fairy to return it to Mr. Bu, and said that the old man would not dare to accept it without merit. "The old man knew what to do, so he was reassured.

Xiao Yinling took the wooden box and said with a smile: "Sensible! Okay, you can go by yourself if it's okay, there are not many mountain roads from your village." ”

The patriarch's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Alas, alas, I'll go back now, and I'll trouble the fairy to send him off." After saying that, he nodded and walked along the path in the forest.

Xiao Yinling suddenly said, "Hey, Grandpa Patriarch, don't be greedy again in the future, otherwise you will explode at any time." Don't you remember that I slapped you twice just now, that is the 'greedy money and lowering your head' I gave you, when you want to collect ill-gotten gains, he will have a seizure, you will explode on the spot, you have to remember!

The patriarch had just walked out a few steps, and when he heard Xiao Yinling's words, he stumbled, and almost didn't fall into a dog and eat. Hurriedly turned around and nodded, "Yes, yes, the little second child remembers, and he doesn't dare to be greedy anymore." ”

Xiao Yinling held the wooden box in his hand and ran towards the bamboo forest with three jumps...

The patriarch wiped the cold sweat from his head and sighed, "Ahem! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, the old man is so old." It also made my old bones thrilling for a while, just in response to the old saying, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and if you walk too much at night, you will meet ghosts. What should have come is still coming. Maybe God gave me a chance to atone for my sins in the face of helping Mr. Bu!"

Xiao Yinling's intimidation inadvertently changed the patriarch, and in the following ten years, the patriarch was really conscientious and diligent in his own work, so that the poor mountain village gradually became rich, built mountain roads, planted fruit trees, and the missing girls also came back safely one by one. The patriarch became the most respected elder in the village. The patriarch lived happily for another sixteen years, and in the first spring of sixteen years, the patriarch closed his eyes peacefully, and the men, women, children, adults and children in the village lined up in a long line to send this patriarch who was forever in their hearts...

······

In the small bamboo house, Xiao Yinling was talking endlessly about how he scared the patriarch of the joke, Bu Tian said angrily, "The patriarch of the human family will return the box to you, and you will continue, I don't know if it is what the master wants to give him?"

Xiao Yinling said ghostly, "I don't know, anyway, I look at the master's face, I don't want to give it to him." The elder of the human family is interesting, and he has returned it, and if he doesn't pay it back, I'm embarrassed to ask for it again. It's not me who's losing anyway. ”

Bu Tianbai glanced at Xiao Yinling, and said with a straight face, "Okay, it's your ghost, hurry up and prepare, we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" said the little silver spirit mischievously.

Duo'er and Feng Wu also quietly began to pack their luggage. Liu Rui walked up to Shen Fang... Aunt Shen Fang, we are going back tomorrow, do you have anything else to explain?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "There's nothing to explain, just take care of all of you, and you'll come to see when you miss me." ”

Liu Rui nodded, took Shen Fang's hand and said, "We are all fine, you also have to take care of your health, be healthy, and when Xiaotian has done everything, we will come back to live in this bamboo cottage with you." ”

At this time, Xiao Yinling smiled and said, "Aunt Shen Fang, don't worry, after we go back, we will immediately ask Grandpa Xiao to come back to accompany you, so that you don't have to be afraid of loneliness and loneliness, if I miss you, I will come back to see you." ”

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Okay, when the time comes, Aunt Shen Fang will cook a table of delicious food, wait for you to come back and have a big meal, and satisfy your hunger well." ”

Xiao Yinling said happily, "Okay, okay, I like to eat what Aunt Shen Fang makes, and I will definitely be the first to come back when the time comes." ”

Bu Tian suddenly said, "No need to do it, you stay tomorrow, your sisters and I will go first, and when we get home, Grandpa Xiao will come, and you are going home." ”

When Xiao Yinling heard this, he frowned, pouted and said, "Why did you let me stay, why didn't you let Sister Fengwu and Sister Duo'er stay." ”

Bu Tiandao, "If you want to stay, you will stay, don't you want to eat the food cooked by Aunt Shen Fang, so that you can eat a few more times." ”

Xiao Yinling said angrily, "I'm not a rice bucket, I'm specially left to eat, and I have to take care of it..." What about the little master. I don't want to stay. ”

At this time, Liu Rui stepped forward with a smile, stroked Xiao Yinling's hair and said, "Silly girl, your master didn't let you stay just to let you eat the food cooked by Aunt Shen Fang, he has other meanings, think about it, you are so smart and clever, you will definitely come up with it." ”

Xiao Yinling looked at Liu Rui suspiciously, "Does the master mean anything else by asking me to stay?" After speaking, he looked at Bu Tian and Shen Fang...

"Oh... I understand, master, are you afraid that we are all gone, Aunt Shen Fang is not safe alone, so let me stay and take care of Aunt Shen Fang for a few days, and let me go back when Grandpa Xiao comes back. Is that so? Little Silver Spirit said ghostly.

Bu Tian glanced at Xiao Yinling... I asked if I knew. ”

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll stay for a few days, and when Grandpa Xiao comes back, I'll go back to take care of the little master. When I was away, I first asked Sister Duo'er to help me take care of the little master. Is that okay, Sister Doerr. Xiao Yinling said with a grin.

Duo'er rolled her eyes and said, "I still need to say that your little master is my godson, and I can still treat him badly, you just obediently protect Aunt Shen Fang's safety, what so much nonsense!"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Okay, you all go, I don't need anyone to protect me, besides, this is in the mountains, what is the danger, I can do it alone, you can go back with peace of mind, you will come to see me if you think of me, I will be satisfied." ”

Bu Tianzheng said, "No, I'm not at ease, the calmer the place, the more vigilant you must be, you don't need to say it, let Xiao Yinling stay with you for a few days, and when the old man comes back, I will make a call, and then let Xiao Yinling go." ”

Shen Fang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Tian, just let Xiao ··· The second girl stayed with me for a few days, and waited for the old man to come back. ”

Everything was arranged, the sky gradually darkened, everyone began to get busy with their duties, cooking, cooking, packing, Bu Tian sat outside the door and looked at the stars in the sky, in a daze...
