"Hurry up, hurry up, while the sky is not yet dawn, hurry up, as soon as the morning dawns, maybe the people from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce will come, there is so much gold and silver, wherever we go, it is enough for our family to live a prosperous life." The old man urged his children and grandchildren to leave quickly.

His son and grandson struggled to carry a bag full of gold and silver, and they also wanted to walk faster, but because they were too heavy, they could not go too fast.

After walking a distance, the old man saw that this speed was not good, and if he walked like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to go far in the morning, and if he didn't get it, he would be found by the villagers.

"Go to Daliang Mountain, go to Daliang Mountain, we can't go far at all if we go on like this, so we will hide on Daliang Mountain for a while. The old man said to his children and grandchildren.

"Daliang Mountain is too dangerous, and several villagers who are collecting medicine have died in the village, all of whom died on Daliang Mountain. ”

"Don't worry, let's not go to the depths, just stay on the periphery, there is a cave there, just enough to live in, and it is not easy to find, I found it when I was young, and no one in the village knows about it. The old man said.

His children and grandchildren did not object or refute, listened to the old man's words, and began to carry their bags in the direction of Daliang Mountain.

The village is not far from Daliang Mountain, it can be said that it is at the foot of the mountain, and it can be reached by walking up the mountain for more than an hour.

The old man took his children and grandchildren to walk to Daliang Mountain, because he went around and delayed for some time, and he didn't leave the village for a long time.

"Who—who? Stop. Suddenly, someone shouted in the grass not far away, and several figures came out of it.

Hearing the voice, the old man could tell that it was a villager in the village, but he was not too worried, but the only thing that troubled him was the bag of gold and silver carried by his children and grandchildren.

"It's me, what are you doing here without sleeping?" the old man asked the first few figures that came out of the grass.

"We're waiting here to see if someone has stolen the villagers' gold and silver and gone on their own. The black shadow said with a sneer.

"Nonsense, all that gold and silver are here in the old decay, who can steal it? The old man said righteously.

"Yes, we're just afraid that someone will guard us and steal it. The black shadow came over with the people, and surrounded the old man and his children and grandchildren.

Immediately, another dark shadow said: "Found it, the thing is in their hands, it seems that they want to escape overnight." ”

"Uncle, it seems that you are trying to escape with your things! I don't care about the lives of the villagers at all, and what you do tonight is not as righteous as you said during the day. ”

"What kind of righteousness is bullshit, stealing the villagers' things and escaping, just trying to kill the villagers, and then their family can live a good life, this kind of person beats him to death. ”

"You, you, you. The old man said angrily, "I want to hide the gold and silver, so that I won't throw it away, and when the people from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce come, they will take it out for them and buy the lives of the people in the village, otherwise why don't I run away, but go to Daliang Mountain." ”

A few villagers who questioned him suddenly paused, saying yes, how good it would be to escape, why did he have to go back to Daliang Mountain.

The old man saw that his explanation had stopped a few villagers, and sneered in his heart, the villagers were a bunch of fools after all.

"Go to Daliang Mountain, that's because you can't escape at all, because it's very difficult for your family to get away with so much gold and silver, since you can't go, you can only hide the gold and silver on Daliang Mountain, and when the villagers are all killed by the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, you are leaving with the gold and silver, and no one will think of you if you are safe." ”

Suddenly, a figure walked from the direction of the village, and the figure said as he walked forward.

"Nonsense, what evidence do you have, I think you want to take this gold and silver for yourself and kill the people in the village. The old man's face turned pale and uncertain.

"I'm talking nonsense?haha!" Du Zihui laughed out loud and said, "If you are caught, you dare to mess around like this, do you really think that everyone will believe your words? ”

"Hmph, I said, I want to hide these gold and silver on Daliang Mountain, so as not to be remembered by people with bad intentions, and wait for the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce to come and give them in exchange for the lives of the villagers. The old man argued.

"In exchange for the lives of the villagers?haha, what a joke, I'm afraid you don't even believe what you said!" Du Zihui said with a sneer.

"How is it possible, isn't it just to make money for the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce to let the village collect elixir, now that we give them so much gold and silver, they will definitely agree, so that the village is saved, and the lives of the villagers are saved, the best of both worlds. The old man tried to argue.

"I think you have the best of both worlds! Not only have you got the gold and silver, but also saved the lives of your family, and you can live a rich life with the wealth exchanged for the blood of these villagers, I think you are the best of all three. Du Zihui sneered.

"Nonsense, I am for the good of the villagers, and I don't want the villagers to lose their homes and not have to suffer from turbulence and displacement. The old man retorted loudly.

"Is it? You have lived for such a long time, don't you know where these gold and silver came from, you don't know that these gold and silver are originally from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, why do they exchange their wealth for your lives, they will only kill all the villagers and regain their wealth. The more Du Zihui said, the more hideous the anger on his face became.

"You're talking about it!" said the old man, his lips trembling, but this time he did not say anything to defend himself.

It seems that you also know that the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce will not let go of the villagers no matter what, but if you want to let the villagers stay, your heart can be punished. Du Zihui said hatefully.

"You...... You, you ......" The old man trembled for a long time, and finally didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to justify.

"Okay, don't defend yourself, since you are willing to face the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, then you can stay! Du Zihui was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand.

A few villagers on the side rushed up and tied up the old man and his children and grandchildren.

"Du Zihui, you dare, you dare, you dare to treat me like this, do you know who I am? You want to see the villagers, I want to expose your face in front of the villagers. The old man jumped and scolded Du Zihui, but unfortunately he was too old to jump very high.

"Shut up, you'll be able to meet the other villagers soon. A villager on the side pushed the old man, causing the old man to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

The people in the village woke up at this moment, and when they saw the old man and his family of three who had been tied back, and the bag containing gold and silver that had been carried back, many villagers looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.
