The thin monkey climbed down the wall in disbelief. As soon as he came, Jiang Huai and others came over to scuffle him, and he shouted in fright, "Old lady......"

"Stop." Jiang Wanbai shouted, "Let him go." ”

Jiang Huai and the others ran out of breath, angry at the thin monkey, and wanted to beat him out of anger. However, since Jiang Wanbai spoke, they still let go of the thin monkey stupidly.

The thin monkey hurriedly hid behind Jiang Wanbai and said flatteringly, "Old lady, what can you do?" ”

"Let's go to the ghost rock beach first."

"Now?" The skinny monkey turned white in fright.

Jiang Wanbai didn't speak, and glanced at him lightly.

The thin monkey thought about it and knew that this was his only way out, so he could only lead everyone to the ghost rock beach.

By this time, it was completely dark. Although the light hung in the sky, it was not very bright, and the surroundings were blurry.

From afar, I saw that the beach was surprisingly dark, with strange rocks, and with the whimpering sea breeze, it was indescribably infiltrating.

"Right there." The thin monkey hid behind Jiang Wanbai, didn't even dare to point his finger, and only muttered to her in a low voice.

Jiang Wanbai was also a little scared in her heart, there are such things as crossing, ghosts or something, it is not uncommon for one or two to come out.

At this moment, Tang Shaozheng suddenly said: "I've seen everything in my life, but I really haven't seen what this ghost looks like." Today, let me see it. So saying, he raised his torch and walked past the crowd toward the beach.

As if inspired, everyone walked forward after him.

Gradually, the firelight has found the edge of the ghost rock beach. It was a very clear dividing line, and on one side of the dividing line, the sand was white and soft, and on the other side, it was as black as ink.

The contrast between black and white is like two different worlds.

Everyone stood in the white world, and no one dared to take a step first.

"Mother, this black sand seems to glow." Tian Lao Er was careful and said first.

Luminous? When they heard this, they all looked carefully. Sure enough, under the light of the fire, some of the black and thick places were like oil, and there was a colorful halo, which was very beautiful.

"Mother, my head is so dizzy." Tian Laosi looked at it and said suddenly.

When he said this, everyone felt a little dizzy and a little nauseous. glanced at each other, and everyone's hearts began to beat drums, could it be that there is really a ghost here.

"Hold on to the torches and retreat." At this moment, Jiang Wanbai suddenly shouted, after shouting, she should run to the back first.

The spirit of the crowd had already collapsed a string, and now, where could they stand it, they all ran into the distance like frightened rabbits.

Straight for nearly a mile, Jiang Wanbai stopped, and those people were still running forward lifelessly, as if there was really something chasing them behind them.

"It's safe now." Jiang Wanbai panted and called Jiang Huai and the others.

"Huh? It's safe. Everyone reacted, and then they collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, feeling like they were going to live after the catastrophe.

After all, Tang Shaozheng is a person who has seen the world, much better than them, stretched out his hand to support Jiang Wanbai, he asked, "Mother, you let us run just now, what is going on?" There really is ...... there."

As soon as he asked, everyone looked at Jiang Wanbai.

"There are no ghosts there, on the contrary, there are ...... there" There is gold, countless gold, Jiang Wanbai suppressed the rest of the words, "I have already figured out the matter here." Go back first, and then talk about it later. ”

"That's clear?" The skinny monkey was a little hard to believe. However, no one paid attention to him at all, everyone was used to believing in Jiang Wanbai, so they all returned to Tian's house with a hula.

Closing the door, Jiang Wanbai sat on the chair, thinking about what had just happened.

"Mother......" Tang Shaozheng shouted, and didn't continue, he believed that if Jiang Wanbai wanted to sue him, he would definitely sue him.

Everyone else thought that Tang Shaozheng was looking at him, so there was silence in the room.

After a while, Jiang Wanbai exhaled a breath and said softly: "Where is the devil, it is clearly a mountain of gold with endless flowers." ”

Jin Shan, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Jiang Wanbai to say such a sentence.

"There's oil down there. By the way, oil is a kind of oil that can be burned, it cannot be extinguished with water, and it can be used to ...... It's just used to do many, many things.

Yesterday we went there with torches, and we were simply going to die. Oil volatilizes, and when it hits fire, we can run fast. "Speaking of this matter now, Jiang Wanbai is a little afraid.

"If you encounter a fire, it will burn, and you can't extinguish it with water? The so-called ghost fire is the burning of oil. Tang Shaozheng asked.

"No, some people were burned to death when they went there during the day. During the day, he probably won't bring torches. The thin monkey felt a little too incredible, and quickly retorted.

"I guess he went there on a sunny day, or even at noon. Oil ignites easily, and the slightest friction, or even strong sunlight, can ignite it. ”

"Is that so? There are really no ghosts in Ghost Rock Beach, all because of this kind of thing called oil. "The skinny monkey is still a little unacceptable.

"Of course. And this clams, which appear here, have nothing to do with this oil. But that's good, I was only one or two points sure that I could find this clams, but now, I have seven or eight points. ”

Speaking of this, everyone immediately put aside the oil matter and asked Jiang Wanbai.

Before dawn the next day, a group of people gathered on the edge of the ghost rock beach. However, everyone stood far away, and no one dared to get closer, for fear of any accidents.

Yuan Huzi and Dong Xian Ling naturally came, standing in the distance and waiting to see Tang Shaozheng's joke.

"Remember what I said?" Jiang Wanbai handed the simple ventilation cylinder that had been made overnight to the thin monkey, and said uneasily.

Tridacnas coexist with zooxanthellae, which in turn cannot do without corals, so as long as you find a water area with significantly higher heat and find patches of corals there, you have a good chance of finding clams. Of course, clams are likely to be overwhelmed by corals, so be careful.

"Remembered." The thin monkey wanted to speak again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and turned over into the sea.

Everything that can be done has been done, Jiang Wanbai led everyone to wait for the thin monkey on the shore. However, she didn't stand with Yuan Huzi and them.

It's a southeast wind today, and they stand there, smelling gasoline, and when the sun shines, it won't be long before they get dizzy and nauseous.

Standing with them is different. This is the upwind place, which seems to be very close to the ghost rock beach, but in fact, when the sea breeze blows, it will not affect them at all.

The waiting time was tormenting, from the time the sun showed a hint of red to the time when the sun rose high, the mood of everyone became more and more anxious like this temperature.

"Auntie......" Jiang Huai looked at the crowd pointing at the opposite side, and couldn't help it.

At this moment, Yuan Huzi suddenly shouted to this side: "That thin monkey, after going down for so long, it didn't even bubble, it is estimated that he has already fed Wang Ba, haha......"

Everyone sighed, and they didn't know if they were sorry for a life, or if they were lamenting the excitement of this drama.

Jiang Wanbai was also a little worried, according to her prediction, the thin monkey should soon reach its limit, if it didn't come out again......

Do you want to go down to save him, Jiang Wanbai was thinking about it, and a red and white hideous giant thing suddenly pushed out and rushed towards the shore.

"What's that?" Someone shouted at the thing.

"Monsters, monsters. The monster is annoyed and is coming for revenge. As soon as he said this, everyone began to flee backwards in panic, and the beach was in chaos.

Of course, there were some calm, and after taking a closer look at the monster, they said in surprise: "There seems to be a person under that thing." ”

Someone? Not a monster! Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, there was a figure under the monster, not a thin monkey or someone.

"It's him, he's not dead." The crowd was amazed.

"Mother, it's a thin monkey." Tang Shaozheng breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise.

"I see it." Jiang Wanbai said with a smile.

Jiang Huai and the others almost jumped up happily, ran to the beach in a few steps, and looked at the thin monkey anxiously. I only hate that I don't understand water, otherwise I will go down to pick him up.

The skinny monkey swam closer and closer, and finally, it reached the shore. Pushing the big millstone-like thing to the shore, he was tired and panting, and suddenly fell to the ground, without any strength left.

By this time, the crowd had gathered around him, gossiping about what was next to him.

"Is this a clam?"

"How do I know, I haven't seen it either."

"I think it's a big shell."

"It's the first time I've seen such a big shell on the bottom of the sea."

……

Tang Shaozheng was also observing the big shell, while observing, while comparing it with the description in the book, the more he looked at it, the more he realized that this was the clams, but he was not completely sure, so he looked at Jiang Wanbai.

The others are not as good as him, so they are all black-eyed.

Jiang Wanbai saw at first glance that this was indeed a clams, and it had been stored at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, and there were some jade blood clams. This is a rare treasure in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

I'm afraid that all the monks and kings will be crazy about it, this thin monkey, I really don't know what his identity is, whether he is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth or the stars descending to earth, he has this kind of luck.

Everyone was waiting, but Jiang Wanbai didn't speak, and some people couldn't bear it.

"What is this? Don't try to fool us with a big shell. "Yuan Huzi struck first.

"Big shells?" Jiang Wanbai chuckled, "The clams, with a large or particularly large shell and a thick chitin, are the 'King of Shells' in the ocean."

The surface is rough, with long raised ribs on the inside, and thick scales on the ribs, which are not very beautiful, but the inside is brightly colored, like a treasure.

You say it's just an ordinary big shell, but you're not fooling yourself. You don't know the clams at all, how can the previous clams be the heirloom of your family. ”

Yuan Huzi was a little speechless when he was questioned, and looked at Dong County Order.

Dong Xian Ling really wanted to beat this fool to death with a stick, so he ignored him at all.

Yuan Huzi couldn't help it, so he simply pretended to be stupid to the end, "Our family's heirloom is just a small piece of clams, I don't know anything strange." ”

"Your family heirloom? As we said before, if the skinny monkey can find another piece of clams, it will prove that what he said is true. Why, are you going to repent? Tang Shaozheng's eyes narrowed and said in a deep voice.

"What repentance? It's not a fair bet at all. Whoever can find a piece of clams will prove who the previous clams belonged to, and if the skinny monkey can find it, I can still find it. "Yuan Huzi completely played a scoundrel.

Tang Shaozheng lazily wasted saliva with him, and asked Dong County Order directly, "The truth of the matter has been revealed, now, is it time to pronounce the verdict." ”

Dong Xian Ling glanced at Yuan Huzi with disgust, only to feel that he was really a muddy mud on the wall, perhaps, it was time for him to change someone.

Yuan Huzi also realized something, stepped forward, and said angrily: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it." You've already dug a trap to trap me. ”

Tang Shaozheng was about to speak again, but Jiang Wanbai walked out and said lightly: "Then what do you want?" Are you going to go down and find a clams? ”

As soon as she said this, Yuan Huzi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, I'm going to go down to find the clams too." If I find it, it means that this clam is not skinny at all, and the previous bet will be invalidated. ”

"You, it's unreasonable." Tang Shaozheng said angrily.

Yuan Huzi didn't care at all, he didn't remember the number of times he was scolded and beaten in his life, so what did it matter. Nothing is more important than profit, and it is not as important as survival.

"What if you can't find it?" Jiang Wanbai asked.

"Then I'm willing to gamble and lose."

"Don't regret it?"

"No repentance." Yuan Huzi waved his hand and said decisively.

"Okay, you go down." Jiang Wanbai said and got out of the way.

"Auntie......" Jiang Huai didn't understand Jiang Wanbai's behavior, obviously they had already won, why did they have to do more.

However, before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Jiang Wanbai, so he could only stand aside and watch obediently.

Yuan Huzi hadn't been to the sea for many years, and of course he wouldn't go by himself, so he called his men and ordered them to go.

His subordinates usually shout at five and six, in order to harm the township, it's okay, if you really want them to go into the water and fight hard, they all become soft-footed shrimp, you push me, I push you, no one wants to go.

Yuan Hu scolded angrily. But the scolding was to no avail, and he took out a gold ingot, "Whoever goes down and finds the clams, this ingot of gold is his." ”

Gold, everyone's eyes flashed. The golden luster, shining under the sun, is like a reflective mirror, which makes people dare not look directly, and their faces are red and their hearts are hot.

The saying that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward is not false at all, and a person jumps out and says that he is willing to try. Immediately afterwards, several people came out and said that they were willing to go to the sea, and even a few people who watched the excitement saw the money and followed to the sea.

Yuan Huzi looked at Jiang Wanbai and Tang Shaozheng proudly, in his opinion, there is only one thin monkey, and he can find the clams, there are so many people here, there will always be one who will find it, and the time will be ......

There were not a few people around him who thought the same way, and even many people began to secretly make up their minds. This clams are expensive, but it is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and now it is inconvenient for many people, so when you go back, you must come here to look for clams.

You can meet it, and in the future, this ghost rock beach will no longer be a ghost rock beach, but a lively place overcrowded. And because of the particularity of this place, I don't know how many people will die here.

Jiang Wanbai was afraid of this situation, so she made this bet with Yuan Huzi. She wants to take the opportunity to let everyone see that not everyone can come to this ghost rocky beach.

In fact, even if Yuan Huzi didn't break the contract, she was prepared. However, now that she saw the gold in Yuan Huzi's hand, she suddenly felt that the heavens were helping her.

It's noon, and the concentration of gasoline vapor is at its maximum during the day when the sun is at its strongest, estimated to be a hundred times stronger than at a gas station.

The current ghost rock beach is like a powder bag, as long as it is slightly stimulated, it will ignite or even explode.

Yuan Huzi shook the gold at the ghost rock beach, as if he was teasing a tiger with meat, and he responded to the sentence, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't die.

By this time, those people were ready to go to sea. If Jiang Wanbai didn't stop it, it was likely that sometime after they went to the sea, the gasoline in the Ghost Rock Beach would be ignited, and they would all be buried in the sea, with no corpses.

There were still some innocent passers-by among these people, and Jiang Wanbai certainly couldn't sit idly by and watch them lose their lives, so she immediately decided to change her plan a little.

"Do you think this gold will work here? It only angers the gods. Jiang Wanbai said, snatched the gold from Yuan Huzi's hand, and threw it towards the ghost stone beach in the distance.

The golden gold collided with the stone, making a tinkling sound and sparks.

After a little coaxing, I don't know where to start, a blue flame erupted from the entire ghost rock beach, covering the sky and the earth, and even the sea surface burned with it.

A huge heat wave hit everyone like an exploding balloon.

"Get down. The gods were angry. Jiang Wanbai roared.

Everyone subconsciously lay down, like ostriches, burying their heads in the sand, feeling the heat on their backs that seemed to roast themselves dry, shivering.

Never been so close to death. There are really evil spirits in this ghost beach. If I survived, I would never come here again, even if it was full of gold. These thoughts crossed everyone's minds.

I don't know how long it took to lie down, but the flames of the ghost rock beach have been completely extinguished, and the surrounding area has also returned to the temperature just now, and everyone still doesn't dare to move, for fear of being devoured by evil ghosts.

Jiang Wanbai was the first to stand up, saw that there was no flame in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, as she thought, judging from the fact that there were no major disasters here before, but only occasional spontaneous combustion, this gasoline was just oozing out and was not connected to the underground oil field. Otherwise, her sin would have been great.

"Get up." Jiang Wanbai said.

No one got up, only a few people looked up slightly, looking around.

When they found that they were finally safe, they collapsed to the ground, feeling like they were going to be left behind.

"Was the gods really angry just now?"

"Definitely. Otherwise, how could there be such a big fire, and it was still blue. ”

"I'm leaving, I'm not coming here again. Even if there is money to pick up here, I will not come. ”

"Wait, I'll be waiting for you. I think my daughter-in-law and my children are gone, and I'm going to go home too. ”

Hulala, the people on the scene walked and scattered, and the huge beach instantly quieted down.

"Would you like to lose?" Jiang Wanbai looked at the frightened Yuan Huzi and asked.

Yuan Huzi looked at his men. When his men met his gaze, they fell to their knees and begged for mercy, and even a few of them fled immediately.

Yuan Huzi sat on the ground and didn't speak, what happened today was far beyond his cognition, he had to think about it, what to do.

"Dong County Order." Tang Shaozheng had already discovered that this Yuan Hu was just a vicious wolf, and Dong Xianling was the cunning embarrassment behind the vicious wolf, and he was also his real enemy.

"Yuan Da falsely accused others, and he was punished with twenty rods. Skinny Monkey acquitted. Yuan Da gave the thin monkey ten taels of silver as compensation and apologized to Mrs. Jiang.

As for your bet, it's up to you to decide. After speaking, Dong Xian Ling flicked his sleeves and left.

"Dong County Order......" Yuan Huzi shouted Dong County Order, but Dong County Order did not reply.

Some of them gave up on themselves, Yuan Huzi puffed up his chest and said in a rough voice: "What do you want me to do, say it." ”

"I don't want you to do anything, I just want you to stay at my house for a few days." Tang Shaozheng said the conditions that had been prepared a long time ago.

Yuan Huzi was a little surprised, he had thought that Tang Shaozheng would humiliate him, and he had also thought that Tang Shaozheng would ask for his life or money, but he didn't expect that he would have such a condition.

"Humph! I can't thank you for it. Yuan Huzi snorted.

"I didn't want you to be grateful to me." Tang Shaozheng said.

Yuan Huzi twisted his head to the side and stopped talking.

"It scares me to death." The thin monkey didn't speak all the time, and when he heard that he was acquitted, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention shifted to the huge clams.

"How much is this thing worth?" Jiang Huai asked drooling while touching the smooth inner wall of the shell.

"I don't change my money." After speaking, Jiang Wanbai said to the thin monkey, "You found this clams, it's yours, you decide what to do with it."

However, I build yì you secretly sell it, or simply take it to a nearby big city to sell. ”

"Give it to me?" The skinny monkey was a little surprised.

"Of course." Tridacnus is worth a lot of money, but it is also exchanged for the life of the thin monkey, Jiang Wanbai still has a conscience, and he will not take it by chance.

With Jiang Huai and the others, who were reluctant to give up, Jiang Wanbai turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait. Old lady, I can also see that you are a good person, you can't ignore me. "A small clams almost died, and now such a big clam, there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, and the thin monkey is really afraid that something will happen again.

"Whatever? What do I care about you. Jiang Wanbai turned around and said.

"I'll sell you this clams, how much it is, you can say whatever you want." The thin monkey hurriedly said.

"Sell it to me...... Jiang Wanbai sighed, "With my net worth, I can't afford to buy this thing at all." And even if you can buy it, this thing is a hot potato. ”

"Old lady, I don't want too much money, you just give me a hundred taels, no, fifty taels is fine. Be pitiful and pitiful, and save me. The thin monkey grabbed Jiang Wanbai's clothes and said pitifully.

"Fifty taels ......" Jiang Wanbai came out this time, and the total principal was only three hundred taels, and she had planned all these money, and there was really no way to embezzle it.

"Otherwise, twenty taels?" The skinny monkey discussed.

"It's not about the money."

The thin monkey was a little discouraged, holding the huge clams, quite a feeling of holding Baoshan and having nowhere to start.

"Mother, if you need money, I have some here." Tang Shaozheng also showed his attitude.

Jiang Wanbai glanced at him, and then said to the thin monkey: "This thing is said to be worth a thousand gold, but if it really wants to be sold, when it can be sold, and how much it will be sold, I don't count."

In this case, I will give you a deposit of fifty taels first, and as for the rest, when I sell it, no matter how much I sell, I will divide half of it. ”

"Fifty taels ......" The thin monkey couldn't hear anything else, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

As soon as the discussion was settled, everyone returned to the small courtyard where they lived.

Jiang Wanbai took fifty taels for the thin monkey, but the thin monkey didn't immediately put the money away this time. Looking at the white silver for a long time, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and said with bright eyes, "Old lady, I can also see that you are really not ordinary people.

On the way back, I was thinking about what I was going to do in the future.

Fifty taels is a lot for me, and it allows me to marry a daughter-in-law and have a child. But what happens after the money is spent? I'm still sitting on the empty side.

I want to follow you, and I will have a place to live in the future, and I beg the old lady to take me in. As he spoke, he slammed his head to the ground and made a "bang" sound.

"Follow us?" Jiang Wanbai didn't expect the thin monkey to say that.

"Yes. You are all people who do great things, and you definitely need someone to help you saddle your horse before and after, I can't be more familiar with this Yancheng, and I will definitely be able to help you. The thin monkey said sincerely.

He really talked about Jiang Wanbai's heart. Their group of people are all outsiders, and some things are really not as convenient as the thin monkey to do.

"Good. Then I'll hire you, half a month, and if you do well in the future, you can add more. Jiang Wanbai said.

"Great, thank you, old lady." The thin monkey stood up happily.

"What is there to be happy about, but to be a slave to others." Yuan Huzi sat on the side and said with disgust.

"Be a minion, I will, you don't care. It's better than your abandoned dog. The thin monkey hated Yuan Huzi, so he took the opportunity to taunt him.

"You ......" Yuan Hu slapped the table and stood up.

"What's wrong with me?" The thin monkey hid behind Jiang Wanbai and probed his brain.

Seeing him like this, Yuan Huzi didn't bother to be angry with him, sitting on the side with his eyes closed and not knowing what he was thinking.

Yuan Huzi lost to Steward Tang and lived in Steward Tang's house. The next day, gossip began to spread all over the streets.

Some people say that Steward Tang asked Yuan Huzi to be a slave for him for a lifetime, and some people say that Steward Tang didn't remember the villain's mistakes, so he was impressed by Yuan Huzi, and the two looked at each other with a smile and hatred......

In response to these rumors, people with good intentions began to prepare to take the opportunity to obtain some benefits. The ordinary people found that although Yuan Huzi was gone, they should pay no less money, and if they wanted to go to work in the salt field, they still had to get the consent of Yuan's family.

"It's useless for you to let me live here like this." On the evening of the third day, Yuan Huzi and Tang Shaozheng sat opposite each other, drinking wine together, like friends.

"How do you know it's useless?" Tang Shaozheng raised his eyebrows.

"What's the use?" Yuan Huzi laughed.

"If it's really useless, you're the one to worry about. Such a huge organization can function without you, so what do you want to do? Tang Shaozheng said leisurely.

Yuan Huzi's face turned black in an instant, and the hand holding the wine glass jumped violently.

Tang Shaozheng continued to drink and eat as if he didn't feel anything.

On the fifth day, Yuan Huzi couldn't sit still at all, "How long do you want to keep me?" ”

"Tomorrow. I'll let you go back tomorrow. ”

The strength of Yuan Huzi's body was as if he had hit cotton, and he felt like he had nowhere to focus, "Really? ”

"Of course." Tang Shaozheng smiled, and after speaking, he turned around and left.

Yuan Huzi stood in place full of doubts, and his heart was not settled. In the middle of the night, he stomped his foot and went back to his room, waiting for the next day to return to his home.
