Chapter 330: Treasure in the Bottomless Pit
The group walked forward not far away, Ouyang Lei, the little fat man, maybe too idle, he quickly came to the side of the guide Aza, and began to ask questions.
Ouyang Lei asked: "Brother Aza, what does that wild monkey look like, have you seen it?!" ”
Aza shook his head and said: "I haven't seen that thing, we have an old man here before, unlucky to meet once, the old man has practiced martial arts, with a mountain knife in his hand, and the wild monkey for a while, although he was not licked face, but he broke an arm before running down the mountain, but unfortunately he died a few years ago......
At this point, Aza stopped, presumably he didn't know what to say.
Ouyang Lei let out an "oh" and asked again: "Then in recent years, apart from you, has anyone else been to the bottomless pit of Savage Mountain?!" ”
Aza shook his head and said: "Now that the people in the town are living well, who has nothing to do to go to that dangerous place, isn't it uncomfortable to find it?" ”
Ouyang Lei thought about it, and he asked Aza curiously, "Brother Azha, since it is easy to encounter wild monkeys when entering the mountains, and wild monkeys are so terrifying, other villagers dare not take us into the mountains, why are you willing?!" ”
Aza smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't it because of the high price given by Lao Jin, I have a son who goes to college at home, and since my family does not have the forest farm, the money for the child's school is already beyond his means, and two years later, the child graduates, and he has to marry a daughter-in-law for the child, and he needs money everywhere, and I will die of worry when I think about it!" ”
Indeed, it is very hard for parents nowadays, especially those who raise their sons, whether in the city or in the countryside, after providing for their children's college, they have to take out almost half a lifetime or even a lifetime of savings to marry their sons.
Speaking of this matter, Aza's heart was dull, and he seemed to open the conversation, and he said to Ouyang Lei: "In addition, I dare to take you people into the forest, also because I know a relatively secluded path, there are few people walking, but it is very safe, when I used to work in the forest farm, I figured it out by myself, I went to Savage Mountain two or three times along that path, and I also passed through the bottomless pit, and I also picked up a treasure from there......"
Baby? How can there be a baby???!!!
Ouyang Lei has always been a fan of money, and as soon as he heard that there was a treasure, he immediately stared at him with round eyes and pricked up his ears.
Aza saw that Ouyang Lei's little fat man's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.
Ouyang Lei's face became like this, and Aza regretted talking too much just now, so he lowered his head and walked forward quickly, wanting to stay away from Ouyang Lei.
However, how could Ouyang Lei let go of Aza?
Ouyang Lei simply walked around to the front of the guide Aza, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Aza, what kind of treasure is that, let's hear it!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong has been walking behind Ouyang Lei and Gu Lili, although Ouyang Lei ran to the front, but Zhou Xiaolong's ears are very useful, and he can also hear what Ouyang Lei and Aza say.
At this moment, he heard that there was a treasure, and Zhou Xiaolong also pricked up his ears to listen, because he was also curious, what treasures would be in the bottomless pit?!
"Actually...... In fact, it can't be said to be a treasure, it should be a kind of medicinal material, a very precious medicinal material......" Aza said in a hurry.
"Oh, what herbs?!" Ouyang Lei asked.
"I don't know the name, it looks like a white lump, people in the village often come to collect this thing, one or two can be sold for thousands of yuan, the one I picked up last time weighed two catties, and I bought it for 20,000 yuan?" Aza continued.
"Oh, that's a lot, you can sell more than 20,000 yuan for just picking up something, why don't you pick up some more?!" Ouyang Lei smiled and said.
"How can it be so easy, and then I thought about coming here again to pick up that thing to make some money, and I never picked it up again," said Aza after a pause and continued, "The last time I went to that neighborhood before, I always felt that something was following me, so I was a little scared, and I didn't go to the place, I turned back halfway, and when I got home, I also had a high fever, or my wife went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask for me, and since that time, I have never been near the bottomless pit......"
Zhou Xiaolong listened to the conversation between Aza and Ouyang Lei, and he thought in his heart that the thing that Aza picked up could be bought for thousands of yuan for one or two, and this was only the purchase price, in other words, the lump was sold on the market, and it was likely to be a rare thing of great value.
Zhou Xiaolong felt that maybe the mysterious Jin Hui was also here to find that thing, and it was very likely that Aza and Jin Hui were looking for the same thing.
Ouyang Lei, who was walking in front, didn't speak anymore, because he was thinking about his thoughts.
Aza smiled and said to Ouyang Lei: "If it weren't for the fact that my family is too poor, my health is not good, and I can't do any hard work, I won't worry about this matter, I only have one thought in my heart now, I hope to take you to the bottomless pit this time, I can pick up a lump on the road, go back and sell it for more money, let my son finish college, and then marry a good daughter-in-law, even if I die in this deep mountain and old forest, I am satisfied......"
Ouyang Lei was a little moved when he heard this, this should be the so-called "pity the hearts of parents in the world"!
So, Ouyang Lei comforted Aza a few words, and what he said after that was meaningless, and Zhou Xiaolong didn't listen carefully.
However, Zhou Xiaolong felt that in this operation, Jin Hui and Aza, they both had things on their minds, and it seemed that the purpose was more mysterious than the other.
Zhou Xiaolong should be vigilant and not fully trust these two people, lest Professor Cui, Gu Lili and Ouyang Lei be deceived.
……
The couple walked for a while, and slowly, the sky was already dark.
The weather in the mountains is really short days and long nights.
Aza and Jin Hui led everyone to a relatively flat place, where they put down the equipment they had brought and prepared to spend the night here.
So everyone got busy and set up their tents before it got dark.
Aza and Jin Hui are better at this, Zhou Xiaolong is on the side to help the two of them, and Professor Cui and Gu Lili are starting to prepare today's dinner.
Dinner is simple, but at least boil some water to drink.
In this field operation, Jin Hui brought an alcohol stove, but it is best to order a bonfire for the night in the mountains, which can not only keep warm, but also drive away the animals that run at night.
Ouyang Lei volunteered to pick up firewood, and Zhou Xiaolong reminded Ouyang Lei loudly, "Da Lei, you can't run around, just pick up firewood around, do you know, what if you encounter any mountain spirits and wild monsters?!" ”
Ouyang Lei smiled and said, "Master, don't scare me, I am wearing a magic weapon around my neck now, if there are really any mountain spirits and wild monsters, they will definitely not be able to hide from me......"
After speaking, Ouyang Lei ran away with great interest.
