Chapter 386: A Quiet Courtyard
Walking along a stone path that no one had walked for a long time, Shoko walked leisurely as if she was visiting a park. Although the sun is scorching, the gentle mountain breeze brings a slight coolness. The smooth luck of the treasure on both sides made Xiangzi feel a little relieved and peaceful, but the three of them had a conversation without a word, which made his heart ripple.
Xiangzi heard that there was a batch of golden sand hidden in the mountains, and his heart couldn't help but move, his footsteps stagnated for a while, and he continued to walk forward as if nothing happened.
Turning over a shallow beam, a small flat land appeared in front of Huo Ran, and under the axe-like cliff at the end of the flat land, there were faint traces of rocky accumulation. It seems that no one has touched it for a few years, and the weeds around it are obviously superior.
Xiangzi Ni glanced at the sloppy man who was full of thoughts, and saw that he hurriedly pointed to the rocks as if he had woken up from a dream and said, "Right below here, there is an abandoned alleyway, and it is very wide. ”
Xiangzi smiled at him, and said with a casual look: "Still thinking about those golden sands?" ”
He smiled with a puzzled face and said: "I've almost touched the mountain, and there is no place to hide things, it's really weird, why is there no trace at all." ”
The corners of Xiangzi's mouth pursed a faint smile and said: "Dozens of bags of golden sands don't take up much space, and if you throw them in that puddle, you won't be easily discovered." ”
After listening to this, he scratched the top of his head that began to lose his hair contemplatively, and muttered to himself: "That's it, there are a lot of puddles on the mountain, where can he hide?"
Seeing that Shuzhen and Juanzi felt that the mountain was boring, they put their hands on their foreheads and looked down the mountain. Shoko grinned and said, "Don't you want to be the king of the mountain?" I'll take you to a good place. So saying, he walked down the hill along the way he came.
Passing by the kiln, I saw dozens of wooden boxes neatly arranged in the open space, and Jia Hu and Wuzi were beckoning people to use a small cart to transfer them out of the mountain.
With the experience of clearing the mountain last time, I knew that the mountain cars could not enter at all, and only by using carts or horse-drawn carts could the things in the mountains be transported out. So, this time, Jia Hu transferred more than a dozen trolleys from the infrastructure camp.
Seeing Jia Hu coming towards him sweating profusely, Xiangzi smiled slightly and said, "It's going well, right?" ”
Jia Hu smiled and said, "It's going well, everything is out of the hole, and it will be all loaded into the car in another hour or two." ”
Xiangzi smiled with relief and said, "Let the fifth son take care of it, and you and I will go to the small courtyard." In addition, leave the cart behind, and you will have to use it tomorrow. Jia Hu glanced at Xiangzi with a slight hesitation, and then ran towards the five sons who greeted the loaded car.
Without two god-like sentry posts, the mysterious courtyard seems more quiet. A row of three-door blue brick houses, still staring blankly at the visitors, the two oleanders opposite the house, the pink flowers are blooming. The apricot tree in the corner of the wall is still so commotional and tries to reach out of the wall.
Juanzi looked obsessed, squinted and spread her arms in the courtyard, spun a few times childlikely, and said thoughtfully: "I like this courtyard, so I will be the king's palace, I live in the middle room with Shuzhen, Mingyue and Qiuhong live in the east room, and there is a dog in the courtyard." ”
Seeing her self-beauty, Xiangzi grinned and said jokingly: "The king will take a look at the palace first, and let's walk around to see if there are any treasures to give to the king." As he spoke, he smiled and walked slowly along the courtyard wall.
Passing through a dense cluster of reeds, Xiangzi's footsteps paused slightly, and Jia Hu hurriedly took a step forward and said, "That box of tickets was found from here." As he spoke, he parted the reeds, revealing a small shallow hole in the stone wall.
Xiangzi Ni smiled and said, "You kid can dig through the mouse hole, and you can find this place?" ”
Jia Hu smiled and said, "I flipped through the dark when I saw it, how did you see it?" ”
Xiangzi pouted and smiled and said: "You turned the reeds here upside down so that a few reeds were broken, and a discerning person will know at a glance that there is a famous place behind the reeds." ”
Jia Hu smiled in admiration and said in a low voice: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”
Seeing Shuzhen carrying a golden hand pot (a tool used by the Muslims to wash their faces and hands), she came with a smile and a smile, and Juanzi followed behind her.
Xiangzi smiled and said, "What kind of treasure did you pick up, look at the fun of you." ”
Shuzhen raised the pot in her hand with a slight expression, Ni glanced at Jia Hu and said, "I don't want such a good thing, sterling silver." ”
Jia Hu looked a little unconvinced and said: "What kind of sterling silver, I think it's an ordinary copper kettle, so I'm too lazy to take it." ”
Shuzhen yelled at him mysteriously, approached Jia Hu and said, "Look here, it's obviously silver." ”
Jia Hu took a closer look, and the place where he had been gripping for a long time had indeed worn off a thin copper color, revealing a blue and white silver. So, he bowed his hand with admiration and said: "It's still the teacher's poisonous eyes, admire." ”
Before the words fell, Shuzhen slapped him heavily on the shoulder with a pot and said: "What is the master and not the master, I can't change my mouth for a long time, call me aunt or aunt, what is it indiscriminately." As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Hu with a resentful look.
Jia Hu playfully stuck out his tongue and made a grimace to hide behind Xiangzi's back. Juanzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "What's the matter with calling a teacher?" Anyway, the relationship between our family is difficult for outsiders to sort out. As he spoke, he smiled softly at Jia Hu and said, "In the future, you can scream whatever you like, if she bullies you, there will be me, my mother-in-law." ”
When Xiangzi heard this, he sneered and said, "I think you simply take your two aunts up the mountain together, so as not to bully me with your daughter-in-law and son-in-law in the future." ”
Juanzi pouted and smiled, and said in a strange voice: "Think beautifully!" coaxed us to go up the mountain to be bandits, and if the ditch didn't cover the heat, you led people to kill us, and also had a reputation for killing relatives in righteousness. Then get a young and beautiful goblin to hug you, it's beautiful! As he spoke, he glanced at Shoko with a slanted gaze.
Everyone has already laughed here, Xiangzi couldn't hold back his laughter, pointed his finger at Juanzi and said: "It's all going back to school, and my heart is getting more and more thiefy." ”
As soon as the words fell, it annoyed Shuzhen. I saw her pick up the pot and smash it towards Xiangzi's body, smashing it empty, and shouting with a pant in her mouth: "Your mother-in-law is shouting that she wants to go up the mountain to be a bandit, and it will be my, so I don't bother to care about you to take back ten or eight miles, anyway, I will not enter your family's grave." ”
said, giving Juanzi a secret look. Seeing that Juanzi was about to rush over to get started, Xiangzi jumped back smartly, twisted his body and ran towards the back of the house.
On the right side of the blue brick house, among the dense small trees, a beautiful stone path leads to the secluded place. The backyard is a natural blue-gray stone foundation, the whole is flat and open, and the strange thing is that there is an arc-shaped wall more than two feet high, which naturally becomes the barrier of the backyard. A few stalagmites of different heights protruding from the vultures, as far as the vicissitudes of time, and a few clusters of green, dotted in the low-lying stone pits, everything seems quiet and harmonious.
Seeing Xiangzi's vague expression, Ma Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There is a well here, which is eaten by the people in the courtyard, and people usually don't come here." As he spoke, he pointed to a taller stalagmite.
Xiangzi walked over, saw that there was a stone cave behind the stalagmite that could barely get down to people, stretched out his head to take a closer look, and saw a pool of clear water like a mirror looking at the sky in the distance, but next to a white cloud, there was more of his own shadow.
Jia Hu was also busy hooking his neck to look, Xiangzi smiled slightly, picked up a stone and threw it down the well, and instantly let out a dull grunt.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Xiangzi smiled slightly, and said casually: "The well water is quite deep. ”
