The cold wind was howling, the snow was falling, the land was covered in silver, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

Now that the three demons of Bishui Country have gone to the second, there is only the Fortune Demon, the Wealth Devil is the earliest to become famous among the three demons, but the fierce name is the weakest one, because he basically only takes treasures, does not take people's lives, and even leaves some money. Of course, if he encounters Scrooge and would rather lose his life than give up the treasure, he will also kill the killer. There are also some people who think that their skills are superb, as soon as they hear that they want their own family heirlooms, they shoot directly, and they don't talk nonsense at all, so he doesn't talk nonsense, and he shoots ruthlessly, if it doesn't go well, he may have to destroy people, but after all, he has done less sins. According to the news of the emperor's predecessors, a hundred years ago, the wealth demon suddenly changed sexuality, made a good relationship, was willing to give, responded to requests, built roads and bridges, and is now called the God of Wealth, he renamed the villa as the good fortune villa.

Zu Zhenlin and the emperor beggar walked on the road, stepping on the snow, starting from the first snow, in the past half a month, there have been three snowfalls, one is bigger than the other, the weather has been gloomy, the sun is not visible, and the snow has reached the calves.

In winter, it gets dark very quickly, and when it is cloudy, it is already dark just after the unitary.

The two walked in the mountains and saw a ruined temple, which used to be together for a night, which was much better than in the snow.

The temple is still in good condition, although the surrounding walls are damaged, they have not collapsed, and they can also shelter from the wind and snow. One door is gone, and the other side is half rotten. When they entered it, they found that there was already a person, sitting by the fire, and that person was an old man, dressed as a rich man, with white hair, but with a ruddy face.

When the old man saw Zu Zhenlin and them, he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that on such a cold day, I could still see people in this barren mountains and mountains, it's rare." Eat and drink together. ”

The old man was about to eat, and there were roast chicken and peanuts on the ground, wrapped in oiled paper, and a small wine jug in his hand.

The two of them were not polite, and walked to the fire and sat down.

The emperor beggar was really unkind, he directly tore off a chicken leg, took the wine jug from someone's hand, and ate and drank.

The old man looked at his empty hands, a little embarrassed, he was just polite, but he didn't expect the arrival to be unceremoniously, just eat his own chicken, and drink his only pot of wine.

The emperor smiled and said: "I'm really embarrassed, your wine and meat smell hooked my gluttony, come and taste my wine, but it should be warm, you can wait." ”

After the emperor beggar finished speaking, he motioned to Zu Zhenlin to take the wine, Zhenlin really couldn't cry or laugh, he was too good at calculating, he had already taken several jars of wine from himself, and he had to take it out himself. He took out two jars of wine from the storage ring, not for the sake of satisfying his stomach, and did not take the mare's milk wine brought from the grassland, but from his hometown, and handed one jar to the white-haired old man.

The old man took the wine jar, patted open the mud, took a sip, the mellow fragrance was refreshing, and he happily let Zhenlin eat chicken, which was another wine sac.

"Where are you going to go on this snowy day? I think in this barren mountain range, a radius of a hundred miles, it is also a good fate of the mountain villa, I guessed right. The white-haired old man asked himself.

"That old gentleman also went to Shanyuan Villa? I heard that Shanyuan Villa has a wide range of heroes all over the world, and anyone in trouble can come to the door for help, I don't know if it's true? If it's true, then the owner of the village is really a good person, admirable. Zu Zhenlin admired.

"What a good person is, it's just an old man who has made a big mistake, learned his way, and wants to make up for it. The white-haired old man muttered.

"What's the matter, the old man and the owner of the Shanyuan Mountain Villa know each other?" Zu Zhenlin didn't hear what the old man said, but he heard that it was related to the owner.

"Of course I know, I am also in the Zhuangzi, take care of something, if the two of you want to have any difficulties, you can tell me, for the sake of the little brother's wine, I can introduce the two to our young owner, to be honest, now the owner of the villa is the second young owner, and the old owner has long been careless, like an idle cloud and a wild crane. The white-haired old man smiled.

"Then there is labor, in fact, we don't have anything to do, we just heard about the name of the villa, and we want to open our eyes. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Okay, in fact, there is nothing special, it is a slightly spectacular and luxurious Zhuangzi, tomorrow I will lead the way, two rest assured, it will definitely satisfy your curiosity, let you have a good visit." The white-haired old man vouched, it seems that he is really a steward.

"Then there is the old man. Zu Zhenlin said gratefully.

The three of them ate and drank to their heart's content, and slept on the ground.

According to the emperor's statement, the wealth demon has changed his ways, Zu Zhenlin curiously asked the emperor what he planned to do with him, but the emperor did not answer, only said that he would see when the time came. Zhenlin persuaded that if it was really the same as the rumors, let him go. At that time, the emperor said meaningfully: If a person makes a mistake or makes a great mistake, can he not accept punishment just because he knows his mistakes and corrects them and makes some amends?

The night was dark, and the cold wind howled, as if a beast had been chosen to devour people from outside the ruined temple, which was terrifying.

At the end of the day, the three people in the broken temple had finished their luck and had already fallen asleep.

Suddenly, the half of the door that was closed by Zu Zhenlin collapsed, and the snowflakes flew and shook all directions.

"Alas, I didn't expect there to be people here. One person shouted in surprise.

One person took the lead, and seven or eight people poured in from the door, their steps were noisy and messy, and they were not masters. All three of them had woken up, but they didn't move, wanting to see what this group of people was going to do, not like some good people, otherwise they wouldn't have kicked the door and made noise.

By the light of the fire, they saw three people inside, an old man with gray hair, a down-and-out beggar, and a young man with no hair at all. He cleared his throat, raised the bright ghost head knife, and shouted: "Wake up, someone is coming, hurry up." ”

The three of them pretended to be awake, got up from the ground, and looked at the people who had entered, and there were seven of them, all of them burly and muscular men, with two pairs of arms bulging, dressed in clothes made of animal skins, covered with snow, and holding dicks in their hands.

The white-haired old man stepped forward to talk, "Heroes, since the encounter is fate, you don't have to be polite, everyone comes in to rest on the fire, you don't need to call us, you can just do it at will." ”

"Are you stupid old man, who is polite to you, our brother is worried, I didn't expect to meet you three stinky tomatoes and rotten bird eggs, it's really an endless road, Lao Tzu is now down, so I won't pick it, obediently hand over all the valuable things on your body to Lao Tzu, I will let you live, hurry up." The leader urged.

The three of them listened to his words, and almost laughed out loud, what is this, in the middle of the night, they can encounter robberies in this wilderness and broken temple, and these people are poor and crazy?

The bandit looked at the expressions of the three of them, and the leader said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Do you think Lao Tzu is joking?" After he finished speaking, he raised his knife to split the already crumbling table next to him and demonstrated to the three of them.

The emperor patted the clothes on his body, covered in dust, "If you don't dislike it, I'll take off my clothes for you, but I haven't washed them for a few days, it may be a little smelly, but it's winter now, as long as it's not a dog's nose, it doesn't matter." ”

The leader pointed a knife at him and said in disgust: "Get out of the way for Lao Tzu, this is called Huazi who has not frozen to death in the snow in winter." ”

Zu Zhenlin is carrying a small package, but it is a trick, he doesn't want to expose his storage ring, in vain to cause trouble, this ring is not ordinary, it is owned by his father as the head of the family, and he gives it to himself, leaving a thought, and it is also convenient for him to store things. This kind of ring is only available to the top Hao Valve faction, and there is a hole in it, known as a small world, not comparable to other storage rings, but it is something that can make masters above the Chengdan realm interested. In the package, a few changes of clothes, dry food to eat, scattered silver taels, and the ring was placed in the bosom.

Now the small package was placed on the ground, Zu Zhenlin stood up and didn't take it, and someone came over and took it. The white-haired old man also had a burden, which he held in his arms and clung to it. Originally, a person who wanted to search Zhenlin's body was attracted to the past, waved the big knife in his hand, and made a gesture to cut off the old man's arm, and the white-haired old man quickly let go, and his heart ached.

They opened their burdens and saw the things that Zu Zhenlin had brought, their faces were full of disgust, "Poor boy, you dare to come out if you have no money, don't you want to eat too." ”

When the old man's baggage was opened, their eyes were straight, full of yellow and white things, and there was a turquoise bead, although small, like quail eggs, but it emitted a turquoise light, dazzling eyes, and should be worth a thousand gold.

The bandits were stunned for a while, overjoyed, and the leader shouted excitedly: "Brothers, I'll tell you that Lao Tzu is blessed with Qitian, and you can't be wrong with me, right?"

The subordinates repeatedly said yes, and they slapped their ass.

The white-haired old man said anxiously: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the savings that the little old man has saved by selling all his belongings, and that bead is my heirloom, this is my meeting gift for the child to get an errand in Shanyuan Villa, please let me go for the sake of Shanyuan Villa." ”

Zu Zhenlin stood aside, listening to the old man's anxious tone, but his facial expressions and behavior were slightly poor, not in place, and he was also a fun-loving master.

When the bandit leader heard this, he was even happier, "We are really destined, our brothers are desperate, and we also want to take refuge in Shanyuan Villa." If you're from Shanyuan Villa, we really don't dare to do anything to you? Since you're not, then we'll laugh at it, but in order to thank you, this bag of things will also be counted as yours, and let your son follow me when the time comes. ”

The old man kept shaking his head and kept begging for mercy, expressing his embarrassment.

The bandit leader was impatient, angry, and kicked out directly, fiercely, and kicked the old man in the chest, and the old man flew out in response, and after falling to the ground, he covered his chest and screamed and wailed.

Zu Zhenlin noticed that when the bandit leader's foot was about to be kicked, the light on the old man's chest flashed and disappeared, blocking it with his aura.

The old man winked at Zhenlin and the two, grinned, Zhenlin went over and helped him up.

The bandit leader was proud, "Remember the old man, when you get to the mountain, you dare to ramble on the big things of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

In the end, the bandit leader put away his things, and they occupied most of the place, squinting and sleeping, squeezing the three of Zhenlin into a corner.
