Spend time in the mountains until the sun is about to set.

Back in the village, the firewood was delivered to a few fixed households, and then sat in front of the door and waited.

Niu Xi went home after dark.

It was estimated that when their dinner was almost over, Jia Zhengjin went over and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Niu Xi opened the door and looked out.

"I, Niu Shun. Jia Zhengjin asked in a low voice, "Has Uncle Bao slept?"

"Why? Didn't you pay for firewood?"

"It's not!"

"Oh!" Niu Xi said indifferently, "he went to sleep after eating, and I was ready to go back to my room to rest." Is there something going on?

"No!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm not here to find Uncle Bao. ”

"Why don't you ask him to come to my house?"

"I ...... I'm looking for you. ”

"Looking for me?" Niu Xi looked at the neighbor who didn't know him very well. His father Niu Bao is very smooth and often communicates, but he basically never said a few words to him.

"Is it convenient to get to my house?" Jia Zhengjin asked softly, "I want to ask you for help with something." ”

"We don't know each other that well, right? The village says you're honest, not like me messing around all day long, aren't you afraid of being spoiled by me?"

"I don't think you're as bad as others say. Jia Zhengjin pretended to be cautious and looked around, "Xizi, although we don't interact much, we are neighbors after all." And I often send firewood to Uncle Bao, so I know a little bit about your father and son. If I hadn't really asked for something, I wouldn't have looked for you. If you can come to me, I'll delay you for a while. ”

"......" Niu Xi looked Jia Zhengjin up and down, as if he was thinking. After about a few minutes, he nodded slowly, "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the county, and I'm going to sleep soon." You make a long story short, don't waste my time. If I can, I'll help you, I can't help you find someone else. ”

"Okay, come on, don't wake Uncle Bao. Jia Zhengjin turned around and ran towards Niu Shun's house.

Niu Xi turned around and closed the door, and followed very lightly.

Taking Niu Xi into the thatched house, Jia Zhengjin carefully checked the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one, he gently closed the door and led him to the wooden table lit with candles: "Sit!"

"There's something to talk about. Niu Xi was not polite, and sat directly on the wooden bench.

Jia Zhengjin nodded, turned around and came to the bed by the pyre in the corner, turned his back to Niu Xi and pretended to rummage, and then took out a silver ingot from the virtual backpack.

But after thinking about it for a while, he put away the silver ingots, exchanged them for dozens of copper coins, came to the table with both hands, and fell on it with a "bang".

Niu Xi saw these copper coins and showed a puzzled expression: "Shunzi, what does this mean?"

Jia Zhengjin sat opposite Niu Xi, lowered his voice and said, "Xizi, do you know what this is?"

"! Niu Xi rolled his eyes, "You saved by selling firewood every day? I thought you wouldn't have enough to eat!"

"No!" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be mysterious and whispered to him, "I really don't have enough money to sell firewood to eat, and I don't save it." It's a windfall!"

"Shouldn't you steal it, the people in the village say you're honest. ”

"How can I steal something?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly said, "Actually, this money ...... I picked it up in the mountains. ”

"Cut!" Niu Xi stood up directly when he heard this, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly went over to stop, "Why are you leaving?"

"Go ahead up the hill and pick up the money! I'm going back to sleep." Niu Xi obviously didn't believe it.

"No, Kiko, I didn't lie to you. Jia Zhengjin forcibly pulled him and asked him to sit back, "You listen to me first." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Niu Xi was a little impatient.

After Jia Zhengjin asked him to sit down, he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to get rich?"

"Who doesn't want to get rich? You don't want me to go up the mountain to pick up money together, right? If you really want to be rich, why can't others pick it up?" Niu Xi said coldly, "What are you going to do?"

"Kiko, you listen to me first. Jia Zhengjin calmed his emotions, then turned around and took out a silver ingot from the virtual backpack, carefully wrapped it in his sleeves, and slowly moved it to the table.

Niu Xi couldn't see what was under the sleeves of his shirt, and stared at each other suspiciously.

It wasn't until Jia Zhengjin lifted his sleeves to reveal the silver inside that his eyes widened and his expression of shock.

This big ingot of silver is not something that Niu Shun, who chops wood every day, can earn. Even the village chief's house only has some scattered silver, and he can't take out such a complete ingot, and the condition is so beautiful.

Probably only the wealthy households in the county can get this kind of silver ingot.

"Where did it come from?" Niu Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling his mouth dry.

"Do you believe me?" Jia Zhengjin asked softly.

"If you don't make it clear, how can I believe it?" Niu Xi's gaze moved away from the silver ingot and fell on Jia Zhengjin's face.

"Xizi, I won't hide it from you!" Jia Zhengjin stood up, pretended to check outside the door, and then returned to the table after making sure that no one was there, and said softly, "I had a dream last night. In my dream, I saw my mother standing beside me. She said to me that my parents had done good deeds during their lifetime, and that they should be blessed after they died. My mother told me to go to the bottom of the cliff where she had fallen, where there was enough gold and silver treasure for me to spend my life. ”

"It's just a dream, can it come true?" Niu Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"I thought so too, but the dream was too real! And my mother repeatedly told me to go and see it. Jia Zhengjin said, "So when I was chopping wood today, I couldn't help but be curious about the past." Seriously, I'm worried about what if I run into jackals, tigers and leopards, but luckily, there are some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects over there, and there are no wild animals. And guess what, when I got to the bottom of the cliff, I followed the path my mother had told me about, and I found a very hidden cave. ”

"Caves?"

"Yes, my mother said that there was a treasure in the cave, and there was gold and silver everywhere. Jia Zhengjin said softly, "Don't say it, I walked around the entrance of the cave today, and I saw a rotten small wooden box, which contained this ingot of silver and a lot of copper coins." It is estimated that there are indeed countless chests in the cave, with countless gold and silver ......"

"Is there such a thing?" Niu Xi asked with wide eyes and hesitation, "...... You're telling me this, aren't you afraid I'll tell you?"

"Although we don't have much to do with each other, we live right next to you, and I have watched you since I was a child and know your character. Jia Zhengjin said, "To be honest, I didn't want to tell anyone that it was best to make a fortune by myself." Besides, this was originally brought by my mother's dream, and it should have belonged to me. But inside the cave was a huge labyrinth, and the entrance was sealed, so I didn't know how to get in. You also know that I don't understand these twists and turns, and I can't open them even if I try my best. I don't know many people, and I can trust even fewer people. Come to think of it, you are the most reliable. And you've been out there a lot, you've seen the world, and you're sure to be able to find a way to help me get into the labyrinth. As long as you are willing to help me, we will divide the gold and silver in the labyrinth equally. But we can't tell anyone else that it's our secret, okay?"
