Soon after Min Wenwen disappeared, the villagers of the monastery returned home one after another, including Niu Xi's father, Niu Bao.

Jia Zhengjin has been squatting in the attic, secretly observing through the rat hole.

Niu Xi sat in a large wooden barrel specially used for bathing, washing his body while tending to the wound on his shoulder, and did not notice that a piece of silver appeared in the dirty clothes that were thrown on the ground behind the wooden baffle.

When Niu Bao returned home, he saw the door open, and heard the sound of water in the room, so he knew that his son was taking a bath.

Niu Xi heard footsteps and knew that his father had come home.

The father and son have a tacit understanding, they both know that the other party is at home, but they don't say a word.

Niu Bao went back to the room and hid the wages he received at the bottom of the box, pressed it with his clothes, and turned to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Passing by his son's room, he saw that the door was open, and his dirty clothes were thrown everywhere like this, so he couldn't help but shake his head, and went straight in and bent down to clean up.

"What are you doing?" Niu Xi, who heard the movement, stood up and stood on tiptoe to look behind the wooden baffle.

"Won't you put it in a bucket?" Niu Bao lifted his son's dirty clothes and shook them, ready to take them outside to soak them so that they could be washed later.

As a result, the silver ingots hidden in Min Wen fell, and smashed to the ground with a "click", making a dull sound.

For a moment, Niu Bao and Niu Xi, father and son, were stunned, staring at the silver ingots on the ground.

"Where's the money?!" almost in unison, father and son both asked.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Niu Xi's eyes dodged.

He suddenly thought to him, would he not have taken it with him carelessly when he came down from the mountain? But such a large ingot of silver, the weight must not be light, and he would be unconscious?

Or is the silver Kiko secretly stuffed into her firewood and then fell into her clothes when she got home, and she didn't pay attention?

Obviously said that the treasure in the maze is half of one person, and there is no reason for Xizi to secretly stuff me with an ingot at this time!

Sure enough, I accidentally brought it back, right?

Niu Xi thought in his heart, but his avoidant gaze made his father Niu Bao suspicious.

His son is a few pounds and a few taels, and he knows very well that he is a father.

I am afraid that this large ingot of silver is far more than the money I have hidden in my chest.

When I go to the monastery every day, the salary is very considerable.

The son followed Niu Shun up the mountain every day to chop firewood, and he never saw a bundle of firewood sold, but he was at home other than that.

According to his character, he has money to gamble with fox friends and dog friends, and he has only recently learned to be at home, how can he suddenly have such a large ingot of silver? There is such a small place at home, and his son can't hide the money.

Moreover, the silver is in the garment, and it must be found only today.

So the question is, he and Niu Shun went up the mountain to chop firewood all day, where did the money come from?

Why did he look away? Could it be that the silver came from the wrong way?

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, Niu Bao was so anxious: "Xizi, what's going on with this silver?

"I went up the mountain with Junzi to chop wood, what can I do that is unseemly?" Niu Xi felt that this silver was accidentally brought back by himself, and he was also anxious.

"I have never heard of a mountain where you can pick up silver. Niu Bao hurriedly said, "Where did you come from? You make it clear! If it's not ours, hurry up and return it." ”

"Leave it alone, give me the silver!" Niu Xi stretched out his hand from behind the wooden baffle, "I'll handle it myself!"

"Deal with it, you make this matter clear first, you can't do anything wrong!" Niu Bao became more and more scared the more he thought about it, he originally felt that his son had been restrained recently, and he was much more well-behaved. When something like this happens suddenly, everyone has to think crookedly. Could it be that the son went up the mountain with Niu Shun to cut firewood under the pretext of actually going to other places? But no one in the village had such a large ingot of silver...... No, the sheep family should have it, could it be that he stole it from the sheep family?

"What can I do?" Niu Xi was very anxious, "give me the silver." ”

"What the hell are you doing today? Dad can still help you here, if someone else knows, it will be troublesome!" Niu Bao decided that there was a problem with the origin of the silver, "Tell me honestly, let's think of a way......

"What can you do? This silver is mine!" Niu Xi saw that his father's voice was a little loud under the excitement, and he was afraid that Niu Shun would hear it, after all, the two families lived very closely.

When the money was returned, he could still find a way to sneak into the treasure when he went to the labyrinth the next day, pretending that nothing had happened.

Niu Shun divided half of his treasure, and there was no need to cause trouble for a silver ingot.

Of course, the premise is that Niu Shun can't know, in case he mistakenly thinks that he is not satisfied with half of the treasure, and actually steals the silver from him, the consequences are unimaginable.

In a hurry, he couldn't take much care of it, so he jumped out of the barrel bare-chested, ran over and snatched the silver from his father.

The words were not clear, of course Niu Bao wanted to ask. When the son reached out to grab it, he subconsciously shrank back, but the action was still relatively fast for the young man, and the silver was taken back, but he was carried forward by inertia and fell directly to the ground.

It didn't break, but I felt more and more that there was something wrong with the silver, otherwise why would my son be so nervous?

"What are you yelling about?!yelling at what?!" Niu Xi clutched the silver ingot tightly, "You wish others would hear it?"

"If this silver is fine, what are you afraid of?!I'm your father, tell me honestly, what did you do today?!!" Niu Bao almost beat his chest, "We can't do this! We are our own people, we can't do evil!"

"Why are you doing evil? This silver has no problem coming from!" Niu Xi said anxiously, "What are you yelling about? Can you speak quietly?"

"If the silver is fine, why are you in a hurry? Why do you want me to whisper?" Having said that, Niu Bao still lowered his voice, completely worried about his son, "To be honest, you really went to the mountains with Niu Shun to chop wood?

"Don't think nonsense here," Niu Xi casually took a clean dress and put it on, "I tell you, there is no problem with the silver! I just went to the mountains with Junko, and I didn't go anywhere." You don't think you saw it, you know?"

"If you don't tell me, it's okay!" Niu Bao trembled, "I'll go to Junzi's side and ask to see if you really went up the mountain with him today!"

"It's the same with Junko, if I don't go up the mountain to chop wood, can my shoulders be like this?" Niu Xi exposed his wounds.

"Where does the money come from?"

"What do you care about this? In short, tell you that the silver came innocently, and there is absolutely no evil!" Niu Xi said in a deep voice, "Don't ask Junzi, this is a matter between me and him." ”

"Then you have to tell me what's going on, right? Could it be that Junko said that he was taking you to chop wood, but in fact he was doing other big things without us?"

"As far as his honest man is concerned, what big can he do?" Niu Xi cautiously glanced out the window, "In short, I will explain the matter of silver to you in the future, and there is absolutely no problem." ”

"Can't you make it clear now?"

"I can't tell you now!
