Chapter 201: Few people dare to go up
After a burst of laughter, the old urchin's sleepiness was gone. Since they are all here, I will teach them a few more hours, and when it is daybreak, I will take these little cubs to the woods to hunt some game.
didn't get the answer she wanted, Zhang Xiaoyan always felt that there was a knot in her heart that she couldn't solve, and occasionally secretly looked at the old naughty boy.
The old naughty boy can see it in his eyes, and he doesn't poke it, what should he do!
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoyan told the old naughty boy about being followed yesterday, and Zhao Si and the others also pricked up their ears.
"In that case, you should pay extra attention when you go up the mountain. Yesterday at noon, I was catching rabbits in the woods over there and saw a few people go up the mountain. It seems that they should all know martial arts, and I don't know if they came to collect medicine or have other bad intentions, so it's better for everyone to be careful. The old urchin also talked about the situation he encountered yesterday, thinking that the rumor that there was a ghost on the mountain might have been subsided for too long, and I was afraid that he would have to make some noise.
Hearing that there were other people going up the mountain, Zhao Si said with some worry: "If those people are very powerful, it is not safe for the master to live here, it is better to go down the mountain with us, my family is a big place, if the master does not want to live with too many people, I will ask my father to find another place to place the master." ”
"No, no, no! Master likes not to go anywhere here, just be careful when you go up and down the mountain, okay, it's not too early, you can go down the mountain. Yes...... The master is also sleepy, so he has to sleep well. You all bring back the prey, there are too many delicious foods in the master's cave, and you can't finish eating, let's go, let's go! The old urchin stretched and yawned and went into the cave.
Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the back of the old naughty boy, and then divided the prey into several parts and put them in a frame, and put the herbs that had just been picked on top of the prey and covered it.
"Xiaoyan, did the master go to the forest to catch prey when you went up the mountain yesterday?" Zhao Si felt that it might be that Xiao Yan was thinking too much.
"Maybe!" Zhang Xiaoyan replied casually.
So, several people carried their prey and herbs down the mountain. When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they heard someone talking not far away, and several people found a bush to hide.
After the silence fell, the conversation of several people came to their ears clearly.
"There are really treasures here, I heard that there are ghosts!"
"You believe this kind of deception to a three-year-old child!"
"And how do you know there's a treasure here?"
"You don't have to worry about the news, in short, the news must be right, hurry up the mountain, it's too late, and someone will snatch it away."
No wonder so many people suddenly came, I'm afraid someone spread rumors that there are treasures on the mountain, and these people are all running for the so-called treasures.
Zhang Xiaoyan began to worry about the safety of the old naughty boy, although the old naughty boy's martial arts are high enough, but one person can't deal with so much!
Zhao Si was also worried about this problem, he really wanted to go back and see it now, and he was worried that Zhong'er was too young to explain to the Zhang family if something happened. So, I had the idea of going up the mountain alone for a while.
"Let's go, let's go back first!" Zhang Xiaoyan was silent for a while and spoke.
So, the four of them returned to the courtyard at the bottom of the mountain. Because there are people who go up the mountain to hunt for treasure, they live on the side of the mountain and have to be somewhat guarded. After coming back, Zhang Xiaoyan told the fourth uncle about the matter and asked the fourth uncle to put all the dogs in the last yard.
At lunchtime, Zhang Xiaoyan casually found a reason to ask everyone to hide all the slightly valuable things, so as not to be remembered by thieves.
After lunch, Zhao Si was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoyan: "Wait, I'll go with you to see if your father is done with the land deed, fat girl, don't go, take Zhong'er to the medicine field to see if there is anything you need help with, and we will have to run to the city in a day or two." ”
"Good!" The fat girl obeyed the arrangement and took Zhong'er to the medicine field.
Zhang Xiaoyan asked Datian to put on the carriage and got into the carriage with Zhao Si. When the carriage ran out of the distance, Zhang Xiaoyan said unhurriedly: "You want to go up the mountain, right?" ”
Zhao Si knew that he couldn't hide it from Xiao Yan, so he buried his head and muttered: "There are so many people at once, even if the master has three heads and six arms, he can't cope with it!" ”
"Yes! The master has also reached this age, and it is already dangerous to live alone in the mountains. Let's put the things home first, let's go up from the hill on the other side of your village, and by the way, let's see if Ke Mo has come back? Zhang Xiaoyan pondered something else in her heart.
As soon as Zhao Si heard that he was going to see Ke Mo, his brows furrowed: "Why are you going to see him?" That bad guy, I guess he doesn't dare to go back to the village, right? ”
Zhang Xiaoyan patted Zhao Si's shoulder and said earnestly: "Perhaps, he is not as bad as we imagined, at least he thought about hurting us." Otherwise, with his kung fu, your last life will be gone. ”
Zhao Si felt that Xiao Yan's words made some sense, so he didn't ask any more. Waiting for the carriage to return to Zhao's house, he threw his things home, and casually found an excuse to follow Zhang Xiaoyan out again.
Zhao Qian entered the city early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet, Dong said that someone might have a dinner and won't arrive home until evening, so it's definitely okay for Zhang Xiaoyan not to worry.
After Zhang Xiaoyan said goodbye to the Dong family, she told Datian to drive the carriage back first, and she and Zhao Si were going to walk around the village, and by the way, see where the embroidery and spinning of the sixth child of the Zhang family were here?
As soon as Daejeon left, the two went straight to the foot of the mountain. Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the mountain path, I ran into Ke Mo who came out of it. Ke Mo carried a lot of prey on his shoulders, obviously just coming down from the mountain.
"Are you going to look for me, or are you going to go up the mountain?" Ke Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the two restless little guys.
"Humph! Who's looking for you! Zhao Si glanced at Ke Mo with disdain.
Zhang Xiaoyan spoke in a much better tone than before because of the last contact: "You just came down from the mountain, but you have met many people going up the mountain." ”
"A lot of people go up the mountain?" Ke Mo thought for a while, and then said: "This mountain is haunted, few people dare to go up, right?" ”
Did this guy really not meet or was he lying?
Zhang Xiaoyan couldn't distinguish it for a while, but she looked at him and didn't speak.
"I didn't lie to you, but I was hunting on the mountainside over here, and I didn't go higher, did you find anyone going up the mountain?" Ke Mo was honest and did not lie.
Zhao Sizui said quickly: "When I was collecting medicine in the morning, I saw a few people sneakily saying that there was a treasure on the mountain and that they were going to the mountain to hunt for treasures." ”
"Treasure hunting!" Ke Mo's face didn't look very good, as if he thought of something and couldn't say it to the two of them.
Zhang Xiaoyan watched Ke Mo's face change seriously, leaned over and asked awkwardly, "It seems that you know what treasures are on this mountain?" ”
