Chapter Seventy-Six: Greed Is Not Enough to Swallow an Elephant
"Brother Shui, you, the gold coin you said is in your breast pocket, is that kind?"
What the? Hearing Liu Ruyi's words, I subconsciously touched my jacket pocket.
Immediately afterward, a very cold touch reached my hand.
I quickly took this thing out, put it in the palm of my hand, and immediately scared me into a cold sweat.
Because what I'm holding in my hand is really a gold coin! Moreover, it is a blood-stained gold coin!
When I saw this thing, I directly stirred up one by one, raised my hand and threw it out, but I was grabbed by the fast-eyed lion head, and then took it in my hand and played with it.
"Damn, lion's head, what are you doing? This thing is very evil, don't take it, throw it away. ”
Seeing that I was nervous, the lion's head smiled disapprovingly, and then said to me with the gold coin in his hand.
"Brother, what are you afraid of, let's study it, it's okay, you look at the patterns and patterns on it, this is not our country's thing."
Hearing the lion's head say this, my curiosity was also piqued, and I looked down.
Not to mention, the lion's head judgment is quite accurate, this thing is really not the local culture of my country.
Although this gold coin is a few years old, the lines and patterns on it are clearly visible, and the most surprising thing is that the pattern on this gold coin is actually embossed.
However, this relief is not a symbol, but a monster with a snake head and a hideous face.
And this relief, the carving is quite fine, just a glance, it makes people feel a little creepy.
I stared at the relief on the gold coin, and goosebumps began to rise on my body.
It's not that I'm frightened by a relief, but the appearance of this relief, the more I look at it, the more I feel, like the monster with a human head and a snake body that I saw in the devil base of Muren Village before.
Although I later learned that it was all my hallucination, it was also ...... What a coincidence, right?
Wait a minute! Gold?
I remember that when the public loss gift told us about Zhang Youcai's childhood, he also mentioned gold coins!
At that time, it was because they dug up the gold coins from the ground that led to that series of tragedies.
And the gold coin in our hand now, and the relief on it, looks like the hallucinations that I emerged from the devil's base.
Does that mean that the gold coins in our hands now are the same as those dug up by Zhang Youcai back then...... The same batch?
Could it be that these gold coins that don't have a local flavor were brought over by the little devils when they were fighting?
I just wanted to ask everyone, does anyone know what the human head snake body on this is, but Tang Lin frowned at first, and then reached out to take the gold coin.
"No, lion head, you're wrong, this gold coin may be our local thing."
Yes? When the lion head heard this, he scratched his head, and asked us, whose totem is so ugly, can make it like this, which makes Tang Lin roll his eyes.
"Lion head, do you know that Nuwa is the head of a human and the body of a snake? These coins are not for consumption, but are created for certain events, such as ...... Sacrifice! ”
Hearing Tang Lin's words, several of us were all stunned, sacrifice?
"Sister Tang Lin, what do you mean, these gold coins are actually for the dead?"
Hiss...... Jinbao said such a sentence so much that I was so frightened that I snatched the gold coin, threw it into the restaurant where we had dinner just now.
As I threw the gold coins in, there was a rush behind us.
But I, the initiator, don't even have the mood to sneer now.
Jinbao's words just now, although there is no other meaning, just casually said, but I listened to it in my heart.
Whether it is the public loss gift or Qi Cuifang, there is one thing in common in the stories they told me, that is, the people who got these gold coins are dead!
Looking at it this way, aren't these gold coins for the dead?
Or rather, it is precisely because of these gold coins that he became a dead man......
But anyway, this thing is so evil that I don't plan to touch it to death, and since they all want it so much, let's give it to them.
I looked back and saw a man in his thirties, standing triumphantly on the table, still holding the gold coin in his hand, like a victorious general......
When I saw this gold coin, I couldn't help but shudder, and told a few of them to hurry back to the hotel.
When I entered the hotel, I also saw Qi Cuilan, who seemed to be smiling and nodded to me.
"Young man, did you go with them to pan for gold? Ouch, I don't know what to think, if there is gold on this island, you can still get your turn? If you don't look at the scenery, you have to look for it. ”
Hearing Qi Cuilan's words, I didn't know what to say, but casually said that we went to the beach to bask in the sun, and then hurriedly followed a few of them upstairs.
When we returned to the hotel, we looked up from the window and could see a lot of people digging for gold with all kinds of things.
Looking at the appearance of these people one after another, the lion's head frowned and said to me suspiciously.
"Hey, brother, why do I always feel that this thing, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a conspiracy? When I came to this Shuixin Village, I hadn't heard of any gold. ”
I shook my head when I heard the lion's head, but I really didn't know how to answer.
Come on, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to, you can't figure out what's going on if you think about yourself stupidly.
Pulling the lion's head, the five of us turned on the air conditioner, hid in the hotel and started playing cards.
There are so many people that we can play anything, so we quickly forget about these headaches in the laughter.
It wasn't until the sun went down that a few of us realized it was time to eat.
When it comes to eating, the five of us are a little dumbfounded, after all, Qi Cuilan's cooking, we already feel that there is a problem, and if we go to eat again, it will be a fool.
No way, let's change places! While the sky is still bright, hurry up to finish eating and come back quickly.
After discussing it, the five of us hurried out of the house, and when I went out, I found some ...... Variation.
Originally, there was a happy and laughing meal before, but today, it is as quiet as death!
It's not that no one comes to eat, but every table of people is exceptionally quiet.
Everyone didn't speak, they looked at the people around them vigilantly, and the table that was close yesterday was now all at a distance.
And this distance, the three of us men know, this is the safest distance before the fight.
Moreover, judging from the sitting posture of these people, they also looked like they were ready to fight at any time.
This strange situation lasted until a few of us came out, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the five of us.
Of course, it's not so much about looking at the five of us, it's better to say that it's all focused on Liu Ruyi.
This atmosphere is really a little, too weird.
I stared at one of the tables, trying to see something, but maybe my eyes were so strange that a man at the table pointed at me and scolded me.
"What are you looking at me for? I don't have gold coins, look at it again, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person at the table with him waved his hand and slapped this guy, and then he didn't even bother to explain, so he hurriedly said to us.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my little brother has let the door squeeze since he was a child, not smart, you don't care about villains."
Seeing him humbly apologize to us, I didn't feel the slightest joy in my heart.
Because, when he apologized to us, he didn't say it to me, but to Liu Ruyi!
I didn't speak, but called the four of them and left, and as I left, I heard the man who had just apologized whispering to the man he had slapped him.
"Don't you want to get rich? Even she dares to provoke, this is the villain's village, the first group of people to die......"
When I heard this, I immediately looked back at them, and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at me at all.
…… These people, they are really afraid of Liu Ruyi, otherwise, they would not have reacted like this.
I secretly glanced at Tang Lin and found that she was also looking at me, and shook her head lightly at me.
I sighed, and just as I was about to leave, the lion's head suddenly grabbed me and gave me a wicked smile.
"Hey, brother, what is the golden thing under that table?"
Wow! The words of the lion's head, everyone, all blew up the street, just now they performed one by one as if they had nothing to do with gold coins, but now, they all pounced.
Of course, there are also some people who are really not interested in gold coins, so they choose to leave immediately.
Looking at the scene in front of me that suddenly became a mess, I couldn't help but sigh, these people, now crazy, they are all tempted by gold coins, and have become crazy.
Seeing this scene, I remembered what the public lost ceremony told me, the gold coin snatching incident that happened in Muren Village.
The matter of Muren Village, but the neighbors and neighbors can fight and force people to death for these gold coins.
Not to mention these strangers, especially in such a place as the wicked village......
It seems that these gold coins are really a little evil.
Maybe it's really like what Tang Lin said, these gold coins themselves are used for sacrifice, and after a long time, perhaps, there will be some curses, right?
"Hehe, the gold coin itself is no curse, and its value is enough to make these people crazy like evil spirits, people die for money, birds die for food, this is human nature......"
