Chapter 337: Two Boxes
I wanted to take Xiaoqing up with me, but Xiaoqing had to stay with the big bird, so the master had to give up.
Leaving the cave, walking up the path outside the cave, after walking two laps, came to the mouth of the cave above, Xiao Laodao looked inside, and said a word to the three masters, it seems that a few people who entered this cave also encountered something, and there was no trace of them at the entrance of the cave. It's still a draft.,Since I uploaded a screenshot of the question in the official account.,There are too many people asking about things.,It's disrupted my usual routine for a while.,Let's read the draft first.,I'll adjust it slowly.。
Of course, the master and the others didn't care about the lives of those people, and continued to walk up, and circled twice again, and came to the previous rope.
Xiao Laodao walked over and tried to pull the rope with his hand, it's okay, the rope is quite strong, it seems that no one cut the rope this time.
The master was the first to climb the rope, and Xiao Laodao followed closely, and after a while, several people all went up to the top of the pit.
On the top of the pit, there were more than ten people waiting, and when they saw a few people coming up, someone hurriedly notified the others, and after a while, the pit was full of people.
is still the one who is the leader, and smiled and hugged his fist at the grandfather, "I really didn't expect that you would be able to come back when you went down." After a pause, the leader suppressed his smile and said, "Tell me, is there a treasure down here?" ”
The three masters didn't speak, Xiao Laodao reached out and touched his arms, and said, "We found this." ”
Seeing Xiao Laodao holding a piece of silver in his hand, these people's eyes lit up when they saw it, "Have you really found the treasure?" Have you ever found a strange treasure? ”
Xiao Laodao swept everyone and said loudly: "We only found two boxes, however, we didn't open the boxes, and we found a few pieces next to the boxes at this time." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao took out two gold ingots from his body.
Everyone present was in an uproar, and the leader laughed even more, "A few people are really righteous enough, according to our rules, half of you, half of us!" ”
Xiao Laodao also smiled, "Okay, but the place where the treasure is hidden is not peaceful, there is a fierce beast infested, and a few of us finally came back." ”
Hearing this, the leader glanced at the grandfather, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't there a beautiful girl beside you, what about the girl?" ”
Xiao Laodao darkened his face, didn't say a word, and looked at Xiao Laodao's face, as if he saw something, and comforted Xiao Laodao, "If you do what we do, it is inevitable to hurt people, and the Taoist will not be sad." ”
Xiao Laodao still didn't say anything, and nodded sadly.
Immediately, the leader asked Xiao Laodao, "What kind of beast did you encounter?" ”
Xiao Laodao paused for a while, sighed, and said, "A beast covered in leather armor, I don't know what the head is, is extremely fierce. ”
When the leader heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Here...... Isn't it a big bird? ”
This time, Xiao Laodao and the master were all stunned, and Xiao Laodao hurriedly asked, "What bird?" His face was blank, as if he didn't know anything about the big bird.
The leader said: "Before you, we also went down several groups of people, but none of them came back alive, only one came back seriously injured, saying that in the cave below, I met a strange bird, which was extremely big, and people pecked it...... The brother was seriously injured, and he swallowed his breath after saying this, and we don't know anything else. ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at the master and a few people vigilantly, as if to suggest that they should not be silent, Xiao Laodao said to the leader: "We didn't meet any strange birds, only a fierce beast, if you have the courage, go down with us, prepare more torches, that animal is afraid of fire." ”
When they heard this, they were all eager to try, and in the end, all the people in the pit stayed in two on the pit, and all the others went down.
There were more than 300 people in total, dozens of people, and in the end, nearly 100 people stayed in the pit, and the rest of the more than 200 people tied more than a dozen ropes to the top of the pit, and went down to the path of the sinkhole with the grandfather.
For a while, the path was crowded with people whimpering, and a few of them accidentally fell to the bottom of the pit from the path with a long scream, obviously not surviving.
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao secretly explained to the three masters, be careful, just two boxes of gold and silver, so many people, one person is not enough to share a piece, when the time comes, they will definitely have infighting.
A few people took the lead, and the hundreds of people followed, and soon, they came to the first small hole, but the master did not stop, and the people who followed behind asked the master, "Aren't you this cave?" ”
Xiao Laodao turned his head and replied: "It's not this, that cave is much bigger than this, and it's still below." ”
The leader asked, "What's in this cave?" ”
Xiao Laodao replied: "A few people from the poor road didn't go in, so I don't know very well. ”
The leader suddenly looked suspicious, turned back to a person next to him and said, "Send a few people in to have a look." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao hurriedly said: "Everyone, I think it's important for us to find treasures, these caves, it's not too late for us to investigate when we return." ”
The leader glanced at Xiao Laodao suspiciously, and said, "Dao Chief, there won't be treasures in this cave, you want to hide it and eat it for yourself." ”
Xiao Laodao immediately raised his eyebrows, "Brother, don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, if you say so, then send someone in to take a look, if you can find anything in this hole, it's all yours, and a few people don't need a penny." ”
"Okay." The leader applauded, and then beckoned to five or six people behind him, "You guys, go in and have a look." ”
There was no voice, and behind five or six people, a voice came, "The one in charge, you can't rely on the large number of you, you have the final say, the Taoist priests don't want property, we didn't say no." ”
When the leader heard this, he looked into the crowd, and everyone gave way to the person who spoke, and the person who spoke walked to the front of the leader.
The leader asked the man, "What do you want?" ”
The man said, "If we find the property, we brothers will divide it equally, no matter who finds it." As soon as this man's voice fell, many people echoed and demanded an equal share.
The master looked this person up and down a few times, the middle-aged man, very burly, his face was slightly pale, like a perennial grave digger.
"Okay, that's a deal." The leader then said, "However, since we want to divide it equally, we can't just let our family contribute, you also have to send some people in. ”
"It's nature!" Everyone agreed.
In this way, more than 200 people were divided into dozens of numbers, and there were only about 100 left.
The leader urged Xiao Lao Dao, "Let's go, Dao Chief, let them find them, let's find ours." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled faintly, "I look at the small cave and it is dangerous, these dozens of brothers may not be able to come back if they go in......"
The echo fell, and a young man beside him was not happy, and scolded Xiao Lao Dao, "Old Taoist, you don't scare people!" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Young and said, "If you don't let Poor Dao say it, then Poor Dao won't say it, when something happens to them, don't blame Poor Dao for not reminding you." ”
"You don't need to talk too much, we are wise and powerful, and we know what to do!"
Xiao Laodao looked at Xiao Young and asked for it, Huangkou Xiaoer, and said wildly, but Xiao Laodao didn't say it.
The rest of the people continued to walk forward, and finally, they came to the big cave, at this time, Xiao Laodao may be a little worried about Xiaoqing in the cave, and wanted to let the master and Xiao Chujiu enter the cave, but the person at the head did not agree, and insisted that the young man next to him go in with the two masters.
This young man is about the same age as the grandfather, but he is not as steady and sophisticated as the grandfather, and he is frivolous and self-righteous.
The three of them lit two torches, one for the grandfather and one for Xiao Chujiu, and the young man was like an uncle, holding his hands behind his back, walking proudly between the grandfather and Xiao Chujiu, of course the grandfather would not be as knowledgeable as this kind of waste.
The three masters walked in front, and the team walked behind, after entering the cave, the cave suddenly seemed noisy, and then encountered the two small caves in the cave, and the leader did not listen to Xiao Laodao's dissuasion, and sent people to explore the two caves. As a result, the personnel were scattered, and in the end, there were only a few dozen people left in the big hole, but the dozens of people who stayed behind were the elite among the hundreds.
Soon, everyone walked to the end of the big cave and came to the previous entrance of the cave, what puzzled the master was that Xiaoqing seemed to have left the cave, and it was not clear where he went.
Lay a few anchors at the mouth of the cave, go down a few ropes, and a few people from the master took the lead, first down to the bottom of the pit, and then, dozens of people all came down.
At this time, it was already evening, the bottom of the pit was dark, a group of people lit more than a dozen torches, led by the grandfather, and after a while, came to the cave of the box.
In order to show himself, the young man was the first to walk into the cave with a torch, and when he arrived in the cave, he shouted excitedly: "Sure enough, there is a box, and sure enough, there is a box." Shouting, he reached out to open the box, at this time, the leader drank him, "Don't move, be careful of the mechanism!" ”
Saying that, the leader looked for Xiao Laodao and smiled, "This Dao Chief, since you can find this place, it must be comparable to ordinary people, and please ask a few Dao Masters to open the box." ”
Xiao Lao Dao glanced at the leader, and also smiled, "You are afraid of having organs, aren't you afraid of poor Dao?" ”
The leader left and said, "If the Taoist leader doesn't want to do it, we can do it, but we have to give us half of it." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, "Okay, this box of gold and silver treasures, a few people in the poor road can't take it away, so I will divide half of you, and a few people in the poor road only need half a box." ”
The leader laughed twice, "The Taoist is really a cheerful person." Then, he turned to dozens of people and said, "Everyone has heard it, this Taoist master himself wants to give us half of it, so don't rob us of it." ”
When the others heard this, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and the leader immediately gave Xiao Young a look, and Xiao Young walked to the box proudly.
There was no padlock on the box, Xiao Young opened both boxes with one in one hand, and at the same time the box was opened, everyone was surprised, and saw that a box was full of large and small pearls, and a box was full of agate jade and jade.
The others were excited, but Xiao Laodao's face changed slightly when he saw this, and the person at the head seemed to react, and looked at Xiao Laodao coldly, "Dao Chief, where did the gold and silver bars you got come from?" ”
