Chapter 132: Debt Collection
I don't know why, Ye Feng just revealed such a secret thing to Xia Li without thinking, and he was sure that Xia Li would not say it.
What he couldn't elaborate on was that they found a gold bar and a jade card under a hillside deep in the mountains, all of which were buried in the mud and smelled by dangdang. There is a newly dug pit here, and the silver ingots that Dangdang found before should be buried here.
Dangdang, Xiong Da, and a few other Rong dogs searched around for another day, but found nothing.
They analyzed that these things may have been accidentally left behind by people in the past, and a large number of things should not be too far away from here. Moreover, it does prove that "treasures" are not just legends, they are real.
Later, Xiong Dahe Dangdang walked a little further to the southeast, and found a gold and silver ingots from the Baoqing period of the previous dynasty deep in the soil. When they wanted to go on, he wouldn't allow it. Because if you go in that direction a little further and climb over a mountain, you will not be far from the Evil Wolf Peak.
Evil Wolf Peak is the highest and largest peak in the Huaxiang Mountains, and it is also the bandit den of the Cao clan of the former dynasty, the Cao family has been operating here for hundreds of years, the cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the current bandit leader is Cao Min, the descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, his ancestors fled with a group of people to a desert island at sea. Later, how did the son of that ancestor know that there was a buried treasure here, and quietly came here with people, and sat down step by step.
Ye Feng was afraid that Cao Min would find out the clues, so he had to temporarily stop searching. After Cao Min's nest of bandits is eliminated, I will look for it. He was secretly happy in his heart, even Cao Min didn't expect that they were looking for treasures everywhere that had razed some hills and could not be found, and they might not be far from them......
Ye Fengru was willing to look at Xia Li, and said a few words alone before returning to the West Chamber satisfied.
Xia Li led a dog and a bear to the main courtyard, and asked Xia Ju, who was laughing with Xia Shan and the others in the west wing, to come out and wipe their hair. The venison and lamb were already marinated, and she was going to roast them.
Several men walked out of the house and sat under the eaves to watch Xia Ju and Zhu Cai take dry handkerchiefs and wipe the hair of Dangdang and the bear.
Xia Shan saw Zhao Liang's eyes softened when he looked at Xia Ju, and knew that he remembered his daughter again. smiled, "Miss Niu'er again?" ”
Zhao Liang smiled and nodded, his smile full of bitterness. I haven't been home for a few days, and Niu'er has to take care of herself again. However, even if she lived alone at home, it was still much better than her hometown in the countryside.
He didn't understand that in his old family, only his stepmother and sister-in-law were not blood relatives with Niu'er, and his father, younger brother, and several nephews and nieces were all blood relatives, why they all treated her like that.
And Xia and Xia Li, they are not blood relatives with Xia Ju, but they can treat him like relatives......
More than a quarter of an hour later, the meals were served one after another. Cured pork ribs, preserved pig's head, preserved pork liver, roasted hare, garlic sprouts fried bacon, roasted venison rolls with toothpicks, roasted lamb rolls with coriander, boiled lettuce, boiled lotus white, bacon soup boiled white sapoo, and finally chicken soup.
Two tables were full, and several men ate indignantly, but unfortunately there was no wine.
Zhao Liang said with a smile, "I've also eaten roast venison and roast mutton before, but I didn't expect that there were leeks and coriander rolled in it, and the taste was different." ”
Ye Feng nodded, he also liked to eat these two dishes the most, and there was actually a special and memorable taste in it.
Xia Li took two small bowls and filled each with half a bowl of meat and vegetables, and let Xia Ju and Zhucai eat it. Although Zhu Cai is a slave, he is still a child and is very sensible, Xia Li is very good to him, which makes Zhu Er and his wife very grateful.
After dinner, Ye Feng and the others went back to the post station, and Xia Shan returned to Xia's house, and said that the day after tomorrow, Xia Shan, Ye Jin, and Xiao Ding escorted Xia Li's family and Dangdang to Xiangshan Mansion City.
They were about to leave the hospital, when Dangdang suddenly rushed over, blocking Ye Jin from leaving, and barking at him non-stop, so bad.
Ye Jin was stunned, then laughed. said to Ye Feng, "Uncle, the ingot of silver I gave you was brought back by Huzi to Miss Xia." I took the money that day, and Huzi was very unhappy. I told it that the uncle would give Miss Xia a few more ingots of silver, and it agreed that I would take the silver. ”
Everyone laughed. Ye Feng's eyes were full of smiles, but he said with disgust, "I have raised you for so long, and the one I am most worried about is Miss Xia." ”
He waved his hand to Ye Li, and Ye Li took out the two heaviest silver ingots from his purse, twenty taels each. He helped Ye Feng manage money, and there were a lot of silver bills in his purse, as well as cash.
When Dangdang didn't know the weight, only the quantity, it was too little, and he barked a few times in dissatisfaction, which made Xia Li extremely embarrassed.
Ye Feng was happy, and said to Ye Li again, "Take out all the silver in your purse." ”
Ye Li smiled again and took out three ten taels and two five taels. It's not that he was reluctant before, but the amount of silver tickets is large, and these ingots of silver are to be spent on the road to prepare for something.
When Dangdang saw so much silver, he thought that his sister must have taken a big advantage, so he didn't continue to call. He also looked at Xia Li with a stinky face, and kept flicking his tail, meaning to see how capable I am, and I have earned you so much money.
Xia Li was embarrassed to accept no matter how greedy he was, so he waved his hand with a red face and said, "No, it's too much." ”
Ye Feng smiled, "Miss Xia doesn't know the value of that ingot of silver yet. These silver Xia girls will be kept for the time being, and there will be heavy thanks in the future. ”
After Ye Feng and the others left, Xia Shan whispered to Xia Li, "I've been looking for so many days, but I still haven't found anything, and I will continue to look for it in the future." ”
Xia Li had already guessed the meaning of Ye Feng's words, and after listening to this more explicit word, he still felt sorry for them.
Xia Shan smiled again, "In order to make Xiong Da obedient, Lord Ye brought him a jar of honey, ten catties of apples, and twenty catties of snacks. Ouch, the one who ate them was happy. ”
Xia Li is funny, the bear's big mouth is greedy, and if he can't get anything to do, he will come down the mountain to ask for something to eat. When he is not at home, he has to let Zhu Er often put some snacks and candy at home, and when they find them, he invites them to eat.
Xia Shan took a wild boar, a wild duck, and a pheasant back to Xia's house, and only said that he, Ye Jin, and Xiao Ding went into the mountains to fight like dangdang and bears.
These wild things were hunted by those people and Dangdang and Xiong Da on the way back. Except for two pheasants and two wild ducks left at home, everything else was taken to the county seat to sell.
Xia Shan whispered to Xia Li again, "Tomorrow I will go to Li Xiucai's house and send the pheasants and ducks to them." You are also going to live in Fucheng for a while, do you want to say goodbye to Miss Li? ”
Xia Li was going to say goodbye to Li's house, but he still joked, "I'll accompany my third uncle tomorrow." ”
The word "accompany" bit very hard, and Xia Shan blushed and left with a smile.
