Chapter 22: Interesting facts gather in Dadong Mountain
Mai Cheng, word spreads.
Someone lined up to buy a sieve.
If this is just an ordinary way to buy a sieve, it is not a topic.
But hundreds of people lined up to buy it, and it was interesting.
Someone went to the street and asked what they were buying a sieve for.
They all said they didn't know, and the answers were puzzled and innocent.
This is even more suspicious.
Buy your own sieve and don't know what to do with it?
So why buy it?
So some people became suspicious and secretly followed these people who bought sieves, only to find that they all returned to Dadongshan.
There are also rumors that Dadongshan has been bought at a high price, which makes people talk about it even more.
County office.
Wu Luonian sat at his desk and counted the tickets in his hand.
Standing behind him was Master Zhao.
Although this Zhao family is a son, his mother gave birth to seventeen children, all of which were not able to support them.
He was the eighteenth son, and after he was born, his family did not dare to name him, so they called him "wild seed" and "walking beast" all day long, and pressed his body into the dung pit every seven days. Even when he is eating, he sprinkles stones into his sweet potatoes.
This kind of cheap raising, he was finally raised safely, and he was not hooked by ghosts.
Later, he became a master, and people called him Master Zhao.
Master Zhao is extremely filial to his parents, and whenever he talks about his parents' kindness to him, he is grateful, claiming that he has nothing to repay.
It is rumored that every time he eats, he has to eat the leftovers of his parents. When there is new fabric at home, they have to make clothes for their parents, and when they wear them ten times, they cut the clothes and sew them for themselves.
Wu Luonian saw that he was filial and felt that a filial person must be loyal, so he made him his confidant.
At this time, Wu Luonian was calculating the family's accounts, and Master Zhao suddenly spoke: "Master, two interesting things happened in the city. ”
"What's the funny thing?" Wu Luo didn't raise his head for a while.
"A rich merchant came to Maicheng and bought Dadongshan with an old farmer for twenty taels, and he said that he was building a manor for himself."
"Oh? And such fools? But it's not worth mentioning. ”
Master Zhao said with a smile: "There is a second interesting thing, there is a long queue on the street today to buy a sieve, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of people. After these people bought the sieves, they all went to Dadongshan one after another. ”
Wu Luonian finally raised his head: "There is a wealthy businessman who bought Dadongshan and said that he would build a manor, and then hundreds of people went to Dadongshan with a sieve?" ”
"Yes."
"These two things are estimated to be connected, but it is incomprehensible...... Wu Luonian muttered, "If there is still news in the city, just pay attention to it, and you don't have to inquire about it, maybe it is not a big deal." ”
Master Zhao nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Dadong Mountain.
After Zhang Xiaolei returned, everyone was sitting on the ground, holding a sieve in their hands.
"Boss, we've all bought the sieve."
"What exactly are you going to do with these sieves?"
"yes, don't you want us to bring sand back? Even if you carry sand, you shouldn't use a sieve, right? ”
Zhang Xiaolei said indifferently: "Okay, I'll be notified to go down, and I'm going to work." ”
"Work? What do you do? ”
"Everyone goes to stay in the Satsuki River, and when they see something, they catch it."
"Something? What is it? ”
People were puzzled by what they heard, but they still obeyed and went to the Satsuki River.
This Xiaoyue River is a stream, and people stand on it, not even their knees.
Zhang Xiaolei beckoned to Sun Hu and motioned for him to go with him.
Then he took two cloth bags from his horse and two more hoes.
These two hoes were bought by him in the village where he was on his way back.
Zhang Xiaolei gave Sun Hu a cloth bag and asked him to carry the cloth bag up the mountain with him.
Sun Hu was carrying the cloth bag, and he was curious: "Mr. Zhang, what is in this cloth bag?" ”
"Silver."
"Silver? How can I touch it all broken silver? ”
"Indeed, it is all broken silver."
Sun Hu opened the cloth bag suspiciously, and saw that the silver inside was very broken, and the smallest one was no more than a grain of rice.
He was amazed, "What are you doing all this back?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "You just wait." ”
He took Sun Hu up for a while, and finally came to a cliff.
There is water seeping out of this cliff, Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "Do you know, this Xiaoyue River is the mountain and water in Dadong Mountain, which seeps in from the big lake in the distance, flows to the Xiaoyue River, and then flows to the Yangtze River." ”
"I don't know."
"Now you know."
Zhang Xiaolei grabbed a handful of silver and threw it towards the crack in the cliff.
Some of the silver fell, and it fell into the Satsuki River, but some of the silver went into the cracks in the stones.
The water flowed down from a high altitude like a small waterfall, rushing the broken silver towards the front.
Some flat silver, too, floated on the surface of the river.
Sun Hu's eyes widened: "What are you doing with losing money......
"Just wait."
Zhang Xiaolei smiled, he picked up the hoe again and smashed it hard against the mountain wall.
"Bang!"
The earth and gravel of the mountain wall were smashed down, and he grabbed a handful of silver and threw it in.
Then he lifted the stone and threw it at the mountain wall.
He grabbed a handful and smashed it once.
Grab a handful and smash it once.
Sun Hu didn't understand Zhang Xiaolei's intentions, but he also drew a scoop according to the gourd, and learned from him to smash and throw.
The people down there were standing in the Xiaoyue River, and they didn't understand what Zhang Xiaolei was going to do.
People are chatting, but they are also happy.
If you don't do anything, you will get money, who is not happy?
But while chatting, someone suddenly shouted: "Silver! ”
The people turned their heads to look, but saw the man pick up a small piece of silver from the water.
"Oh my God, and silver!"
"There's silver coming!"
"Go ahead!"
The crowd grew more excited and walked towards the front.
This Xiaoyue River actually dug up silver!
At this time, Zhang Xiaolei went down the mountain, and when he saw people picking up silver, he shouted loudly: "I have found a place, you can pick it up quickly!" I will keep the money you have picked up in your account, and settle it every month, and each person will be able to take two or two percent of the silver he has picked up! ”
When the people heard this, they were all excited.
The enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and they rushed forward with all of them, and some were eager to bury their bodies in the stream and take a good look.
This is where the sieve comes in handy.
The muddy sand muddies the water, as long as you use a sieve to wash the mud and sand, and the silver of the white flowers also appears.
It's small, but it's silver!
Zhang Xiaolei saw that people were so enthusiastic, he put on a serious face, and said to people: "Everyone, listen up, although this place has been bought by me, it is indispensable to guard against people." You are eating and living here these days, and you must not say it! ”
People nodded their heads in agreement.
"Never say it!"
"If any son of a bitch dares to say it, Lao Tzu will kill him!"
"Thank you Boss Zhang for your heart, let me wait to get rich!"
Zhang Xiaolei muttered in a low voice: "What about the Bodhisattva, I don't believe in Buddhism, can't I call the God of Wealth?" ”
