Chapter 3: Paradise
Mountaintop, dusk.
Pure mountain spring, a cup only costs five yuan.
Meat sandwich bun, cold skin meat sandwich bun~
Fried rice, fried rice.
Chow mein, chow mein.
The sky was getting dark, and Cheng Xiao also successfully reached the top, looking at the vendors shouting around, touching his stomach, and it was time to eat.
"A cup of mountain spring, a dough rolling, two meat buns." Cheng Xiao said to the vendor.
"Holo." Seeing that there was business, the vendors' movements were very quick.
After a while, the dough and meat buns with all the color and flavor arrived in front of Cheng Xiao.
"Hmm... The taste was ok. "Cheng Xiao, chirp, pout.
"This mountain spring is good." Cheng Xiao took a sip and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Little brother also thinks it's good, you city people are used to drinking mineral water and tap water, and we are a pure mountain spring. Tong Su is not bullied. The vendor said to Cheng Xiao with a grin.
"Well, it's good." Cheng Xiao finished drinking it in one gulp and refilled it.
(Why is it so delicious...... system, can you test this spring water? )
[The aura component accounts for one thousandth. 】
"Reiki!" Cheng Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and the tiredness of mountaineering was swept away.
"Boss~" Cheng Xiao beckoned.
The boss was shouting there, and when he heard Cheng Xiao's voice, he suddenly stopped shouting.
"Boss, where did you get this spring water, why is it so sweet?" Cheng Xiao inquired.
"It's a secret." I never thought that the boss waved his hand mysteriously, no matter how Cheng Xiao asked, even if he took out the temptation of money, he couldn't pry the boss's mouth.
(Sure enough, there is something strange.) )
Helplessly, Cheng Xiao borrowed the account and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Just after Cheng Xiao left, a person mysteriously kept up with Cheng Xiao's pace.
(System, detect here, detect there.) )
After searching aimlessly, Cheng Xiao was a little impatient and waved his hand in annoyance.
"Who?" Suddenly, a hand put on Cheng Xiao's shoulder.
"Little brother, do you want to know where the spring is?" A sloppy old man asked mysteriously, and tried to smile at Cheng Xiao. But no matter how much he laughed, it looked like ...... The same as the thief's eyebrows.
"Something?" Cheng Xiao looked at the old man vigilantly.
"This is not the place to talk, you come with me." The old man wanted to pull Cheng Xiao's hand as he spoke, but Cheng Xiao gently dodged the old man and was about to hold his hand.
"Lead the way." Cheng Xiao said.
"Holo." The old man suddenly smiled even better, and his black face was matched with wrinkles on his face, which made Cheng Xiao suddenly think of his grandfather.
Inside the toilet.
Cheng Xiao slapped his hands impatiently, and as soon as he came in, he frowned and asked, "Do you know where the spring is." ”
"I know, of course I do, I'm a local who lives here, and I know you want to develop that spring, but no one here will let you." The old man said.
Cheng Xiao was stunned, but he didn't expect that there would be developers who took a fancy to this spring.
(It stinks.) )
"What do you want?" Cheng Xiao asked with his breath in his breath.
"1 million." The old man swallowed his saliva and looked at Cheng Xiao with a nervous expression.
"Deal." Cheng Xiao didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and walked out of the toilet after saying the last word.
The old man followed.
"Come with me and talk to my house. Stay away from me and don't let anyone see that we're all in this together. The old man said cautiously.
"Got it, hurry up." Cheng Xiao urged.
The two of them walked one after the other, and soon arrived inside a dilapidated house.
Looking at the house where raindrops will fall on this rainy day, Cheng Xiao also sighed.
"Hey, hey, hey." The old man didn't want to say what he wanted to say for a while, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
"Do you have Alipay or WeChat?" Cheng Xiao asked directly.
"Alipay doesn't have it, WeChat my son has it, my son has it." The old man hurriedly said.
"And where's your son?" Cheng Xiao didn't want to stay in this gloomy little house for a minute longer.
"I'm calling now, calling my son, calling my son." The old man took out a broken mobile phone from the 90s in a panic and made a call tremblingly.
In about three minutes, a panting man who looked to be about thirty years old entered the small, cramped and gloomy room.
"Where do you want to buy spring water?" The man asked with some hesitation.
"Yes." Cheng Xiao said directly.
"Dad, how can you ......" Before the man finished speaking, he was reprimanded by the old man.
"Son, those bastards won't even give you a stall, but we are also natives, they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."
"But ......" the man was still a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, when we get the money, we'll take him to the place where the spring is fed, and then we'll leave here, buy a suite in the city, get you a job, and marry a daughter-in-law." The old man hated that iron could not be made of steel.
The man seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then said slowly: "What about the old immortal?" ”
"What an old immortal, that's just a legend. Hurry up and open that WeChat. The old man said anxiously.
"You ...... Can you tell me about the old fairy? Cheng Xiao said suddenly.
"Alas......" The old man saw that Jin was talking, so he told the story of the old fairy.
Hundreds of years ago, monsters were rampant and water was scarce, and one day a strangely dressed person suddenly appeared, who had great powers, cut down the monster grass and roots, and used a spell to open a spring here.
"Let's transfer it." Cheng Xiao had already withdrawn Alipay's money to the bank card.
In the old man's expectant eyes and the man's hesitant eyes, with a ding, the man's WeChat received an amount of one million.
And the man's eyes gradually became firm.
"Let's go, I'll take you." The man got up and left, followed by Cheng Xiao.
Walking for several kilometers, passing through a small forest, you will see a small stream that flows out of a narrow cave. The man crawled, Cheng Xiao followed, crossed the cave, climbed the creek, and in a quarter of an hour, saw the bright light, looked up, suddenly opened up, and was a paradise. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the air is full of people. Green meadows, babbling streams.
"Alright, this is it. If you go up the stream, you will see the spring. I can't go on with you, I've already violated the training when I came here. After the man finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"Great place!" It was the first time for Cheng Xiao to breathe such a good smelling air.
And the detection of the system, there is an aura here.
