"Huo Yi (Miss) are you okay?" As soon as Murong Xue and I arrived on the other side of the wooden bridge, a group of people gathered around and asked.

I glanced at Zhou Hao, smiled, and said, "It's okay!" ”

Murong Xue also shook her head lightly at the people of the Murong family.

The group crossed the mountain, and it was already evening.

Two cars were parked at the foot of the mountain, and the people in the cars saw us coming down from the mountain, and hurriedly got out of the cars and greeted us.

"Miss! Uncle Peng! The two men shouted respectfully.

"Yes!" Murong Xue nodded slightly, then she looked back at me and said, "You guys come with us!" ”

I nodded, it's not easy to take a taxi in the wilderness here.

Half an hour later, the group arrived in the city by car.

"Where are you going?" In the car, Murong Xue looked at me and asked.

I smiled bitterly, I really didn't have anywhere to go, so I looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao saw me looking at him, scratched his head and said, "I rented a house in a small village near the city. ”

I nodded and said, "Then stop the trouble here!" ”

"Why don't you come with me to my house? I haven't thanked you for today's events! ”

"No need, I still have things to do these days!" I excused myself.

"Then, I'll let Ah Hong send you over!"

"Thank you! But no, I still have some more things to buy in the city. ”

Hearing me say this, Murong Xue nodded, looking a little lost.

The car stopped on the side of the road, Zhou Hao and I just got out of the car, Murong Xue stepped back from the window and asked, "Li Huoyi, what is your mobile phone number, I'll contact you when you're done?" ”

I coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "I, I don't have a cell phone." ”

Murong Xue smiled lightly, then took out a white mobile phone and said, "This is my mobile phone, I'll give it to you!" It is also convenient for us to contact later. ”

"This ......" I hesitated a little, although I had an indescribable feeling about Murong Xue, but since I heard Zhou Hao say that their family was a tomb robber, I had a sense of resistance to their family, and I didn't want to have anything to do with their family.

Uncle Peng thought that this young man knew Taoism and metaphysics, and he might be able to use this young man one day in the future!

Seeing that I was still hesitating, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Young man, you have done us such a great favor, and we haven't thanked you yet!" Now that you're tired, our young lady wants to find a chance to thank you in a few days! ”

After listening to Uncle Peng's words, I secretly said to the old fox. And Murong Xue nodded vigorously, looking at her watery eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse, I smiled helplessly, stepped forward and took the mobile phone in Murong Xue's hand and said, "Uncle Peng is polite, I will accept the mobile phone, thank you Miss Murong!" ”

Murong Xue smiled happily when she saw me take the phone.

Looking at the car in the distance, I shook my head and was about to leave, but I saw that Zhou Hao was still looking in the direction of the car.

I shook my hand in front of Zhou Hao's eyes and said, "Hey, what are you kid looking at!" ”

Zhou Hao sighed and said, "Huo Yi, how much do you say that bead is worth?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this kid was still thinking about the Yin Gathering Pearl! I patted Zhou Hao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about that bead, you kid, it's not a good thing!" Have you forgotten that zombie? ”

After saying this, I also had some doubts in my heart, why does the Murong family want this Yin Gathering Pearl? Just sell it as an ordinary antique? Thinking about the dangers encountered along the way, if it doesn't go well, the price is too great, right?

Zhou Hao thought of the disgusting and hideous zombie, and when the night wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.

"What, are you short of money?" Looking at Zhou Hao's appearance, I asked with a light smile.

Zhou Hao sighed and did not speak. I know he has something on his mind, but since he doesn't want to say it, I can't ask.

There was nothing to say all the way, so Zhou Hao and I rented a tricycle and ran to the village that Zhou Hao said. I have to say that Zhou Hao, this kid, is quite good at finding some deserted villages and wasteland, and it took him more than half an hour to finally get to Shimen Village.

After walking through the village, the master who rode the tricycle didn't go inside, because the road in this village was potholed, and there were fist-sized stones scattered everywhere on the road, so there was no way, Zhou Hao and I had to pay and get down and walk.

I glanced at Zhou Hao angrily, it's hard to find a place, but I found such a place where there is no village and no store!

Zhou Hao coughed dryly twice, and said embarrassedly, "Hehe, the rent of the house here is much cheaper." ”

I shook my head helplessly, so I had to follow behind Zhou Hao with the faint moonlight.

As I was walking, suddenly a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of me and Zhou Hao.

Yesterday, Shimen Village.

A police car parked at the entrance of Shimen Village with flying dust.

The car door opened, and two policemen and a rugged-looking young man stepped out of the car.

One of the slightly older policemen said to the young man, "Zhang Dashan, it's a shame that your mother let you stop the precipice, otherwise you will have to sit through the prison, okay, you haven't been able to see your mother for the last time, now take good care of her filial piety." I'm on official business, and I'll come to her old man's house another day to put incense on the pillars. ”

The young man named Zhang Dashan nodded, turned around and walked towards the village with a vacant look in his eyes.

The older policeman shook his head and sighed when he saw Zhang Dashan's appearance.

Zhang Dashan hated it very much in his heart, he didn't hate his mother for letting him go to the police station to turn himself in, but hated why his mother refused to use the money he stole for treatment, and it was not too late to turn himself in after curing the disease! Anyway, it's not once or twice that I went to the police station.

Besides, who said that the money I stole was dirty? I'm stealing from all those rich people who are making a fortune! Why can they eat, drink, and be merry, hugging left and right, and we can't even afford to pay for the treatment and saving people! What's wrong with me taking a little? Why don't my parents understand me?!

Thinking about it, Zhang Dashan had already walked to the door of the house.

"Bang~Bang~" Zhang Dashan slammed the wooden door.

After a while, the door "squeak~" sounded, and there was a hunched man standing at the door, with gray hair, wearing a cyan shirt, his face was full of wrinkles, and the corners of his eyes were still a little moist.

He opened the door and saw Zhang Dashan standing outside the door, stunned for a moment, and then turned around and walked into the house as if he didn't see it.

Zhang Dashan was accustomed to this attitude towards his father, so he walked into the adobe courtyard and closed the door. After walking a few steps forward, he saw a black and red coffin in the inner room, he wiped his eyes, although his parents didn't treat him very well, but he still understood the phrase "filial piety comes first".

Zhang Dashan walked quickly to the door of the inner room, knelt down in front of his mother's spirit with a "plop", and knocked his head three times with a "knock", "knock" and "knock".

There are no white flags and white cloths at home, and Zhang Dashan knows that the purchase of this coffin will definitely cost all his family's savings.

With a soft sound, Zhang Dashan turned around and saw his father placing two notched bowls on the table under the tree in the courtyard, and the two bowls contained a few pieces of meat and a bowl of rice.

Zhang Dashan's father glanced at Zhang Dashan, did not speak, turned around and sat on a large bluestone, tremblingly took out a cigarette from the pocket of his white-washed shirt, lit it, and smoked it "ba-da" and "ba-da".

Zhang Dashan walked to the table, he glanced at his father, his lips squirmed, and he wanted to ask his father if he had eaten it, but he didn't say it after all.

Zhang Dashan was eating, only to hear a "bang" knock outside the door, Zhang Dashan was a little puzzled, the people in this village are very poor, and when they meet someone's wedding or funeral, they can't wait to hide far away and save money.

The relatives at home also looked down on him, thinking that a few days ago, his mother was seriously ill and needed money for surgery, so he found his cousin, who was the boss in the city, to borrow money, and he knelt down for him, but he was still kicked out by his security guards.

Zhang Dashan put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the door and opened the door.

But I saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a white sheep's beard swaying in the wind standing outside the door.

Seeing that Zhang Dashan opened the door, the Taoist priest smiled heartily, stroked his beard, gave a salute and said, "Donor, I believe in Zhang, is a wandering gentleman, I happened to pass by here today, and saw your house full of black gas, I conclude that everything has not been going well in your family recently!" ”

Zhang Dashan smiled bitterly, his own family has not been smooth, otherwise he would be so poor that he will be tinkling?

At this moment, Zhang Dashan's father heard the sound and came to the door, and the Taoist priest saluted Zhang Dashan's father and said, "Old gentleman, I am a wandering gentleman, I see that your family is angry, if you don't prevent it as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous in the future!" ”

Zhang Dashan doesn't care, because when his mother was alive, she offered a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva all day long, but now her own home is not like this? It is better to believe in God and Buddha than to believe in yourself!

But when Zhang Dashan's father heard this, he hurriedly invited the Taoist priest into the courtyard and asked, "Sir, is there a way to save it?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "I have a method!" ”

Zhang Dashan's father hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, our family doesn't have much savings, I don't know how much ...... you need, sir."
