Chapter 54: Signs of Great Chaos

"Haha, don't scare you by saying it. The bag was full of gold, jade, and the like. On the spot, the boat boss was so frightened that he fell into the water, and when he climbed into the boat again, the first thing he did was to touch the nostrils of the four people to see that they were still angry, and when he touched it, he was startled again. All four of them were still angry. This time, it really scared the soul of the boat boss, do you think, so four people appeared in the middle of the boss's lake, with so many treasures, and they didn't even die, what else could it be if it wasn't the reincarnation of a goblin? ”

The boss of the boat stood on the boat, and after thinking about it, he hesitated to treat it as if he didn't see it, and threw all those people into the water again, but then he still didn't dare, so he simply rowed the boat to the shore, and ran to the village with his legs, ready to find all the villagers, and he shouted "The monster is coming" as he ran. ”

Then something even more strange came again, and when the captain of the boat came back with a dozen villagers, torches in hand, and farm tools hurriedly ran back to see that the ship was empty, and there was nothing. You say, this is not what the hell is alive, just a boatload of jewels, and four dying people, just a moment of effort, all disappeared out of thin air. If you want to say that the boss of this boat, he has been a boatman since he was a child, and he has never said nonsense for decades, but that night, all the villagers looked at the breathless boat boss and the empty boat, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not. ”

"Until a little ghost snorted and said, "I just saw from afar that more than 20 people came here and took away the four men that the boat boss said." You see, these underground footprints are theirs. ”

"The villagers saw that there were indeed many messy footprints on the ground, and now it's okay, it's all fried, and they all said that the four people were the reincarnation of monsters, and it was the ghost soldiers of the underworld who came to take them away, and no one dared to stay by the lake anymore, crying and shouting and running home, and set up a platform overnight, inviting the Yin and Yang master to exorcise ghosts."

The news spread like this, and the next morning, almost the whole city knew about it, and everyone said that it was monsters, but those gangsters didn't think so, they were usually fighting and killing characters, where would they be afraid of any monsters, and their focus was on the boat full of gold and jewelry. And so. Since the morning, a dense crowd of gangsters of all stripes has gathered at the Great Lake, found the boat boss, threatened the boat boss with a knife, and took them to the place where the jewels were found last night. As soon as they got there, the gangsters jumped into the water. ”

"You know, the water of the big lake is deep, and I heard the old people in the village say that hundreds of years ago, there were dragons flying out of the lake, but it was mysterious. In this way, these gangsters salvaged for a whole day, and finally salvaged a small amount of gold and jade for them. On that day, there was a fierce fight around the lake, with many dead and wounded. ”

"Later, I don't know how, they studied and found out that these treasures were flowing out of the West Mountain, and immediately all the people and horses set off to the West Mountain, just last night, after the two of you fell asleep, the sound of explosives did not stop, one after another, they were blowing up the mountain. In this way, once one side gets some clues, the other forces will be red-eyed, and the sound of gunpowder, gunshots, and people's screams will not mention how lively it is. But it's no wonder that they have indeed salvaged evidence to prove the existence of the treasure, plus the treasure full of treasures that the boat boss said, after all, it is only the amount brought out by four people, who knows how much treasure there is in the mountain? There are even people who say that it is miraculous, saying that the mountain was once the tomb of the emperor of an ancient country, and the treasures in it can fill the entire lake. Of course these are all things I have heard, not credible, not credible. ”

"But then I did sense that something was wrong in the city, and that afternoon I set off for home, and all I saw along the way were groups of at least a dozen or twenty people, no less than a dozen of them. No, I'm so scared that I don't dare to go into the city today, so I can only let the vegetables rot in the ground, hey. ”

After the old man finished the story, he sighed and pulled the rice bowl again. "Two little brothers, I advise you not to enter the city these days, if you don't dislike it, you can stay in this place for a few more days, the two hundred yuan you gave yesterday is too much, I don't dare to take it."

I smiled awkwardly, took out five hundred yuan from my pocket, and stuffed it into his hand, "Uncle, this meal is very rich, these five hundred yuan will be regarded as the meal money, and the other point, I hope you don't tell anyone about the two of us here, do you see it?" ”

In that era when ordinary people can only earn more than ten or twenty yuan a month of work, when we met last night, I gave two hundred at one time, and the old man is not a fool, and he guessed that we are definitely not a person who does good things, and the last words just now are implying that he probably guessed, this is not much money, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop his mouth.

The old man held the money, took a quick look, confirmed that it was really five hundred yuan, stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, two little brothers, I'm a mess old man, and I won't go out to gossip and make trouble for myself." By the way, you said before that your legs can't move, right, I should still have some external herbs in my house, this rural person, falling and falling are a common thing, that herb is homemade by me, the effect is very good, I don't know if you need it? ”

"That's a good feeling, thank you, come, drink." I toast to him.

In this way, the general matter is clear, it should be when we rushed into the big lake, we scattered with the big four, and then the two of us were inexplicably sent by the mysterious old man to the group of two hundred and five to be taught a lesson, and the big head and they were smuggled away by a team of men and horses shortly after being salvaged by the boat boss. According to this calculation, there are only two possibilities, one is that the old man Hu of the Mingle Guest House saw that we had not come out for a long time, and sent people to look around, and happened to find the big head and take them away. The second is that the underworld forces on any side of the city looking for the tomb will take them away with the intention of entering the tomb again.

Either way, I'll have to get to the city as soon as possible.

After the smoker was completely satisfied, he wiped his mouth and asked, "Uncle, I don't know if you have any sacks here, if so, can you sell two to me?" ”

"Sacks, some of them are very torn, is it okay?"

The smoker nodded repeatedly, "The more broken, the better." As he spoke, he took out two cigarettes from his pocket, lit one by himself, handed the other over, and took out five hundred yuan by the way and handed it over together, "There is a small favor, can you sell me two sets of your old clothes, our clothes are stinky, and it is really uncomfortable to wear them." ”

"Okay, okay." The old man took the smoker's five hundred yuan, and got up and ran to the back room in a hurry.
