Storm in Sioux City Chapter 18: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High, When the Murder and Treasure are Captured (I)
As the saying goes: the moon is dark and the wind is high, when you kill people and seize treasures. Of course, killing people is a vice, and treasure hunting can also be considered. However, if you want to seize the treasure, eighty or ninety percent of them will kill people.
When ordinary people do bad things, they always have to find someone to accompany them. This can be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort! Or when you are caught, there is a cushion on your back. Of course, Lin Man'er's heart is not so ruthless at present. During the day, Song Yao gave him a note, which was written the address of the spirit mine of the Luo family in Sucheng. At this point, it is clear.
Lin Man'er was short of money, very short, and after hearing Fenglan say that Xuemei was not as rich as he imagined, he decided to make money himself.
As a man, he also wants face, although sometimes he doesn't want to. However, ever since he had the idea of making money, he has been inquiring about the location of the spirit mine.
However, this news really can't be inquired about casually, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. Once, he actually asked Gao Xun about it, but fortunately he was stopped by Song Yao in time.
Lin Man'er didn't know Gao Xun's identity, but Song Yao heard it. Although Gao Xun's surname is Gao, he belongs to the Luo family. Gao Xun's mother happens to be the eldest lady of the Luo family and has a certain status. That's why he's so rich and proud.
Lin Man'er originally planned to take the fish baby and Huzi to get the spirit stone together, but as soon as he left the room, he was targeted by Song Yao. Song Yao directly explained her intention and brought herself.
Lin Man'er was unwilling, but Song Yao directly scratched his bald head with both hands, as if kneading dough. Lin Man'er had no choice but to take her. After meeting up with Huzi and the others, head to the Luojialing Mine.
Although the ownership of the spirit mine belongs to the Donghao royal family, it can be bought out. Generally, the City Lord's Mansion will send a surveyor to survey the spirit mine, and then sell it at an appraised price. As soon as the news came out, the Luo family directly bought it out with pills. This can't be helped, ancestor blessing.
The Luo Jialing Mine is naturally guarded by cultivators, but it is mined by mortals. Generally speaking, except for the rare case of the collapse of the mine, the mining of spirit ore is not dangerous, but it is more troublesome to find.
Spirit ore is not the same as gold and silver ore, it is like a taro buried in the mountains, find one, follow the vines to find others. If you can't find even a piece, the cost of looking for it will be high.
After discussing with Yu Wazi, Lin Man'er decided to pretend to be absent from work. Anyway, there are a lot of absenteeism, a few more, a few less, and no one cares.
As for how to dress up, it's pretty simple. Grab a handful of mud from the ground and touch it on your face, perfectly. But Song Yao is a girl, and Lin Man'er thinks she will definitely make some kind of moth. However, Song Yao was even more crisp than them, with a white and tender face, smeared like a dirt egg.
Song Yao looked at the stunned three people, and said with an old look: "To be a thief, the most important thing is disguise, I have experience in this." Pointing to the shirtless tiger, he said, "You should also put more on your tattoo, so as not to show your stuffing." ”
When Huzi heard this, he always felt very familiar. Yu Wazi smiled: "We've done it before, it's familiar." ”
When Song Yao heard this, her heart immediately became lively and asked, "When did you do it?" ”
Lin Man'er remembered that she had robbed Shen Jingli and was molested, and her face immediately turned red. Interrupted: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go in!" ”
The four of them carried bamboo baskets on their backs and bent down to walk inside. Stopped just as he was about to enter the mine.
"You four stop." A big fat man with a leather whip swayed over.
Lin Man'er gave the fish baby a look. The fish baby looked resigned to her fate and walked over.
"Where did you come from? How come I've never seen one? The big fat man asked.
Yu Wazi nodded her head, rubbed her hands and said, "Uncle is hard, the little ones have just arrived." ”
"Not long ago? What is your name. The big fat man pulled out a booklet from his waist and prepared to verify it.
Yuwazi was already very tall, so he swept a few names and replied: "My name is Ah Fu, and we are all from the same village." ”
The big fat man saw Ah Fu's name, looked at Lin Man'er again, and asked, "What about you?" ”
The fish baby walked up to Lin Man'er and introduced: "This is the big head, that is the second baby." ”
After the big fat man verified, he looked at Song Yao again and asked, "What about him?" ”
Yu Wazi only swept three names, looked at Song Yao, and was worried about not knowing what name to make up, when a dog barked suddenly. A big wolf dog ran to the big fat man, wagging his tail and looking kind.
The fish baby had an idea and replied: "This is Wangcai." ”
When the big fat man heard this sound of prosperity, he stroked his big wolf dog and said with a smile: "Oh? It's the same name as my dog. Alright, all of you go inside! ”
When the four of them entered the mine, Song Yao kicked the fish baby's ass directly and scolded: "You are Wangcai, your whole family is Wangcai." ”
The fish baby looked aggrieved, obviously she resolved the crisis that was recognized, and she didn't have a reward, and she was kicked for no reason. Huzi helped him up, and the four of them continued to move forward.
The passage through the mine is not very large, barely enough for three adults. However, when they had traveled some distance, they came across four forks. The bifurcation is smaller than the main aisle and can only accommodate one adult. The reason for such construction is related to the fact that spirit stones are not easy to find.
Song Yao's suggestion was to take the leftmost one, but Lin Man'er thought that the rightmost one was better. Song Yao insisted on her opinion, so Lin Man'er and the three of them walked directly to the right. Song Yao was helpless, scolded and followed.
I didn't walk long before I encountered a fork in the road. Song Yao still suggested taking the left one, so Lin Man'er and the three of them walked to the far right. Four times in a row, all of them.
By the fifth time, Song Yao simply stopped talking, and no one listened to her anyway. Just as Lin Man'er was about to continue walking to the right, he met an old man. The old man carried a basket of stones on his back, which looked no different from ordinary stones.
Lin Man'er asked, "Uncle, are you carrying a spirit stone?" ”
The old man leaned against the stone wall, took a breath and said, "What a spirit stone, just a basket of waste stones." ”
"Can waste rock also be mixed?" Song Yao asked.
"It's a fart errand, just be able to exchange two steamed buns." The old man said.
Song Yao snorted angrily and was about to leave, but heard the old man dissuade her: "Don't go over there, there's nothing over there." Go to the left, and maybe you'll run into a bad rock or two. ”
"Is there really no one on the right?" Lin Man'er asked.
"No, it's been a few months, and I haven't even found any bad stones, it's all waste rocks."
When Song Yao heard this, she glared at Lin Man'er, and said angrily: "I told you not to listen to me." ”
Lin Man'er smiled and took the lead to the right. The four of them walked for a while, and then entered a large stone cave. There were piles of rubble on the ground, as well as a few wooden pickaxes. Song Yao pinched her nose with a look of disgust.
The fish baby spat and scolded: "Damn, I don't know how to shit outside, how can I work so stinky!" ”
Lin Man'er ignored this, closed his eyes, and groped on the stone wall. After a while, he pointed to one place and said, "Dig here." ”
Song Yao didn't want to waste her energy in vain, so she found a clean place to sit down. However, Huzi directly grabbed the wooden pickaxe and did it. Lin Man'er pointed out another place for the fish baby to dig, and finally chose one for herself.
About half an hour, the first thing to be dug up on Huzi's side was a rough stone. Song Yao felt it, the aura reserve was abundant, and it was considered a good grade.
Now that you have dug up one piece, it is not difficult to find the others. Song Yao was happy in her heart and began to help Huzi, and it didn't take long to find four pieces.
After about a cup of tea, there is something on the fish baby's side. Only Lin Man'er, the people who dug it couldn't see it, and there was still no gain.
Song Yao looked at the rough stone she had dug up and said proudly, "Hey... The absentee inside, have you dug up the spirit stone? ”
Lin Man'er ignored her and continued to dig inside.
Time flies quickly, and it seems that it is almost dawn, but Lin Man'er still has no gain. On the other hand, the tiger and the fish baby have harvested more than 100 yuan.
Song Yao felt that it was time to go, and shouted at Lin Man'er: "Let's go, this time is enough." ”
Lin Man'er rarely replied, "I feel like I'm about to dig it." ”
"Even if you dig up, you only have a few pieces, forget it!" Song Yao persuaded.
However, Lin Man'er did not give up, and the movements in his hands were faster. When encountering a relatively hard stone, simply use the gravel palm to open the way.
The gravel palm is Jin You's stunt, and the palm power carries the sharpness of the golden aura, and it is extremely fierce. Under one palm, it is enough to split gold and gravel.
Lin Man'er only used the gravel palm three times, and the rate of breathing began to increase. Seeing this, Song Yao walked in and dissuaded: "The location of the spirit stone was discovered by you, and I won't share more." ”
Lin Man'er pointed to the front and said firmly: "Dig one more foot, and there will be something." ”
"It's almost dawn, and if we don't leave, we'll be in danger." Song Yao looked worried.
Lin Man'er shook his head and continued to dig. Seeing this, Yuwazi stopped Huzi and planned to help. But the mine road is too narrow, and this favor is not easy to help. Fortunately, after digging about a foot or so, I found something good. A rough stone about the size of an ostrich egg, through a layer of stone skin, you can feel the abundance of aura.
Song Yao first glanced at the original stone, then looked at Lin Man'er in disbelief, and asked, "How did you know that there is a spirit stone here?" ”
"Feeling." Lin Man'er scratched his bald head and replied as before.
Song Yao picked up the rough stone and smiled like a sunflower blooming in June. If it weren't for the original stone in her arms, she would really rush over and hug Lin Man'er. Because, she is basically sure that this spirit stone is not a heart, it is very likely to be a kumquat. Moreover, looking at this size, at least ten standard kumquats can be separated.
The more Song Yao thought about it, the more excited she became, and urged: "If there is one, there will be two, let's continue digging!" ”
However, Lin Man'er shook his head and said, "No, that's it." ”
When Song Yao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, tonight's harvest was too rich.
The four of them returned to the cave and faced a pile of rough stones, and a new problem arose. How do I get it back? You can't go out openly, can you?
Lin Man'er didn't have any idea about this. Yu Wazi looked at the big guy, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's only take this this time." ”
Song Yao suddenly laughed and teased: "I said that I was alive before, but I didn't even think about how to bring it back." ”
"Do you have a way?" Lin Man'er asked.
Song Yao put down the original stone, took out a bag, and said proudly: "This is called a storage bag, it is a must-have boutique for cultivators to walk the rivers and lakes and kill people and seize treasures." With that, the bag shook and all the rough stones were put in.
Yu Wazi looked at the storage bag in her hand and felt very familiar. He asked, "Can you show me?" ”
Song Yao gave it to him very generously. The fish baby took the bag and found that it was embroidered with the word Donghao, and a plum blossom was embroidered in the lower left corner. At this time, his heart was like a knife. I knew it was a treasure, so I shouldn't have given it to Xuemei in the first place. Lin Man'er also felt a trace of heartache, but this feeling passed in a flash.
The fish baby asked again, "How did you put it in?" ”
"Take the storage bag first, then think about the spirit stone, and then recite the incantation." Song Yao explained.
"What spell?" Lin Man'er looked like a curious baby.
"Little rabbit, open the door."
Lin Man'er knew that this must be teasing him, how could there be such a spell. However, the fish baby really tried it, and the spell turned out to be right. It's just that the stuff he's pretending to be a little disgusting.
Fortunately, Song Yao didn't find out, otherwise she would have to fight with him. In order to make up for his mistake, he asked, "How to take it out?" ”
"It's like putting it in." Song Yao replied.
The fish baby nodded, ready to find a secluded place to take it out quietly, but Song Yao was not at ease and took back the storage bag. Huzi seemed to have found something that the fish baby was packing, and smiled Hanhan.
"What are you smirking at?" Song Yao asked.
Huzi first glanced at the fish baby, and then shook his head. Song Yao snorted and asked Lin Man'er and the three of them to load the waste stone and prepare to go back. Originally, everything was going well, but on their way back to Sioux City, an accident happened.
