Chapter 4: The Secret of the Treasure Part I
Mo Xiaofeng looked at Yu Zhe running over, as if there was something urgent, and asked, "Big brother, what's the matter with you?"
Yu Zhe came up and hugged his arm and said, "Second brother, come over first, I'll tell you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
His family pulled Mo Xiaofeng to a hidden place and whispered: "Second brother, the eldest brother has a few words to remind you, it is about your seventh uncle. ”
"What's wrong with my seventh uncle?"
Yu Zhe looked serious and said: "You saw it all when the master punished the traitors just now, one by one it was miserable, it shouldn't be the first time you have seen this kind of scene, this living person is either fried or boiled, or chopped and fed to the wolf, or..."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Mo Xiaofeng interrupted him: "Big brother, I don't understand, why did you say that my seventh uncle withdrew here for no reason, what does this have to do with my seventh uncle?"
"No!" Yu Zhe said: "Otherwise, I'll make a long story short, I just don't know if you like to listen to it or not, I actually just think... Your seventh uncle...... He ......" he hesitated and didn't know how to say it, "Well, how to say it?"
Mo Xiaofeng saw that he was so embarrassed to speak, and said, "Big brother, if you have anything to say, how can a manly husband talk about his mother-in-law!"
Yu Zhe gritted his teeth and said simply: "Alas, so let's go, let me ask you, do you think your seventh uncle is a little suspicious about his origin!"
Mo Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Big brother, where did you start with this?"
Yu Zhe said: "You see that you and your seventh uncle have been separated for so many years, and you have not been in contact with each other for so many years, who is like and who knows what to say, it is not good," leaned closer to Mo Xiaofeng's ears: "What if he is a spy sent by the official army." ”
Mo Xiaofeng hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "You can't talk nonsense. ”
Yu Zhe took his hand away and said apologetically: "No, I'm just guessing, I just want to remind you to be careful, you saw everything about the Zhan Hall Master just now, once the old man became suspicious, can you drag it out when the time comes?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaofeng thought to himself: Could he have heard himself talking to Huai Chong about the treasure, and deliberately told Huai Chong's identity in a trap so that he could learn the news of the treasure. He secretly began to be proud: finally fishing. Then he nodded and said, "But there is some truth in what you say, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
Yu Zhe said: "Don't worry, I don't have malicious intentions, I won't talk nonsense to others until the matter is clear." ”
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Then what do you say we should do now?"
Yu Zhe patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I won't care about our seventh uncle's affairs, but you have to tell me in detail about the whole process of your seventh uncle waking up, and see what is abnormal in him, so that I can peck and peck carefully." ”
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Didn't I tell you all this at the time, why do you still ask!"
Yu Zhe pretended to be very solemn again, rubbed his chin with his hands, and rolled his eyes again: "Think about it again, what did he tell you after he woke up?"
Mo Xiaofeng scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, after waking up, it's just a bit of a daily routine, and there are some small things that have been done in the past few years, and nothing else." ”
"He didn't say what to do?"
"I didn't say that. ”
Yu Zhe looked at him with strange eyes and said, "You really didn't say it, don't hide it!"
Mo Xiaofeng pretended to be nervous and said, "No...... No, I didn't say anything!"
Yu Zhe smiled: "Second brother, as soon as you speak nervously, the eldest brother knows that you must have something to hide from me." ”
Mo Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "I really have nothing to hide!"
"Really?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "I won't tell you, I have to go back!"
Yu Zhe hurriedly grabbed him and said bluntly: "But second brother, when I went to deliver food just now, I walked to the door of your room and overheard you talking about Jinlong Island and treasures......
Mo Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ah, this ...... Did you hear that?" At this time, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind: "Big brother and second brother, you two are very affectionate!"
The two looked back and saw that it was Ye Rongshuang walking towards them.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Xiaoshuang, what are you doing here?"
Ye Rongshuang swayed her body, walked over slowly, and said, "Why, I can't come here to wander around!"
Yu Zhe saw her coming, but suddenly looked panicked, as if he was deliberately avoiding her and didn't dare to look at her, and said to Mo Xiaofeng: "Second brother, let's talk about it later, I'll do something first." ”
Mo Xiaofeng grabbed him and said, "Big brother, why are you leaving again when your little sister comes?"
Yu Zhe took off his hand and said, "Let's talk about that later." After saying that, he turned around and hurried away.
Mo Xiaofeng felt strange, and listened to Ye Rongshuang jokingly and said, "Hey, big brother, why did you leave, that matter is no longer discussed?"
Yu Zhe didn't answer, and there was no trace of work for a while. Ye Rongshuang smiled proudly there.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Xiaoshuang, what did you say about the eldest brother, I just said that I had something to do, but when I saw you, I had to leave." ”
Ye Rongshuang said: "You can ask him to go to this, ask me what I am doing, the ghost knows what medicine he took wrong!"
Mo Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I obviously heard you say that there is something to discuss, what are you discussing, is it inconvenient to tell the second brother?"
Ye Rongshuang glanced at him and said quietly, "What's the matter, can you take care of it?"
Mo Xiaofeng sneered: "Could it be that you guys have something unsightly!"
Ye Rongshuang didn't like to listen to it, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Mo Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's nothing, just ask!"
Ye Rongshuang said again: "I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Mo Xiaofeng stretched his waist and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
Just about to leave, Ye Rongshuang hurriedly said: "Hey, second brother, why do you want to leave again before you say a few words?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "My seventh uncle is still waiting for me, and I will talk to you when I have time." He finished and left.
Ye Rongshuang was in place, stamping her feet angrily, extremely helpless and complaining in her heart.
Mo Xiaofeng returned to the room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Huai Chong sitting next to the table, and there was an old man with white hair sitting opposite him who was talking, but the old man was Ye Yaokong, and there were two apprentices standing behind him. Mo Xiaofeng shouted: "Father-in-law!"
Ye Yaokong got up and said: "Feng'er, you are back, I just heard that your seventh uncle woke up and came to take a look, but I didn't see you as soon as I came, you don't take good care of your seventh uncle here, where did you go?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "I just chatted casually with my eldest brother and younger sister outside, and I came back a little late." ”
Ye Yaokong said: "Well, the three of you brothers and sisters should be together more and talk to each other more in the future, now you have another seventh uncle, we will all be our own family in the future, I was still discussing with your seventh uncle just now, and the two of us will be called brothers in the future," he said to Huai Chong again: "Is it Huai brother." ”
Huai Chongqian said with a smile: "It is my supreme honor to be able to become brothers with Gang Master Ye!"
Ye Yaokong scolded: "What's the matter, brother, I treat you as a brother, and you are still called Ye Gang Master." ”
Huai Chong hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, Brother Ye." ”
Ye Yaokong said to Mo Xiaofeng again: "Feng'er, if your seventh uncle wants to do anything in the future, we can help you with all your might." ”
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Yes, father-in-law." ”
Ye Yaokong stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first, it's okay, you guys can talk slowly here." ”
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Father-in-law, you have only been sitting for so long, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
Ye Yaokong said: "If there's nothing to do, I won't disturb the two of you to talk about the old relationship!" He said to Huai Chong again: "Brother Huaixian, I will leave first." ”
Huai Chong got up and said, "Brother Ye go slowly." ”
Mo Xiaofeng sent Ye Yaokong out of the house and returned to the house. Huai Chong asked Mo Xiaofeng and said, "What happened to that matter." Mo Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The words we talked about were really heard by my eldest brother, just now he deliberately wanted to find out the secret of my treasure outside, I didn't say it, it is estimated that he will do everything possible to find out the news." Huai Chong said: "What should we do next?" Mo Xiaofeng said: "I have my own plan for this, we need a big ship right now, the bigger the better." Huai Chongyi patted his chest and said: "This is no problem, wrap it up on me, I am an expert in shipbuilding." Mo Xiaofeng said: "You can't do it alone, we have to go to the town to hire a few more people." Huai Chong said: "Let's go together tomorrow." ”
After the two discussed, they went down the mountain to eat in a small town called Baikou Town, went back to sleep in the same bed, and began to prepare for the shipbuilding the next day. After three days, Huai Chong drew the drawings, hired a group of people in the town, cut down trees and trees, and moved to the sea to start building ships.
Once Huai Chong went out, he happened to be met by Yu Zhe, Yu Zhe quietly followed, hid in the dark, and saw that Huai Chong was the only one there to supervise the work, so he wanted to test it again.
He ran over from afar and shouted, "Seventh Uncle!" Huai Chong didn't answer, he called again: "Are you Seventh Uncle?"
When Huai Chong saw him coming, he knew that he had come to inquire about the treasure again, so he pretended to be surprised to see him and said, "Oh, it's the eldest nephew, how did you find here?" They had grown acquainted with each other for a few days, and Huai Chong had gotten used to calling him his eldest nephew.
Yu Zhe said: "It's okay, I just walked around, I didn't expect to see you here!\" He pointed to the workers who were building the ship and said, "Hey, what are you doing here, Uncle Seven?"
Huai Chong said: "I have a recent big deal that needs to go to sea, and I need to build a boat. ”
Yu Zhe said, "You almost lost your life last time you came back from the sea, where are you going this time, what is there on the sea that is worth your adventure?"
Huai Chong pointed to the sea on the opposite side and said: "Don't underestimate this sea, there are a lot of places outside him that you don't know, there is more than one Central Plains in this world, you see that from here to the east you can finally reach the Great Food Country, you may not have heard of the Great Food Country." ”
"I've never heard of this!" Yu Zhe said on his lips, and secretly reprimanded in his heart: It is clear that Jinlong Island has become a big food country again. Then he said, "What are you doing there?"
Huai Chong's expression suddenly became heavy, and he sighed: "Alas, it is said that it is a business, but it is better to gamble on his life!"
"Bet your life!" Yu Zhe's eyes widened.
Huai Chong said: "Yes, those who do our job are gambling with their lives, there are many dangers at sea, we take an old life all day long and dangle under the nose of Lord Yama, do you say this is a gamble!"
Yu Zhe said: "Then you still go, stay in the Tiger Nest Gang, live a comfortable life, how good is it to eat and drink?"
Huai Chong said: "I have been used to wandering on the sea for half my life, and I have long been used to this kind of day, if I am allowed to quiet down and live a calm life, I will not be used to it!"
Yu Zhe said: "If you want to do what you say, can you not call me for this kind of thing, and I will take the brothers of the Ghost Fire Hall to take care of it." ”
Huai Chong said: "No, I'm used to seeing this kind of place, it's good to get out if something happens to a person, if there are too many people, it will cause trouble, not to mention, and it will affect the brothers." ”
Yu Zhe calculated in his heart: he was obviously deliberately looking for an excuse to get rid of him. He also said: "Seventh uncle, you are looking down on our brothers, our brothers in the Ghost Fire Hall have not experienced any dangers, you can rest assured if you take us!"
Huai Chong smiled bitterly: "It's not that I look down on you, I really don't need any help." ”
Seeing that he refused to live or die, Yu Zhe thought to himself: He wants to steal the treasure, and it is useless for me to say anything here. He smiled and said, "That'...... Won't my second brother go with you?"
Huai Chong said: "I'm really embarrassed to trouble too many people for this kind of thing." ”
Yu Zhe said: "Seventh uncle, if you are alone, you must be careful." ”
Huai Chong thanked: "Thank you for your concern, I know." ”
Yu Zhe didn't get out of his mouth for a long time, how could he forget it like this, he thought about it and said: "By the way, Uncle Seven, I heard before that there is a mysterious fairy island on the sea, where there are countless rare treasures, gold, silver, pearls and jade, what is it called......" pretending not to remember clearly, thought for a while, clapped his hands and said: "By the way, it's called Golden Dragon Island." ”
"Oh?" Huai Chong shrugged his shoulders and said with a stunned expression, "Do you know Jinlong Island?"
Yu Zhe said: "What's the matter, Uncle Seven, you also know?"
Huai Chong said: "I'm ...... I...... I've heard of it, but I've never been there, so it's probably just a legend!"
Yu Zhe said: "If it's not a legend, it's true, do you want to find it?"
Huai Chong said: "Forget it, I'm not interested in that kind of deceptive place," and asked him again: "What, are you going to go?"
Yu Zhe said: "No, no, no, I am not a greedy person, as long as I am at ease every day, enough to eat and drink, I am not rare treasures, I mean if you want to go one day, you can call me, I am not for anything else, just to shelter you from the wind and rain for the seventh uncle." ”
Huai Chong saw that he was really proud when he patted his chest, and he was amused in his heart, and said: "I understand your kindness, let's talk about this when I come back after this time." ”
Yu Zhe said: "Seventh uncle, don't, I really want to follow you to the sea to see for a long time, I have never been to the sea when I am so old!"
Huai Chong said, "But even if I agree, your father-in-law won't agree!"
Yu Zhe held his chin in his hand and said, "Yes, otherwise, can you tell my father-in-law." ”
Huai Chong said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, in my opinion, your gang is now in danger, and if you are in a hurry to employ people, your father-in-law will definitely not agree, so let's stop alarming your father-in-law." ”
Yu Zhe still refused to give up, and said: "Seventh uncle, you don't treat me as a nephew like this, you can't help me with such a small favor?"
Huai Chong really couldn't resist him, "Alas!" sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to your father-in-law." ”
Yu Zhe was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That's great, thank you, Uncle Seven!"
Huai Chong smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to thank me, whether your father-in-law can agree to that is another matter!"
Yu Zhe said: "Okay, as long as you can help me say a favor, okay Uncle Seven, it's not too early, then I won't bother you anymore, you are busy with you first, I'll go back first." ”
Huai Chong said: "Okay, you go first." ”
Yu Zhe said again: "I'm leaving Uncle Seven." Then he turned and departed.
Yu Zhe thought about this matter as he walked, and felt suspicious in his heart: "Could it be that he really heard it wrong, no, I have to find someone to inquire again." Thinking about passing by Mo Xiaofeng's room, I happened to meet Ye Rongshuang coming out of Mo Xiaofeng's room.
"!" The two looked at each other. Yu Zhe asked, "Sister, what are you busy with?" Ye Rongshuang had a cold face and said, "Don't worry about it!" Then she shook her head and ignored him, and hurriedly walked away with her hands behind her back, which made Yu Zhe very embarrassed.
Yu Zhe expected that Mo Xiaofeng must be inside, could it be that something happened just now. He walked over, opened the door and shouted, "Second brother!"
Sure enough, Mo Xiaofeng was sitting at the table and didn't know what to think, when he saw Yu Zhe coming in, he got up and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's a coincidence that you came, I was just going to look for you." ”
Yu Zhe entered the house and said, "I saw Xiaoshuang walking out in a hurry just now, and she didn't seem to be very happy, what's wrong?"
Mo Xiaofeng took his hand and said, "Don't worry about her first, big brother, come over first, I have something to tell you." ”
Yu Zhe said: "Then it just so happens that I also have something to look for you." ”
Mo Xiaofeng pulled Yu Zhe to the table and said, "Come, big brother sit down and let's talk slowly!"
Yu Zhe sat down and said, "You better tell you what you have first." ”
Mo Xiaofeng smiled: "Okay, then I'll talk about it first, but I said it, big brother, don't be upset." ”
Yu Zhe said: "Hey, we brothers still need to say this, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Mo Xiaofeng hesitated a little and said, "Uh, that's the case, this ......" He seemed to have something difficult to say: "I heard that eldest brother, you ...... a few days ago That one...... This ......"
Yu Zhe didn't understand why he suddenly became slurred when he spoke.
