Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Past of Unloading the Mountains
If it were an experienced old fritter, I would definitely be intimidated with a few words. Although this girl is good at kung fu, she is young after all, even if she has seen more, how much can she go. So there is an old saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. I don't have personal experience, I just listen to things that are passed down by word of mouth or read from books, and even if I remember a lot, it is still swallowing dates and difficult to digest and absorb.
I saw that the girl already had something to say, so I struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Who are you?" Why plot against us? ”
The girl looked back and forth at me and Xiao An a few more times, and then said slowly: "I have already said, I am a thief. My name is Chen Xiaoyu. We're working around here, and you're afraid you'll find out, so I'm going to take control of you. ”
"I don't think you're that old, why don't you go to school well and do this kind of thing!" My tone was like that of an elder teaching a child. She obviously doesn't eat it.
"Don't preach to this girl, don't look at me as small, I also came back from abroad. Be reasonable, this girl is better than you can speak. ”
"Hehe, okay, I won't argue with you, don't say that I bully children." I said with a smile. At this time, I didn't dare to provoke her, in case she launched a rush, I couldn't imagine the fate of Xiao An and me.
She snorted and continued: "Although there are a lot of people in this group I have gathered, there are no people of their own, these people are all from wild roads, and they don't recognize money and people. If it weren't for the fact that you were carrying the Huo family's family crest, now you are afraid that you would have been buried in the ground. I don't kill you because I'm afraid of the Huo family, but because I want you to spread the word, I want to cooperate with the Huo family. ”
I sneered and said, "If you really want to spread the word, you can just make a phone call yourself, why bother me to speak!"
She glanced at me and said, "You look like you're a big person, don't you have a brain?" The Huo family is also a well-known family on the Southern Sect Road. Can I just make a phone call? What's more, it's all a shady deal, do you dare to say it on the phone? ”
When I heard her say that, I thought it made some sense. A few years ago, not long after the rise of the penguin chat software, two young people from a certain village bragged about B in the chat and said something like robbing a bank. As a result, before the conversation was finished, he was taken away by the Shu millet who fell from the sky. Therefore, the concerns she said are not unreasonable.
Thinking of this, my doubts were a little less, and I asked, "How do you want to cooperate?" ”
She paced back and forth for two steps, and slowly spoke: "Although I am from the Inverted Dou family, since my grandparents, I have already washed my hands of gold and gone to the sea to do business. My father has never touched a bucket or a handful of sand. Although the connections on the road are still there, half a cent of the ability to find dragons and explore caves and move mountains and fights has not reached me. ”
"Then it's good that you do business with your dad honestly, why do you want to do all these illegal things?" I interrupted her and asked.
When she heard this, she gave me a blank look and said angrily, "You think I want to! It's not forced yet. ”
"With your effort, who can force you?" I whispered.
"There are some things that can't be solved with good effort. What's the use of a person's kung fu no matter how good it is? In front of some big people, small characters like us don't dare to make a move at all. When she said this, I could sense her expression a little depressed.
"Your family has offended a big man?" I asked.
"Who will have nothing to do and dare to offend them. If they don't take the initiative to find Amitabha, they will come to the door. She paused slightly, then continued: "More than a year ago, a man came to my father, and the two of them talked in the study for an afternoon. The man had been sent by the big man to ask my father to help him find something. But what it was, my father didn't tell me. The thing was lost a thousand or hundreds of years ago, and the greatest probability was that it was buried in an ancient tomb. It is said that my grandfather was unloading mountains and moving mountains everywhere, on the one hand, to raise money, and on the other hand, to find this thing. ”
"What the hell is that?" I asked again.
"I can't tell you this. Because this thing is said to be large enough to stabilize the country, and small enough to make people immortal. What exactly the big guys want it to do, I don't know. But once this news leaks out, the people of the nine sects and eight factions are afraid that it will set off another bloody storm. She spoke in a resolute manner, so I didn't ask any further questions.
"So what happened? What's the matter with you? I asked.
"The big man has approached my father several times, but he has not agreed to help him do things. One is that my father has never really been to the grave, although I have heard some oral rumors from the older generation, but he is not even a half-hanger. And our family is already a serious businessman, and we don't want to get involved in those shady things anymore. What's more, if there is really something that can make people immortal, how can it be carried into a coffin by a dead person. But I didn't expect my father's refusal to annoy the big guys, and he casually found an excuse to close all businesses, and my father was also locked up. I rushed back when I got the news, and after seeing my father, he told me to take my mother and leave quickly, never to come back. But how could I ignore his life and death? ”
"So you negotiated terms with them?" I asked.
She nodded, not saying anything in approval. I asked, "So what are you doing here?" Grave? ”
She nodded again and said, "After months of research, I've locked down some of the tombs where that thing might be. This is one of them, and after investigation, it should be a great nobleman of the Three Kingdoms period buried here. ”
"Now that you've found it, dig it yourself. What else are you looking for the Huo family to work with? I asked again, confused.
She sighed and explained: "Although the general location is known, the historical records are vague, and finding a tomb in this mountain is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although there are many of us, but no one knows how to divide the gold and set the holes, we have been digging in this mountain for many days, and we still haven't seen a single tomb brick, and the team that has been improvised under the bottom is already a little deflated. It is estimated that the tomb will no longer be found, and it will soon fall apart. ”
"Then it's not very useful for you to find Huo's family. The Huo family belongs to the southern faction, and the secret method of finding the dragon point is what the northern faction is good at. You should find the power of the northern faction to cooperate. I said again.
She waited for me with wide eyes and said, "You've read too many novels." Dozens or hundreds of years ago, there may have been a distinction between the southern and northern factions. But what time is it? The Huo family of Nuoda, is there no master of the Northern School? Aren't you a northerner yourself? How did it get to the Huo family! ”
I thought about it, and what she said seemed to make sense. But cooperation is such a big thing, and I don't dare to promise it easily as a nobody. I wanted to make a call to ask Xiuxiu first, but after a wipe of my pocket, I didn't know where the phone had gone, and it was probably taken away by this woman.
In fact, even if you have a mobile phone, there may not be a signal in the mountains. I didn't ask her for it. Since I can't contact Xiuxiu, I still want to push this matter as long as I can, and delay it if I can. I asked, "What's in it for me?" ”
When she heard me ask, she actually smiled. Then he said: "You can open the conditions as you like, as long as you can do it, I will agree!" ”
I haha, and then said, "It's okay for you to be my little wife!" ”。
I'm half-joking when I say this, and if she says no, then I can shirk the matter of cooperating. But to my surprise, she agreed.
"As long as you can save my father, of course you can!" She said firmly.
