Hearing his words, the onlookers immediately began to discuss.

Seeing this, the man said, "But I won't hide it from everyone, I actually came here for your treasure here." ”

"But I'm not from you here after all, and as an outsider, I can't go up the mountain to find the treasure without your permission."

"I don't blame those who left the village when they found the treasure. After all, it's all about money. ”

"So what."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of money from his bosom.

"As long as any of you is willing to go up the mountain for me to find the baby, as long as the baby is given to me, I will give each of you a thousand yuan."

"If you are willing, you can come to me first, and each person will receive a hundred yuan, which will be regarded as my revenge for your advance in advance."

"So generous?" Liu Shan's eyes widened.

"Is a thousand dollars a lot?" I asked.

Hearing me say this, Liu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something before saying, "It's a lot." ”

"Even in Baiyun City, a thousand yuan is equivalent to half a year's income of an ordinary person, let alone in this kind of place."

"But it's normal that you don't understand."

"In your place, all your money is burned for."

Liu Shan said, with a little more distress on his face.

I frowned slightly.

Isn't it all paper money that I burn?

Although Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming, who died before, also said that the paper money I burned was money, but I compared it, and the paper money I burned was not at all the same as the money Liu Shan said.

But I didn't think about it carefully, because of the weirdness of Niang'er Village, I haven't figured it out yet, and if I want to know the real truth, I may have to wait until I return to Niang'er Village again.

I turned my gaze back to the crowd.

At this time, two old men had already walked up to the pot-bellied middle-aged man and received the hundred yuan.

But the middle-aged man seemed to be very dissatisfied, and while shaking the pile of money, he asked, "Is there anyone who wants to go up the mountain to find the treasure for me?" ”

"You've all seen it, I've already given a hundred yuan first."

"When you find the baby, I promise to take the rest."

It's just that after he finished speaking, no one moved again, and everyone still had a little scruple on their faces.

After a while, one of them spoke: "Let's wait until the two of them come back." ”

"yes, yes!"

"You don't even believe this Taoist from Maoshan?" The middle-aged man said helplessly.

The Taoist priest also snorted coldly at this time: "If you don't believe, poor Dao won't say much. ”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Daoist, don't be angry, they are also worried." ”

"After all, I also found you, and they should have concerns."

After speaking, he looked at the onlookers and said, "Since everyone has scruples, then I won't force you." ”

"Let these two old men help me go up the mountain first."

"What if I don't find the baby?" One of the old men asked.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, and said with a determined look: "I really didn't find it, and I won't take back the hundred yuan." ”

"Not only that, but I can give you another hundred dollars."

"Think of it as your hard work."

"I won't hide it from you, anyway, as long as I find the baby, I can make a lot of money."

"Then it's settled, don't go back." An old man hurriedly put away the money, then looked at another old man and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, go back and pack up, and go up the mountain to find the baby." ”

Seeing them leaving, the middle-aged man smiled again and said, "You can wait and see, when they come back, if you still want to help me find the baby, what I just said will count." ”

"Disperse, disperse, wait until they come back." One person took the lead and left as he spoke, and soon the crowd dispersed, leaving only Liu Shan and I standing still.

The middle-aged man looked at the Taoist priest with a guilty look on his face.

"Dao Chief, I've worked hard for you this time."

The Taoist priest snorted coldly again: "If it weren't for your face, why would the poor Dao come to suffer this insult? ”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left directly.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, Liu Shan walked up.

"What treasures are there on this mountain?"

Seeing Liu Shan passing, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said vigilantly: "You don't seem to be from this village, right?" ”

Liu Shan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we are just passing by, and we won't rob you of the baby." ”

"It's just curious what kind of treasure made you spend so much money to let them find it."

The middle-aged man looked Liu Shan up and down, and only after a moment did he speak: "It's not a rare thing, it's just that there is an old mansion on this mountain, as far as I know, it is a place where a big man lived in the past, and there are a lot of treasures hidden in it. ”

"I'm just in the antique business, and I can make some money by flipping around with those things."

"But......" the middle-aged man looked at Liu Shan, "you have no way, even if you find those treasures, it's useless." ”

Liu Shan smiled when he heard this: "Then I understand." ”

"It's not like you're willing to do it."

Liu Shan looked at the money in the hands of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was suddenly surprised: "What? Do you want to go too? ”

Liu Shan nodded, then pointed at me and said, "My friend and I would like to go, but we are not from this village. ”

"It's better to wait for the two old men to come back, I'm talking to the people in this village to see if we can be accommodating, so that we can also make some money."

The middle-aged man looked at me when he heard this, and then said, "It's up to you to do this." ”

"But if they agree to let you go up, I can give you the same price."

"Then it's decided!" Liu Shan's eyes lit up.

"Then we'll go first."

"I just came here, and I haven't had a place to stay."

After saying that, Liu Shan pulled me and walked into the village.

It wasn't until I didn't see the middle-aged man that I frowned and said, "I'm still in a hurry to bury the dragon village." ”

"I don't have time to find any treasures."

Liu Shan looked around and made sure that there was no one before he said, "Don't you feel that something is wrong?" ”

"Something is wrong?" I was stunned for a moment, a little bit unclear.

Liu Shan said in a low voice: "The one who collects the treasure and the Taoist priest must be for a while." ”

I asked, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Shan explained: "I have seen a lot of this kind of trick, and the two of them are colluding at first glance, the purpose is to make the people in this village believe their words. ”

I still don't quite understand and ask, "What's the point of doing this?" ”

Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but I'm sure there must be something wrong here." ”

"And didn't you just hear, a lot of people have disappeared after going up the mountain."

"I don't believe it, I found the baby and ran away."
