Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, as if he understood what Chixi meant.

That evening, when night fell, most of the people in the village, who had no entertainment, had already washed up and rested.

Chi Xi and Xi Dazhuang, who had been squatting for a long time, saw Chi Tiegen walk out of Shi Langzhong's house with their own eyes, then glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one on the road, they buried their heads and ran to the back of the village.

Xi Dazhuang raised his hand and rubbed Chixi's little head, lowered his voice and said, "Look at the direction he is going should be the back mountain, the road over there is not easy to walk, you go home first, and the husband can follow alone." ”

Chi Xi grabbed Xi Dazhuang's hand and shook his head: "No, I want to go with you, the road is slippery in the dark, and he won't walk very fast, I can keep up." ”

Xi Dazhuang hesitated for a moment, Chi Xi shook his arm and coquettishly: "Xianggong, I want to see with my own eyes how many things he has hidden over the years, whether my mother really only left a jade pendant for me, the more I know, the more convenient it is for me to find everything about my mother, isn't it?" ”

Xi Dazhuang sighed helplessly: "If it's not easy to go, don't be reckless, it's okay for your husband to carry you up, understand?" ”

"Okay, I see."

Xi Dazhuang pulled Chi Xi not far away, followed behind Chi Tiegen, and went to the back mountain.

Chi Tiegen is a cautious and cautious person.

After going around the back mountain twice, I went in the direction of the big coal mountain.

The coal mines in the big coal mountain are abundant, and the imperial court has wanted to mine them since 20 years ago, but almost all the people sent to them died in the coal caves, and there are legends that anger the ghosts and gods within a radius of 100 miles, and no one has set foot there for more than 20 years.

Chi Xi couldn't help but sneer: "He hid it really deeply, my mother gave him so many things at the beginning, even his pillow person Su Xiuying never knew, how could he exchange those things for silver money to subsidize the family?" It seems that only 30% of what he told me yesterday is true at most. ”

Xi Dazhuang whispered: "People's greed is very terrible, the more he reveals it to you, the more worried you are about robbing him." If the husband guessed correctly, the mother-in-law should have left more than a jade pendant for you. ”

Otherwise, Chi Tiegen wouldn't be so defensive of her.

"He's not really going to the Big Coal Mountain, is he?"

Chi Xi pursed his lips, and when he saw Chi Tiegen running towards the place of the big coal mountain, he couldn't help frowning and said: "I don't know if you have heard of the legend about the big coal mountain, as long as you have been there over the years, everyone will die, and those who are afraid of death will not go to the big coal mountain." ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, although he is afraid of death, but he can only hide things in places where no one dares to go, is he the safest, isn't he?"

Xi Dazhuang's eyes flashed, and he always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Chi Tiegen stopped when he ran near the big coal mountain, and he squatted vigilantly behind a big tree in the same place for a long time, and after making sure that no one was really following him, he quietly turned around and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Xi Dazhuang bent down and buckled Chixi into his arms, lowered his voice and said: "The forest here is not easy to walk, take you to jump up for your husband, you hug your husband tightly, if you are afraid, close your eyes." ”

Chi Xi nodded, his hands tightly wrapped around Xi Dazhuang's waist, Xi Dazhuang also hugged Chi Xi tightly, and jumped to the top of the tree silently on his tiptoes.

They stood on a high place, watching as Chi Tiegen came to a very inconspicuous tree and stopped.

Xi Dazhuang landed with Chi Xi, hiding in the jungle not far away, silently watching Chi Tiegen.

Chi Tiegen picked up a branch from the side and quickly dug the pit, and after about three feet of planing, he took out a large ceramic jar from it.

He opened the jar and took a look, and after a moment of silence, he took out something from it, and said with a complicated expression: "Don't blame me for not leaving these things to your daughter, it is not easy for me to raise her, since you haven't taken care of her all these years, then these good things, even if you repay me for saving my life and my kindness to your daughter." ”

"Good! It turns out that my mother left you so many things, and you really didn't tell me the truth. ”

Chi Xi's voice suddenly sounded, and Chi Tiegen's face turned pale with fright, and he turned his head in horror to see Chi Xi and Xi Dazhuang standing behind him with heavy eyes.

"You...... When did you get here? ”

He didn't even notice it.

"We've been following you up, you're sneaky at night, and you look like you've done something wrong."

Chi Xi sneered: "How many things did my mother leave for you at the beginning, and what did she explain to you, if you don't say it today, don't blame me for being unkind to you." There is a limit to my patience, and you better not challenge my patience. ”

Chi Tiegen looked at Chi Xi, who was talking fiercely, pursed his lips, and said with a complicated expression: "Xiaoxi, you have changed a lot over the years. ”

He became scared.
