Chapter 2 Red Lion Dart Game
"I was sure that it was indeed the right way up the mountain, so I hurriedly ran down the mountain, and as soon as I opened my legs, I felt a feeling of weakness all over my body, and when I looked down, I was directly startled.
I looked everywhere on my body again, I couldn't believe it was my body, but I still wanted to go home, and I began to run down the mountain, and I was bored when I ran to the back, and I was about to lie on the ground. ”
After hearing this, Shi Tongtang said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the doorway you said is those big wood ash boxes?"
Cheng Xin nodded, a greedy look appeared in his eyes, but he also said quite jealously: "Although it was an accident where I went last time, I have figured out where it is in the past three years."
"That's what the older generation in our village often calls the depths of Yuhu Mountain," he said, taking out a cowhide map from his arms, unfolding one end and stuffing it into Shi Tongtang's hand, and holding the other end in his hand.
If you open the cowhide map, you can clearly see the items marked on it, and the terrain near the stone village is basically clearly marked.
From the sign of the stone village, a large stone can clearly be seen with a black line, a long line passing through a sign in the shape of a kettle, until the black cross drawn on another blank map.
"After three years of repeated confirmation, I am sure that this is the place," Cheng Xin said excitedly, pointing to the black cross on the map.
Yuhu Mountain is rich in metal minerals and jade, and the elders of the older generation in Sifang Town often warn the village children that there are man-eating monsters in the depths of this mountain.
Even several towns next door say that this youkai can lure people through its baby-like cry.
Don't tell the people of their respective towns to go anywhere. Sifang Town is the closest town, and Dashi Village is even closer, you must know that the big stone at the entrance of the village is rolled down from the mountain.
At the beginning, the people of Sifang Town went to the mountains in groups of three or five to find out, but there were not many people who went. The rest of the people in the village did not dare to go again, and they did not dare to explore it until they were old.
Therefore, no one has ever been to the depths of Yuhu Mountain, and no one knows what is in the depths of Yuhu Mountain and what it looks like, but it has been rumored from generation to generation that there are man-eating monsters in the depths of Yuhu Mountain.
The various villages in the town are also rumored to be in the depths of the Jade Pot Mountain.
Shi Tongtang was not from this village, he came here with his wife, and he didn't move things, the villagers asked him, he said that he moved from Xixing Town, and he used to have some festivals with the landlord, and the landlord often found trouble with others, and since he provoked the landlord, he didn't want to live there. Just move farther away.
The village chief said that from now on, your surname will be Shi, and the former landlord of the province will find you, and we will not be able to explain it at that time. Shi Tongtang said that my name is Wang Tongtang, and I will be called Shi Tongtang in the future, and I will have my surname Shi from now on.
In fact, Shi Tongtang just wanted to live in seclusion in Dashi Village, and when he came to the village, he developed rapidly, and soon had a family business, and slowly became a wealthy family in the village.
After Cheng Xin finished speaking, Shi Tongtang thought seriously for a moment and asked, "Has the Li family in Sifang Town sent someone there?"
"I've been, of course I've been, the Li family is equivalent to the emperor of a dynasty within a radius of thousands of miles, and most of the jade industry on Yuhu Mountain belongs to the Li family, and the others are from other landlords and tyrants."
"I heard that at that time, the Li family specially came to the nearby village to recruit some martial arts people who had reached the body forging realm, and when the people were recruited, there were more than a dozen people standing in front of our village, and there were two masters of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the head of the Li family also went at that time, and the realm reached the internal strength realm."
Shi Tongtang frowned deeply after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "What happened later?"
"Later, no one returned, the head of the Li family, and all the martial arts people in each village have lost their news, so far the martial arts people in Sifang Town, including our village, have also suffered heavy losses."
"Such a dangerous place, you have been to so many people and there are not necessarily survivors, you have actually been to the depths and seen the legendary man-eating monster, and survived" Shi Tongtang said suspiciously.
Cheng Xin sighed and returned, "That's right, if I say it, one person will pass it on, one village will pass it on to one village, if the Li family knows about it, they will have to arrest me and torture me."
"Is that big ash box sure it's the second-class cargo of the Red Lion Club?" Shi Tongtang asked questioningly as he looked through the window at the Jade Hushan, which could only be seen vaguely.
"Well, it's confirmed, it's wrong, there's a fiery red lion printed on the box, and the Red Lion Club usually uses gray boxes to transport goods, which is inconspicuous, and it is the second-class goods delivered by his family."
Shi Tongtang took a sip of tea and thought quietly. Cheng Xin, whose eyes were full of worry, said again: "The Red Lion Club Dart Bureau has to deliver second-class goods, not to mention that there must be six internal strength realms, two masters of the dark strength realm, and none of them survived, so you can know how terrible that monster is."
Cheng Xin paused again, turned his head to look at Shi Tongtang's eyes, and said seriously: "But after all, we don't go to the deep cave, let's just go to the cave where it is not shallow or deep and drag those big ash boxes back, I know that Shi Yan Ghost is a master of the internal strength realm, your skills are assisted by internal strength, and the movements are faster, we can act in the daytime, a big ash box is as easy for you as lifting a baby, how about taking it and leaving?" As long as this time it succeeds, I will give you more of the things in it, and I can guarantee that you can pay off the Li family's silver taels, and I promise that as long as it is not too deep, it will be absolutely safe," and finally said with a little temptation.
"You... Shi Tongtang's eyes widened, and before he could say anything, Cheng Xin rushed to say
"Six years ago, I happened to pass by at the door of Li's house, and suddenly I was interested and asked someone with gossip. Later, I had a job to do with your neighbor Shi Dang, chatting with him, and listening to him talk about your going to the hospital. ”
"What did Shi Dang say?" asked as he looked down at the tea in his cup
"He said you were very weak at the time, but for a moment your body seemed to be very blurry, and when he looked at it again, he thought he was drunk and dazzled, hehe"
"How did you tell?"
"I later went to Wuxing Township to collect a lot of things about martial arts, and after analyzing what happened before and after, it was you who beat those thieves away seven years ago" and looked into his eyes
"Have you ever said it to anyone else," Shi Tongtang did not deny
"No, don't worry, tell others what you can do, I'm idle"
"Give me three days, let me think about it again, this work can't be taken lightly," Shi Tongtang pressed his temple with his right hand and closed his eyes and said unceremoniously.
"Of course there can be no problem, then Brother Shi, you will be my eldest brother in the future, don't call you a smoker, I'll come to you in three days, I've already got the food, go back to feed my four mouths first, see you in three days!" Cheng Xin said happily, generally Shi Tongtang said that if you think about it, there is basically a drama.
After speaking, he took the bamboo basket containing grain in his right hand and put down the teacup with his left hand, the tea in the teacup was already cold and thorough, and he went out to stretch his waist and go back as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
The Red Lion Club is a well-known dart bureau in Heiding Mountain, and most of the four major families on Heiding Mountain usually consign their belongings to the Red Lion Club Dart Bureau to help watch the luck, which is the most assured.
It's because there is a great master of the Imperial Qi Realm in the dart game. The master of the Imperial Qi Realm can release his true qi and then through some martial arts cheats, he can practice a fist similar to a flame to fly in front of the enemy out of thin air, and the true qi enters the body, and causes physical injury, internal and external injuries, and the true qi scales freely, hurting people invisibly.
Therefore, the things that the Red Lion will escort are worth two hundred silver at the fifth level, two or more thousand silver at the fourth level, two tens of thousands of silver at the third level, two hundred thousand silver at the second level, and two millions of silver at the first level, and even special goods have been transported.
The Red Lion Club has a good reputation for not being stolen by bandits, nor will there be robberies by bandits who don't have long eyes.
It's no wonder that Shi Tongtang is so tempted, the family's family situation has indeed been getting worse and worse year by year over the years, the material of the clothes has changed from thin to coarse, his wife Yu Hongyu's body is even more overworked, and he needs medicine patches every day to nourish his body when he is six years old, and the child should learn martial arts when he is six years old, and it is another expenditure, and the Li family's high loan has three years left, but it is also a large expenditure.
I don't know how Shi Tongtang has supported a family in the past seven years. Not to mention the second-class level, it is the third-class and fourth-class level, Shi Tongtang may want to give it a try.
Just as Cheng Xin ran out for a while, Shi Senqing, who was standing outside the east wall, also quietly turned back the same way, and ran to Gemu Store to complete the things his mother had explained.
It turned out that when Cheng Xin had just entered the east room, his mother Yu Hongyu, who was in the kitchen, gave Shi Senqing an errand job.
Shi Senqing's mother said to Wang Senqing: "Sen'er, our porcelain bowl is broken again, you go to the Gewen shop in the village to replace two new porcelain bowls." Shi Sen's mother said softly to Shi Senqing.
The mother lovingly kissed Shi Senqing on the forehead and said, "Go quickly", Shi Senqing raised his immature face and said in the child's immature voice: "I know my mother, I must go back quickly"
Saying that, he took the things that his mother gave him to exchange, walked out, and just passed by the east room, he happened to hear the big bird's nest that Cheng Xin said. Wang Senqing became interested and wanted to listen to it, but his movements did not slow down a little, and he walked straight out of the courtyard.
Shi Senqing is already six years old, but his facial features are very strong for some reason, and even the subtle sound of grasshoppers jumping in the grass in the yard can be clearly distinguished on such a rainy day.
So much so that Cheng Xin could hear what he whispered in Shi Tongtang's ear, where did he think of hearing such a thing.
In fact, Shi Tongtang heard the whispered conversation between Shi Tongtang and Shi Senqing's mother Yu Hongyu every time.
Shi Senqing, who is only six years old, already knows the difficulties of his family, so he is usually very well-behaved, and he does whatever his parents say.
Shi Senqing had never told his parents about his good hearing, so neither Shi Tongtang nor Yu Hongyu knew about it.
