Chapter 4 Old Liu Tou is actually a rich man
It's been a while since Lao Liu buried the big wooden box, if he hadn't seen the slightly raised small mound behind the house, maybe Jin Ye would even forget that Lao Liu Tou had buried something here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The bamboo forest is covered with a thick layer of bamboo leaves, some of which fell last year, and some of which only fell this spring. Summer is finally coming to an end, and although the weather does not become much cooler all at once, the autumn wind blows sharply, blowing the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest into the air and falling from the air. These bamboo leaves stealthily cover up the small mound, as if they knew that there was something amazing underneath.
After dinner, Lao Liu Tou went out again, and Jin Ye thought that he had gone somewhere again. However, Jin Ye waited for a long time and didn't see Lao Liu Tou come back, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, thinking if he was going to go out to see, something else happened.
However, before Jin Ye could leave, Lao Liu Tou came back, and there were three people who came back with Lao Liu Tou, all of whom were about fifty. A man covered with tendons and flesh, with a very rough voice, spoke as if the whole room was shaken. There is also a face that is black, a simple face, and his body is stronger than that of Lao Liu, the only unique thing is his hands, which have a thick layer of calluses. The last one is a sour face, and he looks much whiter, but from the moment he entered the door to the present, his mouth has not stopped, I really don't know where so many words came from.
Jin Ye heard from Lao Liu Tou's words that these people were Wu Blacksmith, Wang Xuanjiang and Li Ledger, and the one who talked the most was Li Ledger.
Lao Liu Tou invited a few people to the house, his face was serious, and the other people stopped talking when they saw this, Lao Liu Tou said: "My brothers have played since childhood, and I will leave today's matter to everyone." ”
Li said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, the brothers know what to do and know what to do." ”
So they didn't speak, picked up the shovel and went to the place where Lao Liu buried the box before. Jin Ye only heard the "rustle" sound of the soil sliding in his ears, and the heavy breathing of several people.
Finally, several people dug up the box and carried it to the hall of the hut together.
There was a kerosene lamp lit in the middle of the hall, perhaps with a gentle breeze, and the flame of a bean-sized candle dancing slightly, like a fairy.
The faint light is really difficult to illuminate the whole hut, and the whole hut seems dim and has a mysterious smell.
Lao Liu Tou stepped forward a few steps forward and was about to pick up the key to open the box, and the other few people all consciously took a few steps back and turned their heads when they saw this, but everyone was curious, how could these three people not have it? Especially Li Ledger, although his head was turned away, his eyes were squinting at Old Liu Tou.
Did Lao Liu Tou find out that Li Tent was peeking, Jin Ye didn't know, Jin Ye thought that Lao Liu Tou probably didn't find out, otherwise why didn't he say anything at all?
A total of five locks were installed on the large wooden box. Lao Liu took out the key and opened it one by one, and every time he opened the lock, the atmosphere became tense. Blacksmith Wu, Artisan Wang, and Ledger Li all seemed to be holding their breath, and they didn't make a sound at all, as if even their heartbeats had stopped. However, their ears were held high, for fear of missing something.
Finally, all the locks were opened, and Lao Liu gently opened the box into a slit that could only fit into one hand. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was tense to the extreme. Lao Liu Tou looked around, and the three people next to him immediately pretended to have a good view outside. Seeing this, Lao Liu Tou quickly took out dozens of taels of silver from the box and stuffed them into his arms.
The three people on the side shrank their eyes suddenly, and they all thought: What is in this place? It turns out that this box is full of silver! Mom! How much silver can this box hold! I didn't expect that the old Liu Tou, who usually dresses poorly and sourly, is actually a hidden tyrant.
It is also like today's peace, at this time the people are relatively simple, if it is a change to an era of rampant bandits, now the people next to them are afraid that they will think about how to kill people and seize treasures. After all, how can Lao Liu Tou keep such a big fortune? If the bandits hear about it, it is estimated that they will come to the door at this time.
However, even if it is peaceful today, it cannot stop the gossip nature of the people. A few days later, rumors came out of nowhere in the village that Lao Liu Tou was a rich man. There is no need to guess this, Jin Ye knows that this is definitely from the three people who came to dig the wooden box together, especially the Li account room, there is no one in his mouth to guard the door, let him know, what can be hidden?
Jin Ye is a bit strange, how could Lao Liu, an old man who is usually quite shrewd, find such a three-person person to dig a wooden box? Now it seems that the village knows everything, what kind of foolish thing is this? It's just that when Jin Ye knew the truth, he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said: I was so smart at that time.
Lao Liutou's daughters-in-law heard the news from somewhere, saying that Lao Liutou had hidden a large amount of silver at home. Several people didn't believe it at first, thinking that it was just a rumor from the villagers, how much money the dead ghost old man could have. But a few people didn't make this matter clear, and they were unwilling in their hearts. So they went to inquire around, and as a result, several daughters-in-law inquired about the source of the rumors, Li Accounting. So something unexpected happened, and several daughters-in-law actually ran to Li's house and met here.
A few people only heard Li Jifang say mysteriously: "At that time, you didn't see that situation, such a big wooden box, full of silver, I have never seen so much silver in my life! Don't believe it, it's not that I lied to you, this is all what I saw with my own eyes, if you don't believe it, you can ask the blacksmith and the smith, they are all famous and honest people in the village, and the three of us have seen it together." Li said as he gestured.
Seeing that several people were still suspicious, Li Tent added: "Don't you know, Lao Liu Tou eats bird's nest these days, and everything that can't be eaten is poured into the dog in front of the door." You say that this is too loser, I have never eaten bird's nest in my life, I don't know what bird's nest tastes like! Li's words were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
