Chapter 20: A Nest of Snakes and Rats (2)
Ask for support......
To be honest, although I can understand Changyu's behavior. But after all, there was some anger in my heart...... In fact, this time I came to the old house, and I didn't need this fat man to come. Subconsciously, it seems that Wen Fei still wants to toss him!
"It's okay, let's clear the two!" Wen Fei said.
"Hehe, that's good. Zhang Yu laughed a few words, and then reacted: "What's the matter now, you killed the things inside?"
Wen Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be!" Only then did he remember, walked over quickly, and found the thunder mark he threw out.
Fortunately, at that time, his hands and feet were weak, his breathing was not smooth, he had no strength at all, and he did not throw far. Otherwise, in an old house with a lot of clutter, it would be really hard to find.
When I picked up the thunder mark, I saw that there were some signs of blackening, as if it had been roasted on the fire, and as if it had been struck by lightning.
"It's evil. Wen Fei shook his head, he still didn't know what was going on.
But I heard Zhang Yu shouting: "It seems that there is really nothing wrong here, do you find that the temperature seems to be back to normal!"
Wen Fei felt as if it was, and he didn't know when. The eerie smell that used to give you goosebumps is now gone.
"Go in and have a look. Zhang Yu said, raised his feet and walked inside, as if he had forgotten the lesson just now. Wen Fei was startled and wanted to hold him, but thinking about it, it seemed to be ...... It should be all right, right?
In its heyday, the Jin Chamber of Commerce occupied several acres, but now it is naturally gone. In the past few decades, more than a dozen families have lived in, demolished and built indiscriminately, so that this old house has long been unable to see the former pattern.
The two of them walked around the inside a few times, but they didn't see anything that was in sight. I was about to push it out, but I heard a loud noise, and it seemed that something had collapsed.
Both of them became frightened birds, and when they heard the unusual movement, they jumped up together. But apart from this movement, there was no sound.
"Do you want to go over and have a look?" asked Wen Fei. Wen Fei relied on the support of the thunder seal, and said stubbornly: "Just take a look, what are you afraid of?"
As soon as he said this, Changyu seemed to have confidence, and it seemed that he really regarded Wen Fei as a master at this time.
The two of them walked towards the place where there was movement, only to see that the outer wall of a house had collapsed. It is obvious that this wall is very old, and the bricks on it are all old-fashioned green bricks, made of lime, and I don't know how many years old. But that's not the point, the point is that a lot of silver dollars were scattered all over the ground as the walls collapsed.
And on the silver dollar in this place, there was a snake the thickness of an adult's arm, lying on it, not knowing whether to die or live.
Such a big snake makes people's legs a little weak when they look at it. But after the two looked at the snake, they were obviously relieved. The serpent was scarlet, and I don't know how many years it had lived, but it was dark and purple. The most important thing is that this kind of snake, both people know, this is the house snake.
This city is an old town. There are a lot of old houses, especially before. Every household lives in this kind of old house, and most of them are preserved from the Republic of China or earlier in the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the mouths of the elderly, or from their own personal experience, they have seen this snake.
According to the rules of the old people, it is not allowed to fight this kind of snake, because this kind of house snake will bless the safety and prosperity of the house. What's even more strange is that this kind of snake doesn't hurt people, whether it's Wen Fei or Zhang Yu when they were young, they didn't see this kind of snake when they were young, but this snake never hurt people. I haven't heard of anyone who has been bitten by this house snake.
"This is a house snake, right?" Zhang Yu said, visibly relieved.
"It seems to be yes," Wen Fei couldn't figure it out, he had never seen such a big house snake. It is at least four or five meters long when it is straightened, and the thickest part is as thick as an arm, which looks quite panicked!
"Dead, right?" Wen Fei said: "Just now, it seems that this snake is making trouble again, and when it grows so big, maybe it will become a sperm." ”
As soon as Wen Fei said this, he saw the snake twitch. The two of them shrank back, although the house snake doesn't hurt people, but this kind of obviously become sperm, who knows if it hurts people?
As soon as the snake moved, it revealed something pressed under its body, and in addition to the silver dollar, there seemed to be something else, tightly wrapped in oiled paper, and it was impossible to see clearly.
"Look over there, ......" Zhang Yu pointed to the broken wall, Wen Fei followed his finger and looked over, and saw a golden light flashing, and it seemed to be a gold bar inside.
"It seems to be a place to hide treasures, could it be that this house snake is specially guarding treasures?" asked Zhang Yu.
In fact, Wen Fei also thinks so, looking at this situation, there is a possibility of ** points.
"There seem to be a lot of gold bars in it, all of them are big yellow croaker!" With a grunt, Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva: "It seems that this is a treasure from the Republic of China, maybe it was hidden by those Jin merchants back then." ”
Wen Fei snorted, if he hadn't crossed over, Wen Fei would have been very excited when he saw so many gold bars. But after going through these things, he looked down on these things again.
"Big yellow croaker" refers to a gold bar of ten taels. According to the old system, 1 catty and 16 taels, 1 tael = 500/16 = 31.25 grams, this amount is not much different from 1 ounce of gold today. Therefore, the weight of the "big yellow croaker" gold bar is 312.5 grams today.
During the Republic of China, the value of the currency was unstable, and those fiat currencies and gold yuan coupons fell in three days. Some of the warlords who have recreated the separatist territory have also been beaten over and over, and none of them have stopped. Rich people have gold and silver in their hands, or silver dollars that are full of silver. And don't trust those banknotes. This must have been hidden inside the walls by the rich at that time.
"Is this snake dead?" Zhang Yu wanted to find something to pick up the house snake.
"Don't move!" Wen Fei shouted, "Be careful!"
The house snake seemed to understand what the two of them were saying, and struggled, and the frightened two took a few steps back. Then the snake seemed to be badly wounded, twisting its body, and seemed to be spasming. But he can't make a snake array to scary!
"It looks like this snake is really bad!" Zhang Yu said: "Brother Snake, Brother Snake." We brothers just want to take the money below, but I didn't expect to hurt you. If you give us the money, when you die, we can bury you well, isn't it?
Wen Fei suddenly cried and laughed, and scolded: "Is your fat man's head twitched, is this snake brother called by you? Maybe people have lived from the Republic of China to the present, and you have to call people Grandpa Snake......"
