Chapter 122: True Treasure
"Don't worry, they didn't find out that you took the gold coin, and you came to hide from the wind and sand. Bai Yi listened carefully to the wind outside the house, and said to Aliba, who was full of horror.
"Damn it, open the door. ”
Mejana opened the wooden door, and the cold wind poured into the dilapidated house, and the oil lamp on the table went out instantly, and Aliba hurriedly lit the extinguished oil lamp.
"Masters, please come in!"
By the faint light of the candle, Mejana looked fearfully at the seven or eight vicious Uighur robbers in front of her, and the burly bandit leader subconsciously swept through the dilapidated house, not seeing anything of value.
The robbers sat around the lit brazier, and the leader of the robbers said, "Get us something to eat," and Mejana brought the cooked fish soup and handed it to the robbers.
"Boss, the secret of the treasure really needs to be told to the Tors family. ”
The robber leader said: "We don't know how to open the treasure, Meilong Town belongs to the Tors family, our every move is monitored by them, when we found the treasure two days ago, they knew the news, according to the news I learned, Tolls is tired of coming to Panlong Mountain tomorrow night, we might as well sell him." ”
"The Tors family buys and sells strongly, and if you don't sell it, you will rob it, the eldest brother is right, we can't offend them, otherwise we don't know how to die. ”
The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, raised his head and drank the bowl of fish soup, looked at the oil lamp and said coldly: "It's too dark, add some oil." ”
The figure reflected on the wall walked around, and she took a spoonful of oil, and the dim oil lamp brightened.
The leader of the robbers stirred the red-hot charcoal fire of the brazier with caustic soda, drank five or six bowls of fish soup in a row, and when the wind and sand outside the house were a little lighter, he walked out of the dilapidated house.
"Sister Mei, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll go out for the time being. ”
The white clothes watched the group of robbers leave, and thought to himself that how could they tell the Tors family that they should destroy their good deeds, it is better to take advantage of the wind and sand to do them all.
Not far from the dilapidated house of Mejana sat a large mansion, and the butler Artopus bent down to sort out dozens of bags, and Altobus swept over the fat Gesim sitting on the seat and his tall, thin and ugly wife beside him, and secretly complained in his heart.
"Altobus, I'm not here to give you three silver coins a month, but I'm not here to make you mutter. Geshemu's fat palm held the ginseng tea, fiddled with the porcelain lid, and the afterglow of his eyes was like a knife into Altobus.
Artobus carefully inspected the bag to see if there was any damage, and when he heard Gesimu's voice, he replied respectfully, "Master, what are you going to do with so many bags?"
"Stupid thing, I spend thirty-six silver coins a year to invite you to work, to feed you, to clothe you, and you still have to ask such stupid questions? You must know that thirty-six silver coins can invite two young and beautiful maids, nimble and nimble, you old immortal. ”
Gesim grabbed a few peanuts from his plate, rattled into them, and screamed.
"Don't be lazy, go to the donkey pen to see the donkeys, feed them with more forage, don't let Aliba steal my donkey, I expect it to get rich tomorrow!"
Gesimu's wife stood up, tall and lanky like a compass, took out a broken oil lamp from a drawer and shouted, "Tobus, take this oil lamp to illuminate it." ”
Gesim sprang up like a cheetah, snatched the oil lamp from his wife's hand, held it in his arms, looked at Altobus uneasily, and asked, "Altobus, Altos, hey, I ask you, do you need an oil lamp for forage? I know you don't need it, right?"
Altobus cursed in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Ahhh ”
Altobus looked at the sky, the sky was dark and full of yellow sand, revealing only a glimmer of purple light, which was enough.
Geshemu wiped the peanut oil off his hand along the leather coat, his dachshund-like lips trembled slightly, spit out a peanut shell, and said: "Altobus, you are so considerate of me, I spend thirty-six silver coins a year to invite you because you can save money for me, you are much better than such idle and spends money like water, you are really a great steward." ”
When Gesim said this, he heard the old donkey in the donkey pen outside the house neigh, and cursed, and shouted: "Artobos, Artos, hey, what are you doing? Go and see the donkeys, these donkeys are hungry again, damn it, hungry faster than men, and should have killed them if they knew they were." ”
Geshemu looked at the swarthy mountain outside the house and thought, "What does it matter? Tomorrow I, Geshemu, will have an innumerable amount of gold coins, and I will divorce that stinky girl and marry a two-room concubine, no, a three-room concubine." ”
Altobus was praised by Gesimu, he was very happy, he was very proud of being the most economical steward in the world, Altobus smelled the smell of donkey dung wafting from the donkey pen, listened to the wheezing sound of the old donkey, came to the donkey pen in disguise, picked up grass from the donkey pen to feed the donkey, his heart was filled with inexplicable happiness, and secretly laughed.
Altobus weighed the amount of forage in his hands, and he could accurately calculate how much each donkey was eating, so that the donkey would not go hungry and could work smoothly.
"Knock! knock!"
There was a knock on the vermilion-lacquered wooden door.
"Altobus, Altobus, hey! You damn old man, you're still lazy, go and see who's knocking on the door, could it be that Mao San next door has come to collect debts again, damn it." ”
Gesim muttered at the top of his voice, and Altobus put down the hay in his hand and walked towards the gate in the dark.
"Geshemu, Geshemu. ”
Ali Ba was anxious and moaned, the vermilion door opened, and an old man in a brand new jacket, with a long horse face, small sesame eyes, and a short beard, looked at him with a broken hat, Ali Ba knew that he was Geshemu's butler Artobus.
"Well, it's Aliba, what are you doing at night, you damn it! You must have come to borrow salt, you don't know how expensive salt is, you don't know how poor Geshemu is, you borrowed salt last time, so I didn't dare to put salt in cooking for a month. ”
Aliba thought of the fierce bandits and said, "Altobus, my brother is going to Panlong Mountain to get the treasure, the robbers have returned to the mountain, he can't go up the mountain, he will be killed by the robbers." ”
Artobus thought of the donkey and the bag, and thought to himself that the master was going to Panlong Mountain to get the treasure, and I secretly followed him, and when I Altobus had money, I would be able to be the butler of the Tors family, and I would no longer have to look at Gesimu's face.
Altobus made a frightened expression, made a 'hiss' sound in his throat, and shrieked, "Oh my God, you are so vicious, you poor devil dare to curse my lord." ”
Ali Ba was too lazy to entangle with Altobus, he wanted to break into the mansion, Altobus's thin and tall man completely blocked Ali Ba, his opal-like eyes shot a light like an executioner, he must not let the poor set foot in Gesimu's house, he would kill himself.
An oil lamp flickered and jumped closer and closer, and Gesimu, with his round belly, shouted: "Altobus, you don't feed the donkey, are you lazy? ”
"Master, your poor brother is here, he will curse you to be killed by robbers, I will teach him a lesson for my master!"
When Ali Ba heard Geshemu's voice, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother, brother, the robbers go back to the mountain, you can't go to Panlong Mountain to get gold, they will divide your five horses into corpses, and you will die a miserable death." ”
Geshemu's eyes glowed with greed and anger, and his round face flushed as he ran like a whirlwind in front of Aliba.
"Aliba, Aliba, oh! My cruel brother, you want your brother to become a poor ghost, you do everything possible to want your brother and me to become a poor ghost, you have such a black heart, pity our dead parents, you should bless me. ”
Geshemu clenched his fists tightly, his fat trembled, and his mustaches cocked angrily, revealing a sad and resentful expression.
"The robber just came to my house, Geshemu, Geshemu, my good brother, don't you go to Panlong Mountain?"
Geshe Mu snorted coldly: "I have to withdraw the gold coins tomorrow morning, Aliba, don't try to deceive me, I know your thoughts, you want me to become a poor ghost, you are really crazy, you want the people of Meilong Town to look down on me." ”
The white man followed the Uighur bandits, his sword aura bursting out, burying their corpses with wind and sand, and he took out his jade flute and blew it, and a vulture swept towards him, disappearing into the night sky with his message.
When the sky was bright, Wu Boss, Ha Daba, and the snake man in the desert snake cave all came, the snake man was covered with poisonous snakes, and the snake flute hung from his waist, and an emerald poisonous snake drilled through his nose and slipped out of his dark lips, the scene was terrifying.
Ha Daba and the snake man have some intersection, he told the story of the snake man to Bai Yi, the snake man is from Gulnipo, a small country on the border of Zhongyi Prefecture and Donghai Zhou, he was born in the snake tribe, is the youngest son of the leader of the snake people.
The boy of the snake tribe is proud of taming the snake, the young man who can't tame the snake can't get the girl's heart, and can never start a family, the snake man once saved a foreign girl when he caught a snake, and his thoughts became heavier and heavier after the girl left, the snake tribe is forbidden to intermarry with foreign tribes, he resolutely gave up the position of the patriarch, and took the puppy and the snake to wander the world, just to find the trace that haunted him with the girl.
When the snake man found the girl, she was already married, holding a three-year-old girl, he was spurned by the family and the tribe, and what he was looking for was just a ridiculous dream, he secretly waited for the girl, how he hoped that the girl's marriage would be unhappy, so that he would have a chance to have her.
He silently waited for the girl for a year, her life was very happy, she had a husband who loved her, she had a lovely daughter, he knew that he was destined to be lonely in this life, and when he left, he wished the girl he loved, hoping that her life would always be as happy as now.
"Your Excellency. ”
The white cloth looked at the snake man and smiled: "Snake cave master, if I have time, I also want to learn the skill of taming snakes, I hope the snake cave master will give you advice!"
The snake man's face was pale, and the jade poisonous snake slipped into his arms, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, a few days ago, the brothers of the snake tribe sent a message that the snake tribe was in crisis, and I hope that the lord can help." ”
"Snake Cave Lord, you get up first, what happened?"
Ha Daba looked at the embarrassed expression of the snake man, and said with a disturbed head: "Lord, the letter didn't say anything, only that the snake tribe was in crisis, and we don't know the specific situation." (To be continued.) )
