"This" Jin Danzi was speechless for a while, and wanted to test whether the heavy stone was still in Mei Weng's hands, but he didn't think about it, but he was squeezed by his words.

"Please look at the money here. Mo Yan understood Jin Danzi's intentions, so he casually unwrapped the baggage, opened the paper bag containing the money, and pointed out 15,000 taels of silver tickets.

At this moment, not only Mei Weng was stunned, but even Jin Danzi was taken aback.

"Really, really a silver ticket," Méon stammered, swallowing his saliva, "well, you wait for me to fetch the heavy stone." ”

After Mei Weng left, Jin Danzi was stunned and asked, "Mo Yan, where did you get so much money?"

Mo Yan smiled: "It's a long story, these silver tickets are going to be taken home for my father and mother to support the elderly." ”

After a while, Méon returned to the front hall with a heavy brown wooden box and placed it on the table, then took out the key to open the copper lock and gently lifted the lid of the box.

The box contained more than half a box of silvery-white grains as small as sand, exuding a faint luster. Jin Danzi reached out and grabbed some and rubbed them in his palm, and said, "Yes, this is the heavy stone." ”

"Then it's a deal. Mei Wong reached for the silver ticket but didn't grab it, the stack of silver tickets had already been put away by Mo Yan.

"We haven't made a bargain yet. Mo Yan said.

"Tell me, how much?" asked Meon eagerly.

"We will pay you two thousand taels for this half box of heavy stones. Mo Mo thought to himself that he would have to leave more for his father and mother no matter what.

When Mei Weng heard this, he became angry, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Since you bargain, Mei Yong also has to bid again, and if you don't sell it for fifteen thousand, you will get at least nineteen thousand taels." ”

It seems that he is aiming for the money in the paper bag, and is determined to sweep it all away.

At this time, Jin Danzi opened his mouth and said: "Father-in-law, as for the price, we still have to consider negotiating it, after all, it is a large amount, it is better to do this, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Whatever, don't want to take away a heavy stone without 19,000, there is a small inn in the town, go by yourself, don't live in my house, hum. Mei Wong slammed the lid of the box and locked it, then picked it up and turned to the inner hall.

Jin Danzi quickly gestured, Mo Yan stood up and quietly followed behind Mei Weng, watching him enter the new house with red silk tied to the lintel.

"Stuff in the new house. Mo Yan came back and whispered.

"Do it again at night. A smile appeared on Jin Danzi's cold face.

Night fell, Jin Danzi and Yi were lying on the bed in the room of the small inn, and the two of them discussed that if they could steal the heavy stone, they would slip away all night.

"This Mei Weng may also marry a concubine every year to absorb the girl's yin # essence like Shen Yilang, otherwise he won't die a person every year, it's really cruel. Mo Yan thought of the old toad and couldn't help but say.

"It's also to blame those women for being greedy for wealth and wealth, knowing that the concubine they married before won't live for years, but they are still willing to marry such an old guy, who can blame them?"

"If only I could refine a magic weapon that specializes in subduing demons and monsters. ”

"Then you can get the heavy stone back, and the old man will not rest tonight, just sit in this house and wait for your news. ”

Mo Yan took out two thousand taels of silver tickets from the paper bag, since he took the heavy stone of the other family, he also threw the money to Mei Weng according to the amount at the time of the counteroffer, after all, he was still the father of Jin Danzi's father-in-law Yin Danzi.

When Mo arrived, Mo Yan quietly slipped out of the inn and went directly to the Mei Mansion. There was silence in the old mansion hidden under the night, and occasionally a few "chirping" insects were heard, and the entire Meiling Town was already asleep.

The door of the plum house was closed, Mo Yan easily climbed over the high wall and landed in the courtyard, he tiptoed through the corridor into the inner hall, and then came to the new house and leaned on the door to listen, there was a slight and even snoring sound in the house, Mei Weng and the concubine were probably asleep.

Mo Yan took out a knife and gently opened the door latch and entered the room, a pair of big red wedding candles were still burning, billowing green smoke, the faint candlelight reflected the carved sandalwood bed by the wall, and through the gauze curtain, you could see that someone was sleeping in a brocade quilt.

Mo Yan looked around, except for the tables, chairs, benches, and dressers in the room, there was no small brown wooden box containing heavy stones at all, and he secretly took a look under the bed to see if there was no one.

There is a small door less than three feet on the west wall, will it be hidden there, he opened the door lightly and "creaked", and there was a large plum grove outside the door.

"Is that you?" said a woman's voice from the bed.

Mo Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, this voice was extremely old, it was like a young concubine who had just passed the door, and from her questioning, he could hear that Mei Weng was not in bed.

"Well, it's me, you sleep. Mo Yan hurriedly replied in ventriloquist imitation of Mei Weng's voice.

The man in the bed rolled over and fell asleep.

Mo Mo lightly approached the gauze tent and looked inside, and there was an old woman with silver hair and a wrinkled face lying under the brocade quilt

He was stunned for a moment, what was going on? Could it be that the bride had been sucked dry and aged by Meon overnight?

Where did the bridegroom Meon go in the middle of the night?

Mo Yan looked at the plum blossom grove outside the small gate, and then went out.

The plum trees in the backyard were obviously much more lush than in the mountains, and he opened his dementor eye to search all the way, until there was no trace of Madeon on the backyard wall.

Mo Mo thought that Mei Weng must have hidden the heavy stone box, and the backyard door had been locked, so he jumped over the courtyard wall and found that there were still plum blossom forests outside. There was a winding path in the forest that led into the distance, and Mo Yan walked along the road until he came to a cemetery, densely packed with hundreds of tombs.

Under the moonlight, some of the graves were probably too old, and the stone tablets were crooked and even the handwriting on them was blurred. There is a small pond in the middle of this cemetery, and after hearing the sound of footsteps, the shrimp and toads in the grass by the pond all "poof" jumped into the water. On the shore grew an old plum tree, with knotted branches and a trunk covered with black-brown galls.

There are eighteen mounds around the old tree, which seem to be arranged in a very regular manner, Mo Yan walked over curiously, and saw that those tombstones were engraved with "Mei Zheng Clan", "Mei Wang Clan", "Mei Liu Clan", "Mei Huo Clan", "Mei Zhao Clan" and so on. The mound in the middle is the largest, and the stone tablet is "the tomb of Mei Fangweng's wife Mei Huang", which turns out to be the ancestral graveyard of the Mei family.

The night breeze was cool, and the three stars were slanting westward, and it was not too early Jin Danzi was afraid that he was waiting in a hurry in the inn, so Mo Yan turned around and returned to the town. When he walked into the inn room, he faintly smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, and his brain was immediately suffocated, and he immediately became vigilant and held his breath and entered the fetal breath state.

Jin Danzi fell on his back on the bed, his own medicine box and baggage in the room were opened, Mo Yan hurriedly stepped forward and flipped through it, and found that the remaining 17,000 taels of silver tickets in the paper bag had disappeared.
