Chapter 304: The Peach Tree in the Old Courtyard
His consciousness fell on the first fish, which was very calm, and saw nothing special about weeds, silt, and fish and shrimp under the water.
Xu Mo turned his consciousness to the second fish, and the result was similar. The third, fourth, and even a dozen or so are like this. It wasn't until a dozen or so later that some changes took place. Xu Mo fell on this fish, and the fish immediately gave him a kind of consciousness, and just now when he dived into the water, the fish found a round, bead-like thing.
Xu Mo's heart moved, and let the fish catch the thing. The fish wagged its tail and dived to the bottom again. Xu is familiar with the road, this time it didn't take long, the fish swam out of the water, Xu Mo let it swim to his side, stretched out his hand, the fish opened its mouth, and sure enough, it spit out a bead.
It was not an ordinary bead, but a pearl, but it was not in good condition and was of little value. Xu Mo held it in his hand, and he still felt joy in his heart, although the value of the beads was not large, it proved one thing, if he wanted money, he could get a boat to the sea and command a group of fish to the bottom of the sea to fish. Imagine that thousands of fish go underwater at the same time, and the salvage is 100 times better than any salvage ship, and it is completely incomparable.
"Uncle Xu, what is it?" When the fish emerged from the water, the two girls came over at the same time to watch. Zhou Yanyan looked at the pearl in Xu Mo's hand, and then asked.
Xu Mo said: "It's a pearl, you can take it and play with it." As he spoke, he handed the pearl to Zhou Yanyan.
"Pearl?" Zhou Yanyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took it. After a few careful glances, I didn't think there was anything special, and I was slightly disappointed, "Such a pearl." ”
Yu Qiuwen said: "Yan Yan, let me see." ”
Zhou Yanyan handed over the pearl, and Yu Qiuwen looked at it a few times, "It's a bargain on the stall, it's worthless." But where did you get that fish?"
Xu Mo said: "Fishing underwater." ”
"Let the fish be fished?" Zhou Yan Yan was surprised, and then asked: "Uncle Xu, how did you do it?"
"Shhhhh so as not to be heard by others.
Zhou Yanyan glanced back. He asked no more.
Xu Mo sent the fish away, and without the help of the fish, the two girls could no longer catch shrimp, and soon lost interest. Then he put down his fishing rod. Look at Xu Mo's busy work.
Xu Mo drove a school of fish. Fishing underwater, and soon after, something came up. But they are all ordinary objects, which are accidentally thrown or deliberately thrown into the water by people who come here to play.
Xu Mo was busy for a while, and suddenly felt happy, he had a lot of other ideas, but in front of so many people, it was not easy to implement. After thinking about it, he took Zhou Yu's second daughter out of the rainforest valley, put the fish and shrimp he got into the trunk of the car, and drove away. Soon arrived at the bottom of a hillside, Xu Mo drove the car and drove up the hillside.
He had planned to find a place where no one was and summon a group of animals to come and test, but when he was near the top of the mountain, he saw a courtyard. The yard was surrounded by a fence between a patch of trees, and it looked a little old. Xu Moduo took a look, and saw that outside the iron gate in the middle of the wall, there was a sign with the words 'house for sale'.
Xu Mo was about to leave, and when he saw these words, his heart couldn't help but move. The courtyard was in a remote location, and he had just driven all the way up the mountain, and he didn't see anyone else along the way. I had just gained the ability to transmit intelligence, and I was about to experiment with some animals.
The pharmacy is in the community, and it is too inconvenient to do this kind of thing, but the environment in the mountains is suitable for you. Since the house is going to be sold, why not buy it yourself?
Thinking of this, I turned my eyes to look under the sign, and there was a phone number written under the sign. Xu Mo took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
Soon after, the phone was connected, and the voice seemed to be answered by an old man, "Hey, hello, what's the matter?"
Xu Modao: "Hello, I saw a yard in Yueshan, and the sign outside the yard said that the house was for sale, is it your house?"
The old man's voice said, "Yes, do you want to buy a house?"
Xu Mo said: "I have this intention, I want to see your house first, okay?"
The old man seemed to be a little pleased when he heard Xu Mo's words, which could be distinguished from his voice, and asked eagerly: "Where are you?"
Xu Mo said: "I'm just outside this courtyard." ”
The old man hurriedly said, "Okay, you wait, don't leave, I'll be there soon." ”
"Okay. Xu Mo agreed. The old man hung up the phone.
Zhou Yanyan glanced at Xu Mo strangely, and said suspiciously: "Uncle Xu, do you want to buy a house?"
Xu Mo nodded, "How about I take a look at this yard first?" Then he opened the car door, walked out of the car, and walked outside the yard.
He stood outside the iron door, the crack in the door looking in. This yard is not small, at least a few thousand square meters. It's just that there aren't many things in the whole yard, and there are a few houses scattered at the very end. At least dozens of pits were dug in the yard, and the pits were filled with rainwater.
Xu Mo looked at it for a moment, couldn't guess what he was doing, and went back to the car to wait.
After another while, the sound of the car engine came from the bottom of the hillside, Xu Mo thought it was the old man coming, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a young woman who was driving.
The car was a white Nissan, and the young woman was the only one in it. Xu Mo's call was answered by an old man, so he felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he turned his head.
The young woman's car stopped behind it, and the woman got out of it. She looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and her expression was cold. On her, wearing a well-fitting black women's suit, she has a good figure, a slender waist, and a waist-cinching top just highlights her figure perfectly. At her feet, a pair of black high heels, her hair tied up, and a black women's bag in the crook of her arm.
The woman walked up to Xu Mo's car and reached out and knocked on the window.
Xu Mo rolled down the window and glanced at the woman. "What's the matter?"
The woman's expression was very indifferent, and when she walked towards Xu Mo's car, she also gave people a feeling of menacing. But at this time, he and Xu Mo's eyes met, and they were immediately affected by his sixth sense spiritual consciousness, and then he was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned peaceful, "You bought a house?"
Xu Mo didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Are you?"
The woman didn't answer him, and said coldly: "The house is not for sale, you can go." ”
Xu Mo smiled slightly. "Answered my phone. It doesn't seem like you. ”
The woman's face showed a little impatience, "That's my dad, he has something to do, and he can't come." Let me tell you. ”
"Really?" Xu Moqing knew that something was wrong. Where will you believe her words? Then I took my phone out," I asked him. ”
When the woman saw that he was about to make a call, she immediately became anxious. shouted, "What are you asking, what are you asking, just leave quickly, what are you rubbing around?" said and stretched out his hand, about to snatch Xu Mo's mobile phone.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "You don't take advantage of being rough." As he spoke, he struck the whip of his soul in the past, and he deliberately controlled his strength without hurting anyone. Rao was like this, and the woman couldn't help but shudder.
"You...... You ......" The woman's heart was attacked, as if she suddenly saw something terrifying, and subconsciously took a few steps back. Pointing at Xu Mo, he felt that the terrifying feeling seemed to disappear, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say for a while.
Suddenly reached into the bag and touched it, touched a small pistol and came out, pointing at Xu Mo.
"Ah!" Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen were immediately frightened when they saw the pistol, and couldn't help screaming, holding their heads and squatting down.
The woman then threatened, "Are you leaving?"
Xu Mo smiled and said, "You're scared of the child, let's put it away." Saying that, it was another whip of the soul, and this time it took a little more force, and the woman was immediately fixed on the spot. Xu Mo stretched out his hand and easily took the pistol in her hand.
The woman's body was free, and when she found that the pistol had fallen into the other party's hand, her face turned pale in an instant, "You...... You...... What kind of magic is that?" Obviously, he didn't recognize Xu Mo's Spiritual Whip, and naturally thought of it.
At this time, the sound of the car engine came again from the bottom of the mountain. Xu Mo turned his head to look, this time it was a taxi, the car stopped when it was near, and an old man in his sixties hurriedly walked out of the car.
Seeing the woman, the old man's face immediately sank, and he scolded: "Xiaoice, what are you doing here?"
The woman's 'Xiaoice' hurriedly said, "Dad, this yard can't be sold." ”
The old man looked very unhappy, "Whether you can sell it or not, you don't count." If I don't die for a day, this yard won't be yours for a day. ”
The woman glanced at Xu Mo, then walked to the old man's side and whispered to persuade, "Dad, the thing hasn't been found yet, you have sold it now, if someone else finds it, won't it be a loss?"
When he spoke, his voice was very low, obviously not wanting Xu Mo to hear it. But Xu Moer's power is psychic, even if the woman's voice is smaller, she can't hide it from him, and she hears every word.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, he suddenly became angry, "Find, find, find, find a fart, my life has been ruined like this, if you don't sell it, you will be the same as me in this life." ”
The woman hurriedly reminded and lowered her voice, "Dad, you're too loud, beware of being heard by others." ”
The old man didn't eat this, stubborn, "I just want people to know." Then he ignored her, raised his voice, and asked Xu Mo, "Young man, are you going to buy a house?"
Xu Modao: "I want to see it first, can I?"
"You want to see the house?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course." As he spoke, he walked towards the courtyard, and said as he walked, "I'll take you over to have a look." ”
Walked to the edge of the courtyard wall, took out the key, opened the iron door, pushed the door open a crack, and asked Xu Mo to enter, "Young man, come with me." ”
Xu Mo followed, and Zhou Yu's second daughter followed him.
The young woman saw Xu Mo follow into the courtyard, a little anxious, walked quickly to Xu Mo's side, and threatened in a low voice, "The old man is confused, sell the treasure as rubble, if you dare to buy it, I will definitely not let you go." ”
Xu Mo smiled, not paying attention to her threat at all. As for what this woman said, selling the baby as rubble and deliberately creating a treasure hunting posture, I don't know that it was not a marketing strategy that they negotiated and deliberately made. Let the buyer think that there is a treasure in the yard, so as to increase the price?
I went into the courtyard at the moment. But I heard the old man introduce: "This is an old courtyard, a hundred years ago, my grandfather's grandfather was a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty, during his reign, he accumulated a lot of wealth, and later the Eight-Nation Coalition broke through the capital, and when the country broke and fled, it is said that the treasure was buried in this courtyard." ”
Xu Mo was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect this old man to be so direct and say all these words.
"Dad. The woman's Xiaoice tried to stop it.
But the old man would not listen to her. He said to himself: "But that's just from the mouths of the older generation." Whether there is one or not, the devil knows. With a self-deprecating smile, he continued: "Anyway, I've been looking for it all my life, and I haven't even found a copper coin. See those pits?" he said, reaching out to the pits in the yard. And then he said, "These pits. It's all dug up by digging treasures. ”
"Dad, how did you say it. The woman's Xiaoice stopped him again.
The old man glanced at her, a helpless wry smile on his face. Then he said to Xu Mo: "This is my daughter, called Fang Bing, in my life, it is because of this legend that I have ruined myself by looking for treasures." Alas, if only I hadn't told her at the beginning, now my daughter is also so preoccupied with finding treasures that she doesn't want to do anything but hunt for treasures. If I don't sell this house, I'm afraid that she will be like me, ruined by these illusory things for the rest of her life. ”
Xu Mo smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.
But hearing Fang Bing complain: "Dad, how can you tell outsiders about this kind of thing?" said and glared at Xu Mo fiercely, and threatened: "I warn you, you can't buy this house, if you dare to buy it, I will definitely not let you have a good time." ”
The old man said: "Some people have asked before, but they were either scared away by her gun, or they suspected us of doing something." Hehe, in this world, I tell others the truth, but others don't believe it, thinking that we are deliberately saying this to raise housing prices. Young man, if you really plan to buy this yard, I can give you a cheaper price. ”
Xu Mo asked, "Then you make a price." ”
The old man said, "The house was built later, and it is not worth much, mainly this land." My yard is about 7,000 square meters, if you sincerely want to buy it, I will give you 20 million. ”
20 million, with the land price of Wan City, this price is reasonable, and it is even a lot cheaper. Xu Mo listened to this price, and couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, could it be that the old man was not lying, and the conversation between him and his daughter was not to take the opportunity to raise the house price?
The woman's Fang Bing was anxious, and loudly dissuaded: "Dad, you can't sell it." As he spoke, he said to Xu Mo: "Hey, I've warned you, you can't buy it." If you dare to buy it, I will definitely be polite to you. ”
Xu Mo ignored her, thought for a while, and said, "I'll take a look at something else." ”
The old man said, "I'll take you to see it." As he spoke, he led Xu Mo forward.
It seems that many trees have been planted in this yard, all of which have been dug up, and you can still see tree pits on the ground. But on the left side of the courtyard, there was still an old peach tree, the crown of which was very large, and there was a hole in the old peach tree, and when I looked through the hole, the heart of the tree seemed to be empty.
There are a few leaves scattered on the old peach tree, you know, this is May Day, the peach tree blossoms and bears fruit, and grows vigorously, which is also in this time period. The old peach tree is obviously dying.
"This old peach tree, planted by my grandfather's grandfather, is more than 150 years old. The old man saw Xu Mo looking at the old peach tree, and hurriedly introduced to him, "Because of the treasure hunt, the other trees have been planed, this old tree, because it was planted by my grandfather's grandfather, and it is a year, the meaning is different, and it is a pity to destroy it, so it is still kept." However, in order to hunt for treasure, I dug a hole from somewhere else and looked under its roots. Don't look at the empty heart of this tree, before digging it, it is still alive and well, and it can bear a lot of peaches every year. This tree is old, and the peaches that grow are much more delicious than those on ordinary trees. After digging, maybe I accidentally destroyed too many roots and hurt the vitality of the old tree, so it became like this. Alas, looking at it like this, it must not live long. ”
Xu Mo nodded, and walked around the old peach tree, the old peach tree was extremely thick, and the three of them couldn't hug it, and it separated countless branches, which looked like a giant mushroom.
When he walked to the tree hole, he couldn't help but look into the tree hole, which was not deep and empty.
When the old man saw his movements, he immediately understood his intentions, and said with a smile: "I have looked for this tree hole decades ago, if the treasure was placed in it, it would have been found out a long time ago, why would it have been delayed until today?"
Xu Mo smiled faintly.
But the old man continued: "Young man, if you want to find a treasure, you can buy this yard and find it slowly. As long as you buy this yard, I can tell you all the clues related to the treasure hunt, what you want to know. If you find a baby one day, it will also belong to you. ”
Fang Bing shouted again: "Dad, the yard can't be sold, how can you tell others the clues of the treasure hunt?"
The old man still ignored her and looked at Xu Mo expectantly.
Xu Mo thought for a moment and looked at the houses in the courtyard, "These houses?"
The old man said, "These houses were built later, and they are worthless. Otherwise, this courtyard is a cultural relic, and the price must not be so low. As long as you buy the yard, these houses will naturally be at your disposal, and you can demolish them if you want to, and build them if you want to. ”
Xu Mo nodded and looked towards the house. The houses were all old houses, one by one. The old man said that it was built later, and this later, apparently, has been around for decades.
"I'll see what the house looks like. Xu Mo said again.
"Yes. Then the old man took him to see the house, and went to a house, and when he opened the door, a musty smell came out of the house. Everyone took a few steps back together, intending to wait for the mildew to dissipate before entering.
There was a sudden creaking in the room, and then a swarm of rats ran out. (To be continued......)
