Exiled Huajiao

Chapter 38 People die for wealth, birds die for food

The mountain road is rugged and the ox cart is bumpy.

The two cows made a "moo" sound, and they walked with the wind together with the crisp sound of cow bells and the squeaking sound of the wheels.

The young man sitting across from Bai Xi, with a worldly background, spoke with a local accent and asked Bai Xi's name.

Bai Xi sensed a demonic aura in him, but it was very strange, but he couldn't tell what kind of demon he was.

"My surname is Bai."

With a calm tone, Bai Xi answered briefly.

A gentle smile appeared on the young man's face: "I'm in Xiadijiang. Listen to Miss Bai's accent, aren't you a local?"

Bai Xi nodded and said nothing more.

This young man named Di Jiang has a similar appearance and demeanor to the young demon hunter Yuan Jun, and he also likes to ask questions.

Is it a coincidence, or...

"Is Miss Bai also going to Duzhujun Mountain in Wu County?"

Di Jiang is a person who is very good at chatting, even when faced with a cold-tempered person like Bai Xi, he still chats with his parents enthusiastically.

Bai Xi nodded and said "En".

The shark demon told Bai Xi that the prophet Bai Ze was going to a place called Wu County in Bashu to visit a friend, so she came here.

In the innermost part of the bullock cart, there were three big men sitting, as well as a mother and son. When they heard that Bai Xi was going to Duzhujun Mountain in Wu County, they all turned their heads and cast their eyes on Bai Xi.

The waists of the three big men were all bulging, their eyes were fierce, and they stared at Bai Xi with gloomy expressions.

The young woman hugged the child in her arms with a nervous expression on her face. Seeing Bai Xi looking at her, she hurriedly lowered her head and hugged the child even tighter.

The five-year-old child felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by his mother, so he called out "Mother".

The young woman patted him on the back and coaxed him softly: "Close your eyes and sleep. When you wake up, you will be home."

The child closed his eyes obediently, curled up in his mother's arms, and fell asleep comfortably.

The three big men all have fleshy faces and triangular eyes, and they look somewhat similar.Seeing a woman named Bai Xi who was not afraid of their ferocious eyes, and stared back at them intently, the faces of the three of them couldn't help but turn a little colder, their eyes were full of vigilance like thieves.

Di Jiang glanced at the three big men, and asked in a low voice that Bai Xi also heard the rumor, so is he going to Lord Du Junshan?

Bai Xi didn't know what the rumors in Di Jiang's mouth were, so he replied casually.

"I'm going to visit relatives."

"Miss Bai came all the way here to visit relatives, who is she visiting relatives?"

"Family ancestor."

Bai Xi answered two words briefly, with a prevaricated tone, as if not interested in continuing the chat.

But Di Jiang seemed to find a speaker with great difficulty, and said seamlessly: "Recently, many people in Wu County have become rich overnight. I hope there are no ancestors of Miss Bai among them."

Only getting rich can relieve worries!
Getting rich overnight is the dream of many people.

But Di Jiang bluntly expressed that he didn't want Bai Xi's family ancestor to get rich, which sounded very unpleasant.

But Di Jiang didn't mean to find fault, Bai Xi became curious, said "oh", and stared at Di Jiang.

"These words seem to have a lot of meaning. I don't know why Xiongtai said that?"

Di Jiang was not in a hurry to answer, he took a deep breath, tilted his head and glanced at the three big men in the car.

Seeing that the three of them didn't pay attention to them, he leaned forward, approached Bai Xi, and lowered his voice extremely low.

"Some time ago, the statue of Jin Sanniangniang on Duzhujun Mountain in Wu County appeared. As long as you pray to it devoutly, you will get a jar of gold. But..."

Di Jiang stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and moved closer to Bai Xi mysteriously, his voice became deeper and deeper.

"There will be no free pies in the sky. If you get gold, Empress Jin San will take one from you."

Although Di Jiang kept his voice extremely low, the bullock cart was only about the size of a hand. The young woman sitting in the cart, when she heard Di Jiang's words, her face was frightened, and she hurriedly hugged the sleeping child tightly. In my arms, I seem to be afraid of being snatched away.

And those three big men obviously heard Di Jiang's words, and once again cast unfriendly eyes on Bai Xi and the two, and the eyes were even more fierce, making one suspect that they would draw out their knives in the next second and slaughter the people on the bullock cart. everyone.

The atmosphere in the car became even more weird because Di Jiang mentioned Jin Sanniang.

The driver driving the car was very calm, as if he was used to such scenes.

Bai Xi is also well-read, but she has never heard of such a golden lady. I wonder if some kind of spirit in the mountains pretends to be a mountain god?
"Are you thinking that it must be the spirit of the mountain who deceives people?"

Di Jiang saw through Bai Xi's suspicion, and smiled and said that he thought the same thing when he heard it at first, until he saw with his own eyes a relative living in Wujun, who took gold to his house to pay off the debt.

He has bitten the gold with his teeth, it is definitely real, not a fake made by Jingmei with stones and soil.

As Di Jiang said, he secretly pouted at the three big men in the car, and told Bai Xi that the three of them must also be going to Lord Du Junshan of Wu County to pray for gold from San Niang Niang.

Moreover, he also bluntly stated that he also wanted to go to Du Zhujun Mountain to find out.

If it is true, he also asks Empress Jin San to reward him with a jar of gold; if it is false, he will eliminate the harm for the people.

Eliminate harm for the people?

These four words are somewhat intriguing!
Bai Xi tapped her fingers on her knees: "I don't know what Miss Jin San took from them?"

According to what Di Jiang said, Jin San Niang Niang gave the wisher a pot of gold, and at the same time took one thing away. I wonder what she wanted in return?
"Very different."

After Di Jiang's relative got a pot of gold as he wished, he lost an eyeball and became a one-eyed dragon.

According to the one-eyed dragon relative of Di Jiang, some people lost an ear after getting the gold; some lost their arms, and some lost their legs.Without exception, all became disabled.

Although he lost a healthy and complete body, many people think that what he lost is not worth mentioning compared to the money he has spent in several lifetimes, and it is very worthwhile.

The wages of avarice is death.

There are many people who will even commit murder for money. Bai Xi does not comment on this behavior of exchanging his body for money.

But Di Jiang said that this is not all.

He looked at the toddler in the arms of the young woman in the bullock cart, and sighed, "I heard that recently there was an unlucky guy who got gold but lost his son."

The young woman, who had been tense all the time, trembled violently when she heard Di Jiang's words.

The young woman was like a quilt, her whole body was almost covering the child, she was extremely nervous.

Under the young woman's turned up sleeves, Bai Xi saw the shiny golden bracelets, and they were a pair.

The sharp-eyed Di Jiang also saw it and let out a "tsk".

"Another fool who traded a child for a blessing."

The young woman obviously heard Di Jiang's ridicule, her lips moved, and finally said nothing, but silently held her child's hand.

Bai Xi remained silent. She was sure that this Jin San Niang of Lord Du Junshan was definitely not a mountain god.

Is the friend who the Prophet Bai Ze is going to visit in Wu County the same as Jin San Niang?
And he came here simply to visit friends, or did he have other reasons?
