Villager of Destiny

Chapter 108 Someone Returns

From the moment I decided to go to Zanlong Village, Li Bowen seemed to know everything in advance, and even asked Liu Shan to follow me.

At the beginning, I still couldn't figure it out.

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable for Li Bowen to seek Liu Shan.

Because Liu Shan's personality is obviously more suitable for dealing with strangers than mine, and Liu Shan seems to have a lot of trust in Li Bowen, so Liu Shan has no other ideas about what Li Bowen explained, just follow through.

If such a person follows me, I will be able to passively do many things.

For example, stay here in Tanhua Village.

But there is one thing I don't understand.

Why did Li Bowen tell Liu Shan that I should help whenever I encounter anything.

What is the point of doing this?
Or, what impact will the things I encounter along the way have on me?
Or is it some other reason?
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out, but when I looked at Liu Shan, he was already snoring, and he had obviously fallen asleep, and I didn't intend to wake him up, so I leaned aside and fell asleep.

However, as soon as the next day dawned, there was a noise in the village.

Liu Shan and I woke up at the same time, and as soon as we left the room, we saw Uncle Xu was about to go out.

Liu Shan quickly asked, "Uncle Xu, what happened?"

As Xu Bo walked out, he said, "I'm back."

"One of the two old guys who went there last night is back!"

Seeing this, Liu Shan and I quickly followed.

It was the same place as before, but it was already full of people.

An old man was counting a stack of money in his hand, and his face seemed to be full of joy.

And the middle-aged Boss Zhang also took out another wad of money at this time and said, "You have also seen that the priest did not lie to you yesterday."

"There's nothing weird about the mountains."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

"You should believe what he said, right?"

Seeing Boss Zhang pointing at himself, the old man who was counting the money said cheerfully, "Boss Zhang is right."

"There is really nothing weird on the mountain."

"It's just that the baby is not easy to find."

"The old guy Xu Daniu and I searched for almost a whole night after we went up the mountain before we found one thing in the house alone."

"What about Xu Daniu?" Xu Bo asked through the crowd.

The old man who counted the money shook his head and said: "He was still with me when I found the treasure, and he didn't know where he went when he was about to come back. Maybe he felt that it would be a disadvantage to give the things to Boss Zhang, so he secretly wanted to go to the city to get the things. Have you sold it?"

Speaking of this, the old man counting money said again: "He doesn't even think about it, how far is it from here to the city?"

"And we don't know where these treasures are worth. Even if they can be sold in the city, it's unlikely that Boss Zhang will give them much."

Hearing this, Boss Zhang laughed and said, "It's better for you to figure it out."

"Anyway, I still say that, if anyone wants to go up the mountain to find the baby, just come and tell me."

"One piece costs 1000 yuan."

"The more you find, the more money!"

"I!"

"I go!"

"I……"

After Boss Zhang finished speaking, it took only a while for four or five people to stand up. There were men and women, and they were all middle-aged.

Boss Zhang didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave each of them 100 yuan.

At this time, the old man who had finished counting the money said again: "But I still want to remind you, old man."

"Although there is no danger on the mountain, there are some evil ways."

"Old man, I almost couldn't find my way up there several times."

Hearing this, there were still a few people who were going to come out, so they put their feet back. Seeing this, Boss Zhang smiled wryly and said, "You have already taken all the money, so why are you still doing more harm than good?"

The old man glanced at Boss Zhang and said, "Then I have to tell them the truth?"

"In case anything happens in time, it's all on my head."

After speaking, the old man hummed a tune and left the crowd.

Boss Zhang gave a wry smile, had no choice but to look at the crowd again and said, "What the old man said makes sense."

"But everyone saw it too."

"There must be no danger in the mountains, otherwise the old man wouldn't be able to come back, right?"

"Again."

"1000 yuan!"

"I'll go too." At this moment, Uncle Xu came out.

Seeing Uncle Xu walking out from the crowd, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Liu Shan pulled me along and shouted, "We're going too."

But Liu Shan's words immediately attracted a lot of attention. Tanhua Village is not very big, and there are not too many people. It is estimated that there are only a few hundred people, so everyone can tell at a glance that we are not from the village. people.

Soon, one of the few people who said they were going at the beginning said, "This is about our village, and you are not from our village, what are you messing with?"

"Yes."

"Even if there are treasures on the mountain, they belong to our village. If you go up, don't you want to grab the treasures from us?"

Liu Shan waved his hands quickly and said, "Don't get me wrong."

"We've already told the village chief about this, and we just want to go up and have a look. Even if we do find the treasure, we don't want any money, and we will hand it over to the village chief."

"We are just curious about the old house."

"Who knows if what you said is true, what if you find the baby and run away?" Someone questioned.

Liu Shan pointed to the entrance of the village.

"My car is parked just outside the village."

"If I don't come back, the car will have to stay here. It can't be bought for 1000 yuan."

"Besides, isn't the village head going too?"

Liu Shan looked at Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu hesitated for a while, looked at the people in the village and said, "Now there are only a few people in our village who are willing to go up the mountain to have a look."

"Although the treasures in the mountains are hard to find, there should be quite a few."

"Just let them go."

"With me watching, there won't be any problem."

"If they really find some treasure, the money they get will be shared among the big guys."

Hearing what Uncle Xu said, those who still had opinions did not refuse any more.

I looked at Liu Shan and couldn't help but admire him.

If I was alone, if they didn't let me go up the mountain, I probably wouldn't go.

At this time, Boss Zhang asked the crowd again: "Is there anyone else who wants to go up the mountain to find the baby?"

"If not, I'll go back first."

Those who haven't made up their minds are looking at each other, and obviously no one has made up their minds.

After a while, someone said: "Let's wait for them to go and have a look."

This time, Boss Zhang didn’t try to persuade him any more, but pointed to us who were going up the mountain and said, “That’s all you guys. Find me."

"money is not a problem!"

After finishing speaking, Boss Zhang turned around and left.

The crowd also dispersed.

After everyone left, Bo Xu looked at me and Liu Shan and said, "You can wait a little longer, there is no need to rush up the mountain."
