Chapter 180 The Fifth Curse of Wraiths

Chen Mengsheng's exclamation brought everyone in the room over, and lay quietly on a palm-sized black cloth bag under the bluestone slab under the table.I saw a lucky word embroidered with gold thread on the black cloth bag. Chen Mengsheng picked up the cloth bag and felt that it was heavy in his hands, weighing two catties. He tore off the string on the cloth bag and poured it in his hand.A handful of golden beans rolled out of the cloth bag.Chen Mengsheng supported the golden beans and said, "Brother, these golden beans are so strange, they should be smelted by yourself, right?"

Xiang Xiaotian took the golden beans from Chen Mengsheng's hand, looked at them for a while, and said, "Let me tell you, this town is full of rich people, have you seen that, the gold is buried in the ground, and every day can make a lot of money. But I have only heard that there is gold sand in the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but I have never seen gold diggers here.”

Shangguan Yanran tilted her head and tried her best to hide the dark spots on her face, she said to Xiang Xiaotian in a puzzled way: "Brother Xiang, couldn't the owner of this family get the money from fishing and selling these golden beans?"

"Girl, ask your senior brother, he has bought fish by the Qiantang River for several years, and it would take several lifetimes to sell so much gold. Besides, this place is remote, so you want to sell fish? Boating to Qing'an Mansion is going to a big place like Huizhou where there are big buyers. It will take you several days to get there, and the cost of planing the road is at most half. I want to save two catties. Heavy gold, unless the family belongs to bastards, can live for a thousand years." Xiang Xiaotian said teasingly.

Qi Ying pointed at the golden beans and said in surprise: "I have lived so long, this is the first time I have seen so much gold. You can even be regarded as a small rich family in Huizhou." Qi Ying lived in poverty since childhood. The golden beans really opened her eyes.

Xiang Xiaotian hurriedly stuffed the golden beans into Qi Ying's hands and said with regret: "This good gold has been melted and ruined, and the black ink has so many impurities. Miss Xianglan, if you can refine and purify these golden beans That's a lot of money."

After Yao Rengui's incident, Lihua didn't dare to talk to Chen Mengsheng and the others.Watching over Yao Rengui and the two little girls without saying a word, Chen Mengsheng saw Lihua and the others hesitate.He said gently: "Miss Ewha, you and brother Yao are so affectionate and envious of others. What Brother Yao did was also cursed by resentment and it was not his intention. Miss Ewha, please don't worry about it anymore. Everyone The most important thing is to work together to break the curse, and the owner of this room must have been killed too. Brother Yao, you should keep these golden beans to live with them in the future." Yao Rengui refused in all possible ways and dared not accept Chen Mengsheng In the end, Xiang Xiaotian divided the golden beans equally among the three girls, Zhuzhu Xiaotong and Qi Ying, as a dowry for their future marriages.

Shangguan Yanran was in a much better mood after Xiang Xiaotian made such a fuss. Although her face was dark like ink, she could force a smile and said: "Sister Xianglan, Brother Xiang still saved a lot of money when he was in Yangzhou Mansion. What about the few gold leaves! You have to take good care of them in the future, so as to save him from doing bad things when he has money."

"What does his gold leaf care about me? I'm not his wife..." Qi Ying blurted out, and immediately stopped the conversation abruptly, even if there were dark spots on her face, it was difficult to see whether she was blushing or not. Yes, anyway, the neck is all red.

Everyone in the room was amused by Shangguan Yanran's teasing and teasing Qi Ying, and the atmosphere that had been gloomy for a long time finally eased a bit.But at this moment, an old woman staggered past the river, leaning on crutches and shouting loudly: "Everyone must die, everyone must die. The Dragon King sent heavenly soldiers here, and the gods cast a curse on Gourd Town. Do evil, do evil. Ah, everyone has to die, everyone has to die..."

Chen Mengsheng rushed out when he heard the old woman's cry, and Xiang Xiaotian followed closely behind.The people in the room also looked at each other in blank dismay, they dared not go out to meet people due to the unsightly dark spots on their faces, and the five of them were eager to stare at the screaming old woman at the window...

"Grandma, what do you mean by shouting? What crime?" Chen Mengsheng asked.

The old woman picked up the crutch in her hand and beat Chen Mengsheng down, shouting excitedly: "Everyone must die, everyone must die. So many people in the town have died, why didn't you beat the third child to death?" !" In a rage, the old woman swung the crutches and beat Chen Mengsheng several times. Xiang Xiaotian just wanted to snatch the old woman's crutches from him, but he saw the old woman's eyelids were sunken, leaving only two black wrinkles in the eye sockets. .Xiang Xiaotian couldn't do anything to this blind old woman for a while, he looked helplessly at the beaten Chen Mengsheng and didn't know what to do...

Chen Mengsheng was protected by green bamboo armor. The blind old woman's blows couldn't hurt him at all. He asked loudly, "What's wrong with Kuro San? Why do you want him to die?"

The old woman was tired from the beating, and the crutch in her hand broke, panting heavily and screaming, "It's you...it's the gods you attracted that cursed Calabash Town, and this is the punishment of the Dragon Lord on us!  … ..." The old woman's yelling attracted two middle-aged men in their forties from a house not far from the river.

The two went straight to the old woman, kicked the old woman to the ground in front of Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian.He scolded uncleanly: "Why did you sneak out again, you crazy woman? You are not afraid of being laughed at if you talk nonsense. If you dare to slander the third child, be careful that we will tear down your old bones." !” The two picked up the old woman and started to leave.

Chen Mengsheng shouted: "Stop it, what are you doing? What kind of thing is it to bully an old man, let her go."

Seeing that there were no dark spots on Chen Mengsheng's face, the two of them were stunned, dragged the old woman and shouted at Chen Mengsheng: "You foreigners, you don't need to take care of the affairs here, get out of Hulu Town, or you won't blame me for treating you You're welcome." The yelling of the middle-aged man caused many townspeople living nearby to lean on their doors and windows to watch, but no one dared to speak out.

Xiang Xiaotian said furiously: "What's the matter if we are foreigners? If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and everything is based on a word of reason. Looking at your virtues, you know it's not a good thing. Those who dare to tell our brothers to go, don't give up. Didn't come out of the mother's womb." Xiang Xiaotian held the wrists of the two middle-aged men with a pair of iron tongs as he spoke, and they were forced to let go of the old woman's hand.The two middle-aged men gritted their teeth, and the pain was that they were lying on the ground and couldn't get up.Xiang Xiaotian didn't expect these two guys to be so pusty, he spat on the ground and threw them aside.

At this time, a young man ran out of the town, out of breath, and ran to the old woman.Supporting the old woman, she saluted the two middle-aged people repeatedly: "Mother, mother, why did you run out again? Uncle Da, Uncle Gui, my mother is sick, so you should let her go." Chen Mengsheng took a look. It was the young man who played the drums in Calabash Town last night, and he seemed to be called Xiao Qingzi by Kukuo.

As soon as the two middle-aged men saw him, they said fiercely: "Little Qingzi, how did you take care of your mother? Why did you let her run out again? I'm warning you that it's not Uncle Da, I won't give you face, is it?" Your mother is crazy and crazy, and she talks crazy things every day. You take your mother back and watch carefully. If she dares to talk nonsense next time, our brothers will really lock her up. By then Don't blame us for not thinking of the kindness of our fellow villagers."

Xiao Qingzi seemed to be very afraid of these two middle-aged men, he helped the old woman up and walked back.The old woman kept shouting her two words: "Everyone must die, retribution is coming. Everyone must die, the Dragon Lord has cast a curse..., everyone must die, retribution is coming. Everyone must die, Dragon King The prince has cast a curse..." The cry changed into a heart-piercing and erratic sound as Xiao Qingzi took her away.

The two middle-aged men dusted off the dirt on their bodies and were about to leave, when Chen Mengsheng shouted: "Wait a minute, do you want to leave without making it clear? Why did the old man say that this town was cursed by the gods? You don't want to leave until the matter is clarified." The two middle-aged men glanced at each other, and Chen Mengsheng could see the black ringworm on their faces twitching sharply.

"Have you all become deaf? Do you think my brother is farting? Say it! I don't have the heart of a Buddha like my brother. If you don't say anything, I will let you taste my fist." Xiang Xiaotian stared at them Shouted sharply, clenched a pair of iron fists, looking like a wrathful King Kong made people terrified.The two middle-aged men looked at Xiang Xiaotian timidly, their eyes full of fear.

"Uncle... Uncle, how can you take the words of the crazy lady seriously. We are all law-abiding people in Hulu Town, you...you have also seen that people in Hulu Town are panicking now, you should hurry up, sir Mind your business here."

"You old man talks so much nonsense, there is not a single useful word. Wow, I am so mad! If you don't give me some color, do you really think I am scaring you?" Xiang Xiaotian's face was ashen. He stomped his feet vigorously on a bluestone slab on the ground, and the bluestone made a dull sound and cracked a crack.

"Grandpa... grandpa, grandpa... don't get angry, sir, he won't say it... I will say it. Everyone in Hulu Town has the surname Kuro, and it's the murderous strange fish that killed people in the town a few months ago. Misfortunes abounded, so Kuro San asked someone to come to the town to see Fengshui. Unexpectedly... the Fengshui master said four sentences, the spirit fish died, and the dragon king was angry. When the name of Kuro is destroyed, the beginning is the end. Alas!"

Chen Mengsheng frowned and said, "Where is the third son you mentioned now? Take me to see him!"

"My lord, this... I can't do this. The third child is dead. The house behind you is where he lives. Where do you want me to take you to find him? His graveyard It's right behind that house, if you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Chen Mengsheng looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man, and the house he pointed to was the place where the group spent the night last night.

Chen Mengsheng asked: "How did Kuro San die? You explain this clearly to me. Why did the old man say that Kuro San caused the curse?"

"Grandpa, my name is Zuda, he is my brother, and his name is Zougui, and the third Tibetan is called Zouji. In the early years, he followed a church called Bailianzong, but he didn't know how he came back. Our brothers It was pitiful to see him alone, so we took him to fish and do business together, and sometimes sold the fish in the town to Anqing Mansion. After a long time, we became friends with Zuoji, and everyone in the town called him Kuro The third child. Just half a year ago, when he couldn’t catch any fish, that boy followed Uncle Kujiu’s son to go up and down the seine net. Unexpectedly, the strange fish came out of the water and knocked him into the water. So many people were killed The strange fish was killed, we thought he would be in danger, but after two days he came back..."

"Ah, big brother, don't say any more..." Kuo Tatsu said that Kuo Katsura who was next to him suddenly screamed as if he saw a ghost, and trembled all over his body.
