The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 169 Meeting the Joyful Meeting (3)

Ji Mingmei and I exchanged glances, both hesitated.This person first covered Zhuo Yue's escape, and now he wants to take us to find him. His motives are unknown, and he has no distinction between good and evil for us. It is actually a bit risky to follow him into the mountain rashly.But after hesitating for a moment, I followed.

Ji Mingmei followed me and said in a low voice: "This man is a bit weird. Although we have to follow him if we want to find Zhuo Yue, we still need to be careful. If anything goes wrong later, we will take the initiative to subdue him. "

I nodded, deeply convinced.We followed the man all the way out of the town and into the mountains.Although he said that he would answer our questions while walking, he didn't say a word along the way.We asked him many questions, but he just nodded or shrugged his shoulders. In fact, he didn't answer us a word, but told us that his name was Zhou Xunshan.

Seeing that the road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and the mountains and forests are getting denser and denser.It was already afternoon when we set off, and we had walked the mountain road for more than an hour at this time, and the sky was no longer bright, and it would be dark in only two or three hours.At that time, in the deep mountains and old forests, in the dead of night, what will happen will be completely out of our control.

So we couldn't hold our breath anymore, so we stood behind him and shouted, "Hey, where are you taking us?"

Zhou Xunshan turned around and said in his characteristic jerky voice, "Why, are you afraid?"

He hadn't spoken for more than twenty years. Even though we had heard a lot from him at this time, we still found it strange.I have an illusion, it seems that this voice is not made by him, but the voice has been hidden in his throat for 20 years, and with his own consciousness, he can express independently without his shackles.

The voice said bluntly: "Are you afraid?"

These words are too straightforward, so Ji Mingmei and I were both stunned for a moment, and then I covered up: "What are we afraid of?"

"You are not scary, I am scary." Zhou Xunshan laughed for no reason, turned his head and muttered, "It will be dark soon, deep in the mountains and old forests, if you find a place to put you all down, just dig a hole on the spot Buried, it will be at least 30 or [-] years before someone finds out."

He said, lest we think these words were not scary enough, he sighed again, "The dark moon kills the night, the wind is high and the sky is set on fire. This place has beautiful scenery, and it is good for burying corpses."

"Hehe." Ji Mingmei was scared, but she laughed dryly, "Since you like it so much, then we won't rob you. If you are buried here, a big flower will surely bloom on the grave."

"At that time, I will pick flowers and give them to you." Zhou Xunshan said with a smile.

The words became more terrifying, Ji Mingmei was speechless for a moment, so she took the first step to go ahead of him, and I followed closely behind, leaving Zhou Xunshan behind alone.Unexpectedly, after we had walked a few steps, Ji Mingmei, who was at the front, let out a scream, and fell forward, as if her feet were empty, and she fell into a big pit.

I was caught off guard when I followed her. Although my reaction was not too slow, I only had time to grab her back collar, but I was not prepared for the force, and I was immediately thrown into it by her.Fortunately, the bottom of the pit is soft soil. Although we planted it upside down, we were not injured.

Ji Mingmei fell in before me, so I fell on top of her.She yelled "Ouch" and said in a daze, "Brother Xiushu, why do I feel like I'm staring at gold stars? Ah, a lot of gold, this fall is worth it, don't wake me up , let the gold fly for a while."

I didn't wake her up because I didn't want to be woken up myself.After waiting for quite a while, we finally woke up. Ji Mingmei shivered and said to me, "Why are we dreaming before it's dark?"

I also trembled a little, swallowed and said, "No...it's not a dream!"

"Impossible!" Ji Mingmei exclaimed, "If it wasn't a dream, how could there be so many 'big yellow croakers'?"

The so-called "big yellow croaker" is the folk name for big gold bars.Gold bars with a weight of twelve are "big yellow croakers", while those with a weight of one or two are "small yellow croakers".

As Ji Mingmei spoke, she raised a hand towards me. In her hand, a "big yellow croaker" was looking at us with contempt—like a princess in distress, full of grievances because of the secret of the pearl.It fell into the hands of the two of us who were so poor that we were trembling, let alone it itself, we were all unwilling to do it for it.

But the question is, why did it fall into our hands?
There is not only one "big yellow croaker" in this pit, scattered everywhere, half hidden in the soil, and there is a box next to it, which is probably used to hold these big yellow croakers.Antiques and gold in prosperous times and troubled times, the current world is not good, everyone is rushing to gold, a "big yellow croaker" is enough to buy a big house in the provincial capital.

And the "big yellow croakers" in this pit can be seen at a glance, there are as many as a hundred, which is already considered a shocking fortune.And such a shocking amount of property was found in a pit in a barren mountain after we accidentally fell!
Although it is true that the pie fell from the sky, but the pie fell into the trap, which makes people feel a little panicked.Ji Mingmei and I calmed down at this moment, we were both a little shocked, we looked up at the top of the pit at the same time.Zhou Xunshan poked his head out from above, glanced at the "big yellow croaker" in Ji Mingmei's hand, seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yo, you two are getting rich."

"Thank you." Ji Mingmei replied, and threw the "big yellow croaker" out of the pit and landed at the foot of Zhou Xun Mountain. "Can you pull us out of the pit? The thing at the bottom of the pit The three of us split equally."

Although I looked at Zhou Xunshan eagerly on the surface, I felt chills in my heart.Money touches people's hearts, even if ordinary people will not be overjoyed when they see such a fortune, at least it will take a long time to come back to their senses, how can they just be stunned for a moment like him.

What does this mean?It shows that he didn't pay attention to these things at all, and then thought that this road was deserted at all, but he led us all the way in.From the above two points, we can basically be sure that the reason why we fell into this pit is because of Zhou Xunshan's deliberate actions.

All the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is all for profit.No matter what the purpose is, he will use such a sum of property to achieve the purpose, which shows that the purpose is not trivial.Ji Mingmei wanted to understand the key to this, so she tested him with words, hoping that he would rescue us from the pit first.

But Zhou Xunshan obviously had no intention of rescuing us, he just leaned over to look at us for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You guys are so stupid, you want to share such a large sum of money with others?"

"So much money, neither of us will be able to spend it all in our next lives." Ji Mingmei is still testing him, "Money can only be called money if it is spent, and it will only add trouble to people if it cannot be spent. So ah , we are naturally not as happy alone as we are together."

"Oh." Zhou Xunshan rubbed his chin with his hand, but still evaded, "But, this hole seems to be dug by hunters to hunt large beasts. How can I rescue you in such a hurry?"

If the few conversations in the pit and outside the pit are overheard by outsiders, their jaws will drop in shock.Because in the face of these hundred and ten "big yellow croakers", one party is trying to persuade the other party to accept it, while the other party shirks it like seeing a ghost.I think, probably the wind that blows in the deep mountains and dense forests is all insane, that's why this kind of thing happened.

After hearing Zhou Xunshan's words, I couldn't help turning my head to look at Ji Mingmei, wondering if she was a big beast.Ji Mingmei probably saw through my thoughts, she grinned at me, her nose wrinkled.As for Zhou Xunshan on the pit, the blind man could tell that there was something wrong with him.

"You guys wait, I'll call someone." Zhou Xunshan said, picked up the "big yellow croaker" under his feet and threw it back into the pit, then left by himself.When we saw this, we were in a hurry, because it was going to be dark soon, and this was a wilderness, so people couldn't be called, but ghosts might be able to call a few.

We called him one after another in the pit, but Zhou Xunshan didn't care about it, and as the footsteps faded away, we closed our mouths dejectedly.Since he had already left and we couldn't get out, we dug out the "big yellow croakers" one by one from the soil.And in the process of digging, we are more and more surprised.

Because the more we dug down, the wetter the ground became, as if the bottom of the pit was really a puddle.And these "big yellow croakers" also appeared in the soil with an upward posture.This scene looks like these "big yellow croakers" are really one by one fish. They swim out from the deep bottom of the puddle, but the water in the puddle suddenly dries up, so these "fish" are half buried in the bottom of the puddle. Bottom.

It's impossible, of course, but it looks too much like it.Ji Mingmei and I were stunned for a while, and then I said to her: "The 'big yellow croakers' here add up to thousands of taels. It is impossible for ordinary people to have so much gold in their homes. Tell me, where did Zhou Xunshan come from?" Did you get it?"

Ji Mingmei shivered, bit her lip and said, "Tell me, how can you spend so much money all at once?"

God is sorry, I have spent a copper dollar all this way, and it is like a piece of flesh and blood. Now she asks me how to spend the 1000 taels of gold at once.So I opened my mouth wide and thought for a long time, then replied: "Find a roof to hide, and hit anyone who passes by with it?"

Ji Mingmei also stared at me blankly, then fell into deep thought, and said to me after a while: "I have a suggestion."

"Tell me." I thought she had some tricks up her sleeve, so I hurriedly responded.Unexpectedly, Ji Mingmei opened her mouth and said, "I will take care of your future money."

When she said this suddenly, I almost choked on her, and after thinking for a long time, I realized that she was not satisfied with my answer just now.I was about to explain a few words to her, but she shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, don't talk, I don't want to listen to someone who can come up with such a way to spend money."

After hearing what she said, I immediately wept, feeling that I had been greatly hurt.Ji Mingmei ignored me, and then said, "Such a large sum of money is used for personal use, unless it is used to smash people as you said, otherwise it can't be spent. But what if it is not used for personal use?"

"You mean, what might this money be for?" I was suddenly enlightened by what she said, and asked hastily.

"It turns out that Zhou Xunshan is so rich!" Before Ji Mingmei could answer, a sentence came from above the pit, and a face appeared on the pit.

We suddenly heard someone talking and thought it was Zhou Xunshan who had returned.Unexpectedly, after looking carefully, we found that the owner of this face was actually a woman, and she was also a woman we knew—it was Wang Honger, the woman we met at Zhou Xunshan's home.

Didn't she take Zhou Xunshan's clothes back to wash? Why did she appear here?Ji Mingmei and I looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the complexity of this was far beyond our imagination.Zhou Xunshan has been lukewarm towards Wang Honger these years, and it turns out there is a reason for this.

Obviously, Wang Honger followed us all the way.Therefore, she knew that Zhou Xunshan had such a huge amount of property, and she had been trying to get close to Zhou Xunshan all these years, maybe it was for this reason!

But why did Zhou Xunshan keep his face for so many years, but revealed this gold after we appeared?Could it be true what he said, he has been waiting for us all these years.In this way, doesn't this sum of gold have a lot to do with us?

"Do you know that the money belongs to Zhou Xunshan? He left just now. Since you're here, you must have seen it." Ji Mingmei and I tried our best to put down the tone.With such a sum of money suddenly appearing in front of your eyes, it is hard to say what the people who see it will do.We are at the bottom of the pit right now, so we can only talk to her in a calm tone as much as possible.
