strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 2 [Unexpected Money]

The night watchman has five disadvantages and three deficiencies, widows, widows, loneliness, and disability, and lacks the right to wealth and life.

During the daytime, they are ignorant, or suffer cold stares, or are teased by others, but they are calm and calm, always smiling at others.

At night, he guarded the village with a dilapidated mahogany sword in his hand, stared into the darkness, and sternly shouted: "With me here to watch the night, ghosts and ghosts don't want to step into the village for half a step. If they dare to step in, they will not be spared. Although I Incomplete and powerless, nothing more than fighting for life..."

Although I am incomplete and weak, I am fighting with my life.

They don't have the ability to subdue demons, they just guard with their own lives.

Very tragic, very great!
This rhetoric made people feel excited, and wished they could become a great village guard right away.

But Zhang Jingxu couldn't help being suspicious. He felt that the rhetoric was probably intended to confuse, deliberately portray the tragic and heroic village guards, and deceive the passionate people to pay for nothing.

Just like now, Zhang Jingxu is holding a mahogany sword, the blade looks tattered, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any power.

"If this thing can also slay demons and monsters, it seems a bit too inferior."

Although he had doubts in his heart, he agreed to Fourth Grandpa after all, so when the night was dark, he walked out of the house without hesitation.

After going out, he walked aimlessly in the village.

I don't know if it's because of the early autumn, or because of the heavy humidity at night, a layer of mist rises outside, covering the quiet small village.

Zhangjia Village is not big, with a total of about [-] households. In this day and age, the poor are poor, and they are reluctant to light lamps at night, so they are used to going to bed early, and there is no sound of people everywhere.

But it was strange to say that Zhang Jingxu only heard voices after walking around for a while.

It was the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by a rather excited conversation.

"Is there someone chatting in the middle of the night? Are you free?"

Zhang Jingxu frowned, and chased after him with a mahogany sword in his hand.

After walking not far, I caught up with the person chatting and found that it was two young men walking out of the village with excited faces.

Zhang Jingxu frowned again, and couldn't help asking loudly: "Stop, what are you doing? You two boys don't sleep at home, what are you going to do outside the village in the middle of the night?"

Ancient villages are different from modern ones. There are stone walls all around the village, not only to prevent wild animals at night, but also to prevent bandits from attacking.

Although the stone wall is not tall enough, it can resist danger, so under normal circumstances, the villagers will not leave the village at night.

These two boys ran out in the middle of the night, how could it not arouse Zhang Jingxu's suspicion.

Holding the mahogany sword, he stopped drinking, and his voice was very loud in the quiet night. The two boys were obviously startled, and each of them trembled vaguely.

Immediately, the two boys seemed to recognize Zhang Jingxu, they let out a long breath, and greeted with a giggle: "So it's Uncle Zhang, you almost scared us to death."

Zhang Jingxu stepped forward, stared at the two boys and looked again and again, for some reason, a chill came down her spine.

The reason is simple, he only knew one of the guys.

This young man is called Zhang San. During the day, he went to smash the door of his house. At that time, Zhang Jingxu took a look through the crack of the door, so he remembered this young man's appearance.

But the other boy, Zhang Jingxu, didn't have the slightest impression.

It is said that there are only seven young guys in the twenty or so families in the village, and all the seven guys have been to Zhang Jingxu's house today, so Zhang Jingxu can at least be familiar with them.

However, this other young man felt very strange to Zhang Jingxu.

Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath, and quietly clenched the palm of the hand holding the mahogany sword, but he was tight on the inside and loose on the outside, and his tone was deliberately gentle: "What are you two doing? You don't sleep in the middle of the night. "

"Hey!" The two boys smiled mysteriously.

Among them, Zhang San kept winking, as if hinting something to another guy.

The other guy was obviously hesitant, and finally nodded as if making up his mind: "Since Uncle Zhang met him, then he should share."

So the two boys laughed together, and mysteriously lowered their voices and said, "Uncle Zhang, we are going to make a fortune, so you come along and share with you."

Get rich?

Give me a share for no reason?
Are people so honest in this era?

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved, and he was a little suspicious.

His face remained unchanged, and he pretended to ask casually: "There is such a good thing? Are you two boys willing?"

"There's nothing to be reluctant about..."

Zhang Sanxian was very proud, and said carelessly: "Anyway, it's not a big fortune, and the total is just a lot of money. Uncle Zhang, you are an elder, and you should have your share when you meet."

"Hahaha, good!" Zhang Jingxu laughed loudly, and deliberately praised: "The third nephew Zhang is very good, and he respects the elders."

While praising Zhang San, he glanced at the other young man, as if he had just remembered something, and asked again 'casually': "Which family do you belong to, uncle? Why do I look strange to you, uncle? Today during the day , it seems that you have never been to my house."

Unexpectedly, before the young man answered, Zhang San has already rushed to open his mouth, and said carelessly: "Uncle Zhang, why don't you even know Zhang Gui? His family lives in the west of the village, and there is a blind old lady in his family." ..."

"Is it?"

Zhang Jingxu's eyes flickered, but there was no abnormality in his complexion. He just nodded with a smile and said, "So it's Zhang Gui who lives in the west of the village. No wonder I look a little strange."

The other young man smiled 'shyly' and called out honestly: "Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Jingxu agreed with kindness.

At this time, Zhang San seemed to be a little impatient, and stood aside and kept urging: "Come on, let's get rich quickly, dig out the money in the dark, and then the three of us will share it equally..."

The other boy, Zhang Gui, was still shy, and followed suit: "Yeah, I dug out a consistent amount of money, and the three of you will share it."

Zhang Jingxu acted very 'happy', laughed and said: "It's hard for you two boys, I have good things to think about uncle."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the three of them walked out along the village path.

Soon, the stone wall by the village was already in sight.

Once out of this stone wall, the outside is a deep wilderness.

Zhang Jingxu suddenly asked with no difference: "When did the two of you discover the consistent money? Why didn't you dig it during the day?"

Zhang San immediately interjected and explained: "What if the village sees you digging during the day? Once someone sees it, he will get a share."

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, and asked ambiguously: "That is to say, you don't dig during the day because you are afraid that others will share the money, right?"

"Yes?" Zhang San nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Jingxu also nodded and said nothing.

But there was an unspoken sentence hidden in my heart: "Since I am afraid that others will share it with me, I will share it with me after seeing me... Is my popularity so good?"

The palm of his hand holding the mahogany sword tightened again.

At this time, they had just reached the stone wall at the edge of the village. Zhang San and Zhang Gui climbed over excitedly. Zhang Jingxu pondered for a while, and finally climbed along with him.

Beyond the stone wall, the fog seemed to thicken.

Zhang San was extremely excited, and kept saying: "I really want to thank Zhang Gui, he found out about the money, but he didn't steal it all by himself, but told me quietly in the dark."

Zhang Gui continued to be 'shy', and said straightforwardly: "They are all from the same village, and they must make a fortune together."

Zhang Jingxu watched coldly, pretending to be casual and asked: "You said he told you in the dark? Did he just tell you tonight?"

After Zhang San asked this question, he seemed to be stunned.

The guy's face was a little confused, and he murmured: "Yeah, he told me tonight... Hey, it doesn't seem to be just tonight, it seems that he also came to me before and told me that there is a place outside the village where Yiguanqian is buried. "

Turning his head in confusion, he looked at Zhang Gui and asked, "Why do I feel so familiar? Did you really tell me before?"

Zhang Gui quickly shook his head: "No, no, I just found out about the consistent money today."

Zhang San's expression became more confused, but his tone became very trusting: "Yes, you just found out today."

Zhang Jingxu had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two of them.

……

The three of them walked forward in the thick fog, and gradually saw a lonely forest.

Not long after, under a big tree in the forest, two young men excavated excitedly and dug a hole extremely smoothly.

There is a consistent copper coin lying quietly in the pit.

"Haha, money is really buried!"

Zhang San's face was full of excitement, and his face was flushed strangely.

Another guy, Zhang Gui, seemed to be very excited at this time, and kept urging: "Take it, take it out, share it, the three of us, share this money together...Take it, take it quickly."

Hearing the urging, Zhang San stretched out his hand involuntarily, his face flushed even more, as if he had made a fortune.

However, at this moment, Zhang Jingxu suddenly said: "After taking this money, it is a windfall. Uncle, I want to ask, how are you going to spend it?"

How are you going to spend it?
Zhang San seemed to be slightly taken aback, his face flushed strangely, and he was a little sober, hehe silly: "I... I... I save, marry a wife."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, turned to another young man Zhang Gui, and asked, "What about you?"

Zhang Gui's face was full of longing for happiness: "I'll take it to a doctor to show my mother's eyes. My mother has been blind for a long time, and I hope she can see me again."

"True filial piety!" Zhang Jingxu gave a thumbs up and praised: "A person who understands filial piety will not have a bad mind."

Zhang Gui seemed ashamed of being praised, lowered his head and said, "Thank you uncle for the compliment."

Suddenly he began to urge again, saying: "Take out the money quickly, and share it with everyone. Take it, take it quickly!"

After he urged again, Zhang San, the guy next to him, couldn't help but stretched out his hand again.

However, at this moment, Zhang Jingxu also stretched out his hand suddenly.

It's just that he didn't go to get the money, but dragged Zhang San back.

Looking at Zhang Gui, he said with a smile: "After all, this is the money you found, and it should belong to you. Uncle, I don't want to take advantage of the younger generation, and I don't allow Zhang San to take advantage of you... I will give you all the usual money." Treat your mother, okay?"

"No!"

Zhang Gui suddenly roared violently, his simple and honest face suddenly grim: "Take it, you take it!"

"This is money, this is money!"

"Don't you want money? Don't you like being rich?"

Looking at his ferocious face and the eagerness in his eyes, in the quiet and dark night, the mist began to billow.

However, Zhang Jingxu's face was calm, and he just said indifferently: "No one doesn't like money, and no one doesn't like getting rich. If there are people in the village who find unexpected wealth and are willing to share it with us, then, uncle Definitely happy..."

"But you are not from the village."

Zhang Jingxu suddenly raised the mahogany sword, looked up to the sky and let out a stern shout: "Although I have been stupid for 35 years, uncle, I have seen the whole village after I woke up. There are 22 households in Zhangjia Village, and only the fourth grandpa is blind... ..."

"And at the west end of the village, there is obviously only one grave. Then tell me, where did your blind mother live there?"
