Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 673: Little monster
Ji Yuan was lying on the big flat stone and looking at the stars in the sky. In the corner of his eye, the little paper crane had already flown out of sight. This little guy had excellent hiding skills, a very clever mind, and a unique sense of spirituality. Ji Yuan is not worried about anything.
The stars in my eyes were bright, and slowly became blurry again. This was clouds, which gradually blocked the starry sky. In the second half of the night, thin snow began to fall. It should be the last few snows in early spring.
In this environment, Ji Yuan actually felt a little sleepy, so he made the sky a quilt and the ground as a mat, and then fell asleep with his arms pillowed on his side, keeping the golden armor under the stone intact. Sitting posture, his back straight, his eyes looking straight ahead without anger, as if no matter the wind or snow could affect him in the slightest.
On the other side, of course, the little paper crane is flying to Nandao County. People are the best objects to observe, and what the little paper crane likes to observe the most, especially in places where people gather together, there are always interesting things to see. .
Nandao County has always been regarded as one of the few relatively prosperous cities within a radius of several hundred miles. Although this is only a relative term, it does look like a city after all.
It is late at night at this moment, and all the ordinary people in Nandao County have already been underwater, but this does not mean that Nandao County has become silent. On the contrary, no matter where there are large groups of people living together, there will always be activities. In a corner outside ordinary people's daily routine.
To the south of the county town, there is a relatively large house near the middle of the southern city wall, surrounded by a courtyard wall, several houses, and even a special ancestral hall.
Although there are no lights in the house at this moment, in fact, the family members did not sleep tonight. They were all lying on the bed and just took off their coats. At this time, they also sat up from the bed, put on their coats and went out. Door.
At almost the same time, people in several rooms came out.
The stars were shining brightly in the first half of the night, but it was already cloudy in the second half of the night, and it started to snow gradually. The visibility outside was not very good. A few people came to the ancestral hall in the dark, and when everyone came in, the last person Quickly and gently close the door of the ancestral hall.
"Quick, hold the lamp."
"Hey!"
A young man took out the fire stick he brought, blew it a few times to produce sparks, and then lit the candle on a candlestick in the ancestral hall. Suddenly, the entire place in the ancestral hall was illuminated by candlelight, because the ancestral hall was closed and had no windows. , so there is almost no light visible outside, only a little light shines through the cracks in the door and tiles.
"Come on, go to the back."
The person who gave the order was a strong old man in his sixties or seventies. He led a few people around to the back of the memorial wall of the ancestral hall. Then he took a shovel nearby, shoveled it into a gap in the ground, and inserted it into the gap. With one pressure, an entire piece of hard wood came loose.
"Come here and help!"
The old man squatted down with another middle-aged man, grabbing both sides of the hard board. After a while of "one, two, three", he moved the heavy hard board to one side.
As the hard boards were moved away, a large black hole appeared in front of their eyes. The young man holding the candlestick looked inside and could see that it was a long and narrow tunnel.
"Dong dong..."
"Hey, the ones inside can come up now!"
The old man knocked twice on the stone on the tunnel wall with a shovel. The sound spread far into the depths of the tunnel. Not long after, there was a sound of strings coming from below, including the sound of dragging heavy objects and the slightest sound. footsteps.
Under the illumination of the candlelight in the ancestral hall, the first thing that appeared at the entrance of the cave was a medium-sized wooden box one arm wide, and there was a sound coming from below.
"Hand in hand, hand in hand, it's so heavy!"
"Quick, rope and stick."
The old man on one side quickly ordered the others, and the woman on the other side immediately handed over the thick hemp rope that had been prepared and rolled into two loops, while someone else found a log stick.
The old man sent the noose to the hole. While waiting, the man kept putting his hands into his collar and scratching. When he saw the noose came down, he quickly put the two nooses on the two sides of the box. At the end of the rope, the man above has used a short wooden stick to pass through the ring on the rope.
"Okay, lift it up."
"Yeah!"
The old man was old but very strong. He squatted down one behind the other with the middle-aged man at the entrance of the cave, letting the short stick fall on his shoulders.
"One, two, three, get up..."
"Lalala..."
Amidst the sound of the rope being tightened, the old man and the middle-aged man slowly stood up. The box also left the hole a little bit and was slowly lifted to the ground. The people below were careful to hold the rope noose to prevent it from slipping. , holding the box and following the two people above, he sent the box to the ground aside.
"Bang..."
The box dropped to the ground with a muffled sound, and the two people carrying the load let out a slight sigh of relief.
"It's so heavy that I almost couldn't stand up!" "Yeah, there must be a lot of good stuff!"
"No, there are a lot of good things!"
The people at the bottom of the tunnel also climbed up, not one, but four people came up one after another. Apparently three others were just waiting in the long and narrow tunnel.
When everyone came out, everyone gathered around the box and carefully opened the box under the candlelight held by the young man.
"Wow..." "That's a lot of money..."
"Yes, I have never seen so many valuable things in my life..."
What was displayed in front of everyone was a box of goodies, including various jewelry, beads and flowers, lots of copper coins and silver, some folded Chinese clothes, and some belts inlaid with jade and agate. In addition, There are also some exquisite small objects, mostly jade, copper and silver, and even a few exquisite short swords.
"It's really eye-opening, it's really eye-opening!"
"Hey, let's not talk about you, it's the same for us. I heard that this was just a robbery from an ordinary wealthy family, and it was shared with several groups of people, so I packed this full box!"
The person who spoke was the man who had put a noose on his head before, and he scratched the back of his neck severely.
The eyes of several people were shining, and they couldn't help but reach out to play with the treasures in the box. The woman on one side even took a gold hairpin and made signs on her head, without ever hiding the smile on her face.
"It is estimated that Lao Litou will send some more things in the next two days, so be careful with them. We have to find some suitable carriages and horses in the city, and go to the big northern city to sell all the things. It would be better to exchange them for cash. These big treasures Let’s cast a small part of the Tongbao ourselves and hide the rest.”
"Why?"
The old man asked, and a man who came up from the tunnel looked at the three companions who came with him before answering.
"Uncle Li, from what Old Li Tou said, the war seems to be going badly. In fact, it's not just us, there are also some people who are secretly transporting things behind..."
The man who spoke said this, and once again reached behind his collar to scratch. The old man looked at him and then at the other three people next to him, and found that two of them were also scratching. One reached out from his waist. The one under the clothes was scratching his belly, one was scratching his back, and then the third one was also scratching the outside of his thighs. It was not enough, so he finally reached into his cotton pants and scratched directly.
"Are you so itchy?"
The three people who were tickling paused, and the smile of the leading man also faded.
“I’ve been itching all over my body lately. It’s not just me, everyone is the same. It’s like I’ve been bitten by fleas.”
When the old man saw what the man said and saw that the back of his hand seemed to be unable to scratch the itch, he took a step closer.
"Come on, let me scratch it for you."
As he spoke, he opened his clothes and reached in from his back. When he reached about the center of his back, he felt a small knot.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, scratch, hey, yes, hiss...comfortable..."
The old man grabbed his hand for a while before taking it out. As a result, he smelled a foul smell on his hands, especially his nails.
"Ouch, it stinks so much. You guys, you have to take care of yourselves. Now that you are back, you are not in a hurry to go back. When the weather gets lighter, I will ask Ayu and the others to boil a few large pots of hot water. You guys should take a good bath, everything at the camp should be okay?"
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. We have everyone in this army, and the management is not strict at all. After we withdraw for the time being and rest, nothing will happen. Dianmao is also covered by Lao Litou, right? Come on, Uncle Li, let’s get some good wine and food!”
The old man smiled and patted the man on the shoulder.
"What's the point? The second straight should be fine, right?"
"What can Old Li do to you? I just want Uncle Li to make more preparations. Anyway, I will make money."
"Hahaha, that's natural, and you kid, it's time to marry Ayu, right?"
"This, hehehe..." "Hehehehe..."
"Oh daddy~~"
The men on the side all laughed evilly. The old man glanced at the other three men coming out of the tunnel and asked Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com to smile too.
"I've also found it for you guys. Now that you have money, you don't have to worry anymore. Come on, let's finish here first and then go to the kitchen. We're still warming up the wine and meat!"
At this moment, on the beam of the ancestral hall, a little paper crane got in without knowing when, and has been squatting on it and staring down. Originally, he was curious about what the family was doing sneaking into the ancestral hall. He thought it was fun, but when the four people came up After that, the little paper crane's attention was mainly focused on them.
The people below first put the boxes back at the entrance of the tunnel, worked together to seal the tunnel, then blew out the candles, and then left the ancestral hall one after another.
Before closing the door, the little paper crane flew out with a swish, passing by the old man's hand like a breeze. With a slight flap of its small wings, a thin black line was blown out.
Seeing this thin line shooting into the darkness in the corner, the little paper crane was like a bird that discovered a small insect. It immediately chased after it. After searching for a long time in the corner, it pounced on one like lightning. Under the grass, two paper wings were pressed forward together, just like a cat catching a little mouse.
Under the little paper crane's two wing tips, there is something as big as eye droppings twisting constantly. However, although the two wings of the little paper crane are made of paper, even though the bottom is soft soil, But amid the faint flashes of white light, the black shadow couldn't break free.
