Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 15 Shock
After hearing what Haodadie said, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I was afraid of being scolded by him.

"It's actually very simple." Zeng Wenjie said in a low voice.

"How does it work?" Zeng Xiangdong listened carefully.

"They like to use transparent tape to wrap gold. When you tear off the tape, rub it hard with your hands to get some glue on your fingertips. Then, when you inspect the goods, rub it with your fingers. This way, the finer gold particles and gold powder will stick to your fingertips." Zeng Wenjie talked about the sneaky method.

Zeng Xiangdong suddenly realized, so that's how it is, it's quite simple!

"The truth is simple." Zeng Wenjie grinned and wiped the gold powder off his fingertips with a tissue.

Although the amount is small, it is gold. If you get one more gram, you can make nearly a hundred dollars in free profit!

Zeng Wenjie has at least three to five grams of it on his fingertips.

"Dad, let's go around the mine and take in any suitable raw goods we find. You will be in charge of receiving the goods from now on," said Zeng Wenjie.

"Okay." Zeng Xiangdong smiled with relief.

"But don't use this trick of mine casually. Look at who's coming." Zeng Wenjie whispered.

"Don't worry, I've lived decades longer than you, but I'm still not as good at judging people as you are?" Zeng Xiangdong rolled his eyes.

Zeng Wenjie recalled that he was 37 years old in his previous life, and his father was only 42 years old now, but he had not lived a few decades longer than him.

But I can only keep these words to myself.

The father and son walked along the winding mountain road of Yinziping to find out the situation of the surrounding gold mines, but their luck was not very good. The goods that had just been produced from several gold mines were taken away.

Finally, I managed to spend the 20,000 yuan, but it was already getting dark.

"Oh no! I was so excited about receiving the goods for the first time that I didn't pay attention to the time!" Zeng Wenjie was shocked when he saw the setting sun, and hurriedly pulled his father away.

It's not safe in the deep mountains and forests late at night.

It's not about ferocious beasts or ghosts. The most terrifying thing is people!
"Dad, this is our first time in Yinziping. We are not familiar with the environment, so it took us a while! You must remember that next time you go up the mountain to collect goods, you must come down the mountain before four o'clock." Zeng Wenjie said.

"I know, let's go quickly, it's getting dark." Zeng Xiangdong also knew that he couldn't be careless in this kind of situation, so he picked up two wooden sticks, one for his son and one for himself.

The father and son walked quickly. Since they were going down the mountain, their speed was much faster than going up the mountain.

The ten kilometers up the mountain took at least an hour and forty minutes, although the father and son walked very fast. It took almost an hour to go down the mountain.

After walking about five kilometers, it was getting dark and the sunset was no longer visible, but the road was still visible and there was no need to carry a lamp.

"Damn it, if I cross this valley alone, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack!" Zeng Wenjie thought to himself as he walked quickly.

The father and son were passing through a valley. The temperature was low, the light was not very good, and it was quiet, giving people a creepy feeling.

After walking out of the valley, there was another downhill road with a smaller slope. After walking another two kilometers, Zeng Wenjie suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Dad, please walk more lightly." Zeng Wenjie whispered, secretly tightening the hilt of the knife.

"Okay." Zeng Xiangdong nodded.

After the father and son slowed down their steps, Zeng Wenjie focused his attention on his hearing. Soon, he heard light footsteps on the mountain road behind him.

This made his heart jump and his face turned ugly. He didn't expect that he would be targeted the first time he went up the mountain to collect the goods!

"Dad, run first!" Zeng Wenjie whispered, pushing his father's shoulder.

Zeng Xiangdong knew something was wrong from his tone. After a night of alchemy and a day of harvesting, he had established a deep trust in his son.

The father and son started jogging along the mountain path, but they didn't dare to run too fast. After all, the path was steep and they might roll down if they were not careful.

"Fuck, they're really coming for us!"

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but curse in a low voice. As they quickened their pace, the movement behind them immediately became more intense, and it was obvious that they were also running after them!

Moreover, judging from the noise, there were probably not just two or three people, but at least five or six!

Although Zeng Wenjie had the ideal of becoming Chen Jinnan, he was not Chen Jinnan after all. Being surrounded by five or six bad guys on this mountain road would only lead to his death.

Since they want to rob, they must be well prepared and have a powerful weapon in their hands. His small dagger cannot scare others.

The father and son ran for two kilometers, their footsteps closing in behind them. This put immense pressure on both of them, making them feel like their lungs were about to explode. "Son, this isn't a solution. Take the gold and run first. I'll stop them!" Zeng Xiangdong gritted his teeth, knowing full well that he probably couldn't escape.

My son is young and strong, so he will probably be able to run to the ferry.

These words made Zeng Wenjie stunned, and at the same time he felt a little regretful. He regretted not paying attention to the time and regretted not learning more tricks from his grandfather before.

But he absolutely couldn't just abandon his father and run away with the gold, so he had to pull his father's arm and continue running.

After running about a mile, Zeng Xiangdong felt that his lungs could no longer hold on. He was forty years old and a heavy smoker. In addition, he was being chased and was panicked. His breathing was disordered and he had no physical strength left.

"Damn it, at worst we'll just fight!" Zeng Wenjie held the hilt of the knife, feeling furious.

At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh at himself - I'm probably the most miserable person to be reborn. I don't even have the chance to show off before I'm stuck in this remote mountain area!

Zeng Xiangdong pushed him and urged him, "Run..."

Just when Zeng Wenjie was about to draw his sword and turn around to fight, a flashlight suddenly lit up in front of him. Following the light, he saw two men in uniform!

"We're saved!" Zeng Wenjie was overjoyed and ran forward pulling his breathless father.

"Gold..." said my father with difficulty.

"Don't worry about the gold for now. Let them confiscate it if they want! We have saved our lives and can earn more later!" Zeng Wenjie said gritting his teeth.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such bad luck just two days after his rebirth.

He almost lost his life, and in the end, he couldn't even keep the gold.

The two men ran forward wildly, and the noise immediately attracted the attention of the two people in front.

"Wenjie, why are you here so late?" The light shone directly on Zeng Wenjie's face, and the man in uniform couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Ah, it's my uncle!" Zeng Wenjie squinted his eyes and saw the person holding the flashlight clearly, and couldn't help but said in surprise.

After hearing this, Zeng Xiangdong couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Brother-in-law?!"

Wu Hongwu frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why are you in such a mess?"

Zeng Wenjie panted and pointed behind him, saying, "Uncle, someone is chasing us. There are at least five or six of them, and they've been chasing us for four or five miles!"

"That's unreasonable!"

Wu Hongwu raised his eyebrows, suddenly pulled out his pistol, raised the muzzle and pointed it at the sky.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just raise your hand and shoot three shots!

The gunfire illuminated the night and startled countless birds.

Looking at the truth that had destroyed his dream of becoming Chen Jinnan in his uncle's hands, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but let out a breath of foul air and said, "Chen Jinnan's deterrent power may not be as great as this thing!"

After the gunshots, there was silence.

The bad guys behind were scared away.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Zeng Wenjie asked. Only then did he have time to look at the person next to his uncle. It was the uncle in the hat who sent him back to town the day before yesterday.

Wu Hongwu said with a dark face, "We're here to investigate a case! But you guys, why are you still here so late?"

Zeng Wenjie smiled bitterly and said, "I came here to do business and didn't pay attention to the time."

Wu Hongwu turned around and scolded Zeng Xiangdong, who was gasping for breath and speechless. "What's wrong with you? You even brought Wenjie with you! It almost got you into trouble!"

Zeng Xiangdong waved his hands repeatedly, sticking out his tongue and panting.

"Forget it, I'll take you to the ferry and then go do my business." Wu Hongwu finally sighed and put the gun back.

"Thank you, uncle. Sorry, I'm bothering you again, uncle!" Zeng Wenjie hurriedly handed a cigarette to his colleague next to him with a smile on his face.

When Wu Hongwu saw him smoking, he couldn't help but glance at Zeng Xiangdong, but when he saw that the latter didn't show any reaction, he ignored him.
