Chapter 160

Ah Er's hunting methods are really not covered up. He actually caught three fat big rabbits and a pheasant with a trap made of a few wires.Eating roasted rabbit meat around the bonfire and drinking the local wine that Zaba brought in, everyone felt very happy.

It's a pity that the happy days are always short-lived. On the third day, everyone tasted the toughness of the poor mountains and bad waters.Dozens of villagers gathered in front of Rongmancang's stone building one after another, begging for stone money around Zhao Shaolong and Yuan Ci.This is the uncle of the Rong family, that is the cousin of the third uncle of the Rong family, and one even more outrageous said that the Rong family owed his family dozens of bags of corn...

In short, these people are more or less related to the Rong family, and because of their debts, they must share a share of the stone money.Zhao Shaolong regretted it too late, he knew that he would not have given Uncle Niu Niu the 500 yuan if he was killed.

The current situation is a real tragedy caused by 500 yuan.Even if the villagers didn't ask for much money, Zhao Shaolong didn't dare to hand out money randomly.If this hole is opened, the villagers within a few hundred miles will probably hear the news and come to eat the big family.

Since these people in Gou Ri are all relatives of Rong Mancang's family, why didn't anyone ask about their whereabouts?You can even think with your toes, it must be because they are afraid that once the Rong family appears, the stone money will be nothing to them.Zhao Shaolong shook his head and sighed, the world is so cold, human feelings are so indifferent.

These mountain people have lost their humanity for money.It can also be seen that the Rong family has no close blood relatives here.

Ah Er pulled Zhao Shaolong aside and said, "Commander, it seems that this matter needs to be resolved quickly, and it will be troublesome if the government is disturbed. Let's talk to their village chief, and we can negotiate how much money we will pay at one time, and we will finish with some blood." never mind."

Zhao Shaolong shook his head and said, "Just now I asked, the village head of this place has gone out to do some errands, and I heard it will take a few months to come back. What made me most angry was that the second uncle of Niu Niu pretended to be the village head and lied to me 500 yuan. I know. Not only is that girl not the village head, but she is not from this village at all. I said why the couple took 500 yuan and left happily..."

"Hey..." Ah Er shook his head and sighed to express sympathy, and continued, "Now we need at least forty days to finish the shipment. If we don't send money, these people will stop the shipment. If we send money, people will gather more and more." If it really doesn’t work, let’s just beat them away with our cannon fodder. Don’t look at how loud they are, kill one or two, and make sure they don’t dare to make trouble again.”

Zhao Shaolong shook his head and said, "No, this method must not be used. I told you a long time ago that the cannon fodder group is not a Liumang gang, let alone robbers who rob houses. To treat these simple villagers, ahem, these guys It’s nothing simple, but I still can’t use this method. It won’t take forty days. I’ve asked outsiders to expand the delivery team, and when they enter the mountain this time, they can finish the delivery at once. Now it’s just a matter of delaying for a few days .”

Suddenly, a clear and high-pitched female voice came out from the crowd, "I won't give you a penny, get out of here, or I'll kill you all."

Zhao Shaolong frowned and pressed his forehead, this girl Yuan Ci is going to be fierce.

"Yuanci, don't do anything." Zhao Shaolong yelled and rushed into the crowd.

Yuan Ci's willow eyebrows stood erect, her face was slightly pink, and her eyes were murderous.Zhao Shaolong grabbed her hand, "You go into the house, I'll take care of things here."

Yuan Ci snorted, and turned his eyes around. The villagers were stared at by Yuan Ci, and they stepped back a few steps, not daring to make a sound.However, the allure of money is still greater than the threat of empty talk, and the crowd still shows no signs of dispersing.

"Folks, we come here to buy stones in the mountains. There is absolutely no reason to give you money for no reason. Besides, the stones in the Rong family's field have nothing to do with you. But since everyone is here, I will not let everyone down. You guys There are stones in the home, right? Whether it is in your own home or on the hillside, as long as it is a strange stone, it has a certain ornamental value. As long as you transport it to the gate of this stone building, we will buy it at a high price, at least 100 yuan per stone. The bigger the money, the more money." Zhao Shaolong said these words aloud, and then quietly watched the villagers' reactions.

After hearing this, the villagers began to whisper, and finally seemed to agree with Zhao Shaolong's words. One of the leading old men walked up to Zhao Shaolong and said, "There are many beautiful stones in our field, and they used to go to the field to get 50 yuan a stone. , it took a lot of effort to transport it here, and 100 yuan is too little."

"100 catties of stones cost 600 yuan, and [-] catties of [-] yuan. I'll give you [-] yuan for two thousand catties. That's the price, don't let it down. I won't give you a penny here. But stones It has to look good, at least it has to look like an animal, a mountain god or something, otherwise you can pull it back by yourself." Zhao Shaolong said firmly, without any room for maneuver.

The villagers muttered again, and after a long discussion, the old man finally came out to speak, "Okay, boss. You have to keep your word, or we won't let you get a single stone out."

I won't transport stones, but if anyone blocks me from transporting gold, I can guarantee that no one standing in front of me can stand up.Zhao Shaolong looked coldly at the group of villagers whose eyes were reddened by money and said loudly, "Don't worry, as long as the stones are good, they will be paid in cash immediately when they arrive here."

"Okay, it's a deal. Then let's go get the stones." The old man showed joy, and all the villagers happily dispersed and went home to get the stones.

Watching the villagers disappear on the mountain roads going up or down, Zhao Shaolong heaved a long sigh, never expecting that he would encounter the situation of forced buying and selling.I'm afraid it will take a day or two to transport five hundred catties of stones here, right?If a villager who wants to make a lot of money goes to get a few thousand gold boulders, he will commit a crime of his own accord.By the time the stones are brought here, we may already be back in Kyoto.

Ah Er held up his thumb and praised Zhao Shaolong's good plan, let them move the stones, and there will be no more troubles.

"Ah Er, you are responsible for collecting stones here these days. Regardless of whether the stones are good or bad, each family will collect one stone first. Each family will only collect one stone. The money is given to them for nothing. Hold on. It's fine if they don't make trouble." After Zhao Shaolong finished speaking, he went into the stone building to drink water.

Yuanci handed Zhao Shaolong the water cup and said, "Shilou, you are so kind, you still bothered them. These people are completely unreasonable, they should be beaten severely."

"Yuanci, these are ordinary people. When people are poor, their thoughts are extreme. It's normal to do such a thing. It's my fault that I gave Uncle Niu Niu 500 yuan. This guy must have used the money to show off and attract these people." Human." Zhao Shaolong said while drinking water.

"Yeah, that second uncle and second aunt must have been cleaned up before I left, and they dared to lie to us that they are the village head, it's too hateful." Yuan Ci said with narrowed eyes.

"Forget it, after all, they are relatives of Niu Niu. Since we are going to take Niu Niu away, I guess we have to go to Niu Niu's house before we leave. If there is no accident, the family will ask for some money, so don't quarrel with others over this. "Zhao Shaolong stared at Yuanci and said.

Yuan Ci sat next to Zhao Shaolong and said, "Don't worry, let Zaba talk about it when the time comes, and with his eloquence, the talk will definitely be successful."

Niu Niu cooked the meal, and everyone went back outside the Earth Temple after eating.Zhao Shaolong went down into the cave alone, looking at the piles of gold nuggets that had been packed, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.It is inconceivable that such a huge wealth could be transported so easily.Do you need to report the situation to Old Man Long?What will Old Man Long do when he finds out?Confiscate, or let go?
Forget it, if there is a chance to gain the trust of the pavilion master, don't startle the snake.

Zhao Shaolong walked around the cave again, looking for any hidden treasures.I heard Master Song Qingdan said that a large sum of money is needed to treat Han Xuan, and the amount that would make Jinzhen Hades frown must not be small.How much is it, and whether the gold is enough, I really don't know.

Back outside the cave, I didn't expect that there was already a lot of people outside, and Ada and Zaba had already returned with their people.The number of mules and horses this time is frighteningly large. It seems that the people in Tianya Haige are still very effective in their work.Zaba was also capable, and he found dozens of porters. Although they were not as experienced as the first batch of mule porters, they would not have any major problems if they followed the large team.

Seeing that all the staff arrived, Zhao Shaolong no longer hesitated, and gave an order.Cannon fodder members began to enter the cave to transport gold and tie it to mules and horses.After a few 10 minutes, all the gold was tied up and put in order.

"This time, everyone will not rest overnight, and set off immediately to the outside of the mountain. Ada, you take a few people to lead the way in front of the mules and horses, and Zaba is in the middle to pay attention to the situation of the entire mules and horses. If you have any problems, you will go there to solve them. Ah Er, after you guys are finished, the other team members will be dispersed into the entire mule and horse team, and nothing will happen." After Zhao Shaolong finished speaking, he waved his hand violently, signaling to start.

Zaba raised his voice and arranged the experienced porters in the middle of the team. Ada led the way, and the whole team started to set off.All the tents were not evacuated, except for the things that would be used on the road, all other materials were thrown away.

When the last mule in the mule team left the Earth Temple, Zhao Shaolong and Yuan Ci returned to the cave, bombarding it with their palms.The entire passageway of the stone cave collapsed and the land was sealed tightly. Rong Mantang did not know how much money he spent to build the treasure cave, which was buried under the rocks forever.

Covered with passage stone slabs, the Earth Temple has returned to its previous appearance.The Rong family is all dead, but I don't know if anyone will come to Dali's earth temple again in the future.

Zhao Shaolong asked Ah Er to light up the bonfire, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers in the nearby mountains. Zhao Shaolong was a little afraid of them coming to block the way.It's not that they are afraid of being blocked from getting out, but that Yuan Ci will beat them to death.

Yuanci's behavior of using ancient martial arts to deal with ordinary people is the target of Yanhuang Longwei's attack. As the captain, Zhao Shaolong is quite embarrassed to face it.If it is an unknown ancient warrior, there will be no psychological pressure to fight.Zhao Shaolong doesn't mind killing a few more villains who bully the weak.

After doing all these well, Zhao Shaolong and Yuan Ci took Niu Niu to catch up with the team of mules and horses, found Zaba in the middle and talked about their idea of ​​taking Niu Niu out.Zaba said with a look of embarrassment, "Brother Shaolong, I really can't handle human trafficking."

"Sir, we rescued Niu Niu out of the fire pit. You didn't look at her second aunt, and you pinched Niu Niu's body black and purple at every turn. If they don't agree to use money to solve the problem, I will take Niu Niu away and leave her behind." In this mountain, she will be ruined in this life." Zhao Shaolong opened his mouth and cursed.

"But, it's someone else's child, you can't say take it away and rescue it." Zaba felt a sense of justice overflowing.

Yuan Ci pulled Niu Niu and said, "Everyone has human rights. As long as she is 16 years old, she can decide where she wants to go. Niu Niu told Uncle Zaba, would you like to go with us? By the way, How old are you, Niu Niu?"

Niu Niu blinked and said, "I decided to go outside the mountain with my brother and sister. Niu Niu is 13 years old."

Zhao Shaolong frowned. At the age of 13, he really can't just go with a stranger.Is it really impossible to take Niu Niu away smoothly?
