Chapter 688 The Troublemaker
Although Ji Xiaoyan was reluctant to admit the fact that old man Qingmi was greedy for alcohol, she still had to give in in the face of reality. Mo Haihua, the owner of Wuli Town Restaurant, charges very high prices for her "favorite" wines. Mo Haihua fully uses the phrase "can't be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold".
A jar of wine, two thousand gold coins, no bargaining!
Originally, in order not to make Old Qingmi regretful, Ji Xiaoyan was prepared to bleed a lot and spend two thousand gold coins to make Old Qingmi happy. Who knows, but just when she was about to pay, old man Qingya said simply: "Two thousand gold coins per jar? It's too expensive, too expensive... If you let me buy it for me, we will be together in the future." I have no money to live on...Forget it, I will bear it this time!"
"No more?" Mo Haihua raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man Qingmi and asked. One sentence.
"No, no." Old man Qingmi replied quickly, then turned to Ji Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go, girl, let's follow the waiter out quickly, otherwise I will look at the wine jar and I will Will be ready to move, if After spending all the money for me, a greedy person, we will have no way to survive in the future!"
Ji Xiaoyan opened her mouth, originally wanting to tell old man Qingmi that she could still afford the two thousand gold coins. I won't be able to live without buying him wine. But looking back, since old man Qingmi was going to help her save money, why should she bother to be taken advantage of and spend these two thousand gold coins? So, Ji Xiaoyan quickly nodded, greeted Miao Xiaohei and the others, expressed his gratitude to Mo Haihua, and then followed the old man Qingmi and walked into a passage with the waiter.
I thought that would be the case. As long as they passed through the underground passage of the restaurant and reached the ground, the incident in Wuli Town would end successfully. As a result, the accident came as expected.
Moreover, what caused this accident was the old man Qingmi who had been relieved for a while not long ago, but suddenly realized that he knew he was saving money for her.
The accident started just when Ji Xiaoyan thought the incident was about to end.
At that time, the waiter in the shop happened to be holding an oil lamp and sent them to the end of the passage, to a place with a five or six meter high wooden ladder. The top of the wooden ladder is a dark wooden board, just like the wooden board at the entrance of the cellar that Ji Xiaoyan and the others saw at the beginning. It is surrounded by dark soil, and only the waiter's weak oil lamp is flickering in the entire space.
"You just need to go up from here and you can leave." The waiter explained to Ji Xiaoyan calmly: "The location above should be in the suburbs. You can only see if you will encounter monsters or something." You're in luck."
"Second Brother, is that door easy to open?" Meow Xiaohei pointed to the black board above his head, looked at the waiter and asked seriously: "Is it possible? What kind of key or something? ? If there is no key, people from outside can’t come in at any time?”
Hearing this, the waiter frowned, thought for a moment and said to Meow Xiaohei: “We don’t have the key. I usually leave it like this... However, the possibility of what you said is quite high. I will tell the boss later! You should leave quickly!"
When Meow Xiaohei heard this, he immediately Blinked. Is this the end? Why don't you thank her for her advice?
"I'll put the oil lamp here, and you can take care of it yourself. There's still something to do in the store, so I brought it here." The waiter nodded slightly to Ji Xiaoyan and the others, and then leisurely disappeared into the darkness. In the passage.
Ji Xiaoyan shrugged, reached out and touched the wooden ladder, ready to climb.
"Um, girl!" At this moment, old man Qingya spoke.
"What's wrong? Uncle Master? Is there a problem?" Ji Xiaoyan stopped what he was doing nervously, turned around and looked at old man Qingmi and asked.
"No, no!" Old Man Qingya quickly shook his head, then rubbed his hands and said, "I want to say, you guys go up first and wait for me. I suddenly thought that something seemed to have fallen when I came. We're on the way, ready to go back and look for you..."
"Did you drop something? What did you drop?" Ji Xiaoyan and Miao Xiaohei asked with concern on their faces, "Why don't we go out and help you look for it together?"
"No, no, no, I probably remember where it is. You go out first and wait for me. Okay!" Old Man Qingmi waved his hand, and then urged: "You guys go up first, just in time to see if Jia Jia has been sent here..."
"You really don't want our help?" Ji Xiaoyan frowned and looked at old man Qingmi and asked.
"No, no need!" Old Man Qingya said firmly again, then moved his body back and said: "You guys go out and check the situation first, I will be back in a moment!! I I'll be back as quickly as possible..." After saying that, Ji Xiaoyan saw sparks from the weak oil lamp flickering, and old man Qingmi disappeared into the passage.
"Xiaoyan, why do I feel that Master Qingmi seems to be hiding something from us... Do you think he really dropped things? I don't think he is the kind of person who would drop things. !" Miao Xiaohei looked at the direction in which old man Qingya disappeared and said doubtfully. "I guess he must have found something good on the road and is going to go back and dig for it!" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, guessed the most likely reason and said something to Miao Xiaohei, and then climbed up the wooden ladder. , while saying to Miaoxiaohei and Ye Yingshenshen: "I'm going to go ahead to check the situation. You guys should follow me quickly. Don't close the door when you are the last one..."
< br>
"Okay!" Everyone responded, and Ji Xiaoyan climbed up to the top of the wooden ladder with both hands and feet.
The wooden board covering the top of the head was just as the waiter said, it was just placed on it casually. Ji Xiaoyan raised his hand and saw a piece of sunshine with sunset filtering through the gap, illuminating many places in the passage. Lifting the board head away with all his strength, Ji Xiaoyan heard a loud voice: "Xiaoyan?"
"Jiajia, are you here? Is anyone with you?" Ji Xiaoyan asked in surprise. In one sentence, he asked Jia Jia to help push the wooden board open.
"I had it just now, but then he left!" Jia Jia answered honestly. After stretching out his paws to help Ji Xiaoyan pull the board apart, he watched her climb to the ground with a nervous look on his face. He looked around, and then quickly said: "There is no one around, Xiaoyan, don't worry!"
"Did the person you mentioned bring you here?" Ji Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"Yes!" Gaga nodded affirmatively.
"Xiaoyan, pull it..." Miss Meow Hei carefully looked around the wooden ladder. After confirming that there were no insects, she quickly shouted to Ji Xiaoyan, and then took Ji Xiaoyan's hand. Climbing to the ground, he took a deep breath, and then said happily: "Finally out!"
Ji Xiaoyan smiled slightly and looked at Ye Ying Layer, Brick, and Fu inside After Siman and Zhenmo also climbed out, they looked into the wooden ladder a little worriedly and said, "I don't know how long it will take until Uncle Qingmi comes over."
"If It's like you said, he went to dig something, it will definitely take some time. Anyway, we are not in a hurry now, just wait a moment." Ye Ying thought about it and smiled at Ji Xiaoyan. Said something.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiaoyan and the others heard a slight vibration under their feet. Before they could distinguish it, they heard the voice of old man Qingmi instantly reaching their ears along the wooden ladder: "Girl , don't close the door..."
Ji Xiaoyan's heart tightened instantly, what happened to old man Qingmi? Could it be that there were some high-level monsters in the tunnel they just walked through? Why else would his voice be so nervous?
“Girl, please wait for me!!” Old Man Qingmi’s voice clearly reached Ji Xiaoyan’s ears again. Just when they were about to ask what was going on, another crisp voice suddenly sounded angrily: "Let's go? If you don't hand over those things to me today, you won't be able to get out of this passage and out of us." Wuli Town!”
“It’s the NPC boss!” Meow Xiaohei said immediately.
“It’s the boss!” Ye Ying said with confidence, “What’s wrong with Master Qingmi?”
"It seems that something was stolen? And was it discovered?" Miao Xiaohei turned his head and looked at Ji Xiaoyan. When did this happen? It's true that Uncle Qingmi, since you stole someone else's things, why did you go back to dig for treasures? He deserves to be chased...but, that said, this logic seems a bit wrong! Miao Xiaohei was startled for a moment. He looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a stutter and said, "Xiaoyan, you said...you said Master Qingmi went back...not just to steal things, right?"
Ji Xiaoyan's face was also full of black lines, and she really didn't know how to answer Miao Xiaohei.
She also felt that old man Qingya definitely didn’t go back to dig for any treasures, but actually went back to steal things. It's not like she hasn't seen his stealing methods before! However, what Ji Xiaoyan couldn't figure out was why old man Qingmi didn't ask Yu Mo to help him become invisible this time when he went back to steal something!
"What are we going to do now?" Ye Ying glanced at the hole on the ground worriedly, looked at Ji Xiaoyan and asked, "How about spending the money to kill Master Qingmi?" Did you buy the stolen items? I think the most likely thing is that Master Qingmi stole the wine!" "I think so too!" Miao Xiaohei nodded in agreement.
"If the wine is really stolen, it depends on how much Uncle Qingmi stole. If there is only one jar, I can still afford two thousand gold coins, but I'm afraid he is too greedy..." Ji Xiaoyan looked worriedly at the passage opening on the ground, but still didn't see the figure of old man Qingya, so he said a little sadly. Based on her understanding of old man Qingya, if he attacks, he will definitely not take away just a few things. He will definitely sweep away Mo Haihua's other things, or all the wine. Otherwise, Mo Haihua's voice will definitely not be heard. It sounds so angry!
Sure enough, in the next second, Ji Xiaoyan and the others heard that old man Qingmi seemed to be fighting with Mo Haihua. While the two were fighting, old man Qingmi was shouting: "I think you can do it, right?" ? Didn’t you just take some wine and other rubbish from you? Why don’t you just pretend you didn’t see anything?”
