"One, hahaha, a novelist."
The waiter in the shop quickly replied with a smile, fearing that his reply would be too late and cause misunderstanding among the guests.
After the waiter refilled the customer's water, he quickly retreated to the side door.
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were drinking tea and listening to everyone gossiping about the big and small things in the city.
“Pa.”
As soon as the alarm rang, everyone looked up and saw that Mr. Novel Book was already standing in front of the stage.
After seeing him, Shi Zelan sent a message to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "He has the demeanor of a storyteller now."
The novelist gracefully saluted the guests: "To the young and old, Say hello, gentlemen.
The story I’m telling you today is completely unrelated to the real incident.”
“Hahaha, little sir, you are now timid.”< br>
Mr. Novel Reader naturally heard what the guest said. He raised his hands and saluted: "I am the one who has to support my family now, so it is better to be timid."
"Hahaha, little sir, we still like to see you in high spirits. "
Mr. Novel Book waved his hand: "Back to the subject, the story I want to talk about today is that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people.
It is said that there are treasures in the mountains. A jade mine has been discovered in a mountain, which is a good thing for the surrounding people, right?”
“Hush, little sir, we sincerely admire you now.
You are right, having a jade mine is a great thing for the surrounding people. "
"But money and silk are so attractive that the government arranged for people to dig out jade. After the masters in the world learned the news, they rushed to the mountains one by one.
......
Pa, all you old and young men who want to know the details will wait for the next announcement. "
When Mr. Novel Book talked about the battle between martial arts masters and officers and soldiers, he suddenly stopped.
With an eye-catching shot, Mr. Novel Reader strode away from the storytelling desk as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
As soon as the guests in the teahouse realized what was happening, he had already passed through the hall and never looked back.
My boss chased me for two steps, stopped at the back door, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, shall I send a carriage to pick you up at the teahouse tomorrow?"
The novelist immediately shook his head: "My boss, Please don't harm me. I'm not old enough to enjoy this kind of treatment.
My master will come to tell you tomorrow. Please arrange a proper carriage.
Last time, my master said that the carriage ran faster and that his health was not as good as before. "
"Don't worry, this time an old coachman will pick up your master, and your master will definitely be able to go back and forth safely. "
Mr. Novel Book shook his hand at his boss. He sighed in his heart. If he goes too far, his master will only look happy.
In the tea house, everyone is still Talking about the struggle between Jianghu masters and officers and soldiers, I don’t know the outcome?
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three exchanged glances. Sure enough, the city was well-informed, and these things were also revealed to interested people. .
"Well, it's not easy for the officers and soldiers. They have to stay in the mountains in heavy snow."
"When all the jade stones are excavated, they won't have to stay in the mountains."
< br>"I heard people say that a mountain is full of jade. I'm afraid it won't be possible to dig out a big mountain in the past ten years, right?"
"I know where that place is."
" We also know that there must be a jade mine nearby the official road guarded by the officers and soldiers.”
"I heard people say that some old people want to be buried in that place when they grow old.
But after the alchemists visited it, they said that Feng Shui treasure land is not suitable for ordinary people." "That's right, Control. The place where jade is produced is not an ordinary place.
Old people are really stupid and want to wait until they grow old to lie in such a feng shui treasure place. They are too naive. It’s bigger.”
“Shh, stop talking. If you keep talking, we will offend people along with you.”
Someone got up and left at this time, and Shi Xiaoliu and three others followed.
After a while, Shi Xiaoliu and the others stood not far from the teahouse and looked at the sky above the teahouse.
The three of them looked at each other again: "This city is still not very stable."
Therefore, Shi Xiaoliu and the others did not stay in the city longer, but went out. City gate, and then directly back to the top of the mountain.
The next day, they heard the noise at the bottom of the mountain. The three of them stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the group of people at the foot of the mountain.
The magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture accompanied the officials from above to inspect the gold mine.
It was snowing, the mountain road was difficult to travel, and there were many people accompanying us. Master Tongzhi ran around arranging things to go up the mountain.
The mountain road is well built, but on snowy days, people who go up the mountain can only go up the mountain slowly.
And since there were people in front and behind us, we could only walk steadily up step after step.
The prefect and the inspection officials also reminded that the road up the mountain is slippery in heavy snow, so we should not take it lightly on the way up the mountain.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the people walking up the mountain, and they all broke into a cold sweat for them.
They watched for a while and saw that half of the people had already gone up the mountain, so they turned directly under the eaves.
Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Should we follow to see the excitement?"
While Shi Xiaoliu was thinking, Shi Zelan said cheerfully: "Let's go then. , Slow down, they are going down the mountain again.”
“It’s not easy for them to go down the mountain so fast.”
When Shi Xiaoliu saw that both Shi Zelan and Xia Yu wanted to watch the fun, he didn't object, but he just thought there was no need to rush there in such a hurry.
“Xiao Liu, it’s so cold on the mountain, and they came here for the gold mine.
They won’t hang around here for too long. They greeted the officers and soldiers guarding and dug for the gold mine. They should be able to go down the mountain.”
“That’s right, the place where the guards and excavators live is clear at a glance. There is no need to go in to see.”
Before, the guards and excavators lived there. The workers' accommodation was very simple. Later, as the location of the tunnel entrance moved, they also moved inside.
Out of curiosity, Shi Xiaoliu and the others went over to look at the place where they lived. As a result, the conditions of their resting and living quarters had not improved in any way.
They went to the mountainside to see that there was no one on the mountain road, and the three of them turned out from the back mountain.
They attached invisibility charms and followed the group at a distance. As a result, the officers and soldiers walking at the end looked back several times.
Cause the person in front of him whispered: "Why do you always look back?
The mountain road is very slippery, so you still have to walk carefully."
"Brother, I always feel that there is someone behind me, but I can't see anyone when I look back."
"That means there is no one. It's just because of the snow and the sound of the wind blowing snowflakes, which makes you misunderstand that there is someone walking behind you. . ”
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three heard their conversation, so the three of them stopped.
After the one in front walked away, the three of them slowly followed.
At the entrance of the gold mine tunnel, there were already many officers and soldiers waiting for the official inspection, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces.
The prefect and the officials sent from above expressed their condolences to the officers and soldiers, and also explained that they knew the hard work of the guarding officers and soldiers.
The saint cared very much about their daily lives, was pleased with the officers and soldiers' efforts in guarding, and praised them as loyal ministers of Gale Wind Zhijincao. (End of this chapter)
