"Come on! You little brat! See how I deal with you when I get back."
After being kicked hard on the butt, Yuan Bao went back with Mr. Li with "red eyes".
After watching the two of them leave, I went into the house and told the boss what I had heard.
This thing was done by Xiaoxuan, but none of us can escape the involvement, so we must make sure nothing goes wrong.
"Descendants of Dali Chief Territory Secretary?"
"Shui Guan'er?"
"Yunfeng, why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
His head and brows were knitted together, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together, making him look worried.
I said with a grimace: "I just learned about toast, or what Mr. Li said, head, what does Shui Guan'er mean? Is it Daguan'er?"
Maybe it's because I'm getting older and have been feeling sleepy for a long time, so I often rely on smoking to stay awake.
He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "It's not a high-ranking official. It's an official position within the ancient Yunnan chieftain system."
"It should have disappeared long ago, why are there still... There are two kinds of copper coins handed down now, Shuiguan Tongbao and Huoguan Tongbao, which are either currency in circulation or special coins used by Yunmen chieftains for burials.
"
I don’t know about the “underworld coins” that Tou mentioned, and I’ve never heard of them.
But then I thought about it, was the copper plate around that person's neck this kind of ghost coin?
I recalled: "It should be fine. I looked carefully yesterday and I made sure there was no one around. That person is dead. Now he is dead without any symptoms."
"Death has no cure?"
He closed his head and rubbed his temples. He opened his eyes and said, "What you said is unproven. I don't know how many people have fallen into this trap. Remember, you should never have this kind of confidence when doing a job like ours."
"Go now, call Wen Bin, Dou Yazai, and Xiao Xuan. They all go out and go up to Mang Mountain to look for the ox. If you find it, kill it right there."
I said, "The cow that ran away can't speak. How can it still identify us?"
He immediately glared and said, "Are you trying to make me angry to death?"
"Haven't you heard that an old horse knows the way? Some old scalpers know the road better than an old horse! Stop talking nonsense! Go quickly!"
"Okay, let's go right now!"
After saying this, I felt a little scared when I thought about it. Now we are competing for time with those descendants of the chieftain. We must find the old scalper first and kill the cow.
It was hot yesterday, and it's cloudy today. I didn't check the weather forecast, so I don't know if it's going to rain again.
Halfway up Mang Mountain.
"No, Fengzi, the mountain is so big, where can we find that old scalper?"
Xiaoxuan shook her head in disappointment: "I didn't see it either."
I said: "It's hard to find but you have to find it. Haven't you heard that an old horse knows the way? In fact, some old cows know the way better than an old horse. Hurry up! Move!"
At this time, Brother Yu said: "Looking aimlessly like this is not an option. We have to think of ourselves as the cow and put it into its thinking to find it."
Brother Yu patted his bald head vigorously.
He pointed to a direction and said: "From there to the north, there are farmlands. As the saying goes, old cows like to eat young grass, but these domestic cows obey the rules. I estimate that there is a high probability that they will not go to the farmland."
.”
Brother Yu turned his head and pointed in another direction and said: "So we should look here. The grass around the water source is the fattest. We first find the stream in the mountain, and then divide our troops into two groups, along both sides of the river bank.
I’m looking for you.”
"What do you think?"
This method is okay, I nodded and said that I would do it.
After passing through several woods and walking deep into Mang Mountain, we separated and searched beside a small stream.
Xiaoxuan and I went north, and he and I went south.
We agreed that if we haven't found it by 8pm, we would meet back here.
The sound of water gurgling, accompanied by the cry of cicadas on the trees, Xiaoxuan and I walked side by side.
"Yunfeng, let me ask you."
"Are you afraid of me now?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Why am I afraid of you? What do you have to be afraid of? Can you eat me?"
Xiaoxuan burst into laughter and said, "I can eat you, do you want to try?"
I smiled and said: "Then how do you want to eat me? Stir-fried, fried? Or steamed, marinated and stuffed?"
After hearing what I said, Xiaoxuan grabbed my arm.
She stood up on her toes, lay next to my ear, and exhaled, "I don't want either... I just want to eat the original flavor."
"Let me go, Zhao Xuanxuan, why are you so perverted?"
"Ha ha!"
By the stream, we were chasing each other, running further and further away.
"Ouch!"
"What's wrong!"
"I accidentally tripped over a stone and sprained my foot." Xiaoxuan sat on the ground, covering her foot and complaining of pain.
I quickly ran back to see it.
As soon as I got closer, she threw me to the ground!
Then he held my shoulders and sat on me.
Xiaoxuan's soft hair fell naturally, as if a natural sunshade was added to cover the two of us.
Our eyes met, and we could hear each other's breathing.
It was already very close.
Xiaoxuan was still lowering her head, feeling that the tip of her nose would touch the tip of her nose in the next second.
"Moo...!"
At this very ambiguous and critical moment, I heard a melodious cow cry.
"Stop playing!"
"Get up! The cow is right here!"
After walking along the sound for a few minutes, I asked Xiaoxuan to step lightly so as not to scare it.
There is a small slope not far away, covered with green grass, and the old ox with a bell around its neck is chewing the grass.
In order to drive away flies, the old scalper shook his head while eating grass, causing the copper bell to ring loudly.
Xiaoxuan didn't speak to me. She suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from her inner clothes, and then walked towards the scalper with an angry look on her face.
Who would have thought that the old cow saw Xiaoxuan, like a tiger in the mountains, and suddenly let out a long "moo" sound, turned around and ran away!
"Fuck!"
"Don't run!"
The next moment, a young man in his twenties suddenly jumped out of the grass den. He grabbed the bell rope around the old cow's neck.
Suddenly she saw a stranger, Xiaoxuan holding a sharp knife and putting her hands behind her back.
This young man dragged the old scalper slowly down the slope. When he saw me, he sighed and said with a smile: "I'm going, why did I meet you again? What are you doing in this deep mountain?"
With Xiaoxuan's knife still slung behind her back, she turned to look at me suspiciously, her eyes seeming to say: "Who is this? Do you know Yunfeng?"
What a surprise. I didn't expect to meet him here.
This young man was the one who said he had lived for two thousand years last time. At that time, he was digging for copper coins near the chasm.
I smiled awkwardly: "Yes... what a coincidence, haha, brother, what are you doing here?"
"What else can we do? Aren't we looking for cows? I just tried using a detector to see if I could find any treasures."
He took out the handheld metal detector from behind his back, frowned and said, "It turns out there isn't one, baby. This thing detects too shallow a surface, so it can only be used in rivers."
From what I heard from this treasure hunter's tone, it seemed like he was related to the dead herb collector?
I felt a little guilty and asked him: "Brother, you...are you just looking for cows?"
