During this time, the two of them went through the maze and hunted for treasures together, and they had a good relationship with each other. Niu Xi did not hide it and told about the strange dream he had last night.
Seeing his state, I felt that it was probably impossible to go to the maze with me today. After all, you need to be calm in the maze to find the way out.
So Niu Shun decided to stop for a day and let Niu Xi rest at home.
I might as well stay at home, after all, I haven't had a break for a long time. In the past, it was because I had to cut firewood and sell it for money, but now there is a lot of money under the bed, and I will not worry about food and drink in the next life. It is not a big deal to rest for a day to rejuvenate.
Niu Xi wandered around the house, unable to sit still all morning, always thinking about that strange dream that was so real.
At noon, Yang Jie and his servants arrived in front of his house in a panic.
"Xizi, something happened in the county!" Yang Jie looked worried. "A monster suddenly entered the city, causing chaos."
People from the Yang family would not be so bored as to chat with him about interesting things in the county. As soon as he heard this, Niu Xi immediately had strange dreams in his mind, especially the monster: "Where is my dad! Did something happen to my dad?!"
"You, don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!" Yang Jie was worried that Niu Xi would lose control after hearing the truth of the matter, so he tried his best to comfort him, and then said to him, "My family rushed over to report the news. During dinner this morning,
A monster broke into my house and took Uncle Niu away!"
"Ah!!" After hearing this, Niu Xi felt dizzy and almost fell down.
"Xizi, don't be anxious!" The Yang family hurriedly asked two maids to come forward to help him, but he did not dare to go over, for fear that Niu Xi would get angry and hurt others. He would not do anything to the two weak maids, right? He said quickly
, "Uncle Niu is not in danger for the time being..."
"What's not dangerous? My father was captured by monsters! Monsters eat people!!" Niu Xi really couldn't do anything to the two women. He looked at Yang Jie angrily and said, "If your family hadn't called my father over,
, there will be no such thing!"
"Yes! That's the truth!" Yang Jie couldn't refute, "But we didn't expect this. The most important thing right now is to rescue Uncle Niu quickly. Don't worry, he was lost in our home, and we will do our best.
Help you bring me back safely!"
"How to bring it back? That's a man-eating monster!!" Niu Xi was extremely anxious.
"My father said in the letter that the monster didn't catch people just to eat them." Yang Jie hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Niu Xi, "Look, the monster said he wanted me to send more money and fine wine...
"
"I don't understand this!" Niu Xi said anxiously, "The monster wants money and wine? Are you kidding me?"
"It's true! Although I don't really believe it, that's what my father said about the words left by monsters."
"Monster, monster... that's right!" Niu Xi suddenly turned around, "Go and ask two monks, they can definitely save my father!'
"No!" Yang Jie heard this and hurriedly stopped him.
"Of course you need monks to deal with monsters, why did you stop me?" Niu Xi shouted anxiously.
Yang Jie hurriedly explained: "Xizi, don't worry! It's just that the monster said that if we ask the county soldiers or monks for help, we will eat your father!"
"What?!"
"Really, that's what my father said in the letter." Yang Jie said, "He said that the monster wanted a thousand taels of silver and a thousand catties of wine, and he had to send someone to Yeboar Ridge. Don't worry, he was caught at my house. I
Dad is already raising money and sending people to buy fine wine. As long as Uncle Niu can be rescued, this will not be a problem! It’s just that it’s not that easy to collect a thousand taels of silver, it will take some time..."
"What are you talking about? What monster? What silver wine?" Niu Shun probably heard what was going on here, so he came over to inquire.
"It's okay!" Yang Jie immediately mumbled when he saw him coming.
However, Niu Xi did not hesitate and turned to him and said, "Shunzi, my father was captured by a monster in Tong County!"
"Ah?!" Niu Shun was startled, "What's going on?"
Yang Jie quickly winked at Niu Xi: "Xizi, you can't just talk nonsense..."
"It's okay! Shunzi has a good relationship with me." Niu Xi frowned, "Is my father really safe?"
"At least..." Yang Jie looked at Niu Shun and hesitated for a few seconds, "It seems safe, as long as he can get money and wine for him. Wine is not a problem, my father has connections with several wine merchants in the county
Yes, you can definitely get it. It just takes a few days to raise a thousand taels of silver. All my family’s money is invested in business, so it will take time to get that much cash. But you can rest assured, our family will have this money
It will definitely come out!”
"How many days? Then if the monster gets anxious, won't my father be in danger?" Niu Xi said in a panic.
"We will definitely try our best!" Yang Jie said, "Xizi, shall I take you to the county seat? Let's discuss how to rescue Uncle Niu together. Don't worry, no matter what the cost, we will definitely let Uncle Niu go home safely!"
"A thousand taels of silver?" Niu Shun blinked, suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Niu Xi aside, and whispered in his ear, "Xizi, your father will be in danger if you wait for a few days! If the monster really only wants silver and wine, Yang
You can prepare the wine as soon as possible, there is money! What we have brought back these days, your share is more than a thousand taels of silver!"
Niu Xi's eyes lit up, and then he became worried again: "But with that money, we originally planned to..."
"Is the plan more important or is your father's life more important?" Niu Shun whispered, "Uncle Niu is very kind to me, and I don't want anything to happen to him."
"What should we do over there in the maze? If people find out that we spent such a large amount of money, how will we explain it when people ask us?"
"Just find a way to convince people from the Yang family." Niu Shun's brain was very useful at this time. "Just tell the outside world that it is the Yang family's money. Anyway, they themselves said they are willing to take the money. You can also ask then.
They are coming back. As for the Yang family, there is no need to tell them about the maze. Just say that the silver was secretly given to you by the living god before when he gave you the elixir."
"Yes!" Niu Xi nodded repeatedly, "I will do as you say! It's just broad daylight, how can I avoid the eyes of the villagers, or even the attention of the Yang family, and take the money out from under the bed?
?”
"Don't worry! Now the people in the village are either helping at the Taoist temple or working in the fields. Not many are at home. There is still about an hour for lunch!" Niu Shun whispered, "I will take the people from the Yang family away first.
, you hurry up and use the donkey cart to pull the silver!"
"Okay! I'll try to be careful."
"Hurry up, we put it flat and it's easy to count. But it's a bit tiring to move a thousand taels of silver by yourself, so you have to hurry up."
