Chapter 27 This place is suitable for burying people
Along the way, he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until he got home that he found the wooden box in the cabinet and opened it.
The wooden box is full of iron beads, so many that it makes the scalp numb.
"You two people from the Jianghu have forgotten what is the most taboo thing in the Jianghu." Xu Bai grabbed a handful of iron beads and thought to himself.
The iron beads flowed out from between the fingers and landed on the wooden box, making a tinkling sound, which sounded strange at night.
Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will give birth again.
threaten?
Blackmail?
In Xu Bai's view, if you satisfy the other party once, it will become a bottomless pit.
Greed is infinite, and the benefits that are within reach are equivalent to unlimited magnified greed.
If you want to truly eradicate troubles, you must not only treat the symptoms, but also the root causes.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth gradually raised.
It seems that... a proper solution has been found.
The blacksmith and the proprietress seem to have overlooked a loophole that can make them fall into hell.
…
The next day.
In the early morning, Xu Bai went to the stall to have breakfast as usual, and patted Xiaoyue's head by the way.
After eating, I started to wander around again.
The whole process is the same as usual, and there is no psychological burden at all.
Behind Xu Bai, the proprietress was quietly following.
She saw that Xu Bai had been doing nothing, and she couldn't figure out what Xu Bai was thinking.
It wasn't until noon that Xu Bai left from a stall.
When he left, he was holding the hemp rope he had just bought from a street stall.
"What is he buying hemp rope for?" The proprietress became more and more confused.
She can't understand Xu Bai's brain circuit at all, and it's fine if she doesn't have any psychological burden. The key is to buy useless hemp rope, and she can't understand it more and more.
Could it be that he was forced to hang himself?
The proprietress shook her head vigorously to shake off the unrealistic thoughts, and continued to follow.
On the other side, after Xu Bai bought the hemp rope, he didn't continue to stay on the street, and found another place to have lunch, and then returned home with the hemp rope.
The proprietress didn't go in either, she kept guard at the corner of the street not far away.
It was approaching the afternoon, Xu Bai went out as usual, had dinner, and stayed at home again.
The sun gradually goes down and night falls.
On the street, the endless stream of people and noisy sounds gradually disappeared.
The bustling and bustling streets became deserted, only the proprietress stood guard in the corner.
The bell sounds, and the watchman begins to work every night.
"He's been at home all this time?" The blacksmith also came out, carrying a big iron box half the height of a person.
The iron box looked extremely heavy, but the blacksmith held it in his hands effortlessly, just like lifting a cardboard box.
"There is nothing unusual about him today, even normal." The proprietress stared at the door of Xu Bai's room without turning her head.
The more normal, the more abnormal.
The two of them are also people who have been in the rivers and lakes, so they are naturally aware of this.
"Be careful, if it's not impossible, I don't agree with going this way." The blacksmith said.
This sentence angered the proprietress.
"You think I am willing? I have worked so hard to hide here. If I hadn't run out of money and goods, I would have taken risks? This man is an old man, and I don't want to socialize with him." .”
The blacksmith smiled wryly upon hearing this, and said no more.
At this time, the closed door opened.
The two stopped talking and stared at the door.
In the dark night, Xu Bai walked out from inside, carrying a wooden box on his back.
The wooden box was tied with hemp rope, and two straps were made, which looked funny on the back.
"That box seems to be given to him by me. It's used to hold the iron beads. It's strange. What is he doing with the wooden box?" The proprietress asked suspiciously.
"Perhaps it is to store silver. Didn't he say that there are hundreds of ingots of silver, and it is difficult to store them without a box." The blacksmith thought for a while and said.
"I hope so." The proprietress said.
Besides this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason.
While the two were talking, Xu Bai had already left the door, heading north of Sheng County.
"Come on!"
The two of them followed quietly without hesitation.
…
Xu Bai carried the wooden box on his back, and soon left Sheng County, heading towards the outskirts of Sheng County.
The wooden box is very heavy, but to Xu Bai it is light.
The realm of the eighth-rank Sanren, as well as the golden air flow in his body, made him feel like he was walking on the ground.
Few people go out of Sheng County at night. After all, in the wild, no one can figure out the danger.
Ordinary people are busy with their livelihoods every day, let alone go to the wild to hang out when they are full.
On the outskirts of Yisheng County, only Xu Bai was walking.
The sky is full of dark clouds.
The moon is hidden in the dark clouds, only a little silver light shines down.
The silver light fell on Xu Bai's body, and the wooden box glowed matte under the silver light.
Xu Bai walked farther and farther. At this time, he was already more than ten miles away from Sheng County.
Behind them, the blacksmith and the proprietress kept following. The farther they went, the more doubts they had in their hearts.
Hiding money, is it really possible to hide it so far?
In case of an accident, it is too late to rush over, isn't Yinzi used as someone else's wedding dress?
Both of them couldn't figure it out, but they had come to this point, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind.
After walking several miles, Xu Bai slowed down and stopped in place.
Here is a slightly empty space, the soil under the feet is soft, and it is very comfortable to step on it.
Xu Bai turned around, looked at the woods behind him, and said with a smile, "You two, stop hiding, the environment here is very good."
In the woods, there was a whisper.
"If you don't come out again, don't want money anymore." Xu Bai added.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound in the woods, and the blacksmith and the proprietress came out.
"Boy, what the **** are you doing, what are you doing with the wooden box?" The proprietress walked up and asked.
"I'll help you find the money. I use a wooden box to store the money, which is reasonable." Xu Bai untied the hemp rope on his shoulders and put the wooden box on the ground.
He raised his feet and put them on the wooden box, while resting his elbows on his feet, bent slightly, and stared at the blacksmith and the proprietress with a playful look.
For some reason, the blacksmith and the landlady were swept away by Xu Bai's eyes, and they both shuddered.
"Originally, I thought I would have to walk a longer distance to reach the destination, but I didn't expect that this place is very good." Xu Bai propped his chin with his hands, and said slowly.
"What do you mean, the silver is hidden here?" the blacksmith said dully.
Xu Bai pointed to the sky, then to the ground, shook his head and sighed: "It's so vulgar to talk about money, I invited you two over here just to see if the scenery here is good."
The scene fell into silence, and a needle could be heard.
"What the **** do you mean, what are you doing?" The proprietress felt that the atmosphere was different, and said angrily.
Xu Bai stomped his feet, the ground was soft.
A sentence came out of his mouth.
"The soil here is very good, suitable for burying people."
