I sneered in my heart and said on the surface: "Tell me your conditions, and I'll listen first."
"Haha, young man, then I will tell the truth."
"Old man, although I have never married a mother-in-law, I have also tasted the taste of women. That fragrance, tsk tsk... That pretty little girl at the door seems to be your girlfriend, right? If you can convince her... .... Let her serve me here for two days... Then I will tell you the secret of the jade pendant, how about it?" He finished speaking and waited for my answer expectantly.
As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. After chatting all night last night, I really didn’t expect that this old bachelor would dare to have such an idea. This is because he is old-hearted and extremely bold. If it were my previous temper and character, I would have lost my temper a long time ago. Kicked him in the face.
I suppressed my anger and said jokingly: "Sir, I understand what you mean. Everything else is fine. It's just that your body is old. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up to the horse race. What should I do?"
The old man immediately smiled lewdly and said: "Young man, don't underestimate me! I may not be as good as you young people in terms of physical fitness, but when it comes to actual combat with real swords and guns! I'm probably no worse than you young people! Let me tell you, this is as good as you. When a woman does things, it's like pulling a carriage up a steep slope. It's useless to rush forward hard, but if you can't go up the back section, it will still slide down the slope! So you have to take one step at a time and pull the carriage up steadily! "
I wiped my mouth and said, "Uncle, wait for me for a few minutes. I'll go out and ask my girlfriend what she means."
After I came out and closed the door, I pulled Xiaoxuan away and whispered to her.
"What?"
After hearing this, Xiaoxuan became furious and gritted her teeth and said: "You old and dishonest guy! I'm going to kill him now!"
"Don't worry, don't be impulsive. Don't think about killing people. That's not the best policy! The old man is a staff member of the scenic spot. If he dies, the scenic spot will call the police as soon as possible. Once the people from the police station arrive here, then we All subsequent plans will be ruined!"
"Then what are you thinking! Do you really want me to agree to his conditions?"
"How is that possible?" I whispered: "Xiaoxuan, dogs will drool when they see bones. That's nature. People can't erase the nature of animals, but they can give dogs a poisonous bone."
Xiaoxuan frowned when she heard this, and slowly let go of the knife in her hand.
.....
"Great! Then young man, let's make an agreement! I'm not greedy! I only ask for two nights! Tonight and tomorrow night!"
I said, "I'm afraid we can't do it tonight. We have something to do tonight, so maybe we can do it tomorrow night and the night after."
"No problem! There's no rush for this moment anyway! Haha!"
The old man's face was so red that he looked at Xiaoxuan greedily, like a big bad wolf looking at a well-behaved and docile little white sheep.
Xiaoxuan also cooperated with her current status as a little white sheep and smiled tenderly at the old man.
I guess Xiaoxuan feels like vomiting at this moment. If I hadn't told her before, this old man would never survive the next second based on her temperament.
At around two o'clock, the old man led us to the large soil slope halfway up Weiping Mountain. He was sneaky along the way, looking left and right from time to time, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.
There is a large area of land halfway up the slope that is planted with raspberries. In the early years of Chun'an, only the mountain fields around Weiping and Tea Garden were planted with raspberries. Now that it is approaching the twelfth lunar month, although the picking season has passed, there are still scattered ones on the trees. Some fruits looked shriveled and wrinkled, so I asked if the remaining ones could be eaten.
The old man picked a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth and said: "These don't look good, but they are edible!" He turned to look at Xiaoxuan and smiled: "Just like a little girl, they look dry, but they must be sweet inside. Still waiting."
Xiaoxuan stopped and smiled gloomily.
Seeing this, I quickly stood in front of Xiaoxuan, thinking to myself: "You old guy, you are trying like crazy on the verge of death."
I asked out of curiosity: "Uncle, what are you doing bringing us here? Is the secret in this field?"
The old man recalled: "Many years ago, people often came to this area to pick fruits at night. Because I lived in the mountains all year round, the head of the household asked me to help look after the orchard at night. I could earn about three hundred yuan for half a month."
The old man slowed down and continued: "I remember it was July 19th, and it was raining. I heard some movement at about one o'clock in the middle of the night and went to the field to look, and saw a deep hole sunk next to a fruit tree. "
"I originally wanted to help the head of the household fill it up so that I could take credit during the day, but guess what I found?"
I shook my head.
""There is also a slope made of blue bricks in the pit! It’s more than ten meters deep all the way down! "
"You went down then?" I asked.
The old man nodded: "Yes, I climbed along the slope to the end, and when I saw it, it turned out to be an earth wall!"
"Is there an earth wall going down the slope?"
