Before Cui Hongyu could say anything, Chen Qiaoer had already clapped her hands happily.
"Okay, okay, great, I can have two homes in the future."
Looking at the excited Chen Qiaoer, Cui Hongyu nodded slightly.
"It's all up to my husband's arrangement, but what do I need to do tomorrow?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on Chen Qiao'er."
After a short break.
Chen Xiaobei went into the mountains.
After all, repairing a house is an expensive job, and with the addition of Chen Dachun's house, the budget will increase a lot, so I have to get more money quickly.
The first stop is of course to go to Calabash Valley to get two ginseng trees, which can be exchanged for silver right away.
Of course, if you are lucky enough to come across a century-old ginseng tree, it will sell for a good price.
I'll get some Houttuynia cordata when I get back.
Now, Chen Xiaobei was already familiar with the journey into the mountains, and he soon arrived at the mountain temple.
But when he arrived at the mountain temple, he felt nervous.
Next to the mountain temple, there are obvious signs that someone has stayed here.
Obviously, after the night they searched for Chen Dachun, very few villagers would come back to the mountain.
Therefore, these traces are most likely left by the men in black that I saw last time.
Chen Xiaobei became cautious. He stopped and walked along the way, listening carefully and making sure that there was no movement around him before moving forward.
There is a steep slope ahead. After climbing over the steep slope, you will soon enter the Calabash Valley.
Chen Xiaobei listened here for a long time. After he thought it was safe, he carefully prepared to climb the slope.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were weak, and his body could not help but fall.
"Oops, there's a trap."
Chen Xiaobei secretly thought that it was not good. It was too late to break away now because there was no point of leverage under his feet.
In desperation, Chen Xiaobei could only stretch out his hands to expand the area of his body, hoping it would work.
But in the next moment, a fishing net appeared on the ground for no reason, catching him in the net. In the next moment, the whole person was hoisted into the air.
Chen Xiaobei was face down at this time, his limbs were twisted in reverse, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.
"Help, help." He couldn't help shouting.
He hoped that the trap here was set for wild animals, and his shout could call the owner of the trap.
Sure enough, just after shouting twice, there was a voice next to him.
"No need to shout, no one will come to save you."
Following the voices, several men in black appeared next to them.
The one at the front is tall and has a stubble beard.
Sure enough, they were the same people I met that day.
"You guys, put me down quickly." Chen Xiaobei shouted loudly.
The bearded man looked at it, and a smile appeared on Chen Xiaobei's face.
"Boy, let me ask you, are you from Hetou Village?"
Chen Xiaobei agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I am from Hetou Village. I have no enmity with you. Why do you want to arrest me?"
"Why are you arrested? Is your name Chen Xiaobei?"
"Yes, I am Chen Xiaobei."
"I heard that you rescued a person from this mountain a few days ago. His name is Liu Tie, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei groaned secretly. What are you afraid of? What's coming?
Sure enough, I came here for this matter.
"Everyone, I don't know the name of the one you are talking about. I went to the mountain to collect medicine that day, and I did meet an injured person."
"He said he would give me five taels of silver. He asked me to carry him down the mountain. He also said he would give me another five taels of silver and ask me to report a message to the Liu family in the county seat."
"I don't know his name either."
Although Chen Xiaobei's acting skills are average, it is obvious that what he said is reasonable.
The bearded man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Well, what you said is somewhat credible. That Liu Rumei gave you a lot of money, right?"
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, forget it, I just gave her ten taels of silver. I asked her for a horse, but she was reluctant to give it to me. I could only use the money to buy a donkey cart."
After saying this, several men in black actually laughed in unison.
"It is said that Liu Xiangnan is generous with others, has a great sense of justice, and attracts heroes from all over the world. I think these are just rumors."
"Everyone, I don't know who Liu Xiangnan you are talking about. Can you put me down first? My arm is about to break." Chen Xiaobei struggled again.
The bearded man waved his hand, and someone came up from beside him. He put Chen Xiaobei on the ground and pulled off the fishing net on his body.
"Thank you very much. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Chen Xiaobei knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, and the Thirty-six Strategies were the best.
"Stop, I'll discuss something with you." The big man with the beard changed his face to a kind one. Of course, with his appearance, even if he said he was kind, he couldn't be more kind.
"Brother Xiaobei, please introduce yourself. My name is Sun Jian."
When Chen Xiaobei'er heard this name, he almost laughed out loud. This Sun Jian is not that Sun Jian.
"As for us, we want to take a look deep into the Qingniu Mountain. Can you be our guide? Of course we will give you money. You say how much you want."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head like a rattle after hearing this.
"To be honest, I went into the mountain to collect herbs. After passing this steep slope, I walked a mile or two further and never went further. I don't know the road inside."
Sun Jian chuckled and said, "Even if you don't know the road, you grew up at the foot of the mountain and are familiar with the conditions in the mountain. When we entered the mountain, our eyes were filled with darkness. The mountain road ahead was like a maze. We walked several times but didn't get it right." "
Chen Xiaobei was originally afraid of going into the mountains, but when he heard what Sun Jian said, he didn't dare to go forward, "Brother Sun, I really can't do it, why don't you hire someone else?"
At this moment, a man in black next to him made a loud sound and pulled out the scimitar from his waist.
"You kid, don't tnd if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined."
"Let me tell you, we are working for the Imperial Master. If you do it well, then the Imperial Master will put in a few nice words for you in front of the Emperor. You will do what a high-ranking official has to do. You can ride any horse you want, and you can marry a man with ten houses and eight rooms." My wife, isn’t she beautiful?”
Chen Xiaobei said to himself, I know how to draw cakes like this. In my previous life, my lousy manager often did this trick. He also said that I could be the vice president, but in the end, he didn't even give me an extra hair.
Even if we take you all over Qingniu Mountain, the credit in the end will still be yours.
If you eat meat and give me a sip of soup, it's all because of the smoke rising from my ancestral graves.
Sun Jian waved his hand deliberately, "Sun Gui, why are you talking to Brother Xiaobei?"
"Brother Xiaobei understands justice well and will definitely help us with this."
As he spoke, Sun Jian stepped forward and said, "Brother Xiaobei, I know you have a wife and a sister at home. It's not easy to support your family."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it forward.
"Take this first, and I'll thank you again when the job is done!"
It seemed sincere, but Chen Xiaobei could hear that the words were full of threats.
