Looking at the copper coin in Zhang Xiu's hand, Ying'er suddenly realized, "No wonder that Xia Shang was so unlucky. It turned out that the copper coin was contaminated with a curse."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Well, based on what Xia Shang encountered, it is speculated that this should be a curse that can destroy people's wealth. Whoever holds these copper coins will lose their wealth."
Ao Xue was shocked: "Can you break this curse? If not, throw away these coins quickly, otherwise my pocket money will be reduced!"
Zhang Xiu said proudly: "Don't worry, there is no curse in the world that I, Zhang Dashan, cannot break."
Yan Feng said in surprise: "When did you learn the art of breaking curses? Why didn't I know about it?"
Zhang Xiu snorted contemptuously: "I am gifted and self-taught, but this curse is not worthy of me. Ao Xue, go and put these copper coins into the Buddha's merit box, and let it go to fight with the Buddha. .”
Ao Xue's eyes lit up, she picked up the copper coins and ran out the door, leaving Yan Feng and Ying'er stunned.
Can the curse still be broken like this? !
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu arrived at the village where Xia Shang lived after having had enough wine and food.
After a little inquiry, I found out where the rich man who had been lending money to Xia Shang lived.
Knocking on the door, he saw Zhang Xiu and the others. The rich man greeted them with a smile and saluted: "It turns out that the young master is here. I left in a hurry at noon and I didn't pay my respects. Please forgive me."
Zhang Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "What are you talking about, Liu Yuanwai? I'm Zhang Xiu. I heard that Liu Yuanwai is very charitable and likes to help others, so I came here to visit."
Liu Yuanwai glanced at Zhang Xiu and asked with a smile: "Oh, Master, I have encountered some difficulties. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Zhang Xiu said happily: "I knew Liu Yuanwai was as kind-hearted as me. I want to do business, but I have no capital. I want to borrow a thousand taels of silver from Liu Yuanwai to start a small business."
Liu Yuanwai took a breath and said: "One thousand taels is not a small amount. I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, what business are you going to do?"
Zhang Xiuyi smiled: "This business is easy to say. I use these one thousand taels to recruit thirty or fifty people, buy some swords, guns and sticks to guard the merchants' passage, and charge them some money for tea."
"According to my estimation, it will only take a month at most to repay you the principal and interest together."
“@#￥%￥#@……”
Liu Yuanwai looked at Zhang Xiu's smiling face and felt his whole body numb.
What you are doing is not a small business at all, but a business without capital!
To be able to talk about highway robbery in such a fresh and refined way, you must be a habitual criminal...
Liu Yuanwai was really shocked by Zhang Xiu's remarks and broke into a cold sweat. While wiping his sweat, he said with a dry smile: "Master Zhang really loves to joke. Please tell me why you are looking for me?"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Why, you can lend your money to Xia Shang, but you can't lend it to me? Are you looking down on me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Feng patted the sword case behind his back. The sword was unsheathed with a clang, flew past Liu Yuanwai's cheek, and was inserted into the door plaque behind him with a clatter.
Liu Yuanwai was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and trembled all over.
Then he screamed, quickly raised his hands, shook them, and begged for mercy: "Young master, please spare your life, please spare your own life, my niece asked me to lend money to Xia Shang!"
Zhang Xiu frowned slightly: "Your niece, why did she ask you to lend money to Xia Shang for no reason?"
Xia Shang quickly explained: "Young master, you don't know something. My niece and Xia Shang have been playmates since childhood. This time I came back to Hejian County to visit relatives. I saw that Xia Shang lived in poverty, and I couldn't bear it. That’s why I gave him a helping hand.”
When Yan Feng heard this, he couldn't help but let out a tut: "Does she want to help Xia Shang? It seems to me that she is just greedy for her body!"
Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes at him, stepped forward to help Liu Yuanwai up, and said, "Come on, take us to see your niece."
Seeing that he had escaped death, Liu Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief and led Zhang Xiu and others to the backyard with empty steps.
"My niece lives in Anqiu County, and her nickname is Qiaoer. She came back to visit relatives this time to visit my mother. My mother loves her very much. She is with her all day long and is not willing to let her go. She has already kept her here. It’s been more than a year.”
With that said, he led Zhang Xiu to the door of a wing room, knocked on the door, and said: "Mom, there is a distinguished guest at home, and I want to see you."
At this time, Yan Feng suddenly noticed a sinister energy in the room. With a sharp look in his eyes, he made a sword move and opened the door with a sword.
The flying sword passed by, and the strong wind caused the curtains in the room to flutter.
A white-haired woman's corpse was lying on the bed, suddenly breaking into everyone's eyes.
"ah!"
Liu Yuanwai came to the bedside in panic, looked at the white bones on the bed, and burst into tears: "Mother——"
Zhang Xiu stepped forward and observed the white bones on the bed for a while, patted Liu Yuanwai on the shoulder, and said regretfully: "Your mother has been eaten by monsters for more than a year, and your niece must have been killed long ago."
Liu Yuanwai stopped howling, his body couldn't stop trembling, and he said with a horrified look on his face: "That niece of mine turned into a monster?!"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Don't be afraid. She probably doesn't know that she has been exposed yet. When she comes back from going out, I will definitely avenge your mother and niece."
Liu Yuanwai felt relieved, stared at Zhang Xiuyi and gritted his teeth and said: "If you can get rid of this monster for me, I will give you a thousand taels of silver even if it means selling iron!"
Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly: "There is no need for money. Let's have someone prepare the meal. Prepare two more plates of sea cucumbers. Whether your mother can be resurrected depends on these two plates of sea cucumbers."
Liu Yuanwai was confused and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly asked someone to go to the kitchen to cook.
When the sea cucumber was served on the table, a monk with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes came uninvited. He came to the table with a smile, grabbed a sea cucumber with his hand and chewed it. He said with a smile: "That old friend of mine, why?" Don’t you ask her to join us for dinner?”
Zhang Xiu glanced at the white bones behind the curtain and said, "Maybe there is only an old skeleton left, and it is inconvenient to get up."
Jigong chuckled: "No matter how old she is, she can still have a monk like me. Get up, my old baby!"
As he spoke, he waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and the bones gathered together, and he sat up from the bed.
Immediately afterwards, the bones gave birth to flesh, and she turned into a gray-haired old lady in front of everyone!
"mother!"
With Liu Yuanwai's expression of disbelief on his face, Jigong smiled and said: "The physical body has recovered, but her soul is still in the goblin's belly. As my old sweetheart, I still have five years to live, so I have to find a way to catch the goblin." , take the soul out of her belly."
A smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's lips: "Don't worry, I'm ready and waiting for her to come back."
