Chapter 1891 Be Patient
Old man Li was a nice guy. He didn't doubt Jia Zhengjin's excuse and asked him to lend him the donkey and donkey cart. He only needed to send a bundle of firewood every day.
Of course, he agreed because of Niu Shun's honest character. If Niu Xi had asked, he would have refused immediately.
They successfully borrowed the donkey and led it up the mountain. However, they felt something was wrong.
When they reached the mountainside, Niu Xi couldn't help but stop: "I'm not going!"
Jia Zhengjin was also very depressed. He turned back and followed Niu Xi's gaze, looking at the familiar faces following behind him.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You followed us all the way!" Niu Xi got angry and shouted unhappily, "Are you annoying?"
"Xizi, this mountain is not yours. It has nothing to do with you that we are here!" Uncle Liu and Jiang Shu, Jiang Hua, Feng Hui and other villagers came out from the back. They were basically the same generation as Niu Xi's father Niu Bao.
"Uncle Liu, I have nothing to do with you going up the mountain! But you followed me and Shunzi all the way, isn't that right?" Niu Xi asked unhappily, "What do you want to do?"
"Who is following you? We want to chop wood too, is that not okay?"
"Okay! Okay! But don't follow us!" Niu Xi was very unhappy and turned to look at Jia Zhengjin, "Shunzi, let's go over there."
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin was actually quite depressed. Did these villagers follow him to make trouble?
Of course, he could see that it was the elixir that Niu Xi brought back yesterday and the fabricated "immortal adventure" that caused the current situation.
The villagers did not doubt the fairy adventure, otherwise, with Niu Xi's character, how could he follow Niu Shun up the mountain to chop wood? He even asked for elixirs to cure Niu Bao's illness!
Today, Niu Bao worked in the field, and everyone saw it with their own eyes.
He used to be sick, but in the morning he was full of energy, just like when he was young.
They didn't mean any harm, but they just couldn't suppress their curiosity. They hoped to see what the gods looked like, or have an encounter to see if they could get any benefits.
Niu Xi told them not to follow, and led the donkey up the mountain with Jia Zhengjin. But the villagers still followed behind, keeping a certain distance, like a tail.
"Annoying! I'll go drive them away." Halfway through the walk, Niu Xi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and turned around with gritted teeth.
"Don't!" Jia Zhengjin didn't care.
As long as Niu Xi stayed by his side, he could ensure that the gambling went smoothly. He couldn't let Yue Lang see his true identity, so he had to keep a low profile, try not to cause trouble, and play the role of Niu Shun well. He stopped Niu Xi and whispered in his ear, "They are just curious, and it's impossible for them to give up their work and follow us up the mountain every day. If you act too intensely, it may make people suspicious. After all, this mountain is not ours."
"Then what should we do if they follow us like this?" Niu Xi frowned and whispered in Jia Zhengjin's ear.
"Curiosity comes and goes quickly. As long as they can't see what they want!" Jia Zhengjin whispered, "Anyway, we made up the gods and don't really exist. It seems that we can't go to the maze today, so let's just chop wood honestly!"
"What if it's the same tomorrow?"
"Then wait another day. It doesn't matter if we are late for a day or two. The maze must not be discovered!" Jia Zhengjin reminded softly, "One or two days is fine. Soon we will have to do farm work or even sell prey in the county. It's impossible for them to follow us all the time."
"Then we won't go today?"
"No! Let's chop wood."
"Okay!" Niu Xi took a deep breath and tried to suppress his emotions. "Chop wood!"
With the villagers following, it is impossible to go to the maze.
Jia Zhengjin took Niu Xi and turned to the area where Niu Shun usually chopped wood. The two put the donkey and donkey cart on the side and got busy.
Of course, because of the relationship between the donkey and the donkey cart, Jia Zhengjin had to pretend to be injured in his feet, which was relatively hard.
They were chopping wood here, and the villagers watched from a distance, pretending to chop wood.
After observing for a long time, they found that Jia Zhengjin and Niu Xi were really just chopping wood, and there was no so-called "god". So the villagers couldn't sit still, and simply collected firewood around.
But it was impossible to give up so quickly. Jia Zhengjin and Niu Xi pulled a cart of firewood down the mountain, and they followed with bundles of firewood on their backs.
For half a day, everyone stopped talking and went up and down the mountain very tacitly.
Jia Zhengjin and Niu Xi couldn't go to the maze, so they put all their minds on chopping wood and didn't want to reveal their flaws.
The villagers who followed them kept observing the two, and at the same time looked everywhere in the middle to see if there were any traces of the "god", but in the end they found nothing.
A day passed like this.
When the sun went down, Jia Zhengjin and Niu Xi pulled the last cart of firewood down the mountain.
The villagers who followed them also lost the spirit of looking around, chopping wood for a day was very tiring.
Nothing was accomplished that day. Jia Zhengjin was fine, but the villagers were very disappointed.
After hearing about what happened yesterday, they thought that a powerful monk had come to Niulan Village. They wanted to meet him and see if they could get some benefits, but they got nothing after a whole day.
Did the monk pass by by chance and let Niu Xi get away with it? Or did he really live in the nearby mountains and just happened not to come out?
With such doubts, everyone decided to continue to follow and see what happened tomorrow.
If they could really meet the monk, what would it matter if they delayed their farm work for two days?
If you can get a magical elixir from a monk, or if you are lucky enough to learn a spell, or even invite a monk to live in the village, it will be the best thing for Niulan Village!
"It's a waste of time, it's so annoying!" After returning to Niu Shun's home and making sure that the villagers had dispersed, Niu Xi closed the door and cursed angrily, "They are all full!"
"Curiosity! It's understandable." Jia Zhengjin smiled lightly, "Don't be anxious, be calm."
"You are very patient!"
"Anyway, only the two of us know the maze. It's the same whether we get the treasure two days early or two days late. We can't make the other party suspicious now. The most important thing is to be cautious."
"I hate this! Are you going to follow me tomorrow?" Niu Xi walked around the thatched house.
"Maybe." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "We are just delaying it for two or three days, no delay. It is impossible for the people in the village to really drop all their work and follow us all the time."
"Why do you think they are so annoying?"
"Relax." Looking at Niu Xi's anxious expression, Jia Zhengjin advised, "If such a small thing stumps us, and we have more money in the future, we will have more troubles. Can we hold on? You have to be patient, and you have to be extra careful. careful."
"Forget it!" Niu Xi sighed. He heard the donkey braying outside and frowned at him, "But it's impossible to borrow this donkey and donkey cart forever, right? If we don't transport the treasure quickly, we have to find other ways."
"Don't worry, don't be impatient!"
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
