Chapter 1936 Silver Ingot Incident

Not long after Min Wenwen disappeared, the villagers from the Taoist temple began to return home one after another, including Niu Xi's father Niu Bao.

Jia Zhengjin has been squatting in the attic, secretly observing through the mouse hole.

Niu Xi was sitting in a large wooden bucket specially used for bathing, washing his body and treating the wound on his shoulder. He did not notice that a silver ingot appeared in the dirty clothes thrown on the ground behind the wooden baffle.

When Niu Bao returned home, he saw the door was open and heard the sound of water in the room, so he knew his son was taking a bath.

Niu Xi heard the footsteps and knew that his father was home.

The father and son have a tacit understanding. They both know that the other is at home, but they don't say a word.

Niu Bao went back to his room and hid the wages he received at the bottom of the box, covered it with his clothes, and turned to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Passing by my son's room, I saw the door was open and his dirty clothes were scattered everywhere. I couldn't help but shake my head, walked in and bent down to clean them up.

"What are you doing?" Niu Xi stood up when he heard the noise, stood on tiptoe and looked around from behind the wooden baffle.

"Won't you put it in a bucket?" Niu Bao lifted up his son's dirty clothes and shook them, preparing to take them outside to soak them for easy cleaning later.

As a result, the silver ingot hidden by Min Wenwen fell down and hit the ground with a dull sound.

For a moment, Niu Bao and Niu Xi, father and son, were stunned, staring at the silver ingot on the ground.

"Where did the money come from?!" Both father and son asked almost in unison.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Niu Xi's eyes averted.

He suddenly thought, could he accidentally take it with him when he came down from the mountain? But for such a big ingot of silver, it must be quite heavy. Would I be completely unaware?

Or was it that Xizi secretly stuffed the firewood into her own firewood, and then dropped it into her clothes when she got home, without her noticing?

It was clearly agreed that each person would have half of the treasure in the maze, so there was no reason for Xizi to secretly give me a piece at this time!

Sure enough, you brought it back accidentally, right?

Niu Xi was thinking in his mind, but his avoidant eyes made his father Niu Bao suspicious.

The father knows very well how much his son weighs.

This large ingot of silver is probably many times more than the money he hides in the box.

Going to Taoist temples every day, the wages are very considerable.

My son followed Niu Shun up the mountain to cut firewood every day, and he never saw a bundle of firewood being sold. Other than that, he was at home.

According to his character, all the money he had was spent gambling with his friends. He had just learned to behave at home recently. How could he suddenly have such a huge amount of money? There is only so much room in the house, and the son cannot hide money.

Besides, the silver inside the clothes must have been found only today.

So the question is, he and Niu Shun went up the mountain to chop wood for a whole day, where did the money come from?

Why is his eyes averted? Could it be that the money came from something wrong?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Niu Bao was extremely anxious: "Xizi, what happened to the money? Did you do something shameful?"

"Shunzi and I went up the mountain to cut firewood, what shameful things could we do?" Niu Xi felt that he had brought the money back accidentally, and he was equally anxious.

"How can you bring back such a huge ingot of silver by cutting firewood in the mountains? I have never heard of people picking up silver in the mountains.

Niu Bao asked anxiously, "Where did it come from?" Make it clear! If it's not ours, return it quickly. "

"Don't worry about it, just give me the money!" Niu Xi stretched out his hand from behind the wooden baffle, "I will handle it myself!"

"Handle it? Please explain this matter clearly first. You can't do anything illegal!" The more Niu Bao thought about it, the more frightened he became. He originally thought that his son had restrained himself recently and was much more well-behaved. If something like this happened suddenly, everyone would have to think wrongly. Could it be that my son went to the mountains to chop firewood with Niu Shun under the pretext of going somewhere else? But no one in the village has such a huge ingot of silver... No! The Yang family should have it. Did he steal it from the Yang family?

"What can I do?" Niu Xi was very anxious, "Give me the money."

"What on earth did you do today? Dad can still help you here, but it will be troublesome if other people know about it!" Niu Bao decided that there was something wrong with the origin of the money, "Tell me honestly, and we will find a way. ....."

"What are you thinking of? This money is mine!" Niu Xi saw that his father's voice was a little loud in excitement, and he was afraid that Niu Shun would hear him. After all, the two families lived very close to each other.

After getting the silver back, he could still find a way to secretly sneak into the maze the next day and sneak into the treasure, pretending that nothing happened.

Niu Shun shared half of his treasure, there was no need to get into trouble for a piece of silver.

Of course, the premise is that Niu Shun cannot know. If he mistakenly thinks that he is not satisfied with half of the treasure and secretly steals the money from him, the consequences will be disastrous.

In his desperation, he didn't care much, so he jumped out of the barrel naked, ran over and grabbed the silver from his father's hand.

The words were not clearly stated, so Niu Bao certainly wanted to ask for clarification. When his son reached out to grab it, he subconsciously stepped back, but the young man moved faster. The silver was taken back, but he was carried forward by the inertia and fell directly to the ground.

It wasn't broken, but I increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the money. Otherwise, why would my son be so nervous? Feeling scared and annoyed, her voice suddenly rose: "Xiko! What did you do today?! Where did the money come from?!"

"What are you yelling for?! What are you yelling for?!" Niu Xi clutched the silver ingot tightly, "You don't want others to hear you, don't you?"

"If there is no problem with the silver, what are you afraid of?! I am your father, tell me honestly, what did you do today? Where did the silver come from?!" Niu Bao almost beat his chest, "We can't do this! We are a decent family, we can't do evil!"

"How can it be evil? There is no problem with the source of the silver!" Niu Xi said anxiously, "Why are you yelling? Can you speak softly?"

"If there is no problem with the silver, why are you anxious? Why do you want me to speak softly?" Having said that, Niu Bao still lowered his voice, completely worried about his son, "Tell me the truth, did you really go to the mountain with Niu Shun to chop wood? Impossible? Tell me, what did you do today?!"

"Don't let your imagination run wild here," Niu Xi casually took a clean piece of clothes and put it on, "I tell you, there is no problem with the silver! I was just on the mountain with Shunzi, and I didn't go anywhere. Just pretend you didn't see it, understand?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me!" Niu Bao trembled all over, "I'll go to Shunzi to ask if you really went up the mountain with him today!"

"It's the same if I ask Shunzi. If I didn't go up the mountain to chop wood, would my shoulder be like this?" Niu Xi showed his wound.

"Where did the silver come from?"

"Why do you care about this? Anyway, I tell you, the silver came from a clean source, and it was definitely not used for any crime!" Niu Xi said in a deep voice, "Don't ask Shunzi, this is between him and me."

"Then you have to tell me what's going on, right? Could it be that Shunzi said he took you to chop wood, but actually did something else behind our backs?" Niu Bao became more and more scared the more he thought about it.

"What big things can he do as an honest man?" Niu Xi looked out the window cautiously, "Anyway, I will explain the silver matter to you later, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Can't I explain it clearly now?"

"It's not clear now! Don't worry about it!"
