Chapter 2004: Chance Persuasion

In fact, a bowl of white porridge can provide limited energy, which will be consumed quickly.

However, Diao Jun gritted his teeth and persisted until noon. He picked some wild vegetables, at least half of which were eaten by Brother Shao at noon, which was barely enough to fill his stomach.

As I was preparing to go down the mountain to go home, I heard a burst of singing.

The voice sounded familiar, and curiosity drove him to follow it.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw a young Taoist monk sitting cross-legged and meditating under a tree, closing his eyes and singing loudly.

"Brother Jia?!" Seeing the other party's face, Diao Jun showed a look of surprise, "Didn't you go to Yunyou?"

Sitting on the top of the mountain was Jia Zhengjin. Hearing Diao Jun's voice, the singing stopped suddenly. He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face: "I calculated with my fingers. There is an opportunity here today. Unexpectedly, it is Diao Shanren!"

"Opportunity? What chance?"

"We meet again today. It shows that the evildoer and the poor man are destined." Jia Zhengjin smiled and said, "Why don't you follow me and travel around? Are you willing?"

"What about Brother Shao?"

"Pindao once said that Huang Shao has a poor destiny..."

"Diao Jun will not abandon Brother Shao. My two brothers are brothers. Even if Brother Shao really has the fate of poverty, Diao Jun is willing to suffer poverty for the rest of his life!"

Pretty stubborn?

The friendship between these two people is not so easy to destroy, but that is why it is challenging!

Jia Zhengjin closed his eyes, paused for a minute, and said, "That's fine! You are willing to give up some opportunities for Huang Shao. I don't force myself."

"Monk, can't you really resolve Brother Shao's destiny as a poor god?" Diao Jun was a little unwilling. It didn't matter that his own destiny was suppressed. It would be great if he could help Brother Shao change his destiny.

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter of fate is a foregone conclusion. This is God's will and cannot be changed!"

"Oh..." Diao Jun sighed deeply.

"You really don't want to travel with me?"

"Brother, Diao Jun will not abandon Brother Shao!"

"Then go down the mountain! Today's opportunity,

It’s also a waste~” Jia Zhengjin closed his eyes again, as if he was in trance.

Looking at the motionless Jia Zhengjin in front of him, Diao Jun hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked down the mountain.

When I walked to the mountainside, I found that Jia Zhengjin, who was supposed to be at the top of the mountain, was sitting on the roadside in front of me. So he stepped forward in surprise: "Monk, aren't you on the mountain? Why..."

"What a pity the opportunity!" Jia Zhengjin did not open his eyes and shook his head slightly, "You Diao Shanren, you and Huang Shao are incompatible with each other. Sooner or later, there will be a gap. There will be something big within a month, so we should separate as soon as possible!"

"Monk!" When Diao Jun heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, even a little angry, "Although I respect you, I cannot tolerate inciting brotherhood. Brother Shao and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and we are as close as flesh and blood. What do you mean, Shao? It’s okay for me to be a brother, but why do you think my brotherhood will eventually break down? Why do you always encourage me to leave Brother Shao?”

"Don't be angry at those who are unkind. The poor are just trying to persuade you with good words." Jia Zhengjin replied calmly, "As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and true advice is bad for the ears and good for action. You two have a deep love for each other as brothers, but fate has played a trick on you. Your destiny is to be a mountain of gold and silver. It is a pity to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world. Moreover, Huang Shao will have a disaster within the month, which may endanger his life. If you leave earlier, you can protect yourself! You will be implicated and suffer disaster for him. What’s more, there is a lot of trouble between you two, which is very bad!”

"Monk, don't say any more!" Diao Jun frowned, "No matter whether your words are true or false, no matter what disaster will happen next. My two brothers work hand in hand and will never leave each other behind. It's only the fault of Diao Jun and the monk. , stay here!"

"Wealth is empty, love is also empty. In the life and death of suffering on behalf of others, evil people just want to do it for themselves..." With a sigh, Jia Zhengjin disappeared in an instant.

Diao Jun turned around and found that there was no one around him. When he looked around, there was no trace of Jia Zhengjin. He carefully recalled the words he left and walked down in confusion.

"Ouch!" When we reached the foot of the mountain on the way into the city, we suddenly tripped on something and fell heavily to the ground.

Diao Jun stood up in a hurry, not caring to brush off the dust on his body. He nervously checked the wild vegetables in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.

I lowered my head and suddenly saw a baggage at my feet, which was the culprit of tripping me. I doubtfully reached out and picked it up, only to find that it was extremely heavy.

When I opened it out of curiosity, my eyes widened.

It turned out that there were ten brand new large silver ingots inside the baggage, all of which were twenty taels, a total of two hundred taels!

It was the first time in my life that I saw so much money, and I was completely stunned.

Suddenly I remembered what that monk Jia said, that he was destined to be a gold and silver mountain. Could it be that destiny is finally starting to take effect? But he didn’t leave Brother Shao!

what to do? How to deal with this money?

The person who lost his money must be very anxious, right? Or send it to the government?

right! This is not your own money, so you can't take it. And those with so much money are definitely not ordinary people.

Hand it over to the city gate guards?

no! They are not reliable. What if they keep it secret?

Take it back first, give the wild vegetables to Brother Shao, and then send the money to the government.

correct! What should I do if my baggage and silver ingots cannot be discovered by the gatekeepers?

Looking around, an idea suddenly struck me.

I ran to the roadside and pulled out a lot of hay and tied it into a bundle. I hid the bundle in the middle and covered it so that it could not be seen when I carried it on my shoulders.

The gatekeeper knew that Diao Jun was a poor man, and it was common for him to collect hay to make beds, so he would not check.

Facts have proved that Diao Jun’s method is very effective.

Smoothly passed through the city gate without being stopped, and returned to the land temple safely.

Pushing the door open, I saw Huang Shao sitting on the side in a daze.

"Brother Shao, I dug some wild vegetables, let's fill our stomachs first." Diao Jun put down the hay bundle with silver ingots.

"There is enough hay, why are you wasting your energy?" Huang Shao reacted, took a look at the hay bundle Diao Jun brought back, and showed a puzzled look.

"Squeak~" Diao Jun turned around quickly, carefully closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shao, look!"

He took out the package from the hay bundle and put it in front of Huang Shao.

Opening the package, ten bright silver ingots were shocking.

"Where did this come from?" Huang Shao was shocked.

"I found it outside the city." Diao Jun quickly took it back and stuffed it into the hay bale again. "Brother Shao, the person who lost the silver must be anxious. I want to send it to the government. The government will definitely post a notice and ask the owner to claim it."

"Yeah~" Huang Shao did not object, but nodded with relief, "That's right!"

The brothers are really not greedy for money that does not belong to them.

"Then Brother Shao, you wash and cook the wild vegetables first, and I will go to the government?" Diao Jun carried the hay bale.

"Wait! I'll go with you!" Huang Shao stood up, "Two people are safer."

"That's right, so much silver, if something goes wrong..." Diao Jun nodded in agreement, "Then let's come back and cook the wild vegetables. Let's go to the government."

"Let's go!"
