Chapter 1066
When Zhang Cai and the others heard this, their expressions changed. Two years ago, they had tested the power of the jade talisman in front of Zhang Xiaohua. At that time, they had used hoes and wooden sticks to test it, but … they had never used fire. Could this jade talisman withstand fire?
Seeing that his threat was effective, the boss laughed sinisterly, "I know that your son is a disciple of some Misty School. It is normal for him to have these strange things in his hands.
I am only after money. If you hand over the gold and silver, I will spare your lives! "
Zhang Cai looked at Guo Sufei, then at Zhang Xiaolong, and then at the sky. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hero, since you have said it so clearly, Xiaolong, go … go … dig out those things for the heroes!"
"What things?"
Guo Sufei blurted out. Liu Qian was also stunned. She blinked at her mother-in-law, thinking that this was also an act just like before.
Who knew that Zhang Xiaolong pulled Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, come here!"
Xiaohua did not know what was going on. She followed Zhang Xiaolong to the corner of the wall. The bandits surrounding them had greedy eyes and quickly moved aside.
The two of them walked to the corner of the wall and picked up two hoes. They turned around and went to the small house where Zhang Xiaohua was. The small house was by the wall and there was no light at all. Therefore, the bandits did not even look at it.
Seeing the two of them enter the small house, the bandits were happy. Needless to say, the things must be there.
Liu Qian's face was ashen. She had been nervous all this time, but she insisted on not looking at the small house because her son, Zhang Bairen, was inside. She had been trying her best to stay calm and put on an act to make the bandits pay attention to her and ensure her son's safety.
Now that she saw Zhang Xiaolong going to the house, her heart was beating wildly. She shouted, "Xiaolong, you …"
Guo Sufei was the same. She glared at Zhang Cai and was secretly worried about her Zhang Xiaohua.
When Zhang Xiaolong and Ji Xiaohua entered the hut, Zhang Xiaolong immediately rushed to the Kang in the dark. He didn't care whether Zhang Xiaohua would be possessed by the devil or not. He pulled him down from the Kang and threw him into the broken cupboard at the corner of the Kang. Then he threw Bairen into Zhang Xiaohua's arms. Little Black and Little Yellow waved their hands and moved them to their sides. Zhang Xiaolong also pulled a quilt over their heads.
Little Black and Little Yellow opened their eyes, but when they saw that it was Zhang Xiaolong, they ignored him and closed their eyes again.
Just as Zhang Xiaolong was done, the bandits' torches entered the hut!
"Eh?
Someone lives in this house? "The bandit looked around.
"I'm the one who lives here!" Ji Xiaohua answered honestly.
"Yes." The bandit looked around and didn't suspect anything. After all, the bandit disguised as a beggar only found out that there were five people in the Zhang Family.
"Is it underground?" The boss entered the hut and looked down at the ground. He frowned.
"Yes, hero. But you must keep your promise. As long as you take away the treasures, you don't need our lives!"
Zhang Xiaolong asked as a matter of routine. The bandit boss also answered as a matter of routine, "I'm a man of my word. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sent here by the chief. You can rest assured!"
"Sigh …" Zhang Xiaolong sighed. He spat on his palms and weakly dug on the ground of the hut …
"You, call Xiaohua Ji. Hurry up!" Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong was slow, the bandit instructed Xiaohua Ji.
Xiaohua Ji was holding a hoe. She walked to Zhang Xiaolong's side and started digging. Although she didn't know what Zhang Xiaolong meant, she worked with Zhang Xiaolong on a daily basis. She could tell that Zhang Xiaolong didn't use any strength. Of course, she did her work lightly.
After half a meal's time, they only managed to dig a shallow hole in the ground of the hut.
"You …" The bandit boss saw this and wanted to threaten them. But looking at the gradually brightening sky, he waved his hand and said, "You two come here and help them!"
The two bandits took over Zhang Xiaolong and Xiaohua Ji's hoes and started digging with all their might.
"Youngest, how's the situation in the village?" The boss didn't forget to ask.
"Boss, don't worry. This village is no different from other villages. They are all timid. No one dares to make a sound. They can't wait for us to rob the Zhang Family and leave quickly!"
"Oh right, boss, this … I didn't see the Zhang Family's little Boy in the next house!"
"Eh?" The boss looked up and looked at Zhang Xiaolong. "Where did your son go?"
Zhang Xiaolong rolled his eyes and didn't answer at all.
The boss was annoyed. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard the sound of the hoes in front of him hitting the wooden planks.
"Boss, found it!" The bandit said excitedly.
"Quick, come and help!"
The boss waved his hand and the bandits picked up all kinds of weapons and came over. They had already forgotten about asking about Zhang Bairen.
Not long after, a huge box was dug out of the ground by the bandits. Although these bandits were already prepared, when they saw the gold in the box, they were still … stunned for a long time …
"Pa!" The boss slapped the face of the bandit next to him. The bandit woke up with a start and held his face. "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Does it hurt?" The boss asked.
"Of course … it hurts!"
"Are you dreaming?"
"Boss … can't you use your face to test it?" The bandit mumbled and couldn't help but continue to stare at the gold.
"Quick, it's almost dawn. Don't let too many people find out. Quickly take all the gold!"
The boss confirmed that this was not a dream. He was so happy that his voice was trembling. He nagged, "Everyone take some and divide it when we get to Xicui Mountain!
Damn it, if I knew that the Zhang Family was so rich, I would have brought a big carriage over!
I … have lived for so many years, but … I have never seen so much gold!
I'm afraid … I'm afraid that Zhang Xiaohu will take all the gold from the Misty School! "
When the bandits saw this, they all went forward and took the sacks to take away all the gold. Guo Sufei and Liu Qian, who were standing outside the door, were already in a daze. They did not know that their family was actually so … rich!
After the bandits finished dividing the gold, they turned to Zhang Cai and said, "You old man, you really … can pretend. You gave me so many silver notes, but this gold ingot … can't even compare to it …"
Zhang Cai was anxious. He looked at the sky and smiled apologetically. "Hero, please spare our lives. We … have a poor life. We took so much gold, but we don't know how to spend it.
Now that you have taken it, can we … leave now?
We promise that we won't report this to the authorities! "
"Hehe, good plan …" The boss grinned and looked at Liu Qian. "I only said that I will spare your lives, but I didn't say …"
Liu Qian was so scared that she took a step back. Zhang Xiaolong quickly said, "Hero, if … I give you another … box … can you be merciful?"
"Ah?
There's more!!! "The bandits were stunned, and the greed in their eyes grew stronger.
"Quick, dig again, quickly dig!"
This time, the boss was smart. He didn't look for Zhang Xiaolong and Ji Xiaohua. Instead, he asked the two bandits to do it themselves. In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, another chest was dug out. When it was opened, a dazzling array of jewelry dazzled everyone.
"Dig again …" The boss waved his hand decisively.
In the time it took to finish a meal, the remaining three chests were also dug out.
"Take it!!!"
The boss didn't have time to be surprised and immediately ordered. But … the bandits didn't move. Nonsense, three boxes full of gold and two boxes full of jewels. Each box must be at least two thousand pounds.
Five boxes would be ten thousand pounds.
Not to mention whether the sacks could hold it, these bandits each had to take about five hundred pounds of gold and jewels. How could they take it?
In the past, they were afraid that there was too little gold and jewels. But now … they complained that there was too much gold and jewels. But if they only took fifty pounds, do you think … they would be willing?
The crazy bandits clenched their teeth. Looking at so much gold and jewels, they couldn't bear to part with them.
At this time, the youngest came over and said, "Boss … it seems that we were wrong. You were right. This Misty School's wealth is probably all here.
You think … "
"Damn it, I … why didn't I bring a carriage?" The boss was extremely regretful.
Then, he rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, "How about this, let's bury these boxes first!"
"Ah?
Why? "The bandits didn't want to. How could they bear to bury them?
"Idiot, we can't take them away. Why don't we bury them?" The boss said angrily, "Quick!"
"You, you, and you, you three quickly bury the boxes!"
The boss pointed and waved the weapon in his hand. He said fiercely, "The rest of you, take your weapons and chase these five people to the central room!"
Dozens of bandits divided the work and chased Zhang Cai and the other four to the central room.
"Are you done?" The boss asked.
"Yes!"
"Good, then prepare to set fire!" The boss grinned.
"Set fire?" The youngest asked curiously, "Boss, you don't want that girl anymore?"
"Nonsense, with so much gold and silver, where can't you find a beautiful girl?
Besides, the Misty School has all the gold, silver, and jewelry. Zhang Xiaohu must be someone in the Misty School. Although the Misty School is gone now, there's no guarantee that someone will come looking for her in the future. Why would I keep her around? "
"Then let's just kill them all!"
"Nonsense, aren't I killing them now?
Can you kill them with a knife? "
Boss grumpily said, "Let's set the Zhang family on fire first. First, we can burn them to death. Second, we can cover up the traces of our digging. After two days, when no one is paying attention to this place, we'll drive a carriage over and dig up the boxes underground!"
"Brilliant!" Everyone gave him a thumbs up.
In the central room, everyone was burning with anxiety. Looking at the gradually brightening window sill, they hoped that Zhang Xiaohua would wake up quickly, but they were also afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would be no match for the bandits when she woke up and would die for nothing!
Hearing the vicious plan of the bandits of Xicui Mountain, everyone's heart sank. The house must be burned, and Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Bairen's lives would not be spared!
With a "bang", the bandits threw the torches in their hands on the pile of wheat straw next to the house. The fire immediately burned fiercely, and in a moment, the house was set ablaze …
At this time, the sky was bright, and the sun shone into the house like fire …
