Chapter 375: Young Master He and the Shark Tail (14)

"Because only half of those rumors are true." He Yuanhong said, "That ancient tomb may have really been discovered by the farmer when he was digging his own vegetable cellar, and he may have really taken the things to our He family's pawnshop to exchange for money, but according to my father's temperament, when he saw that kind of good thing, he at most fooled the farmer, pressed the pawn money very low, and persuaded him to take all the remaining things, and then he sold them himself." But in the process of changing hands, someone was eyeing that batch of things, my father, and the ancient tomb of the former dynasty that had not yet been excavated. ”

"When you say that, it seems that your father is very weak." Bai Li muttered quietly.

"My dad is very weak." He Yuanhong had a shallow smile in his voice, "My father always thinks more than he does, and talks more than he does." No one in this Huaxi town knows that our He family's business is all supported by my mother. My dad has a lot of ambition but not enough ability, so what I said is more like he can do it. It's just that those people are inconvenient to show up in Huaxi Town, so they chose my father, and these things naturally fell on my father. As for my father, he is a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and he can't say what he suffers. ”

"Is the tomb huge? It's not like it hasn't been hollowed out for so many years. ”

"The tomb was hollowed out in less than half a year, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were secretly transported to Beijing, and I don't know who it fell into. The reason why there is still the current Hejiabao is because they found something more precious than gold, silver and jewelry in the ancient tomb. ”

"What's that?"

"Two strange books, one of which contains all kinds of strange medicines, most of them poisons. The other one records how to capture monsters for domestication. These are obviously more alluring to those than gold and silver jewelry. ”

"Seeing the blood sealing the throat, and the merman?"

"Not bad." He Yuanhong nodded, "They divided Hejiabao into two parts, the ground is for people to live in, and the ground is reinforced and expanded on the basis of the original ancient tomb, and it is divided into two parts. Part of it is used to refine demons, and the other part is used to imprison the demon beasts they caught. ”

"Chanqing? Is Chanqing a monster caught by them? Do you know Chanqing? Do you know she likes you? Hearing the words of the captured demon beast, Bai Li hurriedly asked a series of questions.

Hearing Chanqing's two words, He Yuanhong was silent, and was silent for a long, long time.

"You know Chanqing, right? Did you let them catch Chanqing? ”

"It's not!" He Yuanhong denied softly, "Late one night, I suddenly received news that I was asked to go to Beihai overnight to pick up a batch of sea goods. There are three types of seafood, one is seafood, which is fish and shrimp produced in the sea, but this usually does not require me to come forward. One is treasures, such as deep-sea pearls, coral trees, and the like, as well as things that fishmen have fished up from the bottom of the sea. These things should be divided into grades, low-grade ones, I don't need to come forward, because they usually dispose of them locally, and only extremely precious, particularly high-grade ones need me to come forward and bring them back and escort them to Beijing. But I only sent it to the suburbs of Beijing, and I didn't enter the capital, and the people who came to pick up the goods usually didn't show their true colors, so I had no way of knowing the real identity of the other party. But those who can do this are by no means ordinary people in the capital. ”

"And what about the third one? What is the third one? ”

"The third type is usually what the local fishermen call the Siren, that is, the merman." He Yuanhong explained, "I took a horse-drawn carriage overnight and then changed to a boat to Beihai, but when I arrived, they told me that the Kraken had disappeared. ”

"What does it mean to be gone?"

"Escaped!" He Yuanhong smiled and shook his head, "We all do things for those people, and naturally we all know their style of doing things, if we let those people know that they are not good at taking care of them and let the kraken escape, there is a chance that we will die." It's not so much that it's not good to take care of yourself, but that the Kraken has disappeared. The Kraken always knows some magic tricks, so it's not surprising that it disappeared. I know, but I don't want to pursue it, because I'm just a hired person just like them. When I came back from the North Sea, I only symbolically brought back a blue sea fish that was not easy to see in the shallow sea, which was regarded as a payment to the above. ”

"What about Chanqing? From beginning to end, you didn't talk about Chanqing. ”

"Chanqing's matter has nothing to do with me picking up the Kraken." He Yuanhong continued: "Chanqing was met when I came back from a trip to the capital. At that time, the weather was similar to now, it rained lightly for several days, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and our carriage was damaged by the slipping stones on the road, which affected the normal driving, and we had to go to the nearby villages and towns to rest. Chanqing, that's what I met in that town. ”

"Is she a slave girl?"

"Pretty much." He Yuanhong recalled: "She was chained and locked in a cage made of broken wood. The hair was messy, with a hint of green, as if he had been in the grass for a long time. The clothes on his body were made of ragged linen, tattered, almost unclothed, but few people could see it. In addition to being dirty, it was also because she had a bad smell all over her. The smell is a little unbearable for people who have never seen the sea, but as long as you have been to the beach and come into contact with local fishermen, you can only know that it is the taste of the deep sea. ”

"The Chanqing you described is too embarrassing, isn't it? Aren't all mermaids good-looking? ”

"Frankly speaking, Chanqing at that time, you couldn't tell whether she was good-looking or not, because most people had been smoked away by the smell of the sea on her body before they could see her appearance clearly. The rest of the people, even if they want to see clearly, can't help it, because her face is dirty, and her seaweed-like hair directly covers her entire face. ”

"Then why did you buy her?"

"Because she called me, she begged me to save her." He Yuanhong got up, "I originally just looked at it a few more times, because I couldn't smell this kind of sea smell in the inland town, I thought that she might have come from the coast, but for some reason it fell into the hands of those people and was sold in public." I'm not a nosy person, nor am I a kind-hearted, benevolent person, I didn't plan to save her, I just joined in the fun like those onlookers. But just as I was about to leave, Chanqing, who was locked in a cage, suddenly called me Young Master He and begged me to save her. ”

"Young Master He? How did Chanqing know what your surname was, and how would she call you Young Master He? ”

"I don't know." He Yuanhong's gaze fell on Bai Li's face through the dim space. "Maybe she heard me talking to me. At least, that's what I thought at the time. There were a lot of people at the scene, and the environment was very noisy, I think she can recognize the voice of the little girl among the many voices, and accurately call me Young Master, then she must be a person with excellent hearing. I needed such ears, so I paid for her and sold them. ”
