my dream adventure

Chapter 74 Escape Room (24)

The crowd was crowded, and the old man was surrounded by people. Seeing that he missed the opportunity to escape, the word embarrassment seemed to be engraved on his face. Is life more important, or 3000 yuan?

Of course, this matter does not need to be weighed too much. Selling fake products and defrauding consumers is already a crime, not to mention accidentally causing a pregnant woman to have a miscarriage. One life is a big deal.

Fortunately, the other party's legal awareness is weak, and the fellow villagers have a few alley friendships, and they don't want to make this matter a big deal. After the old glutton paid 3000 yuan, everyone dispersed one after another.

Just when he thought the matter was over, a cold voice suddenly sounded, causing him to tremble violently.

"This uncle, have you ever been to that mountain?" Lin Yuan asked.

Of course he didn't intend to scare him, but after listening to their conversation, he became interested in the "that mountain" they said.

Lao Tao turned around and saw that the other party was a young girl, so he let go of his apprehensive mood and changed into his usual flickering expression.

"Little girl, what did you ask that mountain to do?" He put his hands into his old wide sleeves and said mysteriously.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, and said: "My friend and I heard that this mountain is very famous, so we came here specially to travel here, in order to see the customs and customs of the mountain."

Lao Tao glanced at him sideways, seeing that his expression was calm, it didn't seem like he was lying.

He sneered and said: "I advise you not to go up there, even the people in this town dare not live there, not to mention you are a little girl, if you stay overnight, you will probably go crazy with fright?"

Lao Tao did not avoid the topic like the others, which surprised him a bit. He could also know from the conversation just now that other people did not dare to go up this mountain, but Lao Tao was different. Otherwise, how could he have dug up the poisonous plant? Ginseng?

"Have you been there before? Is there any way to avoid the poison on the mountain?" Lin Yuan asked. If they can find useful clues, they will have more confidence in going up the mountain this time.

"Hehe. Children like you who are not afraid of death, I am too lazy to take care of you." The old man flicked his sleeves, stepped onto the tricycle and left.

Lin Yuan felt puzzled, why did he say it well just now, but now he changed his mind?

Could it be that people despise him as a poor student with no money?

Lin Yuan cleared his throat and shouted: "Ahem, uncle, please stay, we want to hire you as our guide this time!"

The old man didn't stop but laughed and said: "How much money can you give me as a little girl, why should I be a guide?"

"If you can safely bring us down the mountain, when we finish our work, we will naturally give you a decent reward. How much do you want, three digits, four digits?"

When he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately turned his head. The movement was so large that Lin Yuan was afraid that he would break his neck.

"Four digits!" His voice was like a rooster crowing straight into the sky, and his mind quickly flashed through the items that could be purchased for 1 yuan. He even thought of marrying a wife and having children, and even a grandson was born.

Lin Yuan shuddered, thinking, is there any need to exaggerate so much?Isn't it four digits?

He has gotten used to the inexhaustible amount of tickets in Yang Xiaoxiao's wallet, and he has no sense of crisis about money for a long time.

"I didn't lie to you, as long as you take us to that mountain safely, I'll give you 1 yuan. How about it, is this deal easy?" Now that it's up to this point, he also bluntly said that he was not afraid, and immediately Showdown.

The old Tao dragged the tricycle and turned the corner with great difficulty. He did not make a decision easily, but looked up and down the girl in front of him. She was short in stature and delicate in appearance, like a child from a rich family in the city who had no worries about food and clothing.

He couldn't read Lin Yuan's famous brand, but he could deduce from the fabric and delicate stitching, as well as the distorted astronomical letter logos embroidered on the clothes, that the little girl might really be rich.

Lao Tao has always been a principled person, as long as the money is given, he can easily discuss what to do.

It's just that the mountain is very evil. If he didn't have the amulet left by his ancestors on his body, he probably wouldn't be able to step into the mountain for a few hundred meters, and he would be suffocated to death on the spot by the poisonous miasma.

"You can ask me to lead the way, but I can't guarantee the safety of you and your friends." The old man made it clear first, "As for the purpose of your going there, my old man will not pursue it. Never ask."

Lin Yuan was surprised by his directness, this guy is really a businessman, he speaks cleanly, and he is much more negotiable than imagined.

"Well, when do you think it is better to start, my friends and I can also make preparations in advance."

"Tomorrow at noon, I'll come here and wait for you. Remember to put this on, you and your friend each have one, and you must carry it with you." Lao Tao thought for a while, and distributed the amulets to them, after all, the other party is a big benefactor. If something happened to him, he would never get his money.

Lin Yuan took the objects, but they were actually two ordinary-looking black stones, exactly the same as the random rocks that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but when he looked carefully at the light, there was a shallow layer of relief-like patterns.

The two stones have the same pattern, as if they were born naturally, without traces of artificial carving.

"Is this pattern..."

Lin Yuan was startled. He must have seen this shape somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Lao Tao saw that he was fascinated by it, so he answered a little proudly: "It's amazing, this is passed down from my ancestors, I don't know how many generations it has been passed down. If you wear this amulet, you will not be afraid when you enter the mountain." Was poisoned."

"Abo, I suspect that your ancestors traveled through time." Lin Yuan laughed suddenly, bending over while holding his belly, the laughter was exaggerated.

He finally remembered what it was. It turned out to be a precious gift that Ruoruo gave Yuan Shaoguang on his birthday. The hand-sewn panda doll was exactly the same as the pattern on this stone.

Lao Tao said that this is a family heirloom from his ancestors, so what is his ancestors who are not time-travelers? How could such a modern cute design appear in ancient times?
Of course, Lin Yuan didn't bother with this logic issue either. This is a dream world after all, and any mash-up of timelines or even worldlines is entirely possible.

The human subconscious field is not a simple logical order, and it cannot be figured out with common sense thinking.

Lin Yuan silently pocketed the stone, and took the initiative to put the remaining 2000 yuan in the hands of the old man, telling him that he only had this little cash on hand, and after they finished their work, he went down the mountain to the bank to pay the rest. Gold to him.

The old man clutched the pile of money and nodded involuntarily, with a flattering smile on his face. He was a little suspicious of the little girl before, but now he completely believes that the other party can afford the money.

Taking a risk and earning the money that can only be exchanged for a few years of picking up garbage and collecting waste products, not to mention a greedy example like the old glutton, even ordinary people, probably can't stand the temptation.
