24. Five hundred taels of silver buried here

Twenty-four, five hundred taels of silver buried here

After passing Shanxi Ferry, a group of eight people continued to head southeast, crossed a mountain, and suddenly felt empty before their eyes, but they saw mountains stretching across the four sides, with thousands of acres of flat land surrounding the middle. This large fertile small plain should have been alluvialized by the Fengxi River for many years.

Zhou Xuanle lived on horses and couldn't help but burst into tears. This is the land where he was born and raised here. Xiyan, Miaoshan, and the Thumbridge Mountain in the distance. Fengxi River flowed from the foot of Miaoshan. Compared with a thousand years later, the landform has not changed much. However, there is no family in this large area of ​​land, all of which are wasteland and fertile land.

Fairy Jingyi felt the hot water drops on her neck. When she looked up, Zhou Xuan's eyes were filled with tears. She immediately remained motionless, not disturbing Zhou Xuan's mood at this time.

Lin Hanyun laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Zhou Xuan cried, but I didn't expect Brother Zhou Xuan to cry too!"

Zhou Xuan was touching the handkerchief on his body, but no, a white hand reached in front of him, and his jade fingers were picking up a silk handkerchief. Zhou Xuan took it, wiped his tears, and shouted: "I, Hu Hansan, are back!"

Lin Hanyun said strangely: "Who is Hu Hansan?"

Zhou Xuan laughed "haha" and held the reins in one hand, hugged Fairy Jingyi's slender waist with the other hand, rode his horse down the mountain, and went all the way to the Fengxi River at the foot of the mountain, jumped off the horse, and helped Fairy Jingyi off the horse, pointing to the plain wilderness on the other side and said, "Sister Daoyun, the other side of the river is the place where my ancestors live. Although I have never been here, I have heard it since I was a child, and I often dreamed that when I see it now, it is exactly the same as what I see in my dreams, but there are fewer families."

Fairy Jingyi looked at Zhou Xuan's melancholy and sad look and said softly: "Brother Xuan, your Zhou family members can return to their ancestral homes after going overseas for hundreds of years. It is God's favor for you. You must be happy."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Sister is right. I want to live happily until I die of old age."

Sanchi then arrived and jumped off the horse with the inn guy.

Zhou Xuan asked the mate: "Where is the ferry here? I want to cross the river to worship my ancestors."

The guy was familiar with this area and said, "The ferry is still upstream, and it takes about ten miles to walk, but there is a small stone dam in front of it. Now the water is shallow, so you can flow through the stone dam."

Lin Hanyun said happily: "I like to flow through water."

Zhou Xuan said: "Go and take a look, if the water is not deep, it will flow over."

The guy led the way. Everyone walked up the clear Fengxi River for more than a mile and saw a clear convex mark on the river, and the small stone dam was there.

The guy took off his straw sandals, lifted his poor pants above his knees, went down the river to explore the way, the water only reached his knees, and turned around and shouted, "It's easy, come here."

Lin Hanyun and Xiao Xun had already sat on the bluestone by the river, took off their embroidered shoes and cloth socks, held their skirts and held their hands in the river, and walked along the pebbles on the dam.

Fairy Jingyi called out: "Hanyun be careful."

Lin Hanyun replied: "It's okay, it's easy to walk on. The water is cold and it's so comfortable. Sister, please let Zhou Xuan lead you across the river."

Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Daoyun, you ride on the horse, I will lead you over."

Sanchi said: "It is not good to ride a horse across the river, the horse's hooves are easy to slip, and the young lady will fall down if she is not stable on her riding."

Fairy Jingyi said, "I'm also going through like Hanyun and them."

When Xiahou Liusu saw that Zhou Xuan was only caring for Fairy Jingyi and ignored her, she was so resentful that she sat on the bluestone on the shore and took off her shoes and socks, leading her horse across the river alone.

Zhou Xuan looked at Xiahou Liusu's back and smiled, and said to himself: "Do you, a female spy, want me to spoil you in every way!"

Sanchi and Lai Fu led the "Black Rose", "Crane in the Cloud" and their own mounts across the river.

Zhou Xuan and Fairy Jingyi landed at the end. Zhou Xuan tucked the hem of the long gown around his waist, rolled up his trousers, and looked at Fairy Jingyi on one side shyly taking off his shoes and socks. His slender feet were as frost and snow, his toenails were like petals, and his ankle bones were delicate and moving. His naked calf curves were soft, his skin was so white and tender that he was so beautiful that he was blown. Even his knees were delicate and cute—

Fairy Jingyi saw Zhou Xuan’s eyes as if it were torched, and her naked beautiful feet couldn’t help but spasm and contract, and said half ashamed and half angrily: “Brother Xuan——”

Zhou Xuan said the truth: "My sister's feet are so beautiful. Come on, I will lead my sister across the river."

Zhou Xuan went down to the water first and reached out and said, "Sister is coming down."

Fairy Jingyi grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand and carefully went into the water, saying, "It's so cool."

Zhou Xuan said: "When I was a child, I often stayed in this river-" and said: "I used to dream of swimming and playing in this river."

Fairy Jingyi felt that Xuan Di was a bit strange, but she didn't have time to pay attention to those things now. She was all in Zhou Xuan's hands and under her feet. Zhou Xuan's hands were warm and powerful, and she grabbed her firmly, while the pebbles under her feet were so cool and smooth.

It is very common to cross the river, but it is extremely novel for Fairy Jingyi, the lady of the Protectorate's Mansion, and it is also Xuandi pulling her across the river, which makes her feel very deep.

The group of people flowed across Fengxi River and put on their shoes and socks and rode on horses. Now they don’t need that guy to lead the way. Zhou Xuan took advantage of the four peaks to locate the mountain and ran towards the southeast. He didn’t care about trampling on the rice fields, and rushed straight and ran for more than three miles, trying to find the exact location of his hometown’s old house, but the vast fields were so far away that it was impossible to find so accurately, so he could only be in the general direction.

This is a large area of ​​uncultivated wasteland, with chaotic trees and weeds.

Zhou Xuan got off the horse and told Fairy Jingyi not to go down, for fear that there would be snakes. He led the horse around and knelt down on his knees under a big camphor tree. He cried bitterly and shouted: "Dad, mom, my son will never go back! I will never go back!"

Sanchi, Lai Fu and others arrived one after another, silently watching Zhou Xuan kneel under the camphor tree for a long time. After a while, Zhou Xuan got up and whispered a few words to Sanchi. Sanchi asked the mate to take him to see the ferry and rode a horse far away.

Zhou Xuan took out two small hoes, brought them from the inn, and dug a deep pit under the camphor tree with Lai Fu, buried a big mouth urn brought on the back of Lai Fu's mount into the pit. There were 500 taels of silver and a set of Yue Kiln celadon tea cups in the jar. I hope that they were dug up by their Zhou family in a thousand years and make a fortune. Haha, Nantang porcelain, let's make a sensation!

After Zhou Xuan buried the big-mouthed urn, he made some disguises on it and spread some broken branches and leaves. The Lin sisters and Xiahou Liusu watched him do all this strangely. Lin Hanyun asked: "Brother Zhou Xuan, why do you bury such a little silver and teacup? If you want to bury it, you should bury it more. 10,000 taels into it and hide the treasure."

Zhou Xuan said: "It's enough, five hundred taels are enough. Let's leave it for those who are destined to be in the future. Let's go and you can go back."

Fairy Jingyi asked: "Brother Xuan, have you considered sacrifice to the ancestors?"

Zhou Xuan said: "This is a small sacrifice. I will hold a large sacrifice when I find the Zhou clan ancestral hall."

After leading the horse out of the wild land, Zhou Xuan was a little reluctant to leave and looked back frequently. He knew that it would be impossible for him to come again in this life. He was really wandering alone for thousands of years away.

It was almost noon, and the weather was extremely stuffy and there were dark clouds in the southeast of the distance.

Zhou Xuan said: "It may rain heavily in the afternoon, so let's go back quickly."

Everyone returned to the original Xiaoshiba and shouted: "It's bitter!" Less than an hour later, the river water soared three feet, not as clear as before, but became turbid, and the water flow became much larger.

Zhou Xuan said: "It rained heavily upstream, and the Fengxi River has risen. You can't cross here anymore. Cross the river from the ferry."

Sanchi and the gang came here soon, and also talked about the rise in water, and immediately ran towards the ferry.

The ferryman guarding the ferry over there was a hunchbacked old man with bronze skin and bones. He said, "If the ferry is later, the ferry will be closed. The water will rise and the bigger it will be, and you can't hold the boat."

Zhou Xuan and his eight people crossed the river and rushed to the road.

After rebirth, and rehabilitation for the second time, Fairy Jingyi was a little used to Zhou Xuan riding with her. She felt very relieved and relied on her. Suddenly, she heard Zhou Xuan sigh loudly and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xuan?"

Zhou Xuan sighed and laughed again, saying, "It's nothing. I remembered the money buried in it, which guy who is lazy to eat or drink is very likely to be cheap."

Fairy Jingyi smiled sweetly: "That was also given by your Marquis Zhou."

It was only after crossing the river that Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that when he was a child, a neighbor named Huang, suddenly became rich. The man surnamed Huang was idle and lazy, and could not live a life. He wanted to sell a young son of the same year as Zhou Xuan, but suddenly became rich in a certain month. Rumor had rumored that he had dug up silver dollars.

Zhou Xuan understood that what silver dollars were found by the man surnamed Huang? It was clearly the five hundred taels of silver he buried. It was so ridiculous. Could it be that the five hundred taels of silver in the old Zhou family were not lucky enough to save it? By the way, there was also a set of Yue Kiln celadon tea cups that seemed to have also been seen in the old Huang family. The old Huang family used tea to make tea and entertain guests. Two of them had broken handles. That was a national treasure!

Zhou Xuan laughed and sighed, and said, "Yes, let me count it as I gave it to him."

Dark clouds spread from the sky behind everyone, and dark clouds emerged from all sides to echo, and in a blink of an eye, they formed a whole, covering the entire sky tightly.

A heavy rain is approaching.

The guy said, "The rain is about to fall. Should I find a place to shelter from the rain first?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Then you need to say, you lead the way."

The guy said: "There is only the Xie Manor nearby, but the Xie family is very arrogant. Is Mr. Zhou going?"
