Strange World Survival Manual

"Why is this so?" The middle-aged servant was a little strange. Since it was okay for others to be greedy, why did his own old man get into trouble when he was greedy?

"Let me tell you in detail. Although the old man's political achievements have always been good and the people are living well under his rule, he is also famous for his greed. He often robs merchants along the way to make money, so that people who come to Beiqing Mansion The businessman is in constant pain and hates it extremely.”

"In the third year after he took office as the prefect, a Taoist came to the door and wanted to see the old man. He said he wanted to give the old man a treasure."

"But the gate of the prefecture is not so easy to enter. At that time, the gatekeeper would not let him in at all. But at this time, the old man came back. He thought that this man was also interesting, so he took him into the mansion to see him alone. See you."

"After the man met with the old man, he took out a golden toad and said that this is the treasure."

"When the old man saw this man bringing out a golden toad, he became a little angry. He felt that this man was really fooling him, so he wanted to ask someone to drive him out."

"But the Taoist stopped him immediately, and then pointed at the golden toad. The old man was surprised to find that the golden toad was spitting out a coin."

"Then he picked up the coin and looked at it, and found that the coin was actually made of gold. Then he continued to look at the golden toad, only to find that it was still spitting out the gold coin."

"Then the old man became greedy and asked the Taoist to give him the golden toad, but the Taoist wanted 383,621 taels of silver. As soon as this number was reported, the old man was shocked. .”

"Because he just checked the accounts not long ago, and there happened to be only 383,621 taels of silver in his house. How could the old man give this money? Naturally he refused."

"But he wanted the golden toad again, so he had an idea and immediately asked someone to beat the man out and rob him of the golden toad."

"The Taoist was indeed beaten out, but within a few days, all the money in the house was stolen, which happened to be 383,621 taels of silver. This made the old man very angry, and he understood This is most likely related to that Taoist priest."

"I immediately sent people to arrest the Taoist priest, but they turned the entire Beiqing Mansion upside down, but the Taoist priest was not even seen."

"Then the old man stopped looking. He also knew that he had met an expert. Fortunately, the golden toad was still spitting out money every day, so it was not considered a loss, so he stopped pursuing it."

"But who knew that one day when the old man was feeding the golden toad, the golden toad actually jumped out of the cage. The old man became anxious and went to catch it. However, the golden toad jumped faster. The old man kept No one can catch up."

"So the old man called the people in the mansion to catch him. However, the golden toad was very dexterous and was never caught. He jumped from the bedroom to the hall, then from the hall to the front door, and finally jumped out from the front door."

"But what's strange is that no matter how hard the old man and the others chased, they couldn't catch up with the golden toad. Then the golden toad jumped over the downtown area, jumped over the city gate, and finally jumped to the Shaqing River next to Beiqing Mansion. .”

"With a final pop, he jumped directly into the river."

"This..." The middle-aged servant was a little surprised and speechless, and then asked: "What happened next?"

The young servant picked up the gourd "Gulu" and "Gulu" from the side and drank some water to relieve the dryness of his throat, and then continued: "At that time, the old man was already chasing after him, so naturally he jumped into the Shaqing River. "

"Then the old man is dead?"

"Of course, the depth of Sha Qingjiang is bottomless. How can a person survive if he jumps into it?"

"Then even if this is the case, it is impossible for the Zhou family to decline like this." The middle-aged servant said.

"Hey, of course it's impossible to fall so easily, but the weird things that happened afterwards caused the Zhou family's fall."

"It is said that when the old man was picked up after death, he looked like a toad, with bulging eyes, a crooked mouth, a fat belly, short limbs, and a body covered with dense knots like a toad."

"At that time, because many people saw the scene of the old man chasing the toad, they all followed him and saw the scene of the old man being picked up. At this time, the Beiqing Mansion exploded, everyone was frightened, and the court ordered Send officials to investigate.”

"But who knew that the cause of the old man's death was not found, but the old man's corruption was found. At this time, the Zhou Mansion was immediately ransacked, and the Zhou Mansion fell into decline."

Having said this, the young servant looked at the middle-aged servant who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, so he chuckled. Apparently, he was very impressed by the middle-aged servant's expression.

But he was obviously still a little dissatisfied, so he released another more surprising news: "It is said that after the old man died, Beiqing Mansion began to be haunted. The sound of toads in the middle of the night could be heard throughout Beiqing Mansion. Several people died at that time. Ten people.”

"They all looked like the old man when they died. They were all like toads. The people who did the autopsy found that these people were all drowned. This is very strange, because they were all at home, so how could they drown?" die."

"You can ask this when you meet people from Beiqing Mansion in the future. This matter has caused such a big fuss that even the government can't suppress it."

"This... this matter, it's better not to talk about it now." The middle-aged servant shuddered and looked around, feeling like a ghost.

"Hehe..." The young servant chuckled, which made it easier for the middle-aged servant to talk about other things, and then time passed like this little by little.

But what the two of them didn't see was that at some point, the eyes of the Bodhisattva statue in the main hall had turned into two bloodshot eyeballs, staring at them intently.

Then time passed quickly, and not long after, it was dark and Li Si woke up.

He stood up and stretched, then patted the dust on his body, then dusted off the clothes he used as a pillow, and put them in the book box.

And his movement also woke up some people on the opposite side, who were looking at him with vigilant eyes.

Li Si ignored these people and walked out of the temple under the gaze of these people. After he went out, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. The air after the rain seemed particularly fresh, and he could smell the smell of vegetation in the air. , making people feel extremely comfortable.

Then without any hesitation, he bypassed the carriage and walked down the mountain, arriving at the official road in a short while.

After arriving at the official road, Li Si carefully identified the direction and walked towards Jingning County.

The official road at this time was not that easy to walk, and he would encounter puddles from time to time. In order to avoid the puddles, he walked much slower.

On the way, he also took out dry food from the book box to eat, but as he walked, he felt something was not right.
