Chapter 70 Insufficient people

Huo Xiangu was startled by her brother's words, but she had been preparing for so long, how could she give up so easily just because of this warning?

The little brother ignored her question and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Huo Xiangu sighed slightly, her expression hard to conceal her exhaustion, but now was the most critical time, and she couldn't rest yet.

Three days later, the people who stayed at the foot of the mountain sent the photos from Siguniang Mountain up the mountain.

More supplies came with them. What surprised Zhang Zhu was that he saw Huo Zhixing, who had not seen him bubbling for a long time, in the team transporting supplies.

Huo Zhixing noticed that someone was looking at him, turned around and saw that it was Zhang Zhuxun, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

After lunch, Huo Zhizhi came to see Zhang Zhu and the other three, saying that the old lady had asked them to pick out supplies.

When Zhang Zhuxun and the others arrived, a team had already gathered outside the warehouse tent. Huo Xiuxiu was wearing an off-white jacket and carrying a backpack. She greeted the three of them in a natural manner, with no trace of emotion on her face.

A slight flaw.

Zhang Zhuoxun smiled without any surprise. Mrs. Huo's training methods were indeed first-rate. She could completely change a person's habits in just a few days. At least there were no loopholes on the surface.
After entering the tent, I saw Huo Xiangu herself.

Different from the elegant and luxurious appearance in the past, this time she also put on adventure clothes that are more convenient for movement.

Seeing Zhang Zhuoxun and the others coming in, Huo Xiangu pointed to the three sets of equipment that had been sorted on the other side and said, "Check it. If there is no problem, put it on. We will set off soon."

The fat man was a little surprised when he saw her capable appearance, ready to jump up and fight at any time, "I'm not telling you, old lady, you said you are so old, so stop following us young people around.

If you get a bump somewhere or break a bone, it's all a loss. We're stuck in this mountain col, and even if you want to send me to the hospital, you won't be able to make it in time."

Huo Xiangu had no expression on her face and didn't want to talk to him. She turned to Zhang Zhu and said, "These biochemical protective suits are made of the most advanced material technology in the world. They are fully enclosed and resistant to alkali powder corrosion. However, there are some in the ancient building.

There was a lot of alkaline gas, so I had people prepare five sets for everyone as preparation."

Zhang Zhuxun randomly picked one and checked the sealing, and said: "It's okay, that's it."

Huo Xiangu clapped her hands gently, and Huo Zhizhi opened the curtain and came in, saying respectfully: "Master, everything is ready."

"Okay." Huo Xiangu nodded and stood up with a crested crutch. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the fat man's voice.

"We'll wait a minute." The fat man raised his hand and said with a serious expression, "Old lady, don't think my words are unpleasant. If you want to fight, I'll do it. But if there is someone who is both good and bad, let's do it before.

Didn’t the promised commission go to waste?”

"Although what I said may not be pleasant to the ears, it is also true, don't you think so."

"Either you just stay up there and be your old Buddha and let Huo Xiuxiu come down with us, or you have to settle the commission for us in advance. There is still a big family behind the fat man waiting to be fed.

Well, do you think this is true?" What the fat man said is reasonable and well-founded.

He is different now than before. When he was alone, he could feed himself and the whole family was not hungry. Now he has his sister and father-in-law to support him. There will be a big family in the future, and they can't all eat after him.

I didn’t finish my last meal, and drank the northwest wind to stuff my teeth.

Huo Xiangu didn't feel offended and nodded, "What you said makes sense. Zhizhi, go and do the math and give my share first."

Huo Zhizhi nodded in agreement and glared at the fat man fiercely before walking out.

The fat man laughed, "This little bastard, was he staring at me just now?" Then he rolled up his sleeves and kicked him out.

Zhang Zhuxun pulled him and patted his arm comfortingly, "Why are you arguing with a little brat? Just get the money. I heard you talking to Yuncai two days ago about developing tourism in Banai. I guess in the future,

It really costs a lot of money. If you don’t have enough, I’ll give you my share.”

"So loyal!" The fat man put his arms around Zhang Chuxun's shoulders and squeezed hard, and said with a smile, "When A-mei and I get married, the child must recognize you as his godfather."

Huo Xiangu watched them chatting and laughing happily. Remembering what her younger brother had said before, she changed the subject and said, "You can take the money, but you must get the things for me. It is only fair that the money and goods are paid in full."
p>

The smile on Zhang Zhuoxun's face faded slightly, and he said calmly: "What if there is actually nothing in it that you want?"

"If they think there is, then there must be." Huo Xiangu said calmly.

This is very unreasonable. Who knows what those crazy people want to get from the ancient building.

Zhang Shuxun was a little unhappy, "Old lady, we agreed before, but this is not the case. Your sudden change of heart is really immoral."

Huo Xiangu narrowed her eyes slightly, "What, you want to regret it?"

The old fox finally revealed her cunning nature, "Don't forget, Wu Xie now, without Wu Sansheng's support, if he wants to take over those stalls, none of Wu Sansheng's old subordinates will be able to save fuel.

Lamp."

"Although Zhong Ling is not your opponent, it is still possible to delay for some time. With Wu Xie's methods, how many rounds do you think he can last in front of those guys?"

Zhang Zhuxun turned cold and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Huo Xiangu took a sip of tea and wrote lightly: "A temporary attempt to scare the monkeys can only have a temporary effect. No matter how effective the smoke bomb is, it will eventually be discovered."

Zhang Chuxun and his younger brother came to pick a scene and destroy the signboard, which can only be postponed for a while. As long as Wu Sansheng doesn't show up for a day, people's hearts will be shaken sooner or later. Once those people know that this is a scam, they will immediately counterattack.

At that time, Wu Xiaoxie will be swallowed up by them and nothing will be left.

There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Zhang Shuxun's mouth, "Old lady, I think you may not understand one thing. Although I am very grateful to you for telling me about Zhang Menyu, it does not mean that you can use this to manipulate me. What's more,

Not to mention using Wu Xie to threaten me, if I want to deal with Huo Xiuxiu, I have many methods."

"As long as she is still in this world, I will definitely be able to find her. Where can I hide?"

Huo Xiangu slammed her palm on the table and glared, "How dare you!"

Zhang Zhuxun raised his hand and pressed it on the corner of the table, exerting force on his hand. He looked down at her condescendingly with his height advantage, "You can try it."

If the human heart is not enough, the snake will swallow the elephant, and the world will end with the mantis catching the cicada. It is not good to be too greedy.

Huo Xiangu's face turned pale with anger, and her hand on crutches was trembling slightly, but she could see from Zhang Zhuxun's eyes that if he was really desperate, he would really be able to do this. Who told her not to do it before?

Hide your cards well.

He looked at the expressionless young man standing behind Zhang Zhuxun, and then at the fat man who looked unusual but still had a tigerish face.

In desperation, she could only give in and lowered her voice and said: "That kind of thing is also beneficial to you. Cooperation can only benefit you and have no harm, so why bother me, an old woman who has half a foot in the coffin.



Zhang Zhuoxun didn't accept her trick. He used his pocket to take out the jade ring from the space and put it on the table. "It's useless for anyone to force me to do something I don't like. You'd better hire someone else."<

/p>

After saying that, he turned around and greeted the little brother and the fat man to leave.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that he had taken out his rings, Huo Xiangu was really anxious now.

"I still have something in my hand." Huo Xiangu lowered her voice and spoke quickly, "Don't you want to know what Zhang Menyu did with the Ghost Seal back then?"

Zhang Zhuoxun paused for a moment and turned around, with an expression that was indeed true.

Huo Xiangu sighed, lifted her crutch with one hand, removed the gloomy wooden crest on it, took out a black ping pong ball-sized ball from it, and handed it to Zhang Chuxun.

"I have asked several of the best mechanics I know to solve it, but no one can completely open it." Huo Xiangu said, "But it is not without gain. Under the unique light, this black gold ball

It will project some very special ancient characters, but no one can translate those characters. That kind of characters has never been recorded in history. I think this should be the message Zhang Menyu left for you."<

/p>

Zhang Zhuxun lowered his head and looked at the small black gold ball in his hand. This was the fifth one he had received so far.

"For the sake of this thing." Zhang Zhuxun put away the black gold ball, "If there is indeed something you want in the ancient building, I will take it out. If not, then I'm sorry."

"Brother, Fatty, let's go. Go early and come back early. Tianzhen is still waiting for us."

Before leaving the house, the young man who was walking at the end suddenly turned around and stared at Huo Xiangu coldly, and then slipped out from under the curtain Zhang Zhuxun had raised.

That look made Huo Xiangu's body run cold and her whole body became stiff. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she murmured softly, "How many years have it been..."

She knew that her younger brother didn't have a good impression of the people who coveted the Zhang family's ancient building, let alone those things that happened back then, so a reminder before was already the utmost kindness.

Even back then, he had never shown such direct emotions so obviously.

This time, I really stepped on that person's reverse scale.

Outside the tent, the fat man endured it again and again, but couldn't help but cursed, "What do you mean by that old woman? Does she want to use the wooden fish to get something from it, and threatens you with innocence? Damn, she really thinks we are brothers."

Some of them are easy to bully. Fatty has been living in the capital for so many years and has never seen anyone dare to sit on my head and urinate. If she dares to touch you and Tianzhen, try it. I will lift the lid of her coffin.

Smashed her monument!"

The neatly organized team of Huo family members at the door were all confused as they listened to the fat man cursing.

Huo Zhizhi and Zhang Zhuxun, who were rushing in with the remittance slip, met head-on. They subconsciously paused. Just as they were about to speak, the fat man snorted heavily and snatched the slip from his hand.<

/p>

Watching the three people walking away, Huo Zhizhi frowned. Suddenly he heard the sound of cracking wood coming from the tent behind him, along with the sound of the teacup breaking. He immediately ran over and opened the tent with Huo Xiuxiu.

Go in through the curtain.

Huo Xiangu was staring blankly at the cracked table leg at one corner, and then smiled bitterly, "As expected of that person's descendant, even the way of losing his temper is exactly the same."

I recalled in my mind that more than thirty years ago, in order to obtain deeper secrets, when several of their team leaders unanimously decided to use human lives to enter, Zhang Qiling raised objections because enough people had died, but they did not care about him.

They seemed to be possessed by the idea, they all had a premonition that the final secret was right in front of them, so it didn't matter if they sacrificed a few people.

So Zhang Qiling said nothing and just waved his sleeves and left. After he left, the corner of the table made a cracking sound. Only then did they realize that the cracks on the huanghuali table top where Zhang Qiling had been sitting were from the top to the top.

Spread to the bottom.

Later, due to their insistence, Zhang Qiling personally led the team into the cave. In the end, only a few people came out alive. At the same time, I don’t know what influence they suffered. Those few people directly turned into fools, and Zhang Qiling himself also lost his memory.
p>

Huo Zhizhi and the two men cleaned up the mess in the tent. Huo Zhizhi bowed slightly and asked for instructions: "Master, the team is ready and can set off."

Huo Xiangu came back to her senses, put the ring on her hand again, straightened her sleeves, walked out of the tent, faced the team that had been waiting outside for a long time, raised her hand and gave the order sonorously, "Let's go!"

On the other side, Zhang Zhuoxun and the others returned to their tents, picked up the backpacks they had prepared earlier, and went directly to the entrance of the cave.

The fat man seemed to have remembered something, raised his hand and poked Zhang Zhuxun, and asked cautiously: "Muyu, um, who is the person named Zhang Menyu that the old woman said before? Of course, if you can't tell,

Just pretend I didn’t ask."

"There's nothing that can't be said." Zhang Zhuoxun smiled, "According to my guess, there is a 90% chance that that person is my father."

"No, why is it only 90%?" The fat man was a little confused, "You don't know who your father is?"

Zhang Zhuoxun spread his hands indifferently, "I haven't seen him since he was born. I don't know where to go."

"What about your mother? Where's your father and your mother? There must be someone who knows the truth," the fat man said.

"I don't know." Zhang Zhuxun lowered his eyelids and kicked the gravel on the ground, "I was raised by several grandfathers and aunts. Most of the children I trained with were similar to me. The homework I had to complete every day

There are too many to count, so how can I have time to think about this?"

After not hearing the fat man speak for a long time, Zhang Zhuxun pushed the pebbles he had just kicked away with his feet, pretending to smile casually, "Don't you think I'm so pitiful? I don't have parents nagging me all the time."

Nao, as long as I excel in my studies, I can do whatever I want. I feel very free."

The fat man was quiet for a while, and finally patted Zhang Zhuxun on the shoulder, "That's not true. I just think you are pretty awesome."

"I have discernment, and I am the best among our group of children." Zhang Zhuoxun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and glanced at the silent brother unconsciously.

For the first time, the little brother raised his hand and touched Zhang Zhuxun's head lightly, saying "hmm".

Thanks to [Dali Chen] [Little Brother’s Leg Pendant] and other big guys for the rewards, show your feelings...
