My old attack is the snake king

Chapter 1 Treasure Hunting in the Mountain Forest

In Tanzhou, the biggest official is the magistrate. I heard that he is a high-ranking official from the capital. Tanzhou is poor and small. There are only three counties below. There are often cases of theft in these three counties.

After the high officials of the capital city arrived, they immediately joined forces with the local magistrates to lead their subordinates to catch the thieves.Theft cases were rampant at the beginning, but after dozens of suppressions, the theft cases gradually subsided.Later, some people here began to try to do business, and gradually they could live on.

More than ten years have passed in a flash, and the magistrate has stayed here with his wife and children for 13 years.In the past 13 years, the affairs that Tanzhou could not handle were handed over to the magistrate, and the people were very convinced.

However, Jiang Chu, the magistrate's son, is not like his father, the magistrate, this son is playful and playful.He dug out the newly planted sweet potatoes in advance and roasted them with a few children of about the same age. He broke off the corn and burned them in advance. The newly dyed cloth in the dyeing workshop was also blackened by him. The flowers he planted were picked by him and put in vases...

"My lord, let me frolic and frolic, don't destroy the livelihood of the common people." The master wrote down Jiang Chu's crimes on the paper, one after another, this is already the fifth of this month.

The prefect Jiang Qiucheng nodded and sighed helplessly in his heart.As the parent official of Tanzhou, you must not favoritism.After paying the money to those five families, and bringing Jiang Chu to the door to apologize in person, the matter was over.

Jiang Chu also knew that he had done something wrong, so he stayed at home for a few days and started looking for other fun.

On this day, he heard a story told by Mr. Shu in a teahouse.

"...The poor Liu Qing finally found the treasure. After returning to the city, he immediately asked the daughter of the Shang family to marry him. But Mr. Shang thought of other ways to make things difficult for him. He said, 'So what if you only have silver taels? I will marry my daughter to you if I get the honor in the exam!" Shang Yanyan was unhappy, and blamed her father in her heart. But she didn't dare to say anything, she only dared to complain to Liu Qing, telling him to get the honor and become an official as soon as possible... "

With a sound of "snap", the storyteller clapped the copy, and then said: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

After Mr. Storyteller finished speaking, many listeners were still unsatisfied, leaving Yin Liang reluctantly to leave. Some even got together to talk about what might happen next.Jiang Chu sat on the chair without moving until a shop waiter came to collect his money.

"Second Brother, are the storytellers telling the truth?" Jiang Chu was fascinated by the plot, and the waiter in the store recognized him, and replied politely: "What you said, Mr. Hui, is indeed true." Then he added another sentence : "Slightly adapted from real cases."

Jiang Chu only heard the first sentence, but not the latter one. He took out the money from his pocket and left contentedly.

There are rare treasures deep in the mountains and forests. When Liu Qing, a poor family, found the treasures, he immediately became a rich man and started doing business.Although Jiang Chu didn't know whether Liu Qing married Shang Yanyan or not, these were not his concerns.All he cares about is whether he can find the treasure.

There are mountains and forests everywhere in the southwest of Tanzhou, and there may be rare treasures.Jiang Chu made up his mind, and started a treasure hunt with his friend Li Lin who had grown up with him.

In the mountains and forests, the clouds and mist are misty, and the ground is wet. Unlike the emerald green seen from the outside world, it is lifeless inside, and there are no birdsong, but crows can be heard.

"Jiang Chu, let's go back, it's gloomy in here." Li Lin from behind grabbed Jiang Chu's sleeve to prevent him from leaving.

Jiang Chu stopped, turned around and replied to Li Lin, "What are you afraid of? I heard Mr. Shu told a story before, and he said that the more this kind of place, the more treasures there will be. When we find the treasures and have money , Tanzhou is rich, and we are the poorest state.”

Indeed, Tanzhou is the poorest state under the jurisdiction of the imperial city. There are a lot of stealthy things in Jiang Zhifu, and life is simple. The poor can barely live on, but the rich are richer, and the polarization is extremely serious. .

The further we went in, the darker it became, and the sky darkened, as if it was going to rain.

"Let's go back, it's going to rain."

Jiang Chu sighed helplessly. If he had known that he would not come today, he would have wasted a day of playing in vain.When he came out, the sun was shining brightly, but unexpectedly it was going to rain at this moment, "Come back in two days!" He decided to come back to treasure hunting in a few days.

I walked back and walked a long way, about an hour, but there was no sign of going down the mountain at all, as if I was going around in circles.Jiang Chu had no choice but to wrap a scarf around the tree, and the two went in opposite directions.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at the sign again. Li Lin panicked, and Jiang Chu also panicked. They didn't tell anyone about their going up the mountain.

"It's all you, why go up the mountain if you have nothing to do, no one knows if we both died."

"It's over, Li Lin, we really can't get out, there is not even a living thing here." Jiang Chu sat down on the ground, "We were not born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but we died together."

Silver bell-like laughter came from a distance, the two looked into the smoke, and a girl in blue clothes slowly came out, Jiang Chu and Li Lin had never seen such a beautiful girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, With long hair reaching her waist, the girl asked, "Why are you two young masters here?"

Jiang Chu wanted to say something, but was blocked by Li Lin, who spoke first: "Hi girl, we two got lost in the mountains, I wonder if the girl can take us down the mountain?"

The green-clothed girl looked at the sky, shook her head slightly, "It's going to rain today, why don't you two come to my house!"

"Your home?" Jiang Chu was surprised, "Where is your home?"

The green-clothed girl pursed her lips and smiled, "My home is in the mountains and forests. I saw that you two have never been in the mountains. There are many people in the mountains."

Hearing this, the two of them followed the girl and began to walk deeper into the forest. The inside was not as eerie as people described, on the contrary, it was full of trees, flowers and plants.

On the way, Li Lin introduced himself emphatically, and led Jiang Chu with another sentence. The girl was called Jingjing, and she had never been out of the mountains since she was born.Jiang Chu didn't believe it. If the mountains and forests were like this, the people down the mountain would have known about it.

A few people walked deeper for a while, and finally opened a piece of grass, walked in, and at a glance, there are not only restaurants and teahouses, but also brothels, many beautiful women are soliciting customers, and selling all kinds of food and supplies The shop is more lively than the Tanzhou market.

Their clothes are basically the same as those of the outsiders, but some people's hair is dyed colorful, which is very strange.

"It's amazing that there is such a place in Tanzhou." Li Lin pulled Jiang Chu and said in a low voice.
