Xu Yuan said excitedly: "Follow me, it's at the foot of the mountain ahead."
The four people then followed him and headed towards the foot of the mountain ahead.
Because of the excitement, everyone was no longer afraid, and even the difficult mountain road seemed easier to walk on.
We hurried all the way and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Before reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone had already seen the colorful lights coming from the foot of the mountain.
This made everyone very excited, and several people quickly crossed the bushes and ran to the foot of the mountain.
When they got there, they were all delighted. There really was a pile of colorful gems!
It’s exactly as Xu Yuan said, it’s so beautiful!
Everyone seemed to have gone crazy, rushing forward and starting to pick up gems.
But just as they bent down to pick up a few gems, they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet shaking.
Several people were shaken to the point of staggering and eventually falling to the ground.
Before everyone understood what was happening, Zhao Da suddenly spotted a huge monster out of the corner of his eye!
Zhao Guang would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
Because he saw a giant green python staring at them with bloodshot eyes.
This giant python is so terrifying. Its body is bigger than a house, and its eyes are bigger than the largest lantern.
It looked very scary, and Zhao Da was so frightened that he screamed and ran away, shouting, "Mom! There is a monster, run!"
The other people were still a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
But before they could react, the monster opened its mouth wide and swallowed Feng Guang and Xu Yuan.
This frightened Zhao Er and Zhao San so much that they cried and shouted desperately, then ran away.
As they ran, they could hear the monster's crunching sound. They would never forget that sound in their entire lives.
In this way, Zhao Er and Zhao San escaped by luck, but Feng Guang and Xu Yuan were not so lucky. They were eaten by the monster and died instantly.
The three people who managed to escape were so frightened that they ran all the way down the mountain in one breath.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they still didn't dare to stop and ran back to the town in one breath.
It wasn't until we got to the town that everyone's legs went weak and they sat down on the ground.
When the people in the town saw the three people so frightened, they were a little curious and quickly came up to ask.
Boss Zhao told the people in the town what had just happened in horror, and only then did they realize that something had happened.
Then Han Jinshu and others found out about it, and they quickly came to Zhou Bin to report to him.
This is what happened in the past. Zhou Bin couldn't help but gasp after hearing it.
He had previously thought that the story about monsters on the mountain was nonsense, but he didn't expect that there really were monsters!
But why didn’t he see it when he went to the mountain?
He suddenly remembered that he saw a huge creature hidden in the fog in the mountains, and its shape looked like a dragon.
It seems that he still thought too simply, thinking that there would be no such exaggerated things in the world.
Now it seems that this thing really exists and has hurt people.
Zhou Bin felt unhappy as he thought that this matter was all his fault.
So Zhou Bin and Han Jinshu came to Xu Yuan's house again. His house was already in chaos by then.
The family members were crying loudly because of Xu Yuan's death, and they looked very miserable.
Zhou Bin had no choice but to persuade the family kindly, asking them not to be too sad and to accept the loss.
Xu Yuan's family did not blame Zhou Bin at all, and were even a little afraid.
They knew that Xu Yuan and his men had run into the mountains on their own, which was a violation of the commander-in-chief's orders.
They were afraid that Zhou Bin would punish them for this, but Zhou Bin didn't really have that intention.
He just felt that this incident was a bit of a pity. If it weren't for his action at the beginning, they wouldn't have lost their lives.
Therefore, Zhou Bin decided to give each of the two families one thousand copper coins as funeral expenses, which could also be regarded as his little apology.
The two families were very grateful when they heard the news and were full of gratitude to Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin couldn't feel happy in his heart. There really was a monster on the mountain. If they went down the mountain, wouldn't everyone be in trouble?
But Zhou Bin had no choice but to do this for now. When the time was right, he wanted to go to the mountain again to see what was going on.
However, the matter was far from over. The news that five people from Lao Miao Town went into the mountains and discovered treasures soon spread throughout the town.
Almost everyone in the town, young and old, male and female, knew about this incident. As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
No one knew when this matter was known to the people in Baijiang City.
This led to a series of troubles, in which Zhou Bin was also involved.
This incident will be described in detail later, but after this incident, Zhou Bin strictly ordered that no one was allowed to enter the mountain without permission.
At night, every household must lock their doors and not go out.
Everyone had seen with their own eyes someone being eaten by the monster, so no one in Lao Miao Town dared to even think about it again.
Although this incident made everyone feel scared, after some time, it was gradually forgotten.
During this period, the folks in Lao Miao Town finally had a bumper harvest, and the wheat they had planted could be harvested.
At Zhou Bin's command, the whole family went out and began to harvest wheat in the fields.
Although the scorching sun was burning the earth, everyone had a smile on their face.
Everyone took their sickles and rushed to the fields to harvest the wheat.
The harvested wheat was transported back home by ox carts. If the family did not have an ox cart, they would simply have people carry it on their backs.
The entire Lao Miao Town instantly fell into a hot working atmosphere, and Zhou Bin also directed his servants to work enthusiastically.
After a week of hard work, all the wheat in Lao Miao Town was harvested.
According to later weighing, at least 800 kilograms of wheat could be harvested per acre of land, which was a very high yield, much more than the millet grown before.
The food from every household soon filled up the granary, and everyone finally had food to eat.
Zhou Bin was very happy to see that everyone had food to eat.
The day after the wheat was harvested, all the villagers in the town came to Zhou Bin’s house.
When his servant saw it, he hurried over to report to Zhou Bin: "Commander-in-chief, this is incredible. Go and have a look!"
Zhou Bin was shocked when he saw his anxious look. Did something happen in the town again?
