Day 2

Red Sect Mountain Gate

The atmosphere in the Gong family's villa seemed a bit depressing.

Ever since Gong Shaoyu's death, the Gong family had been in turmoil for a while, and the atmosphere in the whole family had become so depressing that the servants had become extremely cautious, fearing that any big move would bring about a catastrophic disaster.

Early in the morning, a servant walked quickly into the backyard.

She said to the fat steward Xu Rushan who was lecturing the maids, "Steward, there is a letter from your hometown."

"Well! Let's go!"

Xu Rushan took the envelope and waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

His hometown was in Yongning County, hundreds of miles away. There were many poor relatives in his family who would occasionally write letters to him, so he was not surprised.

But when I opened the envelope!

He couldn't help but shudder all over and subconsciously glanced around. After making sure that no one noticed him, he quickly returned to his room to take a closer look!

This is not a family letter at all!

There was only a piece of letter paper and a thousand-dollar spirit stone note inside!

Written on the letter was the evidence that Xu Rushan had embezzled Gong family's property, and it stated that if he didn't want the incident to be exposed, he'd better find a way to get the gold-eating ants and send them to Xishan City. At that time, he would be rewarded with 2,000 spirit stones.

"Gold-eating ants?" Xu Rushan had a complicated expression.

He naturally knew what gold-eating ants were.

During his lifetime, Gong Shaoyu treated this nest of gold-eating ants like a treasure. Since they had not yet been successfully tamed, the family servants usually helped to take care of them and fed them large amounts of precious minerals every day.

Recently, because of the accident with Gong Shaoyu, the queen ant also died on the spot!

Now a nest of gold-eating ants is fighting among themselves every day. They are divided into more than a dozen groups that bite and gnaw each other, resulting in many casualties.

Xu Rushan was worrying about how to deal with the situation.

Now someone actually wants this nest of gold-eating ants?

"Who is this person?" Xu Rushan murmured with a grim expression.

The other party is using one hand to threaten and the other to bribe.

He won't be allowed to resist at all!

Either he chooses to take the spirit stone, or he chooses to suffer bad luck. Now Xu Rushan couldn't help but feel conflicted!

"Damn it, who cares who he is!" Xu Rushan gritted his teeth and thought: "If I can get 3,000 spirit stones, I can live comfortably far away. Why should I continue to work like a slave in the Gong family? Besides, there are so many gold-eating ants, and they didn't ask to take away the whole nest. If I steal a batch, no one will find out!"

He hesitated for a moment, and finally made the right choice.

In the evening!

As usual, Xu Rushan walked towards the back mountain of the villa with his hands behind his back.

There is a dry cave here, in which thousands of thumb-sized, dark golden gold-eating ants are kept.

They look like enlarged versions of black ants, with pairs of wings on their backs. They fly very fast, like afterimages dancing in the air.

Now is feeding time!

Several servants carried baskets of ore and threw them into the cave.

These gold-eating ants pounced over excitedly, constantly gnawing at the stones and metals with their sharp mouthparts, making buzzing sounds.

Occasionally, several waves of gold-eating ants would fight each other!

From time to time, some gold-eating ants are killed and eaten by their own kind!

"Manager Xu, take a look!" A servant said with a sad face, "These gold-eating ants fight non-stop every day and are very irritable and easily angered. We are now having a headache every day, fearing that they will eat our food when we feed them. Can you come up with an idea to deal with them?"

"Is this something you can discuss?" Xu Rushan scolded in dissatisfaction, "This is Master Yu's treasure. The master of the family has lost his beloved son and is in grief. Who among you has the guts to use this thing to provoke him?"

"Well?"

The servants present were all silent and dared not say a word.

"Feed them first!" Xu Rushan said in a gentle tone, "After a while, when the master has calmed down, I will ask which young master will take over these gold-eating ants. Anyway, no matter what, you have to do your best to take good care of them. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

The servants all agreed respectfully.

"Go ahead and get some more ore." Xu Rushan waved his hand and ordered, "Maybe they will stop making trouble if they are full and have enough water!"

"yes!"

The servants respectfully withdrew and did as instructed.

Xu Rushan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a jade gourd from his storage bag.

This is a wine gourd made of ice-blood jade. It can not only chill wine, but also temporarily hold these gold-eating ants.

Once the gold-eating ants enter the jade gourd!

When they sense the low temperature, they will fall into a deep sleep and stop making noise.

Unless they are too hungry to wake up, they will continue to sleep, making them the best containers for temporarily housing gold-eating ants.

Of course, if you want to shelter the gold-eating ants for a long time!

I'm afraid they may have to find the legendary beast-taming bag or insect bag. Only this kind of special space-type magical tool that can store living things is suitable for their long-term survival.

Xu Rushan took out the jade gourd without any nonsense!

He immediately raised his hand and grabbed a slightly larger gold-eating ant, which was sucked into the palm condensed by his spiritual power and then stuffed into the jade gourd.

He doesn't just grab things randomly!

During this period, Xu Rushan has been paying attention to the gold-eating ant colony.

Since the queen ant died, they have split into more than a dozen groups and started fighting among themselves.

Each group of gold-eating ants are slightly larger in size, and they fight with other gold-eating ants with their own group of younger followers. In the absence of external interference, it is unknown how long this fight will last, and finally a real queen ant will be decided.

The one Xu Rushan captured was a leader among more than a dozen groups of gold-eating ants. It had failed in many fights, and many of its followers had died, leaving only more than a hundred.

When Xu Rushan caught it!

Its little brothers, the gold-eating ants, followed suit and rushed into the jade gourd.

Soon the jade gourd was filled with more than a hundred gold-eating ants, just filling up the gourd, and they all fell into a deep sleep.

"hehe!"

Xu Rushan smiled with satisfaction, then walked away with the jade gourd in his hand.

There were more than a hundred missing gold-eating ants among thousands of them, but no one could notice it. Even if they were found to be missing, they were lost in the fight between them. So who cares?

Now he walked down the mountain gate carrying the jade gourd, and no one had the slightest suspicion.

"Manager Xu, are you going down the mountain?"

"Hey, what kind of wine are you carrying? Let's have a drink together when you have time!"

Along the way, familiar disciples of the Red Sect greeted each other with smiles.

Xu Rushan waved his hands and said angrily, "Go away, go away. I'm busy working like a cow and a horse every day. How can I have time to drink? Let's talk about it later!"

After saying that, he stood up with his sword as usual!

He went directly to Xishan City without encountering any obstruction or questioning during the journey.

Before dark, he found an inconspicuous courtyard in the west of Xishan City. There was a strange ghost-like pattern painted on the gate of the courtyard, but Xu Rushan recognized its mark at a glance.

He didn't see anyone after pushing the door open!

There were two tickets worth one thousand spirit stones on the stone table in the courtyard!

Xu Rushan hesitated for a long time, and finally left the jade gourd and took the spirit stone ticket.

The transaction was completed so silently!

Ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets
