The moment the boss saw Shi Lei, he panicked, as if he had seen something amazing. His eyes widened.

"No, boss, what do you mean by that look?"

Shi Lei laughed helplessly.

"Young man, you really can't go near our store right now. Look, I don't even dare to take the five hundred yuan that you put on the table last night."

Shi Lei looked in the direction the boss pointed and realized it was indeed the case.

Five red bills were placed on top of the trash can. Although they were bright, no one was willing to pick them up.

"What the hell is going on?"

Shi Lei was even more curious now, he actually didn't even want the money he earned.

Seeing the boss's fear and trepidation, Shi Lei quickly waved his hands and said, "No no no, boss, you have to believe me. I came here myself today, that Little Monkey did not follow."

"Is that true?"

The boss said with a doubtful expression.

"You see, why don't you believe me yet?"

Shi Lei looked at the boss helplessly: "Since you were like yesterday, how could I possibly dare to bring the Little Monkey here? Don't worry, it's really just me."

After the boss confirmed it over and over again, he finally agreed to let Shi Lei in.

When Shi Lei walked over, the owner was still standing at the top, wanting to see if Shi Lei was really the only one there.

"What the hell is going on?"

Shi Lei looked at the boss and said: "I felt that something was amiss when I went back last night. Back at the car store, the boss there also said that."

"The owner you're talking about is in the front one, right?"

The owner pointed at the car rental shop that was not far away.

"Right, you two know each other?"

The boss nodded and smiled, then said, "Speaking of which, we should be considered as bosom buddies who grew up together. The incident at Nine Links Mountain that year could be said to have completely changed the entire county."

Hearing the boss's words, Shi Lei suddenly became alert. It seemed that the matter was really as he had thought, and was not simple at all.

"Old Lu, let's not talk about the legend anymore. Everyone has no idea what to think about this place!"

The voice of the Lady Boss came from inside the room. The Boss, Old Lu, chuckled. He pointed to the room and said, "Women's opinions. Don't bother with her."

"It just so happens that I have nothing better to do right now. Since you came alone, then I'll have a good talk with you."

The boss was sitting at the entrance of the restaurant. It was not the time for meals, so there was no need to be busy with other things.

"There is a reason why our county is so desolate right now."

The boss was like a depressed poet as he took a long drag from his cigarette and spoke with eyes brimming with memories.

"Isn't it because of the existence of Nine Links Mountain that it became inconvenient to travel here?"

This was a widely accepted saying.

But from the mouth of the barbeque owner, Old Lu, it didn't seem to be the case.

"So it turns out that the development here is pretty good."

Old Lu said slowly, full of memories.

"Although it is not comparable to the development of the developed cities now, at least it is not a burden for the whole province. But now it has become like this, a Nine Links Mountain from that period of time."

The news about the ancient tomb was indeed true, and the incident that almost no one survived after the archaeological team actually happened.

When he was young, Old Lu clearly remembered that he had spoken to one of the team members and even left a contact details. It was just that even after so many years, there was still no response from the contact details.

At first, everyone thought that a strange situation had occurred in Nine Links Mountain, but they did not think much about it.

However, as time passed, more and more news began to spread. Although some people believed it, there were still people who did not believe it too much.

Time slowly passed until one day, a monkey came running down from Mount Nine Links.

To be precise, it was brought down by someone.

Because of the frequent occurrence of monkeys in Nine Links Mountain, everyone didn't pay much attention to this monkey at the beginning. There were even some people who came specially to tease it.

But then something terrible happened.

"I remember that the people who touched this monkey, other than the one who brought them down, all eleven of them survived. They all died at the same time a few days later, including their families."

When he thought back on this matter, Old Lu was still horrified.

"Do you know? As long as all the people who are slightly related to them die and not a single one is left alive, we all call it the 'Blood Curse'. "

Old Lu was still trembling when he mentioned this matter, as if he was glad that he did not stretch out his hand to touch it out of curiosity. Otherwise, he would not have lived to this age.

"And then? Is the owner okay? "

Shi Lei was more concerned about this.

Old Lu shook his head and said, "Master was fine in the beginning, but this monkey that came down from Nine Links Mountain is really too weird. In order to ensure our safety, we let him send the monkey back into the mountain."

"It's strange, he was fine at first, but on the second day after sending the monkey back, his whole family disappeared, as if they had never appeared in this world. If it wasn't for the things in the room, you probably wouldn't have believed that these people existed."

The matter was getting more and more complicated, and even this kind of unbelievable thing had started to happen. This made Shi Lei even more curious.

"Could it be that there's some sort of trick to this?"

Shi Lei was a little curious.

"I don't know the specifics, but we do know that from now on, Nine Links Mountain and our county will not be linked forever. All the supplies and even the business that came from the mountain will be cut off."

As he said till here, Shi Lei finally realized what kind of relationship the county city's development and Nine Links Mountain's were.

"So, brother, we really don't dare to neglect your expenses in our shop last night. I still have my wife and children, I don't want them to leave this world too early."

Old Lu said uncomfortably.

In fact, Shi Lei could understand Old Lu's feelings, so he quickly stood up and said: "Trust me, I will definitely help you guys find the problem!"
