[076] backsliding, money-hungry brother-in-law
I took a deep breath, and after a long time, my head was still dizzy. I never dreamed that the "burning stick" I accidentally found from Lao Wu's house was actually the legendary "Nine Turns Lightning Strike Wood"!
Could it be that I've really started transshipment?
For the sake of safety, I reacted, and I couldn't help but quickly bite my middle finger and directly drew a spell on the burning stick with "Tong Zimei".
This thing is so tempting, even in the deep mountains and old forests, it can attract the coveted of centipede spirits, and once you go to a crowded place, you may be targeted immediately! Only by painting the "Qi Concealment Talisman" for hiding the breath on it can the spirit treasure breath on it be temporarily suppressed and not targeted.
After drawing the "Hidden Qi Talisman", I felt that it was still not enough, so I quickly and quietly touched the kitchen of Brother Zhang's house. A layer of ash was scraped directly from the cauldron, dipped in water, and applied straight to the burning stick.
After such a toss, this burning stick finally turned into its original black appearance. Unless it is a cultivator who is far superior to me, and directly touches the burning stick and senses it with the Qi field, it is absolutely difficult to see the slightest clue!
After doing all this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and when it was just dawn, I quickly woke up Brother Zhang and Director Han. Although I am the only one who knows about the nine-turn lightning strike, in order to avoid having too many dreams at night, I think it is better to quickly withdraw the money and give it to Lao Wu.
In this regard, Brother Zhang didn't say much, hurriedly ate breakfast, and then took me and Director Han to Lao Wu's relative's house. Ready to pick up Lao Wu, let's go to the county to withdraw the money together, and then we can hand over the money directly to Lao Wu, and we don't have to go back to the village. Director Han is anxious to return to Qianyang, and I am also going back to my hometown in Yucheng for the New Year.
However, our group had barely walked a few steps before we saw Lao Wu already trotting towards us in a hurry.
"Heh......"
Seeing this scene, we couldn't help laughing, looking at Lao Wu's eager look, I said in my heart, it seems that it is not only me who is anxious, Lao Wu is also very anxious, he can't wait to get the 10,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lao Wu opened his mouth, he said something that we didn't expect!
I only heard Lao Wu crying with a sad face and said: "Benefactor, something happened!" The 'Wind Bead' you gave me for safekeeping last night was detained by my brother-in-law! ”
"What!"
As soon as I heard this, my face suddenly changed, and I couldn't help frowning and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Where did Lao Wu dare to hide it, even if he told us everything that happened at his brother-in-law's house last night.
If you want to talk about this old Wu, he is also a person who can't hide things in his heart, not to mention, the other party is still his brother-in-law. Therefore, when he stayed at his brother-in-law's house last night, he told his brother-in-law all about centipede essences, wind beads, and burning sticks.
His brother-in-law's name is Wang Xin, and when he heard that I was going to pay 10,000 yuan to buy the "Dingfeng Pearl" in Lao Wu's hand, he immediately took it to heart. Although he didn't believe in anything about centipede essences, he also felt that this "Dingfeng Pearl" must be a treasure after listening to what Lao Wu and Aunt Wu said! Otherwise, how could I be willing to pay 10,000 yuan for it?
10,000 yuan, this may not be anything in the eyes of rich people, but in this remote Miao village, it is already a lot of money. Especially for a family like Lao Wu, that's a huge amount of money!
Therefore, Wang Xin feels that the price of this fixed wind bead should be far more than 10,000! Therefore, he tried to cheat the Dingfeng Zhu from Lao Wu's hands, saying that he would study it well at night. Lao Wu didn't think much about it at the time, after all, he was his wife's younger brother, so he handed over the Dingfeng Bead that I temporarily asked him to keep.
Who knows, when he went to Wang Xin in the morning to ask for it, Wang Xin didn't give it alive! And asked Lao Wu to pass the word and ask me to come to him in person, saying that he wanted to renegotiate the price of this "Dingfeng Zhu" with me!
"Grass! What kind of thing is he, Wang Xin, and what qualifications does he have to bargain! ”
After listening to Lao Wu's story, Brother Zhang was suddenly furious, he was originally upset for me, thinking that this 10,000 yuan should not be spent at all! Now that such a thing has happened again, is there any reason not to be angry?
"Let's go! Then go and meet this Wang Xin, I want to see how much money he wants! ”
To be honest, I'm also quite angry, although the value of the "Wind Bead" is indeed far more than 10,000 yuan, but the bead was originally mine! The centipede essence was killed by me, and the "Wind Fixing Bead" in its body naturally belonged to me, I just exchanged this bead for Lao Wu's burning stick. It was Lao Wu himself who insisted on refusing to accept it, so I compromised and planned to buy this bead for 10,000 yuan.
This is a happy thing, everyone takes what they need, but unexpectedly, Wang Xin, Cheng Bites Jin, and he still wants to sit on the ground and start the price?
I didn't really care about the bead, it was no different from the stall than the burning stick in my hand. I don't care if I want it or not, as long as I can get this burning stick, it's better than anything else.
But since he Wang Xin wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, then I really want to see it.
Of course, we didn't rush to Wang Xin's house recklessly, but turned back again, planning to call Sha Biao together.
After all, Sha Biao is the leader of the village, and he was also at the scene last night, knowing the cause and effect of the incident, with him as a witness, many things are undoubtedly much easier.
When he came to Sha Biao's house, Sha Biao was sleeping, and he got the big centipede last night, but he was too busy, so he cleaned up the big centipede overnight and soaked it in a large vat. Of course, it was not Sha Biao who was the happiest, but his father, Uncle Sha.
Uncle Sha has been obsessed with the study of Gu poison all his life, and he has been suffering from the lack of suitable Gu making materials, and now that he has obtained such a big centipede all of a sudden, how can he not be overjoyed? Not only that, but even looking at me, I couldn't help but be a lot kinder, and when I heard that we were looking for Sha Biao, I didn't say a word, and quickly went back to the house to wake up Sha Biao.
And when Sha Biao learned that the "Dingfeng Zhu" was actually deducted by Wang Xin, and was ready to sit on the ground and raise the price. Sha Biao couldn't help but be furious, and scolded on the spot: "Grass! Good him, Wang Xin, do these things without asshole! Let's go find him! ”
In this way, including Lao Wu, a group of five of us rushed straight to Wang Xin's house.
Just arrived at the door of his house, I saw a middle-aged man about forty years old squatting there at the door, I don't need to ask me to know, this person must be Lao Wu's brother-in-law Wang Xin.
Seeing us, Wang Xin's face immediately turned overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted us. But when he saw Sha Biao behind me, his face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and he said with a sneer: "The head man is also here......
"Humph!"
Sha Biao didn't give him a good look as soon as he came up, so he directly stretched out his hand to him and said straight to the point: "Where are the beads?" Hand it over! ”
"This ......"
As soon as he heard this, Wang Xin's face suddenly became a little ugly, he licked his lips, and then said, "Or...... Let's go inside the house, shall we? ”
"What is there to say!"
Sha Biao, who had just woken up, seemed to be a little "awake angry", and he didn't give face at all, and said with a tough face: "Wang Xin, let me tell you, you don't give me all this, that bead has nothing to do with you, don't think about the idea of fighting it!" Otherwise, this Babao Township Miao Village, I won't let you stay for a day! ”
"Humph!"
Seeing that Sha Biao's attitude was so tough, Wang Xin seemed to be a little angry, snorted coldly, and immediately said: "Sha Biao, you are the leader of the village, it is unfair for you to say this, right?" ”
"This bead belongs to my sister's family, my sister and brother-in-law don't understand the market, so they sold it for only 10,000 yuan! Can't I, the younger brother, help them check the gates? ”
As soon as his words fell, Lao Wu on the side hurriedly explained: "I didn't let him check for me!" ”
"You!"
After hearing Lao Wu's words, Wang Xin was obviously angry, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Old thing, you are stupid!" This bead has to be sold for 180,000 yuan! At that time, even if we divide it equally, it will be better than selling it for 10,000 yuan! ”
