"Damn it." Seeing that he was so stingy, I just curled my lips. However, I felt a lot better when I thought about the dagger destined to be extraordinary. "Hey, Master Jiu, what should I do with the girl's soul?" After a while,
I asked.
"What do you want to do?" Master Jiu asked after hearing what I said.
"I...I want to help her and get to know her. She is quite pitiful." After thinking about it, I said.
"Okay, let's make a price. I estimate that she must be very weak now. Xiao Hei is always merciless. If you want to help her summon the soul, you need at least this amount." Jin Jiuye said, stretching out his two hands.
A finger shook.
"Two hundred, that's easy to say." He chuckled, a rare act of generosity.
"Holy crap, are you kidding me? Two hundred yuan is enough to find a blind fortune teller. When did you, Mr. Jin Jiu, become so cheap!"
"How much is that, two thousand?" He gestured with a grin, and I looked like him.
"Yes." A proud smile appeared on his big face, and the corners of Jin Jiuye's lips became extremely vulgar.
"Damn, it's really bad. Two thousand yuan is enough for me to live for a month!" I said, gnashing my teeth and glaring at him.
"That's your business and has nothing to do with me. It's still a discounted price. It's up to you to do it or not." Leaning against the carriage on one side, Jin Jiuye turned on the energy-saving lamp on the side, his head shaking.
Crooked, revealing a well-hidden philistine look.
"I have no money." I took a deep breath and said.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Jin Jiuye was stunned.
"I'm telling the truth. I really don't have that much money on hand."
"Oh, then, let it be deducted from your salary." Jin Jiuye said and smiled. At this time, the little black fat man sitting aside and applying medicine to him suddenly became energetic; "By the way, Jiuye, this time we
How much can I take?”
"Twenty to thirty thousand." After taking a last puff, Jin Jiuye crushed the cigarette butt in his hand on the base of the carriage, then turned to look at the two of us, "Tell me, are those bastards deliberately trying to trick you?"
Us, Xiaohei, what does that list say?"
"Let me take a look." The fat little black man said, taking out a small notebook from the package on one side. After flipping through it for a long time, he said leisurely through the lamp: "Here, here, um...
It says that as long as we catch the water monkey causing trouble in the lotus pond, we will get a reward regardless of whether we live or die, 50,000 for the living, 30,000 for the dead, and then... gone."
"But we have caught so many, what should we do?" Hearing what the fat little black man said, I asked Mr. Jin Jiu.
"Logically speaking, they should pay a little more, what do you think?" Looking at the book slyly, Jin Jiuye cast an inquiring look.
"It's necessary. There are two work-related injuries here. It's not even the price. It's simply inhumane. It must be paid more." When he heard that more money was needed, the little black fat man immediately became active.
"But will they increase the money? Why do I think they are deliberately trying to trick us? With so many people dead, they should know that there is more than one water monkey here, but they didn't mention the number when they came.
I didn’t do it on purpose... You think, if they don’t come out with money, there’s nothing we can do. After all, they ask us to catch water monkeys. If you catch a hundred, you’re still catching, and if you catch one, you’re still catching.
From this point of view, there is no difference, that is to say, what we are doing is a buy one, get ten free deal." After thinking for a moment, I said.
"Don't mention it yet, I think what this guy said makes sense. It seems that we have really been tricked." Frowning, the little black fat man said leisurely.
"Yeah, I think so." Touching his chin, Jin Jiuye looked at the two of us, "Well, you two find a place to hide these water monkeys, and we'll give him one and see how they react.
, if they refuse to let us go, it means they must know the inside story. When the time comes, we will bargain with them. As for how much it will be, we have the final say. If they don't stop us, it means they are too.
It's unintentional. Since they didn't deliberately use us as a mallet, we don't need to quarrel with them any more. We have to be kind and kind. Do you think that's okay?"
"Okay, let's do it like this!" When the little black fat man heard this, he also felt that it made sense.
That night, the three of us took turns to keep vigil. As soon as it dawned, a large group of villagers came running over with shovels and pickaxes.
The village they were in was only a few kilometers away from the scene of the incident. Those people who went through so much trouble last night must have known the news. The one who ran at the front was the old village chief who had been a soldier. Seeing that the three of us were safe,
The old man breathed a long sigh of relief, "Oh, I just said that Jin Jiuye and these two little brothers are people with great supernatural powers. If you still don't believe it, just take a look and see, isn't it done?"
He said, taking the bag containing the water monkey from Xiaopang's hand.
As soon as the bag was opened, the smell of stinky mud mixed with dead fish immediately came out. It's interesting to say that the thing had been dead for less than six hours, but the decomposition speed was not slow at all. I walked forward for two days.
When I stepped forward, I was choked and coughed. But when the villagers saw it, they immediately surrounded it, and the desperate man tied up the water monkey and lifted it up with a pickaxe. Watching them beating gongs and drums and cheering, it turned out to be like
It's like I got some treasure...
"Jiuye, Jiuye, come here." While following those people back, the old man found an opportunity to pull Jin Jiuye aside.
"What's wrong?" Jin Jiuye winked at me and replied knowingly.
"Just one?" the old man said in a low voice as he stretched out his index finger and shook it.
"Yes, there's just one. Could it be that... there are other water monkeys here?! Brother, you're not right!" Jin Jiuye said, pretending to be angry. The old man listened for a while.
He smiled apologetically, "This, this... I just found out about it. How about you stay a few more days to clean up these things before leaving?"
"Money counts separately." Upon hearing this, Xiaopang interjected with a sullen face.
"This..." When the old man heard this, he looked embarrassed.
"Forget it, forget it, since you are in trouble, then find another expert. Anyway, our order is over. Look, what do we want to do now that we are like this? Besides, after this order is finished, we still have other things to do.
I have to do some work for my son, so hurry up and settle the account if it's convenient, I'm still waiting to go to the hospital." The little fat man said, taking out the black account and looking at it, "According to what was discussed in advance, you should pay us 30,000 yuan.
, it’s not easy to see you, so I’ll give you a 10% discount, twenty-seven thousand, give me the money.”
"No hurry, no hurry!" Seeing that the little fat man said it decisively, the old man quickly said with a smile, "You have worked hard this time, eliminating harm for the people! The folks in the countryside are all grateful. No, we have prepared good wine and food.
Okay, you have to finish eating before you leave! Come on, come on, eat first, eat first!!”
