"Hey, Miss Tianlin, let me tell you the truth. The fifteen nine-leaf grasses this time are tributes to the three ancient countries. The five of us have already invested all our wealth and lives in them."
Boss Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead at this time and said again: "Well, we are willing to increase the reward. Please take over the task of collecting nine-leaf grass."
"Hehehe, you brought this up first, so I won't be polite." Shang Tianlin was secretly proud at this moment. He deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of collecting grass, just to wait for the other party to be nervous.
Stay calm and ask to increase your remuneration yourself. In this case, Shang Tianlin can get another share.
"Then... I've hired Brother Guan and Brother Agou as helpers this time, and their remuneration will of course be increased." Shang Tianlin was now like a little shopkeeper who was obsessed with money. She said with her fingers:
"Let's do this. If the five of you are willing to pay each of us three hundred shellfish, a total of nine hundred, then I will take on this task."
"What?! Nine hundred shells?!" Upon hearing this, the five merchants were so frightened that they almost fell down, because so many shells were enough to equal the entire property of any one of them. After hearing this, Shang Tian
Lin's price was as loud as a lion's mouth, and Wan LaoDa immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Miss Tianlin, do you want all of us to go bankrupt?!"
Mr. Wan sighed and said: "I hope you can understand our difficulties. Let's do this. I will give you a fair price. You, Brother Guan and Brother Agou can each get 200 shells."
What do you think of the reward?"
The remaining merchants also nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, this is already the highest reward we can give."
At this time, Shang Tianlin pretended to be embarrassed and tilted her head to think about it for a long time. In fact, she was already happy in her heart: "I originally thought that the other party would be exhausted and the number would be increased to about 400 shells. I didn't expect it. It's a big, big harvest."
!”
"Hey, Tian Lin..." Guan Heng walked up to the girl at this time and whispered: "Take it as soon as you can, we have enough."
"Yeah, brother Guan Heng is right, you can't squeeze these old guys too much, otherwise, it will show that I am not kind."
After listening to Guan Heng's words, Shang Tianlin nodded. She said to Lao Wan: "Okay, let's make it an agreement. According to the old rules, half of the remuneration will be paid first, which is three hundred dollars. Uncle Wan, take
bring it on."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay you no problem." Lao Wan winked at the merchants next to him. Someone had already taken the three bags and handed them to Shang Tianlin.
"Hahaha, money..." Shang Tianlin, whose eyes turned into slits as she smiled, was about to reach out to get the bag when Boss Wan suddenly said: "Miss Tianlin, I can give this to you first, but we are in a hurry now when we need it.
Can you tell me how long it will take for those fifteen nine-leaf grasses to be delivered to us?"
After hearing this, Shang Tianlin raised her voice with confidence: "This is easy to answer for you. With the help of Brother Guan and Brother Agou, I will definitely bring Xuncao back to Qingshui Village within two days.
At that time, just prepare the rest of the reward."
"Okay, you always keep your word, I believe it." Mr. Wan sighed and said, "Two days, please!"
"Then let's take our leave first." After Shang Tianlin said this, she winked at Guan Heng, and the few of them hurried out.
…
A short while later, the street corner not far away was in a quiet and deserted place.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that those few seemingly smart businessmen were fooled by you." Guan Heng weighed the pocket containing two department store shells at this time and said to Shang Tianlin with a smile: "If you
If you don’t do business, it’s really a waste of talent.”
"Hahaha, Brother Guan, please don't praise me like this. I really deserve it." At this moment, Shang Tianlin said while counting the goods in her pocket: "In fact, if they didn't urgently need Nine-leaf Xuncao
If so, I may not be able to get such a big reward."
"Besides, what I said is not all exaggeration." Shang Tianlin put away the money bag and then said to Guan Heng: "The remote cliff where the nine-leaf grass grows is indeed steep and difficult to climb. And there are monsters.
Habitat, if I hadn't asked you and Brother Agou for help this time, I really wouldn't have dared to go there alone."
As soon as Shang Tianlin said this, Agou handed the money bag in his hand to Guan Heng: "You can take these, I don't know what their use is anyway."
Guan Heng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the money bag, and asked again: "When are we going out?"
"Well... let me calculate the distance..." Shang Tianlin tilted her head and thought for a while, then she said: "After leaving Qingshui Village to the desert northwest, it's about half a day's journey. There is Yingtiao Mountain.
', Nine-leaf grass grows on the cliffs of Yingwei Mountain, but we must first find a way to deal with the monsters nearby."
"Is it half a day's journey?" At this moment, Guan Heng'ang looked at the height of the sun, and then he said to Shang Tianlin and Agou: "It's noon now. If we go out now, we should be able to reach Yingtiao Mountain in the evening.
, Tianlin, do you have your own mount?"
"Yes, my horse is still at the boarding house." Shang Tianlin said at this time: "You follow me to get the mount back first, and then everyone will leave immediately."
Guan Heng and Agou nodded in agreement, and then followed Shang Tianlin to the residence where she was staying. Tianlin's mount was a dark red horse. The fur all over was red and shiny, and the mane was very beautiful in the wind. The horse was not tall.
, just suitable for a petite girl like Shang Tianlin to ride.
When Guan Heng saw the red horse, he couldn't help but admired: "Well, what a good horse!"
"Hehehe, this is the pony my parents left for me, and it has grown into such a big size."
Shang Tianlin turned over and jumped on the horse. Guan Heng also rode on the ghost-eating tiger. The snake-like bird jumping on the tiger's head flew onto Guan Heng's shoulder. Shang Tianlin asked at this time: "Agou
Brother, what should you do? Do you need me to find another horse?"
"No, no, no," Agou waved his big hand and said nonchalantly, "I can catch up with you even if I run on two legs."
"So awesome?!" After hearing this, Shang Tianlin stuck out her tongue in surprise, and then said to Guan Heng beside her: "Your adopted brother, um, is so amazing."
"Hehehe, let's go out, Tianlin, lead the way." Hearing Guan Heng's call, Shang Tianlin smiled softly and immediately let the red horse start running: "Drive--"
"Da da da—" A tiger, a horse, and a strong man named Ah Gou ran out of Qingshui Village.
