Chapter 249: The Mysterious Messenger
"Yes, yes, peace and peace, peace is a blessing!" Lu Chenggen also smiled: "Then you ...... You know what that means, right?"
"Understand, this is my secret word to the guest, you can eat this meal as you like, it's all free!" The boss relieved Lu Chenggen's arms with a word, it seems that Shangguan Qingyu didn't lie to herself, this is really the code word she agreed with the boss......
At that moment, I was relieved to eat and drink, ate and drank to my heart's content, greeted the boss and Old Man Zhang, and went away with a puffed stomach.
"What did he say to the boss before eating, and immediately meet without paper and pen, what does it mean to report safety with the words of the king?" That girl's ears were extremely sensitive, and she heard Lu Chenggen and the boss talking in the back kitchen just now.
"Hehe, that's a code word. Old man Zhang touched his beard and said with a smile, did he hear such an old look? Otherwise, why wouldn't the girl be surprised at all when he asked him?
"Eat codeword, but this guy didn't pay the bill just now, but it's true......," the little girl looked dazed.
"Do you know that there are three very mysterious professions in this world?" asked Old Man Zhang suddenly.
"What is that? Do you count as a blind man?" the girl snickered in a low voice, revealing a mouthful of crystal teeth.
"Nonsense, how can I be a Mengren? Even if I am a Mengren, it is well-intentioned...... But that's not the case. The three professions I'm talking about, those that can't be seen in leisure, the first one, is called a credit knife man. "Old man Zhang is full of wine and food, and the conversation is quite strong.
"Ah, I've heard of this, but I haven't really seen it. The girl's eyes widened.
It is said that there were people who did this for a long time, and they walked the streets and alleys with large baskets full of kitchen knives or sickles, but they did not sell knives, but knives on credit, and did not charge a penny.
However, when they leave, they will always leave a prophecy, make an appointment with the buyer, and wait until the day when the prophecy comes true, and then collect the money, of course, the price will be a little more expensive.
But the prophecies they leave behind are often unbelievable and unbelievable, and in the eyes of the knife buyers, it is impossible or difficult to fulfill. There are many kinds of prophecies, there is everything, some good and some bad.
For example, the person who gives the knife will predict that the children of the main family will be the top liberal arts or science students in the county, city or even province when they take the college entrance examination, which is a good prophecy.
It is also predicted that some disasters will occur in the local area one day in the future, such as natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, tornadoes, etc., which is bad.
But some places are simply the Loess Plateau, how can there be any typhoons and floods? Isn't this nonsense! So most buyers will gladly leave their knives behind, because they feel that they are all for nothing.
Bad prophecies feel that he is not accurate at all, if good prophecies come true, then who cares about these little money? Some of these prophecies have come true, and some have not been fulfilled at all, but whether they are fulfilled or not, those credit knife people have never appeared again......
This is one of the reasons why everyone thinks this industry is mysterious, because the three hundred and sixty lines are all made to make a living, what are you busy with if you don't make money?
There is also a theory that they did not mean to give the knife on credit, but to give the knife. Because the knife is a murder weapon, it symbolizes the disaster of blood and light!
The purpose of their swords is actually to pass on the blood and light disaster on other people's bodies, which is a very evil ancient spell......
As for whether it is true or not, few people know.
In fact, there are not many people who have actually seen a knife on credit, especially in recent years, so many people think that this may just be a legend, they don't actually exist......
The second profession is the men in black, they are not the men in black who specialize in dealing with aliens in the science fiction movies of country M, but some people who help deal with all kinds of tricky things.
It is said that no matter how difficult it is, as long as they take over, there is nothing that cannot be done. Whether it's killing people or saving people, in short, whatever it is, they can handle it.
Because they wear black clothes when they hang out, they are called black people. They are really mysterious, let alone have seen them, and even know that their industry exists...... Of course, it may also be a folk rumor.
The third mystical profession is called a messenger. As the name suggests, they are dedicated to sending letters to people, and it is said that these people are a bunch of scuds, who can travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night......
This must be fake, because Dai Zong is just a fabrication of the Water Margin novel, and there is no such number as him in history.
But the messenger is real, as long as they answer, it will help you deliver, whether it is water, fire, heaven and earth, or even outer space and hell!
As for who they serve, there are all kinds of people, rich tycoons, peddlers, pawns, beggars and thieves......
As long as you can pay the price, they will do it for you.
And they don't just ask for money, they can send letters, any gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as long as they are satisfied.
They may also ask for a promise from the customer, or something on them. Like one of his shoes, or a hat, or a hand, or a leg, or an ear, or even his life!
Of course, this is consensual, if you think it's worth it, pay as promised, and if it's not worth it, they won't force it.
"Really, what did you say?" The girl always felt that it was all legends, how could there be such a strange profession in the world, it must be the old man talking nonsense to amuse himself.
This bad old man has always been very bad, I believe you are a ghost!
"Hehe, of course it's true, this boss is the messenger! What they said just now is the code word of the appointment, someone wants to do their business. Old man Zhang snorted at the back kitchen.
"Ahh
"Huh? What do you mean by this? Your grandfather and I are so old, can I still lie to you? Okay, are you full? When you are full, pack up and go home! This ghost weather is not going to rain, my legs and feet are a little painful, go back and you help me pinch well, alas...... This man is old, and his body is not good!"
The autumn rain is endless, and the moon will not be visible tonight, the night is deep, but Shangguan Qingyu still hasn't slept, she is waiting for the person she is looking for to come to her, why hasn't she come so late? Will they still miss the appointment......
"Who does the girl want to send a letter to?" Suddenly a shrill voice sounded outside the window, Shangguan Qingyu flew up, and wanted to open the window to check, but the voice said: "There is no need to open the window, does the girl want to deliver a token or a message?"
"Hmm...... Well, pass the word. It's for a person named Xiang Ze, he is on an overseas desert island at the moment, you know the survival show that is very popular now, right? I bother you to tell him that Nangong is in trouble, please ask him to ......" Shangguan Qingyu explained as simply as possible.
"Good. The man outside the window agreed, "Is there anything else?"
"No, thank you. Shangguan Qingyu has been thinking about these words for a long time, and there is nothing missing.
"No thanks, we just repay your favor, and from now on, we will be clear. The man said that he did not move again.
