Chapter 0548 Greed
Mo Xiaosheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, he obviously didn't expect this bald man to agree so happily.
Anina couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked Mo Xiaosheng in a low voice, "Mo, did you say that he would agree to take us into that mountainous area?"
Although the bald man agreed to be their guide, the bald man did not know that they were going into the deep mountains and old forests over there.
If the bald man knew in advance, it was very likely that he would reject them, so Mo Xiaosheng was not in a hurry to say it, and in front of the old village chief, the old village chief would definitely be the first to object.
"It's not easy to get him to say yes!"
Mo Xiaosheng squeezed his eyes at her, smiled confidently, and said disapprerovitically.
"Are you packed, let's go now?"
The bald man took a few puffs of the old village chief's cigarette pouch, glanced at Mo Xiaosheng and Anina, and asked lightly.
"Well, let's go!"
Mo Xiaosheng nodded.
The bald man immediately waved into the distance, and the shrewd young fart who had been following him ran over.
"Bolt, today we will go up the mountain with this Mr. Mo and this president!"
The bald man turned his head and instructed the bolt, "Be clever on the road!"
"Yes!"
The bolt smiled and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people set off separately, and on the way, Mo Xiaosheng showed the bald man the map of the area they had mainly investigated in the past few days, and the bald man nodded and said, "I am familiar with this piece!"
Saying that, the bald man took Mo Xiaosheng directly and they went into the forest.
"We're not here to investigate today!"
Mo Xiaosheng took the map in the bald man's hand, pointed to the deep mountains and old forests on the side of his mouth, and said to the bald man and the bolt, "We want to go here!"
When the bald man and the bolt saw the place Mo Xiaosheng was referring to, their faces changed suddenly, they glanced at each other, and the bald man said to Mo Xiaosheng in a deep voice: "Didn't Uncle tell you, it's very dangerous here, don't let you in!"
"You've been in, haven't you? Do you think it's really that dangerous in there?"
Mo Xiaosheng didn't answer him, squinted at him and asked him rhetorically.
The bald man was slightly stunned by Mo Xiaosheng's question, and then his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Anyway, I won't go in here!"
The bolt also nodded and agreed, "That's it, we only promised to help you lead the way, but we didn't say that we would take our lives into it!"
Mo Xiaosheng didn't argue with the two of them, he directly unloaded the backpack, took out a stack of cash from the pocket on the inside of the backpack, handed it to the bald man and the bolt, and said in a fixed voice: "Here is 50,000 yuan, as long as you help us lead the way, these are all yours!"
is the so-called man dies for money, birds die for food, this is Mo Xiaosheng's method of persuading the bald man, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be communicated.
These cash were given to him by Qiao Yiyi before Mo Xiaosheng left, so that he could prepare for emergencies, Mo Xiaosheng didn't want to bring it, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
After seeing the cash in Mo Xiaosheng's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he swallowed his saliva, revealing a huge sense of greed.
For an ordinary villager in the mountains, the 50,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money, and it will take at least three or four years of struggle to earn it.
Especially the plug is still the kind of person who is lazy and likes to play a little smart, and usually has a lower income, so he is naturally excited to see such a large sum of money at once.
The bald man was also moved when he saw the large stack of saffron banknotes in Mo Xiaosheng's hand, but he didn't speak with a calm face, as if he was weighing something.
"Brother, why don't we take them in and around?"
The bolt smiled and asked tentatively at the bald man.
The bald man slapped the bolt on the head, and said coldly: "Look at your little interest, 50,000 yuan will buy our lives?"
Mo Xiaosheng knew that the bald man was talking to him, obviously because he didn't think much money, so he smiled faintly and said: "I came out in a hurry, I only brought so much money, as long as you promise to help us lead the way, I can transfer another 50,000 yuan to you when I go back!"
"Ten...... 100,000?"
Hearing this, the bolt's eyes suddenly widened, and he was excited, and hurriedly persuaded the bald man, "Brother, let's agree!
You know, they've taken the road so many times in the past few days, and they haven't caught a penny, so if they can make so much money this time, even if they really let him throw his life away, he is willing.
Mo Xiaosheng also seemed to be moved when he saw the bald man, and continued to persuade: "We went in to investigate, not to go in to find death, and the two of us don't want to have an accident either, if there is danger, we can escape as soon as possible!"
The bald man licked his lips, squinted and thought about it, then pointed to Anina's white wrist and said, "I want that bracelet on her hand!"
Mo Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, turned his eyes to look at the table in Anina's hand, frowned slightly, he didn't expect this bald man to be so greedy, the bracelet on Anina's hand is jade, at least worth hundreds of thousands.
"You have too much appetite, we're just letting you lead the way!"
Mo Xiaosheng frowned and said unhappily to the bald man, for him, hundreds of thousands of dollars are just a small amount of money, but whether he has money or not, he doesn't like to be cheated like this.
"Do you love to promise or not, if you don't promise, I won't take this way!"
The bald man sneered, held his head high, and said proudly.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Anina was very free and easy, and took off the bracelet on her hand.
Although this bracelet was worth a lot of money, it was really nothing to her, so she handed it to the bald man without the slightest hesitation.
The bald man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the bracelet, he used to make a living with people who touched gold, so he also had a certain understanding of these jade ornaments and other things, and when he saw the bracelet on Anina's hand before, he knew that this bracelet was definitely expensive.
The bolt also happily compacted, reached out and wanted to touch the bracelet in the bald man's hand, the bald man opened his hand, and said to Mo Xiaosheng: "Your 50,000 yuan, give it to my brother!"
Mo Xiaosheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, a little shocked by the greed of the bald man, he accepted such a valuable bracelet, and he didn't forget the 50,000 yuan, obviously the bald man wanted to use the 50,000 yuan to send the bolt away, and he swallowed the bracelet himself.
Mo Xiaosheng didn't bother with him, and directly handed the 50,000 yuan to the bolt.
After taking the stack of cash, the bolt grinned at the back of his head, thanked Mo Xiaosheng repeatedly, and said flatteringly: "Brother, give me your bag, I'll help you carry it!"
As the saying goes, take people's money to do things for others, and after putting the money in his pocket, he immediately became attentive.
"I don't need it, you can help President Annina get it!"
Mo Xiaosheng shook his head and said, and then motioned to Anina to carry the bag to the bolt.
The food, tools and positioning equipment in this mountaineering bag weigh dozens of pounds together, which is really a bit difficult for Anina.
Anina didn't refuse either, and directly gave the bag to the plug.
"I tell you, you'll have to listen to me for everything when you go in a while, and if I say go, you must go!"
As he walked, the bald man chopped the surrounding branches and debris with the woodcutter in his hand.
"That's nature!"
Mo Xiaosheng nodded and said, "When you entered that forest back then, did you encounter something?!"
"Yes, bald brother, what did you see when you entered that forest that year?"
The bolt suddenly became interested, and asked curiously.
The bald man's face changed, he glanced back at Mo Xiaosheng and Anina, and then said in a gloomy voice: "I went into the forest to pick a precious medicinal herb and sell it for money, but as soon as I walked seven or eight miles to the forest, I heard a strange sound!"
"Strange sounds?"
The eyes of Mo Xiaosheng and the others were suddenly full of curiosity, "What a strange sound!"
"I don't know, it's neither a human voice nor an animal voice!"
The bald man continued to speak in a gloomy voice, with a cold light in his eyes, which made him feel a little gloomy.
"It's not a human or an animal, is it a ghost?!"
The plug was obviously a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice.
"I don't know!"
The bald man shook his head with a calm face, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, it's a very terrifying sound, it sounds hairy!"
"Isn't it a human voice? Could it be a ghost?"
Seeing the bald man's gloomy face, the bolt couldn't help but shudder, and asked with some fear,
"I don't know if it's a ghost or not, but I saw a big black shadow flashing in the woods, and I was so frightened that I immediately ran outside! I didn't look back, but I could feel him chasing after me......
The bald man seemed to think of some terrifying sight, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "I can feel the heat it squirting on the back of my neck just as it is about to catch up with me...... No, the gas is cold......"
Mo Xiaosheng frowned slightly, his eyes looked at the bald man without blinking, I don't know if what he said is true, or if he deliberately made up a story to be scary.
Annina on the side was so frightened that she unconsciously came to Mo Xiaosheng's side, looked at the endless, dark and dense jungle in the distance, and couldn't help but feel that her heart was furious, and she always felt that a monster with fangs and claws would suddenly run out of the darkness.
"Bald brother, that ...... And then what?"
The plug asked in a low voice with some trembling.
"Then I ran out, but the thing was still behind me, and it was almost going to catch me, but luckily I don't know which village was hunting with a shotgun nearby, and then the thing might have been scared away!"
The bald voice said in a frightened voice, "I didn't dare to look back, so I ran out of the forest and ran back to the village......
"That'...... What the hell is that?!"
The plug said in a trembling voice.
"I don't know ...... either"
The bald man turned his head to look at Mo Xiaosheng and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to go in now?!"
"Sure!"
Mo Xiaosheng smiled faintly at him, thinking that the bald man was probably making up stories to deceive them, and said with a smile, "Maybe this thing you encountered is the source of the spread of the virus, and listening to what you said is so mysterious, if we encounter this thing and find that it is a new creature that has never been seen in the world, then the United Nations will have to give us an award!"
