Chapter 207: The Legend of the Serpent in the Moon
"Why did Miss Ling come to us on this one-third of an acre of land?"
The fat man was holding a teacup, and his tone of voice was not friendly, after all, Lingqian could not be regarded as a friend to us. I also fought in the Great Black Mountain.
"I heard you caught the monkeys. ”
Sure enough, I still came for business, and I smiled on the side and said, "We don't sell the monkey, the gold behind it." ”
"I think you misunderstood, I didn't plan to buy a monkey, and the grand event in Sanjiang City is not the excitement of our Ling family. However, you have the ability to catch the monkey, and I think you should be able to join forces with me again and make a deal. ”
To my surprise, the reason she came to us was to find a helper.
The fat man also showed a surprised expression on his face, after all, the two sides had such an unpleasant quarrel in the Great Black Mountain, and then we almost blackmailed her, so she shouldn't have asked us for help.
"You Ling family are high-ranking families, and you still need the help of small people like us who have just debuted?"
I asked curiously.
Lingqian was silent for a while and then said, "Ninety percent of our Ling family's current masters are focused on my brother's major affairs, so there is a serious shortage of manpower, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Li Dunzhu for someone last time." This business can make 10,000 yuan for each of you, can you do it? If you don't do it, I'll find someone else. ”
There are no eternal enemies in the business field, only eternal interests.
"Tell me about it. ”
It happened to be a month before Zhong Yong's side handed over the body of the monkey, and this month we just took the opportunity to hide from Mr. Tang's people. What's more, I also need to replenish my equipment recently, and my hand is a little tight, and I won't push it if I have a business.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the snake in the moon?"
Lingqian asked.
The fat man and Luo Qiong were both suspicious, and at this time I spoke: "The snake in the moon is a legend that has been circulated in a small number of people in Shaanxi. Legend has it that Chang'e entered the heavenly court, and only the jade rabbit accompanied her in the Guanghan Palace, feeling very lonely and lonely. One day, she made a vow, saying that she hoped that there would be something to accompany her and be her companion again. Unexpectedly, this wish was heard by a passing fairy, who was disgusted with Chang'e's beauty because of her jealousy, and after hearing her wish, she went to the world and grabbed a poisonous snake and threw it into the Guanghan Palace. When Chang'e saw the poisonous snake, she immediately subdued it, and wanted to kill it, but her heart was soft, and she felt that her life could not be killed easily. He released it from the Guanghan Palace and let it fall back to the world. Unexpectedly, because this snake had been in the sky, it was stained with fairy energy, and it became a snake spirit after landing, which is the origin of the snake in the moon. Legend has it that on a full moon night, a huge silver snake will be seen on the top of the mountain looking at the sky. When the moonlight pours on it, the silver serpent's body glows brilliantly. In ancient times, many people witnessed it, and over time, the legend of the snake in the moon spread in some places in Shaanxi. ”
I explained in detail, Lingqian looked at me and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to know." ”
"It's just the occasional dabbling. ”
"That's just a legend, what's the matter? Is there really a moon snake appearing? haha. ”
The fat man quipped.
Unexpectedly, Lingqian actually nodded and said, "Yes, someone saw it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the fat man's face immediately froze, and I also showed a look of surprise and asked, "Has anyone seen the snake in the moon?"
"In Taibai Mountain in Baoji County, when the moon was full, someone saw silver light flashing on the peak. It is shaped like a big snake, looking at the bright moon in the sky from afar. If the rumors are true, this must be the snake in the moon. ”
"Baoji Taibai Mountain, the eleventh Dongtian in Taoism, that is the spiritual mountain with the legendary immortals. ”
I said in surprise.
"You're not going to let us catch the moon snake, are you? Obediently, if that thing is real, it's just a fairy thing, more powerful than a demon! ”
The fat man hurriedly waved his hand and shouted.
"It's not sure if it's a moon snake yet, but we have to do a field investigation to find out. ”
"If it's true, and we are willing to do this business, you only give 10,000, who will fight with you?"
Luo Qiong, this kid and the fat man have been staying for a lot, and when he opens his mouth, it is money, but he still cares about it.
Ten thousand, let's go and fight the legendary goblins?
"This 10,000 is just a deposit for you, if it is only a rumor spread by the locals, then you take this 10,000 yuan, and I will not ask for it back. But if it is found out, then I will give you an additional 100,000, but as long as you receive a deposit of 10,000, you must help me, if you don't help, don't blame me for being polite. ”
In other words, you must do things to collect money, but the price of 100,000 yuan is not bad.
I didn't speak, I consciously didn't interject when it was my turn to talk about business, the fat man drank tea and smiled and shook his head and said, "Miss Ling, this price is too bullying." ”
Lingqian Xiumei frowned and asked, "What do you mean, you are still not satisfied?"
"Of course not. Miss Ling is afraid that she hasn't been in the market outside for a long time, and now the starting price of all the jobs that have to do with mythical goblins is 200,000. When the time comes, the matter will be completed, and the money for the corpse will have to be divided. Miss Ling offered a price of 10,000 people regardless of whether it was successful or not, which seems to be generous, but with all due respect, you are playing us for fools. ”
The fat man spit out the tea foam in his mouth and said coldly.
"That's it, if Miss Ling really wants to cooperate. Then divide the corpse of the snake in the middle of the month into two percent, and the price is about the same. ”
The fat man actually didn't kill her, and after doing the math, you will find that his price is fair.
Lingqian thought for a while and said, "Okay, if the business is successful, I will divide you into two." ”
"Refreshing!"
The fat man said with a smile, stretched out his hand, Lingqian shook hands with him and took out the contract, and both parties signed after writing down the price and pressed their handprints.
"I'll let you know when I'm ready. By the way, you have also made a lot of money, why do you still look so poor? Why don't you buy a big brother to have fun? Forget it, I don't want to talk about it, I guess I'll give you news tomorrow. ”
With that, she went out.
As soon as she left, the fat man put away the contract and said, "Shanzi, we are not safe." ”
"I know what you mean, there must be something wrong with this chick. On the one hand, it can be seen that she is actually not rich in money, and the second lady of the dignified family will actually show her poverty. And on the other hand, what she wants to do is not a trivial matter, the Ling family has no one to help, and there is no reason why there is something going on between her and Lingyan. ”
I nodded.
"Our house isn't safe either, damn it, anyone can find it. I think we have to change the nest when we have a chance, and the cunning rabbit still has three holes, and we can't always bring trouble to the door. ”
The fat man is right, when he has some spare money in his hands after finishing this matter, he is ready to get a new stronghold and make a strategic transfer.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lingqian came in a car. Help us book a train ticket for the next day, set off to Baoji Taibai Mountain at noon, early in the morning I and the fat man have a chance to go to the morning market again to see if there are any good things.
With the 10,000 yuan deposit given by Lingqian, the waist pole is much harder when there is money in his pocket.
There are not many people in the morning market, there are few stalls, and there are not many people selling things. There are even fewer people who sell our business.
"Huh?"
The fat man seemed to have seen something good, and walked over quickly, and saw an old man sitting on the stall with a few clothes in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
I asked, these clothes don't look like good goods, but the fat man squats down and flips them over, and what is revealed under the clothes is actually a watch!
"Why do you have a watch?"
I asked in surprise.
The old man glanced at me and said, "It's still this fat guy who knows how to do it." ”
"It's all in the way, or it's the defective goods that have been returned from the factory, and it's not the right way anyway. Put it under your clothes for fear of being remembered, and you are afraid of being seen by police comrades. Generally, they are sold cheaply, but they are all branded. ”
The fat man glanced at it, picked up a Shanghai brand watch, the silver strap looked foreign, and I asked, "How much is this watch?"
"Hehe, if you really want it, I'll give you a cheaper, one hundred and fifty yuan. ”
This price is actually not cheap at all, but the Shanghai brand watch was in demand at that time, and one hundred and fifty yuan was not expensive for us, so I took the fat man to buy it, and the fat man looked at it and liked it very much, but in the end he put it down, shook his head and said: "Forget it, keep the money to buy it useful, this watch is good-looking, useless." ”
After saying that, I turned around and left, I squatted on the ground and looked at his back, and then silently took out the money......"
