Chapter 9 The World is Unpredictable

The boss was talking about one of the "Seven Mysteries of Fuxian Lake", a strange stone fish, and what he described was basically the same as in the travel brochure. The only difference is that the boss used the "lake god" to explain the mystery of "fish do not come and go".

The boss sat down with a smile: "If the little brother is interested, I will tell you about the lake god." ”

I smiled and looked at my boss and said, "I just want to hear what's going on." ”

The boss said unhurriedly: "Little brother should have heard that Yunnan is also called Yunnan and Yunnan, right?"

I nodded, "I know somewhat." ”

The boss smiled slightly: "Before the Han Dynasty, Yunnan was not incorporated into the territory of any country, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Yunnan was subjugated to the imperial court. Let's not talk about the rest of the matter, before that, there were only tribes and no countries in Yunnan, you should understand, right?"

The boss obviously had something to say, so I couldn't help frowning and said, "Boss, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

The boss half-leaned on the chair: "The little brother shouldn't be here to buy things, but to inquire about things, right?

I was shocked, but on the surface I was still calm: "Your joke is not funny. ”

The boss proudly pointed to the two girls behind me and said, "If you come by yourself, I really can't see anything." Unfortunately, you shouldn't have brought them with you. The two of them couldn't hold their breath, and they panicked when they saw the shark king. Especially her ......"

The person the boss pointed to was Dong Xiaowei: "You have been going around in circles with me, you just don't want me to see your true purpose." She was different, and when she saw the picture, she couldn't wait to know what I was going to say next. She sold you. ”

"Admire!" I gave my boss a thumbs up, "It's worthy of the old Jianghu." ”

People in the antiques business are the most observant. In the antique business, if you can't even see if the customers are not moving, then you really don't need to mess around. I didn't think I had any flaws, but the two girls couldn't hold their breath and sold me. Now that the bottom has been revealed, I simply said, "I did get into some trouble, otherwise I wouldn't have come over to inquire about it." The boss has something to say. ”

"Okay!" the boss said unhurriedly, "I still say the same thing, there are tribes in Yunnan, and there have been countless changes of royal power, so there are countless legends of Fuxian Lake." If you have time, you can inquire about the legend of the Fuxian Lake God, I guarantee you can hear at least ten versions. ”

The boss looked at me and said word by word: "If you have time, you can try one by one which legendary lake god is the master of Fuxian Lake." However, what you lack most is time. ”

I calmly looked at my boss and said, "So what?"

The boss stretched out a hand to himself: "So, I am the only one who can tell you the truth." If you want to live, take out your foxbell and exchange it. ”

I looked at the boss coldly and said, "How do I know if what you said is true or false?"

The boss said proudly: "A person who dares to eat next to the dead people in Fuxian Lake will not know the truth? Of course, you can also go and verify whether my words are true or false." I'm not in a hurry. ”

The boss ate my weakness, and of course he wouldn't be in a hurry.

I squinted my eyes at the other person, and I had already moved to catch the person first and then force him to ask him the truth, but the boss calmly knocked on the corner of the table. He should have meant that there was an alarm device there, and if I dared to do it, I would never be able to please it.

I pushed aside the photo in front of me and stood up and said, "There will be a date later." ”

When I turned to walk out, the boss suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute. You pick three swords and take them. A broken sword can save you once, and three swords can make you survive three days. If you change your mind after three days, you can come back to me. ”

According to my own temper, I would have turned around and left, but Zhang Shu pulled me dead and said, "Wang Huan, you bring three swords......! We still have classmates......"

Oops.

I can't wait to give Zhang Shu, a stupid girl, a mouthful. Now that I've fallen into the disadvantage, she adds such a sentence, and the boss is even more emboldened.

However, she had already said what she had said, and I couldn't pull it back if I wanted to, so she simply turned around and took three of the best swords from the table, wrapped them in cloth, and brought them out of the antique shop.

When I walked out of the antique shop, Dong Xiaowei said cautiously: "Wang Huan, it's all wrong to blame us for causing trouble for you." ”

"Forget it. I waved my hand and walked to the meeting place without saying a word.

I went back with a glimmer of hope.

In case my classmates find out about a useful legend, or find the old man, I might be able to deduce some clues. If it is true that the owner of the antique shop said, then my last clue will have to fall on the iron sword I have tucked under my armpit......

I started by setting up a meeting place in a rented yard. No one dared to go back to the hotel, we had to find a place to spend the night, and we couldn't get more than a dozen people to gather on the street and wait for dawn. Fortunately, most of us have cash with us, my mobile phone is fine, and my bank card can also transfer money, so it is not a problem to rent a yard for a few days.

By the time I got back to the meeting point, all of my classmates had already returned. As soon as I saw them, my heart sank. More than a dozen people seemed to have just cried, their eyes were red and swollen, and their faces were full of tears, and they knew that they must be scared again without asking.

I threw three swords on the table: "What do you hear?

The legends that my classmates brought back were all sorts, but the result was exactly the same - whoever touched the silver mackerel in the lake had to be dragged into the water to fill the lake, and no one could escape.

I resisted the irritability in my heart and said, "Who has heard of that old man?"

"I ......" Zhang Hao's lips trembled when he spoke, "I...... I heard that the old man had died the night before. Before he died, he was seen carrying a man into the lake, and then the two of them fell into the lake together and never came out......"

The more Zhang Hao spoke, the lower his voice became: "I heard that someone called the old man at that time and asked him what he was doing, but the old man didn't look back, but the person he was carrying turned back." The man lay on top of the old man, and when he turned back, a pair of fish eyes peeked out of his hair. The man who called out to him sat on the ground in fright, and watched as the old man walked step by step into the lake, leaving the lake without a roof. ”

The ancient city under the lake is not yet full of people, and the lake god has to pull people to fill in the lake every year until the ancient city is full. Wang Huan, let's finish!"

Zhang Hao was about to cry when he spoke. I raised my hand and gave the other party a mouth: "Hold it back for me, aren't we not dead?"

I beat Zhang Hao to a dead end, and then I sat on the chair and began to wonder if there was anything in common with the legends brought back by those classmates. Before I could figure out the key, I heard Zhang Shu talking about our visit to the antique shop.

When she finished speaking, my classmates looked at my face together, and someone hesitated for a while before saying, "Wang Huan, or ...... Why don't you give someone your bell, and how much does your bell cost, we'll make up ......."

"Fart!" I yelled angrily, "I have to give him whatever he wants?"

"That's different. Someone retorted, "Money is something outside of the body, what could be more important than life?"

I was furious and said, "It's true that money is something outside the body, but the calf is taking advantage of the fire to rob, can't you see it?"

Zhang Shu didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and then rushed to say: "We all said, how much is your pair of fox bells, we are willing to pay you, it's a big deal, we will give you an IOU." Wang Huan, now that everyone's safety is in your hands, are you reluctant to let go of such a pair of bells? Besides, we don't want your things for nothing. ”

"Lao Tzu's foxbell, you can't afford it. "I also know that money is something outside of my body, but I really can't swallow this breath, and that boss is obviously taking advantage of others. It's not that my classmates don't see this, it's just that they care more about getting results from their bosses. In their opinion, I should have taken out the foxbell in exchange.

Someone mixed in the crowd and whispered, "I think you also want to take advantage of the fire to rob, right?"

"Who's a fart!" I was furious. They saw that I was so angry that no one would speak again, and of course no one admitted to taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Only Dong Xiaowei said softly: "Wang Huan, don't be angry first." Don't be emotional, what the boss said may not be true, let's see the results tonight. ”

Dong Xiaowei originally wanted to calm things down, but someone said: "What if something happens again tonight?"

Zhang Shu took the lead and asked me, "Wang Huan, what should you do if something happens again tonight?"

The anger I had just suppressed was stirred up again: "Whoever dies is unlucky, what a matter?"

"You ......" a girl said with tears in her eyes, "Wang Huan, you can say this kind of thing, thanks to our classmates for four years." We've all mistaken you. ”

I looked at each other with a gloomy face: "It's not too late to see clearly." You'd better stay away from me. ”

Dong Xiaowei saw that I was angry again, and hurriedly pulled me to the yard: "Wang Huan, don't say a word, everyone is a classmate." If we replace you with them, don't you also hope to exchange the foxbell for the message? Don't be angry, can you sit for a while?"

"Hmm!" I sat in the courtyard for a long time, until it was getting dark, I pushed open the door and walked into the house, picked up the iron sword, wrapped it in my clothes, and said to Dong Xiaowei, "I'll go out to do something, you be careful yourself." ”

Dong Xiaowei's face turned pale with fright: "Wang Huan, what are you going to do?"
