The vegetable market in the early morning is really deserted.

In front of a beef stall, the meat seller is sharpening his sharp knife, this boss has a beard, looks fierce and vicious, and is definitely not a good product.

I looked at the tall butcher from afar, and thought to myself that you must not offend this man, and if you offend him, maybe he will press you to the top of the board.

Just when I was distracted, the butcher stall owner slapped his scissors on the board, and shouted to Lao Duan: "Say a dick, the things you picked up in the garbage heap are still sold for such a high price, do you think I'm stupid?"

Obviously, Lao Duan raised the price, so the butcher stall owner was a little unconvinced.

But Lao Duan and the two of them relied on the two of them, and they didn't take the meat stall owner seriously, and still insisted on their own prices: "You have been selling junk meat for so many years, don't you know what this market is like? Although our things are picked up from the garbage heap, our quality is very good, every piece of meat is from Argentina, Argentine beef, you should know very well that it is much better than the dead cattle and rotten horses in your stall." ”

After hearing what Lao Duan said, the meat stall owner's eyes bulged into copper bells, and he was about to burst out.

He gritted his teeth and gurgled: "I said Lao Duan, you speak to me to pay attention, what I sell in my stall is freshly slaughtered beef, not dead cattle and rotten horses, if you dare to spread this word to me today, believe it or not, my surname is Zhang, you cut you and put it on the stall to sell." ”

"Zhang Dabeard, don't think that my old Duan is afraid of you, you have to pay that price today, if you say that price, my goods will be sold to other companies immediately. ”

Lao Duan pointed to the frozen products in his car, completely ignoring the meat stall owner in front of him, and sounded a little fearless.

The butcher stall owner snorted.

Much less arrogant than just now, he turned around and took a bag from the meat stall shelf, unzipped it, and said: "You kid don't think about changing hands, if you dare to change hands, I will report you, and let the anti-smuggling team arrest you and go to prison at night." ”

As he spoke, he took out a wad of money and stuffed it into Lao Duan's hand: "A total of 3900, order it yourself, try to come a little earlier next time, it's late, I'm not good at thawing." ”

Lao Duan took the money, counted the money and said: "Don't think that your brother-in-law is from the anti-smuggling team, you just take this sheep's head to sell dog meat, my nephew is still from the city management, you catch up with the anti-smuggling team to arrest me, then I will let the city management come to cut your stall every day." ”

Hearing this, it's a bit of a braggart.

The butcher stall owner didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and immediately moved the junk beef from Lao Duan's car.

I also walked over to move the goods with them, and the owner of the butcher stall saw that I was a new face, suddenly raised his vigilance, turned around and whispered to Lao Duan, "Where did this young man come from? Why have I never seen him before?"

"This is my colleague, I brought it to help me, no problem, don't worry. ”

Lao Duan patted me on the shoulder and said to the butcher stall owner.

The owner of the butcher stall stared at my face, and said with suspicion in his eyes: "Old Duan, don't do anything with me, you know my methods, and you dare to make me anxious, my old Zhang can do anything." ”

"Do I dare to do anything with your beard? Don't worry, Lao Zhang, my old Duan will not be so stupid and cut off his own money. ”

Lao Duan punched the bearded man surnamed Zhang, so that he could put down his vigilance, and by the way, he gave me a look, I saw Lao Duan's eyes, and quickly nodded, lowered my head and hurriedly moved the goods.

After listening to Lao Duan's words, the bearded man didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, picked up a sharp knife from the board and wiped it, and cut all the beef packages.

He pointed to a pool behind him and said, "Young man, come to us to see what you should see, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and if you see too much and ask too much, you may lose your life." ”

I nodded vigorously, pretending to be very sensible, and hurriedly said to him, "Big brother, do you want me to throw the beef into the pool to thaw?"

"I'm telling you, this pool is full of sulfuric acid, not for thawing, but if anyone dares to disobey? ”

After saying this, the bearded man suddenly cut a small piece of beef and threw it into the pool.

I saw a puff of white smoke rise, and the piece of beef turned into a puddle of pus in the pool, and I suddenly gasped as I looked at the scene in the pool.

I'm thinking, why does this meat seller threaten me so much, a meat seller, building a sulfuric acid pool behind his meat stall, what does he want to do, he doesn't really want to use this sulfuric acid pool to destroy the corpse, right?

When I was staring at the sulfuric acid pool in a daze, Lao Duan patted me behind me, handed me a wad of money and stuffed it into my hand, about five or six hundred yuan: "Xiao Wu, this is your reward tonight, don't look at it, don't look at it, hurry up, and go back to work." ”

I stared at the pile of money that Lao Duan handed me, stunned for a moment, and when I was still thinking about whether to take it, I saw Lao Duan glaring at me vigorously, as if signaling me to take the money quickly.

I followed Lao Duan's eyes and looked to the side, I saw the butcher stall owner holding a sharp knife in his hand, staring at me with a gloomy face, the butcher stall owner's expression was like a murderous look, which made my spine can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I hurriedly took the money from Lao Duan, and thanked Lao Duan: "Thank you Brother Duan, thank you Brother Duan, I have no money to pay the rent, there is no way, I can only come out and take some risks and earn some rent money." ”

I knew that Lao Duan gave me money to put the owner of the butcher stall next to him at ease.

Because only if I take the money, the butcher stall owner can think that I am in the same group as Lao Duan, if I don't take this money, the butcher stall owner will definitely be suspicious of me, and no one can predict what will happen next.

After the three of us left the vegetable market, I stuffed the money into Lao Duan's hand: "Lao Duan, I was fortunate that you were in a hurry just now, otherwise that guy might really do something." ”

"What do you mean by that? You can take the money you gave you, why do you want to pay me back? Are you really afraid that doing this is against the law?"

Lao Duan suddenly asked me in a cold voice, looking at his face, fighting with the butcher stall owner just now, I suddenly understood in my heart, in fact, this is their rule on the road, speaking with money.

If I had given him the money, something might have happened to me today.

Since his meat is taken out and sold to the owner of the meat stall, then he is in the same group as the owner of the meat stall, and now although he is out of the vegetable market, they will immediately turn around and enter the vegetable market and call the owner of the meat stall, and I am definitely not their opponent when I face three people alone.

Listening to his words, I didn't hesitate to stuff the money into my bag.

Hurriedly thanked him: "Since Brother Duan, you said so, then I might as well be respectful, I will accept this money, and I will take the time to invite you to dinner, and the two of you must appreciate it." ”

"Eating is free, as long as you don't go out and talk nonsense in the future, brother, remember, if I eat meat in the future, I will definitely let you drink soup with you, brother." ”

Lao Duan asked me to pick up the money, and my face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and I smiled heartily.

I felt for the wad of money in my pocket, turned around and looked at the gloomy market, wondering if the courier who had been murdered a few days ago had come to the market like me, but how did he die? Why did he end up in the garbage heap? This is also a mystery that is difficult to solve.

At this time, the guy who didn't like to talk and wore a hat suddenly asked me: "Brother, there is one thing I don't understand, why do you appear alone in the garbage heap at night, can't it really be to pick up goods?"

I chuckled in my heart.

This one in a hat, although he doesn't speak, is very thoughtful.

He asked me so suddenly, it seems that he has discovered something, and if I talk to him again, then something may happen tonight, because there is a saying called killing people, and I don't want to be the one who is killed by them.

It's a time of wits and I have to be calm.

I smiled and nodded and replied, "Actually, I was able to appear in the garbage dump by accident, you probably don't know, I came out so late to hunt." ”

"Hunting?"

The two of them turned their heads to me in unison.

They looked at me in disbelief, I looked polite, not like a hunter.

I spread my hands to them and continued to talk nonsense: "I'll tell you honestly, the reason why we went out to hunt so late is because we all carry air guns, and we only come out at night for fear of being caught. ”

"And where is the airsoft gun on you, where did it go? Why didn't we see it?"

The two became more and more suspicious, and continued to get to the bottom of it, since I said this, I must continue to talk nonsense: "Just when we arrived at the garbage dump, we met two people, because I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, another friend of mine ran away with two air guns first, and I went up to the garbage heap to check the situation and cover my friend to leave." ”

Seeing that I said it as if it was true, Lao Duan and the hat-wearers gradually believed my words, because now the gun inspection is very strict, and they also know that hunting with air guns is a criminal thing, if they are caught by the police, they will be detained or imprisoned, which is more serious than them digging garbage, so this illegal thing will definitely not be done so publicly.

Lao Duan listened to my statement, and laughed: "Brother, since your handle has been grasped in our hands, then brother, I want to tell you a word, vaccination, if you can't figure it out one day, and suddenly want to report us, then we will also report you." ”

"Just kidding, joking, why should I report you? I'm not full of food, not to mention such a lucrative thing, if the two brothers don't dislike it, when the goods are delivered at night in the future, you can call your brothers together, brother, I'm poor now, and I want to make some extra money to support my family." ”

I touched the bag containing the money, and the two of them looked at each other without making any indications, and it could be seen that in fact, you don't want me to join their gang.

That's right, like this kind of money-making thing, who wants to pull others in, in front of interests, feelings are just a joke.

Lao Duan said: "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to work at dawn soon, and I'll talk about the rest another day." ”
