Chapter 145: Black Tonic
Luo Sixiu and Zhu Hongbin went to Yongzhou City, Guixi Province, which is also a provincial capital, and the climate and scenery are actually not much different from Yangcheng. They first found a hotel to stay in.
In the evening, the two of them took a taxi together to the place mentioned by the middleman, Mr. Zhou, in a food stall next to a lively commercial street, which looked very close to the people. Seeing that there were a lot of delicious food, Zhu Hongbin also relaxed a lot.
"Mr. Luo, welcome, welcome! I'm really sorry to let you come all the way. "That Mr. Zhou looked like he was in his early thirties, but he was very energetic and wore a floral shirt. Luo Sixiu also exchanged pleasantries with him.
Mr. Zhou introduced Luo Sixiu again: "This is Mr. Xu, and he also came to me specifically to meet you." ”
Luo Sixiu looked at it, and the old Mr. Xu was a little older, and it was estimated that he was in his fifties, about the same age as Mr. Tang. His hair was slightly gray, and he didn't look like he was in good shape. Luo Sixiu and Zhu Hongbin also greeted Mr. Xu.
Mr. Zhou was the host and invited a few of them to dinner together. I ordered some local specialties in Yongzhou City, including appetizer lemon duck and beef offal pot in thick soup.
When the meal was about to be eaten, the middleman Mr. Zhou said to Mr. Xu: "Brother Xu, if you have anything, just tell Mr. Luo directly, I think this Mr. Luo is also a cheerful person." ”
Mr. Xu nodded and said to Luo Sixiu: "Don't tell Mr. Luo, I used to be a shuttle, but now that I'm older, there is basically nothing I can do." I have known Mr. Zhou for a long time, and he is very honest in doing things. I do things too. ”
Mr. Xu took a sip of tea and continued: "I need a supplement now, but I can't get it myself. So, I would like to ask you a favor. See if you can help me find it. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Luo Sixiu hurriedly asked, "I don't know what supplements you need?"
"I need a black supplement. Mr. Xu said.
"Black tonic...... It's not easy to find in World Five. This is not an ordinary tonic, if you eat a black tonic, people will ...... immediately" Luo Sixiu said, he didn't say that if he took a black tonic, people would die immediately, he estimated that Mr. Xu must know.
"I know, I just want to gamble...... Mr. Xu said.
"Bet?" Luo Sixiu was a little puzzled.
"Hmm. Mr. Xu nodded heavily, his expression a little solemn.
At this time, the middleman, Mr. Zhou, interjected again: "There is one of the thirty-six strategies, which is called long-distance and close attack. The two of us are far apart. You two, there are ......" He pointed at Zhu Hongbin again, Zhu Hongbin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't count, I don't know how to shuttle." ”
"Oh, you two shuttlers, you don't really have any conflicts of interest. Besides, it's exactly two generations. If you can, please ask Mr. Luo to help as much as possible. I've invited you here, and now that you've met, my mission is complete. Mr. Luo, I will transfer your money to you immediately, and this time, your handling fee will be waived completely. Mr. Zhou said.
That old Mr. Xu also said to Luo Sixiu: "Mr. Luo, please help me to go to the No. 5 world to find a way, if you can get it, I will thank you heavily." He didn't explain how he used the black supplement.
At this point, the meal is almost finished. Luo Sixiu originally wanted to talk to that old man Xu alone, but he mainly wanted to ask about some things about that old man Xu about shuttles. After all, until now, no one has been able to tell him very systematically what shuttle is all about.
However, the middleman, Mr. Zhou, first arranged a vehicle to send Mr. Xu back. And he looks like he is old, and his body is very weak. Luo Sixiu is not very good, and he deliberately dragged others to talk.
After Mr. Zhou sent Mr. Xu into the car, he wanted to help Luo Sixiu and the two of them take a taxi, and Luo Sixiu hurriedly said no. He asked again why the old gentleman Xu had to take the black tonic.
The middleman, Mr. Zhou, said: "I don't understand this, and I'm not a shuttle." I'm just doing some intermediary business. Mr. Xu is not in good health, and I heard that his illness is terminal...... Of course, others are still very nice. If you can help, try to help him. ”
Luo Sixiu had no choice but to nod and separate from the middleman, Mr. Zhou.
After returning to the hotel, Zhu Hongbin asked Luo Sixiu what supplements were. Luo Sixiu roughly told him that different supplements have different effects.
"What is the effect of the black tonic?" asked Zhu Hongbin.
"Black supplements...... It can make people die very quickly. In the world I've traveled through, black tonic is primarily used to kill a person, or to have a person kill themselves. Luo Sixiu said.
"Wow, that's ......" Zhu Hongbin gasped, and hurriedly said to Luo Sixiu: "Then you can't get a black tonic for Mr. Xu." He looked trembling, probably not wanting to live. Didn't you hurt him by giving him the black tonic?"
Luo Sixiu thought for a while and said, "If he really doesn't want to live, it's not just a way to take supplements. Besides, the effect of supplements in that world is different from that world. I'm not sure what black supplements do in this world. ”
"Then you can eat one and try it, and you will know. Zhu Hongbin said.
Luo Sixiu looked at him and did not speak. Zhu Hongbin seemed to react, and hurriedly said, "Hehe, I'm joking." ”
Back to a disease-free world.
Promi rummaged through his room for a long time, and sure enough, he found a black supplement. He was a little reluctant, but he took it anyway. Perhaps, this black tonic has other important effects for Mr. Xu.
The next afternoon, Luo Sixiu called the middleman Mr. Zhou again, saying that he had got what Mr. Xu wanted. The middleman, Mr. Zhou, came to their hotel to pick it up in person, saying that he would send it to Mr. Xu first, and made an appointment to have dinner with him in the evening.
In the evening, Mr. Zhou, the middleman, invited the two of them to a big dinner again, and said to Luo Sixiu: "Mr. Xu is very happy, he will try this supplement soon." He has repeatedly asked me to thank you, and when he is later, he will also transfer a little money to your account to express his gratitude. ”
Luo Sixiu was polite, and then asked, "Then Mr. Xu hasn't tried it yet, I don't know how the effect is?"
"He hasn't tried yet. He's also very cautious about this matter, and I don't know what will happen to it. The middleman, Mr. Zhou, said.
Luo Sixiu also said that he needed to exchange more gold, about 800,000. Mr. Zhou said no problem, and he helped him redeem it according to the preferential handling fee. If you don't bring all of them, it's no problem to wait for him to go back to Yangcheng and send it over to redeem it.
Luo Sixiu also brought some gold, but he didn't bring that much, so he asked Zhu Hongbin to bring them over and take them out to the middleman Mr. Zhou first.
Zhu Hongbin was still eating, and when he heard Luo Sixiu tell him to take out the gold, he immediately stopped his chopsticks. I took off my sneakers and pulled out a large handful of gold buttons from under the insole, at the sole.
Mr. Zhou pinched his nose, wrapped those gold buttons in a napkin, and said: "I have debuted for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this way of bringing goods." ”
