Chapter 31: Turn over the monsters
It's no surprise that Tauchi has such an idea. It's been almost a month since he came to the first layer of hell, and the good people of the eighth world have been sent to hell, and no one will be happy if they encounter such an unlucky thing. What's more, Tao Qi was already about to re-enter reincarnation, but he fell into this quagmire for no reason and couldn't get out, so he was naturally extremely depressed. Now that there is an opportunity to meet the warden to complete the task of this trip, how can he not be moved?
Cheng Muran pondered for a while before slowly raising his head and looking at Tao Qi sincerely: "Brother, when you first came to our mine, you once said: You have been in the city for seven days and have a lot of merit points, and you came here this time just to find the warden to do something, and you will leave when the matter is done, right?" ”
Tao Qi looked at Cheng Muran's sincere eyes, and said hesitantly in his heart: "This...... Now I'm not sure if I really had that merit, and the seven days I spent in the city of Xudu now look back like a dream. At that time, when we used merit, we had never come into contact with merit bonds, which were just a kind of exchange of numbers like transfers. ”
Tauchi tried to use his words so that the old brothers, who had been in the first hell for more than twenty years, could understand what he was saying.
Cheng Muran was silent again, but this time he was silent for only a few seconds, and then said to Tao Qi as if he had made up his mind: "Since I have been a brother once, how can I not give my brother a chance, this time we will directly hand over this demon beast to the warden!" ”
Liu Biao and the old bird couldn't help but look at Cheng Muran with stunned eyes, the old bird wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, but Liu Biao gritted his teeth and said to Tao Qi: "Well, since Boss Cheng said so, then I have no opinion, not to mention that I originally planned to hand over that guy directly to the warden, what kind of lawsuit is it to trade to the boss of other mines?" Are we inherently worse than them? ”
Liu Biao's words were categorical, as if he didn't nod his head when Cheng Ran said just now that he would sell this Desert Mirage Beast to other mines, and the speed of his transformation made people impressed.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, even if he was as thick-skinned as Liu Biao, his face was red, and then he pointed at Tao Qi and said, "Aren't I also looking at the reincarnation of this kid!" ”
"I have one condition, though." Cheng Muran looked at Tao Qi's eyes and said solemnly.
Seeing him so solemn, Tao Qi also knew that Cheng Muran must have something important to agree to, presumably this matter would not be simple, but he still looked at Cheng Muran with firm eyes and replied, "Please speak!" ”
"I want you to promise: if you really have so much merit as you said, then ask the warden to buy this demon beast in a targeted manner, and pay it in full cash on the spot, so that the warden will give us a commission of merit points that are enough for the three of us to get out of the first layer of hell, and we will be able to complete the task and return to reincarnation, can you do this?" Boss Cheng said it very seriously, and it was obvious that he had extremely ardent hopes for this.
Tao Qi was not surprised to hear Cheng Muran put forward this condition. No matter who it is, including leaders like Cheng Muran, Liu Biao, and Lao Bird, they are not comfortable in hell, even if Cheng Muran and the others say nothing in this oasis mine, they are not willing to continue to stay in this blazing cage. What's more, even the minions under the warden, if they have accumulated enough merit, will not hesitate to leave.
"Okay, I agree! Cheng Boss, Brother Biao, Brother Bird, here the younger brother promises: As long as I do have enough merit points, I will never break my word! Tauchi replied without hesitation, but he didn't say it completely, after all, he wasn't sure that he could do it when he got to the warden.
"With your words, the brothers will be free!" Cheng Muran looked at Liu Biao and Lao Niao, and said happily, "Our loss is worth it." ”
The old bird also nodded and said, "Well, even if it doesn't work, it's worth it with your words, little brother!" ”
The little man Liu Biao didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of expectation.
The matter was decided, and the few people stopped being verbose at the moment, and the old bird put the Desert Mirage Beast in a proper place, rested separately, and prepared to hand over the goods and this rare demon beast the next day. Several people were so tired on the road that their even snoring could soon be heard.
After a night of silence, the next day, the re-energized men left the caravan to rest, inspected the goods, and under the guidance of the old bird, pushed the cart with several young men to the center of Shura City, the receiving point where the goods were handed in, that is, the official residence of the warden.
As the team walked, there were no tall buildings in this sandy city, and the tallest building was the warden's residence. It's about two stories tall, and its gourd-like shape stands out in a city of low-sand and mud houses.
When the team approached the warden's residence, Tao Qi realized that the building was actually quite large, dozens of meters long and wide, and it looked the size of a football field. It doesn't look like the official residence of a high-ranking government official, but more like a large farmers' market. The shouting and shouting one after another, the quarrels mixed with various accents are endless, the food and minerals and other materials are piled up indiscriminately, the camel caravans and trolleys shuttle between them, and from time to time there are minions under the warden's men shouting and scolding something.
The procession easily weaved through the gaps in the piles of goods and entered this huge bazaar-like mansion. There was a sense of cacophony, and it was easy to squeeze into the very center of the residence, and Tao Qi saw rows of earthen tables with people trading goods in exchange for bonds. On some earthen tables, there are also wardens' subordinates collecting merit vouchers and exchanging them for necessary water and daily necessities to everyone, which of course are very expensive.
The old bird took everyone and the goods to an empty earthen table, and chatted with the man in front of the earthen table wearing the work uniform of the warden. The warden's men kept a register of the goods in condition and quantity, while the Taughs waited silently behind.
After a long time, just when Tao Qi was already a little drowsy, he suddenly heard the staff member who was obviously supposed to be a man, and his voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and the voice sounded like a hen that had been grabbed by the neck, so that everyone nearby couldn't help but look at him.
"What, monster! You're going to hand over a monster this time? ”
