I sat down next to the stove with few people in the second meat shop, and brought two dishes and a pot of wine to the master who was in charge of the spoon, and Qian Laosan didn't be more polite to the leopard, and swept away the wine and food in front of him like a whirlwind, and then poured the bad wine mixed with water straight into his neck into his stomach, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Oh, I went outside the city early in the morning to touch this little thing, and I didn't hit my teeth for a day, so how many souls are I at this time!" ”

Turning his head to look at Hu Qianli, who was sitting next to another stove holding a small wine cup and sipping his head down, Xiang Youbao took the bamboo chopsticks that had never touched the plate at all and gently knocked on the rat cage that Qian Laosan put at his feet: "Master Qian, this is all full of food and drink, let's also talk about the matter in front of the cat's door?" ”

Smacking his lips, Qian Laosan shook his head and smiled at Xiang Youbao: "Where is this?" Since we want to talk about the things in front of the cat's door, then we have to start from the beginning! I said this master, give me a pot of wine to moisten my throat, you listen to me and talk to you slowly."

Holding the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and shaking his wrist slightly, he didn't see how much strength the leopard exerted, but the two swarthy bamboo chopsticks were nailed into the wooden square on the rat cage like arrows!

Still with a smile on his face, Xiang Youbao didn't seem to see the stunned look on Qian Laosan's face at all, and smiled at Qian Laosan in a low voice: "Master Qian, this place is not a flyover, and you are not a crosstalk on the overpass!" If the story that comes out of your mouth doesn't sound like a good ear, if there are two more holes in your body, then no amount of ocean can make up for it! ”

Raising his hand and beckoning the guy in the second meat shop to send over another pot of bad wine, Xiang Youbao pushed the pot of bad wine in front of the dumbfounded Qian Laosan: "Master Qian, take a sip of wine to moisten your throat, let's talk about it?" ”

looked at Xiang Youbao sitting next to him timidly, and Qian Laosan seemed to have just woken up from a big dream. He snorted and said, "He really has to start from the beginning!" This is more than half a year ago, and I don't know where I got such news, saying that there are some rats in the hands of the cat master in the north of the city who have not trained all the work, and they can take some valuable things out of people's houses. But because they couldn't be trained to do all the work, these rats can't guarantee how long they can live after they get their hands on it, and secondly, they don't care if they keep their value or not! ”

looked at Qian Laosan in some surprise. Xiang Youbao interjected curiously and asked, "Master Qian, isn't it so believable to say this?" The gentlemen walking on the scene in Sijiu City, where can there be such a dead-eyed character? I know it's a matter of not being sure, but I'm still going to stick into it? ”

After holding the wine jug, Qian Laosan took a big mouthful of bad wine from the wine jug and swallowed it, only then he grinned and waved his hand at Xiang Youbao again and again: "This master, what you said is really not wrong at all!" But I can't stand it, and then there is really the fat master who is bold, and he spends money to take a white-haired mouse from the hand of the housekeeper next to the cat master, and he takes out a string of purple coral Buddha beads from a large family in one night. The piggyback hand also took out a small bronze seal! I took it to the characters who like gold and stone antiques, and I changed it to a set of courtyard houses with three entrances inside and out! If it weren't for the fact that the white-haired rat died the next day, maybe the master would have made a lot of money! ”

Frowning slightly, Xiang Youbao looked at Qian Laosan, who was dancing with his eyebrows, and said softly: "This matter is mysterious? Aren't you afraid that it will be a string of bells (Note 1)? ”

With a wave of his hand, Qian Lao San replied with a grin: "At first, many people also thought about it like this, but later someone came up to the cat master and touched the things, and they all got some benefits." As far as the characters walking on the scene in Sijiu City are concerned, many people still know those who have benefited. Even if someone really wants to play around with the number of bells in Sijiu City. That can't support such a big scene, and you can't touch so many helpers, right? ”

Shen groaned and nodded, but Xiang Youbao stretched out his hand and pointed to the rat cage at the feet of Fang Cai Qian Laosan: "Since it's to exchange money for things." Then Master Qian, why are you bothering to change this thing? ”

Looking down at the rat cage resting under his feet, Qian Laosan reached out and slapped his thigh with a crisp sound: "Hey, this is not the number of ways that the cat master tossed?" He said that he wanted to take care of the friends who were waiting for the things, so he made a rule - the characters who came to the door to ask for this thing did not have to spend any more money, but everyone had to carry a cage of wild mice in their hands, and it had to be the wild mice in the fields outside the city! This man, you should think about it. How many characters in these 49 cities can really go to the edge of the city and touch the wild mice? After coming and going, coupled with the fact that the person in charge of the matter was secretly holding us, I could see Tian'er waiting outside the door of the cat's house, and there were only seven or eight people in total! ”

Looking up and down at Qian Laosan, who was wearing a half-worn coat, Xiang Youbao laughed suddenly: "Master Qian." It's not a matter of time or two to see you touching things from the cat's master, but you don't look like you've made a fortune? Could it be that the bun has meat and is not on the pleats?! ”

Shaking his head, Qian Laosan smiled bitterly and picked up the wine jug in front of him, raised his neck and drank the pot of bad wine, and then gasped and shouted: "I have to say that my own luck is narrow!" People can touch all the things that are touched by the cat master, let alone bring back one or two things that can enter the pawnshop, and they can touch back more than a dozen oceans at the worst. But as far as I can touch the things in my hands, I will bring back a few oceans in the sky and it will be over! I said, this master, looking at you like this, it really doesn't look like the master of the cat who is going to touch this thing!? I'm going to ask one more thing here."

didn't wait for Qian Laosan to finish speaking, Xiang Youbao had already interrupted Qian Laosan's words: "Master Qian, when did you last touch something from Mao'er's master?" ”

Blinking a pair of red eyes that were caused by bad wine, Qian Laosan was stunned for a while, and then he replied to the prime minister: "It happened two days ago!" When I first got the thing in my hand, I saw that it was still a living thing, but when I walked to the entrance of the street and lifted the black cloth covering the rat cage, I saw that the thing was already facing the sky! I said, this master, you said that I was unlucky, didn't you? Real money and energy in exchange for things, this has not seen a little movement. In the blink of an eye"

didn't care about Qian Laosan's complaining words at all, but Xiang Youbao leaned slightly closer to Qian Laosan, and asked Qian Laosan, who was muttering and complaining, "What about the dead thing?" Where did you throw it? ”

Staring at a pair of red eyes, Qian Laosan was very surprised and whispered: "How can there be a quasi?!" Look, that thing is dead, I'm just going to throw it away."

"Master Qian, think about it carefully. Where did you throw it? ”

"You let me think about it, just around here, I remember! I was angry and threw the dead thing on the roof of the street with the cage in my hand. Walking forward a hundred and ten steps, the house with the pawnshop sign is there! ”

Standing up suddenly, Xiang Youbao took out a few pieces of ocean from his arms and stuffed them into Qian Laosan's hand, stared at Qian Laosan's eyes and whispered: "Master Qian, you are also the master of a face-to-face game, and there are some rules in the scene, should I not need to tell you again?" We haven't seen each other tonight! ”

Tightly grasped the few pieces of ocean that Xiang Youbao stuffed into his hands. Qian Laosan glanced at the bamboo chopsticks nailed to the rat cage at his feet with a little humility, and nodded to Xiang Youbao in response: "It's all right!" None of us have ever seen anyone, and we will see each other on the scene in Sijiu City in the future, and that is also asking for introduction, and talking about friendship from the beginning! ”

With a slight nod, Xiang Youbao turned his head and walked out of the second meat shop, and walked quickly to a shadow at the mouth of the alley to stand still. But after a while, Hu Qianli also walked out of the second meat shop with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the side of Xiang Youbao.

There is no need to say anything more. Hu Qianli, who had already practiced the 'Di Ting' kung fu, groaned slightly, and slowly said to Xiang Youbao, who was waiting for him to speak: "My mind is still awake. I know the number of ways to touch the opponent! Taking advantage of the fact that it is a meal at this time, there are few people on the street, hurry up and get the rat cage that Qian Ye threw away, let's not see the cat master today, but first we have to find out what kind of way these things that the cat master secretly scattered out of these things that know how to take things and hold beads? ! ”

Nodding his head obediently, he didn't move his steps. Instead, he whispered to Hu Qianli, who was standing in the shadow of the street corner with his hands behind his back, "Uncle Hu, what do you mean by saying that these things that have not been trained to do all the work are made by this cat master?" ”

Closing his eyes slightly, Hu Qianli was not in a hurry to respond to Xiang Youbao's question, but took a deep breath of dry and cold air. Only then did he slowly speak: "Seventy years ago, there was such a character in Sijiu City who served rats, and it is hard to say how the work on the side is, just when it comes to taking things and holding beads, I am afraid that no one in our fire gate is his opponent!" Later, there is a leopard, you should have heard the drama of "Five Rats in Tokyo" in "The Case of Bao Gong"? ”

Nodding his head without hesitation, Xiang Youbao replied in a low voice: "I've heard this drama!" Uncle Shi, are you saying that this cat master is going to make a big deal in Sijiu City? ”

With a cold snort, Hu Qianli opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at the Mao'er master's house who closed the door again: "That character back then was almost such a way to sprinkle money everywhere, so that many people in Sijiu City have those things that know how to take things and hold beads." It also took advantage of the fact that there were people all over the city who used rat toys to trick and take things and hold beads to make a fortune, this character made a whole job in his hands, and took the rare antiques hidden in the seven wealthy families overnight, and I heard that even the Forbidden City patronized once! ”

After just thinking about it for a while, Xiang Youbao's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed: "Then that character left Sijiu City, but asked those people who didn't practice all the work to top the tank for him?" ”

"It's not just those masters who have not trained the whole job in their hands, even the seniors in the main gate of our fire have all been eaten and hung up, and they have saved most of the money in the door to save those seniors who were arrested and put in prison! Pity one of my master's legs, and he was wasted in that prison! Looking at the movement and formation of the cat in front of him, it is exactly the same as what happened in my master's life! I can't say that this cat master is the heir of that character back then! (To be continued......)

PS: Note 1: (String Bell Club is a popular scam in the north back then, hiring some childcare first, luring people to believe that a certain item has a high value-added space with a higher benefit, and then inducing others to buy an item at a high price and then make a profit.)

Because this kind of scam can often induce many people to be fooled at one time, hanging on a line of interests like a string of bells and cannot get rid of it, and even invisibly become an accomplice to the abuse and the tiger, so it is named String Bell.

Thinking back to the harm of pyramid schemes now, I'm afraid that this is the number of bells for a while? ）
