Chapter 11: The Gift of Wisdom and Courage (2)
Greed can change a person's nature, or it can turn a person into an idiot. Yan Hui's question, "Do you want to make a fortune", immediately hit Niu Tong's heart, which had lost its humanity and was distorted, and he nodded subconsciously.
"Very good, if you want to make a fortune, be polite to me. Go, get us something to eat and drink. Otherwise, don't want me to show you how to get rich. ”
Niu Tong nodded and turned around and was about to leave, but was kicked aside by Hou Sanyi behind him.
Hou San: "You are a waste, you can also believe the words of a little cub." You're a gentleman, too, get out of the way. ”
Hou San turned around and said to Yan Hui with a cruel smile: "Okay, little cub, you will cheat with Lao Tzu." Wow, anyway, Lao Tzu is idle, you talk about how to make a fortune. If you say you want everything, if you don't say it, you will be sold to those who go around the rivers and lakes to sell fake medicines. I cut off your arms and legs, and put you into a jar to be a man. ”
"Renbiao" is some people who call themselves charlatans, who cut off their tongues and limbs of the kidnapped children they bought and put them in big jars, and use them as monsters to cheat money around. These people are worse than human traffickers. Most of the children who are made into adults do not live long before dying in pain and torture. Its bloody brutality is outrageous. In Dayan, making children adults is a felony second only to rebellion. Once convicted, the nine clans will be punished with a thousand cuts.
Hou San doesn't have the ability or the guts, but this doesn't prevent him from using it to scare these children. But this time it didn't work, Yan Hui squinted at Hou San, and didn't mean to be scared at all.
"Your name is Hou San, right? Less scare. I ask you, what are you holding us for? Yan Hui calmly asked Hou San with his hands behind his back.
"Hehe, naturally it's for money."
"And how much money can you make selling a child?"
"Like you, how can you get a hundred taels of silver when you sell it to a big family."
"So how many kids like me can you sell a year?"
"It's hard to say. Little cub, if you don't talk about Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I'll kill you now. ”
"Don't shout so loudly, as if someone has forced you. You've grown so big. You could have made a fortune all at once, but you had to make that little money. Alas, alas, alas. After Yan Hui said this, he looked at Hou San and shook his head and sighed. That seems to be very worried about Hou San's IQ.
People are curious, and Hou San didn't take Yanhui's words seriously at all. What do you think a three-year-old can have? But after listening to Yan Hui's last sentence, he was not calm, he wanted to know why Yan Hui said that he could earn a fortune all at once, and how he should earn it.
At this time, Niu Tong came over and whispered to Hou San: "Third brother, I have inquired, this child's father made a lot of money just because he listened to this child's words." and he who buys land and wants to build a house. I wondered if this kid really had the skills. ”
Niu Tong's voice was not loud, but he couldn't hide from Yan Hui, who was deaf and clear-sighted. Yan Hui was so happy in his heart, he kept praising Niu Tong for being a good trick, and Yan Hui decided to give Niu Tong a happy death. Hou San listened to Niu Tong's words and became even more suspicious. He didn't say a word, just looked at Yan Hui like that. Yan Hui pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart: "Just because you are also worthy of playing psychological tactics with me, I can be said to be your ancestor in this regard." ”
Yan Hui also looked at Hou San without saying a word, and it didn't take long for Hou San to hold back. He felt that he was not dealing with a three-year-old child, but a veteran who had been in the world for a long time. The temptation of Wanguan's family wealth finally made Hou San take the initiative to speak.
"Then tell me how you can make a fortune all at once?"
Yan Hui's heart was put in his stomach. As soon as Hou San asked, Yan Hui clearly knew that this stupid × had taken the bait. Therefore, people must not be greedy, as long as you are greedy, three-year-old children can also deceive you.
"You want to know? Then let's get food and drink first, and then let's talk about it in another place. ”
Hou Sanyi shook his head, and Niu Tong immediately ran out, and after a while, he brought a bunch of flatbread and pickles to the house. Yan Hui looked at it and said, "Give them food, do you have any wine?" Master likes to drink, let's talk while drinking. ”
Hou San gritted his teeth and agreed, let Niu Tong lock the door, and led Yan Hui to a room by himself. This room looks dilapidated on the outside, but it is clean and well-furnished inside. There were a few kinds of wine and food on the table in the middle of the room, and it seemed that Hou San and Niu Tong were planning to drink two cups just now. Yan Hui swaggered onto the chair. There was no way to be too small, so I had to sit on the armrest.
Yan Hui was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate and drank the wine glass. Cultivating the Divine Dragon Technique, he can now be said to be invincible to all poisons, and drinking alcohol is like drinking cold water. In fact, Yan Hui was eating and drinking while looking at the faces of the two of them. Seeing that it was almost tense, he threw down his chopsticks and waved his little hand, which meant that the two of them came over with their ears.
Yan Hui even said with a gesture, talking about spitting everywhere. Niu Tong and Hou San were drunk when they heard it, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and they couldn't stop nodding. In fact, Yanhui's method is very simple, in today's words, it is "release pigeons".
Yan Hui told Hou San and Niu Tong that they should choose a big family in the city without a son and sell themselves to that family. Then, after finding out where the family's gold and silver were hidden, he told them to steal it. Then the three of them will change places and do the same, so that it won't be long before Hou San and Niu Tong can make a fortune and live the good life they have always dreamed of.
As far as Yan Hui's idea is concerned, if it were put up to now, no one would believe it. What a big pitfall. And one by one, whoever believes will wait to die. Hou San and Niu Tong didn't want to think that the big family was not stupid. If you buy a son and go back, you will definitely ask people to watch the traffickers openly and secretly, and the prevention is that the chickens fly and the eggs are beaten. Even if there is something unguarded, with Yan Hui's cleverness, he ran to the official mansion to report, and these two people can still run. Even if Yan Hui doesn't sue the official, and the joint buyer makes a trap to catch these two greedy thieves alive, I am afraid that the fate of these two will be even worse, and these two will be beaten by the chickens and eggs at that time.
But Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and now Hou San and Niu Tong are already immersed in the fantasy of flowers, wine, and beautiful wives, where can they think so much. Anyway, no matter what the reason, these two people believed Yan Hui's words 100%.
The servants discussed for a while, and Yan Hui was respectfully sent back to the small black house by Niu Tong, and now Niu Tong looked at Yan Hui as if he was bubbling with golden light. Yan Hui asked for a few quilts by the way, it was still relatively cold at night this season, and Yan Hui was worried that the five children would catch a cold. The five children were full and had fallen asleep together, but they were still sobbing in their dreams. Yan Hui covered them with quilts and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it won't be long before you can go home." ”
The next day, Hou San and Niu Tong took Yanhui out. In order to prevent Yan Hui from escaping, Niu Tong put Yan Hui around his neck. When others saw it, they thought that whose guy came out to play with the little shopkeeper. The main street of Fuling County is full of people, and the cries of selling come and go, which is very lively and prosperous. Yan Hui rode on Niu Tong's shoulders, and his legs were clutched to death by Niu Tong, but this did not prevent him from taking what he wanted, two packets of rat medicine. This is still when passing by the stall that sells rat medicine, Yan Hui suddenly wanted to put it into the space. Originally, he wanted to hold a short knife in his hand, but thinking that Hou San and Niu Tong both had short knives pinned to their waists, Yan Hui didn't bother to do that.
As they walked, there was a shouting from the street.
"Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed. Folks, be careful not to touch it. A delicate carriage came slowly, and Hou San and Niu Tong gave way to the side of the road. At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted to reveal a small face carved in pink. This is a little girl who makes people look at it. The jet-black hair is combed into two buns on the top of the head and wrapped with colorful silk threads, making the snow-like skin even more radiant. The little girl's lips are red and her teeth are white, her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and her eyes are like autumn water. is only four or five years old, but he is so bright and beautiful, you can imagine what kind of country and city you should look like when you grow up.
Everyone who saw the little girl on the street was amazed, and several young women kept rubbing their hands with envy, and they couldn't wait to hug and kiss them immediately. The little girl is not very old, but she has a good temperament, and the expression on her face is very calm, and she seems to be used to being admired by onlookers.
The little girl suddenly turned back to the car and said, "Mother, I want to play with that little brother." ”
The little girl's little finger pointed to Yanhui, who was riding on the shoulder of the cowboy and was much taller than others. At this time, Yan Hui was grimacing and sticking out her tongue at the little girl. For from the first time he saw the little girl, he thought she was not smiling. He wanted to see if she could laugh, so he posed to tease her. Unexpectedly, the little girl not only didn't laugh but also directly asked to play with him.
"Boy, don't be a moth, be careful that I break your neck." Hou San whispered to the side to scare Yanhui.
In order not to disturb the little girl, Yan Hui had to wave his hand at the little girl, and left with the cowboy Hou San. The little girl was lying on the window of the car, looking at Yanhui in the distance, and she was still calling.
"Little brother, little brother, where are you going? I want to play with you. ”
"Yuan'er, who are you talking to?" A gentle voice called back the little girl, the curtain was lowered, and the carriage went on.
Hou San: The place they came to is called Wanhualou, and when they hear the name, they know that this is a green building. Hou San led the cowboy to the backyard with a familiar car. A fat, white-faced old bustard walked out and glanced at Hou San with ignorance. But when she saw Yan Hui, her eyes lit up.
"Hey, Hou San, the goods are good this time. It just so happens that Shen Dahu in the city has no children under his knees, and he wants to buy a child, and the price he gives is real, so I think it's him. ”
"Hehe, then trouble Aunt Cui to pull a line, the old rules are open." Hou San said with a smile, his eyes still glancing at the girls who came in and out from time to time.
"Nacheng, go back and wait for the letter." Aunt Cui threw down this sentence and entered the house, Hou San saw that it didn't mean anything, so he led the cowboy back to the broken courtyard. The two of them made a deal, and they thought that there was a bigger income waiting for them, and these two stupid × were very happy. Hou San asked Niu Tong to stir-fry two dishes, ready to celebrate. After the order, Hou San shook his arms and went out to buy wine.
Niu Tong was afraid that Yan Hui would run away, so he asked him to give him a hand. One will let Yanhui wash the vegetables, and the other will let him peel the green onions. Yanhui is very obedient, he will do whatever he wants, he is waiting for an opportunity.
"Hey, the water is boiling, come and see." Yan Hui opened the lid of the pot as he spoke, and Niu Tong turned his face to look at the hot pot. I didn't want a scoop of hot water to splash it on his face. The cowboy screamed like a pig: "Oh mom, burn me." I'll kill you, little bunny, uh-"
The screams stopped abruptly, and a sharp short knife plunged into the cowboy's right rib. The tip of the knife stabbed the liver, and Niu Tong glanced at Yan Hui in horror, and his eyes fell to the ground. Yan Hui kicked the cowboy, and when he saw that he couldn't die anymore, he took out a short knife and rubbed it on the cowboy's clothes and hid it in his waist. Then he stood on the stool and finished frying the dishes, brought them to the house, and waited for Hou San to come back. After a while, the three walked in with two small jars of wine.
"Yo, you're all set, where's Niu Tong?"
"Lying in the kitchen, I'll kill him." Hou San laughed and walked to the kitchen, he didn't believe that Yan Hui could kill Niu Tong.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Hui put two packets of rat medicine into the wine jar and shook it vigorously. The vendor who sells rat medicine said it well: "Our rat medicine is guaranteed to be genuine." Buy it and go home, and your rat will immediately become a dead mouse. If it doesn't work, come to me, and I'll eat it for you. "Listen to what a real buyer and seller.
Kicking and kicking, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Hou San rushed into the house with a short knife. As soon as he saw Yan Hui, who had a normal complexion, he was stunned, and immediately stood by the door and stopped moving forward.
"Did you really kill Niu Tong?" Hou San asked word by word, he was really a little scared now.
"It's like a fake."
"Why?"
"Would you like to split the money with one more person? Kill and kill anyway, you can do it. ”
"Hehe, the kid is ruthless enough. If you want to share the money with me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you too? ”
"No, you still have to rely on me to make thousands of family fortunes, you won't kill me."
Hou San rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, I've always wanted to ask you, what are you trying to do to help me like this?" ”
Yan Hui hugged the wine jar and said, "Do you believe me when I say I want to share the money with you?" Tell you, there are some tricks to make money. As long as you cooperate with me, I will guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future, and you will have endless money. There is no need to do this kind of business all day long. You've figured it out, and whether you agree to give me a happy word. ”
Hou San's eyes rolled three times, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of money. He wasn't a good guy either, and he didn't care if the cowboy died. What he cares about is whether he can live a down-to-earth life as Yan Hui said, and there is endless money to spend.
"You throw the knife at me." Hou San said cautiously.
"How dare you make a fortune? Here you go. With a loud bang, a short knife was thrown at Hou San's feet.
"Hehe, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it's better to be careful in what we do." Hou San put away the short knife and sat down on the chair. Yan Hui knew that Hou San chose to believe in himself, and this would be easy.
Yan Hui pushed a jar of wine to Hou San.
"Come on, let's drink. After this vote, we will change places to buy land and open shops to make a lot of money. ”
Hou San smiled, snatched the wine jar in Yan Hui's hand, and pushed what was in front of him to Yan Hui. He looked at Yan Hui and rolled his eyes, smiled and said, "It's better to be careful, it's better to be careful." ”
Yan Hui didn't answer, and took a big sip from the wine jar. Hou San watched Yan Hui swallow the wine before he smiled and drank it. The two of them drank wine and Hou San kept asking Yanhui what to do in the future and how to make a fortune.
Yan Hui waited until Hou San drank half a jar of wine before saying, "Do you want to get rich, it's a trivial matter." It's easy to get all the wealth in the world. But you don't have that chance. ”
