Chapter 189: The Shrewd Big Lazy Cow
The sound of cups clattering against the table finally woke up the big lazy cow, and he was smart and slowly opened his eyes in front of me.
"Hey...... I'm really embarrassed, I'm just lazy, and then my favorite thing in this life is to sleep and eat. ”
He reached out and touched the back of his head and explained slowly.
Hearing this, I sat on the spot and sneered, of course I knew that he was very lazy, after all, we hadn't spoken a few words, and he was already asleep and couldn't open his eyes.
The big lazy cow may have been worried that he would fall asleep again, so he got up and walked around the room, and finally continued to do his position: "When I was sleeping just now, I accidentally thought about an incident that happened before. There is a very secret legend in our village that we have a three-legged toad here. ”
"This story was told when we were in our village. I heard that after catching him, I raised him in his backyard and was able to give birth to golden beads. ”
After saying this, I couldn't help but laugh.
This kind of legend, which has no basis, can only be believed by this relatively simple group of people in the village.
"The legend of gold is nothing more than a rumor from everyone. However, we do have this three-legged toad in our village, but it is very difficult to catch. ”
The big lazy cow shook his head, reached out and picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water, then stood up and walked a few steps.
"He only has three legs, how can it be difficult to catch?"
"Because he doesn't usually appear in front of us, and where he appears, we rarely go by."
When I heard that, I was a little interested.
I had seen a three-legged toad in a book when I was reading before, but the explanation in the book was that the three-legged toad was just a genetic mutation, which was very difficult to see.
But I heard him say that, as if there were a lot of such toads in their village.
Besides, I really have so many three-legged toads, why don't the people in their village want to catch them?
Even if the golden bead is nothing more than a legend, catching a three-legged toad is enough for them to go out and blow for a long time.
But before I could continue to ask, the big lazy cow continued the topic and said, "These three-legged toads are all in a temple on a hillside in the east, but some strange things have happened in that temple before, so the big guy doesn't want to go there." ”
"You should know that in our county, it is a battleground for soldiers in history. So in the event of a war, our side will be a sea of corpses. There are more innocent people who have died, so they have formed a resentment over time. A temple was built on top of their corpses. ”
Hearing this, I stopped nibbling on steamed buns.
Maybe it's because I've been experiencing so many strange things lately, so I'm very interested in this kind of story.
"It's just that that temple is very evil, I heard that there are many big girls and little daughters-in-law who will die in it as long as they go to worship, if you guess correctly, my aunt and grandmother are also inside. It's just not known if she was killed headlong or hanged herself. ”
Xie Daocong knocked the ground with his cane: "So there are a lot of three-legged toads in that temple?" ”
The big lazy cow nodded: "There is a man in our village who got drunk one day and accidentally walked into that temple. Then he caught a three-legged toad, and then he got rich and moved away from our whole village. According to him, there are a lot of three-legged toads in that temple, as long as you catch one casually, then you will be rich for the rest of your life. ”
I swallowed the rest of the steamed buns in my hand and glanced at Xie Daocong sitting next to me.
It sounds like a fascinating story, but I'm just going to hear it.
Xie Daocong didn't know how, but he came to the spirit of this story.
"When you tell me about this, you must not simply tell us a story, it's that simple."
The big lazy cow smiled, that is called a suave, handsome and chic.
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from the old man, I think the two of you are also Mr. Yin and Yang who can do some skills, so I thought if you could go in and help me catch a three-legged toad." The big lazy cow paused when he said this, and only after taking a deep breath did he slowly speak, "This time I came back to mourn, but when my relatives were lost, I always couldn't close my eyes." Because time is too embarrassing, I can only bury it in a hurry, but some people say that such a cause of death will be detrimental to future generations. ”
Xie Daocong sighed: "I really don't know what you are doing, after a person dies, you must close his eyes, otherwise it is very likely to endanger the younger generations, or even harm the villagers." ”
The big lazy cow nodded: "I know that's the truth, but it's too late when I came back, and I didn't have time to react at all." However, I've heard that a three-legged toad can make a dead man blind, so I'd like you to help me go inside and catch a toad. ”
The big lazy cow babbled around in a circle, and finally said his purpose.
I didn't react, but turned my head to look at Xie Daocong, who was sitting on the side.
This guy obviously came prepared today, first sending out a bait to get us interested in this matter, and then making his own request step by step.
He has such a brilliant mind that if he tried a little harder, he wouldn't be the biggest slacker in the whole village.
Xie Daocong was silent for a moment and spoke: "If it was just a simple catch of toads, I guess you wouldn't come to us." Tell me what's in there, and we're thinking about whether or not we want to help you. ”
The big lazy cow smashed his mouth, and it took a long time before he spoke: "The last time that man came out, he told us a word, there were ghosts in there, and he almost threw his life into it. ”
Hearing this, I slammed the table.
This kid is literally playing a trick on us.
But before I could say no, the big lazy cow smiled: "But please rest assured, as long as you give me what I want, I will give you what he wants." ”
He can accentuate his tone when he says two words.
But I didn't quite believe him.
After all, when we first met, I made it very clear that I was here for something, maybe he took advantage of this weakness of mine and wanted to dig a hole for me to jump into.
And there must be a lot of bad luck in that temple, otherwise he would never come over to talk to us about the conditions, but would walk in by himself.
Just when I wanted to refuse, Xie Daocong grabbed ahead of me and spoke: "I have lived to this age and thought I had seen everything in this world, but I really haven't seen this three-legged toad." ”
"If there really is such a thing, I will definitely catch it a few times and give it to you. But I also want you to keep your word. ”
The big lazy cow nodded: "You can rest assured about this matter, this is a bunch of stinky problems of my person, but this matter of keeping promises will definitely be observed, after all, this is also related to my entire family." ”
He didn't have any politeness after saying this, and turned around with a plastic bag to leave.
I didn't think I looked at Xie Daocong: "What he knows best is to dig a pit for us to jump, and I don't think he necessarily has the file we are looking for." ”
The big lazy cow usually looks lazy and lazy, but I didn't expect the calculating person to be unambiguous.
Xie Daocong took off his sunglasses, wiped the things on them with the hem of his clothes, and said slowly: "Even if he really lied to us, then we have to try." ”
"And he hasn't believed us yet, so maybe this is a real opportunity to test each other. Don't you want to get that portfolio? ”
Of course I wanted to get the file bag, after all, it was about my life and Team Chen's, but this feeling of being calculated really made me very uncomfortable.
Ever since the 4 bus incident, I've become more and more disgusted with other people's calculations.
Xie Daocong rarely opened his mouth to comfort me, and finally decided to go find the person who came out of the temple together.
We casually asked someone in the village and one of them showed us the way.
"It turns out that you are looking for Wang Mazi, that kid has moved out of the village since he made a fortune, but fortunately, he just came back from outside today, and you should be able to meet him now."
I pulled out a pack of cigarettes and gave them to the villagers, thinking that I must find the dealer and buy a few more fake jade streams when I go back.
