Chapter 19: The Embarrassed Young Man
Before it got dark, Li Mo didn't plan to go to White Dragon Pond.
The three men who stayed behind last time seemed to notice something wrong with him and shot him, albeit only with a tranquilizer gun.
I think that someone would have paid attention to his presence at that time, and this time he might have been wary of crows.
Also, yesterday's battle, most likely caused by his flock of crows!
Calculating the time, it took him eighteen days to cross. The other party arrived at Bailong Village on the third day after he crossed over, and he should have arrived sixteen days ago. Then it took thirteen or fourteen days to build the road, even if it was thirteen days...... That is, the road that was repaired three days ago.
Then they catch the big wild boar out!
Yesterday, they were fighting with certain creatures......
It's about the right time, but do you need to use cannonballs to deal with a flock of crows?
It felt a little strange, but Li Mo couldn't think of anything else in Bailong Mountain that could allow the troops to use artillery to bombard. Unable to think of it, Li Mo simply went to the crow's nest to see the situation. He remembered that when he left, he had instructed the crows not to approach the White Dragon Pond, and he didn't know if the crows had listened to them.
Worried, Li Mo flew towards his crow colony's roost.
The crows were still there, and when they saw Li Mo coming, they all flew up to greet them.
Although it has only been a few days, Li Mo's status as the "king" has obviously been established among this group of crows, and it is even extremely majestic.
What's even worse is that in the crow's nest on this cliff...... There was even one more!
A young man in his twenties, looking a little embarrassed.
Did this man fall from a cliff above? My little brother didn't even eat this guy?
He knew very well how much this huge group of crows could eat, and the snakes in the mountains were one by one, and the hares tore them apart with their claws, and swallowed them in just three or five bites. As for bugs...... I really didn't find food to go to the bugs, after all, that thing was too small to be hungry at all!
Immediately, Li Mo remembered that when he left, he asked this group of little brothers not to provoke people and not to eat people. When this rule was first established, Li Mo didn't think that these crow brothers would abide by it. But now it seems that they understand well and strictly follow his rules!
"Who are you?"
Li Mo landed in the lair, looked at the young man and spoke.
"Can you speak?" The young man's eyes widened for a moment.
Li Mo said: "Now I'm asking you!" Or rather, I'll kill you! ”
With that, he shook his wings, and his body instantly enlarged, directly to the limit, with a body length of more than ten meters, like a giant beast looking down on the young man in front of him.
"I, my name is Bai Qiming, from Baijia Village." The young man was stunned, his legs trembled uncontrollably, like a sifting chaff, he couldn't stand at all, and knelt directly in front of Li Mo.
He originally thought that those crows with a body length of two or three meters were big enough, but he stayed in this nest for two days and didn't escape...... He even met a bigger crow, and he could get bigger and smaller, and he could talk.
Baijia Village?
Li Mo was stunned, although he had never been to Baijia Village, he had also heard of this village. There are a total of three middle schools in Xunlong Town, and Li Mo was originally in the junior high school of Xunlong Town Middle School, and there were four or five classmates in the class who were from Baijia Village. If you want to calculate the distance, this side of Baijia Village is indeed closer, about four or five kilometers to this side. And from here to Bailong Village, there is at least a dozen kilometers away.
As for this Bai Qiming...... It looks like he should be twenty-six or seventeen years old, not the same year as him, and I don't know him at all.
"Why are you here?" Li Mo asked again.
Bai Qiming hurriedly replied: "I came to the mountains to collect medicine, I thought, I want to make some money." ”
"Don't you know that there are mutated beasts in many mountains and forests now? How dare you go so far? Li Mo asked.
"I, I, I want to make more money. My lord, I really didn't mean to come here. Bai Qiming explained with a pale face. He didn't know what to call Li Mo, but he remembered what ordinary people called monsters in Journey to the West......
King?
Li Mo paused for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to call him that. Looking at the sky, it is already evening, and the sky has just darkened, so it is not suitable to go to Bailongtan at this time. Then, it's time to talk to this kid.
On the other side, there was a little crow brother who came to give it to them with food in his mouth.
After swallowing a mouthful of raw meat and not feeling much of the taste, Li Mo asked again: "If you can risk your life to come in and collect medicine, don't you need money very much?" ”
"I, I really need money......" Bai Qiming saw that Li Mo was quite gentle, and he was a little bolder. But when he saw Li Mo devouring raw meat, he lowered his head in fear, not daring to take a closer look.
"Why?" Li Mo asked.
Bai Qiming said: "I talked about a girlfriend for a year and am ready to get married...... She chose to break up with me! ”
"Ran away? What does it have to do with the fact that you need money? Li Mo paused.
"Over the years, I have met a lot of women, introduced by friends and relatives, and this has been talked about for a long time. However, just because I can't afford to pay a bride price of 300,000 yuan......." Bai Qiming said this, as if the fear in his heart had dissipated, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"300,000 bride price?" Li Mo was stunned in his heart, this Bai Qiming actually encountered this kind of thing?
Bai Qiming said: "100,000 yuan to buy a car, 200,000 yuan to pay a down payment for a house...... Her family asked me to buy a house in the city to get married, and the wedding money was calculated separately. I've worked hard, hard to make money, but they never understand me and don't be considerate of me. Ha, haha...... I always thought that finding a girl as gentle as she was the happiest thing for me, and I also felt that we would be happy in the future. But later I found out that gentle people are not necessarily considerate. Chatting with her, she thought I was lazy at work and talked about making money, but I didn't. I didn't get to know her, she felt that I didn't care about her, that I didn't want to marry her. it, what the hell did Lao Tzu do wrong? What did you do wrong? ”
Crying and venting, Bai Qiming cried and said: "Later, I figured it out, I figured it all out." It's not that I'm not trying hard enough, and it's not that she doesn't know I'm trying. But...... It's that I don't have any money! With money, none of these problems are a problem, there will be no problems! ”
"So, you went to the mountains to collect medicine?" Li Mo said.
"I heard that there is a treasure in Bailong Mountain that can be sold for a high price. I'm scared of death, but I'm even more afraid of not having money now. Woowoo...... I don't even know what I'm doing wrong. Yes, my family has no money, but I am willing to give her the best, I am willing to do anything for her, but what do I get? If you don't have a house in the city now and a car at home, can't you have it in the future? Bai Qiming cried with tears.
"Hit ...... by reality"
Li Mo shook his head.
Although he was only twenty-three or fourteen when he died in his last life, he had a deep understanding of reality.
When I was a child, my family was poor. Mom and Dad asked a neighbor to borrow money, but if they couldn't borrow it, they would be looked down upon. Later, when they were older and went to junior high school, some children in the town looked down on them, the children of the past in the village.
When he was in high school, other people's pocket money was two or three hundred a week, and even more than a thousand, but his pocket money was only one hundred a month, and he didn't dare to spend money indiscriminately. At that time, he also heard people call him a hillbilly behind his back, a poor ghost or something.
When I go to college, others have two or three thousand pocket money a month, and some have five or six thousand. He...... Four hundred a month, sometimes it's not enough, my father will give him two hundred. He started doing odd jobs, handing out flyers and all that to make money.
Later, when he entered the society, he worked hard, worked hard to make money, and was tired to die or live, for what?
Not for love, for dignity!
Li Mo was woken up by low self-esteem...... And the one in front of him was woken up by marriage.
"I can't help it, I really can't help it...... I want to live a peaceful life, earn some money, and have fun with my family. But now I know that it is impossible to be happy without money. Bai Qiming knelt in this crow's nest and said this as if he was talking to himself, his eyes were a little distracted.
Li Mo said: "I can give you strength, with power, you can want power or money!" As long as your power is strong enough, the whole world is yours! ”
Hearing this, Bai Qiming raised his head suddenly.
