Chapter 43: She's Going to Be Nice to the Stupid Dog (3)
The cold dew was extremely heavy at night.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
The badger beast still stood stupidly and looked at the old man's corpse motionless, as if he was still hesitating what to do with the old man's corpse.
"Big brother, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take care of this and go to sleep, and you have to start work early tomorrow morning." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind him, and the badger beast glanced at it, only to find a down-and-out fox boy just reminding him.
The fox boy was very thin, his face was full of hunger, and although he was talking to him, his eyes kept falling on the old man, as if he wanted to see something valuable in the old man.
The badger beast's eyes lit up suddenly, "Hey, little brother, why don't you help me deal with it?" In return, I gave you that box? ”
As he spoke, the badger pointed to the box that had been burned by the fire, and looked like a good discussion.
The fox boy glanced at it, his eyes fell on the broken box and wandered around for a long time, with a look of disgust, "What do I want you to do with the broken box?" I want to eat, do you have anything to eat? ”
The badger beast raised its eyebrows when it heard this, "I used this box to exchange for money, so I can buy food?" ”
This broken box was burned like this, and it must not be used anymore, so it is better to be a favor and a ready-made labor force.
The fox boy paused, his expression seemed a little hesitant, "Your broken box has been burned like this, can you still exchange money?" ”
As soon as the badger beast saw that there was a scene, he hurriedly explained, "Why can't it be changed?" You can split him into pieces and sell them to the timber makers, and maybe even get a couple of bucks! ”
Sure enough, the fox boy who was disgusted with the uselessness of the broken box at the last moment was suddenly a little moved.
I saw that the fox boy looked at the broken wooden box seriously for a long time, then turned around and looked down at the old man on the ground, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded and answered, ".... Okay, too. But you have to take this box with me and bury the body, or I'll come back to you, and what if you don't recognize it?" ”
The badger beast was overjoyed, "Yes, but I declare in advance that I won't touch a finger of that corpse, otherwise we won't have to talk about this business." ”
He is naturally not afraid of dirt when he lives in this slum, but after all, this is a corpse in front of him, and he will definitely get bad luck if he touches it, otherwise he would not have hesitated beside this corpse for so long without making a move.
It wasn't that he didn't want to ask his roommate for help, but once he did, it would mean that the bronze bracelet he had taken off the old man's body would also be half of the others, which made him hesitate more than the matter of "contaminating bad luck".
This fox beast boy has a very raw face, and he didn't seem to have seen him in the crowd before, so he must have come later, so he shouldn't have seen him pull the copper bracelet, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to exchange his broken box. Of course, he can't let go of the white labor, and looking at the thin figure of the young man, even if the two really have a dispute, he will never be the one who loses.
"Deal!" As he spoke, the fox beast boy did not hesitate, and strode towards the old man on the ground, and one of them vigorously carried the stiff old man on his shoulder, as if he didn't mind that he would be unlucky.
The badger beast was naturally happy to see this, and after greeting the people in the house, he followed behind the fox beast boy with the broken wooden box.
The two of them quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley, one after the other.
