Chapter 16: Deception is better than silence
In the face of Lian Yuntian's doubts, Li Fengwu said gently: "People always like to guess where they are afraid, and before the truth surfaces, it is those Arabian Nights that occupy people's minds. ”
Lian Yuntian smiled bitterly: "You gave it to us, you seem to be telling the big guy that a dead man is performing on stage." ”
"I'll find out as soon as I can."
"Have you finished reading it? If you're done, you can go first, I'm going to put my son in the coffin. It's a pity that he died unexpectedly, according to the rules of his ancestors, he was not even allowed to be buried in a beautiful way. ”
Li Fengwu nodded slightly, observed the corpse again, and finally took Zhang Xiaolei out of the house.
Zhang Xiaolei has been silently reciting what Li Fengwu asked him to remember, for fear that he would forget.
Li Fengwu saw that he was still chattering, so he smiled and said, "Don't read it, I have already written it down before." ”
He took out a piece of coarse cloth with the words he had just written, but he didn't know when or how he wrote it.
Zhang Xiaolei was surprised: "Sir, since you want to write it down yourself, why do you want me to memorize it?" ”
"I just want to see if you take things seriously."
"Mr. obviously saw me stupid, so he deliberately teased me!"
"Hmm, I did deliberately play tricks on you......" Li Fengwu chuckled, "And then?" Unconvinced little cripple, do you want to do it? ”
Zhang Xiaolei said very stubbornly: "Sir, don't look down on me, if I wait for my legs to get better, Mr. may not be my opponent!" To tell you the truth, I also learned one or two tricks from the master in the class, such as sweeping the hall legs. ”
Li Fengwu said with interest: "Okay, then I'll wait." ”
The two of them walked as they talked, but instead of heading towards the Yako, they headed towards the nearby Iwamura.
When he came to Iwamura, Li Fengwu found a pharmacy and prepared to take Zhang Xiaolei in to buy some medicine.
He reached out and touched his bag, then suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Xiaolei didn't dare to interrupt Li Fengwu's thinking, so he waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Li Fengwu took a long breath and said to Zhang Xiaolei: "Don't you always want to see me deceiving people? Why don't you teach how to buy medicine without money? ”
Zhang Xiaolei's heart was suddenly full of curiosity, and he nodded again and again.
"If you want to see, then remember not to speak. When I ask you something, you just have to say: Master, I hear you. ”
"Okay."
Li Fengwu walked into the pharmacy and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Are there any herbs for treating wounds?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "There are installed." ”
"Go get a few packs."
The shopkeeper went to get the medicine, Li Fengwu took the medicine and left, and the shopkeeper grabbed him: "You haven't given the money yet." ”
Li Fengwu stopped and said in surprise: "I still have to give money?" ”
"Why don't you give ......," said the shopkeeper, "I'll give you medicine, and you give me money, isn't it a matter of course?" ”
Li Fengwu smiled contemptuously, and said to Zhang Xiaolei beside him: "Did you hear that, he actually asked me to give money?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said respectfully: "Young master, I heard it." ”
"Young Master?" The shopkeeper said curiously, "Which young master are you, the pie is so big." ”
Li Fengwu patted the herbs in his hand and said, "Which one do you say?" ”
"No one in the village can be called a young master, but there are a few in Yuncheng next to it, look at your dress, it really doesn't look like an ordinary person......"
The shopkeeper was muttering in a low voice, but Li Fengwu suddenly said to Zhang Xiaolei: "Let's not come here again in the future, remember to tell someone when I go back, just say that I came to buy trauma medicine in person, and I even have to give money, do you hear?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said respectfully: "Young master, I heard it." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked in a hurry, "Is it the young master of the Shao family?" ”
Li Fengwu said indifferently: "What do you think? ”
"That's really a misunderstanding...... shopkeeper hurriedly said, "The Shao family bleeds a lot on weekdays, and the trauma medicine is paid at the end of the month." I've never seen the young master, and I'm really blind. Young master, you go back first, I will write down this account myself, and calculate it with the Shao family at the end of the month. ”
Li Fengwu sighed, only to see the shopkeeper take out his notebook and ask: "The Shao family has two young masters in the lineage, are you Shao Fei or Shao Xinwu?" ”
"I'm not Shao Fei......" Li Fengwu said indifferently, "I'll remember it clearly in the future." ”
The shopkeeper said yes, and wrote in the notebook: "Shao Xinwu, five packs of trauma medicine." ”
But he saw Li Fengwu swaggering out of the pharmacy, and when he came out, Zhang Xiaolei was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. is so powerful, how do you know that the Shao family has a partnership with this pharmacy?" ”
Li Fengwu said: "Around Cloud City, they all rely on the Shao family's darts. This is out of the house, it is inevitable to be injured and bleed, the Shao family has the largest business, and it is dart several times a month. For the sake of safety, people who come out to carry darts will not bring too much belongings, so they will naturally negotiate with the surrounding pharmacies and settle the settlement on January 1. ”
Zhang Xiaolei sighed: "Mr. is really good at deceiving people. ”
"Liar?" Li Fengwu asked, "Which sentence did I lie?" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaolei thought carefully.
Li Fengwu said a few words.
"I still have to give money?"
"In the future, if we don't come, we will go back and tell people that I will have to pay for the medicine in person."
"What do you think?"
"I'm not Shao Fei, I remember clearly."
I really didn't tell a lie.
Zhang Xiaolei analyzed: "Mr. didn't tell a lie, the words were all said by the shopkeeper himself, and he lied to himself." The moment he spoke, he had already fallen into his own trap and dug a pit for himself. ”
Li Fengwu said with a smile: "It's quite smart, you remember clearly, when you suspect that others are liars, just be suspicious, don't take the initiative to say your own intersection, life experience, business, and thoughts." As long as you don't open your mouth, he doesn't know about you. As soon as you open your mouth, he will understand you. When the time comes, he knows himself and the other, and you really lose. ”
"That's what the gentleman said."
"Let's go to your son now, and think for yourself why I succeeded along the way."
"Okay."
Zhang Xiaolei tilted his head and limped to Li Fengwu's side, thinking about the situation just now.
I walked all the way, and I thought about it all the way.
When he arrived at the door of the house, Li Fengwu asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said: "Almost." ”
"Tell me about it."
"First, when Mr. learned about the Shao family's darts, he intersected with various surrounding pharmacies, which is to collect information and not fight uncertain battles."
"Second, Mr. is dressed decently, and I call Mr. Young Master next to me, which creates an image."
"Third, although the gentleman is talking, he doesn't seem to speak, and he lets the pharmacy owner speak, dig, and jump by himself. That way, the gentleman doesn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. You said that you want to know yourself and your opponent, and the one who knows you best is the pharmacy shopkeeper himself. ”
Li Fengwu smiled.
He stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xiaolei's head: "Next time I'm in a good mood, I'll teach you two hands." ”
