Chapter 157: The Human Heart Is Unpredictable
The kernel of the fruit on the ground, everyone has stolen it!!
Da Fei was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled awkwardly, jumped off the wall and wanted to shake hands with the guy, but the guy didn't pay attention to him at all, but pushed him and said coldly:
"You don't talk to me about this, you steal my family's fruit to eat, do you still want to be close?"
Da Fei withdrew his hand and crushed the kernel on the ground with his foot.
"Little brother, my brothers were really hungry last night, so I picked a few fruits from you, don't be surprised, like this, count how many of them, and we will pay you!" After speaking, Da Fei squeezed a glance at me.
There were a few of us in a group, and we didn't have any money with us except for Liu Fatzi. Da Fei's meaning is obvious, he should want to find out their news through this little brother.
I understood Da Fei's intentions, and I also jumped off the broken wall and walked to the little brother to help:
"Little brother, I'm really embarrassed, it was dark when we arrived here last night, so I picked a few fruits, apologized to you, and made double compensation!"
The young man was still indignant, and he really lowered his head and counted the kernels on the ground.
A few minutes later, the guy thrust the dung fork into the ground hard, stretched out his hand and said:
"You have picked eleven fruits, and many branches of the orchard have been broken, give two hundred."
I didn't expect this guy to be so upright and really did what we said, Da Fei immediately smiled when he heard it, and took two steps forward to him, saying:
"Give it, little brother, two hundred is two hundred, I will give it to you! But first I have to find my fat dude! ”
When the young man heard this, he was immediately reluctant, and raised his dung fork to Da Fei and scolded:
"What fat guy, you just don't want to give money?"
"No, this money must be given, little brother, think about it, if we have money in our pockets now, how can we steal your fruit in this waste pigsty, I am really separated from my friends!"
Hearing me say this, the young man looked at the two of us carefully, put away the dung fork again, craned his neck and asked:
"Where did you come from, did you come from another village to pan for gold?"
Seeing that the guy had no impression of the two of us at all, Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said along the lines:
"Little brother, to tell you the truth, we really came to your village to explore the wind and pan for gold, you must not tell anyone, otherwise you will not be able to lose this money."
The young man flew white and said disdainfully:
"You people are really interesting, you dream of getting rich every day, why can't you do something serious?"
Listening to the guy's words, Da Fei and I looked at each other in surprise.
"Little brother, why is gold panning not a serious matter, don't all of your villages point to this river to make a fortune?"
The guy waved his hand and said:
"Our family doesn't follow this path to get rich, and I don't believe that!"
"You don't believe me?" Da Fei took advantage of the situation and asked.
"Don't believe it! If there is gold in the Liujin River, who still lives here, the tickets are still expensive, and the fruits are still diligently planted. ”
"Tickets?"
How can there be a ticket?
Our dart is lost, and now we have just entered the village and are separated from Hu Badao, there are too many things to do, although I feel that this gold rush river is really not simple, but I don't have the leisure to pay too much attention, seeing that the guy is open-mouthed, I continued to ask:
"Little brother, since you don't believe it, then we are not enemies, we will give you fruit money, so that we can continue to find a way to pan for gold, but our people scattered as soon as they entered the village...."
Before I finished speaking, the guy interrupted helplessly:
"Is there a man and a woman in that gang of yours, and an old man?"
He actually knew the news of Hu Badao Mu Qin!!
I hurriedly said excitedly:
"Yes, little brother, do you know where they are?"
The corners of the guy's mouth twitched.
"I heard from my dad that a group of men and women have been arrested!"
"Where's the catch?"
Seeing that Da Fei was so excited, the young man glanced at him and said:
"Cellar!"
"Which cellar knows?"
The guy took a step back and raised the dung fork in his hand again, and a smell of wafted over.
"What's the matter? You want to go and lead people out and run together, but I haven't lost my money yet? ”
Seeing that he was a little resistant, I quickly played the round with a brain and said:
"Little brother, I won't hide it from you, we have already been to the Gold Rush River, and we haven't fished out the bullshit, but now the money on us is on another group of people, and we can't go, so there's really no way!"
The young man laughed contemptuously when he heard this.
"I said, you people, isn't it good to work hard to make money? Always thinking of opportunism to come to our village to be a thief, I have seen a lot of you like this, and I have caused a commotion without anything, I regret it? ”
"Regret it, regret it, little brother, as long as you can help us find that group of friends, we will definitely pay you the two hundred yuan and never come back!"
Although this guy is very realistic, he is not completely brainless, after listening to Da Fei's words, he scratched his head and said slowly:
"Our village does not tolerate outsiders, if you let the village chief know, you two will have to be arrested and go to the cellar, so let's do it, you live in my house first, and when I find your gang, I will ask for the money back and then let you go!"
The little brother in front of him is really honest, compared to the thief who hired us to pan for gold, I don't know how many times more reliable, I can not only live in a safe place with him, but also let him help find someone, it is really a double win, I did not hesitate with Da Fei, and agreed in unison.
Then, the guy let us walk in front, and he followed behind with a fork, like escorting prisoners, and escorted Da Fei and us back to the house.
The house was impossible for us to live in, and at last he went around and arranged us in his cowshed, a stinking place that was much more comfortable than in a cold cellar, though the conditions were terrible.
According to the young man's meaning, in the future, our food, drink and accommodation will be here, until he found out the news of Hu Badao and his party, and did not let us go after compensating him for the fruit, and correspondingly, the compensation rose from the initial 200 yuan to 500 yuan!
It is not easy for a fruit farmer, especially in a small garden like theirs, where all work has to be done by himself, as long as he can help us through this catastrophe, not to mention 500, even 5,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan.
Afraid that we would run around, the guy tied a big black wolf dog at the door of the cowshed to guard the door, and left with peace of mind after everything was ready.
After Dafei and I entered the village, we were first locked in the ice cellar, and then transferred from the ice cellar to the waste pigsty, and then from the pigsty to the cowshed, which was really sad!
The day went by, it got dark, and the boy never came back.
Lying in the straw pile in the cowshed, Da Fei held a straw in his mouth, and looked leisurely with Erlang's legs crossed.
"I don't know if the thief didn't see us today, how would he be in a hurry?"
Da Fei has always been obsessed with that river of gold, and I know that he is still thinking about gold.
"That man is very thief, even if we help him dig for gold for another day, we won't allow him to cross the river and tear down the bridge, now this is still a good arrangement!"
Da Fei shook his stinky shoes and said:
"Brother, this fruit farmer boy looks very real, I don't know what An's thoughts are, after all, this village is very strange, don't you think?"
Da Fei's words also make sense, you can't have the heart of harming others, you can't have the heart of guarding against people, who can trust it except for your own people right now?
I weighed for a moment, nodded and said:
"Yes, we can't fully trust him, after all, Uncle Hu, Liu Fatzi, Hunting Seven Wolves, and Mu Qin's lives are still waiting for us to save them!"
Da Fei spit out the grass roots, leaned over and whispered in my ear:
"In this way, you are smarter than me, you run away and see what this kid is busy with, whether it is reliable or not!"
I looked around at the enclosed cowshed and said with a wry smile:
"How do you get out? Nail down all sides, a big wolf dog at the door! ”
Da Fei smiled weirdly and pointed to the roof of the shed.
I looked up in the direction of his finger and saw that the cowshed was not very high, the beams above it could stand people, and there was a big hole in the roof of the shed, which was covered with only a piece of broken silk cloth to cover it from the rain!
I was overjoyed, and I moved as soon as I said so, and Da Fei half-squatted down and let me step on his shoulder, lifted me up and climbed to the beam, tore off the silk cloth on the roof of the shed, and got out of the hole.
I jumped down from behind the cowshed, carefully went around to the back window of the kitchen, and looked up to see the young man scooping water into the iron pot for cooking.
I was just about to turn to the main room to have a look, when I suddenly heard a shout outside the courtyard.
In the middle of the night, a big swarthy man with a towel on his head came from outside, my heart jumped, and I quickly retracted my head, this person I know, it is the thief who wants to blackmail us to help him pan for gold, why is he here?
I held my breath and crouched under the window to listen carefully to their conversation.
"Oh, big black brother, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you for something, Xiao Tang, have you seen two people from other villages, in their twenties, one of whom is still perming his hair, hiding in a waste pigsty not far from your orchard!"
Listening to the tone of the thief man, he seemed to be very angry about the two of us running away, this honest little brother called Xiao Tang slapped his face and smiled when he heard this:
"See, see, it's in my cowshed, go, I'll lead you over!"
Hearing this, I was completely lost, I never thought that just escaped from the devil's cave and fell into the abyss, this honest guy turned out to be a group of thieves?
