Chapter 169: Headhunting
Chi Jing pursed her lips, what should I do?
It's impossible to really guard these three people until dawn and accompany them to feed the mosquitoes, right? Although it is true that she is sixteen or seventeen years old, her mental age is far more than that, and the old man can't stay up all night...
yes, I almost forgot that. rummaged through the cloth bag that the jade bottle had specially sewn for her, and found a small green porcelain vase. It's it, green is mint...
Uncork the bottle, and the mint fragrance comes out, which is pleasant. After shaking under each of the three people's noses, the three of them gradually woke up.
"Girl—" The jade bottle spoke first, and there was still a tremor in her voice.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's not like I'm here." Chi Jing coaxed perfunctorily.
Why bother Fang and the Chu family were silent on the side. Actually, I'm still a little dizzy, but I don't know what Miss Chi smelled for herself, and I can't faint if I want to...
"For the sake of your bodies, I'll make a long story short." If she hadn't finished speaking, she really didn't care about them, just went back with the jade bottle.
My body is so empty... Why bother Fang and the Chu family turned pale.
"Young Master Chu." Chi Jing called, and his heart turned a thousand times. The Chu family is different from He Bifang, He Bifang has no place to live, so she can easily abduct him. And the Chu family has a family, although they are poorer, but they are not nowhere to go. How do you convince him? Chi Jing didn't have an idea for a while, so he simply asked directly: "Do you want to go with me?" ”
"With you? Where to go? "The Chu family is a little unclear, is this why they are staying here?
"Well, what I mean when I go with me is that I will follow me in the future... Well, I'm talking about my help. "Follow me, follow me to overturn the emperor, and then the serfs turn over and sing? You can't say that, it's going to scare people away.
"Oh?" When the Chu family heard this, they became interested. "What does Miss Chi do for a living? Selling coffins or taking the funeral work of the dead? ”
With these words, Chi Jing suddenly found that he couldn't answer it.
...
But the jade bottle came to breathe a sigh of relief, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "Phew, you are the one who takes the dead to work..."
"Oh." The Chu family suddenly realized, "The one who sells the coffin?" That's the right place for me. Although I am only a coffin bearer, when it comes to the wooden texture of this coffin, I know no less than the shopkeeper in the coffin shop..."
Why bother not to intervene in these topics, but I feel more and more crazy in my heart. The three of them just woke up and their minds were not clear, Miss Chi had a clear mind, and the few of them just squatted next to the grave of Uncle Zheng's father and son to talk about the coffin...
Isn't it time to talk about it in a different place?
When the jade bottle heard this, he was even more angry, and yelled: "What are you talking about, you only sell coffins!" ”
The Chu family felt deeply aggrieved: "If you don't sell coffins, you don't take the funeral work of the dead, so what are you looking for me?" ”
"Our girl runs a restaurant!" The jade bottle proudly raised her chin and said. In the capital and Gucheng, who doesn't know the girl's Wuhua Building, who doesn't know? It's completely unrelated to dead people's white affairs or something, okay?
"Open a restaurant?" Thinking of the tofu banquet on the table, the Chu family's eyes lit up, and they swallowed their saliva, but they quickly collapsed into a bitter gourd face: "It's okay for you to ask me to help carry the coffin, what can I do when I go to the restaurant?" ”
"I don't need you to do anything." Chi Jing took over and smiled soothingly at the jade bottle.
"Girl, do you mean to let me do nothing, eat and drink for nothing?" Is there really such a big frog jumping in the street? Is this girl stupid? I'm also a fool, and I've been seriously discussing it for so long.
"It's true." Chi Jing said again. "Usually you don't need to do anything, if you're busy, you can help chop meat, according to your current salary to carry the coffin ten times, but I have one condition."
...
The jade bottle didn't know what Chi Jing had planned, but she had always blindly supported any decision made by Chi Jing, so she didn't say anything. And He Bifang didn't think there was anything wrong with the strange treatment proposed by Chi Jing, just because he knew what she was going to say next, because she had said so to herself.
"On what terms?" It seems that this girl is serious, otherwise how could she not even be surprised by He Bifang. Can you really believe it? The Chu family couldn't tell what they felt in their hearts...
"The only condition is that I won't force you to do things that hurt nature and reason and go against your will, but if I need you to help me do something, you have to do your best to help me do it." Chi Jingdao, I believe they can also understand what it means to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.
"Girl, what do you fancy about me..."It seems a little inappropriate to say this, but the Chu family can't think of a more appropriate way to ask.
"You're agile and agile, you're strong enough, and you're good at disguise. Of course, you have some other advantages, and you will know by then. "Chi Jing can stop at the right time, and he sells it a little.
"Do I have to follow you?" This temptation is not insignificant, after all, ten times the salary, you can feed several more lonely children...
"I wasn't trying to trap you. You can go wherever you want, and if you have any worries that you can't let go of in Beixian, you can wait for me to send you in Beixian. If you plan to go to the capital with me, you can also ask someone to bring money back to Beixian every month. "Not only is the salary good, but also the money is more close to home... Chi Jing thinks that he is definitely the best owner in the whole Dongli! No, she's actually more of a headhunter.
However, people like the Chu family are worth it.
It really doesn't look like a joke... The Chu family was a little panicked, what if they woke up tomorrow and everything was a dream?
"It seems that we should all go back and rest first, and you can think about it all night, and reply to me tomorrow. Why bother knowing where you live, we'll look for you tomorrow. Chi Jing saw what he was thinking and decided to give him a night to digest and digest it.
Although she thought he would definitely agree.
...
Looking at the moon in the sky, I was surprised to find that it was almost time to enter. They have been in this barren mountain for so long...
After a stirring spirit, several people hurriedly said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes.
The new tomb finally regained its tranquility, and the wind blew gently through the banyan tree, and the leaves of the banyan tree sounded softly again. The dappled moonlight reflected on the tombstone, and the wind gradually became stronger, accompanied by the distant sound of a flute from nowhere, like the whispering of the sleeper underground.
The wind became more and more cold, blowing the weeds on the old graves next to them a little shrunken. The two rats rushed through the graves, and when they passed the two new graves, it was as if they had been stuck to their feet, and their eyes as small as mung beans seemed to suddenly find their way back to the rat holes, and they couldn't even make a "squeak" sound.
It seems to have stayed for a long time, and it seems to be just a moment of blinking. The two rats found that they were suddenly able to move again, shook their bodies, and hurried away from the strange grave that exuded the aura of a corpse rushing to the sky.
As they had gone, the moon had slanted a little more, and without the shade of the banyan leaves, the moonlight illuminated one of the two new tombs.
