Text Chapter 222 Picture Poor Dagger

The third child giggled and said, "Uncle, look at what you said!" It's not easy for a nephew, isn't it? You eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and you have to let me drink some soup, don't you? If it's like you, my nephew won't be allowed to drink the northwest wind? ”。

Zheng Nanpo glanced at me and said, "In this way, you don't have to pay a price, Mr. Charlie really wants to see it, I'm in charge, how about we just have one or two silver?" ”。

The third child is worried: "One or two pieces of silver is too little, right?" I see what's going on, I have to get two taels! If it's missing, I'm not going to do it! ”。

Zheng Nanpo said: "No, no, two taels of silver is too much, don't you treat your uncle as a big wrongdoer?" ”。

The third child was a little annoyed and sneered: "Uncle, why are you turning your elbows out?" ”。

When Zheng Nanpo saw the third child say this, he couldn't help but raise his voice an octave, and said, "Why did my elbow turn out?" Do you know that your uncle is helping his relatives or not? We'll only give you a tael of silver, and if you want it, you can take it, and if you don't want it, we won't look at it!" ”。

The corners of the third child's mouth twitched, and he said, "Uncle, it's not easy for you to go all the way away, so I'll make a pot of tea, and you drink it first!" I don't care about you two dates, they've already been sold anyway! ”。

Zheng Nanpo's face turned blue with anger, and he stomped his feet and snorted: "Brother Charlie, let's go!" I want to see how much more he can make without me! ”。

When I saw that the conversation between the two of them had collapsed, I thought, "It's not easy for me to come here, so what's the matter if I just go back?" Don't say it's two taels of silver, even if he asks me for twenty taels, I have to give it? ”。 I then stood up, grabbed Zheng Nanpo and said, "Oh, Brother Nanpo, are you angry!" Let's talk about it again, how can you do this? Throw your face if you don't agree with each other? ”。

Zheng Nanpo said: "Brother, I'm ...... This...... It's really faceless! I don't have a nephew like him in the future...... ”。

I persuaded him: "Lao Zheng, I naturally know what you are, and I am very grateful, but this business is a sale, and relatives are relatives, how can the two be confused?" I think the third child is right, but it's you, the uncle, it's a little inappropriate! ”。

The third child patted his thigh next to him and said: "Oh, or Mr. Charlie said a fair word, we are in business, although he is my own uncle, but he can't rely on the old and sell the old?" ”。

I nodded and said, "The third child is right, you see if this will work, let's just follow the price you just said, how about two taels of silver?" ”。

The third smiled and said: "I said that earlier, didn't it end it?" You bring the silver first, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other! ”。 With that, he spread a hand in front of me. When I came out of Beijing, in addition to a few silver tickets, I also had four or five hundred foreign coins in my bag, so I opened my leather bag, grabbed a handful of foreign money, and counted it to the third child!

When the third child heard the sound of foreign money in his purse, he couldn't help but say with envy: "Mr. Charlie, you are really a rich man!" ”。

After I finished paying, I asked the third child, "I have paid all the money, why haven't you brought your things?" ”。

The third child counted the foreign money, then laughed dryly twice and said, "Mr. Charlie, what are you anxious about?" ”。 While staring at the leather bag in my hand, he checked the foreign money in his hand and said, "You wait, I'll bring you something!" ”。 With that, he walked out of the house with the oil lamp!

The inside of the house suddenly darkened, and I heard Zheng Nanpo cursing in a low voice: "White-eyed wolf! ”。

After a while, the third child came back with a silk bag in his arms, and he came back with a smile, and he said to me, "Mr. Charlie, I can bring you what you want!" ”。

I quickly stood up and went to pick up the burden in his hand, but he protected it and said, "Be careful, this thing is worth a lot of silver!" ”。 After speaking, he looked around, but could not find a place to put the baggage, so he had to put it on the ground, and said, "You can watch it here, and I will take it when I am done!" ”。

Lao Zheng and I squatted on the ground and let Xiao Liuzi carry the lantern, and the two of us uncovered the burden little by little. After many layers of peeling, I finally saw a shriveled corpse wrapped in the baggage! The corpse had human features and limbs, much like the corpse of a child. But it also has a difference from people, that is, the corpse is covered with white hair, all the teeth are poked out, and the nails on the hands and feet are like knives, very sharp, and from these points alone, it has nothing to do with people! I couldn't help but wonder, is there really a drought in this world? Or is it something that the locals call the mardle, which is actually a species that is not well known? ”。 My heart pounded, and I thought, "If I am lucky enough to discover this new species, will I not leave a glorious mark in the history of human science?" ”。 Thinking of this, I took out a magnifying glass from my bag and carefully looked at the white hair covering the surface of the corpse, yes, those white hairs grew on the skin of the corpse, and the mouth of this strange corpse was wide open, and from the outside you could see its mouth full of white teeth, just from its teeth you can judge that when this monster is alive, it must be a carnivorous animal, not only ferocious but also very dangerous!

I looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, and the more I looked at it, the more I realized that this corpse should be an animal that had never been seen before, if not a dry fish, and I couldn't help but be amazed, and thought, "If I can transport this corpse back to England, I wonder how much of an international sensation it will cause?" ”。

Zheng Nanpo didn't know anything about zoology, and when he saw that I was so interested in this corpse, he couldn't help but whisper to me, "Brother Charlie, is this corpse a drought?" ”。 When he saw that I was noncommittal, he stretched out his finger and poked at the shriveled corpse and said, "Is it a drought?" It's scary! ”。

The third child was dissatisfied and said: "Uncle, be careful, don't poke things for me!" ”。

Zheng Nanpo said: "Aren't we all giving money?" What's the matter, you can't even poke it? ”。

The third child said: "Uncle, why are you getting more and more confused the older you get?" What you gave just now was the money for seeing, but you haven't given the money yet! ”。

Zheng Nanpo was almost angry by the third child's words that were not salty or light, he opened his eyebrows, snorted coldly, turned his back, and no longer looked at the corpse!

I squatted on the ground, my legs were numb, and I asked the third child, "How many days has this thing been dead?" ”。

The third child pouted, rolled his eyes, and said, It's been a few days, if it weren't for my ingenuity to dry him, you wouldn't be able to look at it now! I asked him again, how much can I get for this item? The third child smiled and said, "I won't sell you as much as you give!" ”。

I asked why? The third smiled and said, "I have already sold this thing to Father Fernando!" ”。 After saying that, he wrapped the dried corpse on the ground in silk cloth again. I grabbed his hand and asked, "Which Fernando are you talking about?" ”。

The third child said, "Which other Fernando is there?" Is it the one in the city? ”。

At this time, the little six sons reminded me: "Sir, he is talking about the Fernando priest in the Belgian church in the North Market!" ”。

I suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him, I don't know how much money he promised you?" ”。 The third child smiled and said, "This...... This one......! ”。

I said it doesn't matter, how much money does he pay, can I double it? If it doesn't work to double, I'll double it! The third child's face was swollen red with joy, and he rubbed his hands and said, "This is not very good, Lao Fei even paid the fixed money, he will find me trouble if I do this!" ”。

I asked, "How much did he promise to pay you?" ”。

The third child stretched out three fingers and gestured: "It's not much, he promised to pay me this amount!" ”。

How much I ask? He said, "Thirty taels of silver!" ”。

I said okay, I'll give you ninety taels, and you can transfer the corpse to me! The third child was overjoyed and said, "Really? Is this really worth that much silver? ”。

I said I'd pay so much money, and of course it would be worth the price! The third child slapped his thigh, jumped up with joy, and said, "Mr. Charlie, you are my nobleman!" Your shot is ninety taels of silver, which is much more generous than that old fee...... Just for you, I am not ambiguous about the third child, you take out the silver, and I will hand over the things to you now! ”。

I said okay, turned around and went to get the purse, but I saw Xiao Liuzi winking at me! I thought to myself, what's wrong with this little sixth, does he have something to tell me? I felt that something was wrong, so I clutched my stomach and said, "Oops, why does my stomach hurt all of a sudden?" It must be noon today, and I ate something bad! Third, where is your latrine? ”。

The third said: "The toilet is in the yard!" ”。

I staggered to the door with my purse, turned back to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Little Liuzi, you help me shine on the light!" ”。 Xiao Liuzi said "hey" and carried a lantern to light it up for me in front! The third child glanced at Zheng Nanpo and shouted to me: "Mr. Charlie, it's dark in the toilet, you can be careful!" ”。

I answered and said, "Gotcha! ”。

Xiao Liuzi and I opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Xiao Liuzi carried the lantern, turned his head and said to me, "Sir, be careful under your feet!" ”。 I nodded and motioned for him to hurry up! Xiao Liuzi and I walked outside the toilet door, I picked up my clothes, lowered my voice and asked Xiao Liuzi, "What's wrong?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi turned his head to look into the house and whispered to me, "Sir, you have been fooled!" ”。

I asked, "How did you fall for it?" You can make it clear, huh? ”。

Xiao Liuzi panicked: "Sir, don't ask again, you know that thing is fake!" I don't have time to explain ...... to you right now! ”。

I walked into the hut, stood inside and asked, "How do you know?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi said: "A few days ago, I saw them sneaky, so I guessed what they were going to do, but I didn't expect that the person they were going to deceive turned out to be Mr.!" ”。

I pretended to finish going to the toilet and returned to the house relaxed, and when the third child saw that I was back, he hurriedly came up and said to me, "Mr. Charlie, when will you be able to pay the money?" In that case, we can also pay off the money and goods, and we don't owe each other! ”。

I snorted and said, "This bubble of, it reminds me of something!" ”。

The third child was puzzled: "What is it?" What do you mean, Mr. Charlie? ”。

I smiled and said, "What I mean, it's better for us to slow down this deal, after all, ninety taels of silver is not a small amount, whether to buy it or not, I still have to ask for instructions!" ”。

When the third child heard my temporary change of hexagram, his face was pulled down, and he said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You can't be the master, why are you playing cymbals with me here?" ”。

My heart tightened, and my heart said that it was broken, they were trying to see the dagger!
