Chapter 427: For the sake of face
He hurriedly stuffed the pocket watch to me again: "No, little brother, the last time your family came to talk to me, they said that they would come for 200 yuan, but why did they become 50 when they came to you?" ”
This is an evil thing, and the resentment in it is so heavy, maybe it has caused trouble because of it before, and if the other party doesn't want to hurry up, then there is a ghost.
So I said to him, "Two hundred? This watch is worth so much money. Come, look at it, what kind of case has been ground into, I will take it back, it will cost dozens of dollars just to repair it, and your thing is not a rare commodity, I just repaired it when I look back, and it is estimated that it may not be able to be sold, and in the end I have to smash it in my own hands. Fifty, just fifty, I really can't do more, and if I have more, I'll lose a lot of money. ”
The other party became a little anxious: "I said, you little brother, why are you so unreasonable?" The adults in your family have said that they will receive 200 yuan, hey, you just said that you have to be honest in doing business, and you said 200, why can't it be reduced to 50? ”
Oh, now you say I'm unreasonable, you now know that you are honest in trading, and you don't know who it was just now, and you quoted me a price of 300 yuan as soon as you came up.
For this watch, my psychological price is fifty, and I don't want to give a penny more, but the seventh master also said that there is a magnetic root in this watch, and the palladium compass can be repaired by relying on it.
To accept it or not to accept it is really a troublesome matter.
Just when I was in a dilemma, my phone suddenly vibrate, and I lit up the screen to see that it was Li Huaishan who sent a message, saying that Boss Wen was looking for me for something and asked me to hurry up and go back.
It's also strange, Boss Wen has something to look for me, can't he contact me directly, and ask Li Huaishan to bring me a message?
That being said, I also know that I still have a lot of work to deal with, and I really can't afford to waste too much time here.
Seeing that this owner was not a good talker, I didn't want to continue to fight with him, so I gritted my teeth and said to him: "Okay, two hundred is two hundred, alas, this time I will lose a lot." ”
As I spoke, I took out two large red bills from my pocket, and as soon as the other party saw me take out the money, his eyes began to glow, and when I handed him the money, he seemed to be afraid that I would snatch it back, so he made an excuse and ran away.
Isn't it just two hundred dollars?
With a wry smile in my heart, I returned to the car with my pocket watch in my hand.
When I walked to Zuo Youdao's side, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I spent two hundred yuan to buy such a broken thing, and I guess I will smash it in my hands again this time." ”
Zuo Youdao leaned towards me, and raised his chin in praise of the old arms in my hand: "This is the 'old object'?" ”
I nodded, "Yes, that's it." You don't look at it ordinary on the outside, but it's ...... inside."
As I spoke, I opened the lid of my pocket watch, and the thick resentment suddenly burst out.
As soon as the resentment appeared, Zuo Youdao's heavenly spirit covered it with a very strong spiritual rhyme, which did not seem to be catalyzed by him through telekinesis, but a natural outpouring, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised in my heart, and couldn't help but look at the top of Zuo Youdao's head twice.
Zuo Youdao didn't notice my eyes, just stared at the pocket watch in my hand.
I pressed the lid back on and said to him, "This is what the old thing is." Hehe, I didn't expect the resentment inside to be so heavy, I'm busy tonight. ”
Zuo Youdao asked me how to deal with the grievances on the pocket watch, and I didn't answer him directly, but said: "Old objects like this often attract some unclean things." ”
"Are there many old things like this?" He asked, staring at the pocket watch in my hand.
When he asked, I didn't know how to answer, so I pondered for a moment before saying, "Much, not much." It's up to you to look at them from which level. ”
He nodded, and didn't ask any more.
After about twenty minutes, the yellow skin returned, saying that the salt works were too big and there were many workers, and that it would be difficult to spot his whereabouts if the Onmyoji came in disguised as a worker. However, there is only one road to the salt farm, so it is recommended to go to the side of the road to squat.
Later, Zuo Youdao asked the opinion of the little sissy gun, and the little sissy did not recommend going to the mainland to squat, saying that there were few people in the coastal development zone, and a few people suddenly appeared on the street, which would arouse suspicion, and then he divided everyone into three groups, he and Zuo Youdao went to guard the east gate of the salt field, Wang Lei and I went to guard the west gate, and Huang Pizi went to the lighthouse alone to carry out all-round vigilance on the salt field.
I can see that this little sissy is in Zuo Youdao's team, and her identity should be similar to that of a master or a military advisor.
According to the instructions of the little girl, Wang Lei and I went to the West Gate, but Huang Pizi did not go to the lighthouse, but disguised himself as a saltworks worker and walked around on the beach.
Listening to Huang Pizi, that Onmyoji is a person with very strong anti-reconnaissance ability, and when he enters the salt field, he will definitely pay attention to where there is an observation point, and at that time, he will first pay special attention to the towering lighthouse, if Huang Pizi hides on it, it will be easy to be exposed.
In order to paralyze the enemy, Huang Pizi also asked me to help, and asked the foreman of the salt factory for a few sets of workers' clothes for everyone to change, and I prepared chairs and teacups for Zuo Youdao and Xiao Sissy by the way, so that they could make a look of drinking water and chatting.
The reason why he did things as thoughtfully as possible was because he didn't want to lose face in front of Zuo Youdao and them.
In fact, I can see from the way they do things and analyze problems that there is a big gap between me and Li Huaishan compared with the three of them, whether it is in terms of experience or rigor in doing things.
After Wang Lei and I came to the West Gate, we had nothing to do, just staring at the sun-scorched road, and our mood gradually became a little impetuous.
Later, Wang Lei was probably a little panicked, so he took the initiative to talk to me: "Hey, why did you become so serious today?" ”
The skin on his face was fake, his lips couldn't understand like a normal person when he spoke, and his voice was a little slurred, and it took me a little effort to understand what he meant, so I asked him, "What do you mean by making me serious, wasn't I serious before?" ”
Wang Lei said: "It's a chair and a teacup, you won't do things so authentically before." Come on, come on, tell me, what's going on with you today? ”
I didn't bother to talk to him, but I didn't bother with him, and there was no one else around me to talk to, so I finally pouted and said, "I just don't want people to think that the new generation of people in the family is not as good as them." ”
Wang Lei: "To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of face." ”
I glanced at him: "It's just for the sake of face, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Lei stared at me for a while, and suddenly laughed maliciously.
When he laughs, his voice is not normal, others are "hahaha" or "hehehe", but the sound from his mouth is: "Roar, roar, roar, ......"
I was annoyed by him, so I covered his mouth impatiently: "Okay, don't laugh, your movement is weird and disgusting." ”
Wang Lei didn't say a word of nonsense, he raised his arm on the spot and slapped me on the back.
This guy is Shura, and his strength is not smaller than mine, and this fight hurts a lot.
I glanced at him: "Don't move your hands and feet, I'm really in a hurry to beat you." I can't beat the second master, and I can't beat you? ”
Wang Lei replied very unhappily: "Come on, you." If it had been a few years ago, the second master would have been so much stronger than me. ”
I "cut" and said, "Blow it, you'll do it." ”
Wang Lei leaned in front of me: "I'm serious, when the second master fought with me, I was injured internally." I have also fought with Zuo Youdao. ”
As soon as he said this, I became interested: "And then, you weren't beaten into socks by Zuo Youdao and them?" ”
Wang Lei: "At that time, they were not my opponents at all. ”
I gave him another look: "Alas, I really don't understand your inner world, and you can brag so fake." ”
Wang Lei: "What I said is true, why don't you believe me." ”
I said, "I just don't believe it, what can you do with me?" ”
Wang Lei slapped me again: "I just can't communicate with people like you, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
Every time I chat with Wang Lei, I have bad intentions towards each other at the beginning, and I have to quarrel in the second half of the chat. But we can't quarrel today, after all, there are outsiders present.
Later, he ignored me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so everyone just stared at the ground and rubbed the time.
I don't know how long it took, my mobile phone vibrated again without warning, at first I thought it was Li Huaishan urging me to go back, but when I opened my phone, the text message was sent from an unfamiliar number, and the content was only a few words: "The target appeared, go to the north of the city dock." ”
Zuo Youdao's mobile phone number I already have on my phone, this text message, must have been sent to me by the little sissy or Huang Pizi, but when did they know my number.
I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to delay more, so I hurriedly pulled Wang Leiwang pickup to the side, and sent a text message to Li Huaishan as I walked, asking him to help me find a road connecting the salt works and the north wharf of the city, the shorter the better.
Li Huaishan quickly replied, he sent a partial map of the Binhai Development Zone, on which the shortest route was marked with watercolor pen, I took a quick look, and then put the phone back in my pocket.
After they joined Zuo Youdao, Huang Pizi said that he had already seen the Onmyoji, in order not to startle the snake, he didn't do it for the time being, and now the Onmyoji seems to have noticed some abnormalities and turned around and went to the north of the city.
I don't know how Huang Pizi knew that the other party was going to the dock, I was a little curious, but I was embarrassed to ask too much, for fear that the other party would help me as an inexperienced newcomer, and all the questions could only be held in my heart.
Fortunately, Li Huaishan still helped me earn back a little face, the road he chose was indeed a shortcut between the salt field and the north wharf of the city, if you take the main road, there is a distance of nearly 80 kilometers between the two ground lines, and it will take at least an hour to walk, and Li Huaishan helped me choose this road, we only spent half an hour to complete the whole journey.
