Chapter 426: The Price of Conscience

However, before I learned the real names of Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, I kept calling them Little Sissy and Yellow Pizi in my heart.

At that time, only Zuo Youdao got into my car alone, and the little girl and Huang Pizi got into Wang Lei's car.

Oh, by the way, there is something I have to explain in advance, on the way to the salt farm, the second master once called me and roughly talked about the case that Zuo Youdao was dealing with.

Listening to the second master, the onmyoji that Zuo Youdao wants to catch has been spreading evil magic all over Bohai Bay recently. He first wrote down some of the techniques of the evil sect on a blank paper or silk silk that had been around for some years, and then put these things that recorded the writing of books in a relatively secret place, luring ordinary people who had illusions about cultivating immortals and attained the Tao, or who had obsessions to find these things.

If someone in the trade discovers these evil arts, they usually don't take it seriously, look at it, and throw it away or burn it if they think it's useless.

But for ordinary people who have not been exposed to magic, obtaining this kind of thing is equivalent to opening a door to another world in front of them, which can easily lead to obsession and abuse.

The key is that these things are not normal spells, and once they are used unscrupulously, it will inevitably cause social unrest.

On the phone, the second master also instructed me that this case was handled by Zuo Youdao personally, and asked me not to interfere too much, if I ran into an onmyoji, I could do it, but I couldn't do it too hard, let alone beat people to death.

In addition, the second master also said that a real estate developer surnamed Dong said that he planned to let him accept the plate of the old house renovation, and he also planned to let Zuo Youdao act as the agent of the family to contact this surnamed Dong.

I asked the second master at the time, why do you want to tell me about this kind of thing, what does the renovation of the old house have to do with me.

The second master didn't say the reason, only said that I would like to get an idea about this matter, if I think Zuo Youdao is good, then this matter is decided, if I can't get along with Zuo Youdao, he will find someone else to do this.

After speaking, the second master hung up the phone, which confused me.

But I have to say that my first feeling about Zuo Youdao is really good, how to say, I always feel ...... It seems that I have seen him somewhere, and sometimes I feel that he and I seem to be the same person.

I knew it was weird, but I couldn't help but think so.

It wasn't until a few years later that I realized why I felt this way when I first saw Zuo Youdao, because in our souls, we all have the mark planted by the same person. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it here.

Zuo Youdao just got into my car, and I, who has never liked to talk to strangers, took the initiative to speak: "These two are cars that pull salt for the salt farm, and I specially borrowed them." I heard that you are going to deal with an onmyoji this time? ”

Zuo Youdao responded with a smile: "Yes." ”

I always felt as if he hadn't finished his words, but for some reason, he only spat out these two words and shut up.

I wasn't too embarrassed to ask too much about this, so I silently stepped on the accelerator and let the car slowly increase its speed.

He didn't speak, I didn't say anything more, the silence in the car made people feel a little stuffy, but I noticed that Zuo Youdao would glance at me from time to time, and there was a little worry in his eyes. I don't know what he's worried about.

In just over an hour's journey, the two of us had only one conversation.

At that time, the car was about to drive to the Binhai Development Zone, and it happened to meet the red light, so I stopped the car, turned my head sideways and said to Zuo Youdao: "Listen to the second master, your kung fu is very powerful." ”

Zuo Youdao smiled embarrassedly: "What's amazing, when I fought with the second master a few years ago, I was almost knocked down by him with a punch." ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "That means, you weren't put down by him?" ”

Zuo Youdao smiled and waved his hand, shook his head and said, "In the end, I was put down." ”

Me: "How long did it take?" ”

Zuo Youdao didn't seem to understand what I meant, "Huh? "Yes.

I said, "How long did it take him to bring you down?" ”

Zuo Youdao pondered for a moment before speaking: "Yes...... Ten seconds? I can't remember, it's fast anyway. ”

Being able to last ten seconds in front of the second master is already very strong, and before I left the house, I couldn't even hold out for five seconds under the second master's hands.

I nodded and gave Zuo Youdao a smile: "Then you are really good, let's have a discussion when we have time." ”

When I said this, I was completely tempting, for fear that Zuo Youdao would think that my identity was not equal to him, so he rejected me in one sentence.

Unexpectedly, he also smiled and only said "yes".

It was his reaction at the time that made me have a more accurate judgment of his character, this is a person who doesn't know how to be public, humble enough, and has no arrogance, he should be a friend worth making.

Zuo Youdao probably didn't sleep well last night, and after this brief conversation, he fell asleep leaning against the car window, and I didn't want to disturb him, so I kept driving silently, trying not to make too much noise.

It wasn't until I arrived at the salt field that I woke up Zuo Youdao.

From the early morning to now, Wang Lei and I have been running on the road for several hours, at this moment the sky has been bright, Wang Lei's cardiopulmonary function is not very good, but also more afraid of light, as soon as he got out of the car, he built a pergola with his hands, and protected his sight with his hand shadow, I took out a bottle of water from the storage box in the car door, locked the door, and walked straight towards Wang Lei.

At that time, Zuo Youdao and Huang Pizi were standing next to the car talking, and when I passed by the two of them, I heard Huang Pizi saying, "Why is this person so unenergetic, it's like he can't wake up." ”

As soon as I heard him, I knew he was talking about me, and smiled and pointed to him, "I heard me." ”

This guy looks a little good, but it's not annoying, and even if he doesn't like what he says, I'm not angry.

But I didn't expect that as soon as the yellow skin was exposed by me, I immediately turned around and walked towards the little sissy as if nothing had happened.

I looked at Huang Pizi's back, I wanted to laugh a little, but I couldn't laugh, Zuo Youdao kept standing by and looking at me, as if he was afraid that I would suddenly get angry, I felt a little embarrassed, so I shouted at Huang Pizi: "There is an old lighthouse on the west side of the salt field, which is a good observation point." ”

I guess I guess it, this yellow skin has no telekinesis, it should be an ordinary person who has not cultivated, since Zuo Youdao has taken him, he must have his usefulness, and I think that this guy always has a fine light in his eyes, no matter when he talks or walks, a pair of eyeballs are always moving around, but his eyes are not impetuous, and every time his eyes fall on a place, his face is very focused.

I guessed that his function in Zuo Youdao's team should be similar to that of a scout, specifically responsible for observing the surrounding situation, or finding a way, so I said this to him.

And in the later contact with Zuo Youdao and his party, it also proved that my speculation at that time was correct.

When I said this, Huang Pizi turned his head and smiled at me, and said, "Thank you." ”。

I also gave him a smile, nodded, handed the water bottle to Wang Lei, and walked towards the beach.

When the seventh master sent me the information of the consignor last night, he said that this so-called consignor is a person with obvious physical characteristics, but he did not describe it specifically, only said that this person looks very similar to a hippopotamus and can be recognized at a glance.

But what kind of person can grow into a hippopotamus, I can't imagine even the wisdom of my life, but there is so much information given by the seventh master, and I can only bite the bullet.

At this point, the salt field has already started, and as I walked, I glanced at the workers who were sweeping the salt, and it didn't take much effort to see a person with a different appearance.

The man had a huge hat on his head, and the sun was shining down on it, casting a shadow just under the hat, so that I couldn't see his eyebrows and eyes clearly, but just by looking at the lower part of his nose and his chin, I knew that he was the owner of the goods.

I've seen people with wide chin before, but this person's chin is no longer wide, it's just a thick iron lump on his face, and his nose is also very distinctive, not only big, but also very flat, a bunch of nostrils can't wait to turn up to the sky, from a distance, it is no different from a big hippopotamus in the park.

It's him, and the owner of the goods is definitely him!

I walked straight up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you going to sell something?" ”

He looked back at me and said, "Three hundred." ”

Where is this, I haven't seen the goods yet, he opened his mouth to quote, besides, the seventh master said that he could receive two hundred yuan, he was good, and he gave me a hundred yuan as soon as he came up.

But I didn't move, just stretched out my hand to him: "I'll take a look at the goods first." ”

He pulled it out of his trouser pocket a few times before he found an old greasy pocket watch.

I took it and took a look, this thing is all silver, but not made of silver, from the age point of view, it should be something within five years, the workmanship can only be said to be okay, but because the case has been worn out of shape, it is not worth a few dollars at all.

If I were to quote a hundred, it would be a hundred.

While thinking this, I opened the case, but as soon as the case opened, a strong resentment immediately came out of it.

This unsightly thing turned out to be an evil thing.

It's not worth much, and with the resentment in it, it's even less valuable.

I looked at the thing in my hand and frowned: "This thing is worth a maximum of fifty dollars." ”

To be honest, this is already a conscience price.

When the other party heard me say this, he immediately shouted: "It's cheap, no, no, I spent hundreds of dollars when I bought it." ”

I smiled helplessly: "I said fellow, let's do business, integrity-based, if you fool me, it won't be interesting." As for your watch, it didn't cost more than 100 yuan when you bought it. The price of conscience is fifty, if you think it is too cheap, then you should keep this watch for yourself. ”

As I spoke, I shoved the watch back into his hand.
