Chapter 303: The Tattered King
I was convinced: "You are still the boss, you are experienced and taught." ”
The tattered king is a man with a true temperament, and Meimei smokes a cigarette: "Look at you, this young man speaks politely, is also educated, and sensible. In this way, I'll help you listen and listen, and if you can trust me, brother, you can tell me what your boss lost. ”
I coughed, my nose was full of garbage smell, and the tattered king was also an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, and he made a look at me. We came down from the garbage hill and turned a corner, and there was a shed against the outer wall. The shanty is a local dialect in the Northeast, which is a small house built temporarily with some wooden planks and bricks.
Inside, there is a table and a bed, and there is a thermos on the table, of course, the taste here is not too good. The tattered king was very polite, holding a thermos to pour me water, and when I saw the cup, I suddenly had no desire to drink water. This is an old-fashioned water cup, and there are a few red words written on the outside, "Who is the cutest person", and this cup is estimated to sell for a few bucks in the antique market.
I hurriedly said, "I'm not thirsty, let's get down to business." ”
"Uh-huh, you say, what the hell did you lose?" The Rag King asked.
I was silent for a moment, and then the tattered king said: "You can't trust my brother, I'm a principled person, and I won't take ill-gotten gains, otherwise I wouldn't be picking up rags now, right?" Don't grind and chirp when we do things, just say what you want. ”
I said, "It's not that I can't trust my brother, but it's that our boss lost this thing is a bit weird." ”
The Tattered King became interested: "What do you say?" ”
"He threw a dried corpse." I say.
The Tattered King didn't understand at first, but when he was clear, his eyes widened: "Dry corpse? Damn, the corpses are thrown in the garbage? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "Boss, your voice is quieter." Things are not what you think. ”
I lit myself a cigarette, and we sat at the head of the bed with a gantry array, and I said, "Our boss has an ancestral dried corpse, but it's not a human, it's a small animal." It is said that the dried corpse of this small animal was given by a Taoist chief a long time ago, and it can bless the family with great wealth and wealth for generations. However, our boss's son showed this thing to a foreign friend, who was very interested and spent a lot of money to buy the dried corpse. What ...... the result?"
I deliberately hung my appetite.
The Tattered King listened to it with relish, and was a person who loved to listen to stories, so he quickly patted his thigh: "Brother said, what happened." ”
As a result, the foreigner went out in a car, and there was an accident on the way, and there was a car accident, and the whole family died, which was miserable. At the scene of the car accident, the whereabouts of the dried body are unknown. That's what I'm here for. I said.
The Tattered King was not an idle person, and said suspiciously, "Then how did you find this garbage dump?" ”
"The scene of the foreigner's car accident is on the road not far from here." I said.
The Tattered King suddenly froze, as if he remembered something, and did not speak for a long time.
"Big brother, big brother, are you okay?" I hurriedly asked.
The Tattered King waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, brother, you keep talking, and then what?" ”
"I followed this last clue, and I was looking for a needle in a haystack when it was so big, so I wanted to try my luck at the dump. It's the right time, how many years have you been scavenging here, big brother? I asked.
The Rag King was a little absent-minded: "It's been a long time, I'll come out to pick up waste after the factory is yellow." My mouth was spreading pancakes outside, and I said I wouldn't do that, and the streets were full of acquaintances, and I wouldn't let me, the squad leader, go out and serve people. I simply came here to pick up the rags, and the masks were all over the place, and I was stuck in the garbage heap, and it was good that no one saw anyone. But don't say it, now that life is better, there is gold hidden in the garbage, I have picked up a lot of good things, and my family has bought a house. ”
I looked at my words: "Boss, I looked at you just now as if I remembered something, can you provide some clues?" ”
The Tattered King hurriedly said: "No, no, by the way, brother, let me ask more, when did the foreigner's car accident happen?" ”
"Oh, it's been a year since I said this, and I don't know exactly when." I say.
The Rag King said, "Can this thing still be here in a year?" I don't know how many hands have changed now, how far I have gone, and I can't say how far I am abroad. ”
"Hehe," I smiled: "It's because the scope is too big that I have to start looking here, and I can't start from Hainan Island." ”
The Tattered King suddenly laughed: "Brother, why are you looking for a dry corpse, you didn't tell the truth." ”
I thought to myself, "What? ”
The Tattered King said: "You have put so much effort into digging into the garbage heap, and you are slapping me as a grassroots, I'm afraid that if you really want to find the dried corpse, you will definitely not give your boss back." ”
"I keep it for myself?"
The tattered king said: "Yes, the dried corpse is a Taoist thing, it must be a god, you can guarantee great wealth and wealth when you get it, are you still not tempted?" ”
I smiled and said, "Brother, you only know one thing but you don't know the other. ”
"I want to hear about it."
I said, "This thing is like Western medicine, like if you have a rash, it can indeed cure you, but it goes away quickly, and the side effects are big, because it contains hormones." The dried corpse itself is not valuable, the problem is that there are evil spirits trapped inside, and getting it can indeed bless the rich and noble, but once the offering is not good, it will be eaten by the yin matter, and it will be even more unlucky at that time. ”
As soon as I said this, the tattered king's face became even worse, and he squeaked and lost interest.
After chatting for a while, the Tattered King tactfully issued an eviction order so that I could go to the garbage dump and look for it, and he would cover me.
Coming out of the shed, the Tattered King was busy, and I leaned against the wall and twitched. Huang Xiaotian said: "This kid has a problem. Brother Silver Fox, please keep an eye on him, if he knows anything inside, he will definitely move later. ”
The Silver Fox Lay Man lazily walked towards the Tattered King in the distance, and his figure flickered and disappeared.
I wiped my sweat secretly, my two old fairies are really cows, out of the yin god in broad daylight, and they are not afraid of the sun at all.
I heard Huang Xiaotian say that the real way to become an immortal is to come out of the yang god, that is the avenue, and now the yin god is traveling, although it is also awesome to say it, but in front of the real masters, it still does not enter the eyes of the law.
I took the woven bag and pulled the garbage with a stick as I walked, and now that I was here, I felt the life of a waste picker.
At noon, all the scavengers gathered together to eat, and there was a clean area behind the garbage dump, and everyone brought a lunch box, which was a simple steamed bun, pickles, and boiled water, and they talked and laughed together, and ate in full swing.
I didn't join in the excitement, I watched from afar, the tattered king really had something on his mind, sitting there while eating, he was distracted, and whoever greeted him, he was also absent-minded.
I asked Huang Xiaotian softly, "Sect Leader Huang, do you think the dried corpse will be in his hands?" ”
Huang Xiaotian condensed and said: "No, if the dry corpse was there, he would have been confused by now." I observed him with Silver Fox just now, and he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't have that much anger on him. But he must know something. ”
In the afternoon, the Tattered King found an excuse to slip away first, looking at his back, I didn't move, anyway, there was a silver fox monk following him.
Time passed quickly, night fell, and the scavengers did not have the habit of fighting at night, so they said that they could not afford to use the flashlight, and they all left in pieces. I hid in a corner of the garbage dump and chatted with Huang Xiaotian. After a short time, Huang Xiaotian suddenly said: "Brother Silver Fox has sent me a message, this tattered king is really tired, he returned to the village, climbed over the wall into an old house, and rummaged through the cabinets to find things." ”
"Let's go." I stood up.
The two of us got out of the garbage dump and walked for a long time and finally got a small bus on the side of the road. Huang Xiaotian complained that you should have the whole car, otherwise it would be too troublesome to go back and forth.
The small bus stopped at a place called Erjiabao, which is considered the junction of the town, and the surrounding area has been developed, and part of the village structure is still retained, and there is no light around at night, so I entered the village in the dark.
The Silver Fox Monk and Huang Xiaotian are both great supernatural powers, just communicate with their hearts and minds back and forth, Huang Xiaotian showed me the way, and I quickly found an old courtyard.
This is an ordinary farmhouse, with a large locked iron gate, and there is silence around it, and the walls are half-collapsed. Looking in through the moonlight, there were no dogs or chickens in the yard, and there were wild grasses growing on the ground, and it was obvious that this family had fallen into ruin, and no one lived in it for a long time.
I came to the outside of the wall and climbed into it with the crumbling remnants of the wall without much effort. I saw a big tiled house inside, and there was a flash of light, and someone was turning on a flashlight.
In the middle of the night, I came here sneakily to make flashlights, either treacherous or thief. At this time, the silver fox monk came out of the corner and said to us, "The tattered king is inside, as if he was looking for something, and he has been rummaging all night, but he has not eaten. ”
I waved my hand: "Catch him." ”
I sneaked to the front of the big tiled house, peeked through the dusty glass window, and the flashlight light came from the innermost room, flashing from time to time, and the atmosphere was really a little tense.
I gently pushed the window, locked it tightly, and the silver fox monk said: "Little golden boy, the back window is open, let's enter from the back." ”
I walked around the wall under the windowsill to the back of the house, and the backyard was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and there was not even a dog barking in the village at night, and I saw a window open, and it was from where the Tattered King probably had climbed in.
