I saw that Qiang Shun seemed to be quite anxious at this time, so I didn't ask in detail, and followed him out of the hotel.

At this time, at two o'clock in the afternoon and almost three o'clock, the hotel was already empty, and we had finished our work, which was the most leisurely time of our day.

The hotel where Qiangshun is located is a little higher grade than the one I am in, the front of the hotel is a hall for guests to eat, and the back is a small courtyard, which is a kitchen and warehouse.

Qiang Shun led me through the hall to the backyard, and saw a few people standing at the door of the warehouse, Qiang Shun quietly pointed to them and led me over.

Among several people, there was a middle-aged man in a suit shirt, with a fat head and big ears, and Qiang Shun whispered to me that this was their boss. The other few are surrounded by middle-aged people, all of them look bad, and they don't look like good people. Qiang Shun whispered to me again, these people, he had seen before, were the ones who lost the raft by the waterhole, that is, the ones who drove them.

At this time, the middle-aged man in the suit is talking to a few other people, you say a word and I say a word in full swing, I listen, use dialects, now this place belongs to the junction of Henan Province and Hubei Province, what they say has Henan flavor and Hubei flavor, we can understand more than half, a few seem to be negotiating the price at this time, no one cares about me and Qiangshun.

Qiang Shun quietly pointed at their feet, and I looked down and involuntarily gasped.

At the feet of a few people, there was a wire cage, the cage could be the size of a horizontal bucket, and inside the cage, there was a small animal.

This little animal, with a dark body, a pointed nose and a large tail, looks like a weasel, curled up in a cage, with its tail covered its body, only its nose and eyes are exposed, and its eyes wander, looking around in horror.

After reading it, I turned my head to look at Qiang Shun, Qiang Shun's face looked very unnatural, and he asked me in a low voice, "Look...... This one...... Is this the thing that Silly Brother Niu caught on the mountain last time? ”

I swallowed my saliva, didn't say a word, and nodded, this black guy is the thing that the stupid cow caught, this is not an ordinary little animal, this is just a fine thing!

Qiang Shun lowered his voice again and said: "Also, at noon that day, we were taking a nap in the forest, and I heard a movement, so I woke up, and I saw a person in black standing in front of you, and then I turned into this thing and ran away!" After Qiang Shun finished speaking, he looked frightened.

I nodded again, this is what happened at noon that day after the stupid cow caught that thing, although I was not in good spirits at that time, but I still remember that I was still complaining about Qiang Shun and the stupid cow, and getting into trouble with something that shouldn't be messed with.

I turned my head to look at the few people around the middle-aged man in the suit, all of them looked like hooligans, I immediately thought about it, and understood, this black guy in the cage, since he was caught by the stupid cow, has been following us, whether he wants to take revenge, or what he wants, this is hard to say.

Later, when we left the place where the bronze medal was broken, it probably didn't leave in a hurry, but it was discovered and caught by these villagers who occupied the top of the mountain.

The reason why Qiangshun and their restaurant are better than our business is mainly because they sell wild game in the mountains, pheasants and hares in the mountains. But this thing, why is it so stupid when it's all fine, and it's actually caught twice before and after?

Qiang Shun glanced at me and asked me what to do with his eyes, but I still didn't say anything, at this time, the middle-aged man in the suit seemed to have negotiated the price with a few villagers, took out two hundred yuan from his body, and handed it to a few people.

When a few villagers saw the money, they immediately smiled, took the money and were about to leave, the middle-aged man in the suit seemed to be satisfied, and finally said to a few ruffian villagers: "The mud and thick cows have been put on hold." ”

The middle-aged man in the suit has a very strong Hubei accent, it shouldn't be their local, what he means by this sentence seems to be, bring it to me if you have anything in the future.

After a few ruffian villagers took the money and left happily, the middle-aged man in the suit noticed the two of us, glanced at me, and asked Qiang Shun if anything was wrong, and Qiang Shun glanced at me timidly.

At this time, I understood the meaning of Qiang Shun calling me over, and Qiang Shun also told me before that their restaurant sells game, and when the chef in the restaurant kills those wild animals, Qiang Shun has to help them with chicken feathers, rabbit skins, and so on.

Right now, this black thing is a refined thing, whoever kills it will definitely be unlucky, Qiang Shun understands this, he called me over, just to ask me to persuade their boss, don't kill this black thing, it's better to let this thing go.

I smiled at the middle-aged man in the suit and asked very calmly, "Uncle, do you know what this black thing is?" ”

The middle-aged man in the suit glanced at me lightly, bent down to pick up the wire cage, and said only one word: "Handover." ”

I blinked my eyes twice, the accent of the middle-aged man in the suit was too heavy, I didn't understand what he said, what was a "handover"?

The middle-aged man in the suit no longer paid attention to the two of us, turned around and entered the warehouse with the cage, and seemed to want to "hand" this and put it in the warehouse.

Qiang Shun suddenly glanced at me, looking very anxious, "Huang He, what should I do, didn't you say that this thing has spirituality, if the boss asks me to kill this thing in the future, will I have to be retributed?" ”

I knew that he was worried about this, and gave him a look, and the two of them followed the middle-aged man in the suit into the warehouse.

The middle-aged man in the suit noticed that we had entered the warehouse, glanced back at the two of us, and then copied the non-standard Mandarin, and said coldly to Qiang Shun: "Don't you know that the warehouse can't be entered casually, get out!" ”

Qiang Shun timidly glanced at me again, and I hurriedly asked the middle-aged man in the suit, "Uncle, do you accept this...... What do you want to do with this 'handover'? ”

The middle-aged man in the suit glanced at me, "You don't care what I'm doing." Then he looked at Qiang Shun again, and said coldly: "Is this your friend, what do you two want to do, don't go out quickly!" ”

I hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't worry, listen to me." As I spoke, I pointed to the black thing in the hand of the middle-aged man in the suit and said, "We caught this thing once in the mountains, and then we found that it was a refined thing, and I didn't dare to keep it, so I ......let it go."

"What did you say?" The middle-aged man in the suit looked me up and down, and before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me, "What kind of refined thing, you two followed me into the warehouse, just for this?" I tell you, I just bought it with money, and if you want it, you will pay for it. ”

I licked my lips and said, "We don't want it, we don't dare to ask for it, uncle, if you can do it well and let this thing go, it will definitely be good for you in the future." ”

"Released?" The middle-aged man in the suit immediately waved at the two of us, "Get out!" Then he said sharply to Qiang Shun: "If you two don't go out now, you won't do it with me in the future!" ”

Qiang Shun glanced at me, I bit my lip, and the two of them came out of the warehouse in a gray manner, came to the courtyard, and did not dare to stay, left the hotel directly from the back door of the courtyard, and walked to the mountain road at the entrance of the hotel in one breath.

The two of them stood on the side of the road, watching the cars in front of them, and Qiang Shun handed me a cigarette, "Huang He, what should we do now?" If the boss told me to kill that thing, wouldn't I ......?"

I took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "I remember that Daochang Chen still has some money there, so let's discuss it with him, ...... 'handover' it, buy it and put it away." ”

When Qiang Shun heard this, he said: "Go back to find Chen Dao and wait until we get off work at night, if you ...... What if the boss tells me to kill that thing at dinner tonight? ”

I glanced at him and said, "It's not easy, if I tell you to kill tonight, don't do it, and tell your boss before you leave, killing this thing will be retributed, and the whole family will not die well!" ”

Afterwards, I went back to my hotel, and Qiang Shun had no choice but to go back to his own hotel.

Because of this incident, we delayed discussing with the boss to add one person to eat, especially Qiangshun, which made their boss unhappy, and they didn't dare to meet with their boss.

Late that night, the guests in the hotel were dispersed, and our day's work was over.

I and Qiangshun, for more than a month, every day is like this, whoever gets off work first, who will wait at the door of the other party's hotel, wait for the two people to meet, climb the mountain and go back together, because Qiangshun's hotel business is good, generally I wait for Qiangshun.

This day was no exception, when it was almost twelve o'clock, the guests in their hotel dispersed one after another, and I waited outside for more than half an hour, and Qiang Shun came out of the hotel.

As soon as the two of them met, I asked him, "What's the matter, your boss didn't call to kill that 'handover' at night, right?" ”

Qiang Shun shook his head, "I didn't let him kill today, the boss said that he would invite someone to eat in a few days, and asked us to feed it with meat in the past few days, and then kill it then." ”

I immediately frowned and muttered in a low voice: "This thing, it looks like a weasel, can you eat meat?" ”

Qiang Shun shook his head again.

After two or three hours of walking on the mountain road, we returned to the village.

Chen Hui and Silly Niu hadn't slept yet, and they were still waiting for us, but the two of us didn't bring back much food today, especially Qiang Shun, because the boss was not happy, and he didn't even dare to carry more leftovers.

Chen Hui was eating with the stupid cow, and the two of us talked about the black thing next to us.

Chen Hui frowned and asked us, "What is that black thing you two are talking about?" ”

I shook my head and said, "We don't know what it is, so we just listen to what the boss says...... 'handover'." ”

"Deliver?" Chen Hui asked, "He said it's their local dialect, right?" ”

Qiang Shun and I nodded at the same time, and Chen Hui immediately nodded lightly, "I understand, he didn't say handover, but a mink, it should be a sable." ”

"Mink?" Qiang Shun and I looked at each other.

Chen Hui said: "The appearance of the mink is very much like a weasel, but the mink live in extremely cold places, and I heard that it is only found in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast. Chen Hui immediately became puzzled, "How can they have mink here?" ”

Hearing Chen Hui say this, I blinked my eyes twice, to be honest, I have grown so big, I have heard of the "mink coat", as for what the mink looks like, I have really never seen it.

Chen Hui asked again: "You say that thing has become a refinement?" ”

Qiang Shun and I nodded at the same time, and I said, "I must have become a jing, and it is likely that he came here from outside the mountain with us." ”

Qiang Shun said: "Once, I also saw the black thing, and it changed into a person in black clothes. ”

When Chen Hui heard this, he immediately stopped eating, got up and rummaged in his baggage, and finally, took out a wad of loose change from the baggage, and I went over with Qiang Shun and helped count it, a total of two hundred and twenty-seven yuan.

When we looked at it, we said, okay, the owner of the restaurant bought it from those villagers for 200 yuan, and our money was enough to buy that thing back.

The next day, when the sky was dark, the four of us went down the mountain together, and when we arrived at the hotel, it was just over nine o'clock, just in time for breakfast. The time of eating in the restaurant is different from that of ordinary people, eating breakfast at nine o'clock, and after eating, we begin to prepare ingredients for noon, and we will continue to eat lunch until the guests are dispersed at noon.

Qiang Shun went back to his hotel alone, I took Chen Hui Silly Niu, entered my restaurant, and served a big bowl of rice to Chen Hui Silly Niu, several other people in the restaurant were very familiar with me, and the boss was not there at that time, no one said anything.

After eating, I said a word to one of my fellow workers, led Chen Hui Silly Niu, and walked towards the restaurant in Qiangshun.
