Chapter 869: Pleading
That night, Boss Zhong was also angry with his wife, and he couldn't sleep until the second half of the night, he was suddenly alarmed by a rumbling sound outside, jumped out of bed and put on his clothes and ran out, and looked up in the yard to see that the sky was actually crossing countless meteors, just like fireworks blooming, it was very beautiful, and then, two huge fire balls dragged their long tails from the air, straight to the north, not long after, it was two "boom" loud sounds, and the ground also shook, He felt that this must have been a meteorite hitting the ground, and he was about to climb to the top of the building and call his wife to watch the excitement together, but suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound from the north.
Hiss -
The howling sound became louder and louder, and in an instant, when he just felt that something was wrong, he heard a loud rumbling sound, and there seemed to be countless explosions and thunders above his head, and a burst of dust and smoke fell...
When the smoke cleared, Boss Zhong was horrified to find that the smoke was billowing from the orchard outside the courtyard, and he looked up at the roof of the building, which was already empty, and the small room that came out after him was hit by something, and it had flown out one by one...
Boss Zhong rushed out of the yard like crazy, but before he could run to the small fruit forest, he faintly saw five people standing there, one of them was tall, two meters away, and the two people on the left were shrouded in smoke and couldn't see their faces clearly, but they seemed to be a man and a woman, and the two people on the right Boss Zhong looked real, it was the withered wolf and the fat bear, and they laughed loudly and shouted, "Flying over, enjoyable, enjoyable!" "Especially the withered wolf, next to him is the small house that has been shattered, the proprietress Sister Hong is not dead, but still struggling to climb out from the broken bricks and tiles, the pair of men and women asked what to do, the withered wolf sneered: "She has seen what we look like, it will inevitably cause more trouble when it is passed out, if you don't do it, let's give him a trace of destroying the corpse..."
Those few people seemed to think that there would be no one else in this wilderness. The voice was also very loud, the voice came along the wind, Boss Zhong was already frightened, and was about to scream, but he saw that the fire burned all at once, and then the tall man in the middle grabbed the two of them with one hand, and flew up again, like a wild goose, cut away. In the blink of an eye, it was gone...
"By the time I arrived, the red had already burned and burned into a piece of dry charcoal..."Speaking of this, Boss Zhong hid his face and cried bitterly.
When Boss Zhong was talking, everyone around him was also listening quietly, feeling pity and pity at the same time, he also felt a chill rising behind him.
When Lu Xiaogui heard this, his face changed: "Old, boss, do you mean that the boss lady is no longer there?" No, no, I was in the store all the time. IβWhy didn't I hear anything? He waved his hand again and again, "You, you said that the boss lady is dead, but, but who is that?" He pointed to Sister Hong.
Sister Hong was concentrating on cleaning the ground, and the garbage on the ground was swept into piles by her. At this time, she was at the feet of Boss Zhong, and she scolded with a smile: "You are a dead man, you don't want to come and help when you see the old lady working, hum." Go back to the house to make you look good, lift your feet, dead old clock! β
Boss Zhong took two steps away. Lovingly stroked his wife's hair, tears came out of his eyes again, and he couldn't cry.
"Boss, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the boss?" Lu Xiaogui also cried.
"I, I know-" A person suddenly squeezed out of the crowd that was closer, and Brother Mu saw that it was the little security guard, and he walked quickly to Brother Mu: "Brother Mu, I, I may have guessed what Boss Zhong did." β
Brother Mu nodded lightly and motioned for him to continue.
"Actually, we 'believers' should be able to guess." The little security guard said, looking back at the crowd around him, "Because we-"
"Hey, don't forget our rules!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"rules!" The little security guard suddenly scolded, turned around and stared at the crowd, gritted his teeth and said, "Have you all forgotten our original intention of joining the 'Five Elements Society' at that time?" β
Everyone bowed their heads one after another, and the little security guard walked up to a middle-aged man wearing a "Five Elements Badge": "You say, what did we do for in the first place?" β
The man muttered a few words.
"Be loud, we didn't hear it." The little security guard shouted, don't look at his young age and thin body, but his voice is really not small, which scared the man: "Pray for the fishermen, keep the sea peaceful, town the sea monster sea beast, I wish the family peace." β
"That's right! That's what we believe in! It is to ask us to be safe in all seasons near the sea, and wish our relatives, friends, and local people good health and happiness! The little security guard said, "But now?!" He looked around, "Now we are selfish, and we are hiding it for our own selfish desires, for fear that others will rob us of our benefits-" He walked quickly to several of his companions and bowed deeply, "Brothers, I can't stand you!" Several security guards looked at each other in a daze, didn't understand what it meant, and listened to the little security guard continue: "Actually, let's play mahjong, I cheated." β
Several people were stunned: "You, you are a good man?" β
"It's more despicable than the old man!" The little security guard said, "I'm going to 'pray'!" β
"Please, please?"
"Yes, please, in our 'Five Elements Society', we will conduct a cloth in the 'Five Elements Temple' every three days, and at that time, the archmage of the Buddha will fulfill the wishes of each of us-" The little security guard sighed, "And I saw that my luck was too bad recently, so I casually said that I wanted to win the card, but I didn't expect it to come back and it will come true, and you will win all the money you have worked hard to support your family and marry your daughter-in-law, I, I am the biggest cheat!" I'm sorry! β
Several security guards heard the fog and couldn't react for a while, and one of them said, "Also, there is such a thing?" W-Isn't that good... If there really is such a powerful mage, then, then we will also join the club, and beg him to give us a chance to make a fortune, and it is better to have a few wives per person... Hey, hehe..."
"Do you think there is no price to ask for?" The little security guard said, "Before the archmage casts a spell, he has to exchange things for things. He wants jade, he wants the best jade, and the more rare the jade, the more he can do great things! How many of us here have gone bankrupt because of jade farming. β
Whispers began to be heard in the crowd, and many people glared angrily at the little security guard.
The little security guard didn't care, and said in a loud voice: "Wake up, everyoneβdon't you understand, that so-called archmage has indeed fulfilled our wishes, but we have caused harm to others!" Just like me, I cheated my friends out of their hard-earned money, and you-" He pointed to the old man next to him who was doing Tai Chi in the morning, "I said that I don't want to see the ugliness of the world, I don't want to hear the noise of the world, what has the Grand Master made you like?" Almost became blind and deaf! This can be regarded as his mercy, otherwise? Wouldn't it be happier to let you die a hundred times? β
The old man still couldn't hear clearly, and muttered, "This kid, what are you messing with me haha, why don't you just talk and keep silent." "Look at the people standing around again, "Huh? When did everyone run out? Well, it's just right, it's rare to be quiet! β
The little security guard walked up to a beautiful girl again: "And this eldest sister, I know that you live in the community where I work, I saw with my own eyes that you spent all your family savings in order to buy high-quality jade, your own children are still waiting for milk powder to drink, and your husband also works overtime every day and night to make money for you, but what do you want to ask for with jade?" Young and pretty! Stay young forever! It's true that the Archmage has done it for you, but he also said that you have to take the Dharma every month, otherwise you will grow old quickly-I can hear it clearly in front of you, is it worth it for you to make a warm and happy family like this?! β
The pretty girl lowered her head, as if she hadn't been moved, but her face was already red.
"And then you-" The little security guard pointed to the sister-in-law Tang who was holding the child, "I saw that you were holding the lottery ticket all day and night, and you did win a lot, but you don't remember what the archmage said at that time?" β
Sister-in-law Tang clutched the lottery ticket in her hand tightly, as if she was reluctant to throw it away, and the child was strangled by her unconsciously, and cried again.
"The archmage asked you to pay tribute to the best jade every month, otherwise you will lose all your wealth and go bankrupt!" The little security guard said, "I heard it right! β
"IβI can use the money I won to collect the jade and pay it to the mage." Sister-in-law Tang said timidly.
"Then I won the lottery, I bought jade, I paid tribute, and again... January and month, year after year, when the good jade in our jade county has been collected, you go to other places, and when the surrounding places are gone, then go to the whole country..."The little security guard said hatefully, "Just like that Guo Boss, since he got the first pot of gold, he began to recycle it vigorously, whether it is jade or rough stone, anyway, he makes a lot of money, collects more jade, and asks for more and more wishes, yes, he is now developed, and can even afford to hire bodyguards and thugs to take care of the home, but one day he can't collect the gems, what should he do?" Waiting to be ruined? Waiting to sleep on the streets? β
As soon as the little security guard said this, Brother Mu finally understood, it turned out that the big slogans "Collect raw stones and jade at high prices" were posted everywhere in Yuxian County, which was actually made by Boss Guo, and Jin Jiazi also handed over a newspaper behind him at this time: "Lao Mu, I haven't had time for you, you take a look at this first." β
The first page of the newspaper was actually a whole advertising page, on which was still the advertising slogan of the acquisition of jade rough, and a large photo was printed next to it, it was Guo Boss, and a line of small characters was written below, Guo Zong, the county's upstart, to pay tribute to the people of Yu County.
The words of the little security guard made Sister-in-law Tang bow her head silently, she gently stroked the little face of the child in her arms, and a tear dripped down.
"The most infuriating thing is you!" The little security guard turned his fingertips and pointed at Liu Daji, who was standing not far away... (To be continued......)
