Chapter 14: The Showdown
Speaking such a large string of Chinese from the mouth of the unicorn, and it is also standard Mandarin, which is more standard than Uncle Galu's, really shocked us on the spot.
It seems that we are still too young and completely defeated by this old Jianghu. He has been hiding that he actually knows Chinese, so that it will be easier to hear the truth from our mouths.
I carefully recalled everything I said along the way, basically there was nothing to reveal my identity, and the key content, I also communicated with my companions in private, although I didn't know that he knew Chinese, but still deliberately avoided, he shouldn't know more about us. Did his ears shine open? Has the function of a downwind ear? Or the ability to spy on people's inner thoughts? It doesn't make sense.
After the unicorn finished speaking, he just stared at me with his eyes, waiting for my answer.
I was speechless for a moment, like a child caught lying and not knowing how to hide it.
The fat brother was in a hurry, he was more straightforward, and he walked over to the unicorn with his eyes glaring, and almost didn't push the unicorn squatting on the ground to sit down.
The one-horned assistant rushed over and pulled out the knife behind his back to make a gesture with the fat brother. The unicorn leaned behind him and waved his hand at his assistant, who took the knife back in anger.
The fat brother immediately realized that his actions were a bit reckless, and the current form was completely unfavorable to us. Although these two people say that they don't want to hurt people, they are still outlaws in their bones, and those who dare to compete with wild beasts still care about us two jujubes? Besides, the ability of others, just with our fists and embroidered legs, the two hits of the market hooligans are probably the same for nothing.
The fat brother changed his attitude in an instant, and used a kind of pro-buddy communication method to cover up the recklessness of the previous push, he smiled unnaturally and said, "Brother, why are you still playing with people?" I can speak Chinese, how good are we to communicate? What's hidden here? ”
Who is a one-horned person? People who can gain a foothold on a road are at least at the level of human spirits, and the fat brother's blunt attitude has changed before and after, he has long known it, but he doesn't care, he still squats on the ground, tilting his head to look at me.
My brain was racing, and I took advantage of the fat brother's procrastination to carefully analyze his words, which had several key points.
First, he knew that Su Rina and I had known each other for a long time, but he didn't know Su Rina's real name.
Second, he made it clear that he only hunted and did not hurt people.
Thirdly, he gave me a choice, either to go back with Uncle Garu, or to stay and continue with him.
First of all, he still thinks that Su Rina is his client, so he must not know that this woman with the pseudonym Sister Hong is a policeman. Secondly, he said that he didn't want to hurt anyone, and he didn't threaten us, otherwise he could have just done it, or he could have just driven us away. Moreover, since he let us choose, he must hope that we stay, and it must be helpful for him to stay if we stay.
But how can we help? Do you want us to be bait for the beast?
Since the choice is in my hands, then I will ask what I should ask and make a decision, and I think he will not be angry with me because I have too many things.
Although the two girls are on the other side of the river, the danger is very low now, it is no problem for me and the fat brother to protect ourselves, if we really work hard, we can also exchange two for one, if we can't beat us, we will run, it's a big deal to get two arrows in the buttocks, but there is still a Jiang Li by our side, and if we are distracted to protect her, it will be absolutely fatal.
I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so I could only cautiously ask, "Do you think too much?" How do you know that we have known Sister Hong for a long time? "Fortunately, I'm still relatively calm, and I still use the title of Sister Hong.
The unicorn smiled and said, "This is simple, what do you say is the most sensitive thing about hunters?" ”
The fat brother preemptively said: "Skills? ”
Unicorn shook his head.
Jiang Li walked over and said, "I feel it, I have to be as sensitive as a carnivore." She still had the heart to interject, but she didn't feel like a big disaster was coming, she was really innocent and invincible, and it wasn't a big deal to watch the excitement.
Dujiao seemed to affirm Jiang Li's answer, nodded with a smile and said: "The most sensitive thing for a hunter is the sense of smell, and the most obvious animal sign is smell. ”
I thought to myself, according to what, hunters domesticate hunting dogs because they are not qualified and their sense of smell is not good enough, but I just thought about it and didn't dare to say it, otherwise the unicorn would think that I compared him to dogs.
I asked suspiciously: "You said that we and Sister Hong have known each other for a long time, did you smell it with your nose?" ”
The unicorn nodded, and then said, "When you two first met, you gave us a play." Do you think the acting is good? After finishing the errand, if there is any smell on my body, even ordinary people can smell it, I will not be able to smell it. ”
Why do I get more disgusted the more I listen to it? It's not good to be a hunter to study cat urine and dog poop, what does it smell like after studying the room, is it perverted? But I still understand that our previous acting was purely a snake painting, and it was better to find a corner to meet quietly.
I asked the unicorn again: "Then why didn't you expose us earlier?" Hiding that you know Chinese? ”
Dujiao said: "I am afraid that things will not go smoothly and affect Galu to lead the way, without his guidance, we will not know that the waterway can enter the mountain." And you do your business, I do my business, why should I expose you? No matter what the relationship between you and Sister Hong is, it is a private matter, we are here to do official business, and we do not interfere with each other. As for Chinese, I don't want to say it, it's not that I want to hide it, there are other reasons. ”
The fat brother smiled and said, "Then what are we doing, you know it?" ”
"Of course I know that I still have some dealings with people like you who are in the treasure hunting business. It is nothing more than looking for clues to find ancient tombs, or the crypts where the ancients buried their treasures, and make a windfall. I'm afraid it's the first time to do it for a single gang like you, but the advantage of doing it for the first time is that you are fully prepared and will never run in vain. This trip is enough to live for a lifetime. ”
It turned out that he regarded us as tomb robbers, I did not deny it, nodded slightly to affirm his statement, and then smiled and said, "In that case, why should we stay?" Let's go our own way. ”
The unicorn smiled and said, "The choice is yours, but according to the current form, with us, you will have a better chance of success." However, judging from the skills of that little girl, a few of them may be hidden, and if we don't need our help, we can go separately now. ”
I asked, "Why are you so selfless?" What's in it for you? ”
The unicorn said: "If you laugh, you want to make money." We hunt, piggyback on your favors, you get something, those who see it have a share, see that we have a share of the hard work, reward a few, and we can be regarded as friends. The treasures that can be found in this mountain should not be ordinary things. ”
Now the form is basically clear, the unicorn didn't hurt us, he treated us as a treasure hunting team, and wanted to get a piece of the pie afterwards, and our relationship with Su Rina, as well as Su Rina's true identity, I'm afraid his nose can't smell it for the time being.
Since they want to share the money, they have indirectly reached an employment consensus, and they will definitely treat us as guests. If we choose to leave now, there is a chance that they will ignore us, so much the best. It is also possible to force us to tell the location of the treasure and get it ourselves, then we are in danger.
After thinking about it for a while, I said with a relaxed expression: "Since everyone has made it clear, then there is no need for us to leave, let's go together." ”
The unicorn smiled happily and shouted, "Okay." "I went to the campfire to see if the flower chicken was ripe, as if it was the same.
Yan Qiu and Su Rina also returned from the other side of the river after a while, and Yan Qiu picked up the tablet that I had broken and asked, "What happened?" What about Uncle Garu? ”
I told Yan Qiu in detail about what happened just now, and focused on the fact that Dujiao knew that we and Sister Hong had known each other for a long time, in order to tell Su Rina next to her, and the purpose was to tell her that her identity was not revealed. Everyone tacitly tacitly continued to perform the part that the unicorn did not find.
My heart is a lot more relaxed, at least most of the lies have been exposed by the unicorn, and those are not the point at all, no need to shy away from it, the unicorn should be completely brightened, and he doesn't need to hide any secrets, so that we also have the bottom in our hearts, and we don't need to be careful everywhere.
The one-horned assistant used a stick to pull out the chickens in the fire, and the two olive-shaped mud balls had been roasted hard. He was holding two loess eggs that were still a little hot, and when he knocked them lightly on the stone, they cracked. Pushing aside the softened leaves, a hot smell mixed with the smell of meat rose, and the aroma immediately dispersed, and even my stomach gurgled twice.
It was really delicious, fragrant and tender, everyone divided the two pheasants indiscriminately, endured the temperature of the hot lips, and began to nibble hard.
While eating me, he asked the unicorn, "What kind of animal are you going to hunt this time?" ”
Dujiao said: "I didn't have a purpose before, I caught what I saw, but now I have it." ”
