Chapter 25: The Money Crisis
We walked behind Kai Min, and as he walked, he said excitedly: "It's a coincidence, I happen to have a Tianshan Snow Lotus here, which is exactly five years old. In fact, I don't understand, this snow lotus was brought by my uncle, he told me, the thousand-year-old snow lotus mentioned in the martial arts novel, is purely deceptive, this snow lotus has grown to five years, it is already the most beautiful year in life, and then it grows, it will be old, wooden, where can it be used in medicine? ”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at me and Miscellaneous Xiaodao, a little puzzled, and said two, have we met somewhere?
I and Miscellaneous Xiaodao looked at each other carefully, the two of us, together are worth 400,000, but we dare not leak the news, Miscellaneous Xiaodao smiled, and replied with a thick Trump, saying Ghost knows, Lao Lin I have a public face, I have been running around in Qianyu in northern Sichuan for the past two years, I can't say where I have seen it?
Kai Min said, oh, I work as a waiter in a hot pot restaurant in Yucheng, maybe we met there, the two eldest brothers, they still look quite distinctive.
When he said this, our hearts relaxed, this young man, he is close to us, in fact, it is also a means for merchants to bargain, and the conversation is hot, and the price or something is easy to discuss. We crossed the crowd of stalls, came to the most central stall in the west, only to see a girl wearing a cheap down jacket is sitting with two broken bricks, the stall, the down jacket color difference is very large, obviously the tail warehouse goods, and the girl's face is a little plateau red, but the person is quite delicate, and the eyes also have a deep clearness in the world.
I like these eyes very much, the simplicity in them reminds me of Xiaomei, who has been dead for a long time - I have been reminiscing about the past in my dreams recently, and I don't know if Lu Dao is a life of escape, so I can't help but miss the good old days.
I'm a person who rarely gets sad, but since I've been on the run, family, friends, acquaintances, and some of my past have increasingly taken over most of my thoughts...... Well, I don't know what I'm expressing, too delicate feelings are said over and over again, which makes people criticize, it's just that when the feelings we are used to, the people and things we are used to, and everything in life, are about to leave me, I can't help but miss it, and I can't help but think about it......
The desolation of the end of the world - but even so, the miscellaneous trail resolutely accompanied me through these days.
In front of this red-faced girl, I saw the five-year snow lotus we have been looking for, this thing looks white from a distance, like jade, close to see, both hands are as big, densely covered with white long hair, the head inflorescence is many, dense, showing a perfect lotus shape, look at the stem, and the tiger cat is exactly the same as we described, and the person who picks it is very knowledgeable, so the medicinal properties of this snow lotus have been completely preserved.
If this snow lotus is used as a medicine guide, I am afraid that this yang poison on my body will be suppressed for two months, and it will not be disturbed.
In the past two months, we have long since escaped from the border and walked in the reckless forests of Southeast Asia. At that time, the sea is wide and the fish can leap, the sky is high and the birds can fly, we have a lot of time and experience to study this disease in my body, I don't believe that the strength of the tiger cat, the little demon, me and the four people of the miscellaneous hair trail can't figure out the power of Mao Tongzhen's scorching body palm.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao is a character who is good at communication, but in fact, he is just a fool, and he chatted with Kaimin for most of the day, but he didn't get to the point. I'm not in a hurry, buy something, if you care too much, a hundred yuan of things, others can shout to you for a thousand, so I slowly watched the two of them talk nonsense on the side.
After talking for a long time, the Yi young man Kai Min finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said two, this big brother, since we have such a pleasant chat, then this Snow Lotus, you will make a price, if it is suitable, give it to you, and make a friend!
Miscellaneous hair Xiaodao didn't take this stubble, he smiled, and said where, in this world, where is the reason for buyers to shout prices, little brother, you first tell me how much you are going to sell, brother, I have a good psychological preparation, see if I want to buy it?
Kai Min clapped his hands and said Big brother, this snow lotus is actually what my uncle is going to treat my grandfather for rheumatism, but now the family is in urgent need of money, so he sold it. As for how much to sell? I'll tell you a real price for this, if this thing is to be sold in the market, it can be sold for 50,000 yuan, but I'm really in a hurry, so I'll sell it for 35,000, this money is used to save my sister's life, it's really a lot. If the two of you really want it, make a deal!
I interjected next to me, changing my voice, and said Isn't your sister a good one? Where do you need to get money to save your life?
Kaimin saw us look at the red-faced girl next to us and said Hey, you're mistaken, she's my friend, the friend I just introduced to the family, and she came to sell things with me. She's not my sister......
As he spoke, the red-faced girl's pocket suddenly rang with chords, and she pulled out her phone, which was very old Nokia, the blue screen kind. She answered the phone, said a few words in a hurry, her face changed drastically, and then hung up. Seeing this, Kai Min hurriedly asked Sun Jing, what's wrong? The red-faced girl Sun Jing told Kaimin in a panic that her aunt had entered the police station, and she didn't know what was going on, and the family had just gotten the news, and then thought that she was in the county, so she asked her to look for it and ask what was going on.
Sun Jing packed up her things and prepared to leave, Kai Min was very concerned about this new object, and she was also anxious, and was busy urging us, saying two big brothers, what I said is the truth, you see if you want to-if you want, we will trade now, you see that I also have urgent matters here, so I won't say it again.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao touched his nose and was a little silent. He just gave our remaining 5,000 yuan to the old woman who was fishing for swill at the door of the hotel, this behavior naturally couldn't bear to see the old man suffer, but he also tossed our runaway fund to the end, where is there still 35,000, to buy this just right snow lotus medicine?
He frowned, and he didn't know how to say this, and Kai Min saw that the girlfriend he had just played was about to leave, so he couldn't help but gather up, and hurriedly explained to us, saying two big brothers, I told the truth, these 35,000 are used to save my sister's life, do you want it, if you don't, I will make a car tomorrow and sell it in the city?
I pursed my lips and said so, little brother, I see that you are also busy with things here, and we don't have so much money in our hands. You leave a phone call for us, and tomorrow, we take the money and call you, okay?
Kayin said okay, so be it. After speaking, he hurriedly copied the mobile phone number to us, then cleaned up the stall, followed Sun Jing's ass, and ran away. I looked at the miscellaneous hair and smiled bitterly, and said Boss Xiao, you are generous, then tell me, what should we do now? Miscellaneous Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, and said What's the matter, even if we didn't give the old woman four thousand yuan, we wouldn't have enough money - you feel distressed about giving that money to others?
I shrugged my shoulders and said that we have known each other for so long, you can say this, and to be honest, I can't see such a poor old man, you are doing the right thing. On weekdays, we have to do more to help others. But my question is, where are we now, going to get those thirty-five thousand?
Miscellaneous Xiaodao groaned for a while, and said cautiously, "Or...... Let's go back to our old business and set up a fortune teller, shall we? ”
I laughed at him angrily, I can say it, just your little trick to run away, there is a thick pile on other people's files, as long as you put this stall on the street, and you can't keep it for ten minutes, someone will catch you into the bureau, believe it or not? Miscellaneous Xiaodao sighed and said According to what you say, why don't we contact Jian Si and ask her to send us a little money, so that we can respond to emergencies? I said that you are even more unreliable, our matter has been released, Mao Jin's affairs may have been sealed a long time ago, a bunch of people are staring at it, fight back, won't we be directly exposed? When the money arrived, a bunch of pursuers arrived.
Seeing that I vetoed his two proposals in a row, Miscellaneous Xiaodao suddenly became angry, and said According to what you say, then our righteous way will not be able to get money, or we will steal some money, or we will directly steal the medicine that kid has at hand!
I pinched my nose and felt uncomfortable, and said, "Oh my brother, those guys are waiting for us to get these things out, so that I can know where we are; Moreover, people made it very clear that the medicine was used to save the life of our sister, if we stole other people's medicine and couldn't save our life, then wouldn't we be killing people? Who bears this cause and effect?
Miscellaneous Xiaodao rolled his eyes and said that this is not good, that is not good, so what can you do, let's listen to it?
I touched my forehead and said that I don't know what to do, so go back first and ask the tiger cat, is the effect okay with the most common dried snow lotus in the pharmacy? If you can delay a little time, you can delay a little time, and you can't do those immoral things. Also, we have to think about how to earn the funds to run to the border, relying on this 1,000 yuan, we are really a little hanging.
However, the two of us discussed money and discussed money, and we didn't feel at all that it was irrational to give most of the money to the old woman.
The one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, maybe this is the most important reason why the two of us can come together.
The so-called friends, isn't the most important thing to be like-minded, and then add the same values?
At five o'clock in winter, it was a little dark, and we two poor ghosts walked back to the hotel, but when we opened the door, we found that there was one more person in the room in addition to the little demon, Duoduo and the tiger cat.
