Looking at the 10,000 taels of silver they earned in their hands, Lao Wu's anger gradually became red.

For them, this money is like a mountain of gold that suddenly falls from the sky and throws it in front of them.

The brothers divided the money equally and had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but Lao Da became addicted to gambling, and the money was finally lost.

Lao Er took it to build a house and took his daughter-in-law, and soon saw the bottom.

Lao San and Lao Si took it to spend all day drinking, and they couldn't make ends meet. Lao Wu didn't get a penny, and he regretted it.

Money is spent day by day, and they can only sit and eat.

So he lived the familiar life of poverty again.

But who wants to live a poor life when they are used to living a good life?

The brothers discussed to catch the merman, but this merman was not easy to find. They searched for more than half a year but did not find it, and even pretended to drown and fell into the water with their own risks, but there was no trace of the merman.

"What should I do, big brother, if this merman doesn't show up, we can't do anything at all."

Not only the four of them were in a hurry, but Lao Da was also in a hurry, and if this continued, he would be about to be found at home by the people who were chasing debts.

He still owes a hundred taels of silver to the gambling house, where should he find it!

Lao Er, who had been basking on the reef for a day, couldn't help but hum: "Since you can't find it, don't look for it, a few of us can be regarded as making a windfall, but you don't cherish it and have to take it to spend time and wine." ”

Among all the brothers, Lao Er had the best life, built a house and married a daughter-in-law.

is not as unmotivated as them, and he also found a job in the town, which was found through his mother's connections. Although his life is not nourishing now, it can be regarded as complete.

When everyone heard him say such things, they were immediately unhappy.

"I think you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, don't forget what your mother said, our brothers are blessed and enjoy hardships together, and now everyone has no money, just live a good life for you, otherwise you borrow some money to spend flowers on your brothers?"

Lao Er became angry when he heard this, "Where do I have money?" It's obvious that you are spending money indiscriminately, and in the end you still want to find me! ”

The brothers pushed, and Lao Er fell into the water with an unsteady foot. "Bah, you're really ruthless." He cursed and immediately rose out of the water.

The four brothers on the shore suddenly fell silent and stared straight behind him.

"What's wrong? Something behind my back? His back was cold, and when he turned around, it was actually a shark!

I saw that the merman-like body was hidden in the water, and it looked at a few people vigilantly, but it couldn't help but get closer.

Everyone held their breath for fear of scaring the merman away.

Lao Er remained motionless in the water, thinking about how to catch it ashore.

After a while, I saw the merman slowly swim towards Lao Er and sniff beside him.

Lao Er subconsciously dodged to the side, and a white round bead fell out of his chest.

Lao Er took it in his hand and thought that he had obtained this bead when the brothers had divided the spoils.

I haven't worn this dress for a long time, and I actually forgot that there is a shark pearl in it!

The merman's eyes are rare blue, like beautiful glass beads. I saw that its eyes were staring directly at the beads in the second hand, and its nose sniffed it, and then tears flowed.

Its tears snapped and fell into the water one by one like pearls.

Lao Er hurriedly went to pick it up.

Its mouth opened slightly, and it spoke quickly, squeaking and not knowing what it was saying.

When he heard this, he seemed to recognize it as his companion.

"Do you want to see it?"

The mermaid nodded.

Several people looked at each other and tricked it ashore.

In the same way, the five brothers grabbed its hands and tail.

The scorching sun shines on the reef like a hot oil pot, and the mermaid is like a fish being fried.

It struggled to the death, but the merman who left the water was like a fish without water, and soon lost its strength.

This time, the Lao brothers did not kill the merman immediately, but forced it to summon its companions.

It's like a legal cannon, tricking its companions one by one.

Ten were caught at once.

In the face of the sudden wealth of the Lao brothers, the surrounding villagers are red-eyed, and if they can't get a piece of the pie, they will be driven out of Linglong Ruins.

So, the Lao brothers somehow came up with the Dragon King Sacrifice and put a dying merman in the sea water to lure more mermaids out.

The fishermen who participated in the dragon king festival worked together to subdue them.

In the end, under the encirclement and suppression of everyone, the sharks who were caught were divided on the spot.

They were cut into thousands of pieces with knives, some of them were kept in their own homes, some were sold to other merchants, and some of them were like the Lao brothers.

Trying to attract their companions with mutilated mermaid flesh, one or two were lucky enough to catch them, but now they are catching mermaids more and more frequently, and I don't know if they have been caught by them, or if the mermen have learned to be smart.

No matter what happens now, I can't force the merman.

The five brothers of the Lao family tried various methods, but even Shark Zhu couldn't attract them. At first, I tried to force them to scream and call out their companions with their voices, but over time, the mermen were so strong that they would rather bite off their tongues than listen to them.

The Dragon King Festival has been held for ten years now, but in the past three years, there have been no mermaids who have taken the bait.

If nothing else, perhaps, this is already the last merman.

In addition to feeling pity, the Lao brothers are more relaxed.

Because they've earned enough money to spend it in ten lifetimes.

They squeezed the merman to the point that there was not a drop left, and it was not just used to make bone bracelets and inextinguishable lamps.

Even the hair, nails, eyeballs, scales, and skin are not spared.

Everywhere on them is money.

The greedy Lao Si was no longer satisfied with selling these treasures in Lianyun City, but even sold his reputation outside the city.

Wealthy businessmen came here, and they offered a price ten times higher than before, and not only that, but also in short supply.

The money they earned was exchanged for gold nuggets piled up all over the house, and they had earned enough, even if it was a gold basin to wash their hands, it was not a pity.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel, everyone is a brother, and you can divide it as you said at the beginning."

Lao Da was the first to stand up and speak, and since the eldest brother had already spoken, they no longer continued to argue.

Lao Si took Ximen Zhong and Zhao Yuanling out of the cave, and he counted all the goods bought by the fat man.

"A total of 200,000 taels of silver."

He nodded his head from the side, the smile on his lips was about to reach the root of his ears, this money should be the last big account before they washed their hands.

With this money, the brothers can sit back and live a fairy life with peace of mind!

Zhao Yuanling gasped when he heard it on the side.

200,000 taels of silver, even a prince can't easily take out so much.

However, these silver taels seemed to be just numbers, and they did not make any waves in Ximen Zhong's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he let him carry it onto the ship.

"Then how do you think the money should be settled?"

"You take my token, any one of the accounts in the city, and they can exchange the money." As he spoke, Ximen Zhong's fat little hand groped around his waist.

His expression gradually became confused, "Hey, where is my token?" ”

Zhao Yuanling thought that he had handed over the token to the little guy before, so he reminded: "When you were on the boat, you seemed to have handed it over to your subordinates." ”

At this time, Ximen Zhong suddenly realized.

He said disapprerovingly: "The token is not on me yet, you ship the goods to me first, and I will let them bring the token later." ”

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Lao Si's face changed suddenly.

The corners of his mouth immediately turned into a hideous and terrifying face.

His eyes showed a fierce look, "If you don't have money, you dare to come here to entertain Lao Tzu?" ”

"No, no, it's not that I don't have money, I don't believe you ask her, I did drop the token before I got on the boat."

Zhao Yuanling nodded and testified for him.

"Bah, I don't care if you order him or not, if you don't hand him over now, none of you will want to leave this island!"

"Why are you unreasonable? Who went out with so many silver taels? Otherwise, you can let me out first, and I'll bring the token and then take these goods away, so it's all right! ”

Lao Si snorted coldly, "You think it's beautiful, how much time did I spend on you, and how many guests did I push away?" When the time comes, you run away without saying a word, who am I going to reason with? ”

As he spoke, he glanced around, and there was already a circle of fishermen dressed in cloth clothes, all of whom looked fierce.

It seems that they ate the overlord meal and didn't pay.

Zhao Yuan was inspired to see that something was wrong, and she took the lead in walking out, "I have already given the money for the incense candle, I have nothing to do with him, can you let me go first?" ”

"Sister Beauty, how can you leave me?" Ximen Zhong looked at her in surprise, with an incredulous expression.

Zhao Yuanling whispered beside him: "Don't worry, I'll help you find a little girl." ”

Listening, Ximen Zhongcai wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and said hello. His voice trembled: "You have to find someone quickly, I'm a thin skin and tender meat, I'm afraid they will beat me......"

Zhao Yuanling glanced at the fat on his body, even if he was beaten at this tonnage, there was fat in the way, and it was estimated that he would be able to last for a while.

Then what she thought was too simple, and Lao Si wouldn't let anyone go at all.

Even if you take out all the valuable things on your body, you won't let people go without taking a penny with you.

They were locked up in the same room as the mermaids, and now it is more appropriate to call them dungeons.

"Treat me well, I don't care if you are the son of the lord of the city or the grandson of the lord of the city, and you don't want to leave until he comes to redeem you.

He didn't believe that Ximen Zhong had anything to do with the city lord, after all, if such a big man came to Linglong Ruins, they would definitely get the news in advance.

Ximen Zhong struggled and said: "I am really the son of the city lord, I originally had a token on me, I took it for the little servant, the previous boatman and the man who brought me can see it, you can go and ask them, I really didn't play tricks on you." ”

Lao Si snorted, looking annoyed, "Didn't bring an entourage or a token?" I think you think I don't have a brain. ”
