"Did anyone bring it?"

In a dimly lit adobe room, an oil lamp lit up by a bean and a man sitting behind a curtain of reeds with a discernible face asked.

Soon a voice came from outside the house, "Master, someone has brought it here." ”

"Call someone in!" The man in the room spoke again.

After a while, the footsteps of many people outside the house were heard, and the dilapidated door creaked and was pushed open, and a little old man was pushed in.

The little old man had a frightened look on his face, but his eyes searched for the figure in the house.

"Did you bring anything?"

"This man, things are in my head." The little old man had a pair of hands that were very different from the skin color of his body, and he pointed to his head and said.

The man sitting behind the reed curtain had no objection to this, and said, "As long as the thing is true, what should be given to you, it will be given to you!" ”

"This old man, the little old man came here to do this headless business for the sake of money, if you let the little old man see something affordable, the little old man will naturally not say a way." The little old man shrank up, and the words that came out of his mouth were relatively hard.

"Humph! It's just an old dog that can't be fed. ”

Facing the scolding of the old man in the house, the little old man who entered the house shrank again, still a little afraid.

"Put things out and show him." The mysterious man sitting behind the reed shouted outside.

The dilapidated door of the adobe house creaked open again, and a strong man walked in with a clanging baggage.

When the little old man saw the strong man come in, although he was greedy for the package on the strong man's body, the whole person took several steps back and distanced himself from the strong man.

The strong man threw the package on the table, and the oil lamps on the table were shaken, and the candles in the room were jumped.

By the time the candle flame stabilized, the strong man had already opened the furoshiki and lifted the last layer of furoshiki that covered the objects inside the furoshi.

The golden light lit up the room at once.

Under the intensification of the light, the man sitting behind the reed curtain was even a little blurred at this moment.

Seeing the gold placed in the baggage on the table, the little old man's eyes widened, his hands rubbed, and he involuntarily walked forward.

"Humph!"

The strong man snorted coldly, and then the little old man was pulled back to reality.

"This lord, please forgive your sins! The little old man has no knowledge, he has never seen gold, he has to check the authenticity, otherwise the little old man is not at ease! ”

"What nonsense! Can my lord still lie to you? The strong man standing in front of the table was a little unhappy with the little old man's approach, and said unhappily.

"Let him see! As long as the things can be handed over, they are his. ”

Hearing the man behind the reed curtain say this, the strong man glanced at the little old man and stepped aside.

The little old man clasped his fists again and again at the reed curtain, and smiled at the strong man with yellow teeth, and then leaned over.

Grabbing the first ingot of gold in the baggage, the little old man opened his mouth and bit it.

'Shhhhhh

The little old man hissed in his mouth, feeling a little sweet bite.

took out the gold ingot that he was biting in his mouth, and several shallow tooth marks appeared on the gold ingot.

The little old man giggled, reluctant to let go.

"Bring it to you!" Seeing that the little old man was holding the gold ingot, the strong man grabbed it directly, threw it back into the baggage, and the little old man was also pushed away by him.

The little old man looked at the gold ingots that were close at hand, and then at the figure behind the reed curtain, and after his face struggled for a few minutes, he raised his head for the first time.

"This lord, gold, I want one hundred and fifty taels! I've got to save more money for my youngest son to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

When the strong man heard this, he was furious, and when he was about to make a move on the little old man, there was a laugh of "hahaha" from behind the reed curtain.

"Insatiable! You old dog! ”

"This master, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! If it weren't for a few small ones in the family, the little old man wouldn't have taken such a big risk! ”

"After all, in the future, Xiao Lao'er's family will have to leave their homeland, go away from home, never come back, die elsewhere, and can't enter the ancestral grave."

The little old man's voice was a little crying, but it couldn't hide his greedy nature.

"One hundred and fifty taels of gold, sir, I'll give it! But sir, I hate people who don't speak of trust the most! ”

When the little old man, who was still thinking of making a temporary stroke, heard this, he was full of excitement, and immediately waved his hand and said, "I won't give you a way!" I'll go now! I don't want gold anymore! ”

How could the strong man let the little old man go, grabbed him by the collar, and threw it directly to the ground, like carrying a dry chicken and throwing it to the ground.

The reed curtain was lifted, and the man who had been sitting in it finally revealed his true face.

"You... You..."

Apparently the little old man knew this man.

The person who came out of the darkness was none other than Nanfang Nishiki.

When he saw that the little old man recognized him, he smiled wickedly, and did not speak, but it was more useful than anything else.

When the little old man saw that the person behind the scenes turned out to be Nanfang Jin, he realized it later, no wonder someone was willing to use such a large price to buy a new papermaking method.

"Nanda shopkeeper, the little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you just let the little old man be a fart! I would never say it. ”

Nanfang Jin laughed, at this time, this old thing was still thinking about threatening him!

"You won't say it? Ha ha! Amusing! It's ridiculous! I just need to tell Liu Che about the things you have seen me, do you think Liu Che can still keep you? ”

Nanfang Jin's words made the little old man's face look like ashes.

Eat inside and out, who can spare him?

"Scared? What about that kind of greed just now? Why is it gone? Nanfang Jin stretched out his hand and slapped the little old man's face and asked word by word.

The little old man woke up violently, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Nanfang Jin, with so much force that blood was already seen on his forehead after a few strokes.

"Nanda shopkeeper, you are gracious! You're gracious! ”

Nanfang Jin didn't look at him, sat down on the chair by himself, reached out and picked up the gold ingot that had been bitten by the little old man, looked left and right for a few minutes, and let go of the gold ingot and let it fall back into the burden.

"Now you have two paths! The first is to tell Liu Che how to make rice paper, 1510, the master will give you 30 taels of gold, and let you leave Lin'an City with your family..."

Nanfang Jin said the first method and paused deliberately.

Sure enough, I saw the little old man who was kowtowing pricked up his ears, waiting to listen to the second way.

"Two! I'll let you go..."

The little old man's face was happy.

"I'll ask someone to spread the news of tonight to Liu Che's ears."

The joy on the little old man's face had not yet been opened, and it was frozen.

Second, where is the way to live!

It's clearly a dead end!

"Which one do you choose?" Nanfang Jin is like a judge who controls the life and death of people, and asked from above.

Xiao Lao'er's face was miserable, he was obviously able to earn a hundred taels of gold, but now because of his own greed, it directly became thirty taels!

Even if you don't choose the right one, you have to take a life!

"The shopkeeper of Nanda, does the little old man still have a choice?"

"Haha... You must have heard a saying, that is called the person who knows the times is a handsome! Nanfang Jin patted the cheongsan on his body and got up on the table.

"Take him down."
