Chapter 6 Leverage
Boom!
As the heavy iron plate was overturned, a damp and moldy smell suddenly permeated the dark cellar.
Several villagers covered their noses: "Damn, such a stinky cellar can fart baby, deceitful people don't know how to make a draft in advance." ”
Wang Xiaofei's nerves were tense, and he didn't bother to pay attention to their scolding.
Although he didn't witness Lin Xiuxiu going down to the cellar just now, he saw her little hand lift the iron plate before turning around.
And the newspaper on the wall doesn't look like it's been moved.
This also means that there is a 99% chance that Lin Xiuxiu is hidden in the cellar.
In the cellar, apart from a few baskets of peaches, there were only two small iron basins, which could not hide people at all.
Unless Lin Xiuxiu took advantage of the gap just now to dig a tunnel and run out directly, he would definitely be caught.
At that time, with Zhang Lao's crooked character, he will definitely go on a rampage in anger, even if he doesn't kill Wang Xiaofei, he will have to peel off a layer of skin.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaofei's expression became more and more nervous, and cold sweat was pinched in his palms.
And just as he pondered what to do, the smell of dampness from the cellar had dissipated.
Syllable~
One of the villagers pressed the flashlight switch, looked at it and jumped straight down.
"How? Is Xiuxiu in it? Zhang Lao asked urgingly.
"No, there's just a few tattered baskets and two iron basins that look like mushrooms."
Hearing this, Zhang Laowei and several other villagers all showed suspicious looks.
"Impossible?"
"We found Lin Xiuxiu's wedding dress here just now, and we also heard the sound of someone walking on dry straw from the cellar, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?"
Liu Lao Er's eyes rolled: "You look carefully, see if there are any dark holes in the cellar, I remember that two years ago, several villagers would dig a cool pit on the side of the bottom of the cellar pit in order to prevent potatoes from sprouting." ”
"Good!"
The villagers below answered, rummaging underneath with shovels.
But after a while, he still shook his head again and again: "Second brother, except for a snake nest in this cellar, there is no dark hole, and there are a lot of dust and cobwebs. ”
"That's weird." Liu Lao Er's face was puzzled.
Just now, he saw that Wang Xiaofei was trying his best to hide it, and he was sure that Lin Xiuxiu must be hiding here, and the reason why he didn't say it was because he wanted to swallow the 10,000 yuan alone.
And he helped Wang Xiaofei say good things so that he could get a piece of the pie afterwards.
But right now, how can there be no one?
"Xiaofei, what's going on?"
Wang Xiaofei was also a little confused.
What about Lin Xiuxiu?
Obviously lifted the iron plate.
Could it be that she changed her mind and got out of the hole behind the newspaper?
But the newspaper on the wall has no signs of damage.
"What do I ask you? Where the hell did you hide Lin Xiuxiu? ”
Looking at Liu Laoer's scolding appearance, Wang Xiaofei suddenly sneered.
Although he didn't know where Lin Xiuxiu went, he was sure that he was definitely not in the shack based on the current scene.
Suddenly, the tense nerves relaxed.
After breaking free from the villagers' restraints, he sarcastically said, "I ate her, in my stomach." ”
"Cao Nima, I'm not in the mood to joke with you!"
"Cao Nima! I'm not in the mood to joke with you! I said early on that Lin Xiuxiu was not here, it was you who were chattering endlessly, and now you haven't found it, what are you angry at Lao Tzu? ”
"Xiaofei, you clean your mouth for me." Tossed in vain, Zhang Lao was also very unhappy.
But Wang Xiaofei didn't get used to him at all, and shouted at the top of his voice: "You scolded the street first, and I didn't do anything wrong, why can't I refute it?"
Be! Several of you are the village tyrants of Xiangtao Village, but you can't be so arrogant and unreasonable, right? I, Wang Xiaofei, am very poor, but I am not muddy, I am in a hurry, and I can drag two pads on my back when I die! ”
"You ......"
Zhang Lao Crooked was also a little unreasonable, glared at him angrily, and then changed his words and said: "Okay, since there is no one here, then let's go find it elsewhere." ”
Liu Lao Er and the others were very unhappy, but after all, they didn't catch the real handle, so they had to give up.
However, just as they were about to leave, Wang Xiaofei, who had taken a few glances at the cellar, suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”
"What? Conscience found out, ready to tell us Lin Xiuxiu's whereabouts? ”
"Tell a fart! You have opened the cellar and ruined my treasure, and you have to pay for it! ”
"What's in the cellar?" Zhang Lao asked crookedly at the villagers who had just gone down to the cellar.
The villager scratched his head: "It's just a few broken baskets and two iron boron mushroom-like things, nothing valuable." ”
"My baby, those two pots of mushrooms."
"Broken mushrooms are worth a few bucks, and besides, we just went down to the cellar and didn't break them for you."
"Open your eyes and look, both pots of mushrooms have been knocked over, and now it's a pile of. Also, I'm not an ordinary mushroom, it's a new mushroom that I developed, which can not only be used as an ingredient, but also has great medicinal value. ”
Wang Xiaofei didn't lie, his ancestors were all Chinese medicine practitioners.
Although his grandfather's generation was much lonely and no longer practiced medicine for a living, under the influence of those ancestral medical books, Wang Xiaofei had an incomparable understanding of medical science and pharmacology.
Especially in pharmacology, he likes to study since he was a child, and often stir-fries with medicinal herbs.
And the reason why he has been so strong all these years, and he has never caught a cold, cough or sick, is also related to these.
As for the mushrooms in the cellar, he came up with them by chance this year, and after discovering that they had extremely high medicinal value, he thought about getting them on a small scale first, and then selling them in the town when they were ripe.
Not long ago, when he went to the township to buy something, he met a boss who made medicinal food, and when he mentioned this mushroom, the boss was full of praise and immediately wanted to buy it at a high price.
But at this time, seeing that he was about to mature and be able to sell for money, he was ruined by these bastards, how could Wang Xiaofei not be angry?
But Zhang Laowei and others didn't know this, and they didn't believe that a poor son-in-law could make valuable mushrooms.
immediately mocked: "Isn't it just a bunch of broken mushrooms, I won't eat them for nothing, as for what bullshit medicinal value is even more ridiculous, this kind of mushroom, it's already very good if it doesn't poison people, and it's also medicated to cure diseases?" You poor son-in-law, you want money and want to go crazy here, right? ”
"Fart, what I said is true!" Wang Xiaofei was full of anger, but he also understood that these pharmacological knowledge and their coarse words were to play the piano to the cow.
simply changed his words and said: "And these mushrooms were cultivated by my sister-in-law and me, if you don't believe me, don't you believe her?" ”
Wang Xiaofei's sister-in-law is the village chief of Xiangtao Village.
Because he graduated from a famous university, he took the initiative to invite Ying to return to the village for development, and was very taken care of by the township government.
Usually, Zhang Lao crooked, these people don't dare to offend easily.
So when she heard that this matter had something to do with her, most of that arrogance disappeared immediately.
"It's... Is this broken mushroom really worth it? ”
"Of course!"
"That'...... How much is it worth? ”
"At least eight thousand!!"
