Chapter Fifty-Six: Happy Cooperation

Sun Wukong frowned again and said, "Which one else is not counted?"

Du Shenfei said: "This item is the cost of sending 800 people back to Tanzhou from here. ”

Sun Wukong asked: "So, how much silver do you think should be needed for this expense?" ”

Du Shenfei pondered for a moment and said, "It takes at least five thousand taels." ”

As soon as Du Shenfei's words fell, he stared at Huang Chujiu and said, "Brother Jiu, this matter is very likely to trouble you." You see, we'll pay another 5,000 taels of silver to the Sand Boat Gang. Just ask Brother Jiu to help, send a few boats, and just wait for tomorrow to send those who are willing to go back by themselves, and then follow the Yangtze River, cross Dongting Lake, and send others to Tanzhou, how about it?"

Huang Chujiu waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem to send them to Tanzhou." It's just that I can't go tomorrow. ”

Du Shenfei was surprised: "Why can't you go tomorrow?"

Huang Chujiu said: "Not only can't it be tomorrow, but also, in the past ten days, it won't work." Neither can you arrange for people in the vicinity to go back, nor can you escort them to Tanzhou. ”

Du Shenfei thought for a moment before asking, "Isn't Brother Jiu worried that he will be discovered by the Eagle's Nest Emperor's Mansion and find out the truth?"

Huang Chujiu said: "Exactly! Our action in the Old Man Temple last night caused heavy losses to the Eagle's Nest Imperial Mansion. In the next few days, they will inevitably send people to investigate the situation. In this way, there will be a wide range of eyeliners in this Poyang Lake and on the Yangtze River to check the passing ships. If we leave tomorrow, and meet their people, won't we fall into the net?"

When the fish coaxed the fairy heard this, he thought it was true, and said, "Brother Jiu is reasonable. It's better to spend ten days and half a month, and wait for the wind to pass before leaving, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

Du Shenfei nodded.

Yu coaxed the fairy and said: "Since we want these eight hundred people to stay in this place for ten days and half a month, then it will cost money to eat and drink, so we will set aside another thousand taels of silver for the Sha Boat Gang as the food and lodging expenses for these people." ”

No one objected to this view of the fish coaxing fairy.

So, Du Shenfei looked at Sun Wukong and said, "In addition to these expenses, the 230,000 taels of silver, as well as 169,000 taels, will be divided equally among the fifteen of us." In this case, the four of you will receive forty-five thousand taels. But I don't know, do you have any opinions?"

This amount is already 5,000 taels more than Sun Wukong expected, so it is enough to satisfy them.

So, Sun Wukong and the others agreed, and they got their due silver taels that night, and left the very secret stronghold of the Shachuan Gang while the sky was not yet fully bright.

When Sun Wukong left, he also deliberately shook hands with Du Shenfei and Yuluxian, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation! I hope we will have a chance to cooperate next time!"

Du Shenfei also held Sun Wukong's hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Happy cooperation! I believe that we will definitely have opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

As soon as Sun Wukong and the other four people left, Du Shenfei called a lot of money and the house to count the number of these banknotes, divided 21,000 taels to Huang Chujiu, and then distributed the silver taels to Xiong Hu and his wife, as well as Feng Muyang and Wei Zhuangshi.

These four people, except for Xiong Hu, who took two hundred taels of silver as expenses, Feng Muyang and Wei Zhuangshi did not want anything, and they were all left to Du Shenfei and others.

Of course, the fish coaxing fairy couldn't ask for it, and gladly accepted it.

So, when it was all bright, under Huang Chujiu's arrangement, everyone slept until the evening of the next day before waking up.

Everyone planned to wait for the wind to pass, except for Du Shenfei who went to an inn in Yuanzhou City to pick up Yang Yusi, Yang Yuyan, and Mao Ye, and everyone else took the boat of the Sand Boat Gang back to Tanzhou.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 21st.

In such a deep mountain forest, the temperature in the morning is very low. It's a little bit cooler than you might think.

The fog is also very strong. This fog is a little bit bigger than you think.

At this time, the fog is like one ghost after another, wafting in every corner of this mountain forest.

Yu Coaxing Fairy received two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk at the steward of the Sha Boat Gang, and was squatting alone under an old locust tree and slowly nibbling on it.

These two steamed buns are very hard, as hard as clods of soil frozen in ice.

The soy milk is also cold, so cold that after drinking it, people feel very cold all over the body.

Yuluxian has been nibbling on hard steamed buns for several days in a row, and has been drinking cold soy milk for several days.

In such weather, nibbling on hard steamed buns and drinking cold soy milk is really not a pleasant thing.

However, this stronghold of the Sand Boat Gang is too remote and secretive, and it is really difficult to transport grain to this place.

Moreover, in order not to be detected by the people of the Eagle's Nest Emperor's Mansion, at the suggestion of Huang Chujiu, Du Shenfei stipulated that the number of fires in this place must not exceed two times a day, and the time for each fire must not exceed half an hour, and it is strictly forbidden to light fires during the day to prevent smoke from being detected by the outside world.

After only three days, Yuluxian was completely tired of this life of hard steamed buns and cold soy milk every day.

But in order not to starve to death in this place, the fish coaxed the fairy to have no choice but to gnaw on the hard steamed buns and drink cold soy milk.

Yu Coaxing Immortal knew that his current appearance would never look good, because it was quite painful to swallow such a hard steamed bun. It's so painful that it can make you cry.

Therefore, Yu Coaxing Fairy came to the big tree alone.

No one would come to him for breakfast, because no one wanted anyone else to see how ugly they were eating.

Yuluxian had just finished chewing a steamed bun and was constantly wiping his eyes when he saw Feng Muyang walking towards him.

Now, Feng Muyang's hair, which was full of hairspray, had already become messy. His clothes, which looked spotless, were also stained with yellow mud.

At this time, Feng Muyang was holding a bowl of soy milk, but he didn't take the steamed buns.

Yu Coaxing Immortal thought that the two steamed buns that Feng Muyang deserved must have been swallowed into his stomach and turned into a lump of dung.

Feng Muyang came to the side of Yu Coaxing Immortal and also squatted down.

He drank a little bit of soy milk gently, and then his face showed a painful look, as if what he had just swallowed was not a slightly sweet soy milk, but a very strong and strong soju.

After a long time, Feng Muyang forced a smile and asked, "Brother Yu, how does this steamed bun taste?"

At this time, the fish coaxing fairy did not have the slightest interest in discussing the taste with others about this steamed bun that tasted the same as chewing wax.

Therefore, Yu Coaxing Immortal just snorted coldly, looked at Feng Muyang, and said, "This steamed bun seems to taste pretty good." Where's your two steamed buns, and are you eating them so fast?"

Feng Muyang said with a smile: "I haven't gotten my share of steamed buns yet." ”

Yu Coaxed the Immortal in surprise and said, "Then why don't you go and get it?" Could it be that you are not hungry yet?"

Feng Muyang smiled again: "Hungry, I'm a little hungry, and I'm very hungry, so hungry that my eyes are black." ”

The fish coaxed the fairy and said in surprise: "Then why don't you go and bring it to eat?"

Feng Muyang shook his head and said, "I just don't know why, I seem to have a bad appetite today, and I don't want to eat at all." ”

He paused, looked at Yu Cooxian again, and asked, "But I don't know if Brother Yu has eaten enough?"

Yu Coax Fairy casually agreed: "My food is not small, two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk are not enough." ”

Feng Muyang let out a long "oh" and said, "I heard Brother Yu just now that this steamed bun tastes good." Since Brother Yu didn't eat enough, then I'll go and bring my share now, and I don't even have to charge the friendship price, and give it to you to eat, how about it?"

Yu Coaxed Immortal shook his head again and again, and said, "This is not necessary! No need! Thank you for this kindness!"

Feng Muyang pretended to be a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Yu is not full, why do you say that you don't have to?"

Yu Coaxing Immortal frowned and said, "Do you think this steamed bun is delicious? If it is delicious, you can also make a written application and receive two more." ”

Feng Muyang shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "I just don't think it's delicious, so I don't want to eat it." He paused and said, "To be honest, this kind of steamed bun is not only not delicious, but also unpalatable." Brother Yu said that for this kind of steamed bun that even a dog doesn't gnaw, he can't swallow it at all, and it's really like swallowing a needle. ”

Yu Coaxing Immortal laughed and said, "Me too, I can't swallow it at all." This kind of steamed bun, swallow one, and eat it until Brother Yu is in tears. On weekdays, I wouldn't even look at this kind of food. ”

Feng Muyang also laughed.
