Chapter 1: A Sense of Understanding
"Well, since you promised to give me three thousand taels of silver, after the deed is done, if you all leave, who shall I ask for the three thousand taels from?"
"What do you want?" asked him, seemingly holding back a lot of anger.
"At least, when I finish these things, you can guarantee that I will get the money!" Zhang Shan said resolutely, "After all, it is not easy for me to open such a dog meat factory, if these two people are poisoned by me tonight, I think, from now on, my dog meat factory will not want to do any more, then what will I rely on to make a living in the future! Therefore, you should also compensate a little bit for my unemployment expenses in the future." ”
"And how much money do you want?"
"Six thousand taels. ”
"Six thousand taels!" exclaimed the man with the knife.
"Yes, six thousand taels!" Zhang Shan said, "Three thousand taels is what they owe me, and I deserve it! As for the other three thousand taels, which is the huge loss caused by my killing them, my demand is not too high, nor is it excessive, at least I must be compensated with three thousand taels of silver!"
"In other words, it's six thousand taels in total, right?"
"Yes!"
"You're going to rob the money!" said immediately, the man who had put the knife on his neck again angrily.
"Don't make a noise! And the short man in front of Zhang Shan eagerly interrupted the man's speech in an absolutely authoritative tone, "Now, we have promised you everything, you go!"
"No!" Zhang Shan still said reluctantly, "Later, if you all run away, where can I go to you to ask for money?"
Suddenly, the man with a short body stepped forward, pinched Zhang Shan's neck with his hand, lifted him up, lifted him off the ground, and said sentence by sentence:
"You know what? My patience has a limit, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it, otherwise, I will strangle you to death like this!"
Seeing that the other party was angry, it seemed to be ten times more ferocious than a bear, Zhang Shan was very scared, but the most painful thing in front of him was not fear, but difficulty breathing, therefore, his feet struggled unwillingly, but it was useless, the ground seemed to be ten thousand feet deep from his toes, and he couldn't touch it. Just as he was about to faint, the man put him down and asked viciously:
"How's it going, do you want to go now?"
Who knows, Zhang Shan didn't think so, it seemed that he had completely seen the other party's soft and hard tricks, he rubbed his choked neck, coughed twice, and suddenly raised his head and said:
"If you don't go, you won't get the money, even if you kill me, I won't go! I won't get the money, and there will be no place for the future, so what's the point of living? It's better to be killed by you with a knife, and it will be more enjoyable!"
"What a scoundrel you are!" the man with the knife in his hand became angry again, and raised his knife and was about to cut it off his head, but was stopped by the short man:
"Stop!"
Then the short man suddenly smiled and said:
"After the matter is completed, you go to the Full Moon Inn and find the withdrawal of the account room!"
"Is it Cui Sanye's Full Moon Inn?"
"Yes. Then the dwarf man said, "Now you can do what you are happy to do."
"Not yet!"
"What's the matter again!" This time, even Zhang Shan felt it, and the other party was so upset that he wanted to go crazy.
"Because, there is no basis for my words, and the bookkeeper doesn't know me, how can I withdraw so much money from him!"
Hearing his words, the other party suddenly leaned his face close to him, and looked at him quietly with the anger of sucking blood and grinding his teeth, and it took a long time to squeeze out these words from between his teeth:
"You just say, Yang Xin, the head of the Five Mountains, asked you to come!"
This time, Zhang Shan also felt that his words were unquestionable, so he finally said this:
"Okay, then I'll go now!"
He held up the packet of powder in his hand again and said:
"Are you sure you can mix ten catties of wine!"
"I'm sure. The other party's tone was suddenly much happier, and warned him, "If you dare to play tricks, I will turn you and your dog meat shop into a pile of ashes!"
"Don't worry!" Zhang Shan said as he walked towards the back door, "This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I don't need you to remind me!"
With a squeak, the back door was opened, and Zhang Shan walked in, and then he closed the back door again.
"Big brother, are you sure he will really do this?" asked Yang Xin, the man with the knife.
"Don't you see, he wants to kill Wu Shuang more than we do?"
"And he still seems to be a man with an eye for money!"
"Such a person has always been a person who only looks at money and does not look at love!"
"In other words, he won't let us down!"
"Yes!"
The night was getting deeper, there was not even a star in the sky, and the cold wind was like yin air blowing from the tomb, shaking the bare branches and making a hoarse roar; Zhang Shan's kitchen suddenly turned on the light, it was he cooking dog meat for his long-lost good friend Wu Shuang.
There is a new harvest of dry firewood in the autumn this year, burning, the fire is monstrous, and soon a pot of dog meat is cooked out of the fragrance, after all, this is still cooked dog meat for visitors, just add some condiments, back to the pot is good.
The dog meat was brought to the table, and Wu Shuang and She Gang's stomachs were already gurgling! Moreover, the ten catties and a jar of good wine had also been placed on the table, but Wu Shuang's eyes stared at this jar of good wine for a quarter of an hour, as if a cat had seen it, and the fish swimming in the water looked attentive; and it was as if it was a young man with strong blood, and when he saw it, the charming female neighbor next door walked towards him naked, and his heart was pounding and he was fascinated; but it was also as if he remembered many, many past events!
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Shan asked him with a smile, and placed the bowls in front of them one by one.
"Look what kind of good wine this is!" Wu Shuang said, his words were very serious, and he seemed very serious.
"What else do you see?" Zhang Shan asked again.
"It seems to have seen the past between us, as if it was just yesterday!"
"Good, you see a lot of things!"
"Don't hurry up and drink!" She just saw the wine and dog meat, and was full of appetite, and was about to grab the wine jar to sift the wine.
However, Zhang Shan looked at Wu Shuang and smiled and said:
"Does this friend of yours drink too?"
Wu Shuang, looking at the wine, and then at She Gang's impatient expression, so he snatched the wine jar and put it in front of him, and looked at Zhang Shan's eyes seriously and said:
"Of course he drinks, and he's a good drinker!"
She Gang, seeing the two of them old friends, talking back and forth, and mother-in-law and mother talking a lot, felt strange and funny, and was still very puzzled, because although the two of them were also smiling when they spoke, the serious atmosphere was stronger than the joyful atmosphere.
"Hurry up and start drinking and eating meat!" She Gang finally couldn't help but say.
"You can't drink!" he suddenly heard the owner say to him, "such a strong wine, drinking it will make it difficult for your wounds to heal!"
"Then I ......" She Gang was full of grievances, and asked hesitantly, "what should I do!"
"Eat dog meat!" This time Zhang Shan replied quickly, as if he was reluctant to let She Gang drink his good wine in the first place.
She Gang looked at the faces of the two of them, and then looked at the greedy wine, and finally his eyes fell on the steaming large piece of dog meat, and suddenly he grabbed a large piece of dog meat with one hand, and muttered with a very dissatisfied expression:
"Eat meat, eat meat!"
"Then let's drink now?" Wu Shuang asked as he looked at Zhang Shan.
Zhang San nodded, but said very seriously:
"Let's drink now!"
So, Wu Shuangjiang had already slapped open the lid of the mud-sealed wine jar, and was about to pour wine into his bowl, but Zhang Shan suddenly said:
"Why don't you give your old friend the first arrival?" As he spoke, he had already grabbed a large piece of dog meat from the basin like She Gang and put it in his mouth to eat.
When Wu Shuang heard him say this, he stopped, he looked at Zhang Shan with a very strange expression, as if he was still looking at the long-lost friend in front of him with endless memories, and suddenly he said:
"By the way, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach, we should all eat some meat first. ”
Zhang Shan nodded, smiled and said:
"It seems that you have finally remembered my good habits in the past!" This is also the warmest smile Zhang Shan expressed to Wu Shuang tonight.
She Gang no longer paid attention to the strange words of their two old friends, he just buried his head in eating meat, firstly, the dog meat made by Zhang Shan was indeed so delicious that there was nothing to say, and secondly, he was also a little dissatisfied that he did not drink alcohol tonight.
Therefore, a large pot of dog meat was quickly eaten shallowly, and then Zhang Shan suddenly said:
"Now that my stomach is half full, I think I can drink some wine?"
"Absolutely!"
"Whoever you're going to pour this time first!"
"Of course, it's for you to pour first!"
"I agree!" (To be continued.) )
