Although I didn't want to conflict with Zhang Kang, I still replied unhappily: "I'm here to pay back the money. It was her foul mouth that caused the trouble."
"Fuck you, do you believe I will slap you to death?" Zhang Kang walked up to me and raised his hand to slap me.
I didn't hide at that time, because I saw a hint of timidity in his eyes, and I expected that he wouldn't dare to make a move.
I think on the one hand, he's not completely healed from his injuries yet so he can't beat me, and on the other hand, he may have suffered a loss from my brother, so he stabbed him a few times for fear of making me angry, right?
Maybe it was because he couldn't lower his hands. Zhang Kang also felt that he was losing face. At this time, he found a step to go down. He put down his hands and insulted me with words: "You are a fucking poor guy and I don't even bother to argue with you. Get out of here right now, and remember to pay back the rest of the money as soon as possible, before you two can spend your whole life working in my restaurant."
When I got home, I gave the remaining money to my mother and asked her to take care of herself in the future. After I finished, I left some money to share with the neighbors. I hope that if something happens to my mother, They can help.
Around four o'clock that afternoon, Zhao Hu came to see me.
Zhao Hu came alone at that time and did not see his girlfriend. I asked him how the discussion at the casino was going and whether his girlfriend was back.
Zhao Hu spat on the ground and cursed: "What the fuck, I can tell you, but they just won't let him go, and now the interest rate has reached 260,000. Damn, it's almost doubled. It's only been a few days." Time has only given me so many twists and turns, and it’s obviously a deliberate attempt to trick me.”
To be honest, I was also shocked. I didn't expect that the loan sharks were so useless, and the interest compounded so quickly.
I asked him what he should do now, and he said that he had signed an agreement with the casino, and he would pay back 260,000 yuan in half a month. If he still doesn't have a girlfriend, they can do whatever they want.
Although the agreement was signed like this, Zhao Hu said that if it comes to that, whether it is because he has not made enough money, or whether he has made enough and the other party raises the price, he will kill the person with a knife and kill him. His girlfriend brought him out.
I sighed and said, "I can't help you now. I have paid off all my money. The remaining ten thousand was given to my mother, otherwise I can still help you."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you give me all 60,000 yuan, it won't be enough. The difference is too big."
I said, how about borrowing some from Xiaoye?
Zhao Hu shook his head: "She has already given us an advance of nearly 200,000 yuan. It is not appropriate to ask others to borrow money. The most important thing now is to touch the treasure quickly. Didn't we agree with her that the treasure will be 50-50? As long as you catch a valuable treasure, the money will be collected in minutes."
I said just wait two days. Xiaoye might not contact us until two days later.
Zhao Hu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "I'm afraid I can't wait any longer, otherwise I'll tell Xiaoye not to take three days off, and work quickly. I'm waiting for money to save my life."
I don't have a problem with that, I want to make money early anyway.
Then Zhao Hu asked me: "How are you handling your family affairs? Can you leave now?"
I said everything was set up and ready to go at any time.
Zhao Hu also said jokingly: "Then you should be careful when you go back. Don't raise enough money. Your sister-in-law will give you an interest increase, and it will be a big trick for you."
These words made my heart skip a beat:
I thought that with my sister-in-law's virtue, it was really possible for her to do such a thing.
"Oh, yes, there is something I want to remind you." Zhao Hu seemed to have remembered something and said suddenly.
I asked him what was going on, and he said: "When I was at the casino last night, I heard from two gangsters under Zhang Qingshan that Zhang Qingshan found a few people to ask about your brother's news. He said that after they found out, he directly They solved it secretly, but your brother is still missing anyway, and no one knows he is dead."
My heart beat faster when I heard this, and I yelled: "This bitch Zhang Qingshan, if he dares to plot against my brother, I will never end it with him!"
Zhao Hu sighed: "I also want to help your family with this matter, but Zhang Qingshan is covering the sky with his hands in our local area, and I can't afford to offend him. You should pay more attention in the future. If you can contact your brother, Tell him to stay away and never come back."
I smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I can't contact my brother now. I don't know whether he is hiding somewhere in our local area or whether he has gone out of town or out of the province. I hope he is outside. Feel better."
Zhao Hu patted me on the shoulder and comforted me: "I guess he went out, but after all your brother has been in Beijing. People who run away all year round can definitely take care of themselves, so you don't have to worry about it."
With that said, he took out his mobile phone and said, "Let's call Xiaoye first and ask about the situation."
I called Xiaoye and Xiaoye learned that we wanted to start working and make money as soon as possible. Naturally, she had no objection. She also said that we would set off tomorrow to the north of the province.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hu asked me a little doubtfully: "Xiao Ye said that tomorrow we are going to the north of the province. There are not many tombs in the north of the province. Isn't it good for us to touch the tomb in our hometown? There are so many, and the treasures inside are valuable."
This is actually where I am confused. I said, who knows? Anyway, their purpose is not to make money, so we can go wherever she asks.
Zhao Hu also made a joke, saying that Xiaoye might be a personal trafficker and wanted to trick us into selling her.
I burst out laughing. I said, are you worth 60,000 yuan? Stop talking about you. The three of us are not worth it even if we put together one piece.
What I said is actually not an exaggeration. In those days, 60,000 was not a small sum. I remember that at that time, some mines only paid a few thousand to more than 10,000 to more than 10,000 yuan if someone died. The better ones could pay 30,000 to 40,000, which was pretty good. .
Zhao Hu asked me again at this time: "Do you think she wanted to go to Wumingshan to touch the big tomb? It was the one my master wanted to find when he was young but didn't dare to find it."
I said it was possible, but I didn’t know if that tomb actually existed.
In fact, when Zhao Hu talked about this last time, although it was very vivid and sounded like what happened, I felt that it was a half-meter field mouse and a dream. I always felt that it was not practical, so It's okay to listen to it as a story.
As for whether there is a real tomb or whether there is a tomb, it is impossible to say for sure.
Zhao Hu said: "It should exist. Judging from Xiaoye's reaction when I talked about it last time, she obviously knew about this tomb. She probably knows much more than we do. Let's not think too much and just follow her. Money."
"Well, I hope we can make a fortune this time."
Because I am leaving tomorrow, I naturally have to pack my things today. When I was packing my things, I asked Zhao Hu to help me fool my mother and try to make my mother believe that I was really going into the electrical appliance business, so as not to worry her after I left.
After packing up our things, we went to find a pigtail, and then went to the hotel to get a room together.
When there was nothing in the room, I started to study "Chen's Feng Shui Collection Ancient Records" and specifically found the chapter on "Expelling Evils from Evils". After all, I am still feeling a little uncomfortable, and I hope it can be cured before departure.
After studying for a while, I learned that there are actually many types of evil spirits, including wind evil, cold evil, disease evil, heat evil, yin evil and so on.
The common cold that everyone usually gets is a type of wind evil and cold evil. However, my symptoms are more serious than the common cold, and taking cold medicine does not improve it at all. I often feel like my heart is being grabbed, which shows that It is evil.
This is what the book says about Yin evil:
"People with pure yin in their horoscopes are prone to be invaded by yin evils if they come into contact with dry wells, tombs, people who are dying of long-term illness and other dirty and dark places."
And I am a pure yin person. It was precisely because I was invaded by evil spirits after entering the tomb that I became possessed by evil spirits. As for this method of exorcising yin evil spirits, three things are needed.
Menthol, bitter grass, and three-grained coffin head need to be ground into powder and taken as a powder.
Menthol and bittersweet can actually be purchased in pharmacies, but three-grain coffin heads are more difficult to obtain.
The three-striped coffin head is a kind of cricket that lives deep in the Yinshan Mountains. This kind of cricket's head looks particularly like a coffin head, and there are three vertical stripes on its back, hence its name.
Unlike ordinary crickets, which only have a lifespan of about four or five months, the three-striped coffin head has a very long life. Generally, the adult stage can last three years. When the weather is cold, it will spend the winter in the ground, and when the weather is warm next year, it will Come out for food activities.
Because this species of cricket was already on the verge of extinction in the early 20th century, it is now difficult to find.
When I reached this point in my research, I felt a little frustrated. It meant that if I wanted to exorcise the evil spirits from my body, I would have to go to the Yinshan Mountains to find this kind of coffin head?
If I don't look for it, I won't be able to drive away the evil spirits, right?
No, after being infected by yin evil, you can also rely on your own yang energy to slowly expel it. You can also use methods such as basking in the sun or tying red strings on your fingers to alleviate the symptoms. Generally, it can be cured within seven to ten days. If the symptoms are gradually relieved, only when the symptoms are not relieved and get worse, it is necessary to use three-grain coffin heads to brew special medicine to eliminate them.
I also analyzed my physical condition. I think it is at most a little stronger than a common cold, and it is not particularly serious. It is estimated that the situation will ease after a few days, so I have no idea of looking for a three-patterned coffin head just yet. .
But I asked the hotel for a piece of red string and tied it on my finger.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xiaoye asked us to gather together, and then held a meeting and talked about some things to pay attention to when following her.
She said that she is the captain of our team and Jianzui is the vice-captain. If she is not present, we have to follow Jianzui's arrangements.
Of course, this refers to normal circumstances, such as where to stay, what to eat, transportation costs, etc. This sharp-tongued person, if you go out to visit tombs and dig graves to do professional things, I will be the commander.
To be honest, I was quite surprised that I was asked to be the conductor. After all, I am also a novice.
But Zhao Hu thought there was nothing wrong with me and encouraged me.
He was just dissatisfied with Jianzui and felt that Jianzui was not suitable to be the vice-captain, but Xiaoye said that this was her arrangement and we must listen.
