Brother Snake smiled and shook his head and said, "I told you that I won't tell you for the time being, so don't ask any more questions. Anyway, if we have a happy cooperation in the future, I will definitely tell you."
"Then you are not afraid. If Liu Xuanxuan is really killed by us, then if you continue to cooperate with us now, maybe we will kill you later. Aren't you worried?" I continued to ask.
Brother Snake said calmly: "First of all, I believe you. Liu Xuanxuan should have been lost by herself. Secondly, even if Liu Xuanxuan was killed by you, even if you are thinking about how to kill me later, I am not afraid, because I have You are so confident that you can't play hard with me. If you really have this idea, I will definitely not be the one who dies."
When he said these words, the confidence in Brother Snake's eyes almost overflowed. It was obvious that he was very sure of his own strength, and I knew it in my heart. He said he believed me and felt that Liu Xuanxuan was not killed by me. , but he must have suspected this in his heart, and he just wanted to stabilize me and said this deliberately.
I smiled and asked him: "I'm a little curious, why didn't you just ask me to cooperate with me before, instead of asking Liu Xuanxuan to come to me?"
Brother Snake replied: "My purpose is just to make money, and to make money as risk-free as possible. You are already losing your mind in this business. I have too much contact with you, and it is definitely not good for me." , and letting Liu Xuanxuan contact you in front of the scene will definitely reduce my risk."
I think what he said was quite sincere, and I guess that was his true intention.
As for what to do next, I actually have no better choice. I can only treat him as another "Liu Xuanxuan", that is, continue to cooperate with him.
After thinking for a moment, I asked him: "What if I cooperate with you and Liu Xuanxuan suddenly comes back one day?"
Brother Snake smiled and said: "Come back when you come back. Anyway, she is with me. It's just that she was the one negotiating with you in front of the curtain, and now it's me."
"Okay, I can cooperate with you, but I can only give you three of the thirty cultural relics I promised you before. If we unearth a lot of cultural relics next time when we cooperate, I can only give you three. Because I am short of money now, I want to make a lot of money in a short time.”
"What do you want so much money for?"
Later, I briefly told him about the short-haired girl, saying that I now want to help the short-haired girl pay off her debts, so I have to give her most of the cultural relics I obtained in the early stage. I can only promise thirty items a year to Brother Snake. It won’t be less, but I won’t give him too much at first.
"I didn't expect that you are still a love interest. You are willing to bear so many debts for a woman you have not known for a long time. I admire you as a man, so I will do as you say. Anyway, thirty things a year. You definitely can’t do without me.”
As he said that, Brother Snake also pointed to a room next to him: "I have prepared some wine and food in the room. Let's go in and have a good chat. It just so happens that we can get to know each other well so that we can cooperate in the future."
I didn't want to eat with him. I said that I had just come back and my mother had cooked dumplings for me and was waiting for me to eat, so I went back first.
"Then let's leave each other's phone numbers and make sure you come next time I call you."
I declined again: "You can leave a phone number, but if you want to eat, I'd better wait until the rest of my team comes back next time. Let's eat together then."
Brother Snake didn't force it. He said, "Okay, then remember to tell the rest of your team about me and let them be ready to cooperate with me as soon as possible."
"OK."
After exchanging phone calls with Brother Snake, I left here and walked to the dumpling shop. I felt relaxed and a little nervous at the same time. What was relaxing was that we always knew that there was someone behind Liu Xuanxuan, and he had been hiding in the dark. This is not good for us, but now that he is on the bright side, we don’t have to be cautious everywhere.
The reason for being nervous is that this guy seems to be more difficult to deal with than Liu Xuanxuan, and subsequent cooperation with him will definitely be more difficult and unsafe for us.
Of course, I also called Zhao Hu and the others to talk about the situation and talked to them about what should be said to Brother Snake and what should not be said. Zhao Hu did not take Brother Snake seriously on the phone. He said that he had heard about Brother Snake before, and he was not a powerful person. He also said that we could trick Brother Snake into following us to the temple together, and just kill him when evil spirits appear.
I also asked him if he was with Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong had betrayed us, otherwise how could he have obtained those photos of cultural relics. Zhao Hu still thought that Brother Dong was reliable. He said that maybe Brother Dong was with that person. While helping Hong Kong and Macao businessmen make deals, someone leaked the news.
I said let’s have a good chat when you come back. If we don’t find out if there is anyone behind Brother Snake, we will never be able to feel at ease.
After chatting with Zhao Hu, I returned to the store. My mother quickly cooked dumplings for me again. After dinner, I asked her to cook another dumpling for me and sent it to the hotel, but the short-haired woman said She had already eaten, and I took out the portion I gave her again, and finally gave it to the man repairing the bicycle on the roadside.
Because short-haired women are more anxious to make money by robbing tombs, I called Sister Yuan that afternoon and said that I wanted to talk to the sales person. Sister Yuan asked for my hotel room number and said that she would let that person go there that night. Find me.
It was probably around nine o'clock in the evening. I was watching TV in the room when there was a sudden knock on the door.
After I walked over and opened the door, there was a middle-aged man about forty years old standing at the door. This man was wearing a hat and looked very thin. He nodded to me and said: "I am Lao Chai, come here. Selling point.”
Sister Yuan had told me that this person’s surname was Chai, and it seemed that he was right. I opened the door and let him enter the house. After closing the door, I couldn’t wait to ask: “I heard Sister Yuan say this. It’s from our local area, right?”
Lao Chai nodded: "It's considered local, but also from the next county. It's the junction of the two places."
I smiled a little puzzled and said: "Our place has been a holy land for tomb robbers since ancient times. There are many tomb robbers. It stands to reason that all the fatter ones like us should have been touched by others. How can you still let this happen?" Did you catch something?"
He smiled and said, "I also found this point accidentally, and this point is very peculiar. It is different from other points and cannot be found using normal methods."
As soon as I heard him say this, my heart started to lift:
Generally speaking, there is something fishy about this kind of unusual thing. Either there is evil at work, so ordinary tomb robbers cannot find it, or the location is relatively complicated and not easy to get to.
I immediately asked: "How strange is it?"
Lao Chai smiled, and then made a "money" gesture with his hand: "Well, if I tell you this, then this is almost equivalent to telling you, you have to give me this first."
"How much does this cost?" I asked.
Lao Chai stretched out two fingers.
I thought he was talking about 20,000, and I thought the price was not too high. When I said I would give him 20,000 tomorrow, Lao Chai was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand hurriedly: "No! It's not 20,000, what I said is Two hundred thousand."
My jaw dropped in shock: "How much? Two hundred thousand?"
Lao Chai nodded: "Yes, two hundred thousand, the price is indeed a bit expensive, but this is definitely a good point and you won't lose money."
I smiled bitterly and said, "There is no guarantee of winning or losing this thing. Everything depends on life. How can you be so sure that we won't lose money?"
"This..." Lao Chai thought for a moment, and finally gave up: "Don't worry about it, I won't let you lose money anyway. I have such a deep friendship with Yuanyuan, and I won't cooperate with her once or twice. , why don’t you call her and ask her opinion again to see if you want to buy it or not."
