Chapter 15
"Corpse...Corpse Horn Immortal," I had never heard of such a thing before, and I was even more frightened at the moment.
"Grandma, can you cure me? I can give you money. I don't want to die yet." I said fearfully.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said: "Tell me the truth, what do you do? If you refuse to tell me, then please come back."
"I......"
I was torn in my heart. If I revealed my identity, I knew that it would not only be me who would be implicated, but the boss and the Sun brothers would also be arrested.
When I jumped off the bridge, he stopped me with his head. He was willing to keep a little kid like me by his side to train him, and he was willing to give me a bite to eat. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I was very grateful to him.
I can't do this kind of thing of betraying them behind their backs.
Not only that, if the news leaks out and Li Jing knows my identity, she will definitely not be friends with me since she knows I am a criminal.
After careful consideration, I took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, although I want to be cured, there are some things I can't say."
Mrs. Liu looked at me in surprise for a long time. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Okay, I understand. Come with me."
"Grandma, what are you doing?" I asked her.
"Of course I'm going to treat you. Why, do you want to die?"
"But, you just said..."
Mrs. Liu helped her husband on the bed for most of her life. She turned around and looked at me and smiled and said, "There are some qualities that are very valuable to those who live in the world."
That night, Mrs. Liu took me to the east room. There were many large black jars on the floor of the east room, which looked like the kind of jars used to pickle pickles.
Mrs. Liu asked me to turn around and look away.
I only heard the sound of the lid of the jar opening behind me, and then I heard the sound of pounding medicine.
Later, Grandma Liu found gauze and applied a lot of black concoction on my swollen fingers. The concoction had a strong fishy smell.
To be honest, I still don’t know what was in the black jar at that time. I once guessed it might be something like a scorpion and a gecko.
After applying the medicine given by Mrs. Liu, the pain in my finger disappeared that night. I went back to Li Jing's house and stayed one night. I removed the gauze the next morning and the swelling on my finger had subsided, which was amazing.
Mrs. Liu saved my life and Li Jing saved my life. I want to repay their life-saving grace.
I secretly called Li Jing out and said to him: "Thank you Li Jing. I, Xiang Yuncheng, helped you. I will help you and your mother pay off the 50,000 yuan with my own money."
Li Jing suddenly laughed.
"Xiang Yunfeng, are you talking nonsense? Fifty thousand yuan, your own money? Even if you earn it for ten years, it won't be enough."
I don’t blame her for not believing me, I secretly kept this in mind. Later, I asked about her father's situation, what kind of business his father was in, and why he lost so much money.
When I asked this, Li Jing's face immediately turned ugly. After my repeated questioning, Li Jing finally told the truth.
Li Jing’s father’s name is Li Mingquan. He used to be the director of a brick-burning factory in Shunde. In the past two years, Shunde has had a government project to build a large number of public toilets and garbage transfer stations around the city’s moats to prevent people from throwing them into the river at will. Garbage and urination.
Li Mingquan had a good mind and discovered business opportunities, so he became the raw material supplier for this project through bribery.
Don't underestimate a public toilet. If it works well, the profit will be no less than those of hollow pipe projects, let alone there are many public toilets and garbage stations.
Li Quanming made a fortune through this project operation. According to rough calculation, he earned a small amount of 100,000 yuan.
For the Li family, this was originally a good thing, but Li Quanming has a hobby. He likes to buy antiques, and Li Quanming is the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand and is an amateur who pretends to be an expert.
At this time, the domestic antique market is in a period of overall growth, and many things are priced at the same price every year.
Li Quanming made a fortune doing engineering work. Many people knew about this and knew that he loved buying antiques, so three people formed a team and planned to trick him.
How could Li Quanming get a huge sum of money from him?
Two words.
Make a game.
These three people were vendors from a nearby antique market. They first asked someone to dig a big hole in Gou Mountain in the north. Then the three people dug a tomb passage in the hole themselves. They bought a lot of fake antiques from the antique market. , these antiques include gold, jade, porcelain, stone carvings, wood carvings, etc.
Of course, the goldware is made of copper, the jadeware is made from stone powder and pressed with a lathe, and the porcelain and stone carvings are all new and fake.
In order to make the tomb look more like a fake tomb, they would dig ditches in the mountains whenever it rained and divert a large amount of rainwater into the fake tomb.
When the water soaked, mud was everywhere in the tomb, and a lot of fake antiques were buried in the mud.
After careful planning for several months, they felt that the time was almost right, so they found Li Quanming.
Li Quanming doesn't have much discernment, but he knows one thing: good antiques can be worth a lot of money.
The three of them took Li Quanming to the fake tomb. Li Quanming's eyes widened when he saw the shining gold objects exposed in the mud of the tomb.
This group of people dared to ask for a price, so they said to Li Quanming, "Boss Li, if you want it, everything in this tomb is priced at 200,000!"
In the end, Li Quanming negotiated and set the price at 160,000.
In order to obtain these things, he used his family's savings and even borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from outside.
Later, everything was sorted out, and as for those three people, they had long since disappeared.
Li Quanming thought of trying to sell a few things first, but as can be imagined, no one wanted his things.
In one tomb, nearly a hundred burial objects were all fake, and the total cost of dozens of them was no more than a thousand yuan.
If the things couldn't be sold, there would be no money, but the money he borrowed had to be repaid, and there was interest on the money. In less than half a year, the principal plus interest had rolled up to 50,000 yuan.
Creditors came to collect debts every day, and he was forced to do nothing. Later, he left Li Jing and her daughter and ran away. Now he doesn't know where he is hiding.
He ran away, and Li Jing and her daughter naturally became the main targets of debt collectors. After all, if he ran away, the monk could not escape from the temple.
That’s why I could only see the debt-forcing scene the day before yesterday.
After talking about her father, Li Jing lowered her head and said, "Xiang Yunfeng, I'm going to quit high school after graduating from high school. I'm going to work in an electronics factory. I know a sister who said that the electronics factory can earn 600 yuan a month." Bucks.”
When I returned to the hotel with a lot of worries, I was still thinking about Li Jing and how I could help her pay off her debt as soon as possible.
Wang Baotou and Sun Laosan were in the hotel. Sun Laoer and Yi Yimao were not seen, and they didn't know where they went.
I saw Wang Baotou's expression was ugly, so I asked him what happened. Did he find the main tomb?
Sun Laosan and Wang were both smoking with their heads down, and their faces were so gloomy that it was scary to see them.
Sun Laosan threw away the cigarette and said with clenched fists.
"Second brother is missing. He disappeared in the pit last night."
