I took Haitang and the fat man and rushed over to meet him.
There was just a crashing sound, and the flying hornbills that were flying all over the shore suddenly exploded, hovered in the air, and fell into the lake with a splash.
In just an instant, the lake had returned to calm, with only the night breeze blowing. Several mutilated corpses lay strewn on the ground, and the splashes of blood were shocking.
The entire snake-catching group, except for the fat man, had been wiped out. The reason why these corpses were left behind was because Wang Jinbo and his son suddenly arrived before the flying-headed hornbills had time to finish the prey.
"What a hell!" Wang Yixia wiped the blood on his face and couldn't help but cursed.
His father Wang Jinbo also had a solemn expression. He looked around and saw that there were no other survivors, so he came up to him and asked, "Why are you two here?"
"We are here to fish." Haitang responded, but her voice was a little hoarse.
She must have been frightened by the scene just now.
Wang Jinbo smiled at her and asked Wen Yan, "Are you not scared?"
"A bit." Haitang nodded.
"It's already amazing!" Wang Jinbo gave her a thumbs up and explained to me, "We, father and son, came here to find a friend, but we didn't expect to meet a flying-headed tiger."
As he spoke, he glanced at the dark lake with a worried look on his face.
"Is that friend here to fish?" I asked.
"That's not true." Wang Jinbo shook his head slightly, "We are just here to try our luck."
"I see." I saw that he didn't elaborate. It was obviously inconvenient, so I didn't ask further.
Then he kicked the fat man and said, "Why are you pretending to be dead?"
The fat man groaned and let out a long breath. It seemed as if he had just woken up. He looked at us in confusion, "I...where am I?"
The acting looks quite similar.
I grabbed his collar, carried him to the shore, and was about to throw him into the lake.
"No, no, no, I'm awake, I'm awake!" The fat man screamed in fright.
Seeing that I was indifferent, he quickly shouted, "Don't be angry, I...I promise to cooperate, absolutely!"
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" I gave him a cold look.
"My..." The fat man hesitated.
As soon as I let go of my hand, the fat man screamed and fell immediately.
It's just that despite his fat head and big ears, this man is a flexible fat man. At the critical moment of life and death, he actually forced him to hug half of the branch stretched out from the shore.
I stepped on his head.
"No, no, no, no, my name is Pang Dahai, and I'm a broker!" The fat man screamed, quickly poured beans into the bamboo tube, and told the details.
"Those are snake catchers, who specialize in hunting big snakes everywhere. I'm not on the same side as them. I'm just... I'm just guiding them!"
"Broker?" Wang Jinbo frowned and asked, "Which faction are you from?"
"Blue and white." The fat man shouted.
Seeing the doubtful look on my face, Lao Wang explained, "This is an old-school term for a broker. In fact, he is a middleman who connects the two parties."
"A pimp, right?" I stepped on the fat man's forehead with a little force.
The fat man screamed again in fright, and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's the pimp!"
Wang Jinbo smiled and said, "This broker has many schools. He said he is from Qinghua, which shows that he does have some understanding of this business."
"That's right, I'm quite famous in the brokerage circle, and I'm known as the Fat Master." Pang Panghai said quickly.
"Fat man, right?" I said with a half-smile.
"No, no, no!" Pang Panghai was startled, "In front of others, he is Fatty, but in front of you, he is... just Little Fatty!"
Wang Yixia next to him laughed out loud, "This damn fat guy is quite funny!"
"Did you provide information to these snake catchers and bring them here to catch snakes?" Wang Jinbo asked with a frown.
"This..." Pang Panghai hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly shouted to me, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I... I was just sorting out my thoughts. I was so scared just now and my mind was still in a mess. "
"This is quite a lot of nonsense, just throw it away and feed it to the fish." Wang Yixia said.
"The fish down there are very ferocious, their teeth are so long." Haitang answered abruptly and made some gestures.
I looked at her and saw that this little girl had an honest face.
Others may not understand, but based on my experience with Haitang, this little girl will not easily interrupt when others are talking.
Now that she is speaking, she is helping us to scare the fat man on purpose.
I have to say that this kid learns things really fast, and he is especially good at drawing inferences from one example and selling what he learns now.
"Don't, don't, don't!" Pang Panghai didn't dare to delay anymore and quickly told what he knew, "Yes... I introduced them here. These people have been looking for the golden-eyed python and want to make a fortune. I Just...I just tricked them into coming here."
"Do you have any grudge against them?" Wang Jinbo asked.
"No, no!" Pang Panghai denied.
Wang Jinbo frowned, "That doesn't make sense, does it? Since you are an old broker, you should know the rules of the broker. There is no grievance or enmity. Why did you trick them into coming here, just to cheat a sum of money? Not necessarily, right?"
"You are really discerning!" Pang Dahai hurriedly flattered, "My fat man... no, no, my little fat man has always abided by the rules, and is trustworthy in business. He is well-known in the circle. This time he tricked them to come here, and it was true. It’s helpless.”
Wang Yixia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little Fatty, what are you doing?"
Pang Dahai's face tightened, with a look of horror on his face, and he said, "Someone put a note on the bedside for me. It said, let me find a group of people and take them to the outskirts of Meicheng without leaving any trace." Old Pine Reservoir, the reward is my life.”
"You guys should also know that we walk in the rivers and lakes and are very alert when sleeping. But why did that note appear on my bedside? I didn't notice it at all. If the other party wants to pick my head, then It’s a piece of cake!”
"My first reaction was fright, but my second reaction was excitement!"
"You said it's normal to be frightened. Why are you so excited?" Wang Yixia wondered.
Pang Panghai sighed, with a sad look on his face, "I have a friend who has been with me for many years. He is also an old broker. Speaking of which, he led me into the industry. Not long ago, he secretly found me and told me something. thing."
"He said that when he was sleeping, someone put a note on the bedside, but he didn't tell me the specific content of the note. He only said that this thing was very strange and he didn't feel very good, so he came here specially. Come to me, if anything happens to him, let me take care of his family."
"After my old friend left, there was indeed no news at all. I checked through various channels for a long time, but I couldn't find any clues."
"With my old friend's methods, there is no problem in taking people to a certain place without leaving any trace."
"I have always been worried about the safety of my old friend, but I didn't expect that I would suddenly receive such a note!"
