"Hey, Miss Tianlin, let me tell you the truth. The fifteen nine-leaf grasses this time are tributes to the three ancient countries. The five of us have already invested all our wealth and lives in them."
Boss Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead at this time and said again: "Well, we are willing to increase the reward. Please take over the task of collecting nine-leaf grass."
"Hey hey hey, you brought this up first, so I won't be polite." Shang Tianlin was secretly proud at this moment. He deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of collecting grass, just to wait for the other party to be nervous. Be patient and ask to increase the reward yourself. In this case, Shang Tianlin can get another share.
"Then I asked Brother Guan and Brother Agou to be my helpers this time. Of course, their remuneration will also increase." Shang Tianlin was now like a little shopkeeper who was obsessed with money. She clapped her fingers and said, "This way Well, if the five of you are willing to pay each of us three hundred shells, a total of nine hundred, then I will take on this task."
"What?! Nine hundred shells?!" Upon hearing this, the five merchants were so frightened that they almost fell down, because so many shells were enough to equal the entire property of any one of them. After hearing this, Shang Tian Lin's price was as big as a lion's mouth, and Wan Laoda suddenly shook his head like a rattle.
"Miss Tianlin, do you want all of us to go bankrupt?!"
Mr. Wan sighed and said: "I hope you can understand our difficulties. Let's do this. I'll give you a fair price. You and Brother Guan and Brother Agou can each get 200 shells." What do you think of the reward?"
The remaining merchants nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, this is the highest reward we can give."
At this time, Shang Tianlin pretended to be embarrassed and tilted her head to think about it for a long time. In fact, she was already happy in her heart: "I originally thought that if the other party was exhausted, it would be increased to about 400 shells. Unexpectedly, it was a big, big bumper harvest. !”
"Hey, Tianlin." Guan Heng walked up to the girl and whispered, "Just accept it when you're ready. We've got enough."
"Yeah, brother Guan Heng is right, you can't squeeze these old men too much, otherwise, it will show that I am not kind."
After listening to Guan Heng's words, Shang Tianlin nodded. She said to Lao Wan: "Okay, let's make it an agreement. According to the old rules, half of the remuneration will be paid first, which is three hundred dollars. Uncle Wan, take bring it on."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay you no problem." Lao Wan winked at the merchants next to him. Someone had already taken the three bags and handed them to Shang Tianlin.
"Hahaha, I'm going to make a fortune." Shang Tianlin's eyes turned into slits as she smiled and was about to reach out to get the bag. Boss Wan suddenly said: "Miss Tianlin, I can give this to you first, but we are waiting for the ten pieces that we need now." Can you tell me how long it will take for the five nine-leaf grasses to be delivered to us?"
After hearing this, Shang Tianlin raised her voice with confidence: "This is easy to answer for you. With the help of Brother Guan and Brother Agou, I will definitely bring Xuncao back to Qingshui Village within two days. At that time, just prepare the rest of the reward."
"Okay, you always keep your word, I believe it." Boss Wan sighed at this time and said: "Two days, please!"
"Then let's say goodbye first." After Shang Tianlin said this, she winked at Guan Heng, and the few of them hurried out.
A few moments later, the corner of the street not far away was in a quiet and deserted place.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that those few seemingly shrewd merchants were fooled by you." Guan Heng weighed the pocket containing two department store shells at this time, smiled and said to Shang Tianlin: "If you Not doing business is a waste of talent.”
"Hahaha, Brother Guan, don't praise me like that. I really deserve it." At this moment, Shang Tianlin counted the goods in her pocket and said, "In fact, if they hadn't urgently needed Nine-leaf Xuncao, If so, I may not be able to get such a big reward."
"Besides, what I said is not all exaggeration." Shang Tianlin put away the money bag and then said to Guan Heng: "The remote cliff with the nine-leaf grass growing on it is indeed steep and difficult to climb. And there are also monsters. Habitat, if I hadn't asked you and Brother Agou for help this time, I really wouldn't have dared to go there alone."
As soon as Shang Tianlin said this, Agou handed the money bag in his hand to Guan Heng: "You can take these, I don't know what their use is anyway."
Guan Heng smiled slightly, reached out to take the money bag, and asked again: "When should we set off?"
"Well, let me calculate the distance." Shang Tianlin tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said: "It's about half a day's journey from Qingshui Village to the northwest desert. There is Yingting Mountain and Nine-leaf Xuncao. It grows on the cliffs of Yingtiao Mountain, but we have to find a way to deal with the monsters nearby first."
"Is it half a day's journey?" At this moment, Guan Heng raised his head and looked at the height of the sun. He then said to Shang Tianlin and Agou: "It's noon now. If we set off now, we should be able to reach Yingtiao Mountain in the evening. , Tianlin, do you have your own mount?"
"Yes, my horse is still at the boarding house." Shang Tianlin said at this time: "You can follow me to get the mount back first, and then everyone will set off immediately."
Guan Heng and Agou nodded in agreement, and then followed Shang Tianlin to the residence where she was staying. Tianlin's mount was a dark red horse with shiny red fur, and its mane was very beautiful in the wind. This horse was not tall. , just suitable for a petite girl like Shang Tianlin to ride.
When Guan Heng saw the red horse, he couldn't help but praise: "Well, what a good horse!"
"Hehehe, this is the foal my parents left for me, and it has grown into such a big size."
Shang Tianlin turned over and jumped on the horse. Guan Heng also rode on the ghost-eating tiger. The snake-like bird jumping on the tiger's head flew onto Guan Heng's shoulder. Shang Tianlin asked at this time: "Agou Brother, what should you do? Do you need me to find another horse?"
"No, no, no." Agou waved his big hand and said nonchalantly: "I can catch up with you even if I run on two legs."
"So awesome?!" Shang Tianlin stuck out her tongue in surprise after hearing this. She then said to Guan Heng beside her: "Your adopted brother, um, is so amazing."
"Hehehe, let's go, Tianlin, lead the way." Hearing Guan Heng's call, Shang Tianlin smiled softly and immediately let the red horse run: "Drive."
"Da da da" A tiger and a horse, together with a strong man named Ah Gou, ran out of Qingshui Village.
