"What! This...this is your mother!"
Douyazai pointed at the clay figurine and couldn't help but said, "What does your mother look like?"
Seeing that Chicken Feet's expression was not good-looking, I quickly grabbed Dou Sprout and asked him to stop talking.
I said, "I'm here for nothing else. Regarding what you said yesterday, I just want to come here and ask, what is your basis for saying that I am going to jail?"
Chickenfoot Woman used a feather duster to dust the clay statue, then turned around and said, "Evidence? There is no evidence."
"I don't want to die without saving anything. Young man, if you believe it, you can sit down and talk. If you don't believe it..."
She pointed to the door: "The door is right there, you can go now."
I nodded and said, "Then take it as my belief. You said this is my disaster, so what exactly can you do to break this disaster?"
"It's difficult..." Chickenfoot Woman shook her head and said in a confused tone: "Go to the Chengguan area and find out how many people I, Li Xiaolan, have helped. Young man, if you want to break this disaster... ..
"How much?"
I frowned, knowing she wanted money.
The chicken-foot woman grinned, the red pimples on her face were squeezed together, and she stretched out her hand to show a finger.
"10,000?" I asked guessing.
"No, no, your disaster is too great. I want 100,000."
"100,000!"
Douyazai laughed directly after hearing this, "Do you think we are fools? Our money was brought by the strong wind. Can you solve any disaster? I will give you 500 yuan at most. Do you think we can do it?"
The chicken-foot woman immediately said with a cold face: "Young man, you have misunderstood again. I mean 100,000 for one person. For the three of you, the total is 300,000. My ability is worth so much."
"Haha, 300,000?"
"I think 500 is too much for you!"
"Mineko, let's go!"
Dou Sprout pulled me out by pulling and tugging, and loudly said that this is a liar, we can't be fooled, and go back quickly.
"Why are you still standing there! Come out quickly!" Dou Sprout shouted to Xiaoxuan again.
Xiaoxuan remained silent until she was called out by Dou Sprout Zai and said: "I'd rather believe it. She said she could help us solve the disaster. I think we can talk to her and see if we can ask for less." .”
"Let me go, what's wrong with you two?" Douyazai pointed at his head and said, "Is your head not rusty? Can you go back?"
The three people had different opinions and returned to Sanyou Hotel to discuss it behind closed doors.
After discussing for an hour with no result, Dou Sprout suddenly stood up and walked to the door and said, "Do you want any money?" After saying that, he opened the door.
"Huh? Brother Fa? What are you doing?"
Douyazai suddenly opened the door, and I almost fell in when I saw the hotel owner with bald hair.
Douyazai looked him up and down in confusion and said, "Brother Fa? You weren't leaning against the door just now and eavesdropping on our conversation, were you?"
"How could that happen?" Bald Hair looked at us and said with a smile, "I happened to pass by and saw that the door to your room didn't seem to be closed tightly. I thought everyone had gone out, so I just wanted to take a look and help close it, haha."
"As long as everyone is here, I'm going downstairs. If you need anything, just call me." After saying this, he turned around and went downstairs.
I didn't pay attention when he went downstairs. Then Dou Sprout got sulky and went back to his room. Now Xiaoxuan and I were left alone.
"Xiaoxuan, how are you injured?" I asked after closing the door.
Xiaoxuan sat on the sofa and shook her head. She suddenly looked up at me and said, "Yunfeng, how about... or..."
"Just say what you want to say directly, why are you hesitating?"
Xiaoxuan stood up and came over. She suddenly took my hand, looked at me with her big eyes and said, "I'm always scared because I'm not at ease. Don't worry about the bean sprouts. How about we pool money and give it to the chicken-footed woman and let her help us?" This disaster has been broken."
I was very surprised to hear what she said, so I asked, "Chickenfoot Lady said it would cost 300,000 yuan. Do you mean that we can pay 150,000 yuan each?"
Xiaoxuan let go of my hand, looked at me and nodded.
But soon she shook her head again, lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "Yunfeng, I... I only have more than 50,000 yuan with me now. Can you give me 100,000 yuan more? I will use this money in the future." Give it back to you."
"ah?"
"how come!"
I said that last time we shared the money for Ashoka Tower, we gave you dozens of dollars. Did you spend all the money? What did you buy?
"I think I just saw you buy a mobile phone."
Xiaoxuan hesitated for a long time. One moment she said she bought jewelry, and the next moment she said she lent it to a friend in Hong Kong. The two were inconsistent.
So I asked again about the jewelry you bought. Let me take a look at the jewelry and help you see if you have been cheated.
When I pressed her, Xiaoxuan actually went back to her room and took out a small jewelry box. She looked a little guilty and handed the jewelry box to me.
The jewelry box is not big, only three to four centimeters long. It cannot be used to hold large items such as bracelets. At most, it can hold small items such as earrings and pendants.
Girls are naturally fond of these things. I thought that even if the things she bought were a little bad, I would not tell her about them and would still praise them for being good and beautiful.
But when I opened the jewelry box and saw what was inside, I was stunned.
"What... is this thing? Jade?"
In the jewelry box is a jade pendant, a man wearing Guanyin and a woman wearing Buddha. The carving theme is an ordinary big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, which is a little bigger than a fingernail. The carving of this jadeite Maitreya Buddha is average, and the color is dark and almost no longer green. Maitreya Buddha's belly looked dusty. This thing was at best a bean seed in the jadeite, not even a waxy seed.
I asked with a trembling voice: "You...when did you buy it and how much did you spend?"
Xiaoxuan lowered her head and did not dare to look at me. She hummed like a mosquito talking.
"I didn't hear you clearly. How much did you say?" I asked.
Then her voice became louder and hesitantly said: "Fifty...five hundred and fifty thousand."
"You prodigal old man...!" I almost cursed!
Broken oil green, bean bottom, no color, the carver is still an apprentice!
Just this jadeite Buddha with a big belly, I said to death, it doesn’t cost more than 500 yuan!
She went behind my back and secretly bought this without consulting me! Isn’t it stupid! Isn’t it a tiger?
I was so angry that I rubbed my face so hard that it almost broke my face!
Taking a deep breath, I looked at Xiaoxuan who didn't dare to look up at me and said, "Congratulations, you made a big profit. The purchase price of this jadeite was no more than 100 yuan. You lost 549,000 yuan. Well done."
Although this is Xiaoxuan's own money, and I shouldn't say anything more, I know that this money is hard-earned. We all took a lot of risks. Once we are caught, it will be over. To put it bluntly, it means risking our own lives. of.
How could I not be angry.
Buying this kind of thing involves art transactions, and the police don't care about it. They can't find anything. I can think of it. Even if I ask her where she bought it and go to her with the thing, she won't admit it at all. Maybe even people will not admit it. Not found!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I couldn't help but scolded her a few times. Maybe I was too harsh.
With red eyes, Xiaoxuan grabbed the big-bellied Buddha from my hand, ran back to her room, and closed the door heavily.
After she left, I was alone in the room.
I sat on the sofa and rubbed my temples, feeling like I had a headache.
Xiaoxuan spent all the money she had saved, leaving only 50,000 yuan. Douyazai saved the most, but like Pixiu, he could only make a dime. I usually paid for meals and taxis, not to mention that he had no money at all. Don't believe in those superstitious things.
After thinking about it, I decided to talk to Chickenfoot Woman alone. Superstition is superstitious. If we can talk about about 100,000 yuan for three people, then I will pay the money alone. If it is more, forget it.
In this business, you should spend money to buy peace of mind, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you think about it in the future.
I went directly to the live poultry market alone, but the chicken feet woman was not there, but the chicken cages in her stall were there. Her daughter helped to look after the stall. I heard people around me calling her daughter little chicken feet woman.
The chick-footed lady is not as ugly as her mother. She looks a few years older than me. She has very fair skin and a good figure. However, her hairstyle is too unflattering. She had a big curl and dyed it red, and the corners of her mouth and ears were dyed red. With silver earrings on her top, she looks like a killer little girl.
"My mother is not here, I don't know where she went," she said.
Because I didn’t know her name, I saw people around me calling her that, so I called her that too.
I said, Little Chicken Feet Woman, when your mother comes back, ask her to go to the second floor of Sanyou Hotel to find me. I just said that I still want to talk, and you ask her if she can come.
"What?"
"What did you call me just now?"
The girl suddenly stood up, pointed at me angrily and scolded me, without any girlish image: "Hey, boy, did you just call me a little chicken-footed woman? Try calling me a little bit louder!"
After saying that, she suddenly took out a switchblade from her trouser pocket, flicked it, and the blade popped out handsomely.
She pointed the knife at me: "Which school are you from? You don't know who I am? Are you looking for trouble?"
"If you dare to call me that, I'll make you believe it or not."
