After a while, Liao Mei said: "Brother Mule... you are talking about a few hundred yuan. But who has to spend money to buy a wife? Who is not a pauper in a remote country? If you spend a few hundred yuan more, your eyelids will be gone." Without batting an eyelid, someone with such arrogance still needs to buy a wife?"
San Mulezi clicked his tongue and said in a rather disdainful tone: "You are a woman and don't understand the meaning of this. Uncle, you are a man. You said, if you want to buy a wife, you only need to spend a few more dollars." Hundreds, you can choose at will, do you want to spend this money? Anyway, you have already sold the pot, and you still care about tightening your belt? But I have to say it again, you can't use this method on me, my wife's The price can't go up, and her friends have to sleep with me for one night... The three of them come together. I'm just a little tired, but it's not impossible... I can take turns. I'm a good talker."
"You're either a damn mule or a donkey." My uncle laughed and scolded, "I understand what a mule means. Just like a few days ago, Li Da Lezi wanted to buy a motorcycle, but he only had enough money to buy a second-hand one. But he would rather borrow money than buy a brand new one. This is the same reason. The less money a person has, the more face he has, and the less he cares about money; the more lack of women, the more he wants to show his superiority by picking women. That’s the truth.”
"Brother Mule, you can give the method you mentioned a try. However, if your wife's three friends are all slept with by you, we will not have any extra 'yellow goods' for the time being." . You also know that 'yellow goods' are in short supply. Some buyers, no matter how ugly they are, just want 'yellow goods'. Therefore, although 'yellow goods' are more expensive, they are easier to sell than 'white goods' many."
"In addition, the method you mentioned of letting people choose after raising prices has never been done before. Now we suddenly start doing it. If it works, it will be good. If it doesn't, we will suffer heavy losses."
"So, do you think this is okay? You can pick any one of your wife's three friends back and let her sleep with you for the night. There are two 'yellow goods' left, let's try it with the next buyer. If If it works, Brother Mule will have made a great contribution, and Mei Zi and his uncle and aunt will remember this kindness in their hearts. If it doesn't work, we won't suffer too much loss. How about it?"
The third mule said very dissatisfied: "You have suffered a heavy loss, it is just a few less money. Besides, my method will succeed and not fail nine times out of ten. Do you remember the kindness of my third mule? Is there a piece of shit that can be used as food? No, no, I won’t agree... Unless you let me choose one to go back to, and let me sleep for at least three days. Three sleep for one day, and one sleeps for three days. Counting this way, I I won’t suffer any loss.”
This time, the old uncle refused again: "No, no... you must be tossing this free thing to death. I have been tossing it all night and I don't know how much you, a mule, can torment people to. Life or death, if you struggle for three days, I can guarantee you that most of the people who come back will be breathless. Even if they are breathless, they will definitely not be human. Mules, you can only choose one and sleep for a night. If you agree, you can agree, if you don't agree, you can Pull me down. If it weren’t for your wife’s sake, you wouldn’t have to choose this one.”
My aunt also said: "Mule, the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. You are a smart man, and you must know when to stop. The method you think of should work. Therefore, there are so many good dishes served at once, and I don't have to worry about not being able to eat them all. This I have to thank you."
Three Mules understood. The reason why this group of people took the trouble to talk to him was because they were worried that they couldn't find so many old bachelors, and they had to eat, drink, and eat, which raised the cost. This method of raising prices can completely recoup the increased costs with profits.
The third mule suddenly touched his instep and said, "Uncle, aunt, Meizi, my foot hurts, it hurts so much..."
"It's fine. Why does it hurt? I didn't see you doing anything." Liao Mei said.
"I moved a rock and hit myself in the foot..."
…
The third mule continued: "Why should I call the third mule? What's the difference between a mule and a donkey? Why did my father give me such a name...Uncle, aunt, Meizi, you said killing the donkey, why? Can't we ask the unloading mill to kill the mules? The mules are also pulling the mill."
The main room was still silent.
"Uncle, Aunt, Meizi, have you demolished the bridge?"
"Mule, don't you pretend to be crazy and say weird things. I'm still saying the same thing, if you agree, just agree. If you don't agree, I'll pull you out, get out!" said the uncle.
"I promise, I have no choice but to promise. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat..."
Not long after, there were footsteps and the sound of a door closing. Three mules left.
"Tomorrow, I will go with you. Keep her under guard." said the uncle.
"No, it's not good to make her defensive. I'll just go. This girl is just a fool, she doesn't know anything. Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I'll go alone and take care of her." Three friends are also brought back..." Liao Mei said.
This ended a very magical conversation.
Zhou Xiaolu walked out of the storage room in a daze. Her young mind and clean world were greatly impacted. She always felt that everything in front of her was unreal, and she couldn't tell whether she was in a nightmare or in the real world.
After lying back on the bed, I realized that I was breaking out in a cold sweat.
The dirty man's face appeared in front of me again, as well as his disgusting weird stories, and I thought that if he really bought me back, I might as well just die.
"Men, they're all disgusting. Except grandpa."
Zhou Xiaolu, who couldn't sleep at all, suddenly came up with this idea.
Before dawn the next day, Liao Mei woke up Zhou Xiaolu.
After simply tidying up and eating something hastily, the two set off quickly.
When Zhou Xiaolu came out of school, she brought a change of clothes.
I don’t know where they contacted a motorcycle. The two of them rode on the back of the motorcycle and walked for a long time before arriving at the bus station in the town.
Zhou Xiaolu considered jumping off the motorcycle, but after thinking about it, she felt that the risk was too great. If you don't know the way out, you are more likely to break your leg. In the end, you will still be destined to be slaughtered by others. Apart from being in pain and alerting the enemy, the possibility of successful escape is slim.
As we get closer to the town, the flow of people and vehicles gradually increases. Zhou Xiaolu became more and more calm.
Coincidentally, the bus station in the town is not far from the police station. When Zhou Xiaolu sat on her motorcycle and passed the police station, a stone finally fell to her heart. She was glad that she had finally escaped the fate of being ruined by the three mules.
After a while, I got off my motorcycle and ran to the police station when I saw the right moment. There were many people on the road, and Liao Mei didn't dare to do anything to herself.
Zhou Xiaolu thought secretly.
But the ridiculous and terrifying conversation the four of them had last night echoed in her ears again, and thinking of the tragic experiences of those trafficked women, Zhou Xiaolu glanced at Liao Mei's white hands on her waist, and secretly thought She was wondering if it would be too easy for her if the people from the police station arrested her later...
After the motorcycle stopped at the passenger station, Zhou Xiaolu made up her mind.
Then, she jumped out of the car happily and asked: "Sister Meizi, which bus should we take?"
Liao Mei saw that Zhou Xiaolu was normal and everything was normal. She also smiled and pointed at a shabby minibus in front of her and said, "Just take this ride."
The county where Zhou Xiaolu and her grandfather live is called Zhumahe.
The two of them went back and forth several times, and finally arrived at Zhumahe County near noon.
"Sister Mei, my home is not far from here. We are in a hurry, so I won't invite you to sit down."
"Well...you're welcome. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go find your sisters first."
Liao Mei's answer did not surprise Zhou Xiaolu.
Zhou Xiaolu said with a smile: "Sister Mei, I think you are tired too. How about we have a meal first and then get an hourly room. You can go to the room to have a rest. After I find them, we can come to the room to find you together?" "
Liao Mei originally wanted to watch it herself, but Zhou Xiaolu didn't feel anything strange all the way.
Liao Mei thought for a while and thought that it would be unnecessary for her to follow Zhou Xiaolu.
If the silly Baitian in front of him wanted to run away, there would be plenty of opportunities along the way, so he wouldn't have to do any tricks again now. Besides, this kid is stupid and I don't think she can do any tricks.
Liao Mei had been thinking about the price increase plan proposed by San Mulezi last night. At one moment I felt that Brother Mule was a smart man, but he was too lazy, otherwise he would not have been reduced to buying a wife. At another moment he was wondering if there was anything inappropriate in this price increase plan, and at another moment he was looking forward to what would happen after the price increase. I was a little excited to make a lot of money and barely slept at all. I was really sleepy and hungry at this moment. After I made some calculations in my mind, I nodded and said "ok".
After coming out of the guest house, she passed by a local police station. Zhou Xiaolu walked straight over without even looking at it.
Liao Mei stood in front of the window of the room. When she saw this scene, she felt more relieved. She raised an arc at the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "What a good boy."
Then, he closed the curtains, fell on the bed with peace of mind, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Like a girl in her prime, Zhumahe County undergoes small changes every year or two, and big changes every three or five years. Year after year, year after year, the county undergoes cosmetic changes, becoming more and more beautiful. Returning tourists are often like strangers who cannot believe their eyes and ask in surprise: Is this the Zhumahe County where I once lived?
At first, there were five- and six-story high-rise buildings, gradually it became nine-story, ten-story, and now, it starts with more than ten or twenty floors. At first, most of them were accommodation buildings and office buildings. Gradually, they were related to the quality of life of citizens. There are endless livelihood projects with urban quality. The county's No. 1 Middle School and tourist station were relocated, the theater and the National Fitness Center were renovated, and a new library, archives, and museum were built...
