"What does shamanism have to do with this?"
My grandfather already roughly knew it, but he still had to ask this guy. After all, acting requires dedication and a complete performance.
"What do you mean it's relevant? Let me tell you this. Don't tell others. There's a gate to what you say."
When he said, "What's the matter?", the strongman's voice rose. He was very dissatisfied that my grandfather could ask him this. However, he quickly lowered his voice, leaned his head in front of my grandfather, and carefully told my grandfather, What he says next must not be spoken out. There must be a guard on your mouth.
"Just tell me, don't worry, who can I talk to as an old man?"
My grandfather nodded and agreed that he would not tell anyone.
"Yes, let me tell you, this blockade is imposed by the Shamans. Except for the materials here that can be bought and sold freely, things outside Erlong Mountain are absolutely not allowed to come in. If you want to come in, you must have connections."
After Qiangzi finished speaking, he looked at my grandfather proudly, as if to say, "Look at me, I'm awesome."
"I understand, you have something to do with it."
My grandfather nodded and gave Qiangzi a thumbs up.
"That's right, my cousin is a disciple of the inner sect of Shamanism. I led the people to cultivate on the top of Erlong Mountain. Is my relationship generally strong?"
When Qiangzi saw my grandpa praising him and giving him a thumbs up, he immediately felt happy.
People are like this. You are an ordinary person and a beggar gives you a thumbs-up. How do you feel about it? There is an imbalance of status. If an ordinary person like you picks a thumbs-up on you, you will be happy, but you will not be overly proud and excited. But if someone with a higher status than you, generous spending, and a bodyguard around you gives you a thumbs up, you will be particularly happy and proud, which is normal. After all, in his subconscious mind, my grandpa belongs to a wealthy family. I have never seen such an old man before. If you can give him a thumbs up and praise him, it is a matter of honor.
"I understand, it's true according to what you said."
My grandfather nodded in agreement, but his tone of voice was somewhat questioning, the kind of tone where I think you are right, but I don’t know the real situation.
(This is a little talking technique, usually used to extract information)
"Old man, don't believe it. Let me tell you, you know that this market was bigger than it is now five days ago. Because many things can't be entered, many people have left."
Listening to the words, this Qiangzi could tell that my grandpa didn't believe what he was saying, so he was somewhat emotional.
"Oops, supplies can't come in, but can people be let out?"
My grandfather achieved his goal and continued to ask questions.
"Hey, how can we restrict people? It's just a routine interrogation."
When Qiangzi heard this, he waved his hand nonchalantly. When he thought of the inspectors on the road card, carrying guns, checking passers-by coming in and out, apart from not allowing others to transport supplies, they did not do much inspection of personnel. Very, almost just coping with it.
"That's right. You can't get out anywhere. You really can't restrict it. After all, the legs are on other people's bodies."
My grandfather nodded in agreement, because my grandfather used to lead the army and knew that managing people is really difficult.
"Yes, that's right, let me tell you..."
The more this man chatted with my grandpa, the more energetic he became, and the more he talked, the more interesting he became, because my grandpa always guided him to speak, in other words, he guided him along the way. In this way, the more the conversation continued, the more the other party would have the desire to continue talking. I feel that the other person is a good person to talk to.
"Master, hurry up and greet people..."
At this time, Sister-in-law Wang, who was beside the stove, refused to let Qiangzi speak and shouted loudly at Qiangzi.
Just as Qiangzi was chatting with my grandpa, another table of guests came, so Sister-in-law Wang shouted to Qiangzi and asked him to greet the guests and stop bragging to them.
"Here we go, what are you shouting about? I'll tell you when I'm done."
Qiangzi was a little impatient when he heard his mother-in-law calling him. After all, he was having a lively chat with my grandpa. At this time, who asked you to do the work would also be very disappointing, not to mention that there was money for chatting. , and there is no need to hand over the money. This is a good way to generate income for the small treasury.
"Okay, okay, okay, you go ahead and get busy."
Grandpa also saw the table that just arrived. This inquiring for information must not delay other people's normal business, otherwise everyone will become suspicious.
What's more, what my grandpa wanted to know, he also knew more or less. At least he knew that their speculation that shamanism might block the surrounding areas has become true. Shamanism has indeed begun to blockade surrounding areas, but the good news is That is, the control over personnel is not so strict.
Grandpa watched Qiangzi start to work and began to eat side dishes and mutton steamed buns. Wei Wenbin and the two servants of the Yue family also started eating without any courtesy. When they had guests and should have rules, they followed absolutely no rules. It won't be bad, this is a rule that has been cultivated in Yue's family since childhood.
Next to Sister-in-law Wang's stove, Sister-in-law Wang and Qiangzi stood next to each other and didn't know what they were talking about.
Qiangzi had just managed to serve a table of guests, and before he could take a breath, he was caught by his wife, Sister-in-law Wang. When she was caught, Qiangzi looked helpless.
"You want Gaha?"
Qiangzi looked helpless. He, a big man, was caught by his wife in front of so many people. Did he not want to lose face?
"Hand it over."
Sister-in-law Wang had an unhappy look on her face, and her eyes were fierce. She looked like a yaksha insect, and she really had the fierceness of a bandit and a forest hero.
"What the hell, just hand it over."
Qiangzi had a question mark on his face, and he was completely confused. He handed it over right away. Why should he hand it over? However, the traces of this performance were very serious. His acting skills were only slightly better than some of the little fresh meat, so his acting skills were not rated well.
"Will you hand it over?"
Sister-in-law Wang's hands were on her waist, her eyebrows were standing on end, and she had an angry look on her face. It felt like she had seen through Qiangzi's clumsy acting skills.
"What are you talking about? I don't even know what I'm paying for?"
Qiangzi obviously wants to fight to the end.
"You don't want to go through with it?"
Sister-in-law Wang's expression suddenly changed. Her face, which was originally full of anger and sternness, was instantly replaced by a pitiful expression, and her eyes were filled with light tears. It looked like it was going to rain.
"I've thought about it, I've thought about it."
When Qiangzi saw that his wife was about to cry, his claws instantly became numb. He quickly hugged his wife, shook Sister-in-law Wang's body, and coaxed Sister-in-law Wang over and over again.
"Then why don't you hand it over quickly?"
Sister-in-law Wang glanced at Qiangzi with daggers in her eyes.
