Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 2040: Grave Theft, Brothers
In the meantime, a gleaming cellular ringtone woke me from stunner.
Picking up the phone, there were more than a dozen unanswered calls, followed by several text messages.
The call came from Yin Xinyue, Captain Huang, and Li Mazi, as well as several unfamiliar numbers.
The texts were also sent by these people.
Yin Xinyue's text message asked what I was busy with. In a few days, the crew will be busy. During this time, Taiyu will protect her. She will be back for a while. I silently replied: Durex is already hungry and impatient!
Captain Wong's text message is simple, only three words: he won't change.
Looks like Boss Guo does have a problem, but he still sees the expensive watch more, and his ancestral pendant is irrelevant!
My reply is also simple: OK.
Li Mazi has the longest text and complains!
He asked me if there was anything else I could do to replace Kim Lotus Scale. He really couldn't stand this old lady...
The old lady was born clean and stubborn, which was just a day later. To stop her from washing her feet, she almost tried to solve the problem all over her body and her tired mouth was dry.
In order to stabilize the old lady, Li Mazi was exempt, and recognized her as a grandmother. Later, he listed a dozen more ways to ask me if I could use this instead of 100 days of dirt, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on! Otherwise, ask Mr. White to come and help him for two days...
In the face of Li Mazi's many complaints, I only replied: success or failure in this move still requires effort!
Put the phone away, I rushed downstairs.
Just turned around the corner of the third floor, he saw Wu leaning against the wall to sleep in the right fragrance, with glutinous rice on his face, falling on the scent ash, together with tears, it seemed that he was also really tired.
I didn't want to disturb him. I walked past him lightly.
But he suddenly hugged my thigh and shouted: “Grandpa, Grandpa..."
And it startled me! Did something happen to Wu Lao Bao?
Now he can no longer sleep peacefully. “Wu, how's your grandfather? ”
Wu was suddenly woken up and a little hesitated. At first sight, it was me. He jumped up and said with a smile: “My grandfather is awake, thank you for opening the palm cabinet! I wanted to let you know sooner, but I couldn't bear to bother you if you slept right. ”
As he spoke, tears came down, making him look like the big flower face in the opera.
“Where is he? Show me.” I am also extremely pleased to hear this news!
“In my room, Dumb took care of him, and he asked me to wait upstairs for you, saying he'd call you when you woke up. He seems to have something to say to you.” Wu rubbed a tear and rushed forward to lead the way.
Pushing the door open, Wu Lao Bao leaned against the bed and looked out the window. He heard the door turn his head.
Although still weak, his swelling had long disappeared, and his mental appearance was surprisingly good, especially with that eye burning.
“Old Wu, it's so good to see you sitting here so well!” I walked up with a smile and held his hands tight - this is not a cliché. Wu Lao has always been a good man and an old foreman of the shady world. He has always helped me a lot, saw him beat another spin from the reaper, and replied to the original appearance. Naturally, an unspeakable joy emerged.
“It's not because of you.” Wu Laohao replied with a smile, then turned to the mute uncle who stood beside him and Xiao Wu, who stood at the door, and yang chin: “You two go out first, I have something to say to Jiulin. ”
Uncle Dumb nodded and walked out. Wu gently closed the door.
“Jiulin, sit down first.” Old Wu badly pointed to the chair that was deliberately placed beside the bed, quietly awaiting my arrival: “I'm going to tell you about this from beginning to end...”
“As you all know, I was a grave thief, but I had to! ”
“When we were poor, we couldn't even eat, and when we were little, we lay in the pig trough of the owner's house and grabbed food from a bunch of piglets. Those days were so poor, they couldn't live! We Wujiazhuang ourselves are another bitter place, catching up with the good years can eat eight cents full, if the years of natural disaster and drought, even the grassroots bark can not fill the belly. We were three brothers and sisters, but my sister just caught a full meal and died alive. Shortly thereafter, my parents were so hungry! Hey! That day..."
Old Wu remembered a very painful past and shook his head with a long sigh.
“There was only one half-brother left in the house, Wu Qiango, who was so hungry, I climbed up with him in the middle of the night to grab a mouse and eat it. ”
“One night we were grabbing and hearing something in the cemetery. We were scared, and we turned around and ran. I didn't want to panic and fell into the grave hole, he twisted his leg, I couldn't carry him, the two of them were scared wow crying. This is when an old man crawls out of the pit. ”
“He took out two tacos and shook them in front of both of us, luring us to say," Do you want some? Do him a favor if you want. There's a cave down there that's too small. Only kids can get in there. You go in there and help me get what's inside out, and these two big pies are for you. If you don't agree, I'll kill you right now! As he spoke, he pulled a sharp knife from his waist. ”
“We were both hungry and afraid, so we had to listen to him and follow a crude rope to the grave. ”
“Now I think of it as an ancient tomb of the late morning period, with a full brick structure with a ceiling on the outside, and once the burglary is bigger, it will collapse completely, so he won't dare to expand again. Just let us down. ”
“It was the first time we both entered the ancient tomb, and they were all scared, almost faint inside, but okay, we ended up with a couple of porcelain dishes. At that time, we both left our eyes open, saying that there was more down there, but we were too hungry to go on..."
“Who knew the old man could laugh after listening when he tried to cheat on the cake and not get killed? Said that the two of us were very talented, asked if we wanted to be his apprentices, as long as we were his apprentices, we would eat big cakes every day, and it was enough! And once a month you can open it and give it to a roasted chicken. ”
“As soon as we listened, we were overjoyed and went on to the grave-theft business. ”
“More than a decade later, the master died, and we both became the best players in the business. I don't know when it started, but the two of us are totally different. ”
“I saw how pathetic the people in the estate were, so I exchanged all the money they sold the antiques for food, and while nobody saw it in the middle of the night, I threw it in the yards - after all, the money was not very legitimate, and in which dynasty digging graves was a big sin! ”
“Wu Qianwu said I was a fool and I threw away the money I had worked so hard to trade my life for. Let no one know you did it. What is this? He took the money and went to the kiln, the casino, and in a few days, he built an essence.” Old Wu sighed badly.
“Then one day, while we were sweeping plates in a deserted mountain looking for ancient tombs, we found an old way under a big willow tree dressed in rotten, dirty face. ”
“The old way said he wanted peaches. There was a big peach tree just down the hill. Ask one of us who would pick one for him? ”
