Chapter 617 Loss and Gain

Tritik got the deed and thought about it for a long time before confirming that it was true.

The peddler did pay him.

He wanted to return the deed to the salesman: "I don't want this land, I just want one person." The salesman snorted: "What do you call this? I'm not a human trafficker!"

Cuitik hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood what I meant. A friend of mine lost his life, and I want to get his life back." The more anxious he became, the more problematic Cuitik's expression became.

The salesman also understood: "You want to bring someone back to life? This is difficult." Cuitik took the deed and said: "I will give you this, and I am willing to pay more."

The salesman shook his head: "I have a way, but my way is not the way you want to bring the dead back to life. You have to find the way you want." "It's too late," Cuitik shook his head and said, "He may have... "

"As long as we can find a way, we will definitely have time," the salesman looked at Tritik, "The flowers cannot be kept in clothes all the time. The wild flowers on the mountains must be taken out frequently to let the air flow."

Tritic took out the can from his arms, which seemed to be some kind of hint. Li Banfeng nodded towards Cui Tike, which was indeed a hint.

Cui Tike didn't understand what Li Banfeng meant, but he heard the salesman say: "There is something important to do right now. Everyone in Desong Cliff is not dead yet, but it will be soon. I will give you a piece of land. If You made him turn into old soil, and I will never forgive you."

This is quite difficult to deal with.

If you don’t want Desong Cliff to turn into old soil, you must send people there. But in the current situation of Desong Cliff, let alone people, not even grass grows. Tritic had an idea: "I have a group of friends who are very resistant and should be able to settle here."

The salesman shook his head and said: "The Dao Lao ghosts can't do it, whether it's the Dao Lao ghosts on Dao Gui Ridge or the ones you bring with you." Cuitik pointed to the Dao Lao ghosts beside him: "They are actually not considered real in the true sense. The Dao Lao Gui, they are me..." The salesman still shook his head: "No matter where they come from, they must be sent back to Dao Gui Ridge!"

There was no need to discuss this with the salesman, so Tritik quickly thought of something.

Li Banfeng was still thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, and the salesman was pushing the cart to leave. "Junior brother, wait a minute." Li Banfeng quickly called the salesman.

The salesman took out the feather duster and asked, "What's going on?" Li Banfeng quickly changed his words: "Brother, don't leave in a hurry."

"Why don't you leave? There is no business for people here!" The salesman didn't even bother to shake the rattle.

"Who said there's no business? Am I still here?" Li Banfeng took out his wallet, "Buy a box of matches!" "Five cents."

Li Banfeng had no change, so he gave him a hundred-yuan bill. The salesman pouted, not very happy.

But that’s how business is, you have to make money, you can’t compete for more. He gave Li Banfeng a box of matches and a handful of change.

Li Banfeng took the opportunity to ask: "I didn't quite understand what you just said about losing money and making money. How do you run your business? Are you and Cui Tik's business considered a loss or a profit?" "I didn't just say that As I said, this business is a loss, but not much."

"Desongya is dead, so the compensation isn't too much?" Li Banfeng handed the salesman a cigarette and lit it with a match.

The salesman put down the car, took a puff of cigarette and said: "Different businesses have different methods. It is true that no business is guaranteed to make a profit, but you have to know the general quality of the business.

There are small businesses, businesses that are stable, businesses that have big ups and downs, and businesses that lose all their money.

The business in Yaowanggou was stable. Yao Xin fell, but the foundation of Yaowanggou was still there, so I handed over the business to Xu Han. Lao Xu didn’t have to play any tricks. He just kept the stall at his core and he made a profit.

The business in Haichiling is ups and downs. If we can stop the insect plague, it will be equivalent to saving Fangzhengdi and thousands of people, which will make a lot of money. If we can't stop it, Haichiling will be doomed, and it will be a huge loss.

This kind of business is the most difficult to do. I planned to do it myself. But after I found Cuitike, I got caught up in other things. I happened to see you doing disaster relief in Haichiling, so I asked Cuitike to find you. , I didn’t expect you to actually get things done,

You dare to think and you dare to fight. Everyone thought that Haichiling was hopeless, but you still fought to the end with Cuitik behind your back. From then on, I have trusted you. I want to do business with you in all ups and downs.

I thought that the condition of Desong Cliff was the same as that of Haichiling, so I still want to contact you for this business. Even if you don't agree, I will find a way to make you agree. But when I see the situation of Desong Cliff better, Be more transparent, I found that this business is not suitable for you, Desong Cliff is rotten to the root,

What is happening here is no longer as simple as a struggle for power. What these people are doing has nothing to do with Germany. They also want to provoke a war and involve the entire Prozhou.

There is no possibility of making money in this kind of business, and you can't even keep the current period. If you encounter this kind of business that loses all your money, you have to find someone else to do it.

The situation of Qianliangfang is very similar to that of Desongya. Cuitike did very well in that business, so I still chose him. Although the business of Desongya still lost money, the matter never got beyond the situation of Desongya. range, so the compensation is not much, but the reward still has to be paid. Do you understand this time? "

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "Then you might as well explain the matter clearly earlier, so that Cui Tik won't be able to shrink back and force himself to this point."

The salesman laughed and said: "Brother, you are not a master, and you can't speak without speaking. Do you think it's inappropriate for me to ask Cui Tik to hold back? If Cui Tik is allowed to let go, he can massacre Puozhou tomorrow!

I asked him to judge who should be killed, because I wanted to leave a little more capital for Desongya, but so far, there is nothing left. This is the business, so I can only accept the debt. The salesman pushed the cart and was about to leave again. Li Banfeng shouted: "Brother, wait a moment." "

"What are you waiting for?" the salesman said impatiently, "I'm just chatting with you here, don't I have to do business?" "Business has to be done, I'll buy a candle."

"Two cents."

Li Banfeng gave him another hundred-yuan note, and the salesman asked for change angrily.

"Senior brother, I've already taken care of your business twice, let's talk about other things!" The salesman picked up the feather duster: "What else are you talking about? Speak faster!"

"I have a way to break the boundaries."

The salesman put the feather duster back and rolled a cigarette for Li Banfeng: "Junior brother, sit down and chat slowly."

The two sat side by side. The salesman struck a match and lit a cigarette for Li Banfeng: "Tell me carefully, how did you break the boundary?" "I built a bridge on the boundary. People can pass through this Walk across the bridge.”

Li Banfeng wanted to seriously explain the principles of the hidden bridge to the salesman, but the salesman couldn't wait to ask: "How many people can cross your bridge at one time?" "There should be three or five people."

The salesman's smile faded: "That's it."

Li Banfeng was unhappy: "What? Do you think you are too young? Do you look down on me?"

The salesman stood up and tidied up the truck: "I'm not looking down on you. It's hard to find a way to break the boundary, but these three or five people are too few. Besides, you are the balancer now. If you want to send three or five people across the boundary, you don't have to spend so much money." A big setback, right?”

Li Banfeng said: "The people I want to send are not just three or five people. I want to pick up all the three people in San Toucha."

Upon hearing this, the salesman became interested: "This is a big business, a business with ups and downs, and a very difficult business. Do you want to do it?"

"I want to! But it's hard to find this way. I don't know anything about San Toucha."

The salesman took a candy from the truck and handed it to Li Banfeng: "I know a lot about San Toucha. We can do business together, but at least 200 people have to cross the bridge across the boundary at a time. "

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and nodded: "Give me more time."

The salesman pushed up the cart and said, "You have plenty of time, but the foreigner doesn't have much time left. He made Desong Cliff look like this. I wonder where he can find someone."

Tritik went to a new land, a very remote new land.

In this new land, there are endless farmlands, hard-working farmers, and endless hunters. When they reached the village, Cui Tike asked all the way and finally found Zhang Wanlong.

"Mr. Zhang, I finally found you!" Cuitike was very excited.

Zhang Wanlong looked at Cui Tike carefully and smiled in astonishment: "Have we met this foreign friend?" Cui Tike was stunned: "Of course we have, and I bought seeds from you. "

Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said: "You must have mistaken the wrong person. I never sell seeds to others."

This attitude was unacceptable to Cui Tik. He took out a few seeds from his arms and said, "You sold these to me at the beginning. You shouldn't have any impression, right?" Zhang Wanlong took the seeds and looked at them carefully. Hui: "The appearance of the seeds is somewhat similar to the ones I cultivated, but I really didn't sell it to you." "Then who else could have sold it to me?"

"Maybe it's them." Zhang Wanlong greeted towards the cornfield, and two people who looked exactly like Zhang Wanlong came closer. Zhang Wanlong introduced: "I grew these two crops. I may pretend to be my identity and do some business that I shouldn't do."

As he spoke, Zhang Wanlong lowered his face and said to the other two Zhang Wanlongs: "Did you sell the seeds to others?" The other two Zhang Wanlongs shook their heads repeatedly: "We have never sold them. Brother Long has rules and the seeds cannot be exported. Sell."

The two Zhang Wanlongs refused to admit it, and Zhang Wanlong called a dozen more Zhang Wanlongs: "Which of you sold the seeds to him?" All Zhang Wanlongs shook their heads and denied: "We have never sold seeds."

Cuitike frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? Do you have a price requirement?"

Zhang Wanlong shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't sell seeds, so how can I tell the price? It's just that I have grown too many crops. It is inevitable that someone will break my rules and sell the seeds to you.

This matter must be investigated slowly. You wait in the village for a while. I will ask my wife to light a fire to cook. When the hunters come back, we will compare them one by one. This matter must be investigated to the bottom of everything. . "

How could Tritik have time to check this with him?

Even if it is found out, this matter will not be of any help to Tritik. In desperation, Tritik left the village.

Xiao Genzi came closer and asked Zhang Wanlong, Brother Zhang, why don't we do this business? "

"We need to do business, but it depends on who we do it with." Zhang Wanlong took out an antenna from the drawer. "I asked my friend at the radio station to buy this. It's a good thing!" He took a pumpkin and found a syringe. , gave the pumpkin a shot.

After the injection, he took a drill and drilled a hole in the pumpkin. "Hmph~" the pumpkin hummed twice.

Zhang Wanlong quickly comforted him: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, I've taken an anesthetic." Pumpkin calmed down a little.

Zhang Wanlong picked up the antenna and said to Pumpkin: "This antenna is a bit cold, please bear with it."

When the antenna was inserted, the pumpkin trembled again. Zhang Wanlong adjusted the position of the antenna, and some sound came out of the pumpkin. At first, the sound was a bit noisy. After several adjustments, the sound gradually became clear.

Xiao Genzi said in confusion: "What is this?"

"Radio!" Zhang Wanlong wiped the pumpkin juice on his hands, "I tell you, this is technology. You can't study gold juice every day, you have to study science and technology." Xiao Genzi still didn't quite understand the concept of technology. In Pro State, very few people can hear the radio.

He squatted next to the pumpkin and listened carefully for a long time. It happened to be GG time, and the host was recommending a newly launched kitchen knife.

Xiao Genzi snorted: "This science and technology are all deceiving. If this kitchen knife can cut iron like mud, then why do we need a machete to kill people?"

The host just said this: "With this kitchen knife, you can be cutting vegetables in the kitchen in the last second, and you can take someone's head in the next second, ensuring that you catch them off guard." Xiao Genzi snorted again: "I stir the soup in the last second, and pour the sauce in the next second, and I can also catch them off guard! What's the use of this science and technology?"

Zhang Wanlong smiled and said: "Why are you competing with a GG? Wait a minute, the serious stuff hasn't come out yet."

After waiting for half an hour, the GG ended, and a sweet voice came out from the pumpkin: "Dear listeners, Ah Hui is here to report the latest news of Desong Cliff for you. According to informed sources, Desong Cliff has encountered a rare plague, and tens of thousands of residents are in danger of life and death. The details are still under further investigation..."

Zhang Wanlong Long looked at Xiao Genzi and said, "Did you hear it now?"

Xiao Genzi nodded and said, "The movement of science and technology is really sweet."

"Sweet, right? It's Ah Hui's voice... Who told you this! Something happened in Desong Cliff, didn't you hear it? Then there was a plague, who do you think did it?" Genzi shook his head: "No matter who did it, it should have nothing to do with us, right?"

"That's hard to say," Zhang Wanlong said solemnly, "The plague is likely to be related to the sick cultivators. Lu Huazi is the ancestor of the sick cultivators, but he hasn't appeared for a long time. Wan Jinxian is also a sick cultivator, and there is no news about this person now.

The foreigner who came just now is also a sick cultivator. He is now looking for us to buy seeds. Who knows what he is going to do? We have to be prepared for this. If it is related to the Desong Cliff incident, we can't afford it."

Xiao Genzi looked at the radio pumpkin seriously, and silently remembered Zhang Wanlong's words in his heart.

He felt that he didn't know much about Zhang Wanlong, and there were many things to learn in the future.

The next day at noon, someone came to the village again. A man brought a box of dollars and placed it in front of Zhang Wanlong: "Brother Zhang, I came to buy something from you." Zhang Wanlong was stunned: "Brother, what's your name?"

The man introduced himself: "My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Yusheng. I'm from Moxiang Store. I want to buy some good seeds from you." Zhang Wanlong smiled and said: "You want to buy seeds too?"

The man was stunned: "Has anyone else come here?" "Yes."

"Who?"

"Don't worry about who it is, let me tell you the rules first. If you are interested in food, or fruits, or specialties from Xindi, you can pick any of these things, but I never sell seeds."

The man frowned: "Really not selling?" "No."

"Well, I came to the wrong place." The man left with the box. Little Genzi asked, "Can't we do business with this person?"

"Of course we can't do business with him," Zhang Wanlong said with a smile, "This person's surname is not Sun, but He. He is He Jiaqing, the eldest son of the He family. He used a disguise, but he couldn't hide it from my eyes. He Jiaqing and Li Qi don't get along. We can't offend our old customers for his business."

"That's right," Genzi nodded repeatedly, "Master Qi is one of us."

Zhang Wanlong looked outside the door: "This person is not easy to get rid of. He will definitely come again."

Genzi was quite disdainful: "Come if he wants, we won't sell him."

"If we don't sell him, he will take it himself. He Jiaqing is a thief. Most people don't know this."

When Little Genzi heard this, he picked up the spoon: "I will be guarding at home tomorrow. If he dares to come, I will give him a spoon. In the future, as long as he shows up, we can smell the smell."

"It's only a thousand days to be a thief, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? This trick doesn't work." Zhang Wanlong smiled and added a lock to the cellar. The next day, the two men came back from farm work, and Zhang Wanlong's two wives were cooking.

"Has anyone come here today?" Zhang Wanlong asked. "No one has come here!" The two wives answered in unison. The two went to the cellar to take a look.

Xiao Genzi checked the lock and said to Zhang Wanlong, "No one has touched this lock. He Jiaqing didn't come here." "That may not be the case." Zhang Wanlong took out a medicine bottle and dripped two drops of medicine on the lock.

After waiting for a while, a vine came out of the keyhole, and a palm-sized rose bloomed on the vine. A woman the size of an index finger stood on the center of the rose and saluted Zhang Wanlong.

Zhang Wanlong asked, "Did anyone touch you today?"

"Yes, a man came, his hands and feet were dishonest, and he touched me several times." Zhang Wanlong asked again, "Did he take the seeds?"

"He took them, and I didn't dare to stop him."

"No need to stop him, just take it!" Zhang Wanlong waved his hand gently, and the woman bowed again, the petals closed, the flower shrunk into the vine, the vine shrunk into the keyhole, and the lock returned to its previous appearance.

Genzi was not too surprised. He had been with Zhang Wanlong for so long, and he was used to this kind of thing.

What he is worried about now is the seeds: "Brother Zhang, let's first see how many seeds have been stolen by He Jiaqing."

"No need to look, just take whatever he wants. Those are all good seeds. If you sow melons, you will get melons, and if you sow beans, you will get beans. But he just can't grow what he wants." The next night, Zhang Wanlong and Genzi had two drinks and were about to prepare. While I was sleeping, someone came to buy seeds again.

Zhang Wanlong smiled: "It's really strange. Why do you come to me to buy seeds these two days?" No matter how much money the other party pays, the seeds just won't be sold!

The man didn't bother and got up and left. Zhang Wanlong asked Genzi: "We went to Lushui City a few days ago and bought a lot of newspapers. Do you remember where you put them?" Genzi remembered that Master Qi told him to read more newspapers. .

He brought a stack of newspapers from the backyard, and Zhang Wanlong carefully rummaged through them one by one.

His eyes stopped on a photo: "That's this person, his name is Du Wenming!"

Genzi and Zhang Wanlong knew a lot of words, and he read the news again: "Is this an outsider?"

"Yes, a foreigner," Zhang Wanlong looked solemn, "Why did he also come to me to buy seeds?"

Green Water City, Ye Tang Tea House, Mr. Kong Fang poured a cup of tea for Du Wenming: "Are you sure you found the right place?"

Du Wenming said: "The place is absolutely right. Cui Tike has indeed been here. The Chu family and the He family have plots around it. I have inquired about some rumors from them. This farming method is quite powerful. Li Qi learned from him I bought a lot of seeds.”

Mr. Kong Fang thought about the connection: "What is the purpose of that foreigner buying the seeds? He caused such a big trouble in Desong Cliff, does he want to use the seeds from Chongxiu to cover it up? This is too outrageous."

Du Wenming speculated: "Is it possible that the salesman doesn't want to take care of this matter?"

"It's impossible for him to ignore it. Desong Cliff is an upright land. He can't just watch this land disappear!" Mr. Kong Fang believed in his own judgment. "And even if the salesman doesn't care about it, Neizhou can't ignore it either. I heard that they have also invested a lot of money in Desong Cliff, so the matter cannot just end like this.”

Neizhou, Wujiang City.

Song Demei's second son, Yue Congde, was telling Master Fan, Master Lu and Master Bi about his experience at Desong Cliff. He has recounted this experience many times. In the past few days, eleven people have asked him about the incident.

Because of the epidemic, Yue Congde was initially locked in a cell and questioned through the wall by specialized personnel. Neizhou people had a special body structure and were extremely resistant to epidemics. However, because Cui Tike was a disease repairman, Disciple, they still took adequate precautions.

After a few days, there was no abnormality in Yue Congde. Their guard against him was also relaxed, and some people began to question him face to face. Now Yue Congde finally met the cabinet minister, and today was an important opportunity for him to express himself well.

But performance is performance, don't exaggerate. I've said it a dozen times before, but if I can't get the words right today, things will be in trouble. Three cabinet ministers sat on a chair, looking at Yue Congde with three heads on one body.

Master Fan spoke first: "Then those people drove out all the people in Desongya?" Yue Congde nodded repeatedly: "As far as I know, there is not a single one left."

"How did you come back?"

You can't tell the truth about this.

The real thing is that he admitted his identity to Cuitik and showed him the entrance to Neizhou, and Cuitik let him go.

Just the crime of revealing the entrance to Neizhou could cost him his life. Fortunately, before he came back, he had already thought of his excuse. He had repeated it more than a dozen times in the past two days, and he had already memorized it.

"The disease of the people of that country could not be affected by our bodies. I used disguise, pretended to have a rash on my body, and pretended to be dead among the corpses. At that time, too many people died in the village, and the people of that country did not show up one by one. Check, so you didn’t notice me,

After he left, I walked around the village and found that there was no one alive in the village. "Yue Congde suddenly paused, which made the three cabinet ministers a little suspicious.

Mr. Lu asked sternly: "Why did you feel guilty when you spoke just now?"

Yue Congde quickly explained: "I just didn't see anyone alive in Deyuan Village. I only guessed the situation in other villages."

There is no problem in saying this. How many people died in Desongya can still be investigated carefully. Even if Yue Congde is not accurate, the impact will not be too great.

The three adults were very satisfied with the result of this interrogation. Although the storm in Desong Cliff has calmed down, they still have two important gains. One is that Fan Cui Tike will be severely punished for his disobedience to the merchant; Tick's technique is ineffective against Neizhou people.

Green Water Beggar and Wan Jinxian have disappeared. If Cuitike died at the hands of the salesman, Puozhou would no longer be able to resist the epidemic. Even if the salesman spares Cuitik, his disease will not harm Neizhou people, and Neizhou does not have to worry about the disease from Puozhou.

Yue Congde received the reward. He took the silver reward and was about to leave Master Fan's mansion when he suddenly felt an itch on his back. He scratched it with his hand and felt that his back was not too flat.

What's going on?

Yue Congde's whole body tensed up instantly, and he felt his back getting more and more itchy. Don't scratch it, never scratch it again.

Is this a rash?

Nothing happened before, so why did you get a rash today? You must not let others see it, you must not...
