In the picture, there is an old man, wearing a broken hat, holding a stick in his hand, and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He looks dirty. In terms of age, he must be about sixty years old.
As soon as Wang Xiaoliuer saw him, his anger subsided a lot. Looking at the video again, he saw something hanging in front of the red rope under the tree.
That thing was not very big, it was small, maybe a little bigger than a finger, but there were a lot of beard-like things on it, and it did look like ginseng.
It's just that the thing was fiery red, and when it appeared in the camera, it flashed in a flash, so Wang Xiaoliu'er couldn't see clearly what that thing looked like.
Wang Xiaoliuer remained silent. After looking at the camera, he took out the memory card inside, then used the OTG data cable to transfer the video to his mobile phone. He put away the red rope and other traps, and turned around to go down the mountain.
.
He was not in a hurry, but instead rushed to the large medicinal wholesale market down the mountain as if he knew what he was doing.
This ginseng seemed to have been stolen around four o'clock this morning, because there was a time lag in the video.
Wang Xiaoliu'er would be lying if he said he had no regrets at all, because if it hadn't been for going to Han Bing's place, he might have gotten up early to take a look at around four o'clock in the morning, and he would definitely be able to get it.
As for the red ginseng, that can almost stop this ginseng thief.
Wang Xiaoliu'er looked at the surrounding terrain and knew that it was definitely not an accident that there was ginseng in this place. This place was actually a dark corner under the lamp. It would be difficult for ordinary people to think that there was ginseng in this place. People who could come here would probably come here.
Ninth, it’s because I accidentally discovered something good here before and came here to look for it nearby again.
There are many kinds of ginseng. In terms of levels, it can only be said to be a precious medicinal material. In fact, this precious medicinal material does not have any particularly powerful spirituality. Even though it is old and big, it can be called the king of ginseng or something, but in essence
, which is a radish-like plant. This kind of thing is usually nourished by the land.
, to put it bluntly, it is possible for them to grow together if the environment is suitable. Therefore, it was relatively common in the past to continue to find some large ginseng near a large ginseng. Considering how old the old man is, it is estimated that
Well, even if he is not a member of the Gang, he is definitely a descendant of the Gang.
Thinking about this, it's quite hateful. It's impossible for the descendants of Shenbang not to know the rules of Shenbang. When he saw the red ginseng hanging in the air, he didn't hesitate. He just saw that no one was around and stole it away.
, which shows that this person has done similar things a lot.
People who don't bite them when there are too many lice, don't worry about too many debts, and do too many bad things have already become numb and don't take it seriously.
But Wang Xiaoliu'er is quite wise in his heart, because Wang Xiaoliu'er knows that most of the people who collect herbs in the mountains are not from outside, but are local regulars.
It's easy to deal with regular customers, because the audience for medicinal materials is very small. Basically, the people who resell these medicinal materials all year round are known to those who collect them.
Wang Xiaoliuer went directly to the medicinal wholesale market.
To put it bluntly, this place is a place for collecting and selling medicinal materials. It's okay to call it a transfer station. Basically, when the medicinal farmers have good things in their hands, they will send them here.
Wang Xiaoliu'er has been here several times before, so he is familiar with it. It is relatively early today, and many houses are not actually open. Fortunately, there are still people in the house that Wang Xiaoliuer goes to most.
He parked the small electric car in the alley, locked it, and walked to the store.
As soon as I opened the door and walked in, I saw the old shopkeeper sitting at the small dining table eating fried dough sticks and soy milk, which was relatively simple. Together with the old shopkeeper, there were two waiters.
When the old shopkeeper saw Wang Xiaoliu'er coming, he quickly stood up because he was familiar with her, and said, "Hey, young man, why are you so early today?"
"Ah, it's okay, I'm here to see if there's anything good! Just take a stroll!"
"Then you take a look first, and I'll deal with you here first."
"You are busy with your business!"
Wang Xiaoliu'er said hello and continued eating over there. Wang Xiaoliu'er pretended to look at the goods casually. They were all local mountain products, mainly medicinal materials, and some mushrooms. Wang Xiaoliu'er stood aside.
After taking a look, he didn't find any great ginseng, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Old man, have any good products come out of our mountains recently?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head, "These mountains are full of those things! It's nothing different from before!"
"Don't you have any rare things that you can use?"
"Rare stuff? What do you mean?"
"That's it, relatively valuable medicinal materials and so on."
Wang Xiaoliu'er was walking around the room with his hands behind his back. A waiter was holding a pancake in his hand. He suddenly tilted his body and looked Wang Xiaoliu'er up and down in front of him. "Sir, we went out here two days ago."
Do you have any ideas about buying a big ginseng? It’s not cheap!”
Wang Xiaoliuer was confused for a moment, but remained silent. He turned around and looked at the guy, "Big ginseng? What big ginseng?"
"The radish-shaped ginseng! That's awesome!"
The guy grinned in an awesome way.
Wang Xiaoliuer chuckled and shook his head, pretending not to believe it, "A ginseng as big as a radish? Stop making trouble, it's not really a radish!"
"Hey, my God, what do we do? Can't you tell the difference between ginseng and radish? Besides, a radish can be sold for hundreds of thousands! What are you thinking!"
The waiter was looking proud of himself. When he turned around, he found that the old man was glaring at him. His expression changed, as if he sensed something was wrong. He lowered his head and fell silent.
Wang Xiaoliu'er drooped his eyelids and didn't look over, but after seeing everything clearly, Wang Xiaoliu'er continued to pretend not to believe it, curled his lips, turned around and looked at the guy, "With the current market situation, what else can I do?"
Are you selling ginseng at such a high price? Who is so rich? Is it easy to sell such expensive things?"
"Hey, don't listen to their nonsense! They are all legends and add fuel to the fire. Who knows what's going on!"
The old man grinned with disdain on his face, but Wang Xiaoliuer couldn't help but frown slightly, leaning his arms on the counter, "Brother, is this true or false? When did it happen?
I was here two days ago and I’ve never heard of such a thing!”
"Just what happened yesterday!"
Seeing that he couldn't get around it, the old man grinned and said, "Yesterday, our boss behind us did harvest such a big ginseng tree. Many people saw it at the time, but I didn't. I heard them say that someone took it.
We found the ginseng king here. He is quite big and must be hundreds of years old at least."
"Really?"
Wang Xiaoliuer was doubtful, "Whoever took it away, I'll go quietly!"
"The one at the head is the biggest one here! You'll know who it is after you walk around for a while!"
The old man pursed his lips and said, "What, you have some thoughts on this thing?"
"Ah, I want to take a look. If you get it right, just study it. The problem is, if you get it right, it's okay. If you don't get it right, let's talk about it differently."
"It's not easy for you to get that big ginseng."
The old man pondered for a long time, "That ginseng now has an owner. I know that store. If this thing is in someone else's hands, you don't even have to think about it!"
"Didn't you just say that you received more than a dozen? Now it's dozens more?"
"You see what you said, rare things are valuable!"
After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this matter is quite controversial. It's a good thing. Sometimes it depends on fate!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Why else? I accidentally missed it!"
The old shopkeeper sighed, "When that man came here to sell this ginseng, he also came to our place! I was not there at the time, and the clerk in the store received me. I was out doing errands. I couldn't come back, and the clerk couldn't see it.
If I was sure about this thing, I told him to ask people to wait for me. I would be back in the afternoon. As a result, they didn’t wait and went directly to someone else’s house! If I had been there at that time, there was nothing I could say to make this thing easier for them.
ah!"
Wang Xiaoliuer chuckled, "Do you know the ginseng seller?"
"We know each other, but we're not familiar with each other!"
"What kind of person is he?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"Ah, it's okay, I'm just curious! I just wonder what kind of person is so lucky!"
"He's an old man, over sixty years old! It's not surprising that he can find that ginseng. Among the people here, I estimate that he is the only one who has that ability."
"Why?"
"Why? His family used to specialize in this! From his great-grandfather to his father, in the past, he was always mentioned as a reference! There is work for him!"
"I'll go, is it true or not?"
"Then you see, Mr. Zhao, the old boss of Maitreya Mountain, is number one here!"
After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xiaoliu'er again, "What, you want to meet him and see if you can get something good from him?"
"I have this idea, how about you give me a clue?"
Wang Xiaoliuer leaned to the side and smiled faintly, "If you can help me, according to the rules, I can get you some money for tea. It may not be much, but it will definitely not be a loss for you."
"
"That's not necessary!"
The old shopkeeper wiped his mouth and said, "I can tell, brother, you always aim for good things every time you come here, you are very powerful!"
"I also resell some and use some for myself."
Wang Xiaoliuer hugged his shoulders and walked over, "There is a financial backer behind me, good stuff, not bad for money!"
"I see it, I see it."
The old shopkeeper said, looking at the waiter on the side, "Hey, you, call Mr. Zhao and ask him if he has any hard goods recently! Tell him that he has a big customer!"
"Eh!"
The clerk nodded, and immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a number, "Hey, Uncle Zhao, hello, hello! My little horse! Yes, yes! Well, our shopkeeper is asking you, do you have any in your hands recently?
What a hard product! There is a big customer here!"
"What kind of big customer is this?"
On the phone, an old man's voice was low, "Old customer, or new customer?"
"Regular customers, you have bought a lot of things from us!"
The guy was pretty good at it, and grinned, "This man is a rich man, and he's not short of money. Do you understand? When he comes, he comes here specifically for the good stuff. I haven't done any business in the past two days."
Okay, our shopkeeper is in trouble, and we want to ask you if you have any hard dick in your hand, something big!"
"There are big ones, but the question is, can they be priced affordably?"
The old man sounded quite arrogant, and his tone of voice was a bit disdainful.
"Uncle Zhao, what price do you have in mind?"
"You don't have dozens of them, but you still want hard goods? I think you just want to eat shit!"
"Dozens, dozens, that's no problem!"
The clerk glanced at Wang Xiaoliu'er with a questioning look. Wang Xiaoliu'er remained silent but nodded, which meant that money was not an issue.
"But, Uncle Zhao, let me tell you something. This serious man is not short of money, but this man is not a stickler. He is a knowledgeable person! Do you have goods worth dozens of dollars in your hand?
?”
"snort!"
On the other side of the phone, the old man snorted coldly, "You kid, you look down on others. You, Uncle Zhao, and I are considered to be the number one person in Maitreya Mountain, right? You don't even have a few big mallets in your hands!"
"What, you got a big mallet again?"
"nonsense!"
The old man hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice, "I have something in my hand, which is better than a big mallet! The fixed price is thirty! No bargaining!"
"Thirty!"
The clerk looked at Wang Xiaoliu'er, and Wang Xiaoliu'er gestured twice. The clerk understood, "Uncle Zhao, what kind of thing costs so much?"
"I can't tell you the specifics! Ask him if he is sincere! If he is sincere, ask him to bring money into the mountains!"
"No, I'm talking about that Lao Zhao!"
The old shopkeeper couldn't stand listening anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? Three hundred thousand, and you have to let people take the money into the mountains! Are you crazy?"
"Don't worry about it! This thing in my hand is worth ten or three hundred thousand!"
"What is it?"
"I can't say that, all in all, it's a good thing!"
"Minato!"
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, you have to let people take a look! Are you afraid of seeing people? Take the money and go into the mountains!"
"Don't worry about it. Just tell him over there! Will he come or not?"
"I said, Lao Zhao, don't be ridiculous, this is a big customer of ours!"
"Nonsense, I'm not a big customer, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Stop talking nonsense, I still have to sleep here!"
"Eh!"
"beep."
The phone hung up.
The old shopkeeper grinned and looked at Wang Xiaoliu'er with his mobile phone. Wang Xiaoliu'er pretended to be curious, "No, this guy is quite awesome! He opened his mouth and got 300,000 yuan! He wants me to go into the mountains with cash!"
Oh my god, something is wrong! Could this be a trap for me?"
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he also grinned, "I don't know what he was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't go!"
"No, how about this? I'll ask someone to go with me! I really want to see what good stuff is out there, it's so mysterious!"
Wang Xiaoliu'er said and took out the phone. He didn't have time to withdraw money, so he called Jin Biao directly. After a while, one of Jin Biao's guys drove over. When he got out of the car, he nodded to Wang Xiaoliu'er.
, looking very respectful, "Hey, Mr. Six!"
"Where's the money?"
"It's in the car!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
"Eh!"
The clerk in the store and the old shopkeeper looked at each other and followed them out. Jin Biao's clerk looked at those people and said nothing. He opened the trunk and saw a handbag inside. Inside the bag was a bulging bag.
.
He opened the zipper and found it was full of banknotes and cash.
The two old shopkeepers looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes shining brightly.
Wang Xiaoliuer calmly turned over the pages twice, "How much is this?"
"Thirty! What I just mentioned about the company's finance is a lot!"
"Um!"
Wang Xiaoliu'er nodded, looked at the old shopkeeper, then locked the trunk, "Old man, I've got the money."
Got it, got it!
The old shopkeeper took out his cell phone and said, "Excuse me, please come in!"
"Okay."
The old shopkeeper took the phone and went directly inside. He came out after a while, his face was flushed, and he was so happy from inside to outside. "Old Zhao said that his leg was injured and it was not convenient for him to go down the mountain! Like this
, I asked someone to take you into the mountains to find him! You guys met and traded face to face! What do you think?"
