Three or four idle men, led by Sun Weixing, were gearing up to go up the mountain to catch scorpions.
At this time, Wu Xiaojiang and his wife Jiang Fengjiao walked over from the road.
"Uh, Sun Weixing, what are you doing, not playing cards?"
Wu Xiaojiang asked curiously.
"What kind of cards do we want to play to make a lot of money?"
Sun Weixing said proudly.
"Make big money, make any big money, take me with you."
Wu Xiaojiang said flatteringly.
Jiang Fengjiao also smiled at Sun Weixing and said: "Brother Weixing, do you have any good ways to make money? Don't forget Xiao Jiang, haven't you always been close poker friends? Help him."
Originally, when they came back from Gaoliang, they were a little uneasy and always felt unsteady.
Therefore, Wu Xiaojiang suggested going to the canteen to buy a bottle of liquor and drink it back to calm his mind.
Jiang Fengjiao immediately agreed.
This time she was also quite frightened.
Especially after listening to the advice of Master Qin, the snake catcher of Taohua Village, they became even more frightened, fearing that some snake spirit would crawl over and harm them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came to the canteen, they saw Sun Weixing waiting for idlers, chatting with Zhang Lianhua, the second wife of Cao, and others.
"Oh, you want to make money with us, fine, just give me a pack of cigarettes first, and I'll take you there."
Sun Weixing rolled his eyes and immediately said slyly.
"That's no problem, even if you drink alcohol. However, I can only drink white wine, because I only drink white wine."
Wu Xiaojiang said.
He asked Zhou Facai to take out a pack of Huangye cigarettes worth three yuan and a bottle of Fenhe Daqu worth ten yuan from the cracked glass cabinet.
"Well, I'm going to invite you guys to smoke and drink. Boss Zhou, bring me some disposable cups."
Wu Xiaojiang held a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and said carelessly.
"What's the point of just drinking, Xiaojiang? Just pack a bag of peanuts and I'll tell you how to make money. You know, Sun Weixing and the others are the ones who told me how to make money."
Second Mistress Cao looked at the wine bottle in Wu Xiaojiang's hand, grinned with big yellow teeth.
"Second Grandma Cao, you are being unreasonable. You actually want to compete with me for business. OK, you are an old man and I won't argue with you. Well, Xiao Jiang, give me a cup. I'll drink first."
Wu Xiaojiang followed his words and asked Zhou Facai to give him a bag of vinegar peanuts worth ten yuan, tore it open and poured it on the small bench.
Jiang Fengjiao saw this and felt pain in her heart, but she could only smile and say: "Eat, Second Mistress Cao, eat quickly, Xiao Jiang, pour half a glass of wine for Second Mistress Cao, don't let her get drunk."
Grandma, tell us if there are any ways to make money."
Second Mistress Cao first took a sip of wine, then ate a peanut, then stretched out two fingers and said to Wu Xiaojiang, "Where's the cigarette?"
Wu Xiaojiang immediately took out a cigarette, held it between Grandma Cao's fingers, and lit it for her with a lighter.
That flattering look is just like that of a slave.
"The way to make money is to catch scorpions."
Mistress Cao puffed out her smoke, opened the wine compartment with satisfaction, and said disapprovingly.
"Catch scorpions. How could it be possible? That was all a few years ago. I guess all the scorpions were caught at that time. Where can we catch scorpions now? Besides, Jiulong Mountain is under control and cannot be entered.
Once you enter, you are breaking the law."
Wu Xiaojiang was startled for a moment, and then asked doubtfully.
"I'm not sure about this place to catch scorpions, but people can earn more than 30,000 yuan a night by catching scorpions, so you can do something like this too."
Second Grandma Cao said.
"What, you can make more than 30,000 yuan in one night, how is that possible, are you robbing money?"
Jiang Fengjiao was startled and stared at Mistress Cao with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, Mistress Cao is right. Someone made 30,000 yuan just by catching scorpions in one night."
Zhang Lianhua, who had been silent all this time, grabbed a handful of peanuts, pinched them one by one and put them in her mouth to eat.
"Oh, Wu Xiaojiang, believe it or not, you two parents-in-law, we are going back now to prepare the tools to catch scorpions. Do you want to catch them with us?"
Sun Weixing drank the liquor in his glass in one gulp, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and was about to leave.
"Go, of course, but this scorpion has been caught before. Where can I catch it? Otherwise, go to Jiulong Mountain. If you are caught, you will be sentenced."
Wu Xiaojiang said timidly.
"Um, Mrs. Cao, tell me, who is that person who makes more than 30,000 yuan a night? Is he from our village?"
Jiang Fengjiao asked without giving up.
She really didn't believe it.
It would take a family like theirs more than two years to earn this 30,000 yuan.
But other people can make money in just one night, so how can she believe it?
"Who else could it be? It's that fool Lin Feng who owes us money. By the way, he has money now, Jiang Fengjiao, you can find him and ask for the account."
"Hey, what's going on with your faces? They've become so ugly."
Zhang Lianhua stared at the young couple and asked curiously.
"Well, that's okay, but as friends and satellites, if you want to catch scorpions, it's okay. But there's one place you can't go."
Wu Xiaojiang struggled with his expression, then took a sip of wine and said to Sun Weixing and others while he was drunk.
"Xiao Jiang, don't say it, don't you remember what Master Qin said?"
Jiang Fengjiao immediately covered Wu Xiaojiang's mouth and told him not to say anything.
"What's going on? You two parents-in-law are so surprised. What are you going to do?"
Sun Weixing said displeasedly.
"That is, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. What are you afraid of? Is it about the stupid Lin Feng family?"
Zhang Lianhua also asked curiously.
"Fengjiao, it's okay. We said it to do a good deed and let everyone pay attention to safety."
Wu Xiaojiang took another sip of wine and said to Sun Weixing and other idlers: "You must not go to Lin Feng's cornfield. Because there are weird things there, big weird things. I can only tell you this, I can't tell you anything else.
Said, I am afraid of retribution."
"Weird, what's weird? Is there a monster in the cornfield?"
Second Mistress Cao was startled, then blew out a puff of smoke and started making fun of her.
"Xiao Jiang, let's go back. You're already drunk. Well, everyone, please sit down. We'll excuse you."
Jiang Fengjiao took away a small half bag of peanuts and a small bottle of white wine, took Wu Xiaojiang and walked home.
"Weird, what's so weird in broad daylight?"
Second Grandma Cao was a little puzzled.
"Is it weird? But I don't believe it. I want to see what weird thing it is."
Sun Weixing became stubborn and flicked the cigarette in his hand onto the road. He led three idle men and walked towards the fields without believing in evil.
