The setting sun reluctantly took away the last ray of light, and the sky slowly darkened.
Zhang Baoer sat cross-legged with the piano under the old willow tree, pressing the strings with his fingers, extinguishing the last remaining sound.
"Boss Niu, how much money do we have on hand now?"
"A little over 170,000..."
"That's it...it's much worse..."
Hong Qi lit the oil lamp in the main hall in the distance, and Zhang Baoer looked at the sparkling light on the water and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he smiled casually, pointed at the wind-wrinkled Lingbo and said to Niu Dexi who was standing behind him:
"A sharpened sword will not waste time in chopping firewood, and the evil sea must be crossed with a solid boat! Tomorrow we will enter the Death Mountains!"
Hearing this, Niu Dexi nodded hesitantly.
Perhaps sensing his hesitation, Zhang Baoer said without waiting for him to turn around:
"Perhaps you have guessed that I am injured, so you and Uncle Tiger will have to work hard this time."
Niu Dexi secretly exclaimed, and sure enough, his mouth was not slow at all:
"It's a great honor...it's just...it's just the Le family..."
Boom!
Zhang Baoer plucked a string and interrupted his worries:
"If my prediction is correct, they want to waste time with us, until she has a golden elixir monk in her family... Haha!"
Having said this, he stood up with a smile, turned around and looked at Niu Dexi and said:
"Promoting to Golden Elixir cannot be done in a hurry. One month is the minimum for all sorts of things, either success or failure... In other words, we may only have this one chance to make money!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Let's go! Let's go eat. After eating, we will go out and buy what we need."
"yes!"
...
"Sir! This is the 'Life-Basing Pavilion'. The Lu family's biggest industry is mainly engaged in armor!"
Niu Dexi pointed to a three-story building with bright lights and numerous people in the distance, covering an area of three or four acres, and bowed to Zhang Baoer and said.
Zhang Baoer nodded and walked over holding Xiao Ha who was sleeping.
As soon as he entered the door, a big man dressed as a waiter greeted him:
“A distinguished guest is here, do you want to sell goods or do some shopping?”
Zhang Baoer cursed, ‘Is there such a welcome guest?’, and then said calmly:
"This depends on your sincerity."
Such a loud tone, the man was stunned, glanced at Niu Dexi and Ruhu, and then looked at the three large rolls of leather carried by Yan Tie and others. Because of the distance and the hair facing inward, he didn't see any clues.
Niu Dexi didn't want to talk to him, so he said:
"You can't decide the big business, please invite the master of your pavilion!"
Pavilion Master? The man's eyes were full of joking at first, but when he saw that everyone was too lazy to look at him, he felt angry in his heart and said secretly: "Okay! As you wish! Hum, the pavilion will evict people by then.
When the time comes, I will argue with you again with a stick!"
then:
"this way please!"
He led Zhang Baoer and others through the crowded hall, to the second floor, and then to the third floor!
"Distinguished guests...please wait a moment, I will go to ask the master of the pavilion right away..."
"Stop being so nagging! Go quickly!"
After introducing Zhang Baoer and the others into a closed Accord, the man planned to say some polite words required by his profession, but his tone was not polite at all and exuded a strong aura of 'sarcasm', so Tang Tiantian endured it.
Unable to hold on any longer, she glared at him.
He didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be so 'rude', but he still endured it, clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves and turned around to leave.
Zhang Baoer glanced at his back, shook his head and didn't think much about it. He sat down on the bench like everyone else - there are people everywhere who bully the weak and are afraid of force. He can't just kill every one he sees.
?
Not long after, a burst of footsteps came from outside. The footsteps were so loud that the floor was as loud as a drum!
"Pavilion Master, it's right inside!"
"Well..."
After the two exchanged words, a fat man with a shiny face walked in.
This man is not tall, but very thick, with a waist circumference of at least 200. He is not too old, about thirty years old, and has a mustache. Now, he is wiping sweat while staring at Tang Tiantian's hands with bulging eyes.
The meat skewers on the table were swallowing hard... and everyone was stunned to see it.
Tang Tiantian seemed to realize it, and hurriedly hid the kebab behind her back as if to guard against thieves. The pavilion master finally looked away, but he did not look at the faces of everyone, but looked at the wolf skin placed on the floor.
.
Zhang Baoer labeled this man as 'dedicated and professional' from the bottom of his heart, because his eyes quickly flashed with light. If Zhang Baoer had not had excellent eyesight, he would not have been able to detect it.
After the fat man's eyes became calm, he quickly glanced around the crowd, then moved to Zhang Baoer's body, cupped his fists and said with a cheerful smile:
"We have a distinguished guest coming to our door. The road is too wide to welcome us. Please forgive me...Why are you still sneering? Are you too busy?! Didn't you see there is no tea and barbecue here?!"
These two paragraphs are very interesting, especially the last one.
The meaning of the first paragraph is: I am fat and it is difficult to walk.
The meaning of the second paragraph is: This blind thing offended you, I pointed it out and scolded him, please forgive me; moreover, I saw Tang Tiantian’s meat skewers and I was greedy, so I simply asked this bitch to get some.
Entertain everyone and yourself.
Zhang Baoer was sure that the fat man was very shrewd, and he was also sure that ordinary people would not be able to understand the profound meaning of these words. However, the fat man still said it regardless of the face of his subordinates, which shows that he is a very principled person.
Although it is not easy to discuss business with such a person, he likes it!
"No problem! Master, please take a look at the goods first!"
When the waiter withdrew with a pale face, and as soon as the fat man sat down with difficulty, he waved to Hong Qi and Bao Guang to untie the wolf skin.
The fat man nodded and smiled. His eyes calmly scanned the entire tattered silver wolf skin, the half intact wolf king skin and the three intact gray wolf skins. Then he cast his gaze into Zhang Baoer's eyes.
Looked up.
Zhang Baoer also looked at him, smiled, and just touched Xiao Ha's fur without saying anything.
"Eh......"
After looking at him for a while, the fat man suddenly sighed and said:
"It seems I won't be able to make much money..."
Zhang Baoer raised his head happily and said with a smile:
"uncertain!"
"Oh?! How do you say this?!"
The fat man's sad look disappeared immediately, and he was curiously waiting for Zhang Baoer's next words. Zhang Baoer did not give any advice, but pointed to the wolf skin on the ground and said:
"The road must be walked step by step!"
Hearing this, the fat man's face fell and he began to think deeply.
Everyone was confused after hearing this exchange, and they all realized that 'if you don't understand, it means you are awesome', and everyone was filled with excitement and admiration...except of course Tang Tiantian, who was busy eating meat.
If she doesn't understand, she will definitely ask immediately.
Zhang Baoer is not only smiling on his face, but also smiling in his heart:
"Play Tai Chi with me?! Hey, why don't you ask me how many movies I watched and how many years I spent on the bottom floor with my sister!"
Time passed slowly, and the fat man was still deep in thought. It was not until he saw the two maids putting down the tea and meat and exiting that he swallowed his saliva and looked at Tang Tiantian's hand reaching out to grab the meat with a pained face:
"If it were anyone else, I would give you 188,000 at most; as for you...I would give you 266,000! It can't be any higher!"
Zhang Baoer was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so valuable, but he only said lightly:
"good!"
sip!
The fat man took a big bite of meat, stared at Zhang Baoer, and said in a vague voice:
"it's your turn!"
Zhang Baoer thought for a while, pointed at Yan Tie and the others and said:
"Give them each a good set of clothes. I heard that you also have weapons here, so I won't go to Jinshifang. You don't have to pay me a penny!"
boom!
As soon as Zhang Baoer finished speaking, the fat man slapped the hand holding the meat skewers on the table, stood up and laughed:
"Haha, so happy! I have made you a friend!"
Zhang Baoer was about to smile at him, but his eyes narrowed.
The next moment, a gust of wind sounded, the door bolt broke and the door opened. An old man in blue suddenly appeared on the threshold:
"Pavilion Master!"
The fat man quickly waved his chubby hand and said to him:
"It's okay! Third uncle... Spring Garden is preparing a banquet!"
Hearing this, the old man in blue nodded, closed the door and left.
Zhang Baoer took the time to take a deep look at him, because the old man in blue was very powerful and was definitely a golden elixir monk!
When he looked away, the fat man asked with a smile:
"What do you call me, brother?"
"Zhang Baoer!"
...
Yan Tie and the others followed the people sent by Fatty downstairs with smiles on their faces. Zhang Baoer took Tang Tiantian and took a slow step back and asked quietly:
"Tang Tian,..."
"It's not Tang Tian, it's Tang Tiantian!"
"This... we'll discuss it later! Brother asked you, didn't Niu Dexi say when we finished the meal, 'Golden elixir monks are equivalent to early and middle-level spiritual beasts'! Brother was confused at that time, and even more puzzled now. I
Why do you feel that as a spiritual beast in the middle stage, even if you become your true form, you can't defeat that person just now?"
Tang Tiantian chuckled and pointed at Zhang Baoer's head and said:
"Brother is so stupid! Everything has its own strengths, and we, the Sky Fox clan, are not good at fighting head-on!"
Is there such a saying? Zhang Baoer was stunned and quickly asked:
"What are you good at?"
Tang Tiantian retracted her hand, raised her chin, clenched her fists, grinned her white teeth and said:
"Spiritual power! Illusion! Hehe... If someone uses his ability, he can tear that old man apart with just a bite of meat! But... it can't be used unless absolutely necessary. It's too troublesome to restore mental power!"
Zhang Baoer was suddenly startled and then stunned again. After a while, he looked at Tang Tiantian with a strange expression and said:
"Brother doesn't know mental power and feels that he is useless. He is no match for that old man. But why...can he beat you to a black and blue face? Have you never used mental power?"
This time it was Tang Tiantian's turn to be stunned. When they were about to reach the second floor, Tang Tiantian beat her head and screamed "Ahhh" and then said angrily:
"How did they know?! Brother, you are a freak! I used my mental power once when I was beaten by you for the first time, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect on you! Humph! They ignored you!"
After saying that, she stamped her feet and ran towards Duoduo, who was looking around with his eyes wide open, leaving Zhang Baoer alone holding Xiaoha and continuing to have a headache.
[Author's digression]: Let's talk about the chapter names: I am too tired of poems, lyrics and songs, and the writing is not only lame but also obscure. After thinking of Hongchen's words a few days ago, I decided to do the right thing with tears - I will try my best to name the chapters in the future.
