This kind of scene... is too familiar to Li Ruochu.
He has long understood the depth of human desires. As long as the scented bait is offered... they will definitely be happy with it and step into the trap of hunting, unable to extricate themselves.
However, Li Ruochu would not remind Miss Mei. He had seen too many such examples.
"Very good." "She" said: "Pay the deposit in advance and I will deliver the finished doll to you one week later."
"As long as you have that doll..." Meimi looked excited: "Can you really live forever, right?"
"Yes. You can always have...the skin you have now, as long as you abide by the agreement."
"I know! I know!"
Obviously, Li Ruochu looked at the ecstatic Meimi and knew what she was thinking.
She didn't understand what the words "abiding by the agreement" meant at all.
"Miss Mei, I'll take you down to rest."
After walking out, Meimi was still very happy.
Twenty thousand oceans is a terrifying astronomical figure for an ordinary person. But for Meimi, who has a rich family and is a best-selling author, being able to exchange it for eternal life is a big deal no matter how you look at it.
A particularly cost-effective business. She had witnessed herself being shot in the chest by a Japanese soldier, but miraculously resurrected from the dead. Naturally, she would not doubt the Bai family's ability to do it.
"Seven days later..." Meimi looked at Li Ruochu excitedly and said, "I said... Ruochu, I will take you out to eat today. I have never been to HB Province before..."
"I have to be responsible for sorting out the accounts. I am responsible for all the accounting work of the Bai family."
"You are Mr. Accountant."
"According to Westerners, it should be an accountant. Now I will take you to sign the contract and pay the deposit. And, before leaving here, Miss Mei, you must stay in the White House."
"Isn't it?"
"This is a rule. I'm sorry. Besides, we have taken over the body, so you can rest assured."
"I see……"
"Miss Mei..."
"Um?"
"After you go back this time, don't come to the north again. The current situation is too chaotic..."
Hearing this, Meimi's originally excited expression turned cold.
"In the future...I can't come and see you again?"
"I'm sorry... Unless you have business with us, it's best not for us to meet again."
Meimi stood there, looked at Li Ruochu, and then said: "I... what if I want you to work in my father's company? You can continue to be responsible for the financial position. No matter how much salary is offered to you here, I
I will definitely give you a higher price.”
Li Ruochu shook his head slightly.
"No need."
"I can stay the same from now on!" Meimi took a step closer to Li Ruochu and said, "Just like you!"
"What does Miss Mei mean?"
"I will never grow old or ugly again..."
Li Ruochu subconsciously took a step back, revealing
"Miss Mei, things in this world cannot always go as one wishes."
…
Seven days later.
Li Ruochu handed a beautifully decorated box to Meimi.
"Ms. Mei, this is your custom-made doll. As long as you keep the doll with you, it will not exceed a hundred meters of your body... From the moment you touch the doll, you will not grow older or older.
If you get sick again, even if you are seriously injured, you will not die."
"Let me see..." Meimi was about to open the box, but was stopped by Li Ruochu.
"Miss Mei, I have to remind you. You promised us that you were willing to take risks."
"Well, what is the risk?"
"This puppet, you just need to place it a hundred meters away from you."
"Well, then...remember the terms of the contract, right? The agreement that you must abide by after purchasing the doll."
Meimi nodded after hearing what Li Ruochu said.
After Li Ruochu finished speaking, he emphasized: "As long as you abide by this precaution in the contract, then you can enjoy immortality forever. And this doll, no matter how many years has passed, will always be as new as before, and it will never be the same.
be damaged."
"But, in this way, you can... save 30,000 yuan?"
"It's not hard to do, is it?"
Meimi nodded and said: "It's really not difficult, but..."
"The contract has been made, and you must abide by this rule."
"If I don't comply... what will be the consequences?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Now, you can open the box. Besides, it's useless for you to regret it now. Even if you pay another 30,000 yuan, we can't make a new doll for you.
"
Meimi slowly opened the box.
"Oh My God……"
There is a beautifully crafted and lifelike doll placed inside.
The doll was an extremely cute and beautiful girl, and Meimi even felt that it was somewhat similar to herself.
She reached into the box and stroked the doll.
"This..." Meimi raised her head and said to Li Ruochu in surprise: "It feels like real skin and hair..."
"You can absolutely trust 'her' craftsmanship."
"All the dolls were made by the madam herself?" Meimi asked curiously: "Or is it just the madam who made this one..."
"No. Any customer who comes to buy a doll will be made by 'she' herself. There is no other person in the Bai family who has such ability."
Meimi picked up the doll and couldn't put it down immediately.
"We will give you the box as a gift. If one day in the future, you are tired of your immortal life, then just bury the doll underground. You cannot throw it away at will. We will recycle it. After that, you will start little by little.
Growing old... Of course, the premise is that you do not violate the agreement in the process."
"Well, that's natural..."
"Also..." Li Ruochu emphasized again, "You may find it verbose, but...if anything happens if you don't abide by the provisions of the contract, Baifu will not bear any responsibility."
Meimi looked at the doll and suddenly said: "If I pay 50,000 yuan, don't I need to take the risk?"
"In fact... there are risks, but they are borne in a relatively safer way. No matter how much you pay, there is no cost."
"I know...I feel a little better."
"Then, Miss Mei, I'll give it to you."
Just when Li Ruochu was about to send Meimi away, the latter suddenly turned around and said, "You seemed to have said just now... that if I bury the doll, you will come back to collect it. How do you know that I buried the doll?"
Where else is it buried?”
Li Ruochu remembers...
When he first came to the Bai family, he asked similar questions.
"We will know. No matter where you bury the doll, we will definitely come and recover it. Just try to bury it as deep as possible."
Meimi hugged the box containing the doll tightly.
"If it weren't for Citibank's Manager Model who fully guaranteed you, I would be a little scared now."
"Without Manager Model as guarantor, you wouldn't dare bring so much cash northward."
"That's because our family has saved a lot of money there. He doesn't dare to offend our Mei family."
"Miss Mei..." Li Ruochu stretched out his hand and pointed at the box: "Burying it will be the best outcome for you."
…
"I prepared a small room specifically for that doll.
Yes, it sounds crazy.
But I still prepared a room for it.
Fortunately, my parents never asked me about my affairs. My father was busy socializing all day long, while my mother kept playing mahjong with a group of wealthy ladies, trying to compete with her own man among a group of wealthy ladies.
After I got the doll, I verified it. I cut my hand with a knife, and the wound healed very quickly. After a while, the scar disappeared.
I warned all the servants in the house... that I would clean the doll's room myself, and no one would have to do it for me.
I like this doll.
As long as conditions permit, I will always carry it with me.
Fortunately, I live a solitary life and do not participate in outside social activities, so... I can guarantee that the doll will never leave the 100-meter radius of my body.
When I see my mother always looking in the mirror, looking at her white hair and crow's feet with sad eyes, I wonder, should I buy one for my mother? But then I think, my mother might
She won't believe what I say. She has been exposed to Western knowledge since she was a child and has always believed that Western science is the most advanced.
Doll...
You have to stay with me forever..."
Lin Cheng closed the first volume of "Black Thorns" in his hand.
