Chapter 128
Lu Zhong kept an eye on it and said: "My father has thought carefully. All the gold cakes I received have been given to Brother Bai. Now I have no gold left, what can I do?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bojie said cheerfully: "Let's go back with the money. Why pay the money the next day?"
This boldness actually moved Lu Zhong's heart, and he wondered if his previous bad impression of Bo Jie was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "How lucky I am that my father takes care of me like this!"
Lu Bojie didn't say anything, got up and walked to the back of the house, leaving Lu Zhong alone in a side pavilion in the lobby. After a while, Lu Bojie came back, carrying a heavy guy in his hand. Before he went to the hall, he shouted
Said: "Zhongzi help me."
Lu Zhong hurriedly ran out of the pavilion. Lu Bojie pointed at the guy in his hand and said, "I'll give you the money."
Lu Zhong took the thing. It was indeed heavy. If you look closely, it looked like leather armor. The front and rear bottoms were folded and sewn with cowhide thread to form a bag. It was very strong. The bag was heavy and it sounded like it contained money. The two entered the hall.
, Lu Bojie said impatiently: "Take off your shirt."
Lu Zhong didn't know what was going on, so he put down the leather bag, took off his burqa, and then untied his coat. Lu Bojie took it off, pointed at the leather bag and said, "Put it on your head."
Lu Zhong took a closer look and saw that there was a hole in the center of the leather armor, which was just right for his head to drill through, so he drilled his head in as he was told. The bags at both ends were placed on his chest and back one after another. Lu Zhong put his hand into the bag and felt that it was full.
I don't know how many copper coins he had filled. Then he pulled out his head and saluted, "How much money did your father give you? What's this skin bag for?"
Lu Bojie looked at Lu Zhong like a fool and said: "It is said to be three thousand dollars, so why doubt it? Three thousand dollars, if it is not in this bag, how can it be carried!"
Lu Zhongdao: "This leather bag is very good. The leather is tough and the stitching is firm. How much is it worth?"
Lu Bojie said: "This bag is for me to travel far away. It is not a gift, let alone a price. However, if you are traveling far away, you can take it with you... If it is lost, you will be fined two gold."
Lu Zhongdao: "Three thousand coins are not easy to come by. Times have passed and people have decided. I dare to ask my father to keep it temporarily and collect it tomorrow."
Lu Bojie looked at Lu Zhong again and suddenly asked: "Who is your respected father?"
Lu Zhong was a little surprised and said: "My father's name is Shiping..."
Lu Bojie said: "Your father has a great reputation, why are you and Kunzhong only equal to each other?...Shiping died young, and Rukunzhong was still young...Who will you follow when you grow up, and what will you do?"
Lv Zhongdao: "My brother left Kunlun in the west with his father Shiliang and Shijia at the age of thirteen, and engaged in the business of pearls and jade. It has been twenty years now!"
Lu Bojie said: "No wonder you are not surprised when things change, you are not surprised when you are flattered, and you are not surprised when you get benefits. You can get whatever you want in the world."
Lu Zhong was shocked and said: "What do you mean, Father?"
Lu Bojie said: "If you wander for a moment, you will enter the scorpion - not all the coins in this bag are copper coins, but many of them are tin and lead."
Lu Zhong was secretly sweating. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he said goodbye: "I'll remember what my father taught me. It's already getting late, so I'd like to leave. I'll teach you again one day."
Lu Bojie said: "How about tonight? How can I make it without money?"
Lu Zhong did not dare to receive further advice, but said: "Thousands of copper coins are inconvenient to carry; even if there is a skin bag, it is heavy and difficult to carry; if there is any mistake, it may damage the virtue of the father of the class. If it is useful at night, I can go to the class again the next day.
Redeem it from my father."
Lu Bojie said: "If this is the case, we will not stay together. I hope that Kun Zhong will travel thousands of miles."
Lu Zhongdao: "It all depends on the virtue of my father."
After coming out of Luxing, Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his underwear was soaked with sweat. His whole body was exhausted, his face was feverish, and his forehead was throbbing. Recalling the scene just now, he felt frightened. I still can't guess what Lu Bojie was like.
Man. He spoke carelessly and seemed to be careless, but he came up with such a carefully planned conspiracy, and he almost fell into it; but he was considerate and caring, seemingly out of goodwill... The evening breeze blew.
, Lu Zhong couldn't help but shiver; the soaked underwear stuck to his body and became cold. The hot flashes on his face gradually receded, and his mind gradually became colder. He carefully recalled today's negotiations one by one,
Looking for possible omissions, and thinking about how to tell Brother Nai all this. The face of the world is so unreal, waiting for them to uncover it layer by layer. From the time their brothers set out on the road to business, hypocrisy and fraud have followed them.
Especially in the Pearl and Jade Shop, almost all the rules of light and darkness are created for deception and counter-deception; preventing deception has almost become a survival instinct. But even so, he almost stepped into a trap... Why is this?
When Lu Zhong came back to his senses from his wild thoughts, he had turned from the west of the city to the north of the city and walked along the north road for a while. At this time, he suddenly found that he seemed to have lost his way. Under the half-waning moon, a field surrounded
They were so similar. Songshan Mountain in the distance was hidden in the darkness. There was no clue as to where to turn to the trail and return to Xiaoyi where Masan was. Lu Zhong was a little flustered. He tried to recall the details when he came.
He wanted to find some landmarks that he could refer to, but he had no impression of anything. He didn't dare to go further down, nor did he dare to just follow a road and turn into a gathering place to ask for directions - you don't know who lives here.
Who are these people? If he breaks into the powerful family, he may die quietly. He knows that he still has three gold cakes on his body. In despair, he has decided to find a place to take shelter from the wind.
Stopping, in case he couldn't find a place, he reluctantly spent the night in the wild. At this time, he found someone appearing in the field. He stopped, and just as he didn't know what to do, there was already a loud shout over there: "Forerunner, Lu
Sir?"
Lu Zhong heard that it was Zheng Anping from the voice and was overjoyed. He shouted back: "How dare you be Mr. Zheng?"
The two sides came to a place and met each other. It turned out that Ma San saw that Niu Er had arrived first, Zheng Anping and Tang Shu came later, and Lu Zhong had not returned yet. He felt uneasy and hurried back to Lu Bo, taking Zheng Anping and Niu Erxun with him.
come out.
Ma San said: "When I was young, the elders often taught me to return home at sunset, otherwise I would be deceived by ghosts."
Lu Zhongdao: "It's not far away! Leaving aside Niu, Mr. Zheng and Uncle Tang are also new arrivals. How can they find the place?"
Zheng Anping said: "There is a lying stone beside this road, so I know it."
Lu Zhong looked back and saw a lying stone at the end of the path. The stone was not big and could not be seen without paying attention. He asked Ma San again: "Three brothers lived here when they were young. Would you like to teach me how to know the way home?"
——I hope that all paths are the same and difficult to distinguish.”
Ma San said: "There is a hidden ditch at the entrance of the road. When it rains, water flows down the ditch and into the fields. It is so violent that it cannot be stopped. The road is often cut off, and you often wade through the water, or you may not be able to stand."
Lu Zhong stopped and turned back to take a closer look. He saw that there was a shallow ditch at the entrance of the trail, which was cut from the main road. It was not deep or wide, but it was just right for draining the accumulated water on the main road. With Ma San's advice, in Yue
The bottom is vaguely distinguishable. I can't help but wonder, can this also guide the way? I can only keep it secretly in my mind. Since Masan, who has lived here for many years, can't find a more obvious landmark, then it can only be this.
