Strange talk live room

Chapter 357 The lion opens its mouth

In fact, I also guessed it, so I wasn’t too surprised.

I put down the tea cup, smiled slightly and said, "What are the conditions?"

Old Man Liu rubbed his hands in embarrassment and walked a few steps back and forth in the low, dark room, his voice as soft as a mosquito's moan.

"Add, add money."

Although it is unethical to add money temporarily, it is understandable after looking at his family's situation.

I said calmly: "How much more?"

"Eight, eighty thousand." Old man Liu lowered his head, not daring to look at me.

"What?" Da Biao suddenly jumped up from his stool and looked at Old Man Liu with wide eyes, "How much? Eighty thousand! Did I hear it right?"

Old man Liu lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.

Da Biao said angrily: "Old man, are any of you doing this? I know your family is in difficulty, so it's not impossible to increase money, but you are too greedy!"

"I asked for 80,000 yuan. You think the money came from the strong wind!"

Old man Liu didn't answer him, but quickly raised his eyes to look at my face.

"Uncle Liu, tell the truth, what do you need so much money for?" I said with a calm expression.

Added up before and after, the total is one hundred thousand.

I'm not short of money, and I want to help them, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be taken advantage of.

Old man Liu raised his head and looked at me with his old eyes: "Boss Xiao Li, I know it's not kind to do this, but, I can't help it."

"This 100,000 yuan is enough for the baby to go to college for four years."

"Why do you have to get enough for four years at once?"

"I'm old and can't do anything anymore." Old Man Liu's eyes turned slightly red.

"Wawa is the first college student in the village, and it's a key university. We can't let such a good kid be buried in this small village."

Old man Liu's eyes were filled with tears, as if he had something to hide.

"I can help you, but I want to see the ancient gentleman first." I said calmly.

Old man Liu changed his mind temporarily after meeting Mr. Yin Yang named Gu. The two must have talked about something.

He didn't expect me to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, wiped his eyes, and hurriedly led us out.

"Okay, I'll take you to see him right now!"

On the way, he called Bai Zining on an old mobile phone and asked him to stay at home and look after the house when he came back and not go anywhere.

Bai Zining asked him what he was doing. He only said that he had something to do with his two bosses, but he didn't say anything else.

The old man's house is not much better than Old Man Liu's house. It is the second dilapidated house in the village.

However, it is much more messy.

He was standing at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. When we arrived, he said to me directly without explaining, "Boss, would you like to go to the back mountain first?"

"That's better, that's what I meant." I nodded and smiled.

The back mountain is where Old Man Liu dug up the dead.

Embroidered shoes with beads and pictures of ancient tombs were all pulled out of the dead.

To temporarily increase the price, you must come up with valuable chips.

At this point, it's just before 5pm.

The sun is a little softer than at noon, but it is also very hot.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in a mountain village is trees. We walked out of the village along the shady land and went up the back mountain against the sunshine.

Up the mountain, down the mountain, up the mountain again.

Dabiao and I were both covered in sweat as we walked, and the two thin old men finally stopped.

It was quiet all around, and the dense woods blocked the sunlight, making it very dark.

We were standing in a small clearing in the woods.

Not far away, the outlines of some barren graves could be seen among the trees.

This seems to be a mass grave from the past.

"The dead are buried under here." Gutou winked at Old Man Liu.

Old man Liu put down the hoe on his shoulder, spit some saliva into the palm of his hand, and dug hard with the hoe.

Not long after, a white bone palm was dug out, and a faint smell of decay came out.

"Old Liutou, that's it." Gutou raised his hand.

Old man Liu put away his hoe and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

"A dead hand is worth 80,000 yuan? Do you think we are fools?" Da Biao said dissatisfied.

"Of course not." Gutou said calmly, "I just want the two bosses to see that it is true that Lao Liu dug up dead people."

"There are mass graves nearby. There are so many dead people's bones. It doesn't mean anything." I shook my head.

"This dead man is different. He died less than three months ago." Gutou glanced at me and said solemnly.

"Are you lying?" Da Biao couldn't help but said, "He has only been dead for three months and has turned into a pile of bones?"

Old Man just smiled faintly, did not answer him, and made a gesture to Old Man Liu.

"Old Liutou, thank you for your hard work for your boy, keep digging."

Old man Liu didn't say much, just held the hoe and continued working.

As more bones were dug out, the rancid smell became stronger.

Moreover, it seemed to be mixed with other pungent smells. I frowned slightly and opened my heavenly eyes.

Sure enough, there was a trace of black energy lingering on the white bones.

I pulled Dabiao further away.

After Old Man Liu dug out all the bones and the black air slowly dissipated under the dappled sunlight, I took Da Biao and approached again.

I looked down and saw that he had a big frame, he must be a man.

"What can this pile of dead people's bones prove?" Da Biao asked loudly.

"Boss Li, do you see anything?" Instead of getting acquainted with me, Gutou turned his attention to me.

"No need to look, the owner of this skeleton died of corpse poison." I said calmly.

"What?" Dabiao didn't understand.

The old man showed a satisfied smile and nodded: "Boss Li is indeed an expert. He can see the key at a glance."

"It must be the corpse poison in the ancient tomb that can turn a person's body into bones within three months. Now you should believe that everything on his body is real."

"No, I said, the body can be prepared by you in advance."

"The corpses in the mass graves are all from decades ago. Even if the bones are still there, they are still in dilapidated condition. How can they be kept so intact?"

The old man smiled slightly, and his old eyes were not cloudy, but shone with shrewdness and wisdom.

"But I know that a dead man's bones cannot convince the boss. There is one more thing that can prove it."

He raised his head and glanced at the sky through the dense branches and leaves of the trees.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We have to go down the mountain before dark. Two bosses, please go back first."

As he spoke, he made eye contact with Old Man Liu and led us down the mountain in a hurry.

"Brother, they are pretending to be evil. The more I look at them, the less they look like good people." Da Biao whispered in my ear.

"Don't worry, let's see the embroidered shoes in their hands first." I said calmly.

"How did you know they were embroidered shoes?"

"Is there any need to guess?"

Dusk.

When the sunset filled the entire small mountain village, we returned to our home in Gutou.

In the low and dilapidated hall, the old man turned on the light and took out something wrapped in black cloth.

Judging from the shape, there is no doubt that they are embroidered shoes.

"Boss Li, this embroidered shoe is exactly the one that Old Liu Tou ripped off the dead man." He unfolded the black cloth, revealing a red embroidered shoe.

The bright red satin upper is embroidered with delicate patterns. Although the color is old, it does not hide the exquisite craftsmanship.

It’s just that the toe cap, which should have been decorated with beads, only has a few pinholes and broken threads, which looks a bit abrupt.
