The onlookers were all talking about it. After all, no one had ever seen a water monkey. This creature would not come ashore easily. In the water, one monkey was worth ten cows. It could be said to be the bully of the water.
Although the thing in the iron cage has four arms, a red face, white ears, and red hair all over its body, it still looks like a monkey.
Only Russell had a solemn look on his face. Looking at the red-haired monkey, he felt a chill on his back and sensed a bad omen.
"Great terror, great terror!"
Russell murmured to himself, and his little hands couldn't help but tremble a little. Qiu Sheng felt something strange about Russell, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He is not a fool like Wencai. He often helps his aunt with business. He meets many people and naturally has many ideas.
The little junior brother was born extraordinary and has shown signs of being a child prodigy since childhood. The master is cheerful all day long and says that Maoshan has a successor.
Qiu Sheng never treated his junior fellow apprentice as a child. The junior fellow's reaction must have shown that he had discovered something.
It’s likely to be a big problem!
But now there were so many people around that it was difficult for him to ask, so he could only silently hug his junior brother's legs.
Whenever his junior fellow apprentice gave any instructions, he would carry his junior fellow apprentice and run without saying a word.
The sturdy man selling the water monkey looked at the people around him and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I understand your concerns. Those who believe will believe, and those who don't will not believe. I have already caught the water monkey, so how can I put it back?"
He swung his whip back and hit the red-haired old monster hard. The red-haired old monster trembled all over and let out a miserable cry.
Don't even mention how pitiful it is.
Seeing the reaction of the red-haired old monster, the onlookers talked a lot. After a few whips, no matter his appearance, movements, or cries, he was just a monster.
It doesn't look like the monkey is faking it at all.
In the crowd, some people dressed in gorgeous clothes had flickering eyes, just as the sturdy man selling water monkeys said.
Renjia Town is a famous gathering place for wealthy businessmen in the vicinity. The most famous wealthy family is the Ren family. He is the local rich man and landowner of Renjia Town.
But it does not mean that there are no rich people in the huge Renjia Town.
This red-haired water monster is truly rare and valuable.
"I'll offer fifty dollars." An old man in fancy clothes was the first to offer the price.
The sturdy man's face lit up with joy. This was 50 dollars. If they lived frugally, it would be enough for three families to use for a year.
Everyone around looked at me with envy. This was truly a windfall!
Just when people around him thought the deal was about to be done, his expression changed and he simply shook his head.
The old man in fancy clothes frowned and silently entered another number, "Sixty dollars!"
Qiu Sheng couldn't help swallowing some saliva and muttered quietly, "I hate rich people the most."
I don't know what they were thinking when they spent sixty dollars to buy something that looks like a water monkey, but you can't eat it and you can't keep it.
If he had 60 yuan, let alone 60 yuan, even if he had 50 yuan, he could marry a wife, buy a piece of land, and live a life with a wife and children.
It is not necessary to marry the widow of the Liu family. Although she is a good person and still has charm, it is absolutely not advisable for her to be a father.
well!
Russell tilted his head, looked at the burly man, then looked at the old man, thinking about something.
It's really stupid that money is easier to make when you have a lot of money.
It is better to cheat one rich person than to cheat a hundred poor people.
The price of the red-haired old monster was raised to 60 yuan. The strong man's eyes lit up, but he did not agree. Instead, he whipped him again.
“Ouch!”
The red-haired water monkey made strange noises, which made the people around it even more excited.
Although they don't have the money to buy it, it's enough to satisfy their eyes and brag about it to others.
"I'll give you 70 bucks!"
As soon as the water monkey's cry fell, a haughty voice came from outside, and the crowd parted ways.
A middle-aged man walked over, followed by two followers. He had a wealthy face and a silly smile, and seemed very approachable!
70 dollars, ocean!
The people around couldn't help but make a commotion. That was no small amount of money. Some of them didn't even have 70 dollars at home.
Some people quietly retreated and hurried back home. They had to act quickly, prepare things, and go to the river to catch water monkeys, no, to catch money.
This thing is so expensive now. If you get a few, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the next life.
If I could do ten of them, I could sell them and buy a few dozen acres of land and marry two wives. I wouldn't even get off the bed in my next life.
When he heard that the price had risen to 70 yuan, the sturdy man who bought the water monkey's eyes lit up and became even more excited. He whipped the red-haired old monster a few more times, making him scream.
"Don't break my baby!"
The old man in fancy clothes snorted, "It's just a dollar. The thing our Ma family has the most is a dollar! I'll give you 100 dollars!"
"Then give it to Fourth Uncle. Congratulations to Fourth Uncle for buying a monkey."
The silly fat guy smiled and cupped his hands, appearing particularly polite.
"snort!"
The old man in fancy clothes obviously didn't buy the fat man's tricks, and he was a little annoyed. "I just have this hobby, I'm interested in these rare treasures."
"I am not interested in the ocean at all. What is the ocean? It is dung, garbage, and it defiles the human soul."
"You, Zhang San, are still young, so you need to learn something."
The old man in fancy clothes spoke immediately. The fat man beside him seemed to have expected it. He cupped his hands and said, "Aiya, Fourth Uncle, it's getting late. I have to go home and rest. See you later!"
The fat man turned and left. The old man in gorgeous clothes looked at the sun which had not yet risen in the distance and could not help but open his mouth.
I want to curse, but I feel it's disrespectful.
If I don't curse, I'll feel like there's a breath stuck in my chest.
"This bastard."
The old man in fancy clothes muttered something, then felt something was wrong and changed his words. After all, he was his distant nephew.
He is a turtle's grandson, so doesn't that mean he is a turtle's son
“This grandson!”
"Mr. Ma, do you still want this monkey?" The sturdy man looked at the stupid fat man leaving, and his expression couldn't help but become a little anxious.
This red-haired monkey is a rare treasure and a pet for rich families, but for ordinary people, it is just a waste of money.
"It's only 100 yuan." The old man in fancy clothes waved his sleeves. "I can still afford this little money."
The strong man selling water monkeys breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a childish voice was heard.
"You're a monkey, I'll give you 1,000 dollars."
The crowd was in an uproar, and all eyes turned to Russell.
Russell's face was calm, but Qiu Sheng couldn't hold on any longer. He suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.
This is 1,000 yuan, which is about 25 small yellow croakers, enough for him to marry more than 200 women!
"What a brilliant young man!" The old man in fancy clothes turned around and looked at the handsome Russell. His original anger also dissipated. "Are you married?"
Russell ignored him and clapped his hands. Qiu Sheng felt the bag on his back sink. He subconsciously pulled it and heard a snapping sound.
When they looked down, they found more than a dozen silver ingots on the ground, and judging from their size, they weighed at least 50 taels.
This is far more than 1,000 oceans.
They raised their heads silently and let Qiu Sheng and Russell out.
Damn rich people!
