Painted Skin

Chapter 3

At 1 a.m. that evening, Pi Qinghua, Lang Zhi and Dahei, fully armed, took advantage of the dark night and strong wind and walked to the yard of Su Mali's house next door.

The surveillance camera at the back door of Su Mali's house had been completely disabled by Pi Qinghua. Now the only thing the three of them had to deal with was the golden retriever living in the luxurious doghouse.

Dahei volunteered to walk in front of his two masters, and then walked into the luxurious kennel under the gaze of Pi Qinghua and Lang Zhi.

Three seconds before Dahei entered the kennel, Pi Qinghua seemed to hear the golden retriever's low whimpering of alert, and then half a minute after the fourth second, the alert sound turned into a trembling howl, and of course, the sound was very small.

"Second Dad, what is Dahei doing?" Xiao Langzi asked seriously.

Pi Qinghua twitched his lips. Actually, he couldn't tell what Dahei was doing. However, considering that these two were male dogs, so... it should be just a simple threat, right

Fortunately, before Pi Qinghua could think of what to say, Dahei came out with a wooden box of about the size of a bottle of red wine in his mouth, looking very proud. Seeing how refreshed he looked, Pi Qinghua felt a little depressed, but he soon regained his smile. It only took one minute from the time he went in to the time he came out. Well, even if there was really something, it would be too late to do anything about it!

"Ouch?" Dahei looked at his master's tangled and weird expression, and tilted his head to express his confusion. Pi Qinghua coughed softly, took the wooden box and turned to leave. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Even Su Mali has several strong bodyguards. But why is this wooden box so heavy? Even if it is made of solid wood, it shouldn't be heavy. Could it be that there are really gold bricks inside

The journey back was smooth, except that it was a bit heavy. After sneaking back to the temporary villa, Pi Qinghua, Lang Zhi and Dahei sat on a pile of messy bark and fur to open the box.

As for why there is such a mess of skin, needless to say it is the result of Pi Qinghua's first use of the magic pen. He painted frantically for about ten minutes, and in the end most of his blood was drawn out, so naturally he would not get nothing, but because it was an unconscious scribble, the skin he got in the end was also quite messy.

Pi Qinghua took a quick look and found that most of the skins in the pile were tree bark and grass bark, and one third were animal fur. However, the things in the box were obviously more important, so the skins and other things would be sorted out later.

"If there is nothing valuable in this box but some photos of handsome men, then we will be at a great loss." Pi Qinghua looked at the wooden box and frowned subconsciously. It didn't look like a treasure to be collected at all.

Xiao Langzi was also a little nervous at this time, and looked at his second father with a bit of pity: "Well, if that doesn't work, let's go dig out some rich people... Don't worry, second father, I will definitely be able to get the money to support you!"

Pi Qinghua slapped the kid in the face, "I'm your second father, and I'm not dead yet! Why would I need you to support me?"

"Okay, let's not waste time. This box looks small but it's quite heavy. Who knows, there might be a piece of gold waiting for us inside!" After Pi Qinghua said this, Lang Zhi and Da Hei sat up straight with shining eyes. The three of them had no idea that they were stealing other people's things and looked like they were afraid of being at a disadvantage.

However, after Pi Qinghua skillfully pried open the lock, the contents of the box made the family express great anger!

"Fuck! This is empty!" Lang Zhi cursed, but the curse, coupled with his handsome face of only seven years old, directly became malicious cuteness. However, he still couldn't escape the fate of being slapped on the back of the head by his second father.

"Get lost! You dare to swear in front of me! Say one more word and I'll make you and Dahei sleep together in the yard!"

Xiao Langzi held his mouth with tears in his eyes, feeling angry. Who did he learn these swear words from

Pi Qinghua raised his eyebrows: "What should I say?"

Lang Zhi said sullenly: "Why is there nothing in this box? The owner of the box is so bad..."

The contrast was so cute that Pi Qinghua nodded in satisfaction. The wolf cub said that if anyone heard him speak like that, he would kill that person's entire family when he grew up. Of course, his second father would be forgotten.

"Well, this box is not right. I weigh it, it's at least ten pounds. Ordinary wood can't be so heavy. And, no matter how stupid Su Mali is, she shouldn't put an empty box in the doghouse." Pi Qinghua looked at the box over and over, knocked on a few places gently, and then grinned. "Watch it, little brat, and see how Daddy will perform magic for you."

Then Pi Qinghua took out a very thin knife from somewhere on his body. The blade shone with a cold light, and it was obvious that it was a good thing. Pi Qinghua took the knife and quickly and neatly cut the edge of the small wooden box a few times, then placed the small wooden box on the crystal coffee table, and finally tapped the coffee table lightly, and the small piece of wood fell off, revealing the golden things inside.

“…Wow! Second Dad, there are gold nuggets in here!” Lang Zhi’s eyes lit up. Oh, so much money!

"Tsk tsk, this is not a small amount." Pi Qinghua looked at the palm-sized gold bars, and then unceremoniously took all the gold bars. He counted them and found that there were 25 gold bars of 200g in total, which was exactly ten kilograms of gold bars. If converted into RMB according to the market price, it would be at least one million. "Hey, now I have the money to open a store."

Xiao Langzi cheered happily when he heard this, and then quickly returned to his serious and cold face. Dahei was pleased to think that his hard work paid off!

"Son, come and find some tiles of similar size. Let your second father, me, fix the box. Then let Dahei take the box back. Our trip will be unnoticed. When we make money in the future..."

Lang Zhi sat up straight and said, "Just return the gold to Su Mali?"

Pi Qinghua shook his head seriously: "Are you kidding? Isn't that asking for trouble? Just spend a million to find a strong husband for Su Mali, so that she won't have sex with married men in her company all day long."

Lang Zhi nodded, not quite understanding, "In short, as long as we spend one million on her, it will be considered as paying her back."

Pi Qinghua nodded. "Okay, go get some sleep first. When it's daytime, we'll sort out the pile of skins on the ground and clean them up. We'll be leaving soon."

Langzhi obediently went to sleep holding the Winnie the Pooh that Pi Qinghua picked up for him, while Dahei lay at Pi Qinghua's feet, waiting for him to repair the wooden box worth one million.

By the time Lang Zhi was awakened by the barking of various dogs in the mansion in the morning, Pi Qinghua was already in the living room cleaning up the pile of skins with Dahei.

The sun shone on the half of Pi Qinghua's face that was not burned, and Lang Zhi was a little stunned: "Second father, you are so handsome, more handsome than my father."

Pi Qinghua raised an eyebrow when he heard that, and turned to look at the annoyed kid, knowing that he was angry again because he suddenly remembered his father. He chuckled and waved his hand: "Come and help. If you have time to think so much, you might as well think about what to eat for breakfast later."

Lang Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard about breakfast. He knew what Pi Qinghua meant by that: "Second Dad! Are we going to go out to buy food later?!"

Looking at the happy look on the little wolf cub's face, Pi Qinghua couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. It had been four years since he picked up this child, and the child had grown from a sickly and young kid to the fierce and cold little male god he is now. He thought he had treated this picked up child very well, but he also felt a little ashamed. He had been eating cold rice for a year, begging for food for two years, and eating leftovers for a year with this child.

If it was an ordinary child, it would be very difficult for him to survive, but this kid insisted on following him and survived. Pi Qinghua couldn't help but smile. Maybe this was fate. The two of them, along with Dahei, were all very strong and could not die.

But the father of this child… He was able to make Lang Zhi, who was only three years old, remember him for four years and still remember him until now. His tone was still full of admiration. Perhaps, he was also a powerful person. But he allowed his son to be tied up. That guy must not be a good person.

"Well, so you have to think about what to eat later. We are rich now, and I will buy you two servings of whatever you want to eat! One for you and one for the dog!"

Lang Zhi: “… ”

Dahei: “… ”

It took almost an hour for Pi Qinghua and his children and dog to sort out the pile of skins. Although it was called a pile, there were not many of them. Basically, there was no whole tiger skin, only half a tiger skin, two sheep skins, one cow skin and half a pig skin, and then three chicken skins without hair, and seven fish skins of unknown fish. In addition to animal skins, the rest were plant skins, and it seemed that there were more tree skins, but please forgive Pi Qinghua, a second-generation ancestor who was once lazy and didn't know the difference between grains. He couldn't tell what kind of tree skins those were. The only ones he recognized were seven or eight banana peels and orange peels.

"Well, plant skins really don't make much money... A whole cowhide is worth at least 700 or 800 yuan." Pi Qinghua looked at the pile of skins. Banana peels can be used to play tricks on people, and orange peels can be used to make tea. What about tree bark? Sure enough, he had to find a job quickly and make some chicken blood or duck blood.

"So, Second Father, what kind of store should we open?"

Pi Qinghua thought about it, why open a store? In the current situation, he can only set up a stall to deliver goods. When he can paint animal skins in the future, he will open a store to sell mink and cowhide. Tsk, leather is really not good, and he can't even supply it if he opens a store. If he can paint meat, he will directly open a meat shop. Now, he can't open a "leather shop" right? !

"Let's go to Medicine Street later and see what kind of barks these are and whether they are worth money."

Pi Qinghua looked at the tree barks. He heard that some of the barks could be used as traditional Chinese medicine. If he just thought about painting the barks of the most expensive trees, he should be able to make some money.

Hey! Don't forget my blood bag!

Pi Qinghua twitched his lips and said, "Yours is indispensable."

After saying that, he gently pressed his chest. Don't worry, things have taken a turn for the better, right? When he can get rid of his own face, he can go and settle accounts with that family - he can obviously draw another completely different face for himself. At that time, it will be quite pleasant to drag them into the abyss and into the fire pit step by step, isn't it? So, he is not in a hurry, he can wait.
