Unexpectedly, the dead rat smacked his lips, squinted his eyes at the bottle and said, "You are still short of two bottles of wine. I will tell you when you have enough."
Oh my god! Actually, I didn't buy two less bottles on purpose. It's just that I didn't have enough cash on me. I don't like to be in debt since I was a child, so I bought two less bottles.
"You are a great man, why would you be so fussy about such a small matter? I will buy four more bottles from you later." I said with a smile.
"Don't flatter me, it's useless. I won't release the eagle without seeing the rabbit, and I won't tell the secret without seeing the liquor." It said, shaking its head, and started to eat the roast chicken.
As he was talking, Shen Bing came over. Upon hearing what was going on, he saw that the dead rat was up to his old tricks again, so he snatched the roast chicken from his hand.
"Don't eat this, throw it out to feed the dogs!" Shen Bing said as she picked up the remaining roast chickens on the table and was about to open the door.
"No, no, I'm not full yet. All right, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Shen Bing chuckled and put the roast chicken back on the table. This made the dead rat laugh and cry, which made me feel very funny. Only Shen Bing could deal with it.
Si Haozi told us that there were dozens of black pearls and a huge alchemy furnace hidden in the Zheng family's basement. In a corner on the east side, there was a small room where a man lived and slept soundly. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he didn't look like a security guard, but more like a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman.
It was just about to check if there was anything else when it heard a sound outside and hurried out. According to it, it was a great god, and if it was discovered, it would be like a thief on the roof if it came in uninvited. It would rather die than lose face.
I was shocked. How could there be so many black pearls hidden in the Zheng family's basement? I only made a few a year, and in four years, there were only more than ten. Where did the rest come from? Could it be that all the black pearls refined by my ancestors were collected by them, and now they are all in the hands of Boss Zheng
This was simply unimaginable. How could a coal dealer like you be able to dump something as valuable as black pearls, and dozens of them? And that huge alchemy furnace, if you were not a Taoist disciple, you would not be able to use it. It required burning talismans and chanting spells, as well as Taoist cultivation. How could an ordinary coal dealer use such a thing? It was ridiculous to think about it.
Furthermore, what can the black pearls be refined into using the alchemy furnace
I was distracted and didn't hear what the dead rat said next, but I heard it say that it followed Zhao Chengshi and ran to the residence of Mr. Zheng's wife. This was a two-story building. Zhao Chengshi was very skilled in martial arts. He climbed on the wall like a gecko and hid under the window to peek in. The dead rat hid behind him, and the two of them almost brushed against each other, but Zhao Chengshi couldn't find the dead rat at all.
The lights were on in the room, a woman and a man were sitting on the sofa, and Boss Zheng was kneeling on the floor with his head bowed, like a prisoner being interrogated. From what they said, the woman was his wife and the man was his brother-in-law, and they kept asking where the things were hidden.
Boss Zheng pretended to be deaf and dumb, keeping his head down and saying nothing.
At this time, there was a sudden power outage, and the lights in the house went out. Then, the screams of Boss Zheng's wife and brother-in-law were heard. After a while, when the lights came on again, Boss Zheng was gone. Zhao Chengshi slid down the wall in a hurry and climbed over it to get out. Then the dead rat returned to the store, crawled into the mirror and had a good sleep.
I asked, “Is this the end?”
"Yeah." Dead Mouse had almost finished eating the roast chicken. He stretched and yawned and said, "I'll go back and catch up on some sleep."
"Don't leave yet." I said anxiously, "Why didn't you follow to see who took Boss Zheng away, and where Zhao Chengshi went?"
"It was almost dawn, and the gods couldn't follow people in broad daylight. People would be scared if they were discovered," it said confidently.
I couldn't help but feel angry. Please don't mention the Great God to me. I said to it angrily: "Zhao Chengshi is a murderous demon, and he kept trying to kill me. You could have killed him by just reaching out your hand behind him, so why didn't you do it?"
"The great gods cannot kill people. As the saying goes, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. Once the time comes, the Black and White Impermanence will..."
Damn, it started to talk to me like a nosy woman. I was so angry that I waved my hand and said, "You should go back to sleep!"
