Chapter 410 You Have a Nice Elephant. How Much Can You Sell It For?
Haitang was deeply shocked by this scene. She didn't even have time to be afraid and whispered: "So snakes are afraid of elephants!"
Shen Mingjiao pursed her lips and said nothing. It was not that those snakes were afraid of elephants, but that both snakes and elephants here had problems.
Fuling waved away Ah Cai's hand, straightened her clothes, straightened her back and stepped forward:
"I'm in Wujiazhai Poria. I came to seek medicine from Chief Shui on my grandfather's orders,"
He pointed at Shen Mingjiao and his group behind him, "These are the companions who came with me."
The man sitting on the elephant's back casually glanced at Shen Mingjiao and his entourage, who looked embarrassed. He raised his chin and asked:
"Oh, I wonder what kind of medicine you want to ask for from my clan leader?"
Fuling frowned, but still said as agreed before: "Someone in the clan was accidentally bitten by a short-tailed adder. My grandfather heard that there was a medicine in Shenwu Village that could detoxify the snake. He asked me to bring the witch doctor over. Searching."
After speaking, he took out a few pieces of fine fur material from his bag and said, "This is a thank you gift."
Chief Shui quickly glanced at the few pieces of oily and slippery material and said, "Our Divine Witch Village has an ancestral instruction not to allow outsiders to enter.
But...it's not easy for you to come all the way, so let's do it! You guys wait here, I'll ask the tribesmen to bring the medicine. "
Indeed, as the leader of the Wu Clan said, we are both in Wenshan City and from the same clan. Even if Shen Wu Village cannot escape from the world, it is difficult to refuse such a small thing. Besides...
Chief Shui stared at the pieces of fur with a blind eye. These were all made of fine materials and could be worth hundreds of gold when taken out.
Fuling frowned. First, she felt unhappy with the other party's attitude, and they didn't come to ask for any medicine at all! He couldn't help but glance at Shen Mingjiao quickly.
However, Shen Mingjiao seemed to have numb feet and was about to fall down. She was caught by Yun Shu with quick eyes and hands. When she straightened up, she accidentally dropped the purse on her waist. The tether was pulled open, revealing a thick roll of banknotes. Shen Mingjiao hurriedly bent down to check it.
This action happened to be clearly seen by Chief Shui, who was sitting high on the elephant's back. His eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Mingjiao carefully.
Before coming, I tried my best to disguise myself as realistically as possible. Several women had worked hard, and Fu Guang had used some unknown method to dye her blond hair black, so no matter who saw them at first glance, they would just think they were ordinary Miao women.
However, at this moment, Shen Mingjiao deliberately straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. Even though she was embarrassed, she still showed a bit of arrogance.
She seemed to have reached the limit of her patience and complained softly to Fuling:
"Didn't Dad say that you Miao people are the most hospitable? We have traveled such a long way, and we don't need to be treated with good wine and good food. Why don't we come in for a drink of water?"
Fu Ling was stunned for a moment. Although he seemed to be nagging and straightforward, his thoughts were delicate, and thanks to the past few days of getting along with him, he quickly came to his senses. Chief Chongshui asked in a low voice:
"Can you let us go in for a drink of water and a rest?"
Chief Shui frowned hesitantly. There were no rules in Shenwu Village that prohibited outsiders from entering. It’s just that few people set foot there.
But now, the leader of the village is the one who built the extremely poisonous Ten Thousand Snake Cave outside the village to prevent outsiders from entering.
But when Chief Shui thought about the pile of silver notes he just saw, the lowest denomination of which was fifty taels, he hesitated again.
Anyway, that person just left not long ago. According to usual practice, the next time he will come will be at least three months later.
As long as he is careful, he will kill this group of people after he gets the money. Throw it into the mountains and you'll be sure that no one is aware of it.
He gritted his teeth and nodded arrogantly to everyone: "Okay."
The elephant shook its long trunk, turned its heavy body and walked back slowly, and the group of people followed the elephant.
Feeling the gaze that Chief Shui cast from time to time, Shen Mingjiao suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "You have a good elephant, how much can I sell it for?"
She sounded like she was not short of money. The Shui clan chief wanted to have sex with Yang, but he tried his best to keep a straight face and said coldly:
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a sacred object in the village. Only the patriarchs of the past generations can ride it. The beast has a spirit. How can you insult it with money!"
Shen Mingjiao said "Oh" very understandingly: "After saying so much, I mean it is more valuable than the elephant next to it! Your eloquence is really a good salesman. With your packaging, this elephant instantly became ordinary. The elephant becomes noble and sacred!"
She spread her hands: "But after what you said, I really like this elephant. How much does it cost? Can you give me a price?"
At this time, the corners of Chief Shui's mouth really twitched, as if he couldn't believe this operation!
Poria whispered: "You really want to buy an elephant!"
Fu lowered his voice and said: "He tricked you. This is just an ordinary elephant. There are many in the mountains. If you want one, I will get one for you later."
Chief Shui: "..." Do you think I am dead? Also, when did I say I was going to sell the elephant? I think should not be!
However... what is certain at the moment is that this group of people, or this woman of unknown origin, is worth a lot of money.
Nothing else happened next, and the group successfully entered the Shenwu Village.
Both belong to the Miao ethnic group, and the buildings in Shenwu Village are no different from Wujiazhai except that they are more primitive.
The only difference is the feeling. If Wujiazhai exudes enthusiasm and simplicity, this place gives people a cold, depressing and depressed feeling.
If we were to say that the only inconsistency was with the Chief Shui of the Divine Witch Village in front of him.
The group of people came to a vacant stilted building. Fu Ling and the guard Ah Cai followed Chief Shui to get the medicine.
After Shen Mingjiao sat down, two women wearing authentic Miao costumes came over to serve tea. After the others left, Yun Shu whispered:
"This leader of the Shui clan is really too..." He doesn't look like the leader of a clan.
Shen Mingjiao also lowered her voice: "Obviously, this is a little guy!"
It stands to reason that even if the patriarch of Shenwu Village is not pedantic and rigid, he cannot be a villain who is greedy for money and has an eye above others. This is very inconsistent with the behavior of the entire village that has been avoided for thousands of years.
As for the person behind Chief Shui, no need to think about it to know that it must be Qingyao.
Yun Shu asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Shen Mingjiao glanced at a corner of the door and deliberately said loudly:
"Didn't I say that there is a thousand-year-old agarwood here? Where can I find this lifeless thing?"
Yun Shu reacted after being stunned for a moment, and then continued with a smile: "Perhaps that Taoist wanderer is talking nonsense, why don't we go back after playing for a while!"
Shen Mingjiao snorted, "I don't want it. Daddy is collecting wood in Wenshan City. I sneaked out without telling anyone. It would be so shameless if I didn't bring anything back!"
Yun Shu advised: "Although the thousand-year-old agarwood is worth tens of thousands of gold, I am the richest man in the north and my family has more than ten thousand dollars. Why do you, miss, insist on looking for some wood?"
"What do you know? Dad's fiftieth birthday is next month. This is a gift for him..."
A while passed, until the figure outside the house disappeared. The two looked at each other and signed off in tacit agreement.
Ming took a sip of oil tea patiently. "What riddles are you playing?"
Shen Mingjiao glanced at the furnishings in the room: "Obviously, fishing!"
Ming rolled his eyes: "You are the richest man in the north. And you come all the way here to buy goods? Only a fool would believe it if you make it up like this?"
Shen Mingjiao asked: "Why are those plays about emperors and princes so popular among the people?
Because it’s outrageous enough and the plot is exciting enough. So it doesn't matter if we listen to it, as long as the leader of the water tribe believes it, that's enough. "
And the reason why they say this is because Chief Shui is greedy for money and has no brains. He will definitely not be willing to let her "fat sheep" go, so they have reason to continue to stay in Shenwu Village.
Secondly, after knowing that the wealthy businessman father of "Fat Sheep" was in Wenshan City, Chief Shui not only would not kill them, but would also ensure their safety because he wanted more.
