Chapter 249
Tian Bajiao was standing on the ground that was not yet dry, not chewing it in silence.
Boss Shen sat there, his face as pale as a dead person.
Mr. Huo's expression was obviously not very good.
The only voice in the room was that of Master Chen Qi. He sighed and then changed the subject, saying, "Everyone has their own destiny. Fortune and wealth are in the hands of God. He doesn't have the blessing of retirement, so let's ignore him. Business must be done. How much stock do you have?"
Why are you so quiet? Speak up, it's okay, I still have some savings at home, so I can eat whatever I want."
People like Mr. Chen Qi are not afraid of numbers.
I'm afraid it's too little. If it's too little, he'll think you're playing tricks on him.
Boss Shen mumbled, "Not many, just... maybe a few dozen in total."
"Dozens?" Mr. Chen Qi scratched his head.
"Yes, I have dozens of them here, and one is this big," Tian Bajiao gestured, "I really don't know where to send them to sell them. Lansun, that's my husband. He said that Uncle Lame mentioned a jeweler named Chen who could handle these goods, so we thought of looking for him here, and now we've found you, Master Qi.
We ordinary people can't even keep a treasure like this. Just give us an estimate of how much it's worth. At least our efforts won't be in vain."
Tian Bajiao wanted to call him Ah Zhu, but then he thought better of it, as this name might cause trouble.
It doesn't matter if we get him involved, but we're afraid that Mr. Chen Qi will kill them all.
Losing a few powerless people is not a big deal.
Tian Bajiao had never taken the initiative to sell these things because he was afraid of getting into trouble with gangs and offending the wrong people. But now there was no way to avoid it.
I should have known not to come at all.
Boss Shen knew that she must have some pearls in her hand, but he didn't know there was one as big as her head. He was a little surprised when he heard that, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk, so he sat there with a pale face.
Master Chen Qi finally smiled. "That's rare. Where is the thing?"
"It's at home," Tian Bajiao said. "We didn't find anyone, so we didn't dare bring it here. If you like it, just send someone to go with us to get it."
Anyway, they couldn't transport it, and it was difficult for the guards guarding the city.
Mr. Chen Qi said listlessly: "This little thing is not worth it, you can go and get it. When you get it, I will send it to the food store you went to today, and the shopkeeper will pay you.
Arya, send them out."
"Yes." The maid in green responded.
Someone around them took a piece of cloth to cover their eyes.
Tian Bajiao's vision fell into darkness again.
"Well, come to think of it, how did you manage to smuggle such a big bead?"
This is something that cannot be delved into.
Tian Bajiao said, "Maybe he's gifted?"
"I didn't ask you."
The old man was still unwilling to go up.
Tian Bajiao: As if everyone is willing to say it.
Ah Zhu hadn't spoken since he saw the maid in green, and only now did he speak. He said, "Because I'm a demon, just like the ones that Master Qi captured."
Those caught...
oh.
Tian Bajiao remembered the people in the inn.
She couldn't smell any difference in the smell of blood, but Ah Zhu obviously smelled the same scent.
He was so active, he was looking for them...
He is really fearless.
"You just said it like that, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?" Mr. Chen Qi was quite curious.
Ah Zhu said:
"Don't be afraid. The bloody smell in this room can't be left by just one or two people. With the ability of Master Qi, even if he really wants to catch the clam monster, I can't escape. It's better to tell the truth. If Master Qi is reasonable, I still have a chance to survive."
"Oh, you're lucky I don't catch clam spirits that already have owners."
"Seventh Master, what about those without owners?"
It would be great if Ah Zhu couldn't speak.
But he was good at it and he talked a lot, so Tian Bajiao and the others got a chance to "watch".
Or rather, they were locked up.
Ah Zhu was too curious, and Qi Ye felt unsafe.
They are old and feel uneasy and can't sleep well, so I have to let them bear with the inconvenience.
No matter how nice the words are, it cannot change the fact that they have become prisoners.
The "they" here refers to Azhu and Tian Bajiao.
As for Boss Shen and Mr. Huo...
Qi Ye felt that they had nothing to do with this matter, so they should go back and live a good life.
Come back if you want to do business.
To be honest, Tian Bajiao was very unconvinced. She had nothing to do with this matter, but Qi Ye didn't believe it.
The maid in green also said that the two of them were always together and behaved intimately, so they must have a very good relationship.
That's it.
Tian Bajiao asked Ah Zhu, "Does your clam have a brain? What kind of answer are you hoping to get by asking him these questions?"
Ah Zhu burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I just want to know where my kind are."
There were a few moments when Tian Bajiao thought he was a clever demon who was hiding his true abilities. What was the result?
It's all an illusion.
Tian Bajiao took his hand and asked seriously, "Tell me the truth. Before you die, tell me what you are pestering me for."
Ah Zhu blushed in embarrassment. "Sister, do you still remember the story I told you? It's all true. We clam spirits do like to be with the first member of the opposite sex we meet when we get ashore. But... it's not for love. It's because there's a legend that clam spirits who have gone through the tribulation of love can transform into dragons. As soon as I saw you, sister, I knew you were a bad person. I would definitely suffer a lot if I stayed with you, so..."
So he needs Tian Bajiao to fall in love with him and then betray him cruelly, so that he can have a sudden enlightenment and turn into a dragon and fly away.
Tian Bajiao heard it clearly.
But because the story was too outrageous, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it.
Are you serious?
The clam spirit transformed into a dragon...
Who would believe this?
Tian Bajiao always thought he was pretending to be stupid, but today... she suspected that he was really stupid.
Tian Bajiao walked silently to the corner of the cell farthest from him and squatted down silently.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" he asked worriedly, "Are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Tian Bajiao: "I want you to disappear for a while, just shut up!"
She didn't even have the strength to scream.
"Hey, lady, don't be so irritable. He cares about you."
A familiar female voice came from next door.
Then a man's voice asked, "Exactly. It takes a hundred years to be able to cross the river together, a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow, and ten thousand years to be imprisoned. To be able to live and die together, what a blessing it is. If you quarrel now, you will regret it when you die."
The two of them smiled.
The woman asked again, "Speaking of which, why did you come in? Did you go to steal something too?"
There were strange gasps mixed in with the questioning.
Tian Bajiao knew who they were, but she didn't answer.
Ah Zhu was still in the mood to chat: "No, it was me who harmed my sister. My identity as a monster was discovered."
"You call that seeing through? Didn't you take the initiative to tell them?"
Tian Bajiao finally roared...
