Chapter 23 Important Clues
This was true. Bai Yangfan really didn't know how much a wild boar should be sold for.
When the two men saw Lu Jingheng, they also changed to the standard local accent. If he hadn't just heard their neighboring country's language, Lu Jingheng would have believed that they were local people from the county.
It's hidden so deeply, no wonder there's no flaw to be found.
Very good, today he finally got the hang of it.
"How big is your wild boar? Show us so we know how much we should pay you." A man with a long face and short hair said softly, "I see it's not easy for you brothers and sisters to kill a wild boar. Don't worry! We will definitely not give less."
Brother and sister?
Bai Yangfan had something he really wanted to say, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
What brother and sister? Who is brother and sister with that bastard? What kind of eyes are they looking at? They're squinting up to the sky!
Also, when did this bastard come to the county town? When did he start following her around? He'd gotten himself into this state. If she hadn't fought him before and hadn't received special training in her past life, most people wouldn't have been able to tell it was him.
Lu Jingheng tried to please him timidly, "The wild boar weighed about five or six hundred pounds, very fat and big. My sister found a place to hide it. We'll agree on a price before I take you to see it. If it doesn't turn out well, there's no point in seeing it."
Another man with a square face and slightly longer hair asked, "Is it really five or six hundred pounds? How did you beat him to death?"
Bai Yangfan waved his hands impatiently: "Don't ask me, just tell me how much I can pay for such a big wild boar!"
The long-faced man with short hair and the square-faced man looked at each other, then said readily, "Pork is 90 cents a pound without a ticket, and wild boar meat is rare, so I'll give you one dollar a pound. You said it weighed 500 or 600 pounds, but I haven't seen it, and there's no scale to weigh it. Wait until I see the pig and lift it, and I'll know its approximate weight."
One yuan per pound is not a small amount, and selling a wild boar for around five hundred yuan is not a small amount either. When he came here, Bai Yangfan had already found a place to dump the wild boar.
It's a good time to take those two people there now.
Lu Jingheng followed silently all the way. He really wanted to see where the two men would go after taking the wild boar. As long as he could find their destination, he would have found the way.
The wild boar was placed in an inconspicuous hut and covered with a tattered straw mat. If we didn't know about it in advance, it would be impossible to find it.
No one would have thought that there was a wild boar under the torn straw mat, and it was a wild boar weighing five or six hundred pounds.
When they lifted the straw mat, the long-faced, short-haired man and the square-faced man almost laughed out loud.
"This wild boar is so big and fat. We want it all."
"Let's lift it and see how heavy it is."
The two men lifted it together, then put it down. The long-faced, short-haired man made the final decision: "It's more than 500 kilograms, but less than 600 kilograms. How about this! I'll give you two 550 yuan?"
Lu Jingheng immediately turned his gaze to Bai Yangfan: "Sister! Do you think this is okay?"
Bai Yangfan: “…” You bastard! Get away from me.
Although she didn't like him in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She didn't know what Lu Jingheng was investigating. People from the neighboring country coming to the county town could not be any good.
As fellow Chinese, let’s help out as much as we can!
"Sure." Bai Yangfan knew she didn't have a scale, so he could only give her an estimate. "Five hundred and fifty is five hundred and fifty. Pay the money, and this fat wild boar is yours."
The two men were very forthright, pulling handfuls of money from their pockets, all new ten-yuan notes. They counted them one by one, giving five bundles of one hundred each and then taking five notes from the sixth bundle and handing them to Bai Yangfan.
After paying, Lu Jingheng pretended to be kind and asked, "Do you need us to deliver it?"
Although he knew that this question was unnecessary, he still asked it. He was anxious and wanted to know where their lair was immediately so that he could follow the clues and catch them all in one fell swoop.
He has been here for so long, and finally had a face-to-face confrontation. How could he not be anxious? His superiors are waiting for his response.
"No need, we can carry it ourselves."
"Yes, the two of us can still carry a wild boar."
The wild boar was sold and the money was received. Bai Yangfan didn't want to take care of the subsequent issues. He didn't even say hello to Lu Jingheng and turned around and left.
There was no other way, so Lu Jingheng had to follow. My sister had already left, so why did my brother stay? Did he want to be beaten to death by those two?
After walking for a long time and making sure that the two people would not follow them, Lu Jingheng pulled Bai Yangfan into a very deserted alley.
"Comrade Bai Yangfan! I need your help."
Lu Jingheng's tone was so solemn that Bai Yangfan couldn't get angry or refute.
Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, Lu Jingheng had to speak solemnly: "Which country is the person who bought your wild boar from? Can you tell me? This is crucial."
Shaking off Lu Jingheng's hand, Bai Yangfan glanced at the bastard and said, "Can't you tell what language they're speaking? It's from our neighboring country, Elephant Country."
"Did you discover anything else while communicating with them?" Lu Jingheng knew he was pushing things too far, but this clue was too important, so he had to ask clearly, "Which province in Elephant Country do their accents belong to? Is it the province closest to our country?"
The dog-looking man's tone was extremely serious. Bai Yangfan thought for a moment and replied, "Their accent isn't from a province close to our country. It should be... I don't know."
Why did Bai Yangfan only say half of her words? She suddenly realized something. She knew the two people's accents were from a tribe called Alanweng. In her previous life, she had been there and lived there for half a year, just to gamble on stones.
The Alanweng tribe was said to be founded by a woman named Alan. They run a variety of businesses, and the gambling stone city was also opened by their tribe. At that time, she loved gambling on stones and bought tens of millions of raw stones in one go.
The best time was when she found a top-quality red jadeite. Someone offered her 500 million but she was reluctant to sell it and kept it in the safe of an international bank.
She, a person who had never left Liujia Village, suddenly said the name of the Alanweng tribe. Not only did Lu Jingheng not believe it, even she herself would not believe it.
Better to be cautious! Don't let past lives get entangled with this one. I've had enough of the whirlwind of violence in my past life, and in this one, I just want to raise my younger brother and be a good doctor who saves lives. I don't want to think about anything else.
It’s tiring to think too much.
Even if Bai Yangfan didn't tell Lu Jingheng what he knew, it was already a big breakthrough. Knowing that people from the Elephant Country had arrived and were staying in the county town, as long as he sent someone to keep an eye on them, he would definitely get something.
It’s better to have people coming than no one. He has been watching for so long and thought they would not come. It turns out that they came to the county town to enjoy themselves first, and then he should send people into the mountains!
