Upon hearing Su Wanwan's words, both the village secretary and the brigade leader were stunned.
These educated youth are really something else, daring to make such bizarre requests. Asking them to help find a black snake that's disappeared into the grass? Where are they going to find one in the middle of the night? It's long gone.
And just to find a necklace? Isn't that a joke? Are you making fun of them?
Meng Xingming looked troubled. He could do many things for Su Wanwan, but he couldn't go looking for snakes because he was afraid of them...
In that case, who would be willing to help Su Wanwan with this thankless task?
Seeing this, Su Wanwan became truly anxious and burst into tears, saying:
"Please, I beg you, please help me find it quickly! It's my family heirloom necklace, passed down for a very long time. Although it's not worth much money, it holds a very important place in my heart!"
"Village Party Secretary, Brigade Leader, how about this? I'm willing to pay a high price to have the villagers help me find that snake. I'll give them one hundred yuan as long as they find the necklace!"
Upon hearing Su Wanwan's words, the village secretary and the brigade leader immediately perked up. One hundred yuan! They couldn't save that much money in a year!
If you find the snake and the necklace, you can get 100 yuan.
This condition not only excited the villagers, but also the village party secretary and the brigade leader.
But it's the middle of the night, and going to look for them now might be dangerous.
But if the villagers knew about this, they would be willing to go no matter how dangerous it was! These days, every household is desperately short of money.
Especially in remote and impoverished areas like Crescent Mountain, one hundred yuan is incredibly attractive.
Seeing their hesitation, Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and said to the two village leaders again:
"Secretary of the Party Committee, brigade leader, that necklace is really important to me. I beg you to get the villagers to help me find it. If you find it, I will give each of you 20 yuan for your trouble! Even if you don't find it, I will still give each of you 10 yuan for your trouble."
"Please, please get the villagers to help search! If we wait any longer, we really won't be able to find them..."
Upon hearing this condition, the village party secretary and the brigade leader immediately became enthusiastic and agreed:
"Hey, Su, talking about money is so hurtful! This is something our village leaders should handle. But, you're telling me you'll give each of us ten yuan even if we can't find it, is that true?"
Su Wanwan was almost in tears at this point, so how could she refuse? She said decisively:
"Please, please help me find it quickly!"
Upon receiving this answer, the village secretary beamed and, together with the brigade leader, mobilized the villagers. They weren't worried about Su Wanwan defaulting on her debt; the young woman had quite a bit of money.
Anyway, she's living a good life. Even if she's broke, Meng Xingming, who treats Su Wanwan like a treasure, is rich. She can't renege on the money anyway!
Now, the entire Crescent Moon Mountain is bustling with activity.
The villagers were in an uproar when they heard that finding the black snake that swallowed the necklace would mean getting 100 yuan!
One hundred yuan! That's no small amount. Many families can't save that much in a year or two.
If we had that 100 yuan, many families could improve their living conditions considerably, and some could even buy a bicycle.
Now, in the entire Crescent Moon Mountain, only the brigade has one bicycle, and the village secretary and brigade leader can only ride it when they go to the city for meetings. The whole Crescent Moon Mountain cherishes it dearly.
If I could buy a bicycle right now, that would be such a big deal!
So, everyone in Crescent Moon Mountain became active at this time. Whether they were villagers or educated youth, the fatigue of the autumn harvest was swept away, and the whole people went out to look for snakes and necklaces!
Of course, they searched for quite a few snakes, but when they opened their bellies, they couldn't even find a trace of the necklace.
"Dazhuang, they're looking for the black snake, why are you catching the green snake?"
"Hehe, you've caught so many black snakes, but haven't seen any results. Maybe other snakes ate the black snakes? So, just looking for black snakes won't do you good!"
"Hey, you usually seem a bit slow, but I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted right now!"
"You son of a bitch, you're the stupid one, your whole family are stupid!"
Amidst the rising and falling sounds of conversation, the black snake searched a large group but failed to find the necklace, so the other snakes also suffered the consequences.
As the saying goes, when the autumn wind blows, three snakes grow fat.
Autumn harvest is the time when snake meat is plump and delicious. Every man in the village is a snake-catching expert; they've all grown up playing with snakes.
Moreover, they can distinguish which snakes are venomous and which are not.
People are really going all out for 100 yuan.
However, catching snakes is something only men and some tough old women dare to do; young girls and children should stay away from it.
Therefore, it wouldn't seem abrupt if Luo Zixi didn't participate in such an event.
At this moment, Luo Zixi was already hiding in her own space, laughing so hard she was rolling on the floor.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha..."
"Thank you so much, Su Wanwan, the lucky charm!"
That's right, the black snake was Luo Zixi's spatial pet. After it snatched Su Wanwan's necklace, it was quickly taken back into Luo Zixi's space.
The mission was completed perfectly!
Even if people outside search high and low, they will never find this black snake.
This necklace contained Su Wanwan's space. As soon as the necklace was placed inside, Luo Zixi discovered that her space immediately underwent a delightful change.
The space continued to expand, and all the supplies that were originally in Su Wanwan's space were transferred to her space as well, and it also gained many special functions.
