Chapter 15 Seeing through profiteers
At noon.
Qiu Sheng found Uncle Jiu who was chatting with Mr. Ren.
"Master, the Ren family has used up all the glutinous rice, why don't I go back to the Yizhuang to get some."
Mr. Ren waved his hand and said, "No need to worry, I'll ask Aunt Wu to buy some in the town."
Ren's family is rich and powerful, so it is natural to buy some glutinous rice.
However, after a while, Aunt Wu returned empty-handed.
"Master, somehow, all the glutinous rice in the rice shop in the town this morning was sold out."
"How could this happen?" Mr. Ren was very puzzled. When did glutinous rice sell like this?
But I don’t know that it was because Uncle Jiu said before that glutinous rice can prevent zombies.
When zombies appear, everyone in Renjia Town is in danger. When they hear that glutinous rice can prevent zombies, they naturally rush to buy them, which has caused the current situation of no rice to buy.
Uncle Jiu said, "In this way, I will ask Qiu Sheng to get some glutinous rice."
"Master, there is not much glutinous rice in the Yizhuang Village." Wencai reminded him.
When Uncle Jiu heard this, he asked Qiu Sheng to go to the neighboring town to buy it. Qiu Sheng didn't want to run far away, so he said, "Master, can't you use sticky rice?"
"Of course not." Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng, scaring Qiu Sheng so much that he didn't dare to talk much.
Uncle Jiu was about to pay out of his own pocket, and Mr. Ren took the lead in taking out ten silver dollars and handed them to Qiu Sheng, and said with a smile: "Qiu Sheng, please give me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, I will bring you rice back." After taking the ten oceans, Qiu Sheng smiled brightly and walked out of Ren's mansion quickly, making Uncle Jiu shook his head repeatedly.
Xiao Li remembered that in the original plot, Qiu Sheng was entangled by the female ghost Xiaoyu because he went to the next town to buy glutinous rice. When he was buying rice, he was cheated by the unscrupulous boss and bought glutinous rice with ginseng and sticky rice, which almost killed Wen Cai.
I just wanted to give a word to remind me, but I felt that doing so might arouse suspicion from Akito and Uncle Jiu.
After thinking a little, Xiao Li still caught up: "Senior brother, it's not peaceful recently. You can take this ghost-exorcist talisman to prevent accidents. Be careful when buying rice. Don't let people ingest other rice, otherwise it will be of no use."
"Thank you."
Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and reacted, took the ghost-exorcist talisman and put it in his pocket.
He always felt that his junior brother was a little sensible and his words were very accurate. He kept the words in his heart, put them away and then smiled and said, "Junior brother, if you are worried about me, you might as well borrow your gun from me to defend yourself."
"What? Master asked me, I'll go back now, senior brother, walk slowly." Xiao Li pretended to be inaudible. After saying that, he turned around and returned to Ren's mansion.
"cut."
Qiu Sheng curled his lips, then rode his beloved bicycle toward Jiuquan Town next door.
This time, Mr. Ren gave him ten dollars to buy rice for the Ren family. In addition to the money to buy rice, he could still be left, which was enough for him to be more casual. Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng's legs on the bicycle were much lighter.
At dusk.
The sun gradually sets, and the security team members who are searching for zombies are returning in vain.
In order to prevent zombies from attacking at night, Mr. Ren asked Uncle Jiu and others to stay overnight in Ren's mansion to prevent accidents.
Jiuquan Town.
Qiu Sheng rode his bicycle to a rice shop.
"Boss, give me fifty kilograms of glutinous rice."
"Okay." When the boss heard that the business was coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Qiu Sheng remembered what Xiao Li said before and reminded him: "Boss, remember it is glutinous rice, so you can't stick to the rice."
"Don't worry, we are famous for being honest here."
The boss took a lot of money, but as soon as he turned around, he whispered to his son: "Give him thirty kilograms of sticky rice."
In order to prevent Qiu Sheng from discovering, the boss began to talk about family matters and cover up his son.
But this time I was buying rice for Mr. Ren, Qiu Sheng attached more importance to it. In addition, Xiao Li reminded him that when the boss was blocking his sight, he noticed something was wrong. Qiu Sheng pushed the boss away and happened to see the boss's son sticking rice into the bag without anyone else.
When the boss saw that his silly son was exposed, he slapped his forehead.
Qiu Sheng rushed forward angrily and grabbed the boss's son, scolding: "What are you doing?"
"My dad asked me to ginseng for thirty kilograms of sticky rice." The boss's son was not very smart and directly said the boss's original words.
When Qiu Sheng heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone and pointed at the boss: "Okay, you are a profiteer, you dare to insult me."
"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding."
The boss quickly laughed, then kicked his son away, and smiled at Qiu Sheng, "My unlucky child is not very good at using his brain, must have heard it wrong. In this way, to show sincerity, I will give you five more pounds."
“It’s almost the same.”
When Qiu Sheng heard that he had a advantage, he calmed down and then watched the boss pretend to be a good person with his own eyes.
He gave a piece of ocean to the boss, and the money was cleared. Qiu Sheng tied the glutinous rice to the back seat of the bicycle and prepared to return to Renjia Town overnight.
...
Ren Mansion, around 10 o'clock in the evening.
Uncle Jiu was wandering at the door, frowning slightly.
"Why is Qiu Sheng not back yet? Nothing will happen!"
Renjia Town and Jiuquan Town are dozens of miles apart. Logically speaking, Qiu Sheng should be back at this time when he rides a bicycle.
Although Uncle Jiu is usually very strict with Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai is because Uncle Jiu has expectations for them. In private, he is really good to the two apprentices.
Xiao Li looked at the worried uncle Jiu and walked forward.
At this time, three options appeared again in front of you.
[Choose one, volunteer to bring Qiu Sheng back, and reward the purple orchid grass with ten kilograms!]
[Choose 2, comfort Uncle Jiu, let him not worry, and reward Dayun Auto!]
[Choose three, ignore them, reward closed-mouth!]
After thinking about it, Xiao Li felt that Qiu Sheng was probably entangled by a female ghost.
Although he had already given Qiu Sheng the ghost-expressing talisman, Kese character had a knife on his head, maybe Qiu Sheng was confused by the female ghost and threw it away.
Based on Xiao Li's understanding of Qiu Sheng, there is a high possibility that such a thing will happen.
Now I silently recite: "Choose one."
Then he said to Uncle Jiu: "Master, let me go and have a look."
"Well, okay, be careful on the way."
Uncle Jiu was quite relieved about Xiao Li's strength.
Although Xiao Li was late in the game, he made great progress and had a pistol self-defense. I think there should be no problem.
He wanted to stay in the Ren family and couldn't get rid of it. Xiao Li went to find Qiu Sheng, which was the most suitable one.
Xiao Li was very straightforward and set off with a lantern.
There is no way. In this era, flashlights are rare things, and you can only use lanterns or torches when walking at night.
Fortunately, the sky is relatively clean in this era, and it is sunny, with cloudless clouds and bright stars. Even if you don’t use lanterns, you can see a range of about a hundred meters in a spacious place.
These days Xiao Li has already had a certain understanding of the terrain near Renjia Town, so he will not get lost.
After walking for more than four hours, Xiao Li didn't meet Qiu Sheng all the way, but saw a deserted mansion in the deserted forest with a bicycle parked at the door.
