Chapter 400 Insidious Trick
Now it would be great if there were face bugs. Just look at whether the face bugs turn red and whether the old Li in front of you is tall and blind. It is a pity that the only bottle of face bugs we brought out was , it was already used up when dealing with the "Scorched Smoke Bee" in the cave.
"I heard from Mr. Ouyang that you have red foxes here. We think they are very rare. We would like to buy a few. I wonder if it is possible." Crazy Six's words surprised us. Why did he suddenly make such a request? He didn't even say hello to us.
Old man Ouyang was stunned when Madman Liu suddenly made this request, but Old Li still looked unruly and dismissive. He didn't even look at Madman Liu, and just laughed dryly and said: " Okay, if it’s not too expensive, of course I’ll buy it, five thousand each, but for Lao Ou’s sake, I’ll give you half the price,”
This price surprised us. We didn’t expect it to be so expensive, but to Crazy Six, this amount of money seemed nothing. He also smiled and responded lukewarmly: “Ha, I can’t let you suffer, no. Is it just 10,000 yuan each? Considering your friendship with Lao Ou, I will give you 15,000 yuan, and the 5,000 yuan will be treated as my invitation to dinner."
Seeing Crazy Six's actions so generously and his words so arrogantly, Lao Li couldn't help turning his head and looked at Crazy Six carefully. Then he curled his lips and said with a sarcastic sneer: "Okay, since you are willing It’s expensive to buy, so of course I don’t need to accept it. First-hand money, first-hand goods.”
The old man Ouyang next to him said a little awkwardly: "Oh, I said you are an old man, you only care about money, bah, given our friendship, why don't you give me one?"
"Ha, Lao Ou, friendship is friendship and business is business. These are two different things. Well, next time you drink, why don't you pay for it? Besides, it was your friend who paid the price. I also said just now Well, for your sake, I can give it half price, but your friends seem to be rich. Since he is willing to pay a high price, why not do it? If you don’t make money when you have money, you are a fool."
Through this short contact, we felt that this Lao Li did have a weird temper, harsh words, and a kind of arrogance in his bones. He should not be an easy person to get along with.
Crazy Six took a look in his pocket and found that he didn’t bring so much cash. We took out all the money we had and collected more than 5,000 yuan. Crazy Six felt a little embarrassed if we couldn’t get so much cash. , his own momentum would be suppressed by Lao Li. When he was in trouble, the Japanese female translator and the two female assistants whispered a few words, and the two female translators took out a stack of US dollars from their bags.
The female translator smiled and said to Crazy Six: "Let's pay the money." Then she turned to Lao Li and asked: "Can U.S. dollars be okay?"
Lao Li still curled his lips and looked dismissive: "Of course, anything except Japanese yen will do."
Having just heard the female translator and the two female assistants speaking Japanese, Lao Li probably guessed that they were Japanese, so he answered provocatively.
Suddenly, we all felt embarrassed. Although he is Japanese, he did not provoke you. Why should he be so embarrassed?
The female translator pretended not to hear anything and took out a stack of US dollars and handed it to Lao Li.
Lao Li took the U.S. dollar bill, spat on his finger, squinted his eyes, clicked it and said, "Well, based on the exchange rate, it's a little more than fifteen thousand, but I don't have any change, so I won't give you the change." "
Grandma, this old Li is really annoying. Looking at his virtue, he always feels like others owe him money.
After collecting the money, Lao Li returned to the cave. After a while, he came out with a cloth bag in his hand, and the bag contained a red fox.
We all went over to take a look. The size and appearance of this red fox were no different from those of ordinary foxes. The only difference was that its fur was all blood red, and there was not a single stray hair. Except for the fact that it was different from the "blood fox" Except for being smaller in size, their coat color is exactly the same.
The three Japanese female translators and Madman Six saw this kind of fox for the first time and couldn't help but express surprise.
"Is this fox dead? Why is it so motionless? I don't want to buy a dead fox for fifteen thousand dollars and take it home," Madman Six said to Lao Li, but he was also very rude.
Lao Li replied coldly: "Don't worry, this fox was temporarily stunned by my smoke. After you take it back, kill it quickly or put it in an iron cage. Otherwise, when it wakes up, I’m afraid you can’t handle it,”
What does this mean? It’s such a small fox, how can we not be able to deal with it?
Old man Ouyang hurriedly explained that this kind of red fox, in addition to being different in color from ordinary foxes, is also much more ferocious in temperament than ordinary foxes and can easily attack people. Therefore, when Lao Li sells foxes, he usually sells them first. Then, before the fox wakes up, he requires the buyer to put it in a cage or kill it. If he does not comply with his request and the seller is bitten or even killed by the fox, he will not be responsible.
When we heard that this fox could actually bite people to death, we couldn't help but be surprised. "How long will it take for this fox to wake up?" the female translator asked.
Old Li glanced at her and almost snorted: "In three or four hours." Three or four hours later, that's okay, we still have enough time to go back and prepare.
Now that we have met Lao Li, we won't find anything new for a while, and with Lao Li's personality, we probably won't be able to extract any useful information from him, so we can only go back first.
When leaving, Lao Li only said hello to Old Man Ouyang, but paid no attention to the rest of us. He didn't even look at us, and got in through the low door again.
On the way back, Old Man Ouyang said with a smile that this Old Li had a very weird temper and it was impossible for most people to get along with him, but the two of them could still talk relatively well.
Just after seeing this one time, we really felt that this old Li was indeed a weirdo. It was a miracle that Old Man Ouyang could become friends with such a person.
Crazy Liu didn't say a word all the way, his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. He looked at the bag with the fox in Xiao Lei's hand, and was lost in thought.
After returning to the hotel, we went to Crazy Six's room on the third floor this time. His room was slightly larger than ours, so it was more convenient for everyone to discuss things together.
After everyone sat down, Hongmei suggested that they first find an iron cage and put the fainted fox in it quickly to prevent the fox from waking up and hurting people. Crazy Liu Ze smiled and shook his head, confused. He said: "Don't look for it, don't be deceived by that old man."
Being deceived by Lao Li, could it be that what Lao Li said about the ferocious temperament of foxes was all false? It shouldn't be. Old Man Ouyang also said the same. Could it be that Old Man Ouyang was also lying?
Before we could speak, Old Man Ouyang quickly explained: "Oh, it's true that this kind of fox has a ferocious character. I've seen it with my own eyes. A businessman from other places bought this kind of fox. It didn't work as Old Li said. Before waking up, he was put into an iron cage. As a result, his face was scratched by a fox, and half of his fingers were bitten off. Everyone in the industry knew about this. Hundreds of people saw it with their own eyes at the time, and even if such a fox was Put it in a cage, and when it wakes up, it will jump up and down in the cage like crazy, and scream with teeth and claws. Everyone knows this, how can you say that Lao Li is telling lies?"
Madman Six didn't argue with the old man's words. He just picked up the red fox and touched the fox's forehead. Suddenly, he plucked it off from the fox's forehead with his finger. When we took a closer look at one thing, we couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out to be a small needle.
Crazy Six put the needle on the palm of his hand and showed us: This needle is like a small thumbtack, with a round tip at the top, which is smaller than a grain of rice. The entire needle is less than one centimeter, very small. small.
What is going on? Why is there such a needle stuck in the fox's head? We know that the only one who understands the secret is Crazy Six.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Madman Six explained: "Don't forget, I can see the movement of meridians, not only of people, but also of animals. When that old Li opened his pocket and showed us this red fox , I discovered that the meridians on the head of this fox were running very abnormally, as if they had been disturbed by something, and this thing should have been invaded from the outside.
Moreover, once the movement of the meridians in the head is disrupted, the fox will be in a crazy state. However, judging from the inherent characteristics of the meridians of the fox, the original temperament of this kind of fox is not wild, and is even worse than that of ordinary foxes. All must be docile. It was after Lao Li used this iron nail, or iron needle, to insert it into the fox's head and fix it on the acupuncture points that the fox's temperament changed drastically."
All of us were stunned, especially old man Ouyang, who had a big mouth and stared at the iron nail blankly. He came over for a long time before he muttered: "Then why does Lao Li want to Do this,"
This is also a common question for all of us. Yes, why did Lao Li do this? Why did he use this unbelievable method to turn a docile fox into so cruel.
"I think I can probably guess it," Xiao Lei said, and all eyes suddenly focused on him. He continued calmly: "This fox can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, which is really very good." Expensive. For such an expensive fox, it is inevitable that many people will take advantage of it. As long as Lao Li creates an image of this kind of fox that is extremely ferocious, he can scare away many people who plot against this kind of fox."
What Xiao Lei said does make sense.
If they knew that this kind of fox was so ferocious, people who wanted to take advantage of it would definitely have some scruples. In this way, it would be a good deterrent to those who are concerned about foxes.
Crazy Liu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we can only think of this now. The reason why Lao Li did this must be based on this consideration. As for whether there are deeper reasons, we still don't know. ,However, from this we can see that this old Li is extremely scheming, and can also be said to be extremely insidious,"
