Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 126 The Rotten Drunkard

We stayed in Hunyuan for another day. We didn’t really do anything on this day. It was nothing more than eating and playing. However, behind the scenes, the three of us were secretly conspiring with another matter. Can persuade Roland to let her return to Guangdong by herself. However, we don't know what this female **** thinks in her heart, even if we talk dryly, she is paranoid and refuses, as if she is completely dependent on it.

In desperation, we and Roland explained the next itinerary of leaving Hunyuan to Changbai Mountain. We did not mention the specific intention of going to Changbai Mountain. Originally thought that Roland would retreat in the face of difficulties, but we didn't expect that Roland, a female bastard, was not only excited, but clamored to leave immediately.

Can't stand Roland's stubbornness, we can only compromise.

It’s been a while since I left Chongqing. Originally, Jiang Yilong and I should have gone back to take over the shop. We didn’t expect that Bai Ling had something wrong. When I left Hunyuan, I made a special call to contact Liu Jiangshui. Now even we ourselves are not sure about the specific time to go back. In addition, the store’s business sells bits and pieces, and even the rent and labor costs are not enough. Simply, I gave Liu Jiangshui a month’s salary and the store in advance. Turnover costs.

Everything was in order and we boarded the train to Jilin.

A few days later, all the way, we came to a small town near Changbai Mountain. The cold weather is a little different from what we expected in advance. Fortunately, we have prepared enough warm clothes. Otherwise, in a climate of tens of degrees below zero, you can just go out and take a stroll, you can directly freeze into popsicles.

We stayed in the small town for two days, pretending to be buyers and asking for news. However, we did not come at the right time. The best time to enter the mountain to gather ginseng is from April to August. Usually a group of a few or more than a dozen people is called a gang, and acting alone is called a single stick. Now if you want to buy ginseng, you can only go to the show, but how can there be spiritual things like Shenjing?

"Boss, we just want some fresh ginseng, you can tell how much it is."

"What a joke, the snow has closed the mountain. It would kill people if you enter the mountain now. Come back next year."

We run into walls everywhere, and no one wants to be our guide to the mountains to gather ginseng. But we didn't even think that the boss who had consulted on the first day gathered around a dozen young brawny men in the area, clamoring and threatening to drive us out.

At first, we were confused, but later learned that these people rely on the mountains and eat the mountains. Ginseng is their food and clothing parents. If outsiders want to come to dig ginseng, they cut off their food and clothing. How could we allow outsiders to enter the mountains? Pick ginseng. Later, somehow, these talents gave up after spending some money to pay tribute. However, after these people left, we learned that we were blackmailed naked.

As a buyer of ginseng, during our stay in the town, we did not purchase a ginseng from any participant or from private hands. Instead, we wanted to go into the mountain to collect ginseng personally. The purpose was to touch the interests of the locals. Bottom line, they are unwilling to take care of it naturally. However, the boss who participated in the venue once said that now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, even the locals will not venture into the mountains to collect ginseng. We have no experience and no guides. Even if we do venture into the mountains, we will eventually be. Nothing can be achieved, and it is impossible to talk about the natural touch of their interests. However, it was they who saw us as a foreigner, and took the opportunity to kill some of our unlucky foreigners.

We were not in a good mood after being slaughtered. Of course, this is also irrelevant, the key point is that Bai Ling's situation is getting worse and worse. According to her current situation, in ten and a half months, her two hundred years of Taoism will be completely destroyed.

Roland said, "There is nothing to play in this place. Let's go back tomorrow."

Jiang Yilong said: "They tell you not to come, but to come, you have to go and go by yourself."

Roland said, "Ginseng is not a rare thing now. I can't buy it anywhere. I really don't understand if you have to come here on a special trip and go into the mountains to pick fresh ginseng."

We wandered around the town for another morning. It was near noon and we were ready to eat at will to fill up our stomachs in a small restaurant. Just as I was about to enter the door, a middle-aged man with a felt hat on his head and a sloppy face and a stubborn face ran into me full of arms. If I hadn’t settled down, I would be knocked down on the snow by him. It’s not too late. What to say to him, only to hear the owner of the small restaurant yelling at him with contempt.

"Repay me the credit first. I'll guarantee you a drink. You can be a drunkard if you are drunk."

"Boss Luo, you can just enjoy two bites... Don't worry, when the spring starts next year, I promise to pay you all that I owe you."

"You drunkard, don't delay Lao Tzu's business, get out quickly, the farther you go, the better."

Seeing his face blocked in the doorway, the boss furiously took the snow-shoveling shovel and drove him away for a long distance. Turning around, I saw a few of us standing at the entrance of the restaurant, knowing that we were customers for dinner, and enthusiastically invited us in.

After eating and checking out, I was about to leave. I found that the middle-aged man who hit me at the door was kicked out across the street by a wine shop owner who specializes in liquor. The curse was very unpleasant. Out of curiosity, I asked the boss: "Boss, what's the matter with this person?"

When the boss saw the person I was pointing at, his eyes suddenly scorned and said, "Don't say anything, Xu Changfu is quite famous with us."

I said: "Famous?"

The boss nodded and said, "Any place where restaurants sell alcohol, no one doesn't know this guy. He is addicted to alcohol and owes bad debts everywhere, a horrible alcoholic."

Jiang Yilong said: "It's enough for people to live for his sake."

The boss agreed and said, "That’s not true. However, he used to be like this. He went into the mountains to collect ginseng to support his family, and he had a good time. But last year, his wife ran away with a wealthy ginseng buyer. His son and him went into the mountain to collect ginseng in another accident, and now they have become this kind of virtue. Hey, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

I was startled and said: "He is a ginseng picker?"

"It's not surprising. Eight out of ten local people live by gathering ginseng." The boss went to work on his own when he finished speaking.

The situation we are now facing is not the determination to go into the mountains to gather ginseng, but an urgent need for a guide who is familiar with the geographical environment here. After confirming that Xu Changfu was a ginseng picker in the boss's mouth, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my head.

Seeing me startled, Bai Ling pushed me and said, "What have you been watching him doing?"

I said, "Why don't you try him?"

Xu Changfu lay at the entrance of the wine room, begging for a long time to no avail, so he had to get up like a walking dead and prepare to leave. Upon seeing this, I hurried to catch up. A few meters away, I called out his name, Xu Changfu ignored him, I speeded up my pace and blocked him in front. "Xu Changfu."

Xu Changfu said: "I don't know you."

I said, "Want to drink?"

Xu Changfu's spirit was lifted, his eyes were full, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."

"I can manage as much alcohol as you want, provided that you must do me a favor."

I told Xu Changfu about my intention to go into the mountains to collect ginseng. After hearing this, Xu Changfu said, "It turns out that you are the one who wants to go into the mountains to collect ginseng now."

Jiang Yilong said: "Have you heard of it too?"

"This place is not big. There are only a few people coming and going. Even if you don't want to know about it, it's difficult. Moreover, I heard that you were slaughtered by boss Han and the others yesterday." Xu Changfu said again: "I'm a little curious. Although the place here is not big, there are only three participating companies, and there are some stocks in private hands. You really want to buy ginseng. As long as the price is right, it is not difficult at all. Why do you want to enter the mountain now? How about picking ginseng?"

I said, "This... we just want fresh ginseng. If you are willing to do this for us, the price is good."

Xu Changfu said: "However, now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, not to mention the fact that the mountain can't be picked, it is very likely that it will even catch up with your life..."

"Do you want to drink?"

"think."

Xu Changfu was dressed in sloppy clothes. He hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and he could smell the sour smell on his body. He was also a person who had no money to owe alcohol money on credit everywhere. Such a person would not be seen. However, now he is like a life-saving straw in our hands, no matter what, we can't easily miss this opportunity. Seeing Xu Changfu hesitating for a while, I took my own initiative to invite Xu Changfu to the restaurant where I had just eaten, ordered a table of food, and made a special trip to blanch him two pots of wine.

"Bad drunkard, what good luck did you have today? Someone invited you to eat and drink."

"Hey, the boss will iron me another pot."

"It's hot, it's okay. What do you owe me for wine?"

"Boss, how much wine did he owe you before, I will now pay him off in one lump sum..."

When I made this decision blurt out, I knew that I was taking the wronged one. It didn’t take long before several bosses from nearby Xu Changfu who owed wine money came to hear the news. I gritted my teeth and helped Xu Changfu pay off all the money I owed. NS.

Xu Changfu drank the wine happily. From around one o'clock noon, he drank it by himself until four o'clock in the afternoon. Although it was still early, because of the weather here, the sky was getting dark outside. Xu Changfu finally had enough money and was about to leave the restaurant, but when he was leaving, he asked the boss for a pot in his arms.

Jiang Yilong's face turned purple and said, "Little Junior Brother, you have lost a lot of this transaction."

Roland said, "This guy doesn't even know who his last name is, what should I do now?"

In fact, my heart was dripping blood. I didn't expect that Xu Changfu was owing wine money on credit far more than I expected. The most important thing is that Xu Changfu has never made a decision, and now he drinks so dimly that I don't even know what to do next.

At this moment, Xu Changfu took a few steps and suddenly stopped and turned to look at us. "Such as... if you don't... don't dislike... go... go go to my house first..."
