Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 12 The old sheep exposed

For the next two days, everything was quiet, and the street runner An Yue seemed to have calmed down too.

Yu Ziqing could notice that although he appeared to be the same as the previous few days, he seemed to have no intention of continuing to investigate.

When I see people, I will continue to greet and chat, but the content of the chat tends to be food, and I don’t even know where to get some snacks and distribute them to the people in the village.

Even, Erhan was willing to have a chat with him.

Yu Ziqing knew that his feeling was right. This guy, Erhan, looked like a fool, but he was more focused and sensitive than anyone else on some things.

He felt that after An Yue went to the back mountain and inspected the dead old people, he should have given up.

Yu Ziqing didn't know who Lao Yang was. Lao Yang had already said that as long as he dared to tell who he was, he might be in danger, but it didn't affect Yu Ziqing's guessing.

Changing places, if they are those who want to find the old sheep, the focus of the search will not be on the wasteland, because the time is too long.

At most, just to be on the safe side, bring the wasteland with me, and Jinlan Village is even more convenient, and I will scan it routinely.

The sky is bright, and today's breakfast is rare and rich.

Today is the day of delivery, and this day is also a day for collective rest in the village. All the miners no longer have to take the risk of digging deep underground.

Yu Ziqing also relaxed a little. The oil squeezed from Jinlan mushrooms has also been tested. After several days, it has not produced toxins and spoiled it. You can be extravagant and make a lot of deep-fried delicacies.

With the successful experience of oil extraction, I pondered for several days, washed out the starch, and made some vermicelli with the starch, but it was still not broken.

After the wasteful tossing, the medicinal value of Jinlan mushroom and the tonic substances contained in it have been greatly reduced. Basically, only the value of food is left, but the benefits are also there. , but it can be stored for a long time, and it will not break down and produce toxins.

Putting it outside, this kind of practice will be beaten to death, but the people in the village like it very much. What they care about is always just to fill their stomachs.

The few helpers in the kitchen have to teach a dish for one job, and the very principled aunt also made a promise on the spot that Yu Ziqing would not be required to carry brocade mushrooms in the future. There is no need to do any work.

In the open space in the middle of the village, there were crowds of people, a rare lively scene, and some people even used some clean water that they were not willing to waste on weekdays to wash their faces and hair.

As the chef, Yu Ziqing was very busy. Erhan squatted aside, constantly moving his nose, sniffing the delicious aroma.

Leaning on crutches, Li Chang walked over unsteadily, looking at a large bowl of fried delicious food, he was amazed, with a smile in his eyes.

Like everyone else in the village, he doesn't care how valuable Jinlan mushrooms are. He only cares that everyone has enough to eat and must not starve to death. This minimum need is already the most important expectation here.

Yu Ziqing helped them use the original things here to make food that can be preserved for a long time. Can he see if Yu Ziqing doesn't like it?

"Erhan, you have to teach Brother Yu to practice boxing well, and strive to build up your body as soon as possible. If you are lazy, I will break your legs."

"Grandpa, don't worry, don't worry."

With a smile on his face, Yu Ziqing listened to the two gentlemen's kind instructions, and glanced at the crowd from time to time.

An Yue has been in the crowd, following a group of villagers who don't know what they are talking about, anyway, from a distance, everyone is chatting happily.

The venue was bustling with people coming and going, and no one noticed. Two new villagers left the crowd at this time and went to the direction of the nest. Even if they saw it, no one would care.

"Are you sure it's useful?" One of them was sallow and thin, with a little hesitation on his face: "If the surname Yu finds out about this, he will definitely turn his back on him. The chief of the village thinks highly of him."

"Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Drilling and mining all day long, maybe one day there will be a landslide, and you will die in the ground." The other man gritted his teeth, his face was a little grim, and he was so full of reluctance that he almost wrote it on his face.

"But at least you can eat enough here. It's not like you don't know what kind of life you live outside. I think it's pretty good. At least we work honestly. No one cheats us of our food." The yellow-faced man was still hesitating. .

"What do you know? Didn't you listen to that person? The Dagan where he is located is not cold at all. The food grown is so much that when the wind blows it, it is like a wave. No one will starve to death. As long as we can follow He's going to work, no matter what, it's much better than here, don't you want to go?"

"I would like to think about it, but I don't think it's good for us to do so."

"If you offend, you will be offended. Anyway, after today is over, we may leave. That person said that day that the fresh mutton he ate in Dagan, rinsed with clean water, is top-notch delicious. He just came out for business and never I’ve eaten it, what does it mean you don’t understand?”

"What? Did he ask us to come here and steal that sheep?"

"No." The grim-faced man sneered: "What do you know, Brother Yu was arrested together with us, but he was not caught by evil methods. The sheep he raised was probably transformed by humans, not by humans. What has he been keeping for?"

"Uh, I don't understand."

"In the whole village, there is only one sheep that is still alive. The man who came to work has hinted at us several times in the past two days, in case we don't understand. He has also asked this and that in a roundabout way these days. , He really thinks we are stupid if we have little knowledge, he is looking for someone, but he can't find it now, he wants to see if Brother Yu's sheep is it."

"Did he say he could take us away?"

"I didn't say, but you gamble or not. If you gamble, you have a chance to leave and go to work. If you don't gamble, you will spend your whole life mining here, and someday you will die in the mine." Like a gambler with a face, he is unwilling to let go of even the slightest possibility.

"I……"

"If you don't come with me, I'll go by myself!" After leaving a word, he turned around and left.

Seeing the opponent walking away, the yellow-faced man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and chased after him.

The two came to Yu Ziqing's den, got in and took a look, and saw the old sheep curled up with its hooves under its belly, lying quietly in the haystack, slightly opened its eyes, and the rectangular pupils reflected people.

When the ferocious man saw the old sheep, he smiled, took out a belt rope, and carefully wrapped it around the old sheep's neck, looking like he was afraid of hurting the old sheep, while doing it, he was still thinking about himself.

"Hey, our brothers, whether we die miserably or soar into the sky, go to eat and drink spicy food, it all depends on you, that General An, if you are looking for you, you don't have to suffer here, my brothers This is a last resort, so please don't mind."

The two led the old sheep, walked out of the nest, and slid along the foot of the mountain, all the way to the place where the crowd gathered.

As for An Yue, he was chatting with a group of people here who didn't know what to do, and had a very happy chat. When he saw the two brothers approaching with an old sheep, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger.

In the distance, Yu Ziqing, who was still cooking, looked up from time to time, and saw that An Yue was always there, so he continued to cook, but this time, when he looked up again, he saw two puppies, leading the old sheep. the venue.

Yu Ziqing's body froze, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water in the middle of the winter, and his whole body was numb. Thousands of thoughts, like landslides and tsunamis, impacted his reason.

After all the calculations, he guided the other party, let An Yue scan a large circle, gave up here and continued to search, never expected that there were really talkative bastards, and told An Yue that he still had a sheep.

And An Yue probably thought about it for a few days, and had never seen Lao Yang before, so he became a little suspicious, but he kept his face for two days, and it was not until he was about to leave that he suddenly let someone do it.

Even if it's just a sheep, you have to confirm it yourself.

In this way, it is not what he is looking for, and it is not considered a turn of events, at most it is a small episode, which will not affect the subsequent transactions, nor will it affect others.

If so, not necessarily...

"Two poles, I call you uncle, you dare to touch Lao Tzu's sheep!"

Yu Ziqing was stunned, immediately shouted violently, dropped the spatula in his hand, picked up the bone cutting knife next to him, and rushed over there.

The noisy crowd was slightly taken aback, they all looked at the two brothers leading the old sheep.

The smile on Li Chang's face instantly subsided, and his eyes became sharper. He looked at Erhan at the side, and said softly.

"As long as the man surnamed An dares to fight, no matter what method you use, kill him."

"Okay, Grandpa." Erhanhan laughed, and when he clenched his fist, his bones exploded.

Seeing Yu Ziqing rushing towards him, the two brothers quickly accelerated and approached An Yue.

And An Yue also stood up, and approached while shouting.

"What's this for? You guys give it back to Brother Yu."

After one or two breaths, An Yue had snatched the old sheep from the hands of the two brothers. At first glance, it really was the case.

He untied the long belt around the old sheep's neck, and touched the old sheep's body with one hand. Just for a moment, his expression was slightly startled, with some doubts.

The old sheep drooped his eyelids, very indifferent, his rectangular pupils reflected his appearance, and he was still chewing a few pieces of hay slowly in his mouth.

In an instant, a trace of relief appeared in An Yue's eyes, and she smiled and shook her head slightly.

He supported the old sheep with one hand, looked at Yu Ziqing who was rushing, and said with a smile.

"Brother Yu, don't get excited, it's just a misunderstanding."

With that said, he pushed Lao Yang to Yu Ziqing's side.

Yu Ziqing rushed up and hugged Lao Yang, the hand holding the knife was shaking.

This is really a murderous heart.

Countless doubts surged up in my mind, but at this moment, I could only force myself down.

With a dark face, without saying a word, he walked back with the old sheep, and he was really not in the mood to eat this meal.

The following routine rhetoric to resolve the misunderstanding is meaningless, he doesn't really want to hear it, and if he stays any longer, he is afraid of revealing his flaws.

Bringing the old sheep back to the nest again, the blood rushing to Yu Ziqing's forehead also subsided, and his face turned pale.

And the old sheep still looked indifferent.

Erhan came with him, and when he saw that Yu Ziqing was fine, he stood aside.

After noon, someone came to call Erhan, and the village chief came to him, and Yu Ziqing knew that the transaction this time had been completed and An Yue had already left, and Yu Ziqing's tense body suddenly relaxed, and only then did he feel The muscles all over his body were a little sore, and his back was wet.

He sat on the ground and looked at the old sheep with some doubts.

The old sheep drooped his eyelids, and there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you earlier, it's fine, don't worry."

"I didn't know it would be like this..." Yu Ziqing was confused, and he still didn't understand why An Yue acted like a normal person after checking the old sheep and did nothing.

"Didn't you say I didn't teach you? What have you learned now?"

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"I told you a long time ago, I now have four stomachs." The old sheep found a comfortable position and lay down on his stomach, and said slowly: "The third-rate animal-making skills of those shepherds can make me change into a stomach." Four stomachs? Even though you have never read the classics on animal creation and have no in-depth understanding, have you never thought of it?"

"This..." Yu Ziqing was shocked.

"Remember, a fake is a fake after all. No matter how hard you try, it's still a fake. Only the real can be flawless."

　Accidentally, today's update is almost [-], and it's still a public period, above...
