Chapter 15

r several attempts before she seemed better.Liu Yushan stroked the mountain spirit's head and said faintly, "Go, bring over the things.""" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to trans..."A... a corpse demon," I had never heard of such a thing. My heart pounded even harder with fear.

"Grandma, can you heal me I can give you money. I don't want to die."

I said, afraid.

Liu Po shook her head and said: "Tell me the truth, what do you do If you don't want to say, then please leave."

>

"I...."

My heart is conflicted. If I reveal my identity, I know it could implicate more than just myself. My family and the Sun brothers would also be in danger.

When I jumped off the bridge, he stopped me. He was willing to keep me, this little kid, by his side and nurture me, to give me a bite to eat. Although I didn't say it out loud, I'm very grateful for him.

I couldn't betray them behind their backs.

Not only that, but once word got out, Li Jing knew my true identity, that I was a criminal, she definitely wouldn't be friends with me.

After much deliberation, I took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, although I want to be cured, there are some things I can't say."

">

Liu Po looked at me in surprise for a long time, then shook her head after a while and said, "Alright, I understand. Come with me."

"> "

"Grandma, what are you doing" I asked her.

Of course I'll go treat you, what You want to die

"But, you just said..."

Liu Po covered her bedridden husband with a blanket. She turned to me and smiled, "Someone who makes a living in the underworld, some qualities are truly precious."

">

That night, Liu po led me to the east room. The floor of the east room was covered with many large black jars, looking like the kind used for pickling vegetables.

Liu Po told me to turn around and not look.

I only heard a sound of a lid opening behind me, then the sound of grinding medicine.

Later, Old Madam Liu brought some gauze and rubbed a lot of black medicinal ointment onto my swollen fingers. The ointment had a very strong fishy smell.

To be honest, I still don't know what was in the black box back then. I once guessed it might have been scorpions or geckos or something like that.

I applied the medicine that Liu Po had made for me, and that night my finger stopped hurting. I stayed at Li Jing's house overnight, and the next morning when I removed the gauze, my finger had already swollen down. It was amazing.

Liu Po saved my life, and Li Jing saved my life. I want to repay their kindness.

I called Li Jing out secretly and said to him, "Thank you, Li Jing. I, Xiang Yunfeng, will help you. I will help you and your mother pay back the 50,000 yuan. I'll use my own money."

“

Li Jing suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Xiangyun Feng, are you talking nonsense Fifty thousand yuan Your own money You couldn't earn that even if you worked for ten years!"

">

She didn't believe me, and I don't blame her. I silently took note of this matter in my heart.

Later I asked about her father's situation, asking what kind of business he was in and how he had lost so much money.

As soon as I brought this up, Li Jing's face immediately turned sour. After my repeated questioning, Li Jing finally revealed the truth.

Li Jing's father is named Li Mingquan. He used to be the manager of a brick factory in Shunde. In the past two years, the government has undertaken a project in Shunde to build numerous public toilets and waste transfer stations around the city's moat. This is intended to prevent people from littering or urinating in the river.

Li Ming was intelligent and saw an opportunity. He secured the position of raw materials supplier for this project by resorting to bribery.

Don't underestimate a public restroom. If it's well-run, it can be just as profitable as those hollow pipe projects. Not to mention there are many more public restrooms and garbage stations.

Li Quanming made a fortune through this project operation. Roughly calculated, he earned over 100,000 yuan.

For the Li family, this should have been a good thing. But Li Quanming had a hobby: he liked to buy antiques. And Li Quanming was the kind who pretended to understand, an amateur posing as an expert.

At this time, the domestic antique market was in a period of full-scale growth, with many things increasing in price every year.

Li Quanming's construction project made a fortune, and many people knew about it. It was common knowledge that he loved collecting antiques, so three people teamed up to con him.

How can you scam Li Quanming out of a big sum of money

two characters.

Set up a trap.

These three people were peddlers from the nearby antique market. First, they had people dig a large pit on Mount Gou in the north, and then the three of them dug a tomb passage inside the pit. They bought a large pile of fake antiques from the antique market, including gold and silver artifacts, jade wares, porcelain, stone carvings, wooden carvings, and so on.

Of course, the gold is made of copper, the jade are stone powder pressed by a lathe, and the porcelain and stone carvings are all new, they're all fakes.

To make the tomb look more realistic, they would dig trenches in the hillside every time it rained to channel large amounts of rainwater into the fake tomb.

Water flooded the tomb, turning it into a mud pit. All those fake antiques were buried in the mud.

After carefully planning for several months, they felt the time was right and reached out to Li Quanming.

Li Quanming may not have much vision, but he knows one thing: good antiques can be worth a lot of money.

Three people brought Li Quanming to a fake tomb. Looking at the gold and silver artifacts gleaming from the mud in the burial chamber, Li Quanming's eyes widened with astonishment.

These people dared to ask for a price. They told Li Quanming, "Mr. Li, if you want it, all the stuff in this tomb, 200,000 yuan!"

Finally, after some haggling, Li Quanming settled the price at 160,000.

To get these things, he emptied his family's savings and still wasn't enough. He borrowed tens of thousands from outside.

Later on, everything was sorted out. As for those three people, they had long since disappeared.

Li Quanming thought about selling a few things first to try it out, and the result was as expected, no one wanted his stuff.

In one tomb, nearly a hundred burial objects were all fake, and together they didn't cost over a thousand yuan.

If the goods don't sell, there's no money. But the money he borrowed has to be repaid, with interest. In less than half a year, the principal plus interest had rolled up to 50,000 yuan.

The creditor came to his door every day to collect the debt. He was driven to desperation and eventually ran away, leaving Li Jing and her daughter behind. Now, no one knows where he's hiding.

He ran, and Li Jing and her daughter naturally became the primary targets of the debt collector, after all, you can run from the monk but not from the temple.

That's why I was only able to see the debt collection scene the day before yesterday.

After finishing her story about her father, Li Jing lowered her head and said, “Xiang Yunfeng, I’m planning to quit school after high school graduation. I want to work at an electronics factory. I know a sister who says the factory pays 600 yuan each month.”

">

Heaving a heavy heart back to the inn, I still couldn't shake thoughts of Li Jing. I pondered how I could help her repay her debt as soon as possible.

Wang, the head, and Sun Lao San were at the inn. Sun Lao Er and a mole were nowhere to be seen.

I saw that Wang's face was pale, so I asked him what was wrong. Had he found the main burial chamber

Sun Lao San and Wang Ba Tou were both smoking, their faces grim enough to frighten anyone.

Old Sun San threw away his cigarette, he clenched his fist and said.

"My second brother is missing, he disappeared last night in the pit...."
