Chapter 176: Foreign Guests

I am not the ignorant little brat who just walked out of Majiagou.

At least, there is no free lunch in the world, and I still understand this very well.

Especially after being fooled by that woman Fei Ruite several times before, I almost lost my life, I am still very vigilant now.

Hou Xia looks just an ordinary person, not old, and probably can't do anything, but he has worked hard with us for several days, and it's impossible for him to do us a favor. Where is such a good thing in the world?

Sure enough, Hou Xia became silent after hearing my words.

After a while, he spoke, "I have something I want. I see you running around to find that sign these days, so I guess that sign must be very important to you, so I can take you to find that sign, but I also have requirements."

After hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, you are either a traitor or a thief. If he has no requirements, I can't believe him.

"Okay, what do you want, you say."

Hou Xia was silent for a moment and said, "I want money."

"Money?" I was stunned for a moment when I heard this. I thought he would have any requests, but I didn't expect that I could not react so bluntly.

But it's okay to be straightforward. After all, I'm not a powerful person with great hands and eyes. The identity of the Dragon Head of the Burial Gate is similar to the name. If he really has any troubles, I may not be able to do it.

So I took out my cell phone simply: "Okay, it's easy to say if you want money. Do you have a bank card? I'll transfer the money to you."

Who knew that Hou Xia looked at me with contempt: "I'm going to return the bank card. Now I use WeChat and Alipay. You don't look much older than me. Why are you so outdated? Now those who are in the underworld are keeping pace with the times."

I was speechless for a moment, and Tan Jin burst out laughing from behind. I resisted the urge to kick him and coughed: "I have WeChat, but I'm used to using the bank card, you can wait."

I lowered my head and pressed my phone for a while, and then Hou Xia reported an account there. After a while, I raised my head: "Okay, the money has been given to you, 30,000, is it enough? It's okay to discuss if it's not enough, but don't be too greedy."

Hou Xia was looking down at the information on her phone. When she heard what I said clearly, her hands were so scared that she trembled and her phone fell directly to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

Hou Xia picked up her phone in silence, saw the information on it clearly, and after a while, he spoke: "I originally wanted one or two thousand, but I didn't dare to think about three thousand. I didn't expect you to give me 30,000 directly."

"Damn, why didn't you say that? That handful-" I originally wanted to return the money to me, but Tan Jin coughed behind me and reached out to pound my back.

"Well, be careful, it's just 30,000, don't be too embarrassing."

Yu Wu also whispered: "Boss, pay attention to your image, don't forget that you are the leader."

I looked at Hou Xia, who was shaking his hands holding his cell phone, and he was so excited that he could not cry.

I thought this guy wanted to take the opportunity to make a deal, so he directly scored 30,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that this kid was unexpectedly Chunliang, and could be used to get three thousand yuan. Now, I'm wasting 27,000 yuan.

Although I spent millions of dollars on lightning wood when I bought it before, it was all left by Mr. Feng and borrowed it from Chen Shun. I never used it. I usually rely on the income from the store and live a life of no different from ordinary people. After half a year, I didn’t even want to buy a few new clothes, but that was 30,000. How much I had to sell to make it back.

However, the money has been transferred and I can't get it back. Although I really want to say that if you return the money to me, I won't be the leader. But I guess I will be beaten up by Yu Wu, so I have to give up after thinking about it.

If I was still in school half a year ago, I wouldn’t have felt so painful. How could that be said? If I don’t be a businessman, I don’t know how expensive it is. I have opened a store and done business in the past six months and have become more and more sensitive to money. Moreover, I am a child from a poor family, so I am still not used to it if I want me to become a big shot who spends a lot of money with a wave of my hand.

I looked at Hou Xia with distress and asked, "Are you still a student? Why do you want money so much? Your family's conditions are not as bad as you can, so why don't you ask your father for money?"

Hou Xia was silent for a while and said, "I am already in my third year of high school and I will take the college entrance examination this year."

"Oh." I nodded: "And what?"

"I want to go to college, but my dad wants me to stay at home and help Taofang after graduating from high school, and to inherit Taofang in the future." Hou Xia continued: "I have no interest in pottery at all, but my dad insists on forcing me to study. I am confident that I can get into Hunan University, but my dad just won't let me go. I quarreled with him a few times, and he said he would not pay me a penny for tuition, so I wanted to save enough tuition in the past six months and go to school by myself."

"What about you after you go to college? What should you do if you have a living expenses?" I asked.

"You will work by yourself after going to school." Hou Xia shrugged.

I looked at Hou Xia and saw that what he said was not like a lie, and I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that this kid looked like a bad student, but he was still a top student.

"Well, then you're not bad. Just keep the 30,000 yuan, I won't want to go back." I thought about it and just thought it was a sponsor of a college student, which was no harm: "But if you were just fooling us, we wouldn't be polite."

Hou Xia hurriedly said, "I swear I'm not fooling you. I have indeed seen that logo, which is in a book at a classmate's home."

"Oh, what book?"

"I don't know much, but occasionally I saw the pattern when my classmate was reading a book. Let's take you to see it."

I nodded and reached out to pat his shoulder: "Okay, let's go, you're lucky. If you meet us, you can use the money to go to college, don't use it indiscriminately."

Hou Xia didn't say anything, but just nodded excitedly.

His luck was indeed good, but he just saw the sign occasionally and got 30,000 from me for nothing.

He took us to the north of the village and said as he walked, "My classmate's surname is Fan and his name is Fan Rongrong. She is also a local, and she is in the same class as me."

I walked beside me and nodded while listening.

"Her studies are better than mine, and like me, they all want to go to college. Her family is a Tujia family, and the family makes brocade. She is very interested in folk history and other things in various places, so she collected a lot of books and materials. No one is more proficient in the history and customs of Longshan than her. She said that she would become a folk scholar after graduating from university and specialize in folk customs. But her parents were not happy, saying that she was not doing her job properly and did not allow her to take the college entrance examination for a professional college in folklore. Fortunately, with this 30,000 yuan, I can go to college with her."

Hou Xia talked endlessly about his female classmate, and I laughed in my heart. I guess this female classmate is not just a classmate. Alas, this is youth, it’s so good to be young. But if you think about it carefully, I am not a few years older than him. Why is it like I’m so old? And the saddest thing is that I haven’t had a relationship yet. It’s really sad that those who hear it are sad and cry when they see it.

Between words, we came to the front of a small courtyard.

Hou Xia stood outside the yard and screamed at the top of her voice: "Fan Rongrong, Fan Rongrong! Come out quickly."

After a while, the closed courtyard door opened, and a pretty girl with glasses and a ponytail, looking pretty poked her head out from behind: "Hou Xia? Why are you here?"

This girl spoke Mandarin and dressed similarly to Han people. She couldn't tell she was a Tujia girl. However, most of the ethnic minorities are now sinicized. During the past few days I lived in Shigao Village, most of the Miao and Tujia people I saw were similar to Han people, and I couldn't tell the difference if I didn't say anything.

Hou Xia stretched her head and looked into the yard a few times: "Where is your parents?"

Fan Rongrong said: "Today, I'm playing cards. What are you here for the first day of the New Year? Am I reading books at home? Who are these people?"

Hou Xiadao: "They are guests of my cousin Erlin's house. If you have something to ask, let's go in and talk first."

Fan Rongrong looked at us suspiciously. I saw a hint of alert in her eyes, but she seemed to trust Hou Xia very much. She paused and opened the door and let us in.

There were stone tables and benches in the yard. We didn’t enter the house, so we sat down in the yard.

I had been impatient for a long time. As soon as I sat down, I introduced myself first, and quickly explained my purpose and showed her the photo of the celestial girl.

Fan Rongrong sat opposite, lowered her head and listened to me. After a while, she raised her head: "I do know the mark you mentioned."

Then she said, "That sign is actually the character Lu, which is the symbol of a very famous craftsman in Longshan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. However, the craftsman with the surname Lu has not been passed down. Nearly four hundred years have passed. You go to the pottery workshop to inquire, of course you can't find out. And I also have an impression of this statue of the goddess."

I was overjoyed when I heard this. The little girl looked young and didn't expect to know a lot of things. Hou Xia was really not bragging. This little girl might be really a folk scholar.

It seems that not only the source of the mark, but also the origin of the statue of the Heavenly Girl, so I quickly asked about the statue of the Heavenly Girl.

But Fan Rongrong pushed her glasses calmly: "Those are information that are rarely recorded and difficult to find. Although I know, why should I tell you? I spent a lot of effort to collect these information. I just told you the source of the sign. It is for the sake of the people brought by Hou Xia. I can't tell you the rest. After all, there is no idiot lunch in the world, right?"

Tan Jin behind him laughed again, looking gloating.

When I heard this, my eyes cramped. These two little guys are really a pair, neither of them is a good-efficient light, but this little girl is a little more direct.

Fan Rongrong looked at my expression and added: "Maybe you don't believe that I really have these information, for fear that I would like to cheat you. But what I said is true, and I can also reveal some things to you, such as the statue of the Heavenly Girl, which seemed to be specially created by an outsider at that time. It seemed to have some special purpose."

"External guest?" I was stunned for a moment: "So what?"

Fan Rongrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, this is my own speculation. I think it may have something to do with you, because that foreign guest, like you, has the surname Ma."
