Reverend Insanity

"Suspicious?" Shang Xinci's eyes flickered under his thick eyelashes.

Zhang Zhu nodded and said solemnly: "In fact, I started to doubt them from the day I entered the Bandit Monkey Mountain. Sister, you want to reward one hundred and fifty yuan stones. Such a huge sum of money, but they don't know anything about it. Not even moved. This is really thought-provoking.”

He paused and continued: "Over the past few days, I have been secretly observing them. I have found more doubts. First of all, they rarely communicate with the domestic slaves around them, and they wish they could become transparent people. Secondly, they I have rejected offers from many families, no matter how favorable the conditions are."

"Miss, do you still remember the way he came to seek refuge with us that night? How could Kurotsuchi be injured like that when he has such great power? Finally, according to my observation, even though his companion was dressed as a man, But she’s actually a woman!”

There was silence in the camp.

After a long while, Shang Xinci smiled and said: "Just because you are strong, doesn't mean you can definitely defeat others, right? It's hard for two fists to beat four hands, and it's normal for Heitu to be injured. In fact, I know all the doubts you mentioned. ."

Zhang Zhu showed no surprise at all. He knew Shang Xinci and her intelligence.

"Little sister..."

Shang Xinci blinked, with a hint of playfulness on her soft face: "Uncle Zhang Zhu, have you been holding it in for many days? You found that I haven't dealt with this matter, so you came to remind me today."

Zhang Zhu laughed: "Sister, I can't hide anything from you. But why do you keep letting them around?"

"Because I don't think they have any malicious intentions." A light of wisdom flashed in Shang Xinci's eyes, "They were suspected by us in Bandit Monkey Mountain. If they didn't come forward at that time, we wouldn't have seen the suspicion. But why are they still there? Come forward and help me?"

"this……"

"If they had ulterior motives, they would have hidden aside and watched the show, or they would have accepted the one hundred and fifty yuan stones. But they didn't. When Kurotsuchi said he wanted to repay his kindness, his expression was so sincere, I think what he said was true. He really wants to repay this favor," Shang Xinci said.

Zhang Zhu was speechless for a while: "But they must not be simple, they must have secrets."

Shang Xinci smiled like a flower: "Everyone has secrets, and I also have secrets. Does anyone with secrets have to be a bad person? The world is bright, and those who can repay kindness are limited, no matter how bad they are, right?"

"Having said that, I always feel that they have some purpose. Maybe they are planning some conspiracy... Wait, I know, they must be agents of the gangsters. They sneak into the caravan and cooperate with the demons to rob!"

"This doesn't make sense." Shang Xinci shook his head. "Since they are internal agents, they should be hidden. Why show off in Bandit Monkey Mountain? There are so many people recruiting them. They can join other teams, and it will be easier to hide. Why? Why do they stay here with us? I think they must have some reasons. We helped them, and they repaid us. Now they want to hide their identity, I think we should help them again..."

Zhang Zhu shook his head and sighed: "My dear sister, why are you always so considerate of others? You must know that it is necessary to be on guard against others..."

"Uncle Zhang Zhu." Shang Xinci muttered, "If you are really robbed, please don't fight to protect the goods. If these goods are lost, they will be lost. It is no big deal. My mother's last wish is She asked me to take the token and go to Merchant City to find someone. But she also said that if that person is not willing to accept us,

We live on these possessions. "

"My mother left in a hurry, and she didn't tell me clearly who the person she wanted me to find was. But I think money and money are all external things. My mother has left me, and Uncle Zhang Zhu, you and Xiaodie are the only ones left. We are family members. I don’t want to see anything happen to you again.”

"Sister Wu, please don't say that..." Zhang Zhu's eyes turned red and he started to choke.

"Come and take a look, authentic Shen Jia silk!"

"Everyone is welcome to taste various fine wines."

"A golden light Gu only sells for fifty yuan stones!"

…

There were shouts of hawkers and crowds of people. This makeshift market was noisy and lively.

Whenever a caravan comes, the village is like a festival.

Not only caravans are selling, but also people from Jinjiazhai come to sell items.

The most common ones are a large number of gold sculptures or utensils.

The pots and pans, as well as the statues of people and animals, are deeply carved and lifelike. Paired with red, green, yellow and blue gemstones or pearls, it looks even more gorgeous and delicate.

Because of the unique geographical location on Golden Mountain, gold is almost everywhere.

The people living here, even the barely clothed domestic slaves, also wear some gold rings, gold necklaces, etc.

Many girls wear hairpins, earrings, and bracelets that are all glittering and gorgeous. They are in groups of three or five, singing and singing in a unique style.

As for the Jin family's Gu masters, their clothes are roughly the same as Qingmaoshan's. He wears a short shirt on the upper body, no trousers on the lower body, a belt, leggings, and green bamboo shoes on his feet.

It's just that some people's leggings are tied with hemp rope mixed with gold thread. And some belts, cuffs or trouser legs are all trimmed with gold. It’s a specialty of Golden Mountain.

The Gu masters in the Southern Xinjiang family all wear similar clothes. As for the demonic Gu masters, they wear all kinds of fancy clothes.

Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing shuttled among the crowds and had already found three or four people from Jinjiazhai and purchased some milk and goat milk.

In order to feed the bone spear Gu in the hole, Fang Yuan has tried his best. But even so, two-thirds of the bone gun Gu had already starved to death.

"Aren't you afraid of being found out and having your identity exposed when you make such a large purchase?" Bai Ningbing expressed doubts.

"As long as it's a disguise, it will be exposed one day. I don't care, but you have too many flaws." Fang Yuan glanced at Bai Ningbing and said.

Bai Ningbing suddenly let out a cold snort.

She knew where her flaw was, and that was her gender.

Back in the village, even the old woman could see it. There are differences in the physiological characteristics of women and men. To disguise this, you need a specific Gu insect, but unfortunately Bai Ningbing doesn't have it.

Therefore, even if she wears loose clothes, a straw hat, black and gray paint, and a bandage, her identity cannot be avoided over time.

Fang Yuan continued: "So, instead of hiding it, it is better to take the initiative to expose it, so that they feel that they have seen through a lot of things and that the situation is under their control, and they will feel more at ease."

Exposure is necessary and not a bad thing. To get close to them, you have to reveal your identity. Only in this way can you gain trust.

It was impossible for Fang Yuan to take the initiative to show off his cards. Doing so was very inconsistent with their previous performance and was too unnatural.

Only if they take the initiative to discover and then test, Fang Yuan can use this step to expose something.

Bai Ningbing suddenly realized: "So, you are waiting for them to find out and then respond?"

"You're finally smart for once."

"snort!"

However, three days passed, and the reaction and test that Fang Yuan expected did not come.

Bai Ningbing finally found the opportunity to ridicule Fang Yuan: "It turns out that you sometimes make miscalculations."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly and thought in his mind: "It can be seen from Zhang Zhu's expression and behavior that he has been suspicious for a long time. He didn't test it before, probably because he would encounter danger at any time on the road, so he couldn't bear it. But now the caravan relies on Jinjiazhai is very stable, and the temptation should have come a long time ago. Unless..."

Shang Xinci's face appeared in Fang Yuan's heart.

"She is really smart and courageous. She must have been the one who stopped Zhang Zhu. It's a bit troublesome. It's not good to be too smart."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Shang Xinci's gentleness and kindness were deeply rooted in people's hearts, which made him underestimate the girl's intelligence.

Shang Xinci wanted to reach a tacit understanding between smart people and Fang Yuan, and both parties tacitly understood each other and pretended to be confused. But Fang Yuan's purpose was different, so this tacit understanding became an obstacle for him.

"In this case, I have to take the initiative." After thinking about this, Fang Yuan sighed and took the initiative to find Shang Xinci.

"You want to partner with me?" In the tent, looking at Fang Yuan who explained his intention, Shang Xinci and Zhang Zhu had surprised expressions on their faces.

I didn't look for them, but they came to me.

This was a bit beyond the girl's expectations.

Zhang Zhu's heart moved: "Is the fox's tail finally showing? Partnership... Humph!"

"Sister Zhang Xiaojie, I'm ashamed to say that we need Yuan Stone, and I think I have some experience with merchants. I would like to borrow a batch of goods. How about a 50-50 split with you for the Yuan Stone I earn?" Fang Yuan bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant. .

"You don't have a primeval stone, and you're so poor that you just want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs? Are you too confident?" Zhang Zhu's eyes flashed coldly, "Why do you think that you will definitely make money? And why do you think that our Zhang family Will I lend it to you?"

"In business, of course there are profits and losses. Of course I can't make a profit without losing money. As for why, maybe I think Miss Zhang, you are a good person and you should lend it to me. If you want to ask me the reason, I can only answer you, That's how I feel. If my feeling is wrong, just pretend that this incident never happened." Fang Yuan smiled.

He was missing an ear, had burn marks all over his body, and had a scary smile.

But Shang Xinci looked into his eyes and found a radiance of confidence, determination, and strategizing. This kind of brilliance brings out a different kind of charm from the ugliness.

"It's really interesting. It seems that he has also noticed our suspicion. So, do you want to reach a tacit understanding between smart people and me?" Shang Xinci's eyes flickered.

After a moment, she laughed.

This unique way of "frank" communication made her feel inexplicably safe and fresh.

"Without you Kurotsuchi, less than a quarter of my goods would be left. They were robbed by those monkeys back in Bandit Monkey Mountain. Since you have this idea, I will leave all these goods under your control." she said.

If the maid Xiaodie was here, I'm afraid she would start screaming immediately.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Miss? What are you..." When Fang Yuan left the tent, Zhang Zhu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Shang Xinci blinked mischievously, like a child: "Isn't this very interesting? Listen to what he just said. He has not even done business yet, but he wants to split 50-50 with me. This tone makes it sound like he will definitely make money. Like money..."

"Hmph, how many talents does he have for such a reckless man?" Zhang Zhu sneered disdainfully, "When it comes to business acumen, who can compare to you, little sister? How have you managed the household for so many years, little sister? The business has grown and prospered. I can remember it vividly. If it weren’t for the jealousy of those villains in the Zhang family..."

"Okay, what's the point of talking about the past. Since Uncle Zhang Zhu recognizes my talent, you should believe me. Even if he destroys all these goods, I can start from scratch, right?" Shang Xinci road.

"Of course!" Zhang Zhu said decisively.
