Living alone in the wilderness: you call this survival?

Chapter 205 Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies
"Good talisman! I want it!"

Xu Mo wiped his hand and stretched it out cautiously.

"Wait, you haven't said the price yet!"

Chen Jian retracted his hands and looked at him seriously.

This question really stumped Xu Mo. This talisman is definitely a good thing, and ordinary people can't draw it, but he doesn't know the function of the talisman, so he can't evaluate it.

If he could defend himself in the North Pole, his value to him would be immeasurable. As long as he could afford it, he would spend as much as he could.

After thinking for a long time, he cautiously stretched out an index finger and asked tentatively, "Ten thousand?"

"What are you kidding?"

Chen Jian stared, and angrily took the talisman paper back.

Xu Mo quickly said: "You can add more if you think it's too little, the price is negotiated."

Chen Jian sneered and said, "What are you talking about? Do you know how much the bottom talisman is? How much is the cinnabar? It's [-] if you open your mouth, heh!"

Xu Mo glanced at the materials on the stone wall, and guessed that these things looked ordinary, but they should not be ordinary things. Otherwise, how could he draw such a spiritual Taoist talisman.

So it seems that [-] is indeed a little little, and he is going to raise the price to [-] and try again.

But before he could speak, Chen Jian picked up the stack of blank talisman papers, shook them, and said confidently: "The wholesale price of this stack of talisman papers is only five yuan, and this box of cinnabar is more expensive. Eighteenth, let’s forget about the writing brush, which was passed down from my master’s generation, so it’s not counted as the cost. In short, the cost of a talisman plus labor does not exceed ten yuan, and the cost of opening your mouth is ten thousand. Who do you look down on?”

"Wait. Then how much do you want to sell?"

Xu Mo was a little dizzy, and always felt that something was illogical.

Chen Jian thought for a while, and made a reasonable suggestion: "15 yuan a piece, if you think it is expensive, I can give you another discount, how about 13 yuan?"

"."

Xu Mo was dumbfounded, completely unable to be dealt with by this wave of counter-offering.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Jian said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter? Still think it's expensive?"

Xu Mo came back to his senses, and quickly said: "No, no, I only think it's cheap, why don't we discuss it again? How about five thousand pieces?"

"If this talisman exceeds 15 yuan, I won't sell it."

Chen Jian didn't intend to bargain at all, and his attitude was very firm.

"Then it's 15 yuan a piece, I'll buy more."

Seeing his appearance, Xu Mo knew that it didn't make sense, so he simply tried to save the country.

"How much do you want?"

"I'll write as much as you can."

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, Chen Jian leaned on the stone wall and concentrated on drawing.

This painting couldn't stop, completely ignoring Xu Mo as air.

Xu Mo looked at it bored for a while, then opened a bottle of wine by himself and drank it first. While drinking, he fell asleep in a daze.

I have been running around intensively these days, and I have been exhausted physically and mentally for a long time. It is also a rare beauty to be able to sleep peacefully at this time.

In the early morning, there were bursts of high-pitched crowing in the mountains.

Xu Mo stretched and sat up from the ground. He turned his head and found that Chen Jian was still writing.

Beside him, there are neatly stacked talisman papers.

Judging by the quantity, there are quite a few. It is obvious that they stayed up all night.

Chen Jian also looked over at this time, and seeing that he was awake, he walked over with the painted talisman paper in his hand, and said, "There are 170 sheets in total, and a total of 2640 yuan. I will give you a small change, 2600."

"it is good!"

Without further ado, Xu Mo ordered 26 hundred-yuan bills and handed them to him.

Chen Jian grinned after receiving the money, and said courteously, "Boss, the talisman paper and cinnabar are all used up. If there is not enough, I will go down and buy now."

Good guy, the name has changed overnight.

Xu Mo was speechless, but seeing his bloodshot eyes, he politely refused: "No need, I'm short on time, so I can only cooperate next time."

Chen Jian didn't hold back either, and said politely, "I'll see you off."

"Need not."

Xu Mo waved his hand, turned around and left.

"Wait." Chen Jian yelled, picked up the bottle of wine Xu Mo drank last night and followed, "You take this bottle away."

Xu Mo couldn't help laughing, "It's just a bottle of wine, just treat it as your overtime pay last night, keep it for yourself."

Chen Jian stuffed the wine into his arms, and said without hesitation: "I'll take everything I need, and I don't want a cent more."

Xu Mo complained, "Why are you so stupid?"

"Not the shaft, but the debt."

Chen Jian didn't want to say more, and got into the shack wearily.

Xu Mo shook his head, carried the wine to the edge of the cliff, then jumped down the mountain.

Now I have two magic tools on my body, the wooden fish and the Dao talisman. Although I don't know if they are useful, they are the confidence for my trip to the North Pole.

As the ancients said, courtesy comes first and soldiers follow.

The two magic weapons count as soldiers, and now we are going to prepare the ceremony.

After Xu Mo went down the mountain, he went to the largest funeral supplies store in H City.

As soon as he entered the door, the drowsy boss cheered up and came over to say hello: "What do you need?"

Xu Mo walked around the store and was very satisfied.

After all, it is the largest funeral supplies store, and it has a complete range of supplies for the underworld.

He pointed at the colorful commodities and said arrogantly: "All packaged!"

Since you want to give a gift, you have to give it heavily, otherwise it will appear insincere.

"Boss, are you kidding me? Did you use it?"

The boss is a round and fat man. Hearing this, the flesh on his face trembled.

"What? Can't these things be burned?"

Xu Mo didn't expect that his arrogance would be displayed here.

"That's not what I mean. It's enough for ordinary people to buy two. If you buy so many, who are you going to use?"

"Of course it's for the dead, so why not use it for me?"

"But dead people don't need so much, it's worth buying two things."

"I'm just wondering, as a businessman, are you still afraid that things will sell too fast?"

"It's not, it's just"

"Just what? Pretend!"

"Okay!"

Under Xu Mo's command, he packed all the obvious products in the funeral supplies store into three big bags.

Fortunately, these things are basically made of paper and can be compressed, otherwise they would not be able to fit in three sacks.

The gifts are ready and it's time to go.

After Xu Mo returned to the car, he called Ruan Zongyu and asked him to arrange a special plane to the North Pole.

After Ruan Zongyu answered, he hung up the phone.

Xu Mo rushed to City S with a load of gifts, and received a call from Ruan Zongyu halfway there.

"The special plane has been arranged. It departs at 9:[-] p.m. Where are you now?"

"On the expressway, it takes about three hours."

"Well, let's go home and have dinner first, and then I'll take you to the airport."

"Row."

Xu Mo hung up the phone and concentrated on driving.

Three hours later, they arrived in City H on time, and when they arrived at the villa of the Ruan brothers and sisters, it was time for dinner.

He picked up the unopened bottle of wine from yesterday, took out the key and opened the door of the villa.

The lights in the house were on, but it was quiet.

Xu Mo glanced around, only to find that Ruan Zongyu was sitting at the dining table.

"Are you back?" Ruan Zongyu raised his head to greet him, and then unexpectedly said: "I also brought wine, so I am interested."

"I didn't bring this wine on purpose, but it's left over from what I couldn't give away."

Xu Mo had nothing to hide, he put the wine on the table carelessly.

Ruan Zongyu smiled and said, "Did you see him?"

Xu Mo nodded and said, "Yes."

Ruan Zongyu adjusted his glasses and asked softly, "How is he?"

"It's not that good. How is that Taoist temple broken? Don't you plan to repair it?"

Xu Mo originally planned to pay a sum of money to repair the Taoist temple, so he asked for his opinion by the way.

Ruan Zongyu smiled bitterly: "I think so too, but didn't you send out your wine as well?"

"never mind."

Xu Mo was a little resentful, he couldn't even deliver the wine, let alone the huge repair funds.

Ruan Zongyu drank a cup alone, and said: "A person who cultivates the Tao has five disadvantages and three deficiencies, and he always lacks one thing, so he is not human, you have to understand."

"Then you have to tell me what he lacks?"

It's hard for Xu Mo to believe that in today's society, there are such paranoid people.

"stupid."

It was rare for Ruan Zongyu to make a joke, but it didn't look like a joke when he said it.

"I believe."

Xu Mo believed it anyway, and he didn't want any money delivered to his door. Wasn't it lack of heart?
"Their lineage has always been like this, but then again, only people like them can cultivate the true way."

Ruan Zongyu seemed to talk a lot today, and he drank wine one after another.

"Okay, let's eat."

Xu Mo didn't have the time to talk about metaphysics with him, and there were a lot of messy things waiting for him to clean up.

Ruan Zongyu touched his nose and said nothing.

The meal was very sloppy. After eating, Ruan Zongyu took over the driver's job and sent him to the airport.

When he arrived at the special passageway of the airport, Xu Mo moved the sack down.

Ruan Zongyu noticed that there were so many sacks on the car, and asked in surprise, "Have you gone to collect the mountain goods?"

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "I'm not Xie Guangkun, what kind of wild goods are I collecting? These are treasures, and I don't want to help."

"Oh? Baby?"

Ruan Zongyu became interested, so he untied one of the sacks without any hassle, just in time to see the individually wrapped talisman paper in the sack.

He picked up a thick stack of talisman papers, and asked dumbfounded: "My C, what the hell did you go to Chen Jian's to buy?"

Xu Mo asked strangely, "Why are you so excited?"

"It's nothing, this talisman is useless to you, I'll take half of it."

Ruan Zongyu was a little hesitant to speak, so he just took it directly.

"I C, are you robbing?"

Xu Mo was very dissatisfied, not to mention that the talisman was not a mortal thing, and it made him stay up all night.

"These talismans will offset the dowry gift for you to marry my sister in the future."

Ruan Zongyu didn't stop moving, and said without raising his head.

"make a deal!"

Xu Mo agreed without even thinking about it. No matter how you look at it, this deal will not be a disadvantage.

He didn't realize it until he got on the special plane. He and Ruan Qingsi hadn't started writing yet. What kind of gift is there?
This wave was definitely cheated.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when we arrived at Vancouver International Airport.

The person who was in charge of picking him up was a familiar face. It was Zeddin Rose who picked him up last time.

"Hey! Xu, we meet again."

Luo Bosi was very happy to see him, and graciously helped him carry the sack.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Mo also greeted warmly, and moved the sack to the car with him.

After getting in the car, Luo Bosi turned her head and asked excitedly: "Xu, I smell the smell of Huaxia, can you tell me what you brought?"

Xu Mo looked out the window and said perfunctorily, "Oh, it's just some souvenirs."

Unexpectedly, shredded radish became even more excited, and exclaimed: "Oh, Huaxia native products! Xu. The ones you brought here must be authentic. Can you give me a bag?"

Xu Mo was stunned, and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Luo Bosi said sincerely: "Xu, don't get me wrong, I can pay. I like and miss China very much, especially the mysterious local products. I want to go to China, but I have never had the opportunity."

"."

Xu Mo was stumped. If it was really a souvenir, he would give it away. The key thing is that the things he brought were for the dead, so it's not appropriate to give them to foreign friends, right?

It's just that Luo Bosi said it so sincerely, and she kept looking at him with hopeful eyes, and she couldn't bear to say that she refused.

Forget it, I'd better give it to him, since the foreigner doesn't know him anyway, so it's not a big problem to take it back as an ornament.

"Friends, they are all friends. It's just a bag of souvenirs. What money are you talking about? I'll give it to you."

Xu Mo generously agreed, since there are so many of them anyway, A Piao won't notice if a bag is missing.

"Xu, thank you, you are my good friend!"

Radish was very happy, and started humming a ditty while driving.

But Xu Mo's smile gradually cooled down, something was wrong, the condition of shredded radish was not right.

When Si Luobo picked him up last time, she would also talk to him, but she was definitely not as enthusiastic as today.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and you must not take it lightly when you are abroad, especially at this time.

Xu Mo hoped that he was thinking too much, but when he calmly took out his phone, his heart sank.

Cell phone signal is blocked!

He took back his phone, pretended nothing happened, and just closed his eyes and fell asleep casually.

Now that he has boarded the thief's car, there is no chance to act rashly.

The current strategy is to let nature take its course and play by ear.

The route of this trip is the same as last time, transfer to the speedboat at Siluo Lake to reach the final destination.

All the way was smooth, nothing happened.

They held their breath, and Xu Mo could hold his breath even more. Since the enemy didn't move, he naturally wouldn't move.

When he arrived at Siluo Lake, Xu Mo moved two sacks to the speedboat, and gave the remaining sack to shredded radish.

"Xu, thank you for your gift, and have a good trip."

Radish shreds did not follow the speedboat this time, but stood on the shore and waved vigorously.

It's just that waving hands somewhat meant farewell.

"Thank you!"

Xu Mo also waved goodbye, and then started the speedboat to go to the tenth area alone.

Not long after he left, a few men in black with sunglasses came to the shore and motioned for Si radish to open the trunk.

Radish wiped the cold sweat off his head, and quickly moved the souvenirs that Xu Mo had given him out of the car. When he opened the sack, several men in black surrounded him at the same time.
