Chapter 153 Old Tang
Old Tang?

Long Kui looked at this familiar name and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Could it be that...has the matter with him made any progress?"

After a little guessing, he pressed the green button.

After a "beep" sound, Old Tang's high-pitched voice with a hint of excitement could not help but appear in Long Kui's ears.

"Hello? Magician, the 'land' you asked me to help you find is now clear."

"Oh?" Although he had already made some guesses in his mind before, Long Kui's heart still felt a little warm after hearing it from the other party's mouth.

He glanced at Eri Yi in front of him and asked in a low tone:
"Have you found the boundary where a large number of bronzes were unearthed?"

"Yes." Old Tang on the other end of the phone nodded, and replied excitedly in a tone that made him beam with joy upon hearing it:
"In the Peruvian Amazon rainforest in South America, something unexpected happened before, causing a 'gold rush'."

"Gold rush?" Long Kui was startled after hearing this. Wasn't he asking about bronzes? Why did it suddenly jump to gold?
Seemingly guessing his expression at this moment, Old Tang chuckled and explained in a mysterious manner:

"Do you know the detailed address of that village? I want to go and have a look."

As soon as he said this, a bitter laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"So evil?" Long Kui couldn't help but blinked after hearing this.

When Old Tang on the other end of the phone heard these words, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in frustration:
"Sigh...if I knew the address, do you think I would call you so soon? I would definitely have to earn 1.8 million for such a good thing before I inform you."

"Then do you have any plans now? If not, just give me the coordinates, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Long Kui glanced ahead and looked curiously at Eri, who was piled up on the snowman at the corner of the street. Yi, said softly.

"The problem now is...even if you find the village, it will be useless."

Long Kui couldn't help but be startled when he heard these words, and then subconsciously asked:
"why?"

"That's enough." After hearing this, Long Kui showed a somewhat surprised expression on his face, a glimmer of joy flashed in his brown eyes, and he said quickly:
"You send me the coordinates, and a range is enough for me."

Old Tang couldn't help but smacked his lips. Now he felt a little regretful as to why he didn't know about this good thing earlier. If he had known about it earlier, he wouldn't have been digging his feet at home until he could barely pay the rent.

"Anyway, I'm going to fly to South America right away. I'll see what's going on here first. You can come and accept it."

"Is there such a magical thing?" After hearing this, Long Kui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he couldn't help but ask:

"It even lowered the price of bronzes at recent auction houses."

"Cough cough cough..." After a while, Old Tang seemed to take a sip of water and then slowly recovered:

"The so-called gold rush is to go to a primitive village somewhere in the rainforest and use cheap industrial products to exchange antiques with fine workmanship and complete quality with the villagers there."

"Because the people in that village are isolated from the outside world and have no idea what the value of the things in their hands will be sold to the outside world, they only need a few clothes and farm tools to exchange for a bunch of exquisitely crafted antiques. Among them, the bronzes you asked me to inquire about... hundreds of them have been circulated from that village!"

"How can that be done? How can my brother's affairs be handled so perfunctorily!" Old Tang patted his chest angrily, and then the other party's violent coughing due to excessive exertion came over the phone.

"Because all the villagers in that village disappeared one day for unknown reasons, and even the queue of traveling merchants who went in to trade that day also disappeared without a trace." Old Tang said in a helpless tone.

"If it wasn't so evil, I would probably be in South America now." Old Tang said on the other end of the phone.

"There is only one large-scale address, right in the core of the Amazon rainforest." Old Tang answered truthfully.

Old Tang responded helplessly:

"Yes, you are indeed a person who makes money first and then does things." After hearing this, Long Kui didn't show much surprise. He nodded and asked:
"So, you don't have the address of this place?"

After hearing these words, the corners of Long Kui's mouth slowly raised, and an inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes:

"You guys...don't want to take advantage of me again, do you?"

"Hey..." Old Tang's embarrassed laughter suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

Listening to the laughter, Long Kui wanted to imagine what the other party was like at this time.

He must be sitting on the sofa, touching the back of his head with one hand, grinning and letting out an embarrassed and mean laugh.

Two years ago, when he was still a bounty hunter, in his last mission, he formed a team of four with Old Tang and two other members, "Frog" and "Prince" from another famous killer organization "Valia", and attacked together. A base camp for world-class terrorists.

Under the cover of "Frog"'s unique illusion, Long Kui and "Prince" used their terrifying combat power to kill indiscriminately on the front lines. In less than ten minutes, the two most famous killers in the bounty circle directly wiped out the entire terrorist organization. His old nest was turned upside down.

Then Old Tang, in addition to using his keen sense of smell and excellent intelligence capabilities to find the opponent's lair, he directly pulled a sack out of his pocket from the moment he entered the headquarters of the entire terrorist organization.

While Long Kui and "Prince" were making a huge fuss on the front line, Old Tang directly started the sack-stuffing part that the dog loves most.

For that one mission, this guy didn't know how much gold and US dollars he pocketed from the terrorist organization.

Therefore, Long Kui was very puzzled by the current situation of Lao Tang who had been in poverty for the past two years.

The other party neither smokes nor drinks, and does not engage in pornography, gambling or drugs. How can he manage to be so busy that he can't even pay the rent while sitting on a few sacks of gold and US dollars?

It was obvious that the other party was now thinking of following him to gain advantage.

However, Long Kui didn't care if the other party fished in troubled waters behind him. After all, the materials for the Gattuso family would be in place soon.

As soon as those magic materials worth billions of dollars are in place, the Heavenly Dragon and Thunder Dragon magic in his body will immediately be upgraded to the giant dragon level, and the water flow magic will also be upgraded to the water modeling magic. The iron dragon, which was originally second only to the fire dragon, will , and will immediately transform into the Dragon King level.

By that time, Long Kui's combat effectiveness will usher in a terrifying improvement.

Long Kui, who possesses the dragon king level iron dragon and fire dragon slaying magic, if he encounters the white dragon second generation with a title again, he is confident that he will fall to the opposite side with one move.

It is guaranteed that the white dragon will not even let out a mournful cry.

With absolute confidence in his own strength, Long Kui had the confidence to take a "troublemaker" like Old Tang with him to explore the "Dragon Pool and Tiger Den" in the Amazon rainforest.

"Okay, you investigate first, and then call me when you find out the source." After Long Kui acquiesced to the other party's behavior, he nodded and said calmly. "Okay, then I will go to South America first and let you know if I have any clues."

After saying that, Old Tang hung up the phone.

After Long Kui listened to the short mechanical sound of "beep beep" in his ears, he lowered his head and shook his head. After a chuckle, he walked straight to Eri Yi who was snowballing with Mamon on the ground in front of him...

……

……

Los Angeles, USA.

Old Tang put the phone he had just hung up on the table, and gently ran his fingers across the white plastic bag containing oranges. He hummed a tune softly, and fell behind him in a happy mood. His whole body was half-sinked in an instant. into the soft sofa.

"It's great!" He couldn't help but raise his hands and vented loudly.

"Now I can finally stand up!"

Old Tang's face couldn't help but light up with joy, and then in order to celebrate that he was about to make a big fortune, he resolutely... made the last bucket of instant noodles.

I saw Old Tang sitting at the dining table upright. After waiting quietly for three minutes, he closed his eyes with a serious face. After briefly praying before the meal, he couldn't wait to open the convenient lid.

Just when he had just stuffed a big spoonful of instant noodles and before he had time to bite it off and swallow it, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door of his house.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

Old Tang looked at the door with some confusion, then raised his head slightly, swallowed the delicious instant noodles hard, and walked straight to the door with flip-flops under his feet.

"Who is it?" He said impatiently while slowly pressing the door bolt.

Old Tang glanced at the door casually, and then his eyes widened. He was so frightened that he quickly closed the door that had not been fully opened!
"boom--"

The huge force even caused the walls of the apartment on this floor to shake twice.

"Dong dong dong!" At this time, there was another rapid knock on the door. This time, along with it came the landlady's angry begging voice:
"Mr.: Tang, you haven't paid your rent for three months. You have to pay me the rent no matter what today! Otherwise, you'll be a bastard!"

His fluent American-accented English hit the door frame like a machine gun. Old Tang leaned his back against the door frame and responded anxiously with sweat on his forehead:

"Mrs. Landlady, give me another month. I will definitely pay off the rent after one month!"

"You said the same thing last month!" The fierce knocking on the door continued, and the other party seemed to be trying to break in this time.

Old Tang simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, leaning against the door.

After a while, the landlord probably got tired of knocking on the door, and after leaving a harsh sentence, "If you don't pay the rent, you'll give me the bastard tomorrow," the banging sound gradually died down.

Old Tang waited until the movement outside completely calmed down, then opened the door a crack, and peeked out through the crack.

After confirming that the landlord was completely gone, he couldn't help but close the door with a "click" and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Finally got over it."

Then Old Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead and just walked to the dining table to sit down and eat instant noodles. Suddenly, the screen of his mobile phone on the table lit up inexplicably.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar ringtone rang melodiously in the room.

Old Tang looked at the caller ID on it, and after trying to calm his violently beating heart, he slowly picked up the phone from the table, and then pressed the call button.

"Hello?" His tone couldn't help but become gentle, and a smile suddenly appeared on his tired face.

"Xiao Tang, how is your life lately? Have you received the fruit that the courtyard sent you? How is it? Does it still taste the same as before?" A kind female voice with a caring tone came from the other end of the phone.

After hearing these words, Old Tang couldn't help but place his eyes on the bag of oranges in a white plastic bag on the coffee table, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Aunt Fang, I have received the fruit. It tastes exactly like when I was a child. I like it very much."

"Then I'm relieved." The old woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved and said in a kind tone:

"You have donated so much money to us, and we have nothing to repay you. Your Uncle Li and I were thinking that you have loved eating the fruits of the orange tree in the yard since you were a child, so we might as well find an international consignment to send them to you. When I hear you say you like it, your Uncle Li and I will feel relieved."

After Old Tang heard Aunt Fang's familiar voice, he couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing upward from his heart and slowly reaching his eyes.

Then he took a gentle breath and calmed down the unusually moved mood in his heart, then he pretended to be calm and said with a smile:
"Aunt Fang, you don't need to send me anything in the future. The postage is very expensive if you send it from China to the United States."

"How can that be done!" Aunt Fang on the other end of the phone responded in a serious tone:

"You have donated so much money to our welfare home. Why bother transporting some oranges? Xiao Tang, tell me, if there is anything else you want to eat, tell Aunt Fang, I will buy it today and send it to you in the afternoon."

"I remember that when you were a child, you liked to eat the candied haws from the lame family in the alley in the east of the city? By the way, you also liked to eat the chicken cakes from the time-honored restaurant across from the yard..."

Aunt Fang was on the other end of the phone as if she was having a daily routine, chattering endlessly about the things he loved to eat since he was a child. Old Tang quietly listened to the reassuring voice on the phone. While his body continued to relax, his eyes also felt Getting redder and redder.

"No need, Aunt Fang. I'll come back to see you in the spring next year after I finish all the things I'm doing. Then I'll buy those things myself." Old Tang picked out the swollen instant noodles that had already soaked in the bowl. He blinked uncomfortably, rubbed his red eyes, and responded with a smile.

"Xiao Tang... you, are you coming back next year?" Aunt Fang's tone on the other end of the phone was full of surprise:

"This is great! Back then, you were the only college student in our orphanage who was admitted to the United States. Now you are coming back...I'm going to tell you, Uncle Li, the most promising person in the entire orphanage is coming back..."

After saying that, Old Tang finally heard only the sound of hurried footsteps, and then the busy sound of the phone being hung up rang in his ears.

Old Tang still held the phone against his ear with one hand, and mechanically stirred the swollen instant noodles in the bucket with the other hand, looking down blankly with his eyes.

Finally, he suddenly picked up a large pile of noodles with a steel fork and stuffed it into his mouth in large gulps. As he stuffed it, a glimmer of light could not help but gleam from the corners of his eyes.
