Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 512 Fish Looking for Fish and Shrimp Looking for Shrimp

It is said that enemies become jealous of each other when they meet, but we have to admit that there are not many people like Niu Daming who can greet their enemies with a smile.

Although Wang An wanted to kill Niu Daming and the other man right now, he still restrained himself for his own sake.

So when Wang An heard this, he replied with a smile:

"Yeah, I forgot to buy two things, so I have to run another trip to buy them."

Niu Daming was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang An to answer so carefully.

Because in Niu Daming's expectation, Wang An would just give a perfunctory answer.

However, what Niu Daming never expected was that the "two things" that Wang An mentioned were not real "things," but the lives of Niu Daming and his partner.

Without waiting for Niu Daming to say anything, Wang An continued to ride his horse forward.

After Wang An walked away, the bad boy said to Niu Daming nervously:
"Brother Niu, do you think he knows about our affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Daming showed no fear or panic, but squinted his eyes and said solemnly:

"They probably don't know. Didn't they cover their faces when you gave them cigarette papers?"

The bad boy heard this and continued nervously:

"What's the point of covering my face? I already know that Liu Zhu."

Niu Daming was stunned when he heard this, and angrily said:

"Didn't you say it was foolproof? Is it really that foolproof?"

Although the bad boy looked terrified, he still explained:

"I mean, with so many people and so many guns, they can definitely deal with the crazy guy. I don't have any either."

Before the boy could finish his words, Niu Daming interrupted angrily:

"You must be a gay bully! Have you done it? I just want to ask you, have you done it?"

After Niu Daming finished speaking, he glared at the boy fiercely again. The boy looked at Niu Daming but was speechless.

After a while, the boy stammered:

"How about we hire someone?"

When Niu Daming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"Yes, the guy who came to you last time was the one who specialized in introducing dirty work. Let's go find him now."

After Niu Daming finished speaking, the bad boy's face was also full of excitement.

But soon, Niu Daming said to the bad boy with a smile:

"Dongzi, how much do you think it will cost?"

The one called Dongzi thought about it carefully and said:

"It should be at least 500 yuan. If it's a crazy person, maybe, maybe."

Having said that, the man named Dongzi began to hesitate again and looked at Niu Daming.

When Niu Daming heard the word "500 yuan", his brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

The main thing is that 500 yuan at that time was really not a small amount. If calculated based on per capita income, it would take a person 8 years and 4 months to save enough.

But when he found that Dongzi couldn't continue, Niu Daming realized that 500 yuan was not enough. So Niu Daming's smiling face immediately drooped, and then he looked at Dongzi with hope and said:

"Dongzi, how much money do you have in your pocket now?"

After Niu Daming asked, Dongzi began to rummage through his bag. After he had searched through all the bags, Dongzi began to check for money.

I have to say, this guy is doing pretty well. All the money he has on him totals more than 25 yuan.

Niu Daming saw the process of Dongzi taking out and checking the money, so when Dongzi finished checking the money, Niu Daming's face, which had been full of hope, drooped again.

At this time, Dongzi asked Niu Daming cautiously:
"Brother Niu, how much do you have?"

The reason why Dongzi was so cautious was actually because as soon as he saw Niu Daming's pale face, he already had a guess in his mind.

Nowadays, people who have 500 yuan in their pockets are not rare, but they are definitely one in a million.

Although Niu Daming was not in a very optimistic mood, he still searched all his pockets.

But after counting, I found that the total was more than 24 yuan, just a few cents short of 25. However, if the money of both of us was combined, it was just over 50, and there was even a few cents more.

The two men each held some money and stared blankly ahead, unable to think of how to use the money.

I have to say that all the old sayings in China are very reasonable.

And one of the sayings is particularly reasonable, which is "Fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles seek turtles."

Of course, there are many other idioms with similar meanings.

Words like "birds of a feather", "in cahoots", "in cahoots with each other", "birds of a feather flock together", "in the same boat", etc., can perfectly describe these two people.

Niu Daming and the man called Dongzi were stunned for a while, then they subconsciously looked at each other, and then almost at the same time, they looked away at the two horses pulling the cart.

Then, the two men simultaneously shifted their gaze away from the two horses and looked at each other again.

Finally, the two of them spoke almost at the same time:
"I borrowed money to buy this horse!"

To be honest, it is extremely difficult to achieve this kind of perfect synchronization.

The most amazing thing is that although these two people said the same thing, no one felt embarrassed or inappropriate.

After the two finished talking, the man named Dongzi thought for a moment, then patted the carriage board and said again:
"The wheels of this carriage are new, and the carriage is also newly made. It should be worth at least five hundred yuan, and it can be sold for about six hundred yuan. Six hundred yuan or more is about right, about right, enough, enough."

When he said the last few words, Dongzi lowered his voice and began to stutter, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Niu Daming.

The meaning of what this man named Dongzi said is very clear. The horses were bought with borrowed money, so don't sell them all. Selling the car will be enough.

When Niu Daming heard this, his eyes were about to spit fire, because this carriage and its wheels all belonged to Niu Daming!

Fortunately, Niu Daming was still able to keep his composure at this time and did not quarrel with the man named Dongzi.

After a moment, Niu Daming suppressed his anger, stared at Dongzi with a look that seemed like he wanted to kill him and said:

"Alright, no matter how much the car sells for, I'll give you half of it. Then you can take the horse home first. When you pay me back, you can take it back."

When the man named Dongzi heard this, he was instantly stunned. He had been planning for a long time, but it was easily resolved by Niu Daming.

After being confused for a while, the man named Dongzi could only nod helplessly.

We have to admit that everyone cares a lot about their own property, and when it comes to saving money, everyone's brain reacts very quickly.

Anyway, these two people are evenly matched in terms of calculations. No one suffers any loss, and no one takes advantage.
