Chapter 256
"Have you ever heard of ebony?"

"I've heard that it's very valuable. It's a fossil of an ancient wood, right? Folks call it gloomy wood."

Meng Xiaoben told the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun became enthusiastic: "I'll stay too, and I'll go back to Jiangcheng after finishing my work tonight."

Meng Xiaoben nodded: "Okay, let's finish things tonight and go back."

Lin Yun slapped Meng Xiaoben lightly: "Doesn't the dog's mouth guard the door again?"

In the morning, Lin Yun and Meng Xiaoben drove to a nearby town, rented a truck, paid a deposit, and agreed to pick up the truck at midnight.

The two then drove back to their mother's house.

All day long, the two of them went outside the village to take pictures and catch butterflies, having a great time, pretending nothing happened.

At night, Meng Xiaoben went to bed early, and Lin Yun and his sister-in-law also went to bed early.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Meng Xiaoben's cell phone rang regularly.

He dressed and got up, and quietly walked out the door.

When he came to his sister-in-law's door and knocked lightly, Lin Yun was already ready, and immediately opened the door and came out.

The two quietly drove the Audi and left the village without a sound.

After driving [-] kilometers, they came to the car rental company and stored the Audi at the car rental company. Then, the two drove the truck back to the village.

Although the night is quiet, many households in the village have agricultural machinery, and it is not uncommon to hear the sound of motors in the middle of the night.

The two came to Wu Maojie's house with their cards. Meng Xiaoben jumped out of the car and went to the side of the road to have a look.

Gone!

The piece of ebony was gone.

Meng Xiaoben looked around again along the road, but still nothing.

There is only a hole left on the ground by the roadside.And the ebony was gone.

What happened?

Such a big piece of wood, if you say no, it will be gone?
Meng Xiaoben couldn't park for too long, so he got in the car again, drove the car back to the car rental company, returned the truck, and drove the Audi back to the village.

Lin Yun's judgment on this matter is: the wood was moved home by the owner.

"He didn't move sooner or later, but he moved out on the night I found it?" Meng Xiaoben was puzzled.

The next morning, Meng Xiaoben knocked on the door of the village chief's house early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the door, Meng Xiaoben said, "Third Uncle, I came here this morning to ask Wu Maojie how much the piece of wood sells for. But, I found that the root of the tree is gone."

The village chief chuckled: "Let me tell you, Wu Maojie has committed another old problem."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you wash the tree root with clean water yesterday morning, and tell you, Wu Maojie saw it!"

"See?" Meng Xiaoben asked in surprise.

"At that time, he was standing in the yard. In the evening, I saw Wu Maojie rolling the tree root and rolling it back into the yard. I asked him what he was doing? He said: 'You know why? Meng Xiaoben is not Did you fancy it? I looked at it for a long time in the morning, and washed it with water. I don’t want to be stolen by him.'”

Meng Xiaoben regretted it, regretted that he was too careless and his actions were too obvious.Even if it was suspected that the root was ebony, it should not have been checked out!

The huge wealth that was at your fingertips is now in doubt!

Meng Xiaoben reflected deeply for a while.

From now on, I have to use my intelligence to fight this Wu Maojie.

Meng Xiaoben thought, when things got to this point, Wu Maojie already guessed that Meng Xiaoben wanted to buy tree roots. If Meng Xiaoben didn't show it, Wu Maojie would suspect that Meng Xiaoben would have other actions, and he would be more vigilant.

The shrewdness of farmers is unfathomable.Once Wu Maojie raised his vigilance, it would not be easy to play tricks on him.

Well, you have to play the trick first.

Meng Xiaoben smiled, took out 1000 yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the village chief: "Uncle San, I have never had a good relationship with Wu Maojie, and it is inconvenient to negotiate the price with him. You should go for me. You Tell Wu Maojie that Meng Xiaoben sent the photo to a friend of the root carving artist. After seeing it, the root carving artist came up with 100 yuan. Meng Xiaoben told his friend that a painter once offered 1000 yuan. So the root carving artist agreed to 1000 yuan. Yuan. But 1000 Yuan is the top, if you sell it, you can sell it, if you don’t sell it, forget it.”

The village head took the money and went out.

Ten minutes later, the village head came back and threw the money back to Meng Xiaoben: "He won't sell it for a thousand."

"How much is he asking for?"

"He wants twenty thousand."

For Meng Xiaoben, 2 yuan is like spending two yuan for ordinary people.

However, Meng Xiaoben understood: the key now is that Wu Maojie doesn't know the value of this piece of ebony.

If Meng Xiaoben bids [-] yuan, Wu Maojie will never sell to Meng Xiaoben.Wu Maojie would think vigilantly: Why did Meng Xiaoben pay such a high price?Is this a treasure?

Then, things got troublesome: Wu Maojie might find someone to identify it.

In that way, Wu Maojie will get rich.

No, we must fight wits and courage!

Wu Maojie couldn't be allowed to doubt the value of the roots.

Meng Xiaoben thought for a while, if he said he would not buy it now, it might arouse Wu Maojie's suspicion: Is Meng Xiaoben sending 1000 yuan just now, is he deliberately lowering the value of the tree root?
No, you have to perform enough codes. Any inaccurate details will lead to failure.

Meng Xiaoben decided to meet Wu Maojie in person.

"Third Uncle, I'll go and talk to Wu Maojie myself."

"Okay! You can talk to him yourself."

Meng Xiaoben walked out of the village chief's house and came to the gate of Wu Maojie's house. The gate was not closed. Meng Xiaoben saw through the crack of the door that the big tree root was placed in the yard.The tall builder was standing in front of the warehouse door, fiddling with a thick rope in his hand. The rope was tied to a wooden board, and the root of the tree was just placed on the wooden board.

It seemed that Wu Maojie wanted to put the tree roots in the warehouse.

This kid is really a ghost. He was worried about Meng Xiaoben, so he came to the house at night and stole the tree roots.

Meng Xiaoben pushed open the door and walked in.

When Wu Maojie saw Meng Xiaoben coming in, he greeted him warmly, like an old friend, completely forgetting how he beat Meng Xiaoben until his nose and mouth were bleeding.

Meng Xiaoben was very thin when he was young, and he was the target of Wu Maojie's bullying. In Wu Maojie's memory, he can't remember how many times he kicked Meng Xiaoben's swollen legs, and he couldn't remember how many times the three Meng Xiaoben slapped him. .In any case, in his memory, Meng Xiaoben was a bullied bun he beat whenever he wanted.

But now the angry steamed stuffed bun appeared, and he heard that he bought a famous car and a luxury house in the city, Wu Maojie suddenly became awed by Meng Xiaoben.

When he found out that Meng Xiaoben was interested in this tree root, he decided to hit Meng Xiaoben hard: You are a fucking rich man, if you don't take advantage of rich people, I'm a fool.

"Oh, oh, oh, Meng Xiaoben, Meng Xiaoben, I haven't seen you for more than a year. I heard that you have made a fortune in the city?" Wu Maojie put down the rope in his hand, and strided forward to greet him. He held Meng Xiaobei's hand tightly, shaking it again and again, like a brother reunited after a long absence.

Meng Xiaoben hated his face very much, every time he saw this face, some waves of pain would appear in Meng Xiaoben's memory.The scene of being bullied by Wu Maojie in his childhood is deeply engraved in his memory. As long as I recall it, I will be very painful.

And this kind of pain will not fade away with time, but will gradually become more vivid in the memory as time goes by, and it will never be erased.
