Sacrifice
Ma Shucai clutched his stomach and frowned at me."Da Bao, good lad! Truly amazing. Actually, you don't know that I like you very much. I don't like you people, but you're more like it. Young man, are you willing to follow me? Don't think of me as such a bad person. I admit that I'm greedy and shameless. But twenty years ago, I was just like you, an ambitious and caring young man.
I was shocked.”
"Yes, as long as you're willing, you'll be rich!”
My brain exploded. That means I can live. I let out a long sigh. Only then did I truly feel the intensity of my nostalgia for life, the excitement and joy of escaping death. However, in order to save his life, he would follow such a person to kill and rob? I hesitated.
"You don't want to, do you? Alright, forget it if you're unwilling. You can leave now!"
"What? You're saying you're letting us go?”Zhao Yijing asked.
I looked at Ma Shucai in surprise and then looked at the headman. I couldn't believe it. Was he playing with us?
"Yes, I'll let you go. I never wanted to harm you. I don't want them either, but I have no choice!”Ma Shucai said.
The headman said a few words to Ma Shu. Ma Shucai said,"It's getting late. The Valley Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin." You guys should leave quickly."
"Ma Shen, are you really going to let them go?" Zhu 'er shouted. This was unfair! If you want to let go, let go. If you want to die, let go together…F * ck you, this is not fair…"
"Stop shouting, Fatty Zhu. Don't worry and leave. Actually, I don't want that 500,000 yuan from you. I'll get Da Bao to give it to your wife and children.”
"Why should we die while they live? It's unfair, unfair! No, I can't accept this…"
"You want to drag someone down with you even if you die, don't you? You'd rather climb a mountain of knives than let others go to heaven. This is what you're like!”Ma Shucai roared," Think about it. If they're all dead, who's going to give money to your wife?”
" This is unfair…" Zhu 'er cried." Unfair…" After crying for a while, she stopped crying and said," The money can't be given to my wife. It has to be given to my son!" Da Bao, do you remember? You have to give the money to my son personally. He's still young. Take care of him for me and give it to him when he's 18. I'll ask you to take care of him normally…"
"Don't worry, I swear I'll give your son every cent of the money. I'll take care of him. What else do you have to entrust me with?" I feel sad too.
"No need to swear. I know what kind of person you are. My shares and company dividends will be inherited by my son. Please supervise it for me. Ma Shen, give me a pen and paper. I want to write my will."”
He wrote a will, which read as follows:
I can't keep my head. All my assets (including the dividends from the Five Undying Company and the 500,000 yuan that Li Wangbao managed) will be inherited by my son Zhu Xiaoxing and entrusted to Li Wangbao to supervise. Zhu Daxing stopped writing.
He handed the will to me and said,"Dabao, I've let you down in the past. Please forgive me!" I entrust my son to you. I'm worried about my relatives and friends. Please take care of him for the sake of us getting along and going through hardships together. Let him study hard and not be like me in the future.”
After Zhu 'er finished speaking, she no longer spoke, closing her eyes and waiting for death.
The development of the matter was unexpected. Zhao Yijing and I were both deeply surprised. Ma Shucai smiled and said,"Da Bao." I'm sorry for snatching your treasure. But I'll give you 1.5 million yuan. Give 500,000 yuan to Fatty Zhu's wife for me, and the rest will be yours and Zhao Yijing's. I can't let you guys lose everything…"
Unexpectedly! It made people look at him differently. Humans were really complicated creatures. Was this bastard a bandit or a Bodhisattva? How confusing.
"Ma Shen, it's really hard to judge you. "I didn't expect you to be like this. Thank..." Zhao Yijing said.
Ma Shucai laughed,"You think I'm so bad that I have sores on my head and pus on my feet?" I told you, I was a young man who made progress twenty years ago. Damn it, it's all because of this world. I don't look like a businessman now. I look like a bandit who does good deeds. I've become a nondescript loafer! Do you think I want to?"
Ma Shucai said to the orderly,"Bring the horse over."”Then, he picked up the sack beside him and smiled.""The money is already prepared for you. Take it and get on your horse. You probably don't want to see them beheaded, right? The ceremony is about to begin."
Zhao Yijing said to Ke Li Tuo,"Ke Li Tuo, you and I have been friends for a while. Please forgive me for not being able to forgive you." I will give your wife some money. You can leave in peace. We won't send you off.”
"Thank you, Brother Zhao," Cleto said with a sad smile."Don't talk about forgiveness." I'll have to return it to them sooner or later. I'm already content with keeping it for so many years. Instead, I've implicated you. You guys go on the fast road. We brothers have been friends for a while, so we'll part ways here. We'll be good brothers again in our next life!”
We took one last look at Zhu 'er and him before we mounted our horses and left the stockade.
On the way, Zhao Yijing said,"Da Bao, I want to go to Yishui Stronghold to give Ke Li Tuo's wife some money." How much do you think I should pay?"
I understood what he meant and said," Brother Zhao, this 1.5 million. Give 500,000 to Zhu 'er's son and wife. What do you think about the remaining one million?”
Zhao Yijing smiled and said," What I mean is that we should give Kelitu's wife 50,000 yuan. After deducting the capital, I'll take 200,000 yuan. After your company takes 300,000 yuan, we'll split the remaining 450,000 yuan equally. How about that?" If you agree, we'll deal with it this way. Of course, your company's 300,000 yuan will be handled by you. If you don't give them a single cent, I won't say a word to anyone.”
I thought about it and said,"My suggestion is to give Cleto's wife 100,000 yuan." As for the remaining 400,000, you can have 250,000 and I can have 150,000. You offered 200,000 yuan, but I didn't pay a single cent. I'm already very satisfied with 150,000 yuan. As for the company's money, I don't want a single cent. I should return it to the company. What do you think?"
Zhao Yijing insisted on splitting it equally with me. The two of them argued for a while, and seeing that I was determined, he agreed. The two of them even discussed how to report to our company and how to answer when others asked.
After entering Yishui Stronghold, there was no difference from the previous time. When they reached the wooden building, they did not see his wife. We went to the other Wa people's houses to ask, but there was a language barrier. They couldn't understand Chinese, and we couldn't understand the Wa language. In the end, we found the headman. He was lying alone on the bamboo building. We didn't know if he was sick or what. He didn't even recognize us. Zhao Yijing had no choice but to leave some money beside him and the two of them left the village. Zhao Yijing said that she would find a Wa person who could speak Han next time.
When he returned to the mine, it was already the afternoon of the second day. Luo Ruhui was the only one in the company. When he saw us, he smiled and said,"Ah, Da Bao, you're back on a big horse. How's business? Did you buy the gemstone? Where's Zhu 'er?"
She was hungry and anxious to see Xiao You. After chatting with him for a while, she went to the kitchen. He was a little excited when he saw Little You and Little Enz from afar.
Xiao You turned around and saw me. Her eyes shone with surprise and joy. She then smiled but looked at me without saying anything. "Aiyo, Big Brother Dabao, you're back already?" asked Little Enz with a smile.”
"I'm back. Little You, is there any more food?" I laughed." I'm already hungry."
Xiao You sized me up from head to toe and smiled.""I didn't expect to come back so soon. So business is going well, is it?”As she spoke, she scooped two large bowls of rice from the rice bowl, beat eggs, cut green onions, and stir-fried eggs with osmanthus rice for us to eat.
While eating, he told them about what had happened. They were shocked, afraid, and happy when they heard that. Soon, Chen Peng, Duan Ming, Qi Tonggao, and the others returned. Everyone, come to the office and listen to our report.
Other than the money that Ma Shucai gave us, which I said was one million, I reported the rest of the situation and what happened.
After I finished speaking, everyone was silent. "So Zhu 'er's head was really chopped off?" Chen Peng asked after a while.”
"Manager Chen, this is a matter of life and death.”Zhao Yijing said," Da Bao is telling the truth.”
"Heh, this business is really strange. Was that jade worth that much money? Tsk tsk tsk! What a pity, what a pity, that bastard was really not a good thing!”Luo Ruhui said.
"The python, crocodile, and jade were stolen, and I got another one million?”Xu Gang said sarcastically," This matter is very bizarre. With a treasure worth five million in their hands, anyone would be tempted by money. Don't you think so? Zhu 'er didn't know how her head fell off.”
Everyone kept quiet, their eyes darting back and forth between Zhao Yijing and me. I wanted to flare up, but when I thought of the 150,000 yuan, I held back and asked Xu Gang coldly,"What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I'm just saying that this matter is too bizarre. To be honest, I don't believe it!”
" You..." I let out a long sigh, remembering the words " eloquence is silver, silence is gold." She knew that she couldn't explain it to them. The more she tried to explain it to them, the worse it would be. It was better not to say it. Forget it if you don't believe me!
I showed Zhu 'er's will to everyone and gave the company's 300,000 yuan to Accountant Liu. "Fortunately, we didn't lose anything," said Chen Peng. What I mean is that this business can continue. What do you think?”
"It can be done, it can be done." Guan Yiwu said," This is really a profitable matter. Perhaps he would come across an even rarer jade next time. Besides, we've found another mine in Pit No. 4, so we don't care about this bit of money.”
Another mine in Pit No. 4? I quickly asked. Only then did he know that the grade and output of the mine he saw three days ago were even greater than that of Pit No. 2.
Most of them agreed to continue the jade business. Looking at how excited they were and how they were talking about this and that, I couldn't help but sneer. Thinking back to those days of experience, I still couldn't help but shudder. Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going. "Da Bao, Zhao shi, what do you think?" Duan Ming asked.”
"I don't want to go. Whoever wants to go can go.”I said.
Zhao Yijing smiled." I don't want to do it anymore either. Your company should find someone else."”
Everyone fell silent. The venue fell silent.
"Dabao, don't you want to go? This was a good business, a business that earned money.”Guan Yiwu said," This encounter was caused by Kelito. It won't happen again.”
I didn't say anything.
"If the company decides to let you go, you still have to go.”Chen Peng said," Brother comrade, if everyone doesn't obey the company's arrangements, how can this be? The interests of the company were more important than anything else, and everyone had to protect it consciously. You have to have the spirit of dedication, comrade.”
" You…" I stood up abruptly. What kind of nonsense is this? However, she still endured it. There was no point in arguing with him. "I definitely won't go for this kind of business. Moreover, I have to return to the country tomorrow to deal with the matter Zhu 'er entrusted me with.”
At night, Zhao Yijing and I squeezed into my bed, and the money pocket was placed against the bamboo wall. The two of them slept through the night and went to the mining department at dawn the next day.
