Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi couldn't help but trembled: "So evil?"

The old man nodded: "In recent days, the workers have been scared out of their wits. Some are running away, some are asking for leave, and the construction site is deserted. Da Su owes a large loan to the bank. If he doesn't pay back, he will definitely go bankrupt. But if we want to pay back the money, we have to start construction. The old tree is standing there, so how dare Da Su touch it? Now that it’s been delayed like this, Da Su can’t sleep every night, and his whole body is almost broken.”

I glanced at Dasu a few times and saw that his eyes were blurred and he looked stupid. If he continued like this, something would definitely go wrong. Since he is Lao Fei's friend, and I rushed to Harbin specifically for Lao Fei, I can't ignore this matter no matter what.

Li Mazi quietly poked my arm: "I heard this is a bit mysterious, why don't you find an excuse to get over it."

I rolled my eyes at him: "Don't you always say that you are righteous and help your brothers? The old man is also my brother, and now it's time for you to make your grand debut."

Li Mazi said angrily: "Don't worry about my ribs. I really can't insert them anymore. They are all covered with knives now. Do you know who inserted them?"

I deliberately made him angry: "It couldn't be me, could it?"

Li Mazi excitedly held my hand: "Congratulations, you even rushed to answer!"

After the old fat man finished telling the whole story, he looked at me uneasily: "Jiulin, how are you? Is there any way to help Dasu?" He looked particularly worried when he said this, and it was obvious that he was really worried. .

If I didn't know him well enough, I would almost start to doubt his relationship with Da Su. The fact that two big men can care about each other to such an extent cannot be explained by the word "rotten", it is almost close to "rotten".

I put down my chopsticks and said with a relaxed smile: "It's rare for you to talk back to me. Don't worry, even if there is no other way, I will definitely come up with a way for you!"

The old fat man got my guarantee and smiled very happily: "Brother, if you are loyal, I know that I am definitely right to find you!" Then he patted the dazed Da Su aside and said: "My brother Jiulin has already agreed. I’ve helped you, why are you still dumbfounded? Thank you quickly.”

Dasu glanced at me twice, but his eyes were full of doubt, and he obviously didn't believe in my ability.

It seems that age is also an issue, and sometimes being too young does no good!

The old man looked at me awkwardly, and I smiled relievedly at him. Traveling all over the world these years, what things have I not experienced and what people have I not seen? I have seen many worse people than Da Su.

After the Fengfeng Banquet, it was time to get down to business, and I decided to personally meet the bleeding old tree. I said to Lao Fei and Da Su: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. I can't think of any good solutions until I see the real thing. Let's go to the construction site and have a look."

The old man was quite particular, so he said politely: "You have come all the way and have been on a plane all night, so you should book a hotel room to rest first. You can go back tomorrow."

I shook my head: "Given our relationship, you shouldn't say such polite words! The matter is extremely urgent and there is no room for delay. Let's set off now."

When Da Su heard what I said, a trace of gratitude finally overflowed from his hazy eyes!

Because Lao Fei, Da Su and Li Mazi were all drunk, I naturally became the driver. Dasu originally wanted to ask a driver to take us there, but he made four or five calls in a row. When the driver heard that he was going to the construction site, he immediately hung up the phone, without giving Dasu a chance to speak.

Da Su said to me with a wry smile: "Did you see it? This tree is almost killing me."

I gripped the steering wheel tightly and stared straight ahead. Lao Fei and Li Mazi had fallen asleep in the back seat, but Da Su stayed awake because he wanted to show me the way. In fact, I don't think he was sleepy at all. He probably hadn't had a solid night's sleep in many days.

The car drove smoothly on the highway. Dasu, who had been silent in the passenger seat, suddenly asked me: "Do you think I can escape?"

"Run away, why are you running away?" I glanced at him in confusion.

Dasu said with a bitter face: "I have offended the tree god. The tree god will not let me go. It will definitely come to demand my life..."

I smiled slightly and looked forward calmly: "If you want to hear some false words of comfort, I'm sorry, I don't know how to say it, and I can't say it. And I don't understand why you want to escape? You are not new to society. You are a young boy who runs away when you encounter problems that cannot be solved. How did you get to where you are today? If a tree hurts people because someone has used a knife or ax on it, do you think it is worthy of the word God? Is it? Even if it is really spiritual, it can only be called a tree demon."

Dasu's eyes changed and he looked at me in surprise.

I continued: "No matter how powerful it is, it is just a tree. It is not unreasonable for humans to adapt and survive in the thousands of years of reproduction and changes, and to become the top of the food chain."

Dasu's eyes flashed slightly, as if he was shocked by my words.

I concentrated on driving and ignored him.

An hour later, our car stopped in front of the work shed. The construction site that was originally supposed to be busy was eerily quiet at the moment. The excavator was parked in the yard, and there were a lot of bricks, cement and yellow sand used in the project around. The only thing missing was the busy workers.

The four of us got out of the car.

Dasu pointed forward and said: "That's the tree spirit there..." He thought for a while and suddenly changed his words: "The location of the tree spirit."

I nodded with satisfaction and looked in the direction of his finger.

It was halfway up the hillside. It was afternoon and the sky was clear and cloudless. It was originally a rare good weather, but the forest seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds, dark and gloomy.

Li Mazi suddenly sobered up a lot, came to my side and warned: "Brother, it seems to be an evil spirit!"

Yes, it is evil spirit, and it is quite powerful.

I stood there and looked at it quietly for a long time. The old man stepped forward and asked, "Jiulin, what should we do now?"

"Take this guy with you and go up there to see its true appearance in Lushan." At this moment, I became the backbone of the four-person team, and giving the order gave me some prestige.

Li Mazi looked around, brought some shovels and an ax over, and said to me triumphantly: "I don't believe how great a tree can be. I'll give it two axes to see if it's afraid!" "

Dasu looked very uneasy and looked at us in a panic, obviously not wanting to face the old tree again.

The old fat man encouraged him: "Nothing will happen to me as long as my friend is here, don't worry! We don't know the location. If you don't take us up, how will we find it?"

Dasu had no choice but to force us to climb up the mountain.
