Chapter 514: Fish Find Fish, Shrimp Find Shrimp

It is said that enemies are especially jealous when they meet, but one must admit that people like Niu Great Ming, who can still offer a smiling face when meeting an enemy, are truly few.

And although Wang An wished he could kill Niu Great Ming and his companion right now, for his own sake, Wang An still restrained himself.

So upon hearing this, Wang An also replied with a laugh:

"Yeah, forgot to buy two things, have to make another trip to buy them."

Niu Great Ming was stunned upon hearing this, not expecting Wang An to answer so specifically.

Because in Niu Great Ming's expectation, Wang An should have just given a perfunctory answer.

However, what Niu Great Ming never expected was that the "two things" Wang An spoke of were not real "things," but the lives of Niu Great Ming and his companion.

Before Niu Great Ming could speak again, Wang An continued to urge his horse forward.

After Wang An had gone far away, the kid who ruined things nervously said to Niu Great Ming: "Brother Niu, do you think he knows about our business?"

Niu Great Ming, upon hearing this, showed no fear or panic, but instead narrowed his eyes with a heavy expression and said:

"He shouldn't know. When you gave them the cigarette paper, didn't you cover your face?"

The kid who ruined things, upon hearing this, continued to say nervously:

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

Niu Great Ming was stunned upon hearing this, and angrily said, hating his incompetence:

"Didn't you say it was foolproof? Is this what you call foolproof?"

The kid who ruined things, although full of panic, still explained:

"I meant that with so many of them and so many guns, they would definitely be able to handle the Big Madman, I didn't..."

Before the kid could finish his sentence, Niu Great Ming interrupted him very angrily:

"Foolproof my ass! Did they handle him? I'm asking you, did they handle him?"

After Niu Great Ming finished speaking, he glared fiercely at the kid again, and the kid looked at Niu Great Ming but couldn't say a word.

After a while, the kid stammered:

"How about, how about we, hire someone?"

Niu Great Ming's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said:

"That's right! The person who found you last time is the one who specializes in introducing dirty work, let's go find him right now."

After Niu Great Ming finished speaking, the kid who ruined things was also full of excitement.

However, soon, Niu Great Ming said to this kid who ruined things with a laugh:

"Dong Zi, how much money do you estimate we'll need?"

This kid called Dong Zi thought carefully and said:

"At least 500 yuan. If it's the Big Madman, maybe, maybe..."

Speaking to this point, this kid called Dong Zi started stammering again, and looked at Niu Great Ming.

Niu Great Ming's brow instantly furrowed into a "chuan" shape upon hearing "500 yuan."

The main thing is that 500 yuan at this time is truly not a small amount; if calculated by per capita income, it would take a person a full 8 years and 4 months to save up.

But when he realized Dong Zi couldn't continue, Niu Great Ming knew that 500 yuan was simply not enough. So Niu Great Ming's originally smiling face immediately drooped, and then he looked at Dong Zi with full hope and said:

"Dong Zi, how much money do you have in your pocket right now?"

After Niu Great Ming finished asking, Dong Zi started to turn out all the pockets on his body. After turning out all the pockets on his body, Dong Zi started to count the money.

It must be said that this Dong Zi was doing quite well; the money on his whole body added up to a full 25 yuan and some change.

Niu Great Ming watched the process of Dong Zi taking out and counting the money, so when Dong Zi finished counting, Niu Great Ming's originally hopeful face drooped again.

Just then, Dong Zi asked Niu Great Ming cautiously: "Brother Niu, how much do you have?"

The reason Dong Zi was cautious was actually because Dong Zi had already guessed it in his heart when he saw Niu Great Ming's ashen face.

In this day and age, people who can have 500 yuan in their pockets cannot be said to be non-existent, but they must be one in ten thousand.

Although Niu Great Ming's mood was not very optimistic, he still turned out all the pockets on his body.

But after counting, he found that it was 24 yuan and some change, missing a few cents to reach 25. However, if the two people's money were combined, it would just exceed 50, with a few extra dimes.

The two held their money and stared blankly ahead, unable to think of a way to get money for a while.

It must be said that all kinds of old Chinese sayings are very reasonable.

And one of them is especially reasonable: "Fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, turtles find tortoises."

Of course, there are many idioms that have similar meanings.

Like "jackals from the same lair," "colluding with each other," "birds of a feather flock together," "like-minded," "wallowing in the mire"... and so on, all can perfectly interpret these two.

I saw Niu Great Ming and this person called Dong Zi, after staring blankly for a while, subconsciously looked at each other, and then almost simultaneously looked away, turning their eyes to the two horses pulling the carriage.

Immediately after, the two moved their eyes away from the two horses at the same time and looked at each other again.

Finally, the two said almost simultaneously: "This horse of mine was bought with borrowed money!"

To be honest, this kind of perfect synchronization is absolutely very difficult to achieve.

The most awesome thing is that although the two said the same thing, neither felt embarrassed or inappropriate.

After the two finished speaking, the person called Dong Zi thought for a moment, patted the carriage board, and said again: "The wheels of this carriage are new, and the carriage body is also newly made. It should be worth at least five hundred and some change, maybe it can sell for six hundred yuan. Six hundred and some yuan is just about, just about, enough, enough to use."

When speaking the last few words, Dong Zi had already lowered his voice and started stammering, and his eyes were flickering as he looked at Niu Great Ming.

The meaning of what this Dong Zi said was very clear: the horses were bought with borrowed money, so don't sell them; just selling the carriage would be enough.

And Niu Great Ming, upon hearing this, felt his eyes were about to spit fire, because this carriage body and wheels belonged to Niu Great Ming!

Fortunately, Niu Great Ming was still able to keep his cool at this time and didn't start arguing with the one called Dong Zi.

A moment later, I saw Niu Great Ming suppressing his anger, staring at Dong Zi with a look that wished he could kill him, and said:

"Fine, no matter how much this carriage sells for, you have to count half of it. After that, you lead this horse to my house first. Whenever you pay me back, you can lead it back."

The one called Dong Zi was instantly stunned upon hearing this; after calculating for so long, it was so easily resolved by Niu Great Ming.

After being stunned, the one called Dong Zi could only nod helplessly.

It must be admitted that everyone is quite concerned about their own property, and in terms of guarding wealth, everyone's brain reacts extremely fast.

Anyway, these two were evenly matched in terms of calculation; neither suffered a loss, and neither took advantage.
