Qingyu lake.


    "Brother Qu, we''ve got all the money. There''s no need to really go there." Asked a little brother with a cloth bag on his back.


    "I think we''d better go back to the city first and find a cash counter to check the money," another younger brother said. "In case there are counterfeit banknotes in it, it''s better to find the old man and knock more."


    Brother Qu is squatting by the lake smoking cigarettes, his younger brothers in his ear, you say me a word, the main idea is to go back earlier, do not want to stay in this beautiful but deserted ghost place.


    "You know an egg?" Qu Ge impatiently put out his cigarette end in the soil on the ground. "I know I''m thinking about this little money in front of me." The younger brothers are too short-sighted.


    "What do you mean, brother Qu?" A younger brother asked wisely.


    "I called my dad yesterday." Qu GE''s father, of course, is Ding Ling''s right-hand Qu Taoist.


    "He said --" brother Qu''s expression was mysterious.


    "What did your father say?" The boys are all interested.


    ”Qu Ge said in a low voice, as if someone would eavesdrop on him in the wilderness: "my father said that Mermaid, like ghost, is real!"


    "What?" "True or false!" The younger brothers exclaimed. If someone else said this, they would laugh loudly. But the source of brother Qu''s news is his father, Taoist Qu, whose skills are well known. He is a real expert.


    In fact, brother Qu''s attitude towards his father is similar to that of his younger brothers. Even brother Qu doesn''t know much about his father than others. When he was not sensible, his father went to Tianmu Mountain to study arts. When he came back, brother Qu had become a street bum. But he didn''t hate his father. On the contrary, his father brought him numerous conveniences after he came back, and he was happy to rely on his father''s power. From a little gangster to a little leader in the gangster, even the cadres in the Longyun club will nod and smile at themselves when they see them. Brother Qu has lived for more than 20 years and has never been treated like this.


    Maybe this is the feeling of "respect".


    "Do you know how much a scale of a mermaid can sell in the market?" Brother Qu asked again.


    "Are there any Mermaid scales on the market?" Compared with the price, the younger brothers are more surprised that there are such things in circulation in the market.


    "You don''t know that!" In fact, brother Qu didn''t know it until he talked to his father on the phone yesterday. At this time, he can take it out and brag with his younger brothers.


    All the little brothers around him were really attentive and full of expectation.


    This is what Quge wants, the feeling of being noticed. As the only son of Taoist Qu, he is no longer short of money, and he doesn''t have much ambition for power, so he should have been satisfied and become a childe. But he still takes his younger brothers around every day to get into trouble, because he still wants to be noticed, and he wants his father, who has been away from him for more than 20 years, to see more of himself.


    "On the Internet, there is a black area," Qu Ge said mysteriously. "It''s a forbidden area that ordinary Internet users can''t enter, and there is no legal supervision. It''s the darkest side of the Internet, and it''s also the freest side. "


    Hearing brother Qu''s description, some of his eyes were full of yearning, while others swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously.


    "One of them is called Phoenix." Qu Ge said darkly.


    "Phoenix net! I know. I often watch the news on it! " A little brother raised his hand excitedly.


    "Don''t interrupt!" Brother Qu glared impatiently at his younger brother, "I''m talking about ''Phoenix'', not ''Phoenix News''!" It''s hard to create a little atmosphere, which is all diluted by my younger brother''s interruptions.


    "Phoenix is an auction website, where you can auction everything, including antiques, abducted women, concert tickets of stars and even yourself. Anything you want can be sold!"


    "Himself? How do you want to sell yourself? " A little brother couldn''t help asking.


    "Work hard, the person who bought you will let you help him kill or transport drugs. After completing the task, you will be free again. If you don''t complete it --"


    "what will happen if you don''t complete it?"


    "Death, either for the employer to complete the task, or die on the way to perform the task."


    After brother Qu finished, no younger brother dared to answer, and the air fell into a dead silence. They were just some bullying gangsters. In front of the real darkness, they were too small to mention.


    After a long time, someone asked: "how many scales of the mermaid can be sold on that website?"


    "It depends on the appearance of the product," brother Qu pretended to understand very well. "If the appearance of the product is ordinary, you can sell it for four or five hundred thousand."


    My God, four or five hundred thousand for a scale? How many scales does that Mermaid have?


    "The complete, I mean, the perfect scale, how much do you sell?" A little brother asked.


    Brother Qu raised his right hand, stretched out his thumb and little finger, and made a "six" comparison."Six hundred thousand?" We had a base of four and a half million, and this 600000 basically met our expectations.


    "Six million." Brother Qu said with an affectation.


    Hiss - the younger brothers take a deep breath one after another. Compared with the ordinary Mermaid scales, the perfect Mermaid scales can sell for more than ten times the price. They can''t imagine why there are such rich people in the world willing to pay six million for a piece of scale.


    "There''s still a price for six million, but there''s no market for it," Quge continued. "If someone really gets the scales and puts them on the website for auction, the price will definitely be higher."


    There is no one to talk about it. What brother Qu described is really bizarre. Let''s not talk about how the buyer can confirm the authenticity of the scales, and let''s not talk about how the seller should collect money. Just talking about these figures, it''s exaggerating to the extent of absurdity. If so, wouldn''t that living Mermaid sell billions of dollars casually?


    "So if there are mermaids in Qingyu lake, we will be developed." Brother Qu said with a smile.


    The younger brothers suddenly showed their disillusioned expression. Yes, although the legend of mermaid is so illusory to them, with the temptation of money, mermaid seems to be within reach.


    This is the charm of money, it can make people''s mind become confused, let people to touch the things that originally avoided.


    Why do scales of mermaid sell at such a high price? You know, there are at least hundreds of scales on a mermaid''s body.


    They don''t think about the dangerous information contained in this problem at all, they only have greed in their mind.
