C32 (1/2)
Seeing that I sent Zhang Daoling away, the Paper-man Zhang knew that something big was up. As expected, after hearing the grudge between the Mighty Miracle God and me and the Heavenly Court's letter that was delayed, the Paper-man Zhang panicked. He has already seen that if he wants to develop in the paper industry, he has to rely on my power in the Netherworld.
”At this point,” I said, ”we'll have to make a 120-meter bridge overnight.”
Paper-man Zhang frowned, ”But we don't have enough manpower. Those helpers didn't sleep last night, and today I saw them dozing off on paper men, so I let them go back. There's no one to be found tonight. ”
”Then the three of us will do it,” I said, anxious.
Paper-man Zhang shook his head, ”This paper product needs to be designed again, we need to cut the paper, chop the bamboo, and roast the fire. There are many ways to do it, even if the three of us busied ourselves for an entire night, we might not be able to tie up the bones properly!”
”Then what should we do?” I have no idea what to do, and Paper-man Zhang was also silent.
At this moment, I looked up and saw the camel outside, as well as his number one hundred lackeys. I suddenly had an idea. Paper-man Zhang followed my gaze, and the look in his eyes became passionate.
”I was just thinking about how to start, how to use them all, when the camel came in again.” ”Elder Brother Snake,” said the camel, holding a phone, ”Brother Loong wants to talk to you!”
I took the phone. There was no helping it, unless I really didn't want to live anymore, I had to give Brother Loong some face. ”Hey, Brother Loong —”
”Old Snake, this time you have to help big brother,” Brother Loong said sincerely on the phone, ”Downhill Leopard's Celestial Dog Gang is too overbearing, we can't hold on for much longer in the city.”
”Camel is also my old brother, letting him develop in Village Chen was my intention as well. He can be considered as giving us a way out for us to rise again. Brother, the camels have already told me, since you have a shop in the Village Chen, then help me keep an eye on the camels. After what happened last time, the dark people kept an eye on us too closely, and told them to restrain themselves, so we can leave behind the last base for our Flying Dragon Association. ”Brother, I beg of you —”
Brother Loong was on the phone right now, and he didn't seem like the world-shaking big brother at all. Instead, he looked like a long-winded, pitiful old man. ”Alright, Brother Loong, I'll take care of them for you. But let me say this first, I won't do anything illegal.”
Hearing my words, Brother Loong became excited on the phone, ”Okay, okay, give the phone to Luo Feng, I'll explain it to him again.”
The Brother Loong spoke a few more words with the camel before hanging up the phone. The camel then said to me, ”Elder Brother Snake, Brother Loong said that from today onwards, we will listen to your commands. Even if you make us lose all our splendor, we will do the same.”
I nodded and rubbed my hands together.
I walked to the door. The camel told the delinquents to quiet down, and then the camel passed on the words of the Brother Loong. Then, it was my turn to speak.
I looked at this 100 thugs, nervous? I'm the one who spoke to 120 million dead men.
Brother, from today onwards, we will use our Village Chen as the base to develop our own strength, ”I said.” From now on, this will be our base of operations.
”Alright!” Camel may look like a ferocious baldy, but in reality, he is quite perceptive. The moment I said those words, he started clapping.
I waved my hand, signalling the applause to stop, and continued, ”But recently, the Downhill Leopard's Celestial Dog Gang have been pressing down on us, and the police have also been eyeing us covetously. We need to restrain ourselves a little. So from now on, you will all be part of our Paper-man Zhang's Paper Doll Shop. Difficulties were only temporary, but the future was still beautiful. Does anyone have any objections! ”
”Alright!” The camel led the applause again. The other lackeys already followed his lead and nodded their heads.
A stone fell from my heart, ”Alright, from now on, you will all be employees of Paper-man Zhang's Paper Doll Shop. You will receive 100 yuan daily as pay, you will receive overtime pay, have hot meals, pipe tobacco, and beer after work.”
I know these hooligans too well, other than Flying Dragon Association's camels and a few other black t-shirts, the other hooligans are all living a precarious life. No matter how much you say to him, it's better to just give him the money and directly give him the tobacco and alcohol.
Indeed, when I said this, the entire crowd started to boil.
”Elder Brother Snake is loyal!” ”In the future, my life will be sold to the Elder Brother Snake!” Elder Brother Snake, what do you think we should do? ”
I appropriately pulled Paper-man Zhang out, ”Tonight, I am going to tie up a 120m long paper bridge. As for how to do it, Paper-man Zhang will be the commander, and the camels will be the leader. I will go buy meat for everyone and buy cigarettes!”
The last sentence, won the applause from all the delinquents. At this moment, even if Camel and Brother Loong were to stand in front of them, they would be overturned by these delinquents.
The Paper-man Zhang, with the help of the camel, quickly assigned the tasks. The paper and bamboo were sufficient, and the manpower was quickly divided. Under Zhang Daoling's lead, some people split the bamboo, others cut the paper, and some people prepared the pigments.
