Guandong region, Withered Leaf City, Wharf.
After changing into casual clothes and disguising their appearance, Mo Yan and Du came to the morning market at the wharf of Withered Leaf City.
The pungent smell of fish filled the air. There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. The only trace of coolness in the morning was washed away by the lively crowd.
"Brother Du, we're here to …"
Mo Yan saw that no one was paying attention to them and asked Yu Long Du casually.
"Catch a few people."
Du's answer was simple. He then pretended to be curious and walked to a stall that was surrounded by onlookers.
"Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a big eel!"
"It's not just you, it's the first time I've caught one too. Do you see that big mouth? If it bites you, your fingers will be bitten off!"
The stall owner was an uncle in his forties. His dark and shriveled skin was obviously caused by the wind and sun every day.
Although he was just an ordinary fisherman, compared to the other stall owners, he was more eloquent.
More and more people came to watch the show. Under the stall owner's guidance, the crowd felt that such a big eel was rare and precious.
A few minutes later, someone bought the conger eel at a high price, and the stall owner took the opportunity to sell more seafood.
Only when there was no more excitement to watch did the crowd disperse in a scattered manner.
Duchao Moyan winked at him, and then his temperament suddenly changed. He didn't do anything special, but he suddenly became an honest middle-aged man.
Mo Yan saw this and also restrained his aura. He shrunk his shoulders slightly and silently followed behind Du.
From the side, the two looked like a pair of down-and-out brothers who did not have a wife and did not have a good life.
Du came to the stall with his hands in his pockets. He stared at the seafood but did not say that he wanted to buy it.
The stall owner was counting the money happily at this time. Seeing Du hesitating in front of him for a long time without buying anything, he could not help but urge him.
"Boss, what do you want to buy? They're all freshly caught. Other people's seafood is not as good as mine!"
"They're all freshly caught?"
"They're all freshly caught!"
"Boss, did you catch that thick and long eel just now?"
"That's right. My fishing skills are well-known in this area. You can ask around!"
Hearing Du praise him for catching a big eel, the stall owner didn't get impatient. After all, his fishing skills were the only thing worth showing off.
"Boss, you're really amazing!"
"Hahaha, you flatter me. Boss, what do you want? I'll definitely pick the best for you! "
The stall owner was very happy to be flattered, but he still couldn't stop talking about business.
At this time, Du also saw that it was about time. He deliberately looked around secretly and urged Mo Yan to come closer.
"Boss, it's like this … Although my brother is a little old, he still wants to try raising an elfin. I saw that you were able to catch such a ferocious eel …"
"I don't understand what you're saying. If you're not going to buy anything, then leave. Don't disturb my business!"
The stall owner guessed Du's intention halfway through and started to chase them away.
However, Du didn't panic. He first grabbed the stall owner's sleeve tightly and then whispered anxiously, "As long as it's not the Carp King, anything else is fine! My brother and I have brought half of our savings! "
"…" The stall owner was obviously stunned, but then he hesitantly pushed them away.
"I still have to do business. These goods will only be sold out at two in the afternoon. I can't waste time with you."
Du's eyes lit up. He pretended to understand the stall owner's unspoken words and then immediately responded, "I understand, I understand. My brother and I will come back at two in the afternoon. We definitely won't disturb your business."
With that, Du pulled Mo Yan and quickly left his stall.
The stall owner hadn't let go of Du's hand just now. He still had a confused look on his face.
What he meant was that if you two brothers bought all the fish in the stall, then I could bring you to get elfins, right?
"Hey, no wonder you're doing so poorly. You're really stupid!"
The stall owner cursed in his heart. Then, he could only continue to buy seafood in boredom.
"Come back in the afternoon. See how I'll trick you!"
On the other side, Mo Yan and Du had already slipped to an empty corner. As soon as they stopped, Du couldn't help but laugh.
"That stall owner, he's probably scolding us for being stupid now."
"So Brother Du, that stall owner is an elfin poacher?" Mo Yan was easily amused. He mercilessly talked about business.
"If it's just him alone, then we don't even need to send out independent investigators.
According to the informant's information and the secret investigation of the Alliance, there is a group of elfin poachers at this dock.
It's said that they have no bottom line at all. The well-preserved elfins will be quickly sold at a low price.
Elfins that are seriously injured or have no direct trading value will be directly dissected.
The energy storage organs will be sold to factories, the meat will be sold to hotels and restaurants, and finally, the completely useless parts will be burned. "
Mo Yan was silent after listening. Such an organization obviously didn't treat elfins as intelligent creatures. They would harvest and kill them at will without any bottom line.
"Then in the afternoon, we'll follow the clues through the stall owner and get rid of them all, right?" Mo Yan confirmed.
"That's right. Your acting just now was not bad. You're completely an unmarried young man in dire straits."
"Same to you."
Time passed quickly and it was already two o 'clock in the afternoon. The stall owner had already sold all his seafood. He was waiting for Mo Yan and Du Wei to come.
But after waiting for a long time, the two of them still didn't come. It was until a quarter past two that Mo Yan and Du pretended to have just arrived. However, they were already holding a bulging leather bag in their hands.
At this moment, the stall owner's original impatience disappeared instantly. However, he still pretended to be reserved and nodded, "I didn't expect you to come."
"Yes, we came. After all, we have to prepare something. Boss understands." Du patted the leather bag and immediately kept it in his arms. He looked like he was afraid of being robbed.
"Understood understood understood. Come with me!"
The stall owner didn't hesitate anymore. He originally wanted to ask about the two's identity, but after seeing the leather bag in Du's arms, the stall owner only wanted to make money now.
After that, the stall owner began to lead the way. They scurried left and right in the harbor. Soon, they arrived at an ordinary house.
"Be quiet when you go in. Point out whichever one you like. Don't disturb the others … um, rest."
Brother Du and Mo Yan nodded obediently. Then, they followed the stall owner and pretended to be very careful as they walked in.
In a dark room, there were four half-dead elfins in a slightly turbid large fish tank.
Two Horned Goldfish, one Starfish, and one Bigtongue Shell.
However, even with such quantity and quality, there were still too many commoners who had never seen elfins before.
