Chapter 140 Ambush

Most of the villagers in Yangjiazhuang couldn't sleep that night. The white thorny light bulbs dazzled people's eyes. Even if they didn't look at it, the house was as bright as during the day, so it was difficult to fall asleep.

But they didn't want to shut it down, they just looked at it and felt comfortable in their hearts.

Under the bright lights, even the dirt road at the door is reflected brightly. It is no longer like before. It is okay to have moonlight. When there is no light, you can only walk in the dark. If you encounter a big stone thrown by a naughty child, you will inevitably

Gotta get tripped up.

On the dirt road leading to the east end of the village, many villagers came.

When they arrived at the canteen, the villagers were noisy at Zhang Guoquan.

Zhang Guoquan heard clearly, and indeed, as he guessed, they were all here to change the light bulbs.

Among the noisy crowd was Lao Wangtou, who even at such an old age came to join in the fun.

Zhang Guoquan finally appeased the villagers and said that as long as the light bulbs were not working, they would be replaced.

But the villagers are not willing to give up. They have been waiting for this day. Other people's houses have lights on, so why can't these dozens of households have lights on?

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but this was the first time. This was the first time this happened, and the villagers thought it was unlucky.

No matter what, you have to keep the lights on tonight, otherwise, everyone won't be able to sleep, and you, Zhang Guoquan, don't want to sleep either.

Zhang Guoquan, who was in front of the canteen, couldn't figure out why there were so many broken light bulbs all at once.

When he saw Lao Wangtou, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you all buy the light bulbs three days ago?"

He still had an impression of Lao Wangtou. He brought two light bulbs to Lao Wangtou three days ago, but now the ones at Lao Wangtou's house don't light up either.

The villagers chirped and said, yes, they got it that day.

They all picked up light bulbs that day. Zhang Guoquan lowered his eyebrows and thought, that's right. Three hundred light bulbs were brought over three days ago, and they happened to be bought by these dozens of households.

In other words, there is something wrong with that batch of light bulbs.

The other people didn't come to see them, which meant that except for that batch, everything else was fine. Zhang Guoquan used the first batch of light bulbs in his yard, and they were still on.

No wonder this old Liu is so kind, willing to take credit but also push those batches of light bulbs over.

It seems that Old Liu knew that there was something wrong with those batches of light bulbs. Zhang Guoquan was feeling bitter and could not express his feelings. This was pouring all the dirty water on him. It was good for Old Liu that he sold out the bulbs with the problem and left them behind.

Pure.

He thought that would be the end of it?

Fortunately, I didn't settle the money for the lightbulb with Old Liu. If Old Liu had taken advantage of the money and ran away like Gold Tooth, it would have been a disaster for the sky and the earth.

There is still a chance. Zhang Guoquan must first comfort the villagers in front of him. He said to the villagers who came: "Folks, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this situation. But I, Zhang Guoquan, will never refuse. If anything happens, we will solve it."

It’s a matter of course, and I hope everyone won’t be in a hurry.”

"It's not urgent. How can we not be in a hurry?"

"When you say we'll solve it, just tell us how to solve it."

The villagers are very angry. If they don't turn on the lights tonight, they will definitely not give up.

Zhang Guoquan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the darkening night, then looked up at the big moon disk, and said: "Everyone go back first, I will go get new light bulbs overnight, and I will ensure that the lights are on in everyone's houses at dawn."

With the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but walk in the dark. Fortunately, there was bright moonlight, otherwise it would have been too difficult to walk in the dark.

"Okay, this is what you said. We guys will give you another chance. If you can't do it before dawn, don't say that the folks are heartless."

A group of people left unhappy. What happened had already happened. They couldn't hang Zhang Guoquan on the beam. A living person couldn't emit light, so they had to go home and wait.

Zhang Guoquan returned to the yard and explained the situation to Bai Ge. Bai Ge expressed concern about going to find Lao Liu in the middle of the night, but there was nothing he could do. This was just the beginning. If he wanted to keep the canteen open, he had to satisfy the villagers.

No matter whether it was Lao Liu's fault or not, it was Zhang Guoquan's canteen anyway, and it was Zhang Guoquan who sold it, so this couldn't be justified. Zhang Guoquan knew it in his heart, and without stopping, he drove the car into the hazy night.

The road is not easy to walk at night. In such a quiet night, there are scattered solitary graves scattered on the edge of the fields. When Zhang Guoquan passed by, he would often startle a group of crows and flap their wings and fly to another short grave.

By the time we arrived in the town, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and naturally every house in the town was closed.

Zhang Guoquan knew where Lao Liu's warehouse was and had been there several times. Lao Liu usually slept in the warehouse.

I found a direction, tightened the shoulder rope, and drove the car through several roads, and finally arrived at Lao Liu's warehouse. The big iron door was closed tightly.

Zhang Guoquan took off the shoulder rope, walked to the big iron gate, and banged the big iron gate. The sound of banging the door was heard far away in the quiet town. He didn't care about it anymore. He had to take the old man to his house no matter what.

Liu woke up.

I took more than a dozen shots, but no movement was seen in the warehouse.

Zhang Guoquan was most worried that Lao Liu was not in the warehouse. Lao Liu was not tall, but he was high-spirited and had some money, so he sent his wife and children to the county town to live a better life.

Lao Liu had been hanging out in the town since he was speculating. All his connections were in this small town, and he did not dare to abandon the property here and go to the county town with his wife and children.

But if the guarantee is not enough, he will sometimes go to the county town to live for a few days. This is what Zhang Guoquan was most worried about when he came. If Lao Liu is not here, his promise to the villagers that they will definitely turn on the lights tonight will probably be in vain. Then his canteen

Reputation will plummet.

Not giving up, I banged at the iron gate and called out to Lao Liu, but there was still no movement. Maybe he really wasn't in the warehouse.

Zhang Guoquan suddenly had a bold idea. He took a few steps back and looked at the wall. It was very high and it was impossible to climb up with bare hands.

He was planning to climb over the wall, even if Lao Liu was not in the warehouse, and take the light bulb away from the warehouse first.

Just doing this without their consent is considered stealing, but he really can't care about that much now. The villagers are waiting for him to get the light bulb back without sleeping. At worst, he will come over tomorrow to explain to Lao Liu.

Presumably Lao Liu would not blame it, and he had no reason to blame it, because his batch of light bulbs were defective products that did not light up.

But being unable to climb up has become a big problem. What should I do?

He was pacing back and forth, anxious, and suddenly when he saw the car, he had an idea.

Pick up the handlebar, aim the butt of the car against the wall, then lift the handlebar up hard to separate the frame and wheels of the car, and then lift the detached car upright against the wall to form a

A simple ladder so you can climb up.

He put the car upright, stepped on the wooden supports on it, and climbed to the top. He grabbed the top of the wall with both hands and lifted himself up. Finally, he climbed to the top of the wall.

Zhang Guoquan squatted on the wall and glanced into the warehouse. It was really high. There were many benches inside, and they were stacked high. There was no need to worry about not being able to get up when he came out.

At present, he could only choose to jump. With a "swish" sound, he jumped directly without any hesitation.

After falling to the ground, this squat was terrible. His legs hurt from squatting. After a moment of relief, he limped toward the warehouse door.

Fortunately, the warehouse door was unlocked, otherwise he would really have to break in. He opened the old warehouse door and entered in the dark. He probably remembered where the light bulbs were placed and walked towards it. It was too dark in the warehouse.

I usually come during the day, so I didn't pay attention to where the light cord was. I searched around the wall and couldn't find it.

He simply stopped looking for the light rope. He knew the approximate location anyway, so he was right to head towards that pile. The messy warehouse was full of things. Even though he was very careful, he still kicked down a lot of things.

, there was a jingling sound.

After finally reaching the place where the light bulbs were stacked, he was very familiar with the boxes containing the light bulbs. He knew they were light bulbs as soon as he touched them.

He rummaged around and put what he found out aside. It would take about a hundred boxes, which is not a small amount. Lao Liu is still out of stock these days. Maybe there are not so many in the warehouse.

No matter what, it counts as much as you find. The worst thing is that the whole family should not decorate it. Just have a lighted one to look at. I will ask Lao Liu to find a way to decorate it for others during the day tomorrow.
