Chapter 6 The Forty Thieves

Time: A rainy day. Place: Zoo.

Characters: A father and his fat son, a teenager, a pair of lovers, and a dirty child.

Use dead branches to draw a circle on the ground. This circle is called a zoo.

There was a young man sitting on a damp wooden chair. He looked melancholy, his hair was dripping with water, and love was gnawing at his heart. He was looking forward to a girl walking lightly on the grass and coming to his side.

Lovers hugged each other in the pavilion. The flowers were wet, goldfish were swimming among the water plants, and ripples appeared on the water.

There are tigers, lions, bears, ostriches, wolves, leopards, and monkeys in the row of iron cages.

The cage is really poetic.

Now, there is a father and his fat son standing in front of the cage. The father said: "Son, you must care for animals, they are just like people. Look, the big tiger is catching lice for the little tiger."

The fat son's mouth was full of bananas and he suddenly cried.

The father said: "What's wrong?"

The fat son looked at his father and said, "I'm not hungry."

The father smiled and said: "Then feed the monkeys!"

At this time, a dirty child climbed over the wall and came in. His hair was like a chicken coop, his neck was gray, and he was wearing tattered clothes. He grinned and made faces at the bear, and slapped the cage loudly.

There are often such wandering happy elves in the city.

The fat son raised his head and said to his father: "Dad, I'm afraid he will hit me."

The father said: "Ignore him, go and feed the monkeys."

They came to the iron cage where the monkeys were kept. The fat son peeled a banana, and the father picked up the banana peel from the ground and solemnly said to his son: "We must protect the environment."

The fat son said: "Why is there only one monkey?"

The father lit a cigarette: "Maybe it's a rare species, a golden monkey. Oh, no, it's sick, poor little guy."

There was a little monkey lying in the cage, with sad eyes and dirty fur.

It is a small cigarette pack.

The fat son threw the banana into the cage and said, "Eat it, little monkey."

The little cigarette sat up and yawned, with tears and snot running down his face. When he saw his father smoking, he crawled over with a cry and stretched out his hand.

The father said: "Give it another banana."

The fat son threw all the bananas in, but the little cigarette packet ignored it. It started rolling on the ground, holding its head in both hands, its eyes were red, and it was squeaking.

The son clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's crazy, it's crazy, it's so fun."

The father said: "What's wrong with this little monkey?"

The little cigarette pack tried to snatch the cigarette from his father's hand.

The father was stunned and said, "I want this." He threw the cigarette into the cage. He immediately picked up the small cigarette pack and took a few puffs. It squatted and shivered.

At some point, the child was lying in front of the cage and said, "What are you looking at? Let me take a look."

The child swallowed and saw the banana in the cage.

The fat son said: "Dad, let's go, he smells really bad."

My father said: "Let's go home and take a shower. The rain has made my neck sticky."

The fat son said as he walked: "You can take a bath, but you don't let me eat chicken drumsticks at night. I don't like them and I'm tired of them."

The child looked at them, picked out the bananas from the cage with branches, held them in his arms, and ran away quickly.

The son said to his father: "Dad, look, that's a thief."

Let's do a little test.

You can't lick your elbow with your tongue.

You can't catch a fly with your bare hands.

You can't pick up a brick with two fingers.

If you do it, then you have the ability to be a thief.

In many places, we often see a group of suspicious people gathering there, smoking and whispering to each other. They look at pedestrians, follow them, and several people cover them. One person will open your backpack very quickly and take out the money and valuables inside.

The whole thing was swept away. The whole process only took a few seconds, and it was carried out in broad daylight. They were very bold. Even if they were discovered by others during the theft, they would just walk away in anger, and then focus on the next target. Most of the pedestrians

Even if they dare to be angry but dare not speak out, it will be difficult for the police to punish them if they catch them, because most of them are underage children, and the leaders who manipulate these children to steal are behind the scenes and are difficult to catch.

The wanted orders for theft issued by the Ministry of Public Security in recent years can also be seen as a ranking list of Chinese thieves. Among them, Kuban ranks second.

Cuban was a craftsman and the teacher of a group of thieves. When he was 22 years old, he wandered around with a knife carved with a goat's head. Wherever he went, the smell of mutton was left behind. But he didn't

They sell mutton kebabs, but not raisins. The first time he committed the theft was on the streets of Wencheng. He saw an old woman telling fortunes, and a yellow bird took out a playing card. The meaning on it probably meant that he was going to make a small fortune recently.

, but there will be noble people to help, everything will turn into good luck, and the wealth will be rolling in from now on.

The old woman said something polite: "Fate is determined by nature, but luck can be changed."

Before leaving, he gave the old woman two yuan, but stole the old woman's wallet.

From that day on, his destiny went to a dead end.

In a robbery case, a thief said to another thief: "You hide behind the door, and if someone comes in, hit him on the head with a stick."

If no one comes in, it's a theft; if someone comes in, it's a robbery.

A thief can become a robber due to accidental factors. If he is hit hard with the stick or encounters resistance, the robber can easily become a murderer.

Cuban first stole and then robbed. For a while, what this bearded man had to do every day was to spend money, take a counterfeit hundred-yuan bill, and buy things. He bought apples, cigarettes, socks, radishes and cabbage, and his

The money was returned time and again by sharp-eyed vendors. During that time, he wandered the streets with more than 3,000 yuan in his pocket.

When Cuban had no food to eat, what made him feel hungry was not his stomach, but emptiness. When he was full, there was an empty place in his heart, and there should be a woman there.

When he was young, he liked to stalk beautiful women on the street. Once, he failed to restrain his hands and was imprisoned for attempted rape.

A few years later, Cuban returned to his hometown and married Gu Li, the most beautiful young widow in the village. He set up more than a hundred banquets, entertained the whole village, and even entertained passers-by. He built roads and built

He built a well and built a grape trellis. The whole village was grateful to him and everyone knew that he had made a fortune outside.

Gu Li had an illegitimate child. She once wanted to drown the child in the basin. Later, she choked when drinking water and lost her courage. One day, under a tree full of locust flowers,

Under the tree, the child said to Cuban: "Ada, I want to become the most powerful thief in the world, just like you."

"Then let me test you," Cuban asked him. "You see a cyclist with a wallet in the basket. How should you get the wallet?"

"I hit the car on purpose." the child replied.

"Haha, little Balang, this won't work. I'll teach you. You can hold a ball of wool in your hand, or a beer rope, red or white, or something like that. Throw it into the rear wheel and get entangled.

The unlucky guy got out of the car and turned around to pull the woolen yarn. You should take advantage of the moment when he turned around and move quickly to get the bag. Some women like to wrap the bag around the handlebars. At that time, you have to

Need a small razor blade."

"I understand, the main thing is to make the cyclists stop."

"Smart. Let me ask you a difficult question again. If that person doesn't ride a bicycle but walks, how do you think of a way to stop him?"

Balang touched his scalp and said, "I don't know."

Cuban put a bunch of Sophora japonica flowers in his mouth and said, "After a while, I will take you out to see a lot of things."

Before leaving, the people in the village sent their children to Kuban's doorstep. They said this: "Let your children follow you and get rich!"

On August 19, 1999, in front of the Jeju Hualian Building, a child suddenly fainted at the intersection, his limbs twitched, and he foamed at the mouth. Many people gathered around to watch, and there was no way to escape. Several other children crowded in the crowd and waited for the opportunity to steal. After getting it,

They winked at the child on the ground, and he stood up, wiped the foam from his mouth, and swaggered away.

We know that the shofar wind is fake, and the foam coming out of the mouth is caused by chewing soap in the mouth.

The oldest of these children is 18 years old and the youngest is only 10 years old. They all call Cuban Ada.

Yesterday they were picking cotton and wolfberry, and today they followed Kuban and Guli to steal and make their way in the world.

From October to December 1999, these forty thieves rented in the Kim family compound on Seomun Street, Jeju City.

Gu Li made a calculation on the wall with half a brick. She said to Cuban: "We, forty people, eat fifty yuan of steamed buns and sixty yuan of vegetables a day. Even pickles.

It takes twenty kilograms to eat. We haven’t eaten meat for a month. Add in smoking, even Balang has learned to smoke. Add in rent, water and electricity bills, it’s 100. This is still a little, what we eat every day

The cost is only 200 yuan, which is more than 6,000 yuan a month. Oh my god, this is not going to work."

Cuban was sleeping. He covered his head with a quilt and blocked his ears with his fingers to avoid hearing Gu Li's nagging.

Gu Li's unique deep eyes began to turn worried, and she continued: "Yesterday, Shenggua and Baishan came back with bruises and bruises on their faces. They didn't steal anything. Let these wastes go home, go back

Go to the cotton fields. Also, Balang bought a toy pistol with the stolen money. He is still a child and loves to play, Balang, Balang."

Gu Li shouted out the window, and a child who was eating bananas in the yard ran in: "What's going on?"

Cuban stretched out his hand from the quilt and slapped Balang hard with the back of his hand, causing Balang's mouth to bleed.

It was dusk, and then a theft occurred that shocked the country and even became famous overseas.
