There will be people in the village coming to buy charcoal.
This was quite common in the village, just like the salesmen who walked the streets. Moreover, the other party claimed that he was from the village and was familiar with the Xiao family's situation. Chen Jinzhou didn't think much about it for a while.
He agreed through the door, "Wait until I ask."
Chen Jinzhou's footsteps faded away, and soon he walked outside the room and asked Mrs. Xiao if she wanted to buy some charcoal.
"Is it a charcoal seller?"
Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that she was selling charcoal. She glanced at the half bag of charcoal in the corner, thought for a moment and said, "Let's open the door and buy some."
It happened that their family's charcoal was almost finished. The whole family was at home and burned two braziers a day to warm the fire. The charcoal was not broken, so the charcoal did go away faster.
Chen Jinzhou nodded.
"Okay, I'll go and ask them to weigh it."
"Okay, I'll get the bag."
Old Mrs. Xiao turned around to get a sack to put the charcoal in. When Zhang Ma saw it, she stopped the old lady and suggested that she just go and get it.
"Auntie, you sit and look after the child. I'll get it and do some exercise on the way."
After the three children were full and tired from playing, they fell asleep side by side on the bed next to the window. The window left a small gap for the outside wind to blow in. It would not blow directly to the children, but it would not let the wind inside the house.
The air is not flowing.
Burning charcoal at home is very particular.
The old lady didn’t know what carbon monoxide poisoning was, but when she was young, the third brother of the neighbor next door burned charcoal at home with the door closed, and he died the next day. There was a precedent, the old lady burned charcoal.
It's time to pay attention.
Zhang's mother is from the north. She used to take care of Mr. Fang and has been living in the north. She is really not used to the life of burning charcoal at home in the south. So after sitting for a while, she felt that her back and legs hurt, and she wanted to go for a walk.
It's a good time to go and see someone selling charcoal.
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded in agreement, "Okay, you go to the kitchen and get a bag. Just buy a fifty kilogram bag and that's it."
They left the day after tomorrow, and even if they bought more, they wouldn't be able to use it all. In the eyes of the old lady, fifty pounds was already quite a lot.
Zhang Ma said yes, gathered her clothes and quickly found the sack, then walked across the yard to the door.
Chen Jinzhou also reached out and opened the door.
Zhao Laowu and Wang Laoba outside the door did not expect such an ending. They both thought there was no chance, but they did not expect such an unexpected surprise.
The two looked at each other, concealed the joy on their faces, put on another honest and honest smile, and waited for Chen Jinzhou to open the door.
The courtyard door was opened, and there were indeed two men wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets, thin but with shrewd eyes. Each of them had a load of charcoal at hand.
Seeing the people coming out, Zhao Laowu bent down and said with a smile: "The charcoal in our house is very good, it burns thoroughly, and it is very powerful without fireworks. Burning one piece is equivalent to burning several pieces by others."
Chen Jinzhou definitely has no research on charcoal.
After all, he has been living in a compound like the capital city since he was born. Charcoal is not common there, more coal.
Therefore, when Zhao Laowu introduced it, Chen Jinzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the dark charcoal in the sack, not knowing how to distinguish whether it was good or bad.
Wang Laoba on the side took the opportunity and said, "Young man, are you a relative of brother Xiao from the city? Don't worry, we are all from the same village, and we will definitely not lie to you."
"You don't know how to choose this charcoal. I'll choose it for you. I'll show you what kind of charcoal is good and smoke-free."
As Wang Laoba said, he picked up a piece of charcoal and waved it in front of Chen Jinzhou. He did not forget to show Zhao Laowu a hint of color where Chen Jinzhou could not see it.
Zhao Laowu nodded and was ready.
"Yes, yes, look at the color and the sound. This is what good charcoal can produce." Zhao Laowu hid the drug in the charcoal under the palm of his hand, and used the charcoal as a cover to bring it to the tip of Chen Jinzhou's nose.
"Weigh me fifty pounds."
Chen Jinzhou smelled a smell that was not very good. He couldn't tell what it was for a while. He frowned slightly and stepped back, looking at the two people in front of him with some displeasure.
"Why does your carbon have a strange smell?"
"Weird?"
Zhao Laowu's face stiffened, then he smiled and said: "Young man, the tip of your nose is so sharp. This is made from a tree called camphor wood in our mountains. This camphor wood smells just like its name. It is
It’s a tree that emits fragrance. If you don’t believe me, smell it again and see if it smells like wood?”
Zhao Laowu said and handed the charcoal to Chen Jinzhou again with very fast movements. Chen Jinzhou subconsciously stepped back and kicked the charcoal away from Zhao Laowu's hand.
He took two steps back, feeling dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
"What are you..."
No matter how dull Chen Jinzhou is at this time, he can still notice that something is wrong. There is a ghost in the charcoal between these two people, no, it should be them.
"you……"
Seeing that Chen Jinzhou had inhaled the drug and his face had become a little pale, Zhao Laowu and Wang Laoba laughed and did not hide it, threw away the charcoal in their hands and stepped forward.
"I said, young man, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Let's help you go in and rest..."
Zhao Laowu stretched out his hand first, but before he could touch Chen Jinzhou, he was forcefully thrown away by him. Zhao Laowu's face was slightly dry, and there was cruelty on his face that had always been wearing a fake smile.
"You brat... If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with alcohol?"
Zhao Laowu glanced at Wang Laoba. They were both extremely vicious men. They looked at each other and directly pulled out their specially crafted long knives from under the pole.
"I'm here today to see if your bones are stronger or if my sword is stronger."
They walked towards Chen Jinzhou step by step.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Ma's voice suddenly sounded. Zhao Laowu and Wang Laoba were distracted by the voice. They looked into the yard and saw Zhang Ma carrying a big wooden stick and swinging it towards them.
"Ignorant woman, seeking death."
Zhao Laowu and Wang Laoba didn't take Ma Zhang to heart at all. In their view, Chen Jinzhou was their threat, but now this biggest threat had fallen under their spell.
It's useless.
What can a mere woman do? She is just here to die.
"Lao Wu, make it quick. Get them to hold the baby. Don't delay our happy New Year." Wang Lao Ba was even more ruthless than Zhao Lao Wu. When he saw Zhang Ma rushing out, he was holding the knife on his wrist.
After a while, I planned to go up and deal with Zhang Ma.
Zhao Laowu nodded. These two people had been doing some kidnapping and trafficking in lesbians in the past two years. They also encountered many people who resisted, but they were still knocked down by the special drug they obtained.
They made a lot of money.
They were targeting the triplets of the Xiao family today, and they thought the result would be the same.
"Old man, do it."
Here we go, alas, there are so many things to do on weekends. I had to catch up on the manuscript not long after I came back. Fortunately, I caught up.
