The fat man ran out of breath and his pants fell off.
I walked out of the back door of the hotel and crossed an alley behind the greenery. I ran here in one breath. I quickly took out the key and opened the rolling shutter door of a warehouse.
"Enter!"
I slammed down the rolling shutter door, and the fat man held the shoe box with one hand, holding the other hand on the wall and gasping for air.
I spent 100 yuan to rent this place from a local a few days ago. I said it was used to store sundries, but it was actually to deal with emergencies like this. The longer I have been in the industry, the more I care about this aspect.
Sometimes when I arrive in a place, I rent several rooms first.
This warehouse is less than ten square meters in total, has no electricity, no windows, is very dark, and has a musty smell.
"Brother...brother, what's going on? Do you have a hat?"
In the darkness, I took a deep breath: "I'm not sure if it's the hat, but it doesn't feel right. Please don't make any sound."
I immediately took out my phone and turned on the speaker phone.
Before I ran out, I put a spare mobile phone under the coffee table. The two mobile phones kept talking. If someone came into the room to talk, I would be able to hear the sound.
Time passed by minute by second, and I stayed in the warehouse like this for more than half an hour.
There was deathly silence on the other end of the phone, no sound came through.
"Brother, have you not had a good rest in the past two days? Are you too nervous and suspicious?" the fat man asked.
I gestured and booed.
The next second, the sound of the door opening and voices came from the other end of the phone.
In the past, the radio quality of the brick machine was very good. Although it was not very clear, it could be heard from far away.
First there was the voice of the hotel proprietress speaking.
"Huh? Why is there no one there? Where have everyone gone? There is no check-out."
Then I heard a man's voice saying: "How could a person living in your place disappear out of thin air? When was the last time you saw the person living in this room?"
The landlady immediately said: "Hey, I really can't remember it at this moment. The tenants living in this room were weird. At first there was a young man with a foreign accent, and then two older men came and said they were together.
Yes, even three grown men are not too crowded."
Then I heard the boss's wife complain again: "Look at the renovation of my house. There is dirt everywhere. I don't know what the big puddle is on the bathroom floor. There is also a smell! Maybe he is afraid that I will say something about them.
, let’s run away.”
Listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone, I bit my fingers nervously and kept thanking the landlady in my heart.
"Brother, we've searched it. These people must have just escaped not long ago. They didn't take away these cigarette butts or the dirty clothes they changed from on the sofa."
"Brother, I just don't understand. We shouldn't have alerted the snake. How did these people notice it??"
Suddenly, there was no sound on the other end, and it seemed that everyone was silent for an instant.
The fat man and I looked at each other.
Through the bright light of the screen, I could clearly see that there was a layer of sweat on the fat man's forehead. I didn't know whether it was because he was tired or frightened.
"Hello?"
The fat man kept gesticulating with me, meaning to hang up quickly! Stop talking!
I ignored it, raised my phone and replied, "He Lu?"
"You guys are quite thoughtful. We are from the Shuozhou Police Station. If we can escape, the monks cannot escape from the temple. We took the initiative to surrender ourselves and strive for leniency."
The fat man suddenly collapsed on the ground and shook his head bitterly. We spent time and effort to buy so many goods, but it was over before we could realize them and enjoy them.
I didn't panic and said directly to the person on the other end: "How can anyone call him Big Brother Hat? Hat pays attention to both the person and the stolen goods. What you want is to keep the oriole behind, right? Do you know who I am?"
"Hehehe, Mr. Xiang, you are really smart. I let you slip away even though I was trying to stop him. But it's not a big problem. As long as you are still in Shuozhou, you are just a turtle in the urn."
I also laughed and said, "Brother, who the hell are you trying to scare? I have been around for so many years and I have never experienced any big storms. Do you know that there is an antonym for a turtle in a urn, which is called a fish that slipped through the net."
The other end was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Shuozhou is our territory. If you come and take our things without saying hello, it is considered stealing. But since you do it, it will save us trouble. I will give you two ways.
First, hand over all the goods, and second, bury you alive, and then the things will belong to us. Do you think you can really steal things from our land without anyone noticing? It's a joke."
After hearing this, I loudly replied: "There are no such rules on the road! The goods are buried underground! Whoever has the fucking ability to find them can belong to them! You just said that you want to eat something and pick it up ready-made, and I still respect you! Find it for yourself
What’s the reason for this?”
"Besides, I didn't expect Boss Hou to be this kind of person! Fortunately, I respected him before, but he is not as good as Brother Tian. He is still far behind! If Brother Tian wants to do this, we will be dead by now!"
"The surname is Xiang, this matter has nothing to do with Boss Hou."
"It doesn't matter? You underestimate my IQ. He will definitely say it doesn't matter for the sake of face on the road! Anyway, when we die, we will die without any evidence! As long as we have the money."
"Let me make it clear! Tell Boss Hou that this batch of goods belongs to me, Xiang Yunfeng! Speak politely, and I can give you 10% of it as land fee, but if you want to take advantage of it, no."
"Interesting, boy, do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are! Do you fucking know who I am? Do you fucking know who my master is! Do you fucking know who my godfather is? Do you fucking know what's behind my back?"
Who are the connections in my network! If I make any skin in Shuozhou! Within half a year! Your entire Wolf Gang will be buried with you!"
"Hahaha! You little brat, you are really good at bragging. Don't you rely on Arita Miku to protect you? I'm telling you! You are dead! I would be afraid of him in other places! But in Shuozhou, he
It’s nothing! If you have the guts, let him come! See if I torture him to death! Remember my name, my name is Hou Jinhai! Wash your neck for me...wait.”
"Dududu..."
Hang up.
"What's wrong, Fatty, do you know where this Jin Hai is coming from?"
The fat man's face turned pale, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he said: "Brother... the situation is not good. We are afraid that this time we will have a chance to make money but not spend it. We will have a narrow escape from death."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail!" I had never heard of this person's name on the road.
The fat man took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it shakily and said, "Hou Baiwan, haven't you heard of it?"
"Hou Baiwan...Hou Linshan???"
The fat man nodded.
My face also turned pale.
The fat man leaned against the rolling shutter door and patted his belly. He exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed: "My ambition has not yet been fulfilled. My hometown is thousands of miles away. I am going crazy as a teenager. I will die on the left and die on the right. I have offended this person."
I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Nanping and see the cherry blossoms in my hometown."
"Is there a feathered cherry blossom in Nanping?" I asked speechlessly.
"Then let's take jasmine. Anyway, I can't see any flowers. Hey, my two hundred and fifty pounds of fat will most likely be left here."
I also lit a cigarette and scratched my head vigorously.
After thinking for a while, I tried to call my cell phone.
At this moment, I wanted someone to pick me up, but I was also afraid that someone would pick me up.
"Hello."
They actually picked it up there.
I immediately said: "Brother Hou!"
"Boss, it's still the same kid from before."
"Little Bibi, what's wrong?"
"Brother Hou, I was actually joking with you just now. Haha, my little brother Xiang Yunfeng has always admired Brother Hou's reputation, but he never had the chance to get to know him. This batch of goods coming out of Heituo Mountain this time, according to the rules of our road, must be yours.
Yes, I was just afraid that you would waste your time and effort, so I cut it off first and played it later."
"Oh? Your attitude changed very quickly. Boy, why don't you scold my mother?"
"I didn't curse."
"Didn't you scold me? You mean my ears are ringing. What the hell did you say just now?"
"Oh, think about it for me, how many times did he scold me just now?"
"Go back to the boss! This kid just scolded you several times, damn you! I can't even remember!"
The fat man was trying his best to wink at me.
I held up the phone and said, "Brother Hou, you really heard wrong. What I just said was my fuck, I didn't say your fuck."
"Okay, okay, kid, I reluctantly forgive you. I'm here at the hotel. You can bring the goods over here."
I lowered my voice and said, "Brother Hou...are you really not going to give me a way to survive?"
"You come here first, come here and let's talk."
I put out my cigarette and said, "You just want money, I'll give it to you."
The other end immediately said: "What you're saying is that not only do I want your goods and your life, I also can't stand your arrogance, and I can't stand the person behind you, Tian Sanjiu. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I understand."
Glancing at the screen, I shouted loudly: "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck your whole family!"
