"Boy, this is a special delicacy here, called Wu'an Ramen. How do you like it?"
I slurped the noodles and raised my head and said, "Master Liu, it's delicious, but Brother Yu and I have been staying here for two days. When do you think the people from Pi County will come?"
"Also, when you ask someone to do something for you, you need to give a gift, right? What do people like? Tea? Cigarettes? Antiques? Or beautiful women?"
"What kind of beauty? Why do you need a beauty when you are already in your seventies or eighty?"
"The man you are going to meet is named Qian. According to the information I heard, old man Qian will pass by Handan and stay in Wu'an for a few days. The specific reason is not clear at the moment. It seems that coming to Wu'an is related to Zhong. He has a little grandson.
Then it’s up to you to take advantage of the opportunity.”
In order to wait for this old man named Gan to come, Brother Yu and I really spent two days wandering around Wu'an.
I remember there was a park there called Xiling Lake Park. You could row a boat on the lake for five yuan. The boat was very old, but there were a lot of people rowing on it. There were young men and women dating in twos and threes on the shore, and some people paid a fee to take photos.
Brother Yu and I took a photo under a big rock, and now the edges of the photo have turned yellow.
In the photo, Brother Yu put his arm around my shoulders and smiled, showing his neat white teeth. We made memories in Xiling Lake Park.
Finally, after staying in the hospital for several days, on the morning of the fourth day, Mr. Liu sent someone to drive us to a place called Nanguan Street.
Nanguan Street is just a road. At that time, there were all stalls selling things, including food, drink, clothing, and dogs and cats. Judging from the physical condition of the cats and dogs in the cages, I guessed it might be
Dogs stolen from rural areas by dog dealers.
"Xiao Liu, are you sure it's that child?" Liu, the beggar, asked the driver beside him.
The driver leaned out of the window and took a closer look, "Yes, Mr. Liu, that's him."
At the entrance of the Nanguan Street Market, there was a little boy about ten years old squatting next to a cage, using a branch to poke a native dog in the cage.
Mr. Liu said to me: "Go ahead. If you build a good relationship with this kid, you can meet his grandpa. As long as his grandpa likes you, Wu Le will not trouble you again."
I said, why don't you just go to his grandpa? What would you do with a little brat? Besides, Mr. Liu, why is this kid going shopping alone with no bodyguard to watch over him? Isn't his grandpa very awesome?
Mr. Liu said: "Don't worry about that. The older a person gets, the softer their ears become, especially Especially for your grandchildren, this is a shortcut to your survival that I am showing you, go quickly."
I got off the car on the side of the road and walked straight towards the entrance of the market.
"Why did you stab this dog?" I asked.
This little boy of about ten years old was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, and he was very bright. When he heard me talking to him, he rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'd love to."
"Hey, I'm here, where are you?" I pretended to pick up the phone and make a call.
"The game room on the third floor?"
"Fighting Contra? Okay, it's ten yuan a handful. Let's see who is better. After we finish fighting Contra, we'll fight Double Dragon."
After hearing what I said, the little boy's expression changed obviously. After all, no one could resist the temptation of the game console among children at that time.
"Are you going? I'll take you to have some fun?" I put down my phone and said.
"I won't go. Grandpa said he won't let you go far. He will go back for dinner later."
"It's not far, just in front. Let's go play for a while and then go back to eat. No one knows."
He thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, let's go and play for a while.
At the end of Nanguan Street is a department store, which is not as big as the new department store in Yinchuan. After all, this was just a small county-level city at that time.
There is an arcade on the third floor of the department store, which is coin-operated and costs 10 coins per dollar.
Not long after I put in the coins and played, I became familiar with this guy.
"Let me eat the laser bullets! Give them to me! You eat the shotguns!"
"Died, died again, it's all your fault."
"It's okay, there are still coins, let's have another one."
After playing in the game room for a while, he said that I had to go back to eat and do my homework in the afternoon. Let's play in the evening.
"Your grandfather doesn't care about you? Where are your parents?" I asked tentatively.
"My grandfather? He is busy working on his broken clock. As long as I don't run away, he doesn't care about me at all."
He lives in the Blue Sky Hotel, and I made an agreement with him that in the evening
After dinner, we went to the game room to play games.
This kid's name is Qian Long, and he is now over 20 years old. This kind of person is considered the real rich third generation.
His grandfather was one of the senior figures of the Changchun Society in the 1980s, and was from the same era as Xie Qirong. I don’t know his grandfather’s real name, but people of the older generation call him Ganba.
It's Gan Ba, not Godfather. This man is the inheritor of Earthly Support Cannon Boxing.
At about seven o'clock that night, it was dark and very cold. Qian Longlong, who was only ten years old, and I met under the department store. Because I took him to play games and buy food, he started calling me Brother Feng.
At 10:30, we came out of the game hall. He wanted to go back to the Blue Sky Hotel, which was not far away. I went to take him back.
There is still more than a month to celebrate the New Year, and people here on Nanguan Street have already started selling Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers.
At that time, no one was in charge of setting up stalls to sell firecrackers. The popular firecrackers here in Handan include two-shot, rub-fire, drop-fire, drop-core, two-kick, and flag fire.
"Do you want to buy it, kids?" The stall owner called Qian Longlong.
Qianlonglong's eyes rolled around and he said, "What cannon is the most powerful?"
"Hey, then you've found the right place," the stall owner secretly took out a plate of firecrackers from under the stool and said, "This thing is called a ground mouse. You will know how powerful it is when you put it in."
At this time, an older child on the roadside bought a flag fire, lit it in his hand, and let go.
"Awesome!" The flying sky exploded.
Qian Longlong felt itchy when he saw others firing cannons, so he said he would buy this gopher. After saying that, he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and paid for it. He also bought two boxes of a kind of rubbish cannon called Hei Laoda.
He walked forward with the cannon, and I asked you to release it wherever you go, but don’t release it on the road because there are cars.
Qianlong tugged on my clothes, smiled and pointed to the public toilet across the road.
He pulled me to the door of the women's restroom, struck it hard like a match, and threw it into the women's restroom after it started to smoke.
"Snapped!"
A scream came, which scared me and I immediately hid aside.
This guy is so bad. I said you can't do this, but he said let's go blow up the men's room.
Because I had something to ask for, I had to coax the kid. I said yes and went to blow up the men's room. Place.
There are no lights in this public restroom. The men's restroom is dark and empty, and there are unknown traces of water on the ground covered with ice. The ice is yellow in color.
The gopher lead was very long. He held it in his hand and lit it. After taking two steps, he raised his hand and threw it into the pit.
I thought the ground mice were just ordinary firecrackers coiled up, but when I lit them I realized they were not the same thing at all!
Scared to the point of peeing!
Crackling!
Countless fire rods of various colors were flying around and flying out of the latrine, like mice, so I subconsciously ran out.
He also ran outside, but before he could take a step, he fell directly into the pit because of his small size and the ice on the ground.
You all know the pitfalls of public toilets, right?
There was a very smooth slope in the pit, and Qianlonglong slid down the slope in the pit.
He shouted for help, but the rats were still scurrying around. I quickly ran over, grabbed him, pulled him up, and dragged him out of the public toilet.
When I came out and saw it, I almost vomited.
Qian Longlong was originally clean in new cotton clothes, but now his whole body is covered with toilet paper.
There are also strips, lumps, and sticky things everywhere, and the stench is overwhelming.
He sat on the ground, crying and picking toilet paper off his clothes.
"Fuck! Don't throw it on me. Come on, walk on. Go back and take a shower as soon as possible."
After leading him into the Blue Sky Hotel, the security guards at the door covered their noses and ran away, saying that he had fallen into a manhole or something.
I'm right, I just fell into a trap.
I took the stairs to the third floor and followed the instructions he gave me and rang the door of room 302.
"Ding dong"
"coming."
The door opened and I saw a middle-aged woman who seemed to be well-educated, probably about forty years old.
