I left Gudixi Village overnight, walked out of the village barefoot, stopped a three-carriage at dawn, and asked someone to take me to the bus station in the town.
I bought a pair of cotton slippers on the way and listened to the conversations of others while I was paying.
"Hey, Lao Wang, have you heard what happened the day before yesterday? The father and daughter from the chicken farm suddenly disappeared. It seems that they were finally found in the mountains, frozen to death."
"I know, I know, I've heard about it too. I heard from the villagers that Huang Pizi was offended. Otherwise, why would he go into the mountains to die in the heavy snow at night? Stop talking about this. It's unlucky to celebrate the New Year."
Listening to other people's conversations, I knew that some people should have done something to deal with the aftermath.
When we returned to Xianyang, Xiaoxuan and the others were extremely anxious. When they saw me standing at the door in embarrassment, Xiaoxuan hugged me with red eyes and said nothing.
"Okay, it's okay. I'm back now, right?" I smiled and patted Xiaoxuan's back.
Dou Sprout also ran over, his face a little remorseful.
"Fengzi blames me! I'm the one who got the upper hand! Just slap me twice, I will never fight back!"
"It's all your fault!"
Xiaoxuan angrily kicked Dou Sprouts, but Dou Sprouts didn't hide.
"Yunfeng, come in." He shouted from inside the room.
"Then I'll go in and talk to you when I come out."
Pushing the door open and entering the house, a stick of incense was lit and a hot tea cup was held in both hands.
"sit."
After sitting down, I explained the cause and effect of the incident, listened, and then gently put down the teacup.
He turned his head, looked at me with meaningful eyes and said, "Do you know about the boss?"
I didn't ask because I knew that the boss also knew about it. Since he didn't tell me, he should have considered it.
"Yunfeng, do you believe me?"
I nodded, "Of course I trust you."
He raised his head and sighed: "Hey... don't ask, maybe we shouldn't have gone to Shunde in the first place, but there is no regret medicine in the world. The boss's decision was approved by me, and that was the path they chose."
The room fell into silence until the tea became cold.
"Okay, don't mention these unhappy things."
He turned his head and said with a smile: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and we can't do it with nothing in our pockets. Our transaction with Boss Qian continues. They have already inspected the goods and have initially set a price."
"See? How many?"
He made a "nine" sign with his head.
"Isn't the price a bit low? That's all our inventory."
He shook his head and chuckled: "It's not low. I heard that it is different from the actual price. Things like the physical Buddha will never be auctioned, and it is extremely difficult to realize them. This time, thanks to Tian Sanjiu, he bought the cultural relics from northern Shaanxi
Some difficult people in the bureau were lured to Zhejiang, so we were able to get rid of them so easily."
"The money should arrive in two days, Yunfeng, tomorrow afternoon, you can help Boss Qian load the car."
The next afternoon, I was sitting on the sofa applying frostbite ointment to my feet when I suddenly heard an electronic speaker shouting from downstairs of the hotel.
"Collect scrap copper and iron, collect stainless steel pots and basins, collect scrap computers and scrap mobile phones..."
Putting on my shoes, I hurried downstairs.
"A scrap collector, how much does a pound of iron cost?"
"A dime."
"Where's copper? How much does it cost per pound?"
"For copper, the price depends on the quality."
After saying this, the scrap collector took off his hat. It was the person he met at the disco before.
Boss Qian didn't know about my arrest because he didn't tell me. This kind of person is very smart because he knows that Boss Qian likes his subordinates to be "steady" in their work.
