"Stealing the pot? I'm going to call it a day and go back to cooking. Please come back after four o'clock in the afternoon."
I said, "I'm not going to steal the pot, but I have something to ask you for help."
"oh?"
He held a cigarette in his mouth and asked: "Why are you looking for me if you don't steal the pot? What's the matter?"
"Brother Lao Ka, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
When I walked to the roadside where there was no one around, I handed over a cigarette and said, "I want to cut something underwater. How about 30,000 yuan."
He was stunned.
"I'm just a pot thief. I don't know how to cut anything. Little brother, you have found the wrong person." After saying this, he turned around and went back.
"etc."
"Lao Ka, you have done this kind of work, more than once. Sun Liantian is my eldest brother, and my name is Wang Xiansheng. You should have heard of it, how about fifty thousand."
He turned his head, yawned, and said with a smile: "Then you should know that I quit working in five or six years."
As he spoke, he first looked at the woman who was following him to steal the pot, then he came close to me and whispered: "I need more money."
"Sixty thousand."
"One hundred thousand."
"Money first, need it now."
I shook my head: "I will pay you 50,000 yuan first, and then you will pay 50,000 yuan when the matter is completed."
"Then I can't do this job, little brother, go find someone else."
Seeing that he was about to leave, I thought: "Okay, I will withdraw the money now, and you can follow me at noon."
He glanced at me, called to the woman who was crushing the can, and made a series of gestures to him.
The woman immediately showed him some sign language.
I couldn't understand what they were talking about, and then I realized that this woman couldn't speak and was mute.
As agreed, I first went to the bank to transfer money to my old card, then took their three-wheel drive home at noon and had dinner at their house.
While the mute girl was clearing away the dishes, I asked if I could leave in the afternoon. I had oxygen, acetylene, and a cutting gun there, so it was urgent.
He asked: "How deep is the water?"
I said about ten meters, maybe more than twenty meters.
He shook his head: "That won't work. Acetylene is sensitive to pressure. I don't dare to use it in water deeper than five meters. I need to use a special hydrogen-oxygen mixing bottle, and the air belt needs special treatment, waxing and sealing glue. You can't use it."
That air band.”
"You wait this afternoon while I prepare the necessary things. If it's quick, I'll be back before dinner."
I said yes, then you should do it as soon as possible.
"Daddy daddy!"
Suddenly a little girl ran in from outside the hospital. She was seven or eight years old. She had a ponytail and was wearing a red floral cotton-padded jacket. She had a chubby face and was very cute.
Lao Ka picked up the little girl and laughed and said, "Why didn't you do your homework and ran in again?"
The little girl clapped her hands and said, "I've finished writing, I want to watch TV."
Lao Ka pinched the little girl's nose and said dotingly: "Okay, daddy will show you the TV."
