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 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?"
"One 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.
The Passat was driven away. I don’t know how he deceived Boss Qian. Anyway, cats have their own ways and mice have their own ways.
I deliberately didn’t mention what happened that day. I just pretended to be meeting for the first time and said with a smile: “Then come up. I happen to have some scrap metal in the house that I need to dispose of. I’ll give you enough to weigh.”
He took the steel scale from the broken gold cup, shook it and said, "Don't worry, we won't be short-changed in doing business, it will be as much as it needs to be."
After going upstairs, I wrapped the Iron Buddha tightly with sheets and tied it with a rope. Then I looked at my phone and nodded to me.
I called out to Brother Yu, Bean Sprouts, and then the four of us who were the "rag collectors" carried the things down the stairs.
"Hey, young man, what are you selling? It looks weird." asked the lady selling breakfast on the first floor.
"Hey, it's just a broken washing machine. If it breaks, sell it."
"Be careful, raise your head higher."
We carried the iron Buddha to the innermost part, and then we ran up and down several times to put everything into the broken gold cup.
"boom."
He closed the door, put away the tatters, and took out a wad of change from his pocket and said, "Check it out, these total 60 yuan."
I said give me more. I'll help you move downstairs. I'll give you three yuan more.
"Okay, 63 then. There are some unwanted scraps that are calling me."
I casually put the money in my trouser pocket and patted it.
The Broken Cup started and drove away with black smoke.
The head disappeared for one day, and the next night we all received payment text messages on several of our mobile phones.
"Damn it! Fengzi, how much do you have? Let me see." Bean sprouts hurried over to me and asked.
I closed the phone and said, "Go away, you don't care how much I have, just divide it into as many heads as you want."
"It's here, it's here, I have mine too," Xiaoxuan lay on the sofa and looked at her phone.
"Brother Yu! Do you have it?" I shouted loudly.
Brother Yu was squatting in the toilet, and he loudly replied: "Yes!"
"Xiaoxuan, how many do you have? Let me take a look," Dou Sprout ran over again.
"Get away!" Xiaoxuan kicked the bean sprouts away with her bare feet.
At this moment, I casually picked up the mobile phone that Dou Sprout placed on the table and looked at it.
"Fuck! Don't look at mine!" Dou Sprout came over and grabbed it again.
I raised my phone high, glanced sideways at the row of 0000 on the text message, and cursed: "Damn it, when did you save so much? It's much more than I thought. Damn it, go buy a car."
Slice."
I don't know anything else, I just know that Dou Sprout was richer than Brother Ma at that time.
I looked through his mobile phone text messages, and almost all of them contained payment information. They were only incoming and outgoing. I really didn’t see a single payment information.
Brother Yu taught me how to drive in those days, and I went to get a driver's license. I didn't buy a car key, because firstly I didn't find the right one, and secondly, I didn't know where to go for activities after the New Year, so I went to the bank to call my aunt Mohe's house.
I paid them 50,000 yuan, and I asked them to keep 10,000 yuan for themselves, and give the rest to my grandma, who would also help take care of it.
My eldest uncle kept praising me on the phone for being promising, sensible, and knowing how to respect my elders.
When I heard this sentence, my nose felt a little sour and my heart felt mixed.
I remembered the night I left Mohe in winter, when it was more than ten degrees below zero, and I sat alone on a stone for three hours.
And now, it's winter again,
No one will sympathize with me, I can only rely on myself.
Isn't Jinling like a thing in the pond? Once you go to the tomb, you will have money.
I plan to expand the business scope of our team next year and buy some imported professional equipment to improve work efficiency. Brother Yu has already earned enough money to open a martial arts gym. I have to find a way to keep him because of this Tie Buddha incident.
Without Brother Yu, we would not have been able to succeed so easily.
Wenbin, the fish that refines the heart of the mortal world, cannot let him go.
