When talking about snitches, everyone will definitely think of several representative figures in legends. One is "Flea on the Drum" Shi Qian, one is "Sai Maosui" Yang Xiangwu, and the other is probably "Swallow" Li San.
Judging from their commonalities, just by the fact that these few people are all extraordinary heroes with unparalleled martial arts skills and flying over walls and walls, we can know how high the people's evaluation of "Snitch" is.
But some people may say that these people are all made-up characters in the story, so how can they be counted?
Okay, let’s talk about the actual situation.
In fact, if you want to be a "successful" "snitch", you need to master far more skills than these "famous people". Maybe martial arts may not be very strong, but from "stepping on the plate" to "breaking into the house"
”, “finding things”, “responding” to “retreating” every step requires mastering unique secrets.
Moreover, these skills not only require hard work and hard training, but also require spirituality. Because they widely involve physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, even psychology and ergonomics, they are highly scientific. So if not
The best among people cannot "fly" at all.
Let's give a specific example. Take Hong Yanwu's plan to break into the house from the roof. This is called "picking the skylight" in the jargon, and it is often a method of stealing that is only used by "snitches" who are less capable.
The specific steps are that the thief must first go up to the house, then lift off the tiles and beams, make a hole in the roof, and then drag the rope down to steal things inside. And before leaving, the skylight must be plastered.
Only when the outsiders can't see any traces can it be considered complete.
Even though it is such a simple job, it involves a lot of technical requirements. It is said that thieves who engage in this kind of "out of the sky" business must practice a kind of lightening technique. In addition to being useful when going to and from the house, it is also useful in the end.
The key is to operate silently on the roof.
Moreover, in the past, most of the ceilings of bungalows were made of Korean paper by shed builders. For ordinary people without such skills, a hole would appear when one stepped on it, and it would be fine if it did not fall off, so there would be no room for theft.
In addition, more skilled "snitches" must also practice a "bone-shrinking and bending technique". The training requirements of this kind of kung fu are naturally higher. First, a mat must be rolled into a pot lid, like a tea tray.
Thick and thin, and then put it on the table. If people want to stand far away and jump, they have to get into the mat tube.
But even if you have practiced to this level, you have only practiced halfway, and then you still have to practice to go back. If you really want to practice the whole set, you still have to use two hands to support it.
You need to first go back, then use two legs to get into the mat tube, and then put it back through again. Once you master this skill, you can get into the house through the window and chimney, and you can do it in the blink of an eye.
Why, some people don’t believe it and say they blew it?
Let's take an example. In 1988, a high-end clothing store in Wangfujing was robbed by "snitches". When investigating the scene, the police were very puzzled that they could not find the criminal's way of entry. In fact, at that time
The thief's stealing technique was to pry open the exhaust fan and then use this contortion technique to get in through the exhaust vent.
It should be clear at this point, is it easy to be a "snitch"? Not only do you have to have good skills, but you also have to at least understand the structure of the house and plan the way in and out.
But Hong Yanwu, this kid, was purely "silly and bold" with neither professional skills nor professional knowledge. He was just running around in a daze. Therefore, he soon encountered a huge problem.
It turned out that when he took off a few tiles at the back of the house and removed a layer of waterproof linoleum and a waterproof layer of soft mud mixed with straw, he discovered that there was a dense layer of house beneath these things.
As for the rafters, there was only a twenty centimeter gap between the wooden rafters, so he couldn't get in at all.
It was impossible for this kid not to rub the fire. How could he waste his efforts after finally getting into the house? So he opened dozens more tiles to serve as tiles, but what he didn't expect was that under the roof tiles,
It's like this everywhere.
Hong Yanwu brought nothing but the rope, and he couldn't move it or pry it. In this case, he couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed, and he couldn't help but give up. But he couldn't help it.
He then thought again, what would Chang Xianzhang do if he just left like this? It seemed a little unreasonable.
So, in this contradiction between wanting to be a hero and fearing hardship, he repeatedly fought in his mind, and finally made a decision to choose between the two based on the actual situation.
In order to satisfy his conscience, he would lift up all the tiles on the back wall of the command room and take a look. If everything was the same, then it would be okay and he could just leave it at that.
Maybe God is also pitying Chang Xianzhang for suffering for no reason. In short, after Hong Yanwu lifted the roof tiles in the right corner, a great thing happened. It turned out that there was one missing rafter. Don't look at it.
There is only a distance of less than 60 centimeters, but it is very easy for a child of his age to get in.
So overjoyed, Hong Yanwu tied the hemp rope around his waist, then found a strong beam to wrap the hemp rope around, then grabbed one end of the rope with his right hand and drilled it into the ridge. Needless to say, he
This is an insurance measure for yourself to prevent the ceiling from sinking.
The next thing was naturally much easier. Hong Yanwu took advantage of the skylight and vaguely discovered that the skylight on the roof was less than two meters away. Then, he crawled forward and climbed over, reaching out and opening the roof.
Skylight, finally, he used both hands to hold on to the hemp rope wrapped around the wooden beam to hang himself down, and landed firmly on the ground.
Not to mention, the whole process from entering the roof to landing on the ground only took more than ten minutes, and it was surprisingly smooth. In the end, Hong Yanwu not only got the pictorial safely, but also just like what was written in "Water Margin"
There was not even the slightest sound of him landing. And the finishing work was not a problem. At this time, you only need to pull the hemp rope from the beam, then open the window from the inside and climb out. The only shortcoming is that he is glued on.
Covered in dirt, dust and cobwebs.
But when it comes to this, we have to be honest. In fact, Hong Yanwu is extremely lucky today. Because, apart from the fact that the rafter matter was an accident of luck, there are at least three other reasons why he was able to achieve this point.
It was also a pure fluke.
First, when demolishing bricks and tiles, Hong Yanwu's actions were not small. In other words, he was hiding behind the ridge of the roof, so no one on the playground could see him. In addition, it was soon time for class, so this kid just
No one has discovered it.
Second, Hong Yanwu was even more lucky that he didn't fall off when he was crawling on the ceiling. Because the ceilings at that time were made of straw and reed foil, and their load-bearing capacity was very poor. It was probably because the skylights were very close together, and this guy
He was as skinny as a stick, and his crawling posture was low, which meant he was able to bear less weight so no accident occurred.
Third, Hong Yanwu’s safety measure for grabbing the hemp rope around the beam is also nonsense, because he himself did not wear gloves at all. If an accident occurred, the sudden friction would force him to let go. So, this
It's just his own whim.
It's just that these problems did not happen after all, so in Hong Yanwu's view at the time, he did an exceptionally good job, so he didn't even care about the dirt he got himself into.
And just after he threw the pictorial into the stove in the room and set it on fire, out of an uncontrollable sense of pride, and completely regardless of whether the surrounding environment was suitable, the boy even struck a "monkey scratching his ears" pose and shook his head while reciting:
I heard the Nian Bai from the Peking Opera "Shi Qian Stealing Armor" from Chang Xianzhang.
"I'm a good thief. It's really good to be a robber when a cock crows and a dog steals. I fly over eaves and walk over walls as fast as a god. I dig into walls. It's really clever. I don't know the ghosts when I break into a house. It's hard to know who's stealing the cage. My official title is "Zhonglang", and my nickname is "Gu".
There are fleas..."
In this way, Hong Yanwu took great risks and achieved unbelievable success. This special experience of "stealing books from the sky" will remain forever as the proudest secret in his life.
in his memory.
Even many years later, when the VCD of "Mission: Impossible" had just entered the mainland, an acquaintance told Hong Yanwu how amazing the scene in the movie "Mission: Impossible" was when Tom Cruise was hanging on a wire to steal secrets.
Unexpectedly, his reaction was just a nonchalant smile, and then he told the other person shockingly, "Foreign devils actually don't have any imagination. They are all leftover from my play when I was nine years old."
