Chapter 32 Section 31
In the summer of that year, Yang Chi came to Huashui County again.
From the winter of 1996 until now, Yang Chi calculated that he had stayed in Huaishui County for a total of 22 days, five times back and forth.Except for Lu Xiaolu who asked for 50,000 yuan in cash when he accompanied him, all of them returned empty-handed.But this time, even summoning the beast Lu Xiaolu could never help him.
At that time, he was already an experienced pesticide dealer. At least, he had seen women who died after drinking pesticide.Daicheng's Longyang brand of pesticides will kill you if you drink them, and no one will live. He also knows that the dead will become ferocious due to violent muscle twitching. Once you see it, you will always have nightmares.Carrying his own black canvas bag, he wandered around China.The county towns are all similar. There are various trains, minibuses and tractors between the county towns. Each county town speaks their local dialect, most of which are incomprehensible, so there is not much difference.If he walked out of the ancient city gate in Huaishui County and went to the countryside, he would know nothing.The vast countryside is lovely, but the young pesticide salesman just wants to stay in the inn to catch his breath, like a failed poet.
On the day I went to Huashui County, the rain came and went, and some fields had turned into huge ponds, but some seemed to be able to survive.The rivers and rivers that pass by are rushing to the distance screaming like innocent souls.In Huaishui County, someone took a ride, and the driver stopped to let them up.I heard that the big river to the west is already in danger, and the neighboring counties released floods, evacuating countless people.
"It will be fine. The river is very wide in this area, and the peak of the flood can pass." On the long-distance bus, the driver said so.
An old man told Yang Chi: "It's not that easy. I'm a party member. Every year at this season, small cadres have to go to the embankment."
"The embankment." Yang Chi said, "Small cadres still have to do this?"
"Small cadres don't go, so let the big leaders go?" The old man said, "Stay on the embankment day and night to see if there are any pipes or leaks. Sometimes it suddenly collapses and one of them is swept away."
"What if we don't go?"
"Punishment, and don't even think about promotion." The old man said, "If there is a danger, it is our rule here that party members go up. Anyone who can make a fool of himself will roll over on the embankment. Speaking of it, I always keep my head in place." What do the masses know when they come with their trouser belts on? If something goes wrong, they will know how to run away."
A crowd interrupted and said: "Don't say that, I'm also from Huaishui County. Few cadres have died on the embankment for so many years, and all of them have been rated as martyrs. Their families have settled down. The masses died in various ways. , you don’t know. The heads of the masses are also on your waistband. Beat your mother.”
The two men fought.Yang Chi felt noisy, so he sat in the last row of the car, opened the window, let the wind blow in, and the rain rushed in together.He thought about many things facing the car window, but there was no reason for it.When I arrived at the county seat at dusk, I felt more depressed than before, and people couldn't see it much.
He stayed at the hotel, and Zhu Kang was already waiting for him.Zhu Kang said happily: "There will be a flood soon."
Yang Chi didn't want to talk to him, he just said, "There's nothing to be happy about flooding."
The two went to the company to collect debts, walked along the path, and found the widow accountant alone at the door of the company.Yang Chi said, "We're here again."
The widow accountant said: "The boss is not here, even if he is, there is no money for you. This year, the pesticides are at a loss, and the crops are gone."
Zhu Kang bluffed and said, "If you can't pay, Yang Chi will have to sleep on the floor of your company."
The widow accountant didn't find Zhu Kang humorous at all, and said with a sneer, "Sleep, but this time I can only sleep at the door, because I have to leave tomorrow. There is going to be a flood here." Then she said to Yang Chi: "I advise you to leave early, too."
The widow accountant has always been very polite, sometimes she pretended to be pitiful, but this time she became strict.Yang Chi and Zhu Kang had no choice but to return to the hotel.Zhu Kang said: "Don't believe her. Even if there is a flood, a few villages will be submerged at most. The county town is still far away from the river embankment. Tomorrow you make a petrol bomb to scare her." Yang Chi ignored him, feeling a little Sleepy, I ate something, rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.
That night Yang Chi dreamed of many people, Dai Dai, Senior Sister Shaoxing, Minister Bao and Zhu Kang, each talking to him in the dream, which made him very tired.When I woke up, I saw that it was only ten o'clock at night, and Zhu Kang, who was in the same room, had gone somewhere.There was a lot of movement outside, and it seemed that a large truck drove by on the street.Yang Chi washed his face, feeling uneasy, went out to have a look, the dark street was brightly illuminated by the high beams of trucks, the rain in the sky seemed to be fighting, and the atmosphere became tense.Some black figures ran and appeared in the light, and then entered the darkness, car horns and people chanting while carrying heavy objects were intertwined.
"It's like a war." Yang Chi returned to the hotel and said worriedly to the cashier.
"It's like this every year, and it will be fine in a few days." The waiter yawned, and his hair was blown into a mess by the electric fan.
Yang Chi returned to the room and waited for a while, but Zhu Kang still didn't come back.Yang Chi thought, Zhu Kang, that bastard, what are you doing out in this weather? Is he looking for death?He is indeed a person who often takes the initiative to seek death.
In Yang Chi's career as a salesman, there was an experience that was unforgettable. That time, the six of them were going to other provinces to do a big business in the van of the factory. There was a problem with the car on the way, and it was delayed for several hours. It was dark before arriving at the county town.The car was driving on the road, surrounded by trees and weeds. Yang Chi sat in the passenger seat and fell asleep. Occasionally, a small black animal crossed the road in the place illuminated by the headlights, which woke him up a little.At a corner, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes, and all the people in the car jumped up.Yang Chi felt that he was pushed towards the windshield by a soft and definite force, and his whole face was stuck to it.When everyone fell back into their seats, the driver said in a trembling voice, "There is a log ahead." It was a tree trunk at all, and it lay silently across the middle of the road. In the dark night, if a car hit it, it would fly straight out.This kind of tree trunk does not appear on the road for no reason, it usually means that there are robbers nearby.The colleague behind said loudly: "Roll up the window, hurry up." The car stopped on the dark road, rolled up the windows and turned on all the lights.It was very quiet outside, and it seemed that no other cars would pass by.The people in the car discussed whether to go down and lift the tree trunk away, or stay in the car and wait for dawn.At that time, none of them had mobile phones and could not call the police.One salesman said firmly: "You can't get out of the car, whoever gets out of the car will die!" Another person said: "Turn around, go back." At that time, it was Zhu Kang, an idiot, who said nonchalantly, "We will arrive at the county seat in half an hour, and we will have to drive all night to turn around. Besides, how do you know that there is no wooden stake blocking the back when you turn around?" Others Said: "Then wait in the car." Zhu Kang said: "We have seven men including the driver, don't be afraid. Two or three gangsters can't beat us." Yang Chi said, "What if there are many people outside?" "Do you think there are many people outside?" Zhu Kang pointed to the silent road, opened the car door and jumped off, lifting the tree trunk, "I can move it by myself, you don't need to get down." Yang Chi heard a salesman behind him say in a regretful and desperate tone, "This old idiot." Suddenly, Zhu Kang was pushed to the ground, and dense figures came out from under the roadbed and surrounded the van.Yang Chi saw a woman in front of the windshield, she was the image of a poor rural woman, with disheveled hair, a rough red scarf wrapped around her neck, and a three or four-year-old child in her arms.The woman lifted the child up, as if it was a New Year picture to be pasted on the car window.The child's head was as big as a bucket, his eyes were rolled and his mouth was crooked, sticking out his terrifying tongue to Yang Chi in respect.This is a mentally retarded child with cerebral palsy. In the dark corridor of the medical school, Lu Xiaojuan once brought the human in the bottle that he admired.Yang Chi stood up in horror, almost hitting his head on the roof of the car.The woman knew that he was afraid, and she smiled sadly, obsequiously, and threateningly.People from the whole village, men, women, young and old, strong and not, stupid and not, all appeared on the road. That time, all the money in their pockets was taken from them. Fortunately, everyone was a sensible person, and they didn't bring much cash, let alone gold and silver, so the loss was controlled within an acceptable range.Afterwards, no one could tell whether it was begging or robbery.The car continued to drive, and they were all silent, hearing the sound of Zhu Kang's teeth chattering.Finally someone couldn't help but say: "Zhu Kang, do you know how powerful you are now? Learn to be smarter in the future." Zhu Kang nodded tremblingly.But Yang Chi felt that the retarded face he saw on the road had already been placed on Zhu Kang's head.Zhu Kang is a cerebral palsy plus mildew star, sad and flattering, he thinks he is humorous, the kind of bastard who can kill people at any time.
Early the next morning, someone called the hotel to find Yang Chi.Yang Chi ran to the reception desk in a daze to answer the phone. A woman's voice said, "Your colleague is in our hands. He owes us some money. Use the money to replace him." Yang Chi was not surprised at all, he woke up and said, "You let me listen to Zhu Kang's voice." Immediately, Zhu Kang's hoarse voice came from the other side: "Xiao Yang, don't call the police. If you call the police, I will die Don’t tell the factory. They don’t want much, fifty thousand is enough.” Yang Chi said, "How much fifty thousand do you think you are worth? I didn't bring any money, so I had to go back to the factory to ask for money." Zhu Kang hurriedly shouted, "No, if you call back and forth to the factory, I'm already dead. Also, the factory will not give me this money, and the factory will definitely call the police. You go to the company that owes you 50,000 yuan, and you need to pay it back to me first, and I will fill it back when I return to Daicheng." Yang Chi gloated and said: "I've never heard of this kind of kidnapping. Why don't they want a ransom of 10 million? You can't get it anyway." Zhu Kang said, "It's very complicated—ah!" Obviously he was beaten, and then the phone hung up. . Yang Chi couldn't afford 50,000 yuan, he only brought 1,000 yuan, and there was more than 10,000 yuan in the bank card, which was all his belongings.According to Zhu Kang's suggestion, he could only go to the widow's accountant to try his luck, hung up the phone and walked over to see that the company's door was closed, and they all left.Yang Chi stood on the road and thought for a while, then went to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan. When he went out, he was afraid of being robbed, so he rushed to the hotel with his bag. At noon the call came again.Yang Chi said that he didn't ask for 50,000 yuan, only 10,000 yuan.Naturally, a place like Huashui County can't produce professional kidnappers, both of them learned from police and gangster movies.There is a "Ransom Storm" starring Mel Gibson. I have watched it many times, and I know that the competition is psychological.Yang Chi said: "The ten thousand is still my personal savings. If I want it again, I have to go to the factory, and the factory will call the police. Understand?" The phone hesitated, and said stubbornly: "Zhu Kang owe us fifty thousand." Yang Chi said: "You still don't understand. If you are a creditor, whether it is gambling debts, prostitution, or IOUs you wrote in his head, his wife should come and return the money to you. If you are a kidnapper, you must pay now." For the ransom, yes, no problem, but I only have 10,000 here." The woman said: "Then you bring ten thousand yuan here, at five o'clock, behind the movie theater in the county seat." Yang Chi said: "You have to bring someone here too." Five thousand. Yang Chi went back to the room and counted the money, and it was correct.Half lying on the bed and smoking a cigarette, I thought it was not worth taking risks for Zhu Kang, a humble man, but it seemed that there was no better way, Zhu Kang would die if the money was not sent over.Then I thought, damn it, it’s really not a good idea to kidnap the pesticide salesman. There are so many local bosses who are all meat dogs. I have to teach these kidnappers next time. Pesticide salesmen have no money.It is unbelievable that the kidnappers still have women. How could Yang Chi have guessed that Zhu Kang was sent to be a meat dog.Zhu Kang played in a dilapidated nightclub in the county town the night before. He had been to that place several times, and he thought he was familiar with it, and nothing would happen.The two women sat on Zhu Kang's lap and twisted for a while. Zhu Kang gave them ten yuan each.This is where the big money comes in.Played around and didn't go whoring. It was raining heavily outside and it was very noisy.Zhu Kang felt that the night was not peaceful, so he drank a cup of Coke, got up, paid the bill and left. When he went downstairs, he suddenly felt dizzy and was held up by two people. After walking for a while, he dragged him into a room, and fell asleep right after him .When I woke up, I found that my hands and feet were bound and my mouth was gagged. I was in a warm house with a single bed, a dressing table, posters of Wen Bixia and Andy Lau on the wall, and a telephone on the coffee table. I guess it was a nightclub girl. bedroom, but there is still a sickle next to the telephone.When the cloth from his mouth was pulled out, the first thing he said was: My colleague has money, don't kill me. Yang Chi didn't know these things at the time, he just thought that the noble profession of pesticide salesman seemed impossible to continue, and he didn't want to work with bastards like Zhu Kang or Minister Bao anymore.Walking to the reception desk, I made a long-distance call, but Senior Sister Shaoxing's mobile phone was unavailable, and the rustling sound on the phone seemed to be raining heavily.Yang Chi was a little disappointed, and went back to the room, staring at the 10,000 yuan in cash on the table in a daze. Yang Chi understood that he might die if he went this time. He had seen a lot of gangsters in the county, some of them were cowardly, so basically don't worry about them, and some of them you don't even know how many people he killed.Before meeting Zhu Kang, Yang Chi decided to write a fact sheet, so he found a pen and paper to write down what happened that day so that he would not be confused when he got the chance.Thinking that I still have a lot of savings, should I donate it to the orphanage or Lu Xiaolu? Dai Dai and Xiao Su are going to find a new life, and they don't need his inheritance.It suddenly occurred to me that after this trip, I would never bring the 10,000 yuan back, and the deposit was gone.This bastard Zhu Kang is really deceiving people.So he wrote viciously: My 10,000 yuan, even if he died, Zhu Kang's family must return it to my father. After writing this, I packed an envelope and deposited it together with my luggage at the check-in counter, and said to the counter clerk: If I don’t come back tonight, you can hand over the letter to the police, and please do please.The waiter looked at him affectionately, solemnly agreed to come down, and forgot about it at night. Yang Chi was lying on the bed. As a science student, he had to imagine many possibilities.The worst thing was that he and Zhu Kang were killed together, and the best thing was that he came back with Zhu Kang.But he doesn't understand psychology very well, he doesn't know how to calm down the kidnappers, and he doesn't know if the kidnappers are moral. (Lu Xiaolu said that it is better to expect the kidnappers to be faithful than to expect chastity from the prostitutes.) After thinking about it, the only way is to make the kidnappers feel that he can no longer give half a dime.In addition, he has to prevent Zhu Kang from being killed in advance. This idiot often does some unreasonable things, such as seeing the kidnapper's face. In a police movie, such a person will undoubtedly die.Yang Chi thought, if Zhu Kang really died, it would be his life, but Yang Chi couldn't pay 10,000 yuan for a corpse, and the corpse would not pay back the debt. At one point, he felt that Zhu Kang was really annoying, and he couldn't explain why he took risks for this person.If the person who was kidnapped was Lu Xiaolu, he would naturally be obliged to do so, but who would kidnap Lu Xiaolu, a bastard?Later, he thought that he should be worthy of his conscience in doing things. He even took the risk of getting an electric shock to catch up with Minister Bao, so there was nothing to complain about.Thinking that Zhu Kang was kidnapped and seemed to be in the hands of the female kidnapper, he laughed for a while.Then the call came again. "Why haven't you come out yet?" It was still that woman. "Five o'clock." Yang Chi looked at the clock, it was half past four.There was an "oh" over there.Yang Chi said again: "I want to hear Zhu Kang's voice." The woman said: "I'm using a public phone now. Zhu Kang told you to come here early." Yang Chi said: "Fuck Zhu Kang." Hang up the phone Back in the room, I counted the money again, put it in an envelope, and put the envelope into a plastic bag, which was the least conspicuous.He tied his shoelaces tightly, put the fruit knife on the table into his trouser pocket, suddenly felt anxious, went to the toilet, and walked out of the hotel with a plastic bag. The movie theater in Huaishui County was completely abandoned by the end of the 1990s.This is a house made of red bricks, the most common old Soviet building, which looks like a workshop from a distance, but looks a bit like an English villa when viewed up close.The drizzle fell on the ground, and the drainage system in this area seemed to have failed. Water accumulated on both sides of the street, and black oil stains and cinders appeared.There was no one around, and straw was piled under the corridor at the entrance of the cinema. Yang Chi stood there, a little confused.I didn't ask whether the place to pay the money was "behind the cinema" or "in the back of the cinema".At this time, a woman came over and whispered to Yang Chi, "Can't find it? Come with me." Yang Chi thought to himself, is it ignorance or arrogance to call him his elder sister?Not wearing a mask. I followed the woman through a large iron gate next to the movie theater, with a huge asbestos tile ceiling above my head, and an agricultural tricycle parked. After turning a corner, the road narrowed, with a wall on one side and a road on the other. The back door of the cinema.Yang Chi was afraid, and said, "I'm not leaving." The woman whispered, "Here we are." At that moment, Yang Chi saw Zhu Kang. He was packed in a broken burlap sack with his head sticking out, and the mouth of the sack was in front of him. His neck was tied tightly, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, and his whole body was dripping wet. It seemed that he had been waiting in the rain for a long time.Yang Chi couldn't help being happy, Zhu Kang, you have today too.Then, an old farmer came over from under the wall and put a sickle on Zhu Kang's neck. The woman said, "Money." Yang Chi said, "You take out the cloth from his mouth first, I have something to ask him." The woman hesitated for a moment, and pulled out the cloth from Zhu Kang's mouth.Zhu Kang let out a low moan and cried.Yang Chi said: "Don't cry first. I brought the 10,000 yuan, but it's my personal deposit, and you have to pay it back to me when you go back. If you don't pay it back, I'll leave now." Zhu Kang said: "I Pay you back, I'll pay you back, pay you back with interest." Yang Chi said, "They didn't beat you, did they?" Zhu Kang said, "Not much, it's good for me." Yang Chi looked at the woman and the woman. The old peasants, the two looked very restless, impatient already.Yang Chi took out money from the plastic bag, handed it to the woman, and said, "Ten thousand." The woman shivered and stuffed the money into her pocket, forgetting the points.The old farmer was very dissatisfied and said: "It's cheap, we agreed to 50,000." Yang Chi said: "I really don't have so much money anymore, and you are also taking risks. Take the money and leave quickly." The old farmer said: "No, it's best At least 20,000. We are really risky." Yang Chi said: "You don't want to change your mind like this. I will only come if you agree to 10,000. I really have no money. Next time. You can let him go this time. At this time Zhu Kang said: "I can go to the bank to withdraw money for you." The old farmer's eyes lit up.Yang Chi thought to himself, fuck it.Before he could finish his thoughts, his neck tightened, and someone tied him with a rope, pulling his heels off the ground.It turned out that these two kidnappers were not the only ones. Zhu Kang said: "I went to the bank to withdraw money. I have a card, but the card is in my hotel." At this time, Yang Chi had already been tied up, with the cloth head stuffed into his mouth, and fell beside Zhu Kang.The one who tied him with a rope was a black and strong young man. The three kidnappers came together to discuss and said to Zhu Kang, "How much money do you have in your bank card?" Zhu Kang said, "It's only ten thousand." The strong young man said: "If we call the police, we will kill him." Zhu Kang said: "I will definitely not call the police. I will come back after I get the money." The strong black young man said fiercely: "I will go with you!" Kang said, "Okay, okay." If Yang Chi hadn't been gagged, he would have said that this kind of kidnapping is very unprofessional, and within the scope of unprofessional, it doesn't seem serious, at least, the bank is closed after five o'clock, but Good people often forget about it.He will also tell the kidnappers that Zhu Kang is a scumbag, that he never counts when he speaks, and that he will spoil things. This bastard is not even qualified to be a hostage. This group was untied by Zhu Kang, and the black and strong youth escorted them, and the two left in the rain.Before leaving, Zhu Kang turned his head and said affectionately: "Yang Chi, I will come back to redeem you." Yang Chi thought to himself, fuck you, Dong Cunrui was played to death like this.The woman helped Yang Chi up, sat on the ground with his lower body, and leaned his upper body against the wall.Yang Chi shook his head vigorously.The old farmer said: "He's not very honest, let's take him to the car." The two moved Yang Chi to the ceiling, moved him to the back of the agricultural motorcycle, and covered it with a piece of linoleum.Yang Chi didn't struggle anymore, he was afraid of bumping into the scythe, he felt his head and face turned black, and he couldn't see anything. After a while, the strong black youth ran back. "He ran away!" The woman said: "You are really useless, why did you let him run away?" The strong black youth said dejectedly: "He ran away before reaching the bank. I chased him for a while, and he yelled for help. If I keep chasing him, I should follow him into the police station." The old farmer said: "He went to the police, let's run too." When Yang Chi heard the sound of the agricultural motorcycle starting, he trembled and bumped somewhere.He guessed that Zhu Kang would run away, and he was not surprised at all. He hoped that Zhu Kang could go to the police, because the police really needed to be dispatched right now. That day, Zhu Kang ran wildly towards the gate of the police station. Later, he thought that calling the police would probably kill Yang Chi. Although Yang Chi was a jerk, he spent his own money to save him. Zhu Kang had to be righteous.So he ran back to the hotel, took out the wallet from the travel bag, took out the bank card, and suddenly realized that the three kidnappers must have left after he ran away, and the money could not be moved temporarily.Besides, the bank was closed, and even if it was open, he couldn't withdraw 10,000 yuan from his card.There was no idea at both ends, Zhu Kang thought for a while in the hotel and fell asleep.When he woke up at noon the next day, the kidnappers did not call.I should have gone to the back of the cinema to see the situation, but Zhu Kang was so frightened that he couldn't bear the courage.Yang Chi is eloquent, or he may be able to survive under the kidnapper's scythe. The gold medal salesman should have the ability to save himself, just wait for him for a few days.After waiting for another day, Yang Chi didn't come back, and there was no news of the kidnappers. There were rescuers everywhere, and they heard that there was a flood in the village.Zhu Kang called the factory and was very relieved to find that the factory didn't know about the kidnapping.But he didn't intend to tell the factory about it, because he had to mention the part about his going to the nightclub. According to the factory's discipline, the salesman went to the pornographic place without entertaining the customers, which led to the accident. To be dismissed. Zhu Kang thought about all this, fearing that someone would trouble him again, he left the hotel, bought a ticket, and fled back to Daicheng.When they arrived at the pesticide factory, they told a little lie: Yang Chi had gone somewhere, this kid was always conceited, disorganized and undisciplined.The world is in chaos, and people can't imagine that he can be such a scumbag.Zhu Kang took a breath, and a few days later, there was still no news from Yang Chi, and the kidnappers did not call the factory, so the situation was calm.Zhu Kang thought to himself, most likely it was thrown into the river.Shaking his head to let himself forget about this bad luck and the 10,000 yuan owed to Yang Chi, he went to the sales department to ask for a business trip to Xinjiang, and went to the foot of Tianshan Mountain to escape the summer heat.
In Yang Chi's career as a salesman, there was an experience that was unforgettable. That time, the six of them were going to other provinces to do a big business in the van of the factory. There was a problem with the car on the way, and it was delayed for several hours. It was dark before arriving at the county town.The car was driving on the road, surrounded by trees and weeds.

Another person said: "Turn around, go back." At that time, it was Zhu Kang, an idiot, who said nonchalantly, "We will arrive at the county seat in half an hour, and we will have to drive all night to turn around. Besides, how do you know that there is no wooden stake blocking the back when you turn around?" Others Said: "Then wait in the car." Zhu Kang said: "We have seven men including the driver, don't be afraid. Two or three gangsters can't beat us." Yang Chi said, "What if there are many people outside?" "Do you think there are many people outside?" Zhu Kang pointed to the silent road, opened the car door and jumped off, lifting the tree trunk, "I can move it by myself, you don't need to get down." Yang Chi heard a salesman behind him say in a regretful and desperate tone, "This old idiot." Suddenly, Zhu Kang was pushed to the ground, and dense figures came out from under the roadbed and surrounded the van.Yang Chi saw a woman in front of the windshield, she was the image of a poor rural woman, with disheveled hair, a rough red scarf wrapped around her neck, and a three or four-year-old child in her arms.The woman lifted the child up, as if it was a New Year picture to be pasted on the car window.The child's head was as big as a bucket, his eyes were rolled and his mouth was crooked, sticking out his terrifying tongue to Yang Chi in respect.This is a mentally retarded child with cerebral palsy. In the dark corridor of the medical school, Lu Xiaojuan once brought the human in the bottle that he admired.Yang Chi stood up in horror, almost hitting his head on the roof of the car.The woman knew that he was afraid, and she smiled sadly, obsequiously, and threateningly.People from the whole village, men, women, young and old, strong and not, stupid and not, all appeared on the road. That time, all the money in their pockets was taken from them. Fortunately, everyone was a sensible person, and they didn't bring much cash, let alone gold and silver, so the loss was controlled within an acceptable range.Afterwards, no one could tell whether it was begging or robbery.The car continued to drive, and they were all silent, hearing the sound of Zhu Kang's teeth chattering.Finally someone couldn't help but say: "Zhu Kang, do you know how powerful you are now? Learn to be smarter in the future." Zhu Kang nodded tremblingly.But Yang Chi felt that the retarded face he saw on the road had already been placed on Zhu Kang's head.Zhu Kang is a cerebral palsy plus mildew star, sad and flattering, he thinks he is humorous, the kind of bastard who can kill people at any time.
Early the next morning, someone called the hotel to find Yang Chi.Yang Chi ran to the reception desk in a daze to answer the phone. A woman's voice said, "Your colleague is in our hands. He owes us some money. Use the money to replace him." Yang Chi was not surprised at all, he woke up and said, "You let me listen to Zhu Kang's voice." Immediately, Zhu Kang's hoarse voice came from the other side: "Xiao Yang, don't call the police. If you call the police, I will die Don’t tell the factory. They don’t want much, fifty thousand is enough.” Yang Chi said, "How much fifty thousand do you think you are worth? I didn't bring any money, so I had to go back to the factory to ask for money." Zhu Kang hurriedly shouted, "No, if you call back and forth to the factory, I'm already dead. Also, the factory will not give me this money, and the factory will definitely call the police.

Yang Chi gloated and said: "I've never heard of this kind of kidnapping. Why don't they want a ransom of 10 million? You can't get it anyway." Zhu Kang said, "It's very complicated—ah!" Obviously he was beaten, and then the phone hung up. . Yang Chi couldn't afford 50,000 yuan, he only brought 1,000 yuan, and there was more than 10,000 yuan in the bank card, which was all his belongings.According to Zhu Kang's suggestion, he could only go to the widow's accountant to try his luck, hung up the phone and walked over to see that the company's door was closed, and they all left.Yang Chi stood on the road and thought for a while, then went to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan. When he went out, he was afraid of being robbed, so he rushed to the hotel with his bag. At noon the call came again.Yang Chi said that he didn't ask for 50,000 yuan, only 10,000 yuan.Naturally, a place like Huashui County can't produce professional kidnappers, both of them learned from police and gangster movies.There is a "Ransom Storm" starring Mel Gibson. I have watched it many times, and I know that the competition is psychological.Yang Chi said: "The ten thousand is still my personal savings. If I want it again, I have to go to the factory, and the factory will call the police. Understand?" The phone hesitated, and said stubbornly: "Zhu Kang owe us fifty thousand." Yang Chi said: "You still don't understand. If you are a creditor, whether it is gambling debts, prostitution, or IOUs you wrote in his head, his wife should come and return the money to you. If you are a kidnapper, you must pay now." For the ransom, yes, no problem, but I only have 10,000 here." The woman said: "Then you bring ten thousand yuan here, at five o'clock, behind the movie theater in the county seat." Yang Chi said: "You have to bring someone here too." Five thousand. Yang Chi went back to the room and counted the money, and it was correct.Half lying on the bed and smoking a cigarette, I thought it was not worth taking risks for Zhu Kang, a humble man, but it seemed that there was no better way, Zhu Kang would die if the money was not sent over.Then I thought, damn it, it’s really not a good idea to kidnap the pesticide salesman. There are so many local bosses who are all meat dogs. I have to teach these kidnappers next time. Pesticide salesmen have no money.It is unbelievable that the kidnappers still have women. How could Yang Chi have guessed that Zhu Kang was sent to be a meat dog.Zhu Kang played in a dilapidated nightclub in the county town the night before. He had been to that place several times, and he thought he was familiar with it, and nothing would happen.The two women sat on Zhu Kang's lap and twisted for a while. Zhu Kang gave them ten yuan each.This is where the big money comes in.Played around and didn't go whoring. It was raining heavily outside and it was very noisy.Zhu Kang felt that the night was not peaceful, so he drank a cup of Coke, got up, paid the bill and left. When he went downstairs, he suddenly felt dizzy and was held up by two people. After walking for a while, he dragged him into a room, and fell asleep right after him .When I woke up, I found that my hands and feet were bound and my mouth was gagged. I was in a warm house with a single bed, a dressing table, posters of Wen Bixia and Andy Lau on the wall, and a telephone on the coffee table. I guess it was a nightclub girl. bedroom, but there is still a sickle next to the telephone.When the cloth from his mouth was pulled out, the first thing he said was: My colleague has money, don't kill me. Yang Chi didn't know these things at the time, he just thought that the noble profession of pesticide salesman seemed impossible to continue, and he didn't want to work with bastards like Zhu Kang or Minister Bao anymore.Walking to the reception desk, I made a long-distance call, but Senior Sister Shaoxing's mobile phone was unavailable, and the rustling sound on the phone seemed to be raining heavily.Yang Chi was a little disappointed, and went back to the room, staring at the 10,000 yuan in cash on the table in a daze. Yang Chi understood that he might die if he went this time. He had seen a lot of gangsters in the county, some of them were cowardly, so basically don't worry about them, and some of them you don't even know how many people he killed.Before meeting Zhu Kang, Yang Chi decided to write a fact sheet, so he found a pen and paper to write down what happened that day so that he would not be confused when he got the chance.Thinking that I still have a lot of savings, should I donate it to the orphanage or Lu Xiaolu? Dai Dai and Xiao Su are going to find a new life, and they don't need his inheritance.It suddenly occurred to me that after this trip, I would never bring the 10,000 yuan back, and the deposit was gone.This bastard Zhu Kang is really deceiving people.So he wrote viciously: My 10,000 yuan, even if he died, Zhu Kang's family must return it to my father. After writing this, I packed an envelope and deposited it together with my luggage at the check-in counter, and said to the counter clerk: If I don’t come back tonight, you can hand over the letter to the police, and please do please.The waiter looked at him affectionately, solemnly agreed to come down, and forgot about it at night. Yang Chi was lying on the bed. As a science student, he had to imagine many possibilities.The worst thing was that he and Zhu Kang were killed together, and the best thing was that he came back with Zhu Kang.But he doesn't understand psychology very well, he doesn't know how to calm down the kidnappers, and he doesn't know if the kidnappers are moral. (Lu Xiaolu said that it is better to expect the kidnappers to be faithful than to expect chastity from the prostitutes.) After thinking about it, the only way is to make the kidnappers feel that he can no longer give half a dime.In addition, he has to prevent Zhu Kang from being killed in advance. This idiot often does some unreasonable things, such as seeing the kidnapper's face. In a police movie, such a person will undoubtedly die.Yang Chi thought, if Zhu Kang really died, it would be his life, but Yang Chi couldn't pay 10,000 yuan for a corpse, and the corpse would not pay back the debt. At one point, he felt that Zhu Kang was really annoying, and he couldn't explain why he took risks for this person.If the person who was kidnapped was Lu Xiaolu, he would naturally be obliged to do so, but who would kidnap Lu Xiaolu, a bastard?Later, he thought that he should be worthy of his conscience in doing things. He even took the risk of getting an electric shock to catch up with Minister Bao, so there was nothing to complain about.Thinking that Zhu Kang was kidnapped and seemed to be in the hands of the female kidnapper, he laughed for a while.Then the call came again. "Why haven't you come out yet?" It was still that woman. "Five o'clock." Yang Chi looked at the clock, it was half past four.There was an "oh" over there.Yang Chi said again: "I want to hear Zhu Kang's voice." The woman said: "I'm using a public phone now. Zhu Kang told you to come here early." Yang Chi said: "Fuck Zhu Kang." Hang up the phone Back in the room, I counted the money again, put it in an envelope, and put the envelope into a plastic bag, which was the least conspicuous.He tied his shoelaces tightly, put the fruit knife on the table into his trouser pocket, suddenly felt anxious, went to the toilet, and walked out of the hotel with a plastic bag. The movie theater in Huaishui County was completely abandoned by the end of the 1990s.This is a house made of red bricks, the most common old Soviet building, which looks like a workshop from a distance, but looks a bit like an English villa when viewed up close.The drizzle fell on the ground, and the drainage system in this area seemed to have failed. Water accumulated on both sides of the street, and black oil stains and cinders appeared.There was no one around, and straw was piled under the corridor at the entrance of the cinema. Yang Chi stood there, a little confused.I didn't ask whether the place to pay the money was "behind the cinema" or "in the back of the cinema".At this time, a woman came over and whispered to Yang Chi, "Can't find it? Come with me." Yang Chi thought to himself, is it ignorance or arrogance to call him his elder sister?Not wearing a mask. I followed the woman through a large iron gate next to the movie theater, with a huge asbestos tile ceiling above my head, and an agricultural tricycle parked. After turning a corner, the road narrowed, with a wall on one side and a road on the other. The back door of the cinema.Yang Chi was afraid, and said, "I'm not leaving." The woman whispered, "Here we are." At that moment, Yang Chi saw Zhu Kang. He was packed in a broken burlap sack with his head sticking out, and the mouth of the sack was in front of him. His neck was tied tightly, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, and his whole body was dripping wet. It seemed that he had been waiting in the rain for a long time.Yang Chi couldn't help being happy, Zhu Kang, you have today too.Then, an old farmer came over from under the wall and put a sickle on Zhu Kang's neck. The woman said, "Money." Yang Chi said, "You take out the cloth from his mouth first, I have something to ask him." The woman hesitated for a moment, and pulled out the cloth from Zhu Kang's mouth.Zhu Kang let out a low moan and cried.Yang Chi said: "Don't cry first. I brought the 10,000 yuan, but it's my personal deposit, and you have to pay it back to me when you go back. If you don't pay it back, I'll leave now." Zhu Kang said: "I Pay you back, I'll pay you back, pay you back with interest." Yang Chi said, "They didn't beat you, did they?" Zhu Kang said, "Not much, it's good for me." Yang Chi looked at the woman and the woman. The old peasants, the two looked very restless, impatient already.Yang Chi took out money from the plastic bag, handed it to the woman, and said, "Ten thousand." The woman shivered and stuffed the money into her pocket, forgetting the points.The old farmer was very dissatisfied and said: "It's cheap, we agreed to 50,000." Yang Chi said: "I really don't have so much money anymore, and you are also taking risks. Take the money and leave quickly." The old farmer said: "No, it's best At least 20,000. We are really risky." Yang Chi said: "You don't want to change your mind like this. I will only come if you agree to 10,000. I really have no money. Next time. You can let him go this time. At this time Zhu Kang said: "I can go to the bank to withdraw money for you." The old farmer's eyes lit up.Yang Chi thought to himself, fuck it.Before he could finish his thoughts, his neck tightened, and someone tied him with a rope, pulling his heels off the ground.It turned out that these two kidnappers were not the only ones. Zhu Kang said: "I went to the bank to withdraw money. I have a card, but the card is in my hotel." At this time, Yang Chi had already been tied up, with the cloth head stuffed into his mouth, and fell beside Zhu Kang.The one who tied him with a rope was a black and strong young man. The three kidnappers came together to discuss and said to Zhu Kang, "How much money do you have in your bank card?" Zhu Kang said, "It's only ten thousand." The strong young man said: "If we call the police, we will kill him." Zhu Kang said: "I will definitely not call the police. I will come back after I get the money." The strong black young man said fiercely: "I will go with you!" Kang said, "Okay, okay." If Yang Chi hadn't been gagged, he would have said that this kind of kidnapping is very unprofessional, and within the scope of unprofessional, it doesn't seem serious, at least, the bank is closed after five o'clock, but Good people often forget about it.He will also tell the kidnappers that Zhu Kang is a scumbag, that he never counts when he speaks, and that he will spoil things. This bastard is not even qualified to be a hostage. This group was untied by Zhu Kang, and the black and strong youth escorted them, and the two left in the rain.Before leaving, Zhu Kang turned his head and said affectionately: "Yang Chi, I will come back to redeem you." Yang Chi thought to himself, fuck you, Dong Cunrui was played to death like this.The woman helped Yang Chi up, sat on the ground with his lower body, and leaned his upper body against the wall.Yang Chi shook his head vigorously.The old farmer said: "He's not very honest, let's take him to the car." The two moved Yang Chi to the ceiling, moved him to the back of the agricultural motorcycle, and covered it with a piece of linoleum.Yang Chi didn't struggle anymore, he was afraid of bumping into the scythe, he felt his head and face turned black, and he couldn't see anything. After a while, the strong black youth ran back. "He ran away!" The woman said: "You are really useless, why did you let him run away?" The strong black youth said dejectedly: "He ran away before reaching the bank. I chased him for a while, and he yelled for help. If I keep chasing him, I should follow him into the police station." The old farmer said: "He went to the police, let's run too." When Yang Chi heard the sound of the agricultural motorcycle starting, he trembled and bumped somewhere.He guessed that Zhu Kang would run away, and he was not surprised at all. He hoped that Zhu Kang could go to the police, because the police really needed to be dispatched right now. That day, Zhu Kang ran wildly towards the gate of the police station. Later, he thought that calling the police would probably kill Yang Chi. Although Yang Chi was a jerk, he spent his own money to save him. Zhu Kang had to be righteous.So he ran back to the hotel, took out the wallet from the travel bag, took out the bank card, and suddenly realized that the three kidnappers must have left after he ran away, and the money could not be moved temporarily.Besides, the bank was closed, and even if it was open, he couldn't withdraw 10,000 yuan from his card.There was no idea at both ends, Zhu Kang thought for a while in the hotel and fell asleep.When he woke up at noon the next day, the kidnappers did not call.I should have gone to the back of the cinema to see the situation, but Zhu Kang was so frightened that he couldn't bear the courage.Yang Chi is eloquent, or he may be able to survive under the kidnapper's scythe. The gold medal salesman should have the ability to save himself, just wait for him for a few days.After waiting for another day, Yang Chi didn't come back, and there was no news of the kidnappers. There were rescuers everywhere, and they heard that there was a flood in the village.Zhu Kang called the factory and was very relieved to find that the factory didn't know about the kidnapping.But he didn't intend to tell the factory about it, because he had to mention the part about his going to the nightclub. According to the factory's discipline, the salesman went to the pornographic place without entertaining the customers, which led to the accident. To be dismissed. Zhu Kang thought about all this, fearing that someone would trouble him again, he left the hotel, bought a ticket, and fled back to Daicheng.When they arrived at the pesticide factory, they told a little lie: Yang Chi had gone somewhere, this kid was always conceited, disorganized and undisciplined.The world is in chaos, and people can't imagine that he can be such a scumbag.Zhu Kang took a breath, and a few days later, there was still no news from Yang Chi, and the kidnappers did not call the factory, so the situation was calm.Zhu Kang thought to himself, most likely it was thrown into the river.Shaking his head to let himself forget about this bad luck and the 10,000 yuan owed to Yang Chi, he went to the sales department to ask for a business trip to Xinjiang, and went to the foot of Tianshan Mountain to escape the summer heat.
