Chapter 3 Chapter Two

Early the next morning, Shirley Yang, Fatty and Qin Siyan and I embarked on a journey back home in the cold wind of New York City.Before leaving, Erye Xue stuffed a beautifully embroidered purse into my pocket.I thought it was colorful and feminine, so I said to Xue Erye: "You haven't written the horoscope yet, why did you help us buy these nasty things, and besides, the purses are given by women to men. I'm a big man, it's not appropriate to give it to Shirley Yang." The old man shook his beard and said: "You are not very old, and you are not serious when you speak. This old man knows that this trip will not be able to stop you guys. The sky is high and the sea is wide. You young people, it is good to have the courage to go for it. Yes. This kit is a life-saving treasure, if you are in trouble in the old capital, you will naturally use it."

I couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so I randomly stuffed the purse into the bag.A group of people packed their bags and prepared to return to Beijing. The addition of Qin Siyan was completely unexpected. He drove us to the airport earlier and stuffed a small suitcase in the trunk with him.When he entered the ticket gate, he still followed him all the way. The fat man told him that he would have to say goodbye after a long journey, and if you follow up, the barrister, the plane would be overloaded. Four Eyes took out the ticket from his arms and handed it to the ticket inspector, then smiled at us.I was baffled by this sudden companion: "Your boy didn't say hello in advance. Once you leave, who will take care of the old man?"

"I also made a temporary decision yesterday. Some situations...are special, so let's talk about it after getting on the plane." The expression of the four eyes is rare embarrassment, as if there is something unspeakable.While speaking, his face changed suddenly, and he pulled me up and ran to the boarding gate.I heard the sound of "thump, thud, thump" footsteps behind me, and I turned around to see a group of black suits jumping over the crowd and rushing towards us. "Qin, you fucking, stop for my young master!" A very familiar face emerged from the crowd. I have never seen the young master of the Wang family so angry, grinning his teeth, his neck turned red like a cockscomb, as if someone had dug his ancestral grave.If my guess is correct, the mercenaries of the chamber of commerce are probably indispensable in those black suits behind him.Although I don't know what kind of evil spirit the little bastard is playing, I am no stranger to the reason why a hero does not suffer from immediate losses.I took Shirley Yang, greeted the fat man, ran to the boarding gate and rushed in.The airport security was quickly attracted by this farce with a large number of people.A few rough-and-tumble American security guards stopped Wang Qingzheng, and his men in black suits saw that someone was touching his young master, and they were so excited that they fought against the armed airport security guards.We mingled with the boarding crowd and quickly left the scene.He took a long breath when he took his seat on the plane.I didn't care about putting away my carry-on luggage, so I raised my eyes, forcing him to confess and be lenient.

"Do you owe someone money, or are you short of money? Tell me honestly, are you planning to abscond this time?" Qin Siyan picked up the backpacks of several of us, handed them to the flight attendant, and then dusted off the collar: "The trouble caused at the flowing water banquet yesterday is not a big deal. It's just that Wang Shao can't think about it. I am a man, and you, the shopkeeper, don't care about it." Clearly, why flee to the mainland just to avoid him." I was right when I thought about it, Qin Siyan is a scholar, although sometimes he has more wicked ideas, but it can't be a felony of murder and arson, not to mention that Wang Shao himself is not a clean bird with white feathers and snow feathers.It would be impossible to say that Four Eyes owed him anything.

Shirley Yang speculated and asked if the seats arranged for the Wang family were too few, which caused trouble.The fat man "cut" and said that this possibility is very high. Second-generation ancestors like Wang Qingzheng are used to awe-inspiring prestige. If they stumble a little, they will blame the party and the society.We don't have to be familiar with him. Although I'm curious about this matter and want to know how Four Eyes offended the eldest young master of the Wang family, but I can't keep asking.Firstly, it’s a private matter after all, so it’s useless to inquire too much; secondly, the fate of the trip to Nanjing is uncertain, and the matter in Yunnan is still hanging in the air, so I really lack the leisure to care about other people’s affairs.

After tossing and turning all the way, changing planes and cars, it took us four days to get back to Nanjing. The bumps along the way are more tempering than touching gold.When I got off the train, it was already midnight, and I couldn't find any means of transportation.The fat man hadn't slept well on the train, and now he was so tired that he was on his back, relying on me and his four eyes to hold him back. "Don't say anything and leave, I want to sleep. It doesn't count if the Jade Emperor is here." After speaking, he squatted down and rolled up his clothes on the side of the road.

"It's all my fault," Shirley Yang said guiltily, "Why don't you find a hotel nearby and stay here first." "How could it be your fault? I blamed me for not being well prepared and not buying the train tickets in advance. It caused everyone to stand all the way from Shanghai to now." The four-eyed suit was squeezed into a torn jacket on the train. It was crumpled and looked like a rural teacher from a distance. These two have spent half of their lives in the United States, and have never seen anything in the big world. They are so frightened by the green cards in China. The trains are crowded with people, people trample people, and they can't even save a place to stay.The three of us old men built a temporary bunker for Shirley Yang with our luggage, and separated a barely restable seat in the corner.The fat man thought he was physically strong, and insisted on leaving the seat for Shirley Yang, refusing to change shifts to take a rest, and thus staged a tragicomedy lying across the station entrance.But according to my understanding of Fatty, this kid must be thinking about letting Shirley Yang play more emotional cards for him in front of Lin Fang.

Fortunately, there are many places for people to rest near the train station, and the few of us quickly found a guest house that looked clean.As soon as I opened the glass door of the guest house, I saw the aunt at the front desk wearing a floral jacket, leaning on the table and sleeping soundly.The few of us were tired all the way, and now we rushed to the warm place with our luggage like refugees fleeing from famine. The guest house is divided into upper and lower floors. It is a typical workshop shop. The brick walls are painted with lime, and straw stalks are exposed in many places.But we were tortured for dozens of hours on the train, and we couldn't care less about changing to another place.The aunt took out the pen and paper used for registration, pointed to the notice board on the wall and said, "Take out your marriage certificate and ID card."

I went up to take a look. Inside the small notice board, there was a notice from the neighborhood committee of Xuanwu District, saying that recently there were criminals from other provinces in Nanjing who committed crimes everywhere, which seriously threatened the production and life of local residents. All guest houses are required to register the occupants Procedures, one certificate per person, to eliminate hidden dangers. It's easy to talk about other things, but where can I find the marriage certificate for my aunt.I had no choice but to explain to her that we were all single and good young men without certificates.The aunt looked Shirley Yang and me up and down, and said firmly: "You want to open a house without a certificate, you are playing hooligans. Hand over your ID card."

Four Eyes and Fatty laughed, I didn't have time to answer them, and continued to explain to Aunt Suihua: "We want two rooms, and she lives alone." The aunt snorted heavily, as cold as the cold wind, she said triumphantly: "I've seen a lot of you little young fools. Without a certificate, even three rooms are not enough." I was dumbfounded by her, and I didn't dare to be serious with an elderly aunt.Four eyes pushed the glasses, took out a bag of chocolates from the fat man's bag, and stuffed it into the hands of Aunt Suihua: "We just came back from outside, and we are not familiar with the situation in the mainland. Please be flexible, just one night, we will open Three rooms, live in two."

The fat man asked, "Why do you need an extra room?" Siyan smiled and asked Aunt Suihua for her opinion.She picked up the bag of colorful American chocolates and rolled her eyes: "Since it is a special situation, we have to treat it specially. I think this guy with glasses is an honest person. You guys fill out the registration form yourself, and take the key." " I said in my heart that corruption and bribery are the biggest crimes. Aunt, you can just take the condolences and charge an extra rent for no reason. I randomly filled out the information of the four people, and Aunt Suihua pretended to pick it up to have a look, then put down the notebook, put on her reading glasses and asked, "Which one is Hu Bayi?" I nodded to her, but she had a deep prejudice against me and didn't want to talk to me, so I just patted the table and asked us to take the key and leave. After finally dusting the bed, there were three elders anyway, and I didn't care about changing and washing, so I plunged into the soft quilt.As soon as the fat man got into bed, he started snoring loudly, and stood aside frowning, obviously unwilling to join us.I said barrister, you can make up for it, or you can sleep with the fat man on the bed, and I will sleep on the floor.Siyan shook his head and asked me: "Did you notice that the waiter's attitude is a little... a bit wrong?" "Who? You mean the aunt at the front desk?" I carefully recalled my aunt's expression and voice, she looked like a retired old director of the neighborhood committee, and I didn't see any serious problems. Four Eyes also shook his head: "Maybe I'm paranoid, it's okay. Go to sleep, you've got enough energy, it's easy to do things." Just as he was talking, the door suddenly rang, "Dong Dong" knocked several times, and it sounded quite urgent.Four Eyes and I looked at each other, and looked out of the cat's eye, only to see Shirley Yang wrapped in a blanket, her head was wet, and she looked very anxious.I hurriedly opened the door and let her in. "Listen quickly..." Shirley Yang lifted the blanket, and the sound of stabbing electricity came out all at once.I took the radio and put it to my ear to listen carefully, and then I heard it clearly. It was reporting a midnight news, which was an important announcement that the public security agency offered rewards for the arrest of wanted criminals. The announcer spoke in substandard Mandarin: The person has been identified as the mastermind of this case, let’s repeat the suspect’s information below: Hu Bayi, male, 32 years old, Han nationality, 182 cm tall, origin... I was shocked by my own name, and blurted out: "Is there a mistake?" Shirley Yang signaled me to continue listening. At this moment, the fat man had just been woken up by us from sleep, his eyes were sleepy, and he hadn't figured out what happened for a while, so he kept asking us what we were tossing about.I shushed him, telling everyone to calm down and continue listening to the radio. I don’t know if it’s because of the poor signal. The reception of the radio has been intermittent, and the content behind it is basically broken and fragmented. It roughly means that a criminal gang reselling cultural relics has appeared in the Nanjing area, involving several huge amounts of cultural relics smuggling. case, in a recent operation, the key members of the gang were arrested, involving Hu Bayi and Yunyun behind the scenes. I was dumbfounded when I heard that, how could I become a wanted criminal in a blink of an eye after only going out for a few months, or the bandit leader.The fat man patted me: "Okay brother, after all these years, I really didn't realize that he was doing a side job behind our backs." Siyan's face changed drastically, he picked up his coat and said, "This place can't stay anymore, we have to run." I pushed the fat man up from the bed: "What Four Eyes said makes sense, I'm afraid the news would have come out long ago. I'm afraid that's what Da Jinya was referring to in the letter." Shirley Yang threw down the blanket and said seriously: "It's not too late. Let's go out through the fire exit and try not to disturb the front desk." As soon as I arrived in Nanjing, I found that I had somehow become a wanted criminal in the mouth of the announcer, which panicked everyone.A few of us made a fuss, packed the luggage roll that had just been unrolled, and prepared to escape through the back door of the guest house.Unexpectedly, as soon as the four of them left the room, they heard the voice of the waitress shout loudly from the corridor: "It's just a few of them, don't let them escape, arrest the thief, arrest the traitor Hu Bayi!" When I was yelled at by her, half of my teeth were sore, and the fat man exclaimed: "Fuck, the old Hu's parents are so embarrassing, it's a big fight." I turned my head and saw that I was about to cry. A group of green jackets and green trousers with big hats and batons in hand blocked the entrance of the corridor. The brothers even had green hats, at least a dozen or so people. "Go, go, go, this way!" Shirley Yang dragged us, turned into the passage at the corner, and ran in the opposite direction.She later told me that this is a habit developed in the Marine Corps. When you arrive at a place, you must first find out the front and rear doors and come up with an escape plan.Otherwise, she would not dare to lie down.Siyan said that this habit is very good, and he should learn from it, so as not to fall into the trap of little bastards in the future.I was sandwiched between the three of them, and the aisle was relatively narrow. The room was full of police officers who looked like crawlers, catching their heads wherever they came, which made us scurry around in a panic.The fat man was carrying his luggage, sweating profusely: "Comrades from any department are they, they are persistent and dedicated, and they are very skillful in encirclement tactics." I said stop cooking, we are the ones who are surrounded, and we have to wait until we escape to learn from it.At this time, a few of the more aggressive ones had already rushed in front of me. A policeman closest to me was as thin as a cricket with eyes full of emptiness. In his hands, he excitedly called out to his companions: "Move 1 move 1, I am Dong 13, the suspect has been arrested by me, please help! Repeat, please help!" Seeing that the situation was not good with four eyes, he kicked him hard on the forehead.I said assaulting the police is not a good thing, the police and the people are one family, you beat him like you beat my son, it hurts to see it.Relying on his strong size, the fat man blocked the passage in all directions. Two big blocks tried to break through his defense line and squeezed in. The buttons on his clothes were squeezed out, but they still failed. "Old Hu, run, I can't stand it anymore." The fat man's face was full of redness, his head was beaten open at some point, and his face was covered with blood marks.I knew in my heart that with his skills, it was far from being so embarrassing by a few small policemen.He must be thinking about me, lest the situation would expand, so he stood at the point of the gun and refused to fight back easily. Shirley Yang was originally running at the forefront, but at this moment she suddenly stopped and waved vigorously at us, expressing her intention to say that she was right in front of her eyes.Seeing that the fat man was injured, I didn't care about so many, so I lifted the small piece of police on the ground and threw it out.The others were originally circling around the fat man, but when they saw their own being picked up, they rushed to pick him up.The fat man took the opportunity to get out, probably due to excessive blood loss, his feet were not stable, if I hadn't stepped forward to give him a hand, he would almost have been thrown into the mud.Taking advantage of the current chaotic situation, we broke open the back door of the guest house and escaped for more than half an hour in one go.That season was different from today. The infrastructure in Nanjing hadn’t been completely refurbished. There were mostly farmlands near the train station, or factories that had just been built. "Find a place to stop first, and stop the fat man from bleeding." The fat man was supported by me and Four Eyes, with a pair of long johns on his forehead.We ran too fast and didn't have time to treat his wound. I randomly pulled out a piece of clothing from my bag and planned to cover the wound first. Fortunately, it was a pair of cotton long johns. Could beat me to death on the spot.Because we were not sure whether the other party would chase after us, we had to hide in a harvested rice paddy field for safety reasons.In Nanjing, there are four distinct seasons, except for warm spring.Jiujiuhan sang to the end, took off the padded jacket and went straight to the sandals, don't look at it in March, it is still freezing cold, so cold that people's noses and tears are scratched.If we don't hurry up and find a place to stop and rest, I'm afraid the four of us won't be able to bear it.It was pitch black at the moment, the fat man kept panting, his eyes twitched and his nose twitched, and tremblingly he pulled out a map of Nanjing.Seeing this, I hurriedly took out my pocket, looking for a box of matches for lighting, but when I put my fingers in my pocket, I was touched by something slippery and cold.I was shocked: Erye Xue's life-saving kit!
