Chapter 4 Thief Early the next morning, Shiry Yang, Fatty and Qin Siyan and I embarked on the journey back home in the cold wind of New York City.
Before leaving, Mr.
Xue put a beautifully embroidered purse into my pocket.
I thought it was colorful and feminine, so I said to Mr.
Xue: "You haven't even finished your horoscope yet, why did you help us buy these disgusting things?
Besides, women give men their purses.
It’s not appropriate for me, a big man, to give this to Shiry Yang.”
The old man shook his beard and said: "You are not old, and you are not serious when you talk.
I know that I can't stop you guys from this trip.
The sky is high and the sea is vast.
You young people, it is best to go and have a try."
Yes.
This piece of advice is a life-saving treasure.
If you are in trouble in the capital, you will naturally use it."
I couldn't guess what the old man was thinking, so I couldn't refuse, so I stuffed the purse into my bag haphazardly.
The group packed their bags and prepared to return to Beijing.
Qin Siyan's joining was completely unexpected.
He took us to the airport earlier and stuffed a small suitcase in the trunk with him.
Entering the ticket gate, he followed him all the way.
The fat man said to him that after a long journey, you need to say goodbye.
Barrister, if you follow him, the plane will be overloaded.
Si Yan took out the ticket from his arms and handed it to the ticket inspector, then smiled at us.
I was confused by this unexpected traveler: "You didn't even say hello in advance.
When you leave, who will take care of me when you leave?"
"I just made a temporary decision yesterday.
There are some special circumstances.
Let's get on the plane first."
Si Yan's expression was unusually embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed, he picked me up and ran towards the boarding gate.
I heard the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps coming from behind me.
I turned around and saw a group of black suits jumping over the crowd and rushing towards us.
"Qin, you damn boy, stop for me."
A very familiar face emerged from the crowd.
I have never seen the eldest young master of the Wang family look so angry.
He bared his teeth and his neck turned into a comb.
Hong, as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave.
If my guess is correct, those black suits behind him are probably mercenaries from the Chamber of Commerce.
Although I don’t know what kind of evil trend the little bastard is inspired by, I am not unfamiliar with the principle that a good man will not suffer the consequences in front of him.
I held Shiry Yang's hand, called to the fat man, and rushed to the boarding gate.
Airport security was quickly attracted by the farce involving a large number of people.
Several rich American security guards stopped Wang Qingzheng.
When his men in black suits saw someone touching his young master, their blood boiled and they actually started fighting with the airport security guards who were armed with live ammunition.
We blended in with the people boarding the plane and quickly left the scene.
I took a deep breath when I successfully sat down on the plane.
I didn't bother putting away my luggage, so I grabbed Si Yan and forced him to confess and be lenient.

"Do you owe someone money, or do you owe someone a favor?
Tell me honestly, are you planning to abscond this time?"
Qin Siyan picked up the backpacks of several of us and handed them to the flight attendant.
Then he dusted his collar and said, "The trouble caused at yesterday's flowing banquet is not a big deal.
Mr.
Wang just can't think about it."
Shopkeeper, you don’t know who I am, so why bother running away to the mainland to avoid him?
" I was right when I thought about it.
Qin Siyan was a scholar.
Although he sometimes had many bad ideas, he could not commit a serious crime of murder and arson.
Besides, Mr.
Wang himself was not a clean bird with white hair and snow feathers.
To say that Si Yan owed him anything, that's really not the case.
Shiry Yang deduced and asked if the number of seats assigned to the Wang family was too few, which was why they got into trouble.
The fat man said "cut" and said that it was very possible.
Second-generation ancestors like Wang Qingzheng were used to being dignified and powerful.
They would blame the party and society if they stumbled even slightly.
We don’t have to be familiar with him.
Although I am curious about this matter and want to know how Si Yan offended the eldest young master of the Wang family, it is not easy to ask again and again.
Firstly, it is a private matter after all, and there is no benefit in prying too much; secondly, the fate of the trip to Nanjing is uncertain, and the affairs in Yunnan have always been pending.
I really lack the leisure to care about other people's affairs.
After going back and forth all the way, changing planes and cars, it took us four days to get back to Nanjing.
The bumps along the way were more challenging than trying to make money.
When I got off the train, it was already midnight and there was no means of transportation anywhere.
The fat man never slept well on the train.
Now he was so tired that he was lying on his back, relying on me and Si Yan to hold him.
"I don't want to leave anymore, I want to sleep.
Even if the Jade Emperor comes, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, he squatted down and rolled up his clothes on the edge of the road.
"It's all my fault," Shiry Yang said guiltily, "Why don't we find a hotel nearby and stay there first."
"How could this be your fault?
I blame me for not being fully prepared and not buying the train tickets in advance.
This has caused everyone to stand all the way from Shanghai to now."
The suit with four eyes was squeezed into a tattered jacket with its threads off on the train, wrinkled. , looks like a country teacher from a distance.
The two of them had been in the United States for half their lives and had never seen much of the big world.
Even the green cards in the country were so frightening that they were so crowded and trampled on the train that they couldn't even find a place to stay.
The three of us old men built a temporary bunker for Shiry Yang with our luggage, and separated a seat in the corner that was barely enough for him to rest.
The fat man regarded himself as having extraordinary physical strength and insisted on leaving his seat to Shirey Yang, refusing to take a break during the shift.
This led to a tragic comedy of lying at the station entrance.
But based on what I know about Fatty, this kid must be thinking about asking Shirey Yang to play more emotional cards for him in front of Lin Fang.
Fortunately, there are many resting places near the train station, and we quickly found a guest house that looked relatively 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, sleeping soundly on the table.
We were tired from the journey, and now we were carrying our luggage and rushing to a warm place like refugees fleeing from famine.
The aunt at the front desk was spoiled by our nagging, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.
This guest house is divided into two floors.

It is a typical workshop shop.
The brick walls are painted with lime, and straw stalks are exposed in many places.
However, we were tortured for dozens of hours on the train and no longer thought about changing to another place.
The aunt took out the registration paper and pen, pointed to the notice board on the wall and said, "Bring out your marriage certificate and ID card."
I went up and took a look.
Inside the small notice board, there was a notice from the Xuanwu District Street Neighborhood Committee.
It is said that recently there have been roving criminals from other provinces committing crimes in Nanjing, which has seriously threatened the production and life of local residents.
All hostels are required to complete the registration procedures for check-in personnel and provide one person with one card to eliminate hidden dangers.
It's easy to talk about other things, but where can I find a marriage certificate for my aunt?
I had no choice but to explain to her that we were all single, good young people without certificates.
The aunt looked Shiry Yang and I up and down and said categorically: "You are trying to get a room without a certificate.
You are acting like a hooligan.
Hand over your ID card."
Si Yan and Fatty burst into laughter.
I had no time to answer them and continued to explain to Aunt Sui Hua: "We want two rooms and she lives alone."
The aunt snorted heavily, as cold as the cold wind, and said proudly: "I have seen too many of you young and frivolous people.
Even three rooms are not enough without a certificate."
She made me laugh and cry, but I didn't dare to be serious with an elderly woman.
Siyan pushed up his glasses, took out a bag of chocolates from the fat man's bag, and put it into the hands of Aunt Flora: "We have just come back from abroad and are not familiar with the situation in the mainland.
Please be accommodating, just for one night, and we will start Three rooms, two to live in.”
The fat man asked: "Why do we 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 this is a special situation, we have to treat him specially.
I think this guy wearing glasses is an honest person.
You guys can fill out the registration form yourself and take the key." " I say in my heart that corruption and bribery are the biggest crimes.
Auntie, just take the consolation gift and charge extra for a room for no reason.
If you really encounter a rogue criminal, it will be like shooting yourself in the foot.
No wonder the public security environment.
I filled in the information of the four people randomly, and Aunt Suihua pretended to pick it up and look at it.
Then she put down the notebook, put on her reading glasses and asked, "Who is Hu Bayi?"
I nodded towards her, but unfortunately she was very prejudiced against me and didn't want to talk to me.
He just patted the table and asked us to take the keys and leave.
After finally dusting the bed, there were three old men anyway, so I didn’t even bother to change, and just dived into the soft quilt.
The fat man snored loudly as soon as he got into bed.
He stood aside with frowning eyes, obviously unwilling to join us.
I said, barrister, please make do with it a little, or else you and the fat man sleep in bed, and I will make a bunk on the floor.
Siyan shook his head and asked me: "Have you noticed that the waiter's attitude is a little bit wrong?"
"Who are you talking about that aunt at the front desk?"
I carefully recalled the aunt's expression and tone.
She looked like a retired director of the neighborhood committee.
I didn't see anything wrong with her.
Siyan also shook his head: "Maybe I'm too worried, but it's okay.
Go to sleep now.
You'll be full of energy, so you can do things easily."
Just as he was talking, the door suddenly rang, "dong dong" knocked several times, which sounded quite urgent.

Siyan and I looked at each other, then we looked through the peephole and saw Shiry Yang wrapped in a blanket, her head was wet, and she looked very anxious.
I hurriedly opened the door and let her in.
"Listen up!"
Shiry Yang opened the blanket, and a tingling sound of electricity suddenly came out.
I took the radio and put it to my ear to examine it carefully, and then I heard clearly that there was a midnight news report, which was an important notice about the public security agency offering a reward for the arrest of wanted criminals.
The announcer spoke in a less than standard Mandarin: He 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 name and blurted out: "Is there a mistake?"
Shiry Yang motioned for me to continue listening.
At this moment, Fatty had just been woken up from his sleep by us.
He was bleary-eyed and didn't understand what happened for a while, so he kept asking us what we were doing.
I shushed him and asked everyone to calm down and continue listening to the radio.
I don’t know if it’s because the signal is too poor, but the reception of the radio has been intermittent.
The following contents are basically broken fragments.
The general meaning is that a criminal gang has appeared in Nanjing to resell cultural relics, and has been involved in several huge smuggling cases of cultural relics.
In a recent operation, key members of the gang were arrested, and Hu Bayi, the mastermind behind the scenes, was implicated.
I was dumbfounded.
How come I had only been out for a few months and in the blink of an eye I became a wanted criminal and the leader of a gang.
The fat man patted me: "Okay, brother, after so many years, I really didn't notice that he was doing a side job behind our backs."
Siyan's expression changed drastically, he picked up his coat and said, "We can't stay in this place anymore, we have to run."
I pushed the fat man up from the bed: "What Si Yan said makes sense, I'm afraid the news has come out a long time ago.
I'm afraid this is exactly what Da Jin Ya mentioned in the letter."
Shiry Yang threw off the blanket and said seriously: "Without further ado, let's go out through the fire escape and try not to disturb the front desk."
As soon as I arrived in Nanjing, I found that I had become a wanted criminal in the announcer's mouth for no apparent reason, which panicked everyone.
A few of us quickly packed up the luggage rolls we had just rolled out and prepared to escape through the back door of the guest house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the four people left the room, they heard the waiter's mother's loud shout from the corridor: "It's just them, don't let them escape, catch the thief, catch the traitor Hu Bayi."
When she yelled at me, half of my teeth were sore.
The fat man exclaimed: "Fuck me, Old Hu is so shameless, it's a big fight."
I turned around and saw that I felt like crying.
A group of men in green coats and green trousers, holding batons, were blocking the entrance to the corridor.
A few of them even had green hats, and there were at least a dozen of them.
"Let's go, let's go, this way."
Shiry Yang dragged a few of us, turned into the passage at the corner, and ran in the opposite direction.
She later told me that this was a habit she developed in the Marine Corps.
When you arrive at a place, you must first dig through the front and back 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 to avoid falling into the trap of a little bastard in the future.
I was sandwiched between the three of them, and the corridor was relatively narrow.
The whole room was full of police officers like crawlers, popping up wherever they caught, making us crawl around in confusion.
The fat man was carrying his luggage and was so anxious that he was sweating: "They are all comrades from every department.
They are persevering and dedicated, and they are very skillful in using encirclement tactics."
I said you should take a break.
We are the ones being surrounded.
If we want to learn from others, we have to wait until we escape.
At this time, a few people who were running fiercely had already rushed in front of me.
The police comrade closest to me, who was as thin as a cricket, with all his eyes glinting, pounced on me like a hungry tiger, and firmly pulled my waistband.

In his hands, he excitedly called to his companions: "Dong 1, Dong 1, I am Dong 13, the suspect has been arrested by me, please ask for support.
Repeat, please support."
Si Yan saw that the situation was not good, so he kicked him hard in the head.
I said that attacking the police is not allowed.
The police and the people in the world are one family.
If you beat him, it will be like beating my son.
It hurts to see him.
The fat man relied on his strength to block the passage.
Two big blocks tried to break through his defense and squeezed in.
The buttons on their clothes were squeezed out, but they still failed.
"Lao Hu, run quickly, I can't hold it anymore."
The fat man's face turned purple.
His head was beaten open at some point, and his face was covered with blood marks.
I knew in my heart that with his skill, he would not be in such a mess by a few small-time policemen.
He must be thinking about me and fearing that the situation will escalate, so he holds the gun on me and refuses to fight back easily.
Shiry Yang was originally running at the front, but then she suddenly stopped and waved vigorously at us, indicating that the words she meant were right before our eyes.
When I saw that the fat man was injured, I didn't care so much.
I picked up the little policeman on the ground and threw him out.
The others were originally circling around the fat man, but when they saw one of them being lifted up and slipped away, they hurried to pick him up.
The fat man took the opportunity to pull out, probably because he had lost too much blood, and his feet were unstable.
If I hadn't stepped forward to help him, he would have almost fallen to his feet.
Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, we broke open the back door of the guest house and escaped for more than half an hour.
That time was different from today.
Nanjing's infrastructure had not been completely renovated.
Most of the areas near the train station were farmland or factories that had just been built.
It was harder to find a populated place in the middle of the night than to climb to the sky.
"Find a place to stop first and stop the fat man's bleeding."
The fat man was supported by Siyan and I, with a pair of long johns on his forehead.
We ran in such a hurry that we 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.
If I got the underwear, I guess the fat man would be in trouble.
Could beat me to death on the spot.
Because we were not sure whether the other party would pursue us, we had to hide in a harvested rice field for safety reasons.
Nanjing is a place with four distinct seasons, except for warm spring.
When Jiujiu Han finished singing, he took off his cotton-padded jacket and put on his sandals.
Even though it was March, it was still freezing cold, making people runny noses and tears.
If we don't find a place to stop and rest soon, I'm afraid that the four of us will not be able to bear it.
It was pitch black now, and the fat man kept breathing heavily, his eyes twitching and his nose shivering as he pulled out a map of Nanjing.
When I saw this, I hurriedly dug into my pocket to find a box of matches for lighting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my fingers entered the pocket, they were first touched by something slippery and cold.
I was shocked: Mr.
Xue’s life-saving tips:
