Bai Fengtai reached back and locked the courtyard door, walked into the room and sat opposite Xi Ru. He said: "You left a signal at the entrance of the alley. What do you want from me?"
Xiru looked at Bai Fengtai and said, "I want to ask you, when do you plan to buy me a ticket?"
Bai Fengtai didn't answer but asked: "Are you ready?"
Xiru nodded, feeling quite proud, and said: "Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to come here?"
Bai Fengtai said "hmm" and said, "It's been ready in just over a week? Come here and let me take a look."
Xiru didn't say anything, walked to the cabinet in the living room, and took out the small bag. He spread it out and took the lock cylinder, handed it to Bai Fengtai, and said, "Take it."
Hearing this, Bai Fengtai reached out and grabbed the lock cylinder. Then look at Xiru taking a flat-headed iron piece instead of the flat-headed screwdriver. Then he took the pin with the other hand, inserted it in, and hooked it back and forth. Then it seemed to be hooked somewhere and stopped moving. Finally, the other hand held the iron piece and started to turn it. The two hands cooperated and turned half a circle. Just listen to the lock cylinder making a gentle sound. The lock tongue on top was retracted at once.
Xiru took out the pin and iron piece, still with a somewhat proud look on his face, and asked: "How long do you think it took me to use it?"
Bai Fengtai said: "Five or six seconds."
Xiru smiled and said, "How is it?"
Bai Fengtai also smiled and said: "Very good. As for the rest, open these for me and let me take a look." After saying that, he picked up one of the lock cylinders and faced Xiru.
Xiru didn't say anything. He inserted the pin and the flat iron piece. Not long after, there was a sound from the tower, and it didn't take a few seconds to open the lock again. Bai Fengtai smiled, picked up another lock cylinder, and pointed it at Xiru again. The latter remains unambiguous. That's it, open all four lock cylinders in a row. The longest one took less than ten seconds.
Bai Fengtai put down the lock cylinder. In fact, he wanted to see the progress Xiru made in unlocking the lock. The sooner the better. Therefore, he also smiled and said: "Okay, very good."
Xiru also had a somewhat smug smile on his face and said: "Of course, I have been practicing repeatedly this week. Practice whenever I have time. I think the time has come. From now on, are you in my When you go to work, you have to prepare your tickets every day."
"Okay." Bai Fengtai nodded and said: "Starting from tomorrow, every time you go to work, I will buy a ticket for the next day. In this way, as long as you get it, you can finish your shift the next day and go directly to the train station. .Then leave Shanghai immediately."
Xiru nodded, looked at the house, and said, "I'm a little reluctant to part with it. But... let's leave it at that. I'll pack some clothes, and you can ask your people to hold them for me while they wait at the train station. "
"Is there anything you must bring?" Bai Fengtai said: "If there is nothing you must bring, I don't recommend you bring anything. Daily necessities can be solved with money. And for basic daily necessities, we have actually provided them to your family in Chongqing. It's ready. All the furniture, bedding, pots and pans, etc. are all ready. You don't need to bring any clothes. I asked the brothers to prepare them for you. You can just go to the train station and find one. Just change the place and it will be done.”
Xiru said "hmm" and said: "Let me ask you something. After I leave, I will definitely have no chance of finding a house. But I have to bring the house deed with me. If I win one day... I mean, The Japanese and puppets have been defeated, does this house still belong to me?"
Hey, you are quite obsessed with money. But then I thought about it, it was right, it was a house after all. And it’s still in Shanghai, a place where land is at a premium. Besides, this is someone else’s house, and it’s perfectly normal for someone to want it. So he smiled and said: "That's for sure. For example, you took the house deed away. Then, your house was confiscated by the Japanese and puppets. Then one day they were defeated and the little devils were driven away, then you With the deed, this house must still be yours. Do you understand?
Let me say one more thing, you are one of ours now, and we can all testify to you. Even if you don’t have the deed with you, or the deed is lost. As long as we testify for you, this house also belongs to you. Understand? "
"I understand." Xiru said: "That's okay." After saying this, he paused and then said: "Okay, I asked you to come here just to inform you that from tomorrow on, I will look for opportunities to see if I can Steal the money printing plate. I may succeed at any time, but you guys must not let go of the chain. You must prepare the tickets. Hey, by the way, do you have to take a car? Can't you make a boat? "
"It's okay." Bai Fengtai said: "But boating is a waterway. If something happens, you may not have anywhere to run. But riding a car is different. It is very flexible. Think about it, you can travel for a while in a car. The distance feels almost the same. Get off the car, change another way, and continue on the road.
Even while driving, if you spot the opportunity, you can jump out of the car and run away at any time. Unless you weren't paying attention and broke your leg all of a sudden. Otherwise, nothing happens. And very secretive. But is it okay to take a boat? When you dive into the water, you can see it at a glance from the water. Although the waterways along the way also stop at one stop, when the waterways stop, most of them are small places. If you leave in another way, do you have to walk a long distance on two legs? "
When Bai Fengtai said this, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Xiru. He lit it and took a puff, and said: "Our brothers are carrying money. Every time the train stops, it must be a train in a city. Station. The transportation is very developed. And bringing money means that you can leave at any time and in various ways. You can even spend money to rent a car and drive on by yourself. "
"Okay." Xiru said, "You don't need to say anything anymore. The rest of what you say is nonsense. I understand what you mean."
"Well." Bai Fengtai said: "I'm giving you a few instructions. You are practicing very well now and can open locks very quickly. But again, find a good time. If it doesn't work, we don't have to do it. We still have to do it. There is time. Safety is the most important thing.”
Xi Ru nodded and said: "I understand, if I find that I am the first one to be unlucky, I still need to ask you to do this. Okay, this is what I'm asking you for today, so you can go."
Bai Fengtai smiled and said: "Okay, you are really rude. Let's go."
Xiru said: "Why are you so polite? If you are always here, you will incur the risk of suspicion."
"Yeah." Bai Fengtai said, "That's what happened. No need to send it away." After saying that, he got up and walked out.
