"Young man, we've arrived." The driver parked the car, turned his head and said, "It's thirty yuan in total, scan the code on the sign at the back."
"No need to look for it." Li Fugui took out a red note from his waist and handed it to the driver, turned around and got out of the car.
The resources are basically ready, and the extra money is naturally useless. When darkness comes, the money is just a pile of waste paper.
It's not as good as a firewood for burning, and it's even too hard for wiping one's buttocks.
"Young man, wait a minute!" The driver quickly got out of the car and called to Li Fugui, "Young man, what did you mean when you just said that things are going to change?"
"I know your superiors must have ordered it to be kept secret, so just reveal a little bit of information to me."
"We ordinary people have low lives. I don't believe those bullshit officials. They say they are all for the people, but when something happens, we, the ordinary people, will definitely be the first to die."
"Officials have been lying to us people for so many years. I've had enough."
"I'm not afraid of death. I've lived for more than half my life and have experienced all kinds of bad things, but I don't want to die in such an unclear way!"
"Even if it's just once, reveal some news to us people, and don't let us die so unjustly!"
The more the driver talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes turned red when he looked at Li Fugui.
Li Fugui looked at the driver's big head, which was shining brightly, and silently lit a cigarette.
"Go back and get more food and more clothes."
"Sell everything you can. It's only two days."
After saying this, Li Fugui turned and walked into the alley.
Li Fugui has said all that he can. As for bugs and monsters, those things are simply unimaginable in the Sunshine Age.
That said, how many people would believe it?
Donghe Hotel, one hundred meters ahead.
After glancing at the bright light sign above his head, Li Fugui walked deeper into the alley.
…
Summer nights have a charming flavor that attracts countless people to rush into its embrace.
"Try my freshly braised pig's trotters!" Wan Guopeng brought a pot of steaming pig's trotters to the ground.
"Come on, come on, it's been a long time since I've eaten Guopeng Braised pig's trotters, but I'm so greedy!" Lu Ding'an put down the cold beer in his hand and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pig's trotters from the iron basin.
"Hot, hot, hot!" Lu Ding'an blew on his burned hands and grinned.
"Hahaha, this has just come out of the pot. You are as anxious as a monkey. Who are you going to scald if you don't scald it?" Wan Guopeng smiled and picked up a small bench made of wooden boards and sat aside. He picked up the beer and drank it fiercely. After taking two sips, he said, "Wuhu! One more sip of beer after a long day of work, it makes me so happy!"
Looking slightly slanted, Wan Guopeng saw Wan Guokun frowning and drinking wine one sip at a time.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy?" Wan Guopeng leaned on the bench and leaned towards Wan Guokun, "Did my sister-in-law have a conflict with you?"
"Yes, Brother Kun, I see you have been so depressed today." Lu Ding'an carefully gnawed on the pig's trotters.
Wan Guokun put down the bottle and smashed it twice: "I don't know why, but I've been feeling stuck in my heart these past two days. I always feel like something will happen."
"Hey! Brother Kun, you just haven't slept well in the past two days." Lu Ding'an comforted, "Don't worry about anything you should eat or drink. Isn't it just happiness that we do in this business?"
"I had a bad premonition before, always feeling that something was going to happen, but guess what? Nothing happened!"
Lu Ding'an threw the gnawed bones aside: "We just want to eat and drink well, what are we worrying about?"
"I hope so." Wan Guokun murmured, putting down the wine bottle in his hand.
The last time I had an ominous premonition was the day before my mother passed away.
"Three wolves, I am a mosquito."
A voice came, causing the three of them to look sideways.
"Fifty thousand, a little bit." Li Fugui said, taking off the backpack in front of him and throwing it in front of the three of them.
Wan Guokun was not in a hurry to look at the backpack, but looked Li Fugui up and down for a while.
"signal."
"Black ballpoint pen."
Wan Guokun nodded, stood up, opened the backpack on the ground, and took a cursory glance.
"Well, Guopeng took him to pick up the goods." Wan Guokun pulled up his backpack, threw it beside the iron basin, and then sat back down.
"That's your order!" Wan Guopeng threw away the empty wine bottle in his hand and pointed in the direction of Li Fugui, "This way."
Li Fugui followed Wan Guopeng's figure and placed his right hand on his waist where the knife was hidden.
Following Wan Guopeng through the layers of cover, Li Fugui came to a cellar.
"There are some sweet potatoes and vegetables in it. If this thing is stored for a long time, the cellar will be filled with carbon dioxide. If it gets smoked, you will die." Wan Guopeng explained while pulling open the wooden door covering the cellar. "Ventilate it and wait. Will go in again.”
Li Fugui nodded without saying anything more, but his hands on his waist did not dare to slack off at all.
"Huh~" Wan Guopeng squatted aside and lit a cigarette comfortably.
"I said, you don't need to be so nervous." Wan Guopeng's eyes fell on Li Fugui's waist and chuckled, "With your fifty thousand yuan, we won't have to kill people and steal goods."
As he spoke, Wan Guopeng lifted up the clothes behind his back, where a dark pistol was hidden.
"So don't be so nervous. If I wanted to kill you, you would have died a long time ago." Wan Guopeng put down his clothes and took a long drag on his cigarette.
Seeing this, Li Fugui had no choice but to put his hands down from his waist.
Although the other party also knows that he is protecting himself, the other party has already made his intention clear. If he does not let go, unnecessary misunderstandings may occur.
"Hey, what's that, a mosquito?" Wan Guopeng spit out a breath of thick fog, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Oh, I don't mean to insult you, but with your small arms and legs, you don't look like a killer."
"My wife cheated on me? My partner ran away with the money?" Wan Guopeng stared at Li Fugui's face, as if he wanted to see some other expression on Li Fugui's cold face.
However, Li Fugui's expression did not change at all.
"Are you a cop?" Wan Guopeng suddenly narrowed his eyes, his eyes dark.
Li Fugui's face twitched unconsciously, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Vaguely, there seemed to be some cold foreign object gradually climbing up Li Fugui's back.
"Hahaha! I'm kidding!" Wan Guopeng suddenly laughed, breaking the frozen atmosphere.
"I've been dealing with them for many years, and you don't smell like them." Wan Guopeng put out the cigarette butt in his hand lightly, stood up and shook off the ashes, "Okay, we're almost ready to go in."
In the night, the cold wind blew across Li Fugui's sweat-soaked back, and the black hole-like door looked like a man-eating monster.
Gritting his teeth, Li Fugui followed Wan Guopeng into the cellar.
…
"Hey, Captain Tong." Jian Yongguang called softly to Tong Dashan who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Tong Dashan raised his eyelids, moved his buttocks, and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "If you fart, hurry up."
"I heard that gun dealers were being arrested this time. I am the only one in my family. I..." Jian Yongguang hesitated a little, but after all, he still couldn't say the last three words.
"Hmph!" Tong Dashan snorted coldly, "Afraid of death? Why did you apply for the police academy in the first place if you were afraid of death!"
"Those words came out of your own mouth when you took the oath, right? Now that you're on the battlefield, you want to be a coward, right?"
"Now that you have become a soldier, put on this uniform, and have enjoyed the love and respect of the people, you cannot ignore the people just because you are afraid of death!"
"If I hear similar words from you again in the future, I will personally expel you from the military."
After saying this, Tong Dashan closed his eyes again, threw Jian Yongguang aside, and did not say another word.
Jian Yongguang opened his mouth but finally made no sound and lowered his head to the side.
Yan Gufei drove the car with one hand and lit a cigarette with the other, glancing along the rearview mirror.
"I'm talking about the mountains. Yongguang is a child soldier. It's his first time on such a battlefield. Isn't it normal to be afraid of death?"
Yan Gufei smoked a cigarette and smiled: "I remember when you first carried out the arrest operation, you seemed to be so scared that you couldn't even hold the gun, right?"
"Grandma, why are you mentioning those things!" Tong Dashan scolded with a straight face, obviously Yan Gufei had poked a sore spot.
"Hahaha! You are the same person. You get anxious whenever someone talks about you." Yan Gufei burst out laughing when he saw this.
"Today's young people, few are willing to go to these front lines! If Yongguang comes, you don't protect them and instead scold them. Be careful that no one will pass on your mantle to you in the future~"
"Huh!" Tong Dashan snorted coldly, but his expression softened a lot unconsciously.
There are very few young people willing to be transferred to the front line. Due to the casualties and injuries in recent years, there are few in the team anymore.
In private, Tong Dashan cursed more than once and criticized the weakness of the younger generation more than once, but there was nothing he could do.
The danger was blocked out by them, and the people inside lived a peaceful life. In the quiet time, they seemed to have forgotten the danger and darkness that were blocked outside.
In the future, what will we do if those who were on the front line of the war are no longer there?
"Yongguang, follow the boy captain." Yan Gufei suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes filled with a deep strange light, "No one cares about their own lives, and they don't want anything to happen to one of them."
"We're at the place, get off the car."
