In the blink of an eye, it’s mid-March.
The weather has begun to gradually warm up.
There has been no news from Qin Zhenzhen for nearly two months since he left on the second day of the new year.
Xu Shi didn't ask, and Qin San didn't take the initiative to mention it to him. Maybe even he didn't know.
On this day, Qin San informed him that another job came from Longdao and asked him to prepare. He estimated that he should be ready to set off in the next two days.
Xu Shi had nothing to prepare.
He asked Qin San if he was still the same as before?
Qin San said that it was still the same, there were five people on his side, including Xu Shi and Taxi.
Sure enough, two days later, news came from Longdao, saying that they would meet at Donghe Park outside the city at two o'clock in the afternoon.
At half past one, Lal came with someone to pick him and Tasi up.
The three of them drove two cars. Xu Shi and Taxi got into Lal's car and did not pay attention to the people sitting in the car behind them. They thought they were Puda and Yangzi as before.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Donghe Park, because the people from Longdao hadn't arrived yet, the people in the car behind came down to put out water. Only then did Xu realize that Puda had been replaced by the boy named Xiao.
"Where did Puda go?" Xu Shi asked Lal when he withdrew his gaze.
Lal replied: "Pudana boy drank too much last night. When I called him this morning, he was still not sober."
Xu Shi frowned after hearing this. In the past six months, he had taken these boys on seven or eight trips. Although he couldn't say he was very familiar with Qin San's subordinates, he had a pretty good feel for each one's temperament. Although the boy Putana is not very old, he is quite steady in his actions and words. Every time there is a job, Qin San will inform them in advance. Before the specific time is determined, these people will remain ready to go out at any time. How could Puda suddenly drink heavily even though he knew there was a job these days? Drunk?
After Xu Shi was silent for a while, he said to Taxi: "Go to the car at the back and ask Xiao Rui to get to this car."
Tassie never hesitated to give his orders and never asked why.
Xiao Rui came over soon.
"Brother Dongyang!" Xiao Rui said hello to him and got into the car.
"Did you bring your cell phone?" Xu Shi asked after he sat firmly.
Xiao Rui raised his head and looked at him in the rearview mirror, shook his head and replied: "I didn't bring it with me. Didn't the third master say that I can't bring it with me?"
Xu Shi stared at him for two seconds, then looked back with a hum.
Not long after, Long Dao's people arrived, and the leader was an acquaintance named Qiangzi. After Qiangzi got out of the car and came over to say hello to Xu Shi, ten people and four cars started to hit the road.
Xu Shi sat in the back seat with his eyes closed the whole way.
Xiao Rui, on the other hand, kept staring out the window, as if he wanted to keep the route firmly in his mind.
At around nine o'clock, Xu Shi and his party met the seller at the foot of a snowy mountain and took the goods.
Then, he rushed to another destination without stopping.
The location of the meeting with the buyer is usually finalized after receiving the goods, and occasionally it will be temporarily changed once or twice in the middle. Same thing this time.
At three o'clock in the morning, after Xu Shi and his party circled a snow-capped mountain twice, they finally met the buyer at a saltwater lake.
Xu Shi didn't know the identity of the buyer. According to the agreement, only ten people came.
Both parties inspect the goods separately, and after confirming that they are correct, they pay one hand and deliver the goods. Once the money and goods are paid, the transaction is considered completed. After that, everyone goes to their respective mothers.
Xu Shi was already very familiar with this process.
As usual, Xu Shi and Qiangzi would each take one person to inspect the goods and trade, while the others would stay by the car. Xu Shi had brought Laer there several times before.
But this time...
Xu Shi stopped Laer who was about to go with him, waved Xiao Rui over and said, "Come with me."
Lar glanced at him but didn't say anything.
The transaction process went smoothly, and the buyer was straightforward. After confirming that everything was correct, he handed over the cash box. However, Xiao Rui, who was standing behind Xu Shi, suddenly stepped forward and wanted to pick up the cash box.
Xu Shi saw this and grabbed him. After Qiangzi glanced at Xiao Rui, he reached out and took the cash box.
After the buyer's man handed over the cash box, he immediately retreated with the goods.
Qiangzi carried the cash box and waited until they retreated a few meters away before turning around. When he turned around, he glanced at Xiao Rui again, and then said to Xu Shi, "I haven't seen this kid before."
Xu Shi hummed: "First trip."
"Not too smart or too smart is not necessarily a good thing. Brother Dongyang, what do you think?" Qiangzi said meaningfully.
Xu Shi smiled and didn't answer.
Xiao Rui stood aside, looking a little ugly.
After Qiangzi finished speaking, he took the lead and led his people towards the car. Xu Shi followed.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Rui, who was walking at the end, suddenly groaned.
Xu Shi turned around and stared at him, seeing him bending over with an expression of pain. After two seconds, he asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Qiangzi, who was walking at the front, also heard the noise, stopped, turned around and looked at them.
"Stomach hurts!" Xiao Rui said, feeling like he could no longer stand.
"No matter how painful it is, endure it and get in the car first." Xu Shi stared at him and said expressionlessly.
Xiao Rui gasped and almost knelt on the ground: "Let's go...I can't walk..."
Xu Shi narrowed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Qiangzi's men stepped back, frowned at Xiao Rui, and asked in a deep voice.
But Qiangzi had already quickly returned to the car with the money box, and then got into the car without hesitation.
Then, there was the sound of the car starting, turning around and leaving. There was no pause in the middle.
Xu Shi listened to the sound gradually receding and lost his patience. He stepped forward and dragged Xiao Rui up from his knees on the ground. Then he looked at Qiangzi's subordinate and ordered: "Come here and help."
After hesitating for a moment, the man came over, followed Xu Shi, and walked quickly to the car while holding Xiao Rui.
Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, Xiao Rui's whole body suddenly trembled, and then he made a sound of "vomiting", and a stream of filth with a sour taste spurted out of his mouth.
At this time, Lal came over with Yangzi. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and replaced Qiangzi and Xu Shihou. While dragging him to the car, he asked Xu Shi: "What's going on?"
Xu Shi shook his head: "Get in the car first, and move quickly." As he said that, he turned his head and looked around.
In the dark night, everything was quiet, and there seemed to be no danger, but there seemed to be danger hidden everywhere.
"You go first!" Xu Shi looked at the subordinate left by Qiangzi again and said in a deep voice.
The man seemed to hear the seriousness in Xu Shi's tone. After hearing this, he did not hesitate and immediately ran towards his car. After getting in the car, he quickly started the car and left the place.
At this time, Xu Shi, Laer and Yangzi also brought Xiao Rui back to the car.
Taxi had already started the car. Xu Shi asked Laer and Yangzi to drive a car. He stuffed Xiao Rui into Taxi's car, and then got in himself.
