Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

The train station is a mixed bag.

Thieves, swindlers, and robbers all regard train stations as a place to make a fortune.

Different gangs often fight over territory at the train station.

Although Lao Li said that the train station is the territory of Daobei people, Daobei people are not a monolithic group and there are many gang branches within them.

I silently observed the situation around me.

There is a begging gang on the north side of the station square.

Some people kneel down and kowtow to beg.

Some people carried their children on their backs and asked passers-by for money with bowls in their hands.

There were also a few children whose tendons in their hands and feet had been cut, performing tricks like shrinking their bones to beg for money.

Begging was all the rage in the 1980s and 1990s.

He made his fortune by gaining sympathy.

Of course, it is the gang leader who gets rich.

The beggars who were controlled had a very miserable life.

The west side of the station square is where Rato committed fraud.

The stall owner was shouting and selling elixirs with all his might, and a group of touts gathered in front of the stall to help attract people to join in the fun.

As long as you go over to watch the fun, you will basically be fooled into buying the magic medicine made of flour.

At the intersection of the station square and Jiefang Road, there were several strong men with their hands in their pockets.

When those strong men see people walking alone, they will follow them in groups of two, obviously looking for an opportunity to rob them.

Further ahead on Jiefang Road, there are many stalls selling performances.

Some people were playing "Three Immortals Returning to the Cave" with bowls and small balls, and asked passers-by to place bets to guess which bowl contained the ball.

There are chess endgames, and people who love chess are invited to come and solve the problem, etc.

I also saw thieves stealing in crowded places.

The thief's movements were very nimble.

He just put his hand gently on his clothes pocket, and money came out with his fingers.

The whole process takes less than a second.

The person whose money was stolen didn't feel anything at all.

I was secretly shocked when I saw it.

I finally understand how dangerous the world is.

The small square in front of the station brought together the four major families of Heng, Ge, Lan and Rong, as well as a Beggar Gang.

You have to be more careful when you go out in the future.

As I was thinking about it, a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old came over with a shy smile.

He said to Wang Hu, "Brother, can you lend me a light?"

"Okay."

Wang Hu didn't think much about it and took out a match and handed it over.

The young man took the cigarette from his ear and put it between his lips, then took the match and lit it.

After returning the matches, he smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. Are you going on a long trip?"

"Well, I'm going out for a while." Wang Hu took back the match and replied casually.

The young man continued to chat: "Where are you guys going? Are you going south to make a living?"

"I heard the policies in the South are very good, and anyone who goes there will make a fortune."

Wang Hu sensed something was wrong and glared at him, "What do you mean by asking so many questions?"

"Don't get me wrong, brother. I'm just asking casually. I was thinking that if you go out to make a fortune, can you take me with you?"

"My family couldn't find me a job, so I wanted to go out and try my luck."

The young man had a smile on his face as he spoke.

But I could see that his eyes were calm, without any ripples in them at all.

Ordinary children want to go out and explore the world, and their words and eyes will reveal unconcealable expectations, excitement, and even nervousness.

This guy is so calm!

At this time, Wang Hu lowered his head and looked at me.

I guess the guy might have been sent by someone who was targeting us.

It's just that their eyesight is not good, and they seem to have mistaken the oldest Wang Hu as the leader.

So I stood up, turned my back to the young man, and mouthed the words to Wang Hu, signaling him to chat casually to find out more about the young man.

I turned around and stood beside Wang Hu, bowed slightly and said, "Brother Hu, I've rested enough. Please sit down and have a rest."

Wang Hu's eyes rolled and he put his arm around my shoulders.

"Why are you being so polite? We are all about loyalty. When we're out, the elder brother has to take care of the younger brother."

Obviously Wang Hu understood what I meant.

Knowing that I was promoting him to the position of leader, he took the opportunity to respond.

The young man looked at Wang Hu with brighter eyes.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Hu respectfully: "It turned out to be Brother Hu. I could tell at a glance that Brother Hu was very powerful in the crowd!"

Wang Hu sat down, crossed his legs, and laughed as he shook his feet, "You little brat are quite good at flattering others. You're so old, but you want to go out and make a living. Does your family know about this?"

"I'm eighteen, and my family... doesn't know."

"Brother Tiger, please let me follow you. I'm willing to do anything as long as I can get rich."

The young man squatted in front of Wang Hu while talking.

His eyes drifted towards the big bag under Wang Hu's butt.

I suddenly understood.

I guess the big bag was noticed by someone.

At that time, most people carried long bags when they went out.

The corners of bags containing clothes and other things are all curved, and it is rare for them to remain square even when filled with things.

The big bag is filled with emergency lights, which are square and look unique.

This difference attracted the attention of those with bad intentions.

I guess it's because there are three of us, which makes it difficult for those who are targeting us to deal with it, so they sent this guy over to investigate the situation first.

One is to find out whether the things in the big bag are valuable.

The second is that he wants to sneak in and follow us so as to find an opportunity to take action.

Wang Hu chuckled: "Do you really want to hang out with me?"

"Then tell me your number. Your name, where you live, how many people are there in your family, your parents' names, where you work..."

The young man's face turned pale when he heard this: "Brother Hu, you wouldn't ask that question when checking the household registration."

"If you're with me, you have to follow my rules. If you don't want to, get out."

The young man was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Ding Yi, I live on Taiyi Road, and there are five people in my family..."

I silently wrote down what Ding Yi said.

I plan to pick a few questions later and ask them to see if what he said before and after matches.

After finishing speaking, Ding Yi looked at Wang Hu with anticipation: "Brother Hu, I have followed your rules. Can you help me get rich?"

"Okay! Follow me from now on!"

"Come on, go buy me a pack of cigarettes first and see if you're smart enough."

Ding Yi stretched out his hand, indicating that he wanted money to buy cigarettes.

Wang Hu smacked him on the head. "You need me to pay you for cigarettes? You're not smart at all. Do you know how to be a good younger brother?"

A fierce look flashed across Ding Yi's eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyelids to cover it up.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked Brother Hu for money."

"I, I'll go buy some cigarettes."

After saying that, he ran towards a store not far away.

A few seconds after he entered the store, a middle-aged man with a beard followed him in.

Wang Hu asked in a low voice: "Master Chen, where did that kid come from?"

"It's probably a thief."

"what?"

"Aren't thieves here to steal things? Why are they trying to get close to us?"

I shook my head slightly.

Small items are naturally stolen and taken away.

If it’s something big, you need to plan and make plans.

"There are three of us, and the bag is so big, it would be difficult for even the most skilled thief to steal it all at once, so they need to set up a trap."

I said as I pondered.

I thought maybe I could use the thieves' tactics against them!
