"Not me!"

Lin Ze quickly denied it.

"I know who it is, and you all know it too!"

The policeman suddenly took two steps forward, his eyes fixed on Lin Ze, and his hands still groping around his waist. Lin Ze was dissatisfied and was about to defend himself again, but unexpectedly, the policeman quickly took out his handcuffs and shook his legs.

The thief cuffed him.

"Zhang Fazi, I made you run away at Hukou Department Store before. Let me see where you go this time!"

The thief named Zhang Fazi's expression changed drastically, and when he reacted, a pair of cold copper handcuffs had been wrapped around his wrists.

"It hurts! Let go, let go..."

The police officer deliberately tightened the handcuffs, causing the thief to be speechless in pain, completely losing the arrogance he had shown before.

Lin Ze's eyes lit up when he saw this: "Comrade, when I took the train to the Liuhe Forestry Bureau yesterday, my grandson stole my money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fazi denied it flatly: "Hey, don't be blind. When I sat next to you, I found that your clothes had already been cut open."

......

In the end, Lin Ze only returned the two leftover pancakes that Zhang Fazi had eaten. When he returned to the carriage, the seat was already occupied, so he had to stand in the aisle.

Fortunately, he no longer had to go hungry. He used a teapot to get hot water and ate the flatbread until he was half full. Only then did he feel that he had regained some strength, and he no longer cared so much about the lost money and food stamps.

The train swayed for a day and a night. From time to time, he would change seats with others to rest, leaning on the back of the chair and squinting for a while. Anyway, he had no money, so he was no longer afraid of the wolf before him and the tiger behind him.

On the train, a group of people were sitting together, drinking wine and bragging. When they heard that they were going to Shanyan to plant ginseng, Lin Ze's tiredness disappeared. He listened carefully, fearing that he would miss a word. Previously, Yu Cheng told him

He was still a little skeptical when it was said that he could become a household worth ten thousand yuan a year by harvesting ginseng. Now that he heard a group of people say that they had noses and eyes, he seemed to see ginseng dolls jumping over the mountains and plains. How much does this cost? It seems that

This kid really isn’t bragging!

He even felt that it was right to burn his boat and leave his hometown this time.

Before he came, he sent a telegram to Yu Cheng and told him the approximate time of his arrival in Shanyan. There was only one train from Danjiang to Shanyan every day. He believed that Yu Cheng would definitely be able to pick him up.

Walking out of the station, looking at the bustling train station, Lin Ze could not suppress his excitement. No matter how difficult the journey was, he finally got through it.

Worried that there were too many people at the exit, Yu Cheng couldn't see him, so he deliberately stood under the big sign with three characters "Shanyan Station" written on it.

Shanyan City is adjacent to the Northern Dynasties, with a large number of Koreans and full of ethnic minority customs. Geographically, Shanyan is further south than Danjiang, with a warmer climate and more humid air.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when Lin Ze got off the bus, and the sun began to scorch people, burning their skin. After a while, his body was soaked with sweat.

Lin Ze stood in the sun for a while, and the people in the square in front of the station had almost dispersed, and Yu Cheng's fat figure could not be seen. He couldn't help but feel guilty: Did he not receive the telegram, or did he remember the wrong date?

His mouth was burning with heat and his eyes were black, so he had to drag his luggage and hide in a cool place for a while. Looking at the beggars begging in the square, he murmured in his heart: There is not a penny in his pocket now, what if Yu Cheng

If you forget about him, what will happen next? Is it possible that he also goes to beg for food?

It’s really nice to be at home for a thousand days, but everything is difficult when going out.

He stared at every fat man walking in front of the station with his eyes wide open, for fear of missing Yu Cheng.

At this time, an older lady wearing a headscarf fifty steps away from him caught his attention. When he was leaving the station, the older lady stopped him and asked him if he could stay in a hotel and only needed six yuan to take care of the food. Seeing him shaking his head, he asked

I followed him relentlessly and made ink marks about ten times, and kept hinting that his "service is absolutely excellent". I didn't leave until I saw him sitting in the square.

At that time, Lin Ze focused all his attention on the people picking him up and the various pick-up signs, and didn't even think about the meaning of the turbaned lady.

At this moment, he was sitting in the shade enjoying the coolness. He always saw this woman wandering around soliciting customers before he realized something was wrong with her——

Every time she asked someone for accommodation, she would always choose single men, and she would glance furtively at their clothes pockets and luggage. When she saw someone stopping to bargain, she immediately beamed, looking like a very honest person.

If that person waved her hand to drive her away, she would spit and curse behind her, gnashing her teeth, acting like a shrew.

After a while, she saw a young man coming out of the platform carrying a bag on his shoulders. Her eyes immediately lit up. He greeted him with a smile on his face and promoted his hotel. He carried bags for others and asked for help. The more enthusiastic he was, the better.

Enthusiasm.

Then, when the man wasn't paying attention, she winked at the man standing behind her, and the man followed her from a distance.

Lin Ze had just lost money, and now he looked at everyone like a thief, especially the behavior of the woman in headscarf and the man, who looked like they were cooperating. He thought to himself: No, it seems that this brother has taken advantage of others, and now he will try again

Unable to sit still, I pushed her up with my luggage.

He originally wanted to expose the hijab woman directly, but remembering what happened on the train, he suppressed it and waited for them to take action, so as to avoid being beaten up again.

Several people turned around and walked into a bungalow.

"Sister, how far is it? Isn't it just opposite the station? Why did you bring me here?"

The young man following the woman in headscarf finally realized something was wrong and stopped and refused to leave.

"Brother, just take a few steps and you'll be home. Let me tell you, it's safer for you to stay in my house than in any guest house or hotel!"

The young man's expression changed, he snatched the package that the woman in headscarf was carrying and said:

"Your home? Forget it, I won't go!"

The woman with the headscarf looked embarrassed. At this time, the man behind her walked up to the intersection and blocked the young man's way, swaying his arms and threatening the young man:

"What's the matter? I brought you here on a hot day and helped you carry your luggage. You can't just stay here if you can't help it. No way!"

The young man probably didn't expect this to happen, so he said with a sad face: "Brother, what do you think?"

"It took us so long to bring you here, and you can't stop us when it's over. It delayed us from soliciting customers to make money, so you can't justify not giving us some compensation, right?"

Probably intimidated by the man's rugged appearance, the young man murmured for a long time and then discussed: "How much do you want, is fifty cents okay?"

The man glared, hugged his arms and yelled: "You are sending a beggar to work! Either you give me six yuan today and live here, or you give me five yuan and get out of here, don't waste my time!"<

/p>

The young man was so frightened that he almost cried: "Brother, I don't want you to be like this. The price I negotiated with this elder sister just now was five yuan for housing. Why did the price increase again at your place?"

Lin Ze saw clearly this time. This man and woman were obviously ripping off money. They looked like a couple. The young man was frightened. If he really followed him into the den of thieves, the money and things would have to be stolen by the couple.

The couple snatched them away, so he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The police are coming, the police are coming!"

The man and woman suddenly heard the word "police" and ran into the alley without paying attention to the young man. The young man didn't react yet and stood there blankly, staring blankly at Lin Ze who suddenly jumped out.

Lin Ze was afraid that the extortion couple would come back again, so he took the young man and ran out:
Chapter completed!
