Chapter 54: Dead Taoist Friends Will Not Die but Poor Taoists
Zhang Wanru drove her car almost around the city, but never lost sight of the taxi following her.
She drove her car and observed the pedestrians and vehicles on the road, gaining a better understanding of the city. With the passage of time, all walks of life are booming, and this is also the forefront of accepting new things.
Although it has experienced the baptism of war again and again, it still cannot stop the influx of many people with dreams of getting rich. Whether it is an era of turmoil and demons, or today's era of social harmony and progress, this city will never lack gold diggers and speculators.
Surround yourself with hard-working people.
Especially during the war years, underground workers, although there were brothers who were fighting against each other, could unite to defend their country and defend their country. If I had been born in that era, I would not have allowed myself to be slaughtered.
Maybe he will become a heroic hero, or become a member of the underground front.
Just when our Miss Zhang was thinking a lot, the car had already arrived at the hotel parking lot.
She looked around before getting out of the car, then quickly put all three gold bars under the leather cushion of the trunk, pressed a woven bag with stones on top, then grabbed the stones into the backpack she was carrying, her face
A playful smile appeared on his face.
I am still thinking proudly in my heart, since you want to play, I will let you have a good time while having fun.'
After weighing nearly eight or nine pounds, she closed the trunk, put on her somewhat heavy backpack, and walked toward the hotel lobby.
Walking into the hotel lobby, he didn't expect to see the man with glasses at a glance.
At this time, he not only changed his clothes, but also changed his glasses to a pair of black frames. He was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper pretending to be waiting for someone.
The corner of Zhang Wanru's mouth curled up slightly, and she thought, "Small, as long as I observe carefully, even Monkey Sun will see through your seventy-two changes."
She pretended to walk by him casually, and she looked like a young student with fair skin, an oval face, and regular facial features but with a pair of sneaky triangular eyes, and the small eyeballs kept chattering.
He thought he was hiding it well, but in fact, Zhang Wanru had started paying attention to him since he was in the gold shop, because his expression was different from that of the staff there. He must be a gentleman, and he went there to find a target.
Zhang Wanru went to the counter and explained the reserved room. After taking the room key, she went directly to the restaurant and ordered a portion of fried spicy chicken, a portion of pomfret, and a bowl of rice. She ate slowly and pretended to be very polite.
She casually observed the surroundings and saw that no one seemed strange except for the man with glasses who looked over at her from time to time.
After eating, Zhang Wanru took the elevator to the twelfth floor and found her room. Then she put her backpack next to the pillow at the head of the bed. She closed the curtains, went to the bathroom and took a shower. She went straight to bed and fell asleep without changing her pajamas.
She had already made a plan in her mind. The man with glasses would not make any move before eleven o'clock. She had to be energetic and be ready to catch the monster in the second half of the night.
It's best if this guy can retreat from the difficulties. If he doesn't know what's going on, I'll reluctantly teach this unlucky boy a lesson so that he can remember that not just anyone can rob him.
Just as Zhang Wanru expected, at twelve o'clock, there were several knocks on the door of the room. Zhang Wanru woke up immediately, knowing that this was someone asking for directions. She was sure that the man with glasses was putting his ear to the door and listening to what was going on inside.
movement.
She thought of a play called Three Crossroads.
She got up with bare feet and put a water glass at the door, with half a glass of water still in it.
I don’t remember what book I read about it. When a thief breaks into a house to steal, he often sees that the owner has made anti-theft arrangements. If he can defuse the problem and still steal items, he will feel more accomplished and relax his vigilance.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding between the owner and the thief. The thief's understanding is that the owner will sleep peacefully after making arrangements. But the thief thinks that as long as the owner removes the arrangements, everything will be fine. Miss Zhang will be given glasses today.
Men should learn a lesson, and some people will do the opposite.
Zhang Wanru moved a stool and sat in the darkness, holding three slippery stones in her hand. She closed her eyes and listened attentively to the movement outside the door. She heard the sounds of people moving outside the door from time to time, and the regular sound of snoring in the next room.
There are also strange sounds made by men and women doing exercises on the bed.
More than two hours passed unknowingly, and there was still no movement at the door that she was staring at. Zhang Wanru felt that she was a little overwhelmed. Maybe she made a mistake in judgment, read too many novels, and wanted to catch monsters.
Just after she went to the bathroom and was about to go to bed, she heard the door lock click and a slight sound entered her ears. She immediately became alert and stood behind the curtain, waiting for the bespectacled man to open the door.
Overturn the cup. He can act the moment he looks down.
Unexpectedly, this guy was still a veteran. He had already discovered the cup the moment he pushed the door open. Before he even entered the door, he quietly moved the cup to the side with one foot, out of reach, and then gently
Walking in the door, he looked towards the bed.
Zhang Wanru had already disguised her bed as flawless.
He took out a watermelon knife from behind and walked directly to the bed. When he saw the black backpack, he tiptoed over and picked it up. He glanced at the quilt before turning around and leaving.
Zhang Wanru was hiding in the darkness like a ghost, with everything in sight. She raised her right hand and hit his wrist with a watermelon knife with a stone. Then she ducked to his side and punched him in the abdomen.
The man with glasses was like a big shrimp. He had let go of the backpack he was carrying because of the pain. He held his stomach with both hands and was so painful that he was sweating profusely and did not dare to shout. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Auntie, please show mercy."
Zhang Wanru slapped him twice on the face and said in a sinister voice: "You have had a hard time today. You have been following me for so long. Have you woken up from your dream of getting rich? Do you want me to call the police or get beaten up?"
The bespectacled man kowtowed and kept begging, "I was blinded by wealth and had evil thoughts. I didn't expect to offend a master like you. Please let me go this time."
Zhang Wanru didn't want to alarm anyone, so she snorted coldly and squeezed out a cold word from between her teeth: "Do you still want a next time? You'd better not let me see you again. I will never show mercy to you again. Get out!"
Zhang Wanru looked at this coward and rushed out of the room. She locked the door and got into bed again. She blocked the episode from her mind and soon fell into a dream.
After getting up in the morning, the sky was gloomy and the whole city seemed to be wrapped in dark clouds, which made people feel very depressed.
Zhang Wanru finished washing up, checked out, went to the restaurant to have breakfast, and drove towards the seaside. She felt that the crisis was over and she could enjoy this beautiful coastal city.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that she returned to the previous gold shop. She repackaged the four gold bars she had prepared and put them into a backpack with stones. She got off the car and looked around and walked directly into the shop. This time it was a
The young clerk took her into an office.
Zhang Wanru read the curiosity and doubt in the clerk's eyes.
He smiled at him and asked, "Do you think I won't come over today?"
The young clerk just smiled.
Zhang Wanru said lightly: "Just a little thief."
The clerk felt that the lady was a bit too brazen and hesitated to speak, but finally said: "It's best not to let down your guard until you get home. They won't give up easily."
Zhang Wanru deeply believed what he said.
The man with glasses saw two large yellow croakers, which cost more than 300,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money. Not only was it dangerous to rob a bank, but he might not be able to get such a big harvest. What's more, what if he only dealt with a weak little woman like himself?
Don't worry about it this time, take action as soon as possible, and you will feel at ease.
She looked at him with grateful eyes and said in the local language: "I know. Thank you."
Soon the door was pushed open and two middle-aged men walked in. They appraised Zhang Wanru's four gold bars and finally told them the transaction price.
Zhang Wanru agreed to the transaction, and after going through all the procedures, Zhang Wanru received 950,000 yuan in cash. They were also very polite and packed it in a delicate suitcase.
Zhang Wanru walked out of the gold shop and drove away, checking the rearview mirror from time to time to see if there were any followers. It wasn't until she came to an agricultural bank on the outskirts of the city, walked in and deposited cash into her bank card that she finally felt relaxed. After this transaction, it was considered
Once you have experience, go to Qingcheng and sell the other two before heading back home.
While Miss Zhang was relaxing her vigilance, the man with glasses had already found three helpers. In a white Santana and a gray van not far away from her, there were four pairs of eyes staring at her. Since she
He has been following her car since he came out of the gold shop.
Zhang Wanru drove to the famous snack street, bought many famous local pastries, and put them in the trunk of the car with her favorite souvenirs. She also hid the remaining two gold bars under the mat. This time there were some more gifts on top.
.The backpack with the stones is always with me.
She found a restaurant with her backpack on her back. After having lunch, she drove and put her backpack on the passenger seat. She also grabbed some stones and put them into her jacket pocket. She murmured in her heart, be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.
It's better to make some preparations in advance. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If that guy doesn't open your eyes, then don't be polite to him. This young lady is kind-hearted in nature and is not someone to be slaughtered. She won't defend herself if she should.
hesitate.
Zhang Wanru drove along the highway in the direction of the national highway. When she was about twenty kilometers out of the city, it soon started to rain lightly.
She saw patches of rapeseed fields in the fields, with bright yellow flowers, like beautiful carpets. When she opened the car window, the cool breeze carried the drizzle and entered the car. She smelled the fragrance of the flowers.
There was a pond at the edge of the field, and if it weren't for the ditches on both sides of the road, she would have stopped the car and walked over to admire it.
Just when Zhang Wanru was looking at the sea of rapeseed flowers, two cars drove up quickly from behind. One of them, a white Santana, drove not far in front of her car and made a sharp turn, blocking her way.
Another car was driving parallel to hers.
Zhang Wanru was caught off guard and almost collided with Santana who was blocking the front.
Then I saw Santana's car door open. Two men got out quickly, including the man with glasses.
Zhang Wanru was furious in her heart. Your mother's ghost is still lingering. I have let you go, but you still refuse to let me go. She sneered in her heart, knowing that they were still here for the gold bars.
She stuffed her bank card under the seat cushion. She couldn't sit in the car, it would be no different from waiting to die. She grabbed a handful of stones and put them in her pocket, then grabbed the backpack on the passenger seat.
I opened the door and quickly got out of the car, then pressed the remote control lock to lock the door, and ran towards the front of the road.
She wanted to use a roundabout tactic to delay, because two people also got out of the car blocked next to them, holding watermelon knives in their hands. She could not confront them head-on.
The four of them were surprised to see Zhang Wanru running away regardless of the car, and then they chased after her.
After Zhang Wanru ran nearly 100 meters, she felt the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer. She threw her backpack towards the pond with all her strength. It was probably thrown out for more than 20 meters. By coincidence, it landed right on the edge of the pond.
The two people running in front jumped across the ditch and ran towards the backpack. The two people behind were still chasing after them.
Zhang Wanru turned her head and saw the two people looking for backpacks. A smile appeared on her lips as if a conspiracy had succeeded. She thought to herself, you idiots are really capable, but you still want to kill people and get goods and then leave immediately. Huh! Don't even think about it.
She turned around, looked at the person who was chasing her, and threw out four stones. One of the stones hit the bridge of the nose of the person running in front and was embedded in it. The man with glasses behind him was particularly clever, and he ducked and hid in front of him.
Behind the person, he also escaped the fate of being hit. It vividly shows that the dead Taoist friend will not die but the poor Taoist.
I saw the machete in the man's hand in front fell to the ground, and he covered his face with his hands and started to cry.
It was too late, but it was so fast. Zhang Wanru didn't waste any time. She stepped out with her long legs and quickly came to them. Just when the man with glasses looked at his companions in shock, a fist filled with strong wind struck.
It hit him firmly on the face, and the bespectacled man immediately covered his face with his hands and howled like his companions, because his face immediately blossomed, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth.
Zhang Wanru also took special care of him, punching hard and accurately, coupled with the inertia of running towards him, which directly caused him to fall backwards. Our Miss Zhang was really angry and did not dare to neglect at all.
He stepped forward and quickly dislocated their arms, causing their howls to change in tone, just like the howls of wolves in the forest.
Zhang Wanru looked at the two people who were going to get the backpack. One of them had already got it. The other person heard the cry for help from his companion and was returning quickly. The person who had grabbed the backpack was about to open it and see his loot happily when he heard two people on the road.
He stopped screaming like a wolf howling in time and ran back quickly.
When they ran to the ditch, they saw that their companions were lying on the ground in pain. The woman in front of them was not injured at all, and looked at them with very frightening eyes. Their scalps were numb, as if they had been hit by a gun.
It seemed like a ferocious beast was staring at him, and he shuddered. He walked forward quickly, and stopped as he was about to jump over the ditch.
Then the two of them looked at each other, each looking at the backpack, as if communicating with their eyes. Should they fight or flee? Faced with the strength of this woman, it was impossible to save the defeat with the strength of the two of them. Anyway,
The loot has been obtained.
At this time, a car was approaching on the highway. From a distance, he saw a fight here. He stopped the car, turned around at a very fast speed, and drove off.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhang Wanru didn't want to deal with them anymore, so she decided to leave the place as quickly as possible.
She could already see that the two of them wanted to leave their companions and run away. If that happened, she would really not be able to catch up with them. In order to lure them over, she pretended to be scared and took a few steps back timidly.
The two of them thought that Zhang Wanru was really afraid of them, so they quickly jumped over the ditch on the roadside and rushed towards Zhang Wanru. Not only did Zhang Wanru get closer to them, she quickly threw two stones, one of which hit the wrist of the man running in front who was holding a knife.
, and the man who was holding on to the backpack was still dreaming of getting rich, but one of the stones was embedded in her left eye. This time it was really sad.
A miserable howl broke through the rain curtain and spread into the distance, like the howl of a slaughtered pig, and the backpack in his hand fell to the ground.
Zhang Wanru didn't care at all. She quickly came to the frightened and stunned man and knocked him unconscious with a strike of her palm. Then she kicked him a few times to vent her anger.
Zhang Wanru ignored it. The person who was hit in the eye was rolling on the ground in pain. She took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the scene and the faces of the four people. Then she came to the man with glasses.
He knelt down and asked coldly: "Are you left-handed?"
The man with glasses looked at Zhang Wanru like a devil. He was so frightened that he trembled. He quickly and timidly replied: "No."
Zhang Wanru picked up two stones on the side of the road, grabbed his right hand and pressed it against the stone, and smashed it down with another stone, once, twice, three times, ignoring the bespectacled man's wails, and hit it five times.
Finally, the hands were mangled with blood, revealing the miserable bones.
Zhang Wanru said viciously: "I told you not to let me see you again, but you didn't listen. You called these people here, right? You will be left-handed from now on. Go back and practice your left hand, and then go slide the door and pick the lock."
.”
Zhang Wanru got up, walked to the Santana blocking the front of her car, opened the car door, with the car key still inserted in it, found a stone and put it on the gas pedal. After starting the car, the car drove into the water.
In the ditch.
Zhang Wanru rummaged through the four people one by one and found four mobile phones, but took nothing else.
She smashed three of the mobile phones with stones on the roadside, took out the chips inside and put them away.
He waved the remaining mobile phone in front of the man with glasses and said: "You should never come after me. You asked for it. You have to thank me for being so kind-hearted. There is no other way.
, because I am a good person. If you cause trouble for me again, I will find out your address from your mobile phone and I won’t mind visiting you one by one."
The bespectacled man and the other person had their arms dislocated and were unable to stand up. They lay on the ground and asked in horror: "You, what do you want?"
"I want to spare you. I have no choice. I don't want to kill anyone. If you anger me, I don't mind giving you a ride. I'm leaving. I'll put this phone on the roadside in front. I hope you will come as soon as possible.
Go search for it and call an ambulance. If you don’t get timely treatment, you may both have regrets. Goodbye!”
After Zhang Wanru got in the car, she started to drive away. After driving about 200 meters away from them, she opened the car window and threw her cell phone to the side of the road. She increased the accelerator and continued to drive forward.
When the car was about to enter the national highway, he stopped the car and dropped the eternally united banner covering the license plate. Thinking that the Public Security Bureau could find him based on the location of his mobile phone, he also threw the three mobile phone chips on the roadside.
Instead of driving to Qingcheng as originally planned, we got on the national highway and drove towards Fengcheng.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, our Miss Zhang's round trip of more than a thousand kilometers and the adventure of more than two days finally came to an end.
When she got home, in order not to disturb her family, she put on her slippers after entering the house, and walked quietly to the bedroom on the second floor. Without caring about anything else, she fell on the bed, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep with her head covered.
Zhang Wanru slept until the afternoon. Her mother-in-law prepared food for her and watched her eat it deliciously.
He smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, eat slowly. I knew it was already midnight when I came back, so I didn't let the children disturb you. Have you been very hard these two days? You are in such a bad mood."
Zhang Wanru hurriedly concealed her smile and said, "Yes, it was a bit hard. I drove most of the night."
Wang Yun hurriedly heated up another cup of milk for her and put it on the table, saying: "After eating, go take a shower and then go back to the room to catch up on some sleep. Driving at night is even harder."
On the third morning, Zhang Wanru ran to the park and met Mr. Chen like a good boy and good student.
Mr. Chen had a sullen face and asked, "Are you always unable to practice well and are embarrassed to come to see me? It's been more than a month."
Without saying a word, Zhang Wanru took out two stones from her jacket pocket and threw them towards the maple tree about ten meters ahead. She saw that the two stones were firmly embedded in the trunk of the tree.
Then he smiled triumphantly and said, "Hey, it's done."
The corners of the old man's mouth were slightly raised, but he stopped talking.
Zhang Wanru narrated her adventures to the old man. Only by selling gold bars in exchange for a large amount of cash did she complete the story.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen was so shocked that he looked at her without blinking. Then he said: "Don't be complacent, you are still far from a master. You just said you wanted to hit that person in the mouth, but you hit him instead."
on the bridge of my nose, do you know the reason for this?"
Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "I can hit stationary targets pretty well, but I'm not sure about moving them."
"That's right, you should practice flying birds from now on. You must think about the moving speed and direction of the target. We humans walk on two legs, but our body will follow the steps of our legs and will not be a standard straight line.
, but there is a slight deviation. And the bird flies in a straight line, so you have to aim in front of it according to its flying speed."
"Yes, I have also been thinking about this during this time."
Zhang Wanru stretched out her hand for the old man to take a look. Then she said: "I am very busy during this period, but I spend several hours practicing every day. You see, my hands are calloused."
Mr. Chen looked at her as if she was a little aggrieved, ignored her, and said: "The person you met this time is a master of thieves. Thieves are very hateful, and they have also worked hard. Not only are they skilled in techniques,
He is also an expert in psychology. They stand in a crowd and can tell people's occupations, hobbies, living conditions and personalities at a glance. Did you really smash his hand?"
"Yes, he is really hateful. I even forgiven him, but he still entangled his accomplices to hunt me down. I punished them all this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to go out in a few months."
Mr. Chen was secretly worried about how ruthless this girl would be. He didn't expect that she had such a violent side. He also had to admire her courage and wit for not flinching in the face of a powerful enemy.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon that day, Zhang Wanru was lying on the bed, her eyes fixed on the direction of the secret room in the closet. She thought to herself that she could be said to have extraordinary skills. She only took out six gold bars to sell, and she provoked so many ruthless people. What if her ancestors had taken out
If the gold bars are sold, who knows what will happen?
Wealth is a good thing, but it also comes with evil. Only wealth earned with one's own sweat is the most precious, because it is the result of labor washed with one's own blood and sweat.
Forget it, it’s better not to think about the treasure yourself. It’s not easy to keep it at home. When you take it to the provincial capital, you can deposit it in a bank safe.
After making up her mind, she acted as soon as possible. She went downstairs, picked up a suitcase and a few pieces of cloth, returned to the bedroom, locked the door, opened the secret room, took out the two treasure boxes, wrapped the gold bars in cloth, and put them in the travel bag.
box. Then he stuffed the box from another box into a larger backpack.
In the end, only the scroll remained.
She hesitated and wanted to open it and take a look. She heard that calligraphy and painting are very valuable now, and if she sells them, she can raise part of the funds. Besides, she doesn't understand calligraphy and painting, so don't waste everything by improperly storing them. It's better to sell them to someone who knows painting.
Destined people who know how to save are more stable.
She opened the oil paper layer by layer and saw that the inside was wrapped with two layers of silk, and then two layers of rice paper. She thought in her heart that such a collection is definitely a treasure among the genuine products. I don’t know, once it is opened,
Can it still stay the same?
She unfolded the scroll one by one and saw that there were three paintings and one word.
After Zhang Wanru looked at the three paintings, she felt that there was nothing strange about them, they were just more realistic. She didn't pay much attention to them, but she was attracted by the calligraphy.
She remembered that when she was in elementary school, she had copied calligraphy. During her hobby class, she followed the teacher to copy block letters. When her father saw that she could write well, he bought a copybook with this thin gold calligraphy on it.
She was extremely pleasantly surprised when she saw the signature. The calligraphy turned out to be Song Huizong's "Strange Poems on Strange Rocks". She didn't know whether it was authentic or not. Even if he practiced his pen casually, it was also a rare treasure. His brushwork was erratic and fast, and his handwriting was thin and strong.
It is thin without losing its meat. There are obvious traces of hidden peaks, exposed peaks and Tetons at the turning points. The style is quite unique.
She believed that Song Huizong was an incompetent emperor, but he was a master of calligraphy. "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade" came from his mouth.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She wanted to keep this painting forever and keep it as a family heirloom to be passed down to her son in the future. She glanced at the three paintings and had no intention of admiring them, so she restored them to their original state and hid them in the secret room.
.
She had already made up her mind to take her children to visit Ji Yuqing's house after the Spring Festival this year, and she would bring these three paintings with her so that Grandpa Ji could see the authenticity and find a way to sell them.
On this day, Ji Yuqing called and told her that the dormitory building of the Iron and Steel Group was installing solar energy and hoped that she would go and keep an eye on it.
Chapter completed!
