Chapter 121 The Old Thousand Cemetery(1/2)
Old Mr. Wu threw it away.
The group of beggars began to make a slight commotion.
Although no one went to pick it up.
But many beggars couldn't help but look at the place where the jewelry was thrown.
There was greed in his eyes.
They were tempted.
But still no one moved.
There are more and more people watching the excitement on the roadside.
There was an aunt in her fifties, looking at yellow and orange jewelry.
She couldn't hold it back and went straight over to pick it up.
As soon as he bent down, he didn't wait to move.
I heard a beggar shout loudly:
"Don't move, that's ours..."
It's better if he doesn't yell.
As soon as he shouted, two beggars rushed over and tried to snatch it away.
People all have a herd mentality.
Sometimes, there are things you clearly don’t want to do, or are embarrassed to do.
When everyone around you does it.
You naturally followed suit.
So are these beggars.
When the first beggar started to move, other beggars immediately swarmed him.
As soon as they moved, the onlookers also started to move.
Everyone wants to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos.
The entire roadside immediately became a mess.
Beggars and spectators mingled together.
They all went crazy looking for jewelry on the ground.
"Run!"
Boss Wu shouted at me.
Then, we quickly got into the crowd.
He ran towards the other side of the road.
Behind him, the middle-aged beggar could be heard shouting curses.
"Stop fucking grabbing them, catch these two bastards!"
But his shouting had no effect.
In order to fight for the jewelry, the beggars and the onlookers started to fight.
While running, I realized that I had underestimated Mr. Wu.
Although he was over sixty years old, his escape speed didn't seem to be much slower than mine.
After running for a while, he seemed to be fine.
His face is not red and he is not breathless.
But I was out of breath and exhausted.
We took a taxi.
As soon as he got in the car, Mr. Wu looked back at the back of the car and said with a smile:
"Exciting, so exciting! I haven't encountered such an exciting thing in many years..."
Seeing how he didn't care, I stared at him fiercely and asked:
"If you couldn't run away just now and were detained by these beggars, would you still feel excited?"
Boss Wu didn't take it seriously at all. He still laughed and said:
"What are you afraid of? The most I can get is a beating? Don't look at my old arms and legs, I can withstand a beating!"
As he spoke, he patted my shoulder and said:
"You're not bad, kid!"
I didn't understand what he meant.
But I ignored him.
Zhanguantuner is located near the river.
The taxi drove along the riverside road.
When we arrived at the outskirts, we stopped in front of a three-story courtyard.
This small western-style building has a grand appearance and elegant style.
It has more charm than ordinary villas.
Mr. Wu and I got out of the car and just walked to the yard.
The heavy iron door suddenly opened.
I saw a man about forty years old walking out with two people who looked like bodyguards.
As soon as he saw Mr. Old Wu, the man immediately stepped forward and greeted politely:
"Mr. Wu, didn't I say I would send a car to pick you up? Why did you ask me to find you in person? This is a huge sin on my part. Come on, please come in, Mr. Wu..."
It can be felt that this man respects Mr. Wu very much.
Boss Wu was not humble and walked in arrogantly.
When I got to the living room, I took a quick look.
The living room is large and decorated in an antique style.
The furniture is all antique solid wood.
Eight Immortals table, Taishi chair, mahogany sofa.
There are also various antique porcelains placed on the surrounding wall cabinets.
There are several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
I don't understand antique calligraphy and painting, and I can't tell whether it's true or false.
As soon as we sat down, someone brought the brewed tea.
The man exchanged greetings with Mr. Wu, then glanced at me and asked Mr. Wu:
"Mr. Wu, this little brother must be the master of the Thousand Sects you mentioned, right?"
Boss Wu nodded.
The middle-aged man stood up immediately, shook hands with me, and said politely:
"Hello, Chen Yongqing. I'm doing some business on the river in Zhanguantun'er. This time, I have to thank my brother! May I ask my brother's name?"
"The sixth day of the lunar month!"
I shook hands with him.
But I was a little confused.
Boss Wu told me before that he came to Zhanguantun'er to help him play a bet with someone.
I have already promised him this matter before.
But looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case.
What the hell is this old guy doing?
Chen Yongqing also noticed that I was a little confused.
He then looked at Old Boss Wu and asked cautiously:
"Mr. Wu, didn't you tell Brother Chu what to do?"
"I didn't say it! Just talk to him..."
Mr. Lao Wu took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.
Sure enough, this old guy lied to me again.
