In the middle of the night, Lin Qi and Li Yuanchao were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by a call. They suddenly turned over and sat up, and found that the caller was actually an elder brother in the same room. They had sat together and talked before. According to him, he said that he could not stay in his hometown.
Come down here and find some work.
I usually wear very shabby clothes and live frugally, but who would have thought that something like this would happen to me.
"It's over, it's all over!" I saw the elder brother holding his head in pain and muttering to himself.
"Have you forgotten where you put it? Do you want to look for it again?" Li Yuanchao couldn't help but suggest.
There are a total of eight beds in one room. There are many people and they are all men, so the door is not locked, and no one cares about people coming in and out. Besides, the eldest brother is the poorest in food and clothing. The thief just wants to find someone, so
It's impossible to keep an eye on him.
"I've looked through them all, and there's nothing there."
Someone suggested: "Why don't you call the police?"
The man raised his head suddenly, not knowing what to say, but finally hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Soon the police came over, but when they asked, they were shocked. The other party actually lost more than a thousand yuan!
The public security officers briefly asked about the situation, checked each bed, and found no large amounts of money. They said they would be notified as soon as possible if there was any situation, and then left.
Everyone stood in the middle of the ground and looked at each other for a while. Lin Qi took the initiative to take out ten yuan from his pocket and put it on the table: "Let's consider it as fare for going home."
When Li Yuanchao saw this, he also took out five yuan from his body: "That's right, it's not easy when you're away from home. Let's see if we can help as much as we can."
One after another, people took out one or two yuan, and soon several people in the room had collected more than twenty yuan.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Lin Guodong took the money and thanked everyone gratefully.
The next day, Lin Qi called Chen Lishu. First, she talked about the situation, and then mentioned the electronic watch.
Chen Lishu didn't expect that he could still get this thing, and she was surprised and happy.
"I'm not here either. You can take the amount of money you need from your bankbook. As for the rest, you can make your own decisions. You can put in whatever you see that you think is good, but the premise is that you must pay attention to safety. If necessary, you would rather not take anything as long as everyone is safe.
Just come back."
Chen Lishu was very relieved when Lin Qi was doing things.
"I understand, Sister Chen."
After Lin Qi hung up the phone, he followed Li Yuanchao in a car to the fishing village he mentioned. Neither of them noticed that there was a figure following them not far or near behind them.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when the two got off the bus, and it would be past eleven o'clock in the evening when the ship would dock. The two of them went to the shore to get familiar with the terrain carefully, and after dark, they found a place to wait.
At 90 o'clock in the evening, four or five people came over one after another. No need to ask, everyone had the same purpose, and in the spirit of doing more things than doing less, no one talked during the period.
As time passed little by little, the sound of a motor suddenly came from the distant sea. Everyone was shocked and stood upright to look into the distance.
Unfortunately, the visibility was not good at night, and the fishing boats did not light up the lights, so we could not see anything at all.
About ten or twenty minutes later, a blurry outline finally appeared in the field of vision. Two people couldn't wait to run to the shore. Lin Qi and Li Yuanchao looked at each other and followed them.
As we got closer, two people jumped down from the deck of the fishing boat, each carrying two large bags. Some who didn't understand the rules wanted to use a flashlight, but they were stopped rudely.
"Come one by one. Does anyone want a mechanical watch worth fifty-one?"
"I, I want it!" Someone soon echoed and stood in front to pay for the goods.
"Why are mechanical watches so cheap?" Lin Qi couldn't help but curiously asked in a low voice.
Li Yuanchao: "The imitation ones are incomparable to the real ones."
"...The electronic watch costs ten yuan, does anyone want it?"
"Yes, yes." Li Yuanchao immediately pulled Lin Qi over and took out five hundred yuan from his pocket: "Give me fifty."
Someone else echoed: "I want twenty."
After receiving the money, the other party looked at Lin Qi: "What about you?"
"I want them all."
"Eighty, get eight hundred yuan."
Lin Qi quickly paid, and the man gave it to Lin Qi together with the snakeskin bag.
Lin Qi and Li Yuanchao checked the goods and made sure there were no problems before leaving in a hurry. Then Li Yuanchao bought dozens more lipsticks. There are many beautiful women in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, who are fashionable and beauty-loving. These things are all from the other side of Xiangjiang.
Don't worry about not being able to sell it.
"...The newly arrived electric iron can be used to curl long hair by just turning on the electricity. It is convenient and easy to use. It costs the same ten yuan and there are only fifty of them in total. Does anyone want it?"
Lin Qi's mind changed slightly when she heard the other party's introduction: "Is this thing safe? Will it burn people?"
"It only has a few dozen volts of current, so it's absolutely safe and easy to use."
Although the other party said so, no one in mainland China had ever used the electric iron, and for a while no one came forward. Anyway, other things are also in hot demand, so this one is not missing.
Lin Qi felt that this thing would definitely be popular, so she thought about it and said, "Can it be cheaper?"
"We worked hard to get this, and the price is the same."
"No one has tried this. I took the risk to buy it. I want all the nine dollars, otherwise I can only get twenty first."
They originally only sold wholesale, but they didn't have the time to get off the boat and sell them one by one. They didn't know when they would be able to cash it in. The other party hesitated for a moment, and then threw the snakeskin bag containing the iron into the forest.
At the feet: "Here you go."
Lin Qi took out the money and just counted four hundred and five and handed it over when several lights suddenly came from the distance. Everyone changed their colors instantly. A moment ago, they were shouting about buying and selling goods. The two people who got off the boat reacted fastest and grabbed the money without selling it.
After finishing the two bags, he rushed to put them on: "Quick, start the boat!"
Everyone fled in all directions, and Li Yuanchao and Lin Qi ran east and west toward the north slope.
During the day, they had already stepped a little better. The terrain at that end was undulating and the grass was high, making it the most suitable place for hiding.
"Stop, don't run!" The law enforcement officers who suddenly appeared were very fast. It didn't take long for them to rush to the shore. Some people panicked and jumped into the water with their goods and people in panic. They were quickly caught.
Arrive ashore.
Lin Qi and Li Yuanchao were heading north. Just when they were about to get close to the grass, Lin Qi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and pulled him back: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Li Yuanchao saw him stop and stretched out his hand to pull him away: "You're already in a hurry, so why are you hesitating? Run quickly. If we get caught by those people, we'll get the good news."
"That's not right." Lin Qi turned around and signaled Li Yuanchao to look back: "Look at those people, they are only chasing people in the other two directions, not towards us."
