After Mr. Peng Zhu left, I took the jade pendant to find the landlord, the landlord took the jade pendant and looked at it, and then went to the bar and took out a magnifying glass and a square silk cloth, and carefully looked at the lock-like jade pendant. After a while, I said, "This, the gentleman gave it?" I pointed to the tassel knot and said to him, "See for yourself." When he saw this, he carefully put the jade pendant into the silk cloth, wrapped it carefully, and asked me, "Is this Mr. Peng Zhu?" He swallowed his saliva, and muttered alone: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it turns out that Mr. Peng Zhu is still alive." I asked, "What's wrong?" and he looked at me and said, " This Mr. Pengzhuo, in the stone carving and calligraphy and painting attainments are quite profound, I was fortunate to collect some of his calligraphy and paintings, but he is a lonely person, he said that good calligraphy and painting is for everyone to see, he does not like the circle of those who look at the price of the word, so offended a lot of people, and therefore his calligraphy and painting price has not been very high, this person is not very famous, but there are still a lot of people in the circle like him, in recent years there are no longer his works, we all thought he was gone, I didn't expect to meet him here, no wonder I heard his accent is not like Guilin。 I looked at him with disdain: "Isn't there a lot less of your Beijing accent after coming to Guilin?" He gave me a blank look, and continued to look at the jade pendant.

Mr. Peng Zhu would come to the bar every day, and every time the landlord would have a drink with him. Since the introduction of these liquors, the bar's business has also improved a lot, and the sales of these liquors have increased significantly. And the arrival of Mr. Peng Zhu also made us accustomed to it, until one day, the seat was still empty at seven o'clock, and the landlord was anxious, and he was anxious about the warm wine on the stove.

We don't know where he has gone, and we don't know where his family lives, but the landlord mutters from time to time: "He hasn't finished drinking this jade penny." ”

Every city has an unknown side.

That afternoon, there was an event in the commercial street, and it was crowded outside, and our bar was in the corner of the commercial street, and we were not open yet, so we were playing games in the bar as usual, and a child in tattered clothes with a bowl walked in, and Luo Luo squatted down and asked, "Little friend, what are you doing here?" The child didn't speak, and stretched the bowl over, Luo Luo smiled when he saw this, turned around and took out ten yuan from his wallet and handed it to him and said, "Little friend, come, take it and eat something delicious." I smiled and asked her, "Why are you giving him money?" Rollo stuck out his tongue and said, "Look at him so pitiful, if he is not really desperate, who wants his child to be like this." I shook my head: "You're in trouble." ”

Just as Rollo was about to ask why, the kid had just walked into the bar with more than a dozen children dressed in tatters and holding iron bowls like him. The kid pointed at Rollo and said, "That's the sister." Then the group of children came over and stretched out the bowl to Rollo, and the group of children, both men and women, rushed to reach the bowl in front of Rollo for fear of missing themselves.

I pulled Rollo behind me and shouted at the group of kids, "Let them go, or I'll call the police." After shouting, there was a coughing sound outside the door, and the group of children turned around and ran away. Lin was well-informed and didn't ask anything, but the landlord who had lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven didn't seem to have seen such a scene, and after I sat down, he asked, "What's the situation, beggars?" I shook my head: "Beggar fart, we're in trouble." The landlord asked curiously, "Heh, what's the situation, you can tell me." I smiled and asked, "Why did Rollo give him money just now?" The landlord replied to me, "Won't she say it, if she is not desperate, who wants her children to be like this." I asked, "So many people are desperate, so many children to ask for food?" You shouldn't have encountered such a thing in Beijing, but in the whole country, there are countless such teams, they buy children from human traffickers, or take in those homeless and lost children, or maybe they go to abduct those children whose families are not well cared for, there are many ways for them, as long as they can get it, those children are tools to make money, they let these children come out one by one to ask for money, there are many people like Luo Luo, who are overflowing with maternal love, or maybe they are looking for those couples, or maybe they are looking for a store to do business, as long as they can cause trouble for others, many people are willing to break the bank and avoid disasters, if you give money to one of the children, that child will call his companions, you have to send them one by one, if you don't give it, then you don't want to leave, not to mention their management is very strict, if any child doesn't get the money that day, it may be starvation, of course, starvation is the best punishment, whip smoking, cigarette butts burning, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without them. The landlord slapped the table and scolded: "Damn, this group of people is too inhumane, why don't those children run away?" I pointed out the door: "Do you know that cough came from the door after I shouted just now?" I just shouted to him, those children will be taken with them every time they come out, if someone runs away, they will be arrested before they run far, and if you see those children with disabilities, they don't run away and then come out after being crippled, so do you think anyone dares to run." But you think the police are really vegetarians, they have been targeted for a long time, cunning rabbits, the police just haven't reached the time to arrest yet, once the police are called, these children will inevitably have one or two smart, so the person at the door just now doesn't want to cause trouble. ”

The landlord asked, "Then how do you know this?" I smiled: " When I used to intern at a TV station, I went to interview an interview about the anti-abduction and anti-abduction activities, and that activity invited a victim who was willing to expose the inside story after being rescued, he used to be one of the children in this group, and then he was sixteen years old, and no one would give him money because of sympathy, and then the group of people was afraid of starving him to death, and sold him to a black acrobatic troupe, which drove a truck to perform all over the country, and once passed by a toll booth, and happened to meet the special police on duty, and then he jumped out of the car and fell, and the special police came up to surround him, and he asked the special police for help, and then the acrobatic troupe was served in a potAfter he was rescued, he also found his family, and went to enlist in the army as a soldier for a few years. The landlord asked, "Yes, this young man, what do you mean by us getting into trouble?" I smiled: "We open the door to do business, what we are most afraid of is getting into trouble, think about it, today I am going to smash people's jobs, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, will they spare us?" Rollo asked a little nervously: "Then let's call the police?" I lit a cigarette and replied: "Call the police? Why do we think someone wants to plot against us?" The police are not so idle, first, we have not received any rumors, and what I said about getting into trouble is only a probability event that will happen, and second, we have no substantive evidence, even if what we say is true, but it is only my conjecture. Rollo asked again, "What then?" I put my face in front of her, "Didn't you always want to live with me, move here tonight." Rollo blushed and lowered his head. Lin, who had been silent, walked silently to the bar and took out the two cooking knives we usually use to cut fruit plates, and the landlord slapped the table when he saw this: "Damn, you kid is smart." After saying that, he also walked to the stage and removed the katana he used to decorate, I looked at them and laughed at the stomachache, patted the table and smiled: "You two fools, I guess they haven't been caught yet, you two have been caught for possessing controlled knives." ”

The landlord took the katana and spread it out with both hands: "Then what should I do, I can't let anyone slaughter it, damn, the soil on Tai Sui's head has been shaved up, and the brothers have never been so angry." But Miss Q calmly kept playing with her phone, and I asked, "Aren't you afraid?" She smiled: "You're not afraid of what I'm afraid of." I pointed at her and said to Lin and the landlord with a smile: "Look at you two, you are not as good as a little girl." I beckoned them to come and sit down.

When they sat back down, I said, "Relax, the first trouble I said was that Rollo gave money to a child, and there will be a lot of children coming with it, and the second trouble I said was just to amuse you." The landlord said with a resentful face: "Damn, you are having fun with us." Lin asked, "Then what you just said was a lie to us?" I shook my head: " It's really not, these are all true, but as for whether they will retaliate against us, this is another matter, after all, we haven't done anything practical to smash jobs, not to mention that people like them don't like to make extraneous branches, how to say, it can also be said that the well water does not violate the river water, even if we know, this is not unusual, now people's awareness of anti-abduction is so strong, and the anti-abduction action is now lively, I just said it, they will not cause big trouble because of this little trivial matter. ”

The landlord was unhappy at this time: "Then since we know, should we serve it to them?" I smiled: "You are crazy, people don't mess with you, why are you messing with people, I said, what we want to open a store is to be safe and stable, not to mention whether we can serve it to people, even if you serve it, then if you run one, you can't stand it if you come to smash the glass for you every day, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, you better stop." After listening to me, Miss Q patted the landlord and scolded, "Do you hear me, you give me honesty." The landlord rubbed his head and smirked, "Isn't this trying to fight unevenly?" ”

I smiled evilly and said: "Today there is an event outside, the security guards of the commercial street have also been negligent, so they let them slip in, you want to fight unevenly, turn on your mobile phone location tonight, and then you will follow them secretly, see if you can find their nest, and then call the police, we will save you again, only today to meet them in the event, if you miss it, you don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey." Miss Q rolled her eyes at me: "Don't tease him, when he really goes tonight, I'll find you to compensate my boyfriend." I got into Rollo's arms and smiled at Miss Q and said, "I want to too, but you have to ask the tigress if she agrees." Rollo grabbed me by the ear and pulled me out of her arms: "Who do you say is the tigress? Who is the tigress?
