Chapter Eighty-Seven: Picking the Skylight
When it comes to snitches, everyone will definitely immediately think of several representative characters from legends. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOne is "Drum Flea" Shi Qian, one is "Sai Mao Sui" Yang Xiangwu, and the other is probably "Swallow" Li San.
And judging from their commonality, just by virtue of the fact that these people are all heroes of martial arts and flying eaves and walls, we can know how high the people's evaluation of "snitch" is.
But some people will probably say that these people are all made-up characters in the story, so how can they be counted?
Okay, so let's talk about the reality.
In fact, if you want to be a "successful" "snitch", you need to master far more skills than these "celebrities". Maybe the martial arts may not be very strong, but every step from "stepping on the plate", "entering the house", "finding things", "straining" to "retreating" is a unique secret.
And these skills require not only hard work, but also spirituality. Because it involves a wide range of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, psychology and ergonomics, it is highly scientific. So if you weren't the best among people, you wouldn't be able to "fly" at all.
Let's take a concrete example. In terms of the way Hong Yanwu intends to enter the house from the roof, this is called "picking the skylight" in the jargon, and it is often used by the "snitch" who are slightly less skilled.
The specific steps are that the burglar must first go up to the house, then lift the tiles and beams, make a hole in the roof, and then make the rope go down to the house to steal things. And when leaving, the skylight had to be decorated so that the layman could not see any traces before he finished his work.
Don't look at such a simple job, it involves a lot of technical requirements. It is said that thieves who do this kind of "drilling" must practice a kind of light body technique. In addition to being useful when going up and down the house, the most important thing is to be silent when moving on the roof.
In addition, in the past, most of the roofs of bungalows were made of Korean paper paste by shacklers, and if ordinary people did not have this kind of kung fu, it would be a hole when they went up, and it would be good if they did not fall down, let alone theft.
In addition, the more clever "snitch" also has to practice a kind of "bone shrinking soft body technique". This kind of kung fu practice is naturally more demanding. First of all, a collar of mats should be rolled into the thickness of a pot lid and a tea tray, and then placed on the table.
But even if you practice to this level of passing by in one drill, even if you have just practiced halfway, you have to continue to practice to be able to go back. If you really want to practice a full set, you have to use two hands to support the ground, first retreat, and then use two legs to enter the seat tube again, and put it back on. And once this kind of kung fu is practiced, it can be done in the blink of an eye by burrowing into the house from the window chimney.
Why, some people don't believe it and say that it has been blown over?
Let's take an example, in 1988, a high-end clothing store in Wangfujing was looted by the "snitch". When inspecting the scene, the police were puzzled by the fact that they could not find the way in which the criminals could enter. In fact, the thief's method of stealing at that time was to pry open the exhaust fan, and then use this soft body technique to drill through the exhaust outlet.
Speaking of which, it is clear that it is easy to be a "snitch"? Not only do you have to have a good kung fu, but at least you have to understand the structure of the house and plan the way in and out.
And Hong Yanwu, this kid, is purely a "stupid bold" with neither professional skills nor professional knowledge, he is just stunned. Therefore, he soon encountered a big problem.
It turned out that when he took off a few tiles at the back of the house, and removed a layer of waterproof linoleum and a layer of waterproof soft mud mixed with straw, he found that there was a dense layer of rafters underneath these things. There was only a twenty centimeter gap between the rafters, and he couldn't get into it at all.
It is impossible to say that this kid does not rub the fire, how can he waste his efforts when he finally goes to the house? So he opened dozens of dang tiles one after another, but what he didn't expect was that there was such a thing everywhere under the roof tiles.
Hong Yanwu didn't bring anything except the rope, he couldn't move it, and he couldn't pry it. In this case, he couldn't help but feel a sense of extreme loss, and he couldn't help but retreat in his heart. But he thought about it again, what should Chang Xianzhang do if he left like this?
So, in this contradiction of wanting to be a hero and being afraid of difficulties, he repeatedly fought a lot of mental struggles, and finally made a decision to take one of the two things according to the actual situation.
In order to be worthy of his conscience, he had to lift all the tiles on the back wall of the command room and look at them, if it was the same everywhere, then it was the right thing to do.
Maybe God is also merciful to Chang Xianzhang's unwarranted sin. In short, after Hong Yanwu lifted the roof tile in the corner of the right end, a great good thing happened. It turned out that there was one less rafter here. Don't look at the distance of less than sixty centimeters, but for a child of his age, it is very easy to get into.
So overjoyed, Hong Yanwu tied the hemp rope around his waist, then found a strong beam to wrap the hemp rope around, and then grabbed one end of the rope head with his right hand and drilled into the ridge. Needless to say, he did this to prevent the roof from sinking, and made an insurance measure for himself.
And the next thing is naturally much easier, Hong Yanwu took advantage of the skylight, vaguely found that the skylight on the roof of the shed was less than two meters away, and then, he crawled forward and climbed over, stretched out his hand to open the skylight on the roof of the shed, and finally, he used both hands to grasp the hemp rope around the wooden beam to hang himself down, and landed firmly on the ground.
Not to mention, the whole process from entering the roof to finally landing took only ten minutes, and it was surprisingly smooth, and in the end, Hong Yanwu not only got the pictorial in his hand peacefully, but also just like what was written in "Water Margin", even the sound of his landing did not come out at all. The finishing touches are not a problem, as the rope is simply removed from the beams and the window is opened from the inside. The only downside was that he was covered in dirt, dirt, and cobwebs.
But speaking of which, we have to tell the truth, in fact, Hong Yanwu, this kid is simply very lucky today. Because, the reason why he was able to do this step at this point, in addition to the matter of the rafters was an accident, at least three points were also pure luck.
First, when dismantling bricks and prying, Hong Yanwu's movements were not small, that is, he hid behind the roof, and no one could see him on the playground. In addition, it was time for class soon, so this kid was not discovered.
Second, Hong Yanwu was lucky that he didn't fall off when he crawled on the roof. Because the ceiling at that time was made of straw and reed foil materials, the load-bearing capacity was very poor, and it was estimated that it was because the skylight was very close, and this kid was skinny, and his crawling posture was low, and there was no accident when the load-bearing was diluted.
Third, Hong Yanwu's insurance measures to grasp the hemp rope around the beam are also pure nonsense, because he himself does not wear gloves at all, and in the event of an accident, the sudden friction force will have to let him go. So, it's just his own whim.
It's just that these problems didn't happen after all, so in Hong Yanwu's opinion at that time, he did a surprisingly beautiful job, so he didn't even care about rubbing this dirty body.
And just after the stove that threw the pictorial into the house was burned, this kid couldn't help but be proud, and completely ignored whether the surrounding environment was suitable, and actually put on a posture of "monkey scratching his ears", and shook his head and recited the recitation of the Peking Opera "Time Migration and Thief Armor" that he heard from Chang Xianzhang.
"I have a high skill in stealing, and the chicken and dog are actually wonderful. The cornices are as fast as a god, and it is really clever to dig the wall and pick up the wall. The ghosts who enter the house do not know, and it is difficult to know the people who dump the boxes and steal the cage. The official title was originally a thief, and the nickname was called the flea on the drum......"
In this way, Hong Yanwu risked his life as if he had hit a big luck, and he achieved incredible success. And this special experience of "drilling into the sky and stealing books" also remained in his memory forever as the most proud secret of his life.
Even many years later, when the VCD of "Mission Impossible" had just entered the mainland, an acquaintance told Hong Yanwu about how amazing the scene in the movie "Mission Impossible" in which Tom Cruise hung a tightrope to steal secrets. Unexpectedly, his reaction was just a nonchalant smile, and then he told the other party in a surprising voice, "Foreign devils don't have much imagination, and that's all left over from my nine years old." ”
