Chapter 14: Bored Waiting
"Tomorrow night, no! We'll leave in the early hours of the morning the day after tomorrow! ”
The reason why he set off in the early morning of the day after tomorrow is mainly because Zhuang Quan wants to go to see his father the next day, and he has not gone to his father since he was released from prison, in fact, after three years, the resentment in his heart has long dissipated, and for three years, his father has been constantly sending him things, and he has always wanted to communicate with him, and Zhuang Quan knows these things in his heart. Now that I'm about to leave, I'm actually a little uneasy, so I want to see my father.
Zhuang Guodong was checking the quality of new products in the workshop, and when he heard the report of the doorman, he immediately threw down the work in his hand excitedly and ran out. It is very likely that his son has no money in his hand, Lao Zhuang blames himself a little, why didn't he expect that his son has no income now, and he should have given him some money!
"Little power! …… That one...... How are you? Lao Zhuang stood in front of his son, and he didn't know what to say.
"Dad! I'm fine, just to see you, I'm going out for a few days tomorrow! "In contrast, Zhuang Quan is very calm.
"Why do you want to go out? Is there no money, you wait, I'll help you get some! Dad bought another house in the town, so you should move back in the future! Lao Zhuang was very reluctant to let his son come and go out.
"I'm not short of money, I'll come back when I'm done! I'd like to have a meal with you today! Zhuang Quan saw his father's face full of anticipation, and said with some unbearability.
"Good, good! You wait, I'll go get the car! Lao Zhuang was happy to be a little incoherent, but also to drive in person, usually there are full-time drivers in the city to drive, Lao Zhuang's car skills are not good, can only be opened at both ends of the factory at home, and other places will be driven by drivers.
"You bought a car?" Zhuang Quan asked with some surprise.
"It's in the factory, hehe! Your dad is now successful in his career! In the past three years, I have turned the factory into a profit, and now the benefits are stable, my treatment has increased a lot, and my income has also increased! Lao Zhuang said proudly while driving.
"Oh? That's a blessing in disguise! Zhuang Quan said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm originally a person who plays technology, but it's more suitable for me here, it's important to have relationships in today's society, but it's even more important to have technology, Xiaoquan, what are your plans for the future? Continue your studies or get a job? Or you can come to my factory, follow me to learn technology, and take a technician exam in a few years, and now technicians are more popular than college diplomas! Lao Zhuang was very excited to see his son, as if he had endless words.
"Hmmm! Besides, I don't want to read anymore, and I've read almost everything in college! Zhuang Quan shook his head and said.
The car soon drove to Zhuang Guodong's newly bought house, Lao Zhuang was happy, deliberately bought vegetables to cook his own rice, and bought a bottle to celebrate, three years, just waiting for such a day!
The three-bedroom house is simple and fashionably furnished, the home is very clean, the kitchen has been filled with bursts of fragrance, the dexterous people do everything decently, and Lao Zhuang even cooks a very good set of dishes.
"Come on! Dad, a toast to you! Zhuang Quan filled a glass of wine for Lao Zhuang and said.
"Hey! Good, good! Lao Zhuang was a little excited and was about to cry for a moment.
"Dad! Now that you're in good condition, don't you plan to find a companion anymore? "Zhuang Quan's father is only in his forties.
"Hmmm! I didn't think about it, I'm busy with things in the factory every day! There are a lot of people who want to introduce me! There are also a lot of people who introduce you to girlfriends, all of whom are college students! I bought this house just for you! Lao Zhuang said seductively.
"Me? Aren't they afraid that I've just come out of prison? Zhuang Quan asked with some confusion.
"Hey, hey! Your little thing is not a problem, and people are very affordable now! Lao Zhuang shook his head and smiled.
"And don't you regret that divorced woman?" Zhuang Quan also smiled.
"Why don't you regret it? Last year, I brought a family to make trouble with me, clamoring for remarriage, I didn't bother to deal with her, and called 110 to call the police! I wonder how I fell in love with her in the first place! Lao Zhuang said indignantly.
"Huh! Dad, you're still grumpy! Zhuang Quan said a little ridiculously.
"Stinky boy, don't interrupt, are you coming to me? Now skilled workers are still very popular! Lao Zhuang still wanted to tie his son to his side when he went around.
"I'll talk about it when I'm done with this!" Zhuang Quan said vaguely.
"What are you doing now? Mixed with Shan Erhu and these people again? And that Yan Xiaofu and Wei Baobao? You're together again? Don't be foolish? "Lao Zhuang is very unkind to see Zhuang Quan's sworn friends.
"We don't do anything bad?" Zhuang Quan didn't know what to say, but his father's attitude towards Shan Erhu and others made him very unhappy.
"What the hell are you doing? You have to tell me, or I won't worry! Lao Zhuang is really worried that his son will cause any more trouble.
"Hmmm! We're buying some silver dollars out there and selling them later, it's legal! Zhuang Quan had no choice but to make up a story.
"Really? You guys will understand this? Lao Zhuang looked at his son very suspiciously.
"Really, I don't believe you!" Zhuang Quan took out two Yuan Datou and put them on the table.
"Huh? It's really Yuan Datou, will it be imitation? Lao Zhuang picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"We have someone who can identify the authenticity, you can rest assured!" Zhuang Quan said that the sweat is about to come out, and if he asks again, he will be a goof, but fortunately, this is Shan Erhu driving a broken car to pick up Zhuang Quan, and he has just sent the address to Shan Erhu. It's finally time to get out!
Zhuang Guodong looked at the departing dilapidated van at the window, holding the two Yuan Datou left by his son in his hand, and he was full of doubts......
……
Back at home, a few people still went to bed first, waited until the second half of the night to dress up, or drove the car to the town, and then climbed the opposite mountain on foot.
"Whew!"
When he returned to the Republic of China, this time he did not rush to observe the situation in the town, but climbed the mountain in reverse, Zhuang Quan needed a hiding place, especially to hide so many things he brought. Originally, wild beasts were infested with wild beasts in the mountains from time to time, but since the beginning of the battle, wild beasts have fled farther into the mountains.
Zhuang Quan and the others walked almost a kilometer up the mountain, found a relatively hidden place, unloaded the things on their bodies, Zhuang Quan took out the binoculars and began to observe the situation in the town, Shan Erhu and others began to dig a pit, and when they went back, many things needed to be hidden in the pit.
This time it was the beginning of the bitter days, although the coat blanket was prepared, but it was still very cold, it was already December, and now it was sometimes the coldest time of the day. Zhuang Quan also did not allow the fire to be lit, because the light of the fire would attract people's attention, and even the garbage that had been eaten and used had to be put away. A few people wrapped the blankets around their bodies, which was a good point!
Only Zhuang Quan lay there motionless, observing the situation in the town through the telescope. At the same time, I also observed the situation in the town through the scope, and I could see it clearly, but after all, I was not as comfortable as the telescope. Now the men and horses of the golden big tooth have changed into the clothes of the Imperial Association Army and wear big caps.
This time there have been great changes in the town, first of all, the electricity is on, the town is not far from the county seat, last time it was because of the war that the wires were blown up, and now it seems to be repaired, but it is a large family with lights on.
Simple guard towers have been built at various intersections, which are made of wood, more than three meters high, and can stand on top of two people. Because the town is not like the county seat, there are city walls, and there are city gates, and the town is open, so it can only be built to build a guard tower, and there are imperial troops standing guard 24 hours a day. At the same time, there are three groups of patrolling devils and puppet soldiers, patrolling back and forth in the town.
After dawn, Zhuang Quan found that the town had also regained some popularity, all kinds of business began to operate again, there were more people on the street, and the devils and puppet armies were not like at the beginning, wanton looting and killing, it seems that the devils also knew that they would have to stay here for a long time, and they still had to have a certain order. And the common people also need a normal life, so now they are gradually starting to recover some vitality. People from the surrounding villages also began to move in and out of the town to do some business or buy groceries.
However, after observing for a day, I didn't see the shadow of Jin Daya, and even the squad leader didn't see it, so I guess I was not in the town and went to the county seat. Qixiangyuan is still very lively, from time to time people come in and out, many prostitutes/women wear flowers and branches to solicit guests, not all of them are rich people from large households, quite a lot of them are some peddlers and pawns, it seems that no matter how bad the situation is, the basic needs still have to be released.
In this way, after a whole day in the mountains, it is time to make a fire during the day, and eat well, instant noodles, cakes, luncheon meat, and pure water. In this way, Wei Baobao and Yan Xiaofu already felt that they couldn't stand it anymore, they had watched the videos on their mobile phones several times, and they ran out of electricity. It's so boring, the only thing I'm interested in is holding a telescope and looking into Qi Xiangyuan,
Shan Erhu was calm, lying there to practice aiming, during which he inadvertently found an old farmer picking medicine, only a hundred meters away from them, only to be discovered by Shan Erhu, fortunately the old farmer did not find them. This also reminded Zhuang Quan that he should not only observe the enemy, but also strengthen his vigilance, and with such an advanced telescope in his hand, he should at least discover the situation from a distance of 200 meters.
So he arranged for Yan Xiaofu and Wei Baobao to take turns to observe the surrounding situation, and even at night, someone had to be on duty, and this time Wei Baobao and Yan Xiaofu grinned even more and complained bitterly.
Zhuang Quan felt that this time the opportunity was very good, and it was time to hone and hone them, otherwise they would really come to play. If you can't endure the hardships, you won't come out next time, and you will retreat in the face of difficulties. Since you want to take the path of assassination and sniping, you have to endure loneliness and suffering, and now this bit of suffering is too childish!
In the evening, this time I had experience, and I took out the Chinese clothes in my bag and wore them all on my body, bulging, although it looked ugly, but it was not so cold, and the only thing missing was that it would be better to have a scarf.
By noon on the third day, the goal finally appeared!
