Brother Yong is the leader of a small theft gang in this area, Zhang Lao is the second child, and the rest are street children and orphans who "pick up" and "cheat" back in the station area, get them back to control, and then train them to steal skills.

Of course, there are also those who escape, and it is impossible for Brother Yong and Zhang Lao Er to be completely controlled, and there are scheming and smart teenagers who pretend to be obedient and obedient, but they escape when they find the right opportunity, and Brother Yong and Zhang Lao Er have no ability to catch the escaped back, so the control means after the newcomer comes, are stricter.

Jiang Mao is the best one among the three teenagers who has practiced stealing skills, and when he saw Zhang Laoer's order, he also had some intention of showing off, and stretched out his hand to stand on the edge of the pot.

The water in the pot is boiling, and the bottom of the pot is a thin white and dense white water bubble coming out, and three coins are floating with the bubbles at the bottom of the pot, and the position is not fixed.

Jiang Maoxuan is Xuan, but when he was about to tongs the coin came out, his expression was much more serious, a pair of eyes were staring at the pot, and only after staring at it did he quickly reach into the pot with his right index finger and middle finger, and then withdrew his hand back.

His hands were wet, and there were no coins between his index and middle fingers.

Jiang Mao said curtly: "If you miss, ...... again Come again......"

The second time, this time it picked up a coin.

Zhang Lao Er frowned and said, "Jiang Mao, how did you do it?" Your skills haven't improved, get out of the way, I'll show you a demonstration. ”

Jiang Mao's face flushed and he took two steps back.

Zhang Lao Er stepped forward, called several teenagers to the side of the pot, and then stretched out the two fingers of the index finger and middle finger of his right hand and lit them up: "Look at it, what we need to do in this line of work is to be quick with hands and eyes, and the most important thing is one." The word 'fast', there is a saying in martial arts movies, the world's kung fu, the only fast is not broken, you run fast, people can't catch up with you, you throw the secret weapon fast, people can't avoid you, your fingers stretch fast, probe fast, other people's wallets can't hide from you, let alone feel you, the better you practice, the safer it is for us, you are optimistic! ”

Zhang Lao Er just spoke, and his right hand suddenly stretched out into the pot, the speed was really a bit of "lightning", and it was like a dragonfly dotting water, as if it only clicked on the water surface in the pot and then retracted.

A few people looked at him again, and there was already a coin between the index finger of his right hand.

Zhang Lao Er slowly put the coin on the table, and then said, "If you look at it again, I'll demonstrate it again." ”

After the first move, several teenagers stared more closely, Zhang Laoer's movements did not change from before, but several teenagers noticed and saw more clearly, especially Shen Pang.

Zhang Lao Er took out the remaining coin in the pot, then pulled a few tissues to wipe his hands, glanced at Shen Pang, and said as if threatening and warning: "Shen Pang, you see, we are doing this, as long as you are obedient and obedient, you will have to eat and drink spicy food and spicy food with us, and I will give you a lot of money in two years, in short, it is right to follow the boss and me, but I can also say ugly things first, if anyone is not good at work, or hide his secrets, Lao Tzu will bleed him!" ”

After Zhang Lao Er finished speaking, he stared at a few teenagers with a fierce look, and when he saw that several teenagers did not squeak, he waved his hand and ordered: "Jiang Mao, you take them to practice techniques, and I will go talk to the boss." ”

After Zhang Lao Er went out, he also added an iron lock to the heavy security door, locking the inside from the outside, the room inside was almost equal to a small cell, and the windows in the room were small and had a solid security net, so it was impossible to get out.

Jiang Mao brought a large box of one-yuan coins, and then poured them all into the pot, and got some cold water and put them in the pot, otherwise the temperature in the pot was almost boiling point at this time, and he didn't have the ability to pick up coins from the boiling water.

Jiang Mao greeted, black beans and bald men also practiced, Jiang Mao clamped for a while, turned his head and shouted to Shen Pang who was staring: "You, come and practice." ”

Jiang Mao drank Shen Pang to the pot, and then went back to sit on the sofa to watch TV, there was an old color TV in the living room, this was the only thing they could do, Zhang Lao Er naturally would not leave them mobile phones and other communication equipment.

Shen Pang watched the black bean and the bald man practice happily, and he stared at it.

The bald man glanced at Jiang Mao and whispered to Shen Pang: "You still practice, if you can't steal money every few days, you will be beaten." ”

"Okay, I'll practice." Shen Pang felt the bald man's "kindness", and also stretched out his right index finger and middle finger into the pot to clamp the coin according to their appearance.

At this time, the temperature of the water in the pot was less than 70 degrees, not very hard, and there were more coins in the pot, and the black beans and bald people were basically one by one.

Shen Pang used the aura gauntlet, and his eyes were staring at the pot, which was also a pincer, even more stable than black beans and bald people.

Black Beans and Bald naturally didn't know that Shen Pang's aura protective body, not to mention the water temperature of seventy degrees, even boiling water couldn't hurt him, and the speed was far beyond them, but Shen Pang didn't want them to see it.

In addition, there is another reason, Shen Pang's aura has practiced to the second level of the formula, he himself does not know what the effect is, there are hints in this layer of the formula, if you practice the third layer of "fusion" formula, there will be many basic techniques, this is what Shen Pang wants to see the most.

At present, he has not learned any "magic number" from the formula, and the only trick he can use is the "Spiritual Sense Lock" that he learned from Yang Ke's brain, which is a technique performed by others, but learning such a trick has made Shen Pang full of countless fantasies and expectations for "magic number".

However, it is also mentioned in the mantra that each layer will be many times more difficult than the previous mantra in the future, so the more difficult it will be to practice the more you go, and I don't know if you can practice it, such as the second "enlightenment" now, and I don't know how long it will take to practice it, a week, or a month? Half a year, or a year? Or three years, ten years?

Shen Pang also vaguely understood from the feelings of his body that the life prolonged by the several tasks mentioned by the old man was actually estimated to mean the degree to which he practiced the mantra, and if he couldn't practice the mantra, then he wouldn't be able to take the next step.

There is no doubt that the aura formed by practicing the mantra can prevent or "eliminate" the malignant tumor in the brain, and the tumor has been controlled to the extent that he is in front of him, and before he practiced the mantra, he had to ache dozens of times a day, and now, in the past week, he has almost no symptoms, which already shows something.

The temperature of the water has risen, and the heat is more urgent, and the bald man and the black bean dare not practice anymore, so they have to add cold water to practice again.

However, Shen Pang didn't seem to feel it, he was still practicing, and the bald man quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Okay, okay, if you burn your hand, it's troublesome, let's practice again tomorrow." ”

Shen Pang's contemplative thoughts "woke up" and smiled at the bald man: "Okay, thank you." ”

There are two rows of steel frame beds with bunk beds in the room, the middle is the aisle, four bunks, the bald man pointed to the right side and got out of bed and said to Shen Pang: "This is Jiang Mao's, the left lower bunk is black bean's, the black bean upper bunk is mine, you sleep on Jiang Mao's upper bunk, that bunk is Xiao Huang's, Xiao Huang has already run away......"

Shen Pang nodded, cleaned up his things, and then took out the money, ID card, mobile phone and other items that he had hidden before while the bald man was not paying attention, and then hid them on the top bunk.

Black Bean and Jiang Mao were watching TV in the living room outside.

The bald man climbed up to the bunk, flipped through a novel without a cover from under the pillow and came out to look at it, looked at it and put down the book, and glanced at Shen Pang: "Shen Pang, how did you get out?" What about your family? ”

Shen Pang smiled and said, "I ran away from home, and my family doesn't care about me, what about you?" ”

The bald man sighed: "Alas, my dad was sick and died, my mother ran away with other men, no matter me, I lived with my second uncle for a few years, my second aunt looked at me unpleasantly, and it was common for me to be beaten twice in three days, and then I ran away from home." ”

Shen Pang sighed and pity in his heart, the bald man is really pitiful, although he is terminally ill, but his parents' love for him is nothing compared, if he exchanges his life with the bald man's experience, I am afraid that he would rather choose his parents to be safe than to live a good life.

The bald man shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk about those sad things, let's talk about the skills we practice, although Zhang Lao Er and Brother Yong are ......fierce, but I think it is not without benefits, if you can practice your skills well, you can also make a lot of money in the future." ”

Shen Pang shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, stealing, it's always a crime, as the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, no matter how good you practice this job, you can't guarantee that there will be a time when you miss, aren't you afraid of living in a prison cell for the rest of your life?" ”

The bald man smiled and said: "That's a thief who doesn't have the skills to make a mistake, I've heard that the real master is infallible, when you reach the realm, whether you steal or hide, it's all superb, when you steal, you can't find it, hide it on your body, even if you take off your clothes, you can't find out where it's hidden, that's the real master!" ”

Shen Pang couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "This ...... There are also masters? ”

But if you ask this question, you can't say that there really aren't such people.

The bald man nodded and said: "There must be, but our level is too low, and the practice skills are also level-level, and there are several levels of boiling tongs and coins, such as the lowest level is ours, the water temperature of seventy degrees, the coin is a dollar, and put a lot, so that it is easier to clamp it up, and the more difficult point is that the water temperature is a little higher, and the coin is less, for example, there are only a few, so that the difficulty will be much greater, if you can clamp twelve coins in one breath without missing, this layer will be passed." ”

Shen Pang looked at the bald man with interest, the thief also had many sayings, which could not be seen in his previous life.

The bald man's expression was very longing, and then he introduced the level of practice of stealing skills: "After this layer, you generally change the five-cent coin, the five-cent coin is much lighter than the one-yuan coin, and it is less and thinner, and it is more difficult to clamp from the high-temperature water. ”

"Do you have to practice knives when stealing?" Shen Pang asked in surprise.

The bald man shook his head and said: "The 'knife' I am talking about is not a knife to cut people, but a 'blade', there are two ways to play the blade, the low-level is to use only the small corner of the blade to hide in the fingernails, scratch people's clothes bags, trouser bags, leather bags, handbags, etc., the high-level will hide the whole blade in the mouth, this technique is very strong, it is easy to cut yourself if you don't play well, and those who can play with the blade are basically masters, Brother Yong and Zhang Lao Er can only hide in the nails. ”

Shen Pang imagined and asked, "Then have you ever seen a master who can hide a blade in his mouth?" ”

"Nope." The bald man shook his head and replied, "But I heard Brother Yong say that there is an eighth master in Chengdu who is the top master in this industry." ”
