Chapter 21: The Den of Thieves

When he was about to call Liu Xuan, Shen Pang suddenly stopped again, thought about it, put away his mobile phone, and said to Xie Xiaohua: "Officer Xie, I'll get off here." ”

Xie Xiaohua asked in surprise, "Didn't you call your friend?" Why don't you fight again? I'll send you by the way, and it won't take any trouble. ”

Shen Pang shook his head and said, "Don't bother you, I'll get out of the car and find a supermarket nearby, and I have to buy some gifts when I go to someone's house." ”

Xie Xiaohua thought about it for a while, groaned for a while, reached out and grabbed the mobile phone in Shen Pang's hand, and turned it on and pressed a number to dial it out.

After a while, Xie Xiaohua's own mobile phone rang, and he flicked it a few times on his mobile phone, then smiled at Shen Pang and said, "Now that I have saved your mobile phone number, I will ask you when I think of any questions." ”

Shen Pang smiled bitterly, took the phone back and put it in his trouser pocket, then opened the car door and got out of the car, and waved goodbye to Xie Xiaohua.

Xie Xiaohua smiled, and then drove away.

Shen Pang looked at the surrounding environment, the provincial capital was indeed much more prosperous than other places, and all he saw when he raised his eyes were high-rise buildings, and he didn't know where they were, but it didn't matter, he just picked a direction to go over, and looked at the scenery while walking.

The sun is very big, Shen Pang looked up at the sky, it was too hot, buy a bottle of water to quench his thirst first, but this area is full of high-rise buildings, and the bottom floor of the street is full of high-end shops, but there are no small shops, and I haven't seen it for a long time.

"Brother, do you want to find a job?"

When Shen Pang was wiping his sweat and looking for it, someone suddenly asked him on his side, turned his head and saw that it was a man who looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a floral shirt, jeans, oily face, and a pair of eyes that looked cunning and treacherous.

If it is another young child, the prevention of this person is naturally not very strong, but who is Shen Pang?

"Looking for a job?" Shen Pang asked casually.

The man smiled and quickly replied, "I don't think you have eaten, right?" Thirsty and hungry, right? Don't say it, come with me to dinner, even if you want to find a job, you have to eat enough to have the strength, right? ”

Hehe, as soon as Shen Pang heard it, he knew that this person regarded him as an orphan wandering outside or a runaway teenager.

"Eat? But I don't have any money on me,......" Shen Pang deliberately said according to the man's guess.

"Follow me." The man stretched out his hand and patted Shen Pang's shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want you to pay." ”

Is this man a human trafficker, or is he a fraudster? Or maybe it's a street hustler?

Traffickers usually only like mentally immature babies and young children, so that they can be sold, and there will be no future troubles, and this person should not be a liar, and the scammer will not take a fancy to a person like himself, because there is no money to cheat.

This person is supposed to be a gangster, tricking poor and lonely orphans and homeless teenagers into doing some stealing and robbing to earn money, which is more common in downtown areas such as train stations.

If a smart boy would reject that person, but Shen Pang is not a smart boy, he is an extremely smart genius boy, and he has already seen through the thoughts of the gangsters.

Shen Pang suddenly had the idea of going on an "adventure" with this person, if his life could not be saved after all, it would not be in vain to have more excitement and not waste the last time.

"Come on." The man was even happier when he saw Shen Pang's "dumbfounded" appearance, the more brainless he was, the more incapable he was, the more he could be controlled by them.

Shen Pang followed him three times and turned to a relatively dilapidated alley, there were many people in this alley, all of them were snack shops, and most of the guests who were eating were people who worked hard.

"Come on, here." The man entered a fast-food restaurant and turned back to beckon to Shen Pang.

There were a few tables in the store, the space was very crowded, but fortunately there were no other customers at this time, and there was a rotating ceiling fan overhead, but it still felt very hot.

The man wiped his sweat and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Big brother, there's a newcomer, in a fast food restaurant, let's come over and eat."

In less than five minutes, four more people came to the store, a man of twenty-seven or eighteen, three teenagers of fifteen or sixteen, all three of whom looked a little dark and thin, only the man of twenty-seven or eighteen was dressed in a foreign manner, and a thick chain of gold dangling was hung around his neck.

"Brother Yong, sit here." The man who brought Shen Pang hurriedly gave up his seat, then turned his head and beckoned to the restaurant owner: "Boss, six portions of ten yuan of fast food, hurry up." ”

"Okay." The owner ran over and poured tea.

Such fast food restaurant employees, chefs, and bosses are basically part-time by the boss.

After the boss went to the stove to stir-fry, the man asked Shen Pang again: "Brother, what's your name?" As for the ID card, show me it. ”

Shen Pang nodded and replied: "My name is Shen Pang, I don't have an ID card, I don't want to study anymore, I ran away from home." ”

The man nodded and said, "Very good, let me introduce you, this is Brother Yong, my name is Zhang Laoer, you can call me Second Brother, these are Black Beans, Bald, Jiang Mao." ”

There are black beans with some freckles on the face, bald people with yellow hair and less hair, and the most clever one is Jiang Mao, and the three teenagers are only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The three teenagers didn't seem to be enthusiastic about Shen Pang, and they didn't speak, and when the fast food was delivered, they buried their heads in eating.

The eldest brother Yong and Zhang Lao Er didn't seem to be very interested in fast food, just perfunctory accompaniment, Shen Pang ate fast food unceremoniously, after he and the three teenagers finished eating fast food, Brother Yong and Zhang Lao Er's food almost didn't move.

Seeing Shen Pang and the other four teenagers gobbling up fast food, Zhang Lao Er clapped his hands and said, "Okay, go back first when you're full, I have something to say." ”

"Let's go." Heidou said a word, and Bald Man and Jiang Mao stood up and prepared to leave, without saying a word.

It seems that the atmosphere is not good, and Shen Pang doesn't care.

Zhang Lao Er settled the bill and came out of the store, Brother Yong was talking on the phone, and the four teenagers were waiting next to him.

After Brother Yong finished the call, he turned back to Zhang Lao Er and said, "Second brother, you take a few of them back, I have something to go out." ”

Zhang Lao Er nodded in agreement, and beckoned to the four teenagers: "Let's go, go back." ”

The place I went back to was a place like an urban village, the third floor of a six-story house in the black alley, one bedroom and one living room, although it was the third floor, the window could not see the sunlight, the window was only one meter wide from the wall of the opposite house, and there were protruding anti-theft windows up and down, almost completely covering the light below.

Zhang Lao Er took the key to open the door, and then called the four teenagers into the house, and he finally went in and locked the door.

Shen Pang looked at the abnormal posture, and he was not afraid, standing in the living room to watch.

As soon as the three of them entered the floor, Black Bean, Jiang Mao, and Bald Man acted separately and went to move things to the middle of the living room.

A table, a gas stove, a can of gas, an iron pot, and black beans The three teenagers worked together to set up the stove on the table, connect the gas canister, set up the iron pot, light the fire, and finally brought a large basin of water and poured it into the iron pot.

The flames were burning and whirring, burning the iron pot to the maximum extent, and after a while, I saw the hot air coming out of the pot.

Shen Pang looked at it with interest, isn't it that the black beans and the others haven't eaten enough, so they came home and boiled such a big pot of water to cook noodles or something?

"Shen Pang," Zhang Lao Er shouted, beckoned and said, "Take out all the things on your body, take them all out." ”

Show your true face!

Shen Pang groaned for a while, and Zhang Lao Er turned his face and shouted fiercely: "Hurry up, hurry up, take out all the things on your body, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Shen Pang had a bank card and more than 1,000 yuan, and he only had a few hundred yuan in cash on him, but when he was in Wuyan Town, he returned 600 yuan in the hotel and a short sword in his backpack, none of which could be given to Zhang Laoer.

Seeing Shen Pang hesitating, Zhang Lao Er thought that he didn't want to take out the money hidden in his body and bag, so he stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves and said in annoyance: "Damn, I ate Lao Tzu's food and entered Lao Tzu's door, didn't you accept Lao Tzu's care?" ”

stepped forward and was ready to make a move, Shen Pang did not hesitate, and secretly lucked the aura to send out four spiritual sense locks, and almost at the same time, Zhang Laoer, Black Bean, Bald, Jiang Mao and other four people were "fixed"!

Shen Pang didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately took out the bank card, ID card, cash, mobile phone, etc., and went to the room to find a place to hide it, leaving only the backpack unmoved, the short sword had a box, and the target was too big to hide.

The time of one minute passed quickly, and Zhang Lao Er "woke up", his movements were still the same, and he raised his hand to hit Shen Pang.

Shen Pang took a step back and dodged away, put the backpack in front of him and said repeatedly: "I'll take it, I'll take it......"

Seeing that Shen Pang had softened, Zhang Lao Er stopped his hand and stared at Shen Pang with his waist crossed.

Shen Pang was not pretentious at this time, turned out all the pockets on his body, opened the backpack again, and took out all the things inside.

The wooden box opened, and inside was a short sword.

Zhang Lao Er saw that Shen Pang really had no money and no ID card, and there were only a few clothes in his backpack, and the only conspicuous thing was the short sword in the wooden box.

"Where did this come from?" Zhang Lao Er took the short sword in his hand and looked at it, and touched the bead on the hilt of the sword, which seemed to be quite dazzling.

However, he is not a connoisseur, so he can't tell if this thing is an antique.

Shen Pang hurriedly replied: "This is what I bought for twenty yuan under the overpass when I was at home, I often fight with my classmates in school, I want to get a sword and a sword, this sword looks pretty good, better than machetes, I am afraid of fighting outside, so I brought this short sword out when I ran away from home." ”

Zhang Lao Er said "oh", this is not strange, he doesn't want this thing anymore, the provincial city is not the countryside, he is doing illegal things, there are a lot of plainclothes policemen outside, and if he is caught, he has a sword on his body, that is, he has a "weapon".

"Then you put it away, remember, you can't take this thing with you when you go out to work, and it will add to the crime of being caught." Zhang Lao Er returned the short sword to Shen Pang, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, look at you are also a poor bastard, your body is clean, damn, you are poorer than when the bald man came, and the bald man still had five yuan on him at that time......"

As he spoke, he touched three one-dollar coins from his body, threw them into the steaming iron pot, and said, "Jiang Mao, you have the best kung fu practice, show Shen Pang a demonstration." ”

Jiang Mao didn't say a word, brushed his short sleeves, his eyes stared at the iron pot, the heat was churning, the water temperature in this pot was at least about seventy degrees, the fire was big, and the water temperature would only continue to increase.

Shen Pang had already understood that what Zhang Lao Er wanted Jiang Mao to demonstrate was to get a coin out of the hot water pot.

It's a pickpocket!

He's fallen into the den of thieves!
