Chapter Ninety-Two: Something Happened to Dad's Company
The fierce sun shone down, and it was the same as yesterday, the only difference was that Bai Ze was now on the train from Tianjin to Cangshi.
Although Cangshi has a long history, it is only a small city and has no civilian airport, so Bai Ze can only take a plane from Chengdu to Tianjin first, and then reverse a train. Fortunately, now the national railways have begun to speed up, more than 100 kilometers away, the train only takes more than half an hour, the speed is two or three times faster than the bus, and the travel is very convenient.
There were not many people on the train, Bai Ze sat in the window seat, watching the scenery outside disappear quickly in front of him, and suddenly remembered that when Mu Daoren left, he seemed to say that he had put a book in his bag, and hurriedly dragged his backpack from the empty seat next to him, and flipped it around.
Sure enough, I found a thick book from the innermost mezzanine.
This book is obviously bound by Lao Dao himself, the appearance is larger than ordinary books, the side is bound with ancient thread, the color of the cover is a bit like kraft paper, but the touch is very delicate, not rough, and the four corners of the book are wrapped with brass, which looks antique.
In particular, the paper inside does not seem to be white paper in the usual sense, the color is slightly yellow, but it is very tough, as soon as you hold it in your hand, you feel very strong, and when you get closer, it seems that there is a strange smell of "spices".
"Well, it should be an animal skin that has been soaked in special herbs, which can be moisture-proof and moth-proof, and can be retained for a longer time. I seem to have heard people say that before the ancient times paper was not popular, in some Western countries, important information was recorded in parchment, so it was also called parchment rolls. ”
Although Bai Ze has always been concentrating on boxing and rarely involved in other things, he is still a ten-year-old boy after all, and occasionally, he will look for something that he is more interested in on the Internet. Looking at the "paper" in the book in my hand, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Dead Sea Parchment Scroll", which was once a sensation in the Western world.
However, after thinking about it again, he had been in the valley for several months, and had to eat a lot of venison every day, but he had never seen what the old Taoist did with the leftover deerskins, so he estimated that this book was made of those deerskins.
The leather paper is also much thicker than ordinary white paper, so a book with only more than 200 pages before and after is almost as thick as most of the "Xinhua Dictionary" in your hand. On the cover, only the two traditional Chinese characters of "Sword Sutra" were written with a brush, the penmanship was clumsy and round, only when the last stroke of the word "sword" was written like a dragon and snake rising from the land, the edge was exposed, the rich ink color, the force penetrated the back of the paper, and almost wanted to break through the air.
The following line of small print, the inscription is the word "iron crown".
Bai Ze didn't care about it when he saw it, but said that this was the old way. Immediately opened the book, and saw that it was all hand-copied fly-headed small letters, neatly worked, and the layout was also a vertical version from right to left, called Bai Ze, who had long been accustomed to the current way of reading, looked a little awkward.
In addition, it is on the train again, there are many people, and it is not easy to study carefully, so when he took the book in his hand, Bai Ze only took a cursory look at it, and the content of the book, the first dozens of pages are all about the actual combat killing method in Yuan Gong's fist and sword, from the foundation to the application, layer by layer, some things Bai Ze has already begun to practice, but more is such as the three-step sleeping method, the six-character formula, the three-character formula of the practice and so on The principles and practice methods of the fist and sword techniques.
Among them, the walking diagram of the 36 palaces, the training of eyes, the training of hands, the training of the body, the 64 styles of the white ape forming, the 36 swords of the thorn ape, etc.
According to various diagrams, the outline is as thin as a gossamer, which not only expresses all the movements outside the human body to the subtlety, but also marks the path and direction of how to practice the qi on it.
In the last part, it was Mu Daoren who drew some loose shelves in Yuan Gong's fist sword, and described in detail how to practice qi and increase kung fu in the inner fist sword. However, in this part, the things written by Lao Dao are very scattered, and the content does not seem to be all the things he taught Bai Ze about the Yuan Gongquan Sword, but also mixed with many of his insights and experiences, every word.
Then, the color of the paper was a little lighter, and it seemed to be a new addition later, and it turned out that the Mudao people had made up all the missing part of the "Five Steps and Thirteen Guns" in the iron arm of Bai Ze's family heirloom in the last part of the book.
After reading for more than ten minutes, the sound of the radio coming to the station suddenly came from the carriage, and Bai Ze immediately put the book away carefully, preparing to study it carefully when he had time in the future.
Following the flow of people out of the train station, Bai Ze didn't go anywhere, and went directly across the road to the opposite long-distance bus station to buy a ticket to Su County at two o'clock in the afternoon. I saw two coin-operated phones on one side of the waiting hall, so I walked over to call home, but as soon as the phone was connected, I heard his mother's voice on the other side.
"Hey, who's that? If you come to Bai Jianjun to ask for debts, come to his old house, everyone is here today, and they just solved the ...... together. ”
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Something happened at home? ”
Bai Ze frowned suddenly, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes. His mother, Fang Hua, is a traditional Chinese female surname, hard-working, mild-tempered, and rarely loses her temper, but when she answered the phone just now, Bai Ze clearly heard the suppressed anger in her tone.
This is tantamount to revealing his reverse scales for Bai Ze.
"...... Ozawa, you kid, it's been a few months since you went out, why did you call!" The mother's voice suddenly became excited, and then there was silence, but Bai Ze still heard a low sobbing sound coming from the microphone.
"Damn it!" Bai Ze's head buzzed up suddenly, and his face instantly turned red, but he still violently restrained his emotions and tried his best to make his voice as normal as usual: "Mom, don't be afraid, isn't there still your son when the sky falls!" Tell me, what the hell is going on? Aren't you running a company with your dad outside, why did you go back to grandpa? I'm in Cangshi right now, and I'll be able to rush back right away. ”
"Ozawa, something happened to your father's company......!" After a few more minutes, the mother's voice sounded in my ears again: "Last month, the company received a large order, as a middleman for a company in Australia to purchase a batch of soybean raw materials, but the goods were all detained at the customs, saying that more than a dozen antiques and cultural relics were checked out from inside...... but this list was taken by your Uncle Li from Gao Chongxi, and now he ran away as soon as something happened, and your father also ......, and now Gao Chongxi has brought a large group of people to your grandfather to discuss the ......." ”
"Ozawa, come back quickly, I see that your grandfather seems to be a little overwhelmed, if there is a conflict, it will be bad."
Mom's voice came from the other end, obviously the phone was in a hurry, and there was a bit of trilling in her voice.
"Gao Chongxi ......!" "Mom, don't be afraid, I'll go back immediately, it won't take half an hour to take a shortcut. In addition, you must be optimistic about the old man, he is really going to be angry, and all those grandchildren have to go to the hospital. At that time, things will not end well, the surname Gao is not a good person, there must be something strange about this matter! ”
As soon as Bai Ze heard a faint noise on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but feel an evil fire running around in his heart. kept cursing in his mouth, and the car didn't get on, he turned around directly, and ran with big strides.
His home Su County is actually not far from Cangshi, but when the road is repaired, there are a lot of detours, if you take a car back, a hundred miles, the same takes more than half an hour. But in the afternoon, the bus from the city to the suburbs has to wait at the station for more than an hour at the earliest.
Out of the bus station, all the way to the west is the outskirts of the city, from here as long as you climb over one or two mountains, you can get to Baijiazhuang in Su County, the straight-line distance is definitely not more than fifty miles. Bai Ze has been practicing with his grandfather since he was a child, and after more than ten years, he has long practiced a pair of legs and feet to the ground, and if he really wants to run, he may not be much slower than the car on the road when he crosses the mountains and mountains.
However, in this section of the city, there were many people on the road, and Bai Ze didn't dare to run fast, so he just found a secluded place, turned to a small road, and passed through a large semi-artificial park in five or six minutes, and plunged into the forest.
It wasn't until this moment that he really started running.
Let go of the big feet, the whole person's body has always formed a sixty-degree angle with the ground in front of him, and the height of one meter and eight has almost shrunk by half, and in the process of running, Bai Ze's arms have always leaned on the lower part of the two ribs, and the two big feet that move quickly are a mess.
In the woods is a mountain leopard that is rapidly pounced on its prey.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the forest.
The people Bai Ze's mother said on the phone were actually local gangsters in Su County, and the reason why they came to the house to make trouble was because Bai Ze's father, Bai Jianjun, owed Gao Chongxi money.
The total with interest is 3.68 million!
Bai Jianjun served as a soldier, and after demobilization, he returned to his hometown, couldn't bear the loneliness, and found a relationship loan to partner with a former comrade-in-arms surnamed Li to open an import and export trading company. Although the business has not been too good, it is not bad, and there can be a gross profit of 1.8 million yuan all year round.
More than a month ago, Gao Chongxi contacted a batch of soybeans in the northeast to find a relationship for customs declaration, and this list was taken down by Bai Jianjun's partner through unknown channels. I finally contacted an Australian company, but there was a problem when I made a customs declaration, and when the customs was sampling, more than a dozen antique cultural relics were found from the mountain-like soybeans.
Then the partner simply walked with a bag and withdrew all the cash on the company's books, and when Bai Jianjun came back to his so-called comrade-in-arms and partner's hometown for many years, even the ancestral house was sold, and even the father and mother who had been digging in the soil all their lives were gone.
And Bai Jianjun, who owed a lot of debts and couldn't even pay the wages of his employees when the company went bankrupt, then disappeared, and when he left, he only made a long-distance phone call to his home, saying that he wanted to seek justice, and then he completely lost his news.
Because it involves the smuggling of cultural relics, the local police are now also involved in the investigation.
