Chapter 45: Deceitful Hearts
The yellow dog that he met at the house of Lao Tan's brother in Hecun came straight to them, Ji Conan has experience, standing still is the best way, Shen Jing screamed in fright, Teacher Tan, the elder brother of Lao Tan in Hecun, ran out and drank the yellow dog, and the yellow dog turned back in a daze, it regretted that it didn't eat people today. As long as the dog is not crazy, it still listens to its owner. Sometimes, dogs are more obedient than people, however, dogs must be more faithful than people.
"This dog has bitten a few people, and it is usually chained, why not today?" Hecun Lao Tan explained.
"I just gave the dog a bath and let it be free for a while, but I didn't expect this beast to change at all, and still want to bite. I don't dare to let it go in the future. I only have one partner. Teacher Tan said.
Ji Conan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that he had just bathed the dog and was going to make them lunch. Shen Jing frowned even more. Look at the branch Lao Tan, he doesn't seem to care, what about the bear, he doesn't care, it may be the local customs of loving cleanliness, these people love dogs, and have a tolerant heart for dogs, then they can only follow the local customs, reluctantly, at this time they want to leave, I am afraid that the results of the morning mediation will come to naught, making everyone unhappy. Forget it, go with the flow.
Mr. Tan prepared some light food, which may be related to his personality. He asked them to eat as much as they wanted, not to be polite, there was no time to prepare, only some seasonal vegetables, I hope they don't mind. They walked without a pot, of course, they ate wherever they went, and they wouldn't mind, it was much better than going back to the county seat hungry.
After dinner, they said goodbye to them and went down the mountain to the city.
Before Togo returned, Ji Conan and Shen Jing were just walking around the street.
There is no money, wandering around the streets, just the addiction of the grasshopper's eyes, so that the eyes are satisfied. I have money, but I don't have much time to spend shopping.
Shen Jing looked extremely haggard for a while, and I don't know why. He didn't want to ask anything more.
She didn't say it, just forget it, lest he take the initiative to ask and give her any hints, which is not good.
The wife just left Guizhou County, naturally, the wife came to see him thousands of miles away, the purpose is obvious, I want to live with him sincerely, one of the important manifestations is to see what the husband is doing, whether it is empathy and other love, if not, loosen the soil and plant, waiting for germination and fruition.
Ji Conan is convinced of this, so for Shen Jing, he is just a colleague, don't care too much about those details, there is no hope to take a step forward at all. Her thoughts may be delusional, his thoughts may be delusional, neither of which is real life.
It's completely the protagonist of a movie or TV series, and if you don't wake up, it may end up very badly.
It's good to put yourself in the right position. There's no need to ponder over something unrealistic. Supermarket items are a bit expensive, but the quality of the goods may be better. Ji Conan didn't buy anything. Although I wanted to buy it, I held back. Shen Jing didn't buy anything, although she liked to eat snacks, but their income was very small, and they didn't dare to spend money, and they had to support their families with this money, and they were in the probation period, so they didn't stabilize, of course, they had to save everywhere.
Togo called and said, "I'll be home soon." "They go to the market and take some food back to prepare dinner.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to make more rice, Shen Jing said: "I want to make more, I want to use the leftovers to make some rice wine." ”
Ji Conan was very curious and asked, "I can't see it, you can do this!" ”
"Of course, I learned from my mother, and I have been able to do it since I was a child, but I haven't had the opportunity to do it, and I've been busy for the past few years, and I don't even cook much." Shen Jing said.
While they were talking, Togo opened the door and came in.
"I encountered a strange thing in Ping Village today." He couldn't wait.
"What's weird?" Shen Jing asked curiously.
"Three people died in a row, and Yan Bo complained bitterly." Togo said.
Ji Conan asked, "How so?" ”
"Something evil is out. These three people are not old people, they are all middle-aged, they don't live together, one at the foot of the mountain, one on the mountainside, and one at the top of the mountain, all three of them are 49 years old, and they are all men. Togo said.
"It's a bit of an evil sect. So, why did Yan Bo complain? Shen Jing asked. Ji Conan also felt a little strange.
"He's going to give a gift. For red and white ceremonies in the countryside, the villagers must give gifts to each other, and the whole village must give them, even if they are sojourners. Togo said.
"So, should we send it too?" Ji Conan asked.
"We don't have to send. They said, "We are good deeds, and we are spared." Besides, we don't know where we will be in the future if we want to return the gift after giving it. People want to return the gift, but they can't find a place, don't you say? Togo said.
"It's true, we don't believe in that evil." Shen Jing said.
They were talking and eating at the same time, and when Shen Jing finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, Ji Conan rushed to wash the dishes. Shen Jing also went to the kitchen to make her rice wine.
To tell the truth, I left the person in charge of the unit and didn't have the opportunity to show personal heroism, so I honestly became my original self, this time, Togo was indeed hard, and he went to Pingcun alone, so he should be allowed to rest more.
Ji Conan told Togo what he thought in his heart, and Togo was of course moved and even said a few thanks.
It sounds very perfunctory, Togo can say words of thanks, it is also commendable, everyone is in the probation period, the stars are fake, and it will be passable, so why bother? Nothing to say for a night.
The next day, they asked Lao Tan of the branch to go to Quancun to see the progress of the project there. They made an appointment to meet at the three forks in the road, they arrived there first, and when they saw Lao Tan Zheng there, he said: "Let's go and see the water pipes first, and see what the quality and price of the water pipes here are." ”
Togo said, "Okay. ”
Togo has already expressed his position, and of course Ji Conan and Shen Jing have no opinion.
At the plumbers, they see a wide variety of water pipes, with a wide variety of different specifications that make people dizzy.
It seems that the plumber is very familiar with the goods he sells, and he can tell a lot about it wherever he asks.
It turns out that the plumber is only the agent of the Yiling manufacturer, and the manufacturer's ex-factory price plus the agency fee and freight is the market price. They probably understood the problem. But make it clear that you don't rush to order first, just take a look at it first.
After coming out, Lao Tan said: "The current price of water pipes is relatively chaotic, so we have to shop around to see which one is better." The whole market situation is constantly changing, and it is necessary to seize the timing and talk about it. ”
Lao Tan is a ** lake and has a lot of experience, so this shouldn't be difficult for him.
Since the unit entrusted the county branch to do the whole project, it must fully trust him and let him decide where to buy the goods. Of course, they asked other members of the village project site leader to participate in the purchase of materials, in fact, this is a bit difficult to operate, they live in the village, it is not easy to come to the city, to meet the requirements of the organization, but also to make the villagers affordable, they have to find another way.
They got into the minibus. But the car is not full, and the car will not go. They can only wait patiently.
While waiting for the bus, suddenly three or four people came up, and they got into the car. One of them took out three cards and said, "It's so boring to wait for the car, why don't we play the game of guessing the red heart, and the guess wins." ”
Immediately a short man said, "Count me in." ”
The players shuffled the three cards, and then let everyone look at the hearts, buckled them on the ground, and the others began to bet. Someone guessed right and won the money, someone lost the money and the bet didn't come back. The men pretended not to know each other and continued to play.
There was an old man next to him who was looking hot and wanted to try it. When the player saw that he wanted to participate, he encouraged him to bet. He pressed ten dollars on the heart, and when he stepped on the heart, and then took out the money, the player quickly changed the card at the old man's feet.
The other person saw it accurately, and immediately bet on it, and also stepped on the hearts with his foot, and similarly, when paying for it, the player changed the hearts again. By the time the plaque was unveiled, both of them had won their money by another person, and it was clear that that person was with them.
The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. The old man was not convinced, and he saw the opportunity and bet, this time he did not use his feet, but with his hands, and pressed the card to death, and the result was turned over to see, or spades, what is going on? When did you change the cards? It's a heart, but how can it become a spade in a while? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
When people are fascinated by money, their hearts will not brighten, and they can see the mechanism most clearly. The player is playing a trick, and the magician is also playing, and if he is not careful, he will drop the card, and the speed is very fast, and he has no time to see clearly.
The old man is anxious, his eyes are bloodshot, and he must be dizzy, not only the elderly, but also young and strong, and his eyes are particularly good, and he will be dazzled when he encounters this situation.
When it's not wise, it's certainly not wise to do it. In just twenty minutes, the old man had already lost more than 200 yuan. When it was time to drive, the driver honked the horn, and the gang got out of the car, scattered, and quickly disappeared without a trace. The old man suddenly understood, and he said, "Liar, liar." ”
Then, he got out of the car and went to chase, which one to chase? He went back to the car and started calling his son, saying, "I was deceived in the car, and I won't go back today, so I have to find out the gang." ”
His son persuaded him: "Forget it, isn't it just two hundred yuan, spend money to buy a lesson." ”
The driver said: "This group of people only appeared in Guizhou, and it is estimated that many people do not know about it." Not a local, it's a state, not a county. You can hear the accent. ”
The old man still decided not to leave, he wanted to capture the gang alive, and when their car started slowly, the old man finally got out of the car, hoping that he would be able to find the crooks smoothly.
The project in Quancun started the latest because the plan was finalized the latest. Izumi Village decided to make a water cellar. However, how to implement it still needs to be carefully studied. They went to the village today to solve this problem.
At Mr. Wang's house, they met Mr. Chen, but the last time I came, they didn't see him. He was the one who proposed the plan to build a water cellar.
In fact, there is no living water in the location where Director Chen is located, and it basically depends on the rain to have water, and he proposed this plan, which has actually been used many times in their local area, and has been used for many years. This is the best case of seeking truth from facts.
He looks quite serious, it is said that his brother works outside, not part-time, but for a large company, mainly in charge of discipline, and the expression on his face is a portrayal of a person's profession. Director Chen's style is big, and he doesn't look like a friend who is approachable, and he really loses his face if he doesn't work in a large company.
If he laughed, it might not be Officer Chen. This laugh may be a knife hidden in the smile. Looks like he has enough ideas. The ability to express is better than that of Director Wang. His thoughts were told to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang could express them, which is his ability. The two people cooperate well and can successfully complete the water conservancy project. This project point can be withdrawn. However, the progress should not be too fast, and if it is too fast, it will not be easy to implement the next project that does not cost much money. It should complement each other.
At Director Wang's house, in addition to Ji Conan, the participants were technicians and friends of Lao Tan. Lao Tan's friends walk around Quancun all year round. This time, he was also invited to make suggestions, and they came to the meeting, in fact, considering that the project was in charge of the county branch, and Ji Conan was only the one who paid for it, and had no real power. The technician proposed to find a processing plant to make cement panels in the water cellar, and Director Chen proposed to let Director Wang decide first. Officer Wang was also not polite, and offered to let his younger brother do it. The matter is settled. This concludes the meeting. All that's left is to draft the contract, and leave it to the technician. There are no printers in the village.
Mr. Wang arranged a sumptuous lunch at noon, and everyone had a good meal. When eating, an agreement was basically reached, that is, to make a unified water cellar, to make a unified water cellar, that is, to prepare materials first, including cement, steel bars and sand and gravel, with materials, you can first make a water cellar puzzle, after the puzzle is done, there is a curing period, and after the maintenance period is over, it can be constructed and assembled.
The plan has been finalized, everyone is talking about some other gossip, and time flies! They returned in the afternoon.
Ji Conan suddenly remembered the scam in the car. They are obviously in a group, playing different roles, just like the three people in "Crazy Stone", they are all performing, however, the props are different, the purpose is the same, and the lines are almost the same, if the bystanders do not participate and watch coldly, they will find that there must be a problem, if they are itchy, they will participate, and the result will only fall deeper and deeper, and they can't stop, because this is the routine, eat the bait, bite the hook, and it is not so easy to break free. It's not surprising that you've seen a lot. If you have little knowledge, you will be easily deceived by your eyes, and if you are blinded by greed, your eyes will be dark, and you will not see the light. Life is a play, on the stage, everyone is playing their own role, there is no audience, basically everyone is a superstar, can interpret their own life, their own life path, this no one can replace. It's like eating, eating by yourself, on your own, and no one can do it on your behalf.
Ji Conan feels that people are really greedy, and because people are greedy, they will fall deeper and deeper, which is really a truth.
