721, Maple Forest Night Snow (20)

With the speed of the aircraft as a reference, City F, which is only 400 kilometers away from City C in a straight line, is undoubtedly close at hand, but Xiao Fan has only come to this city for the second time.

The first time was in response to the strong call of Lan Shuilan, I really couldn't find a reason to refuse, when Zhang Feng and his mother Xiao Liyun were missing, and the security office came to the door again. Now that things have changed, it is clear that looking back on the past, such caution is completely meaningless.

And this time to take the aircraft, the card payment is no longer there, so the city and even the country around the flight cabin, the crowd of people, the scene of passengers flocking has also become a thing of the past, the waiting hall is deserted, the aircraft to carry passengers is expensive, has been the vast majority of people can not bear the pressure, Xiao Fan paid in cash.

Fortunately, although the currency itself is also depreciating, there is still a price tag for items in the stores and shopping places that are still open, although those prices are turning over and running up on the original basis, which is obviously seriously inflated, and during this period, the private or state-owned banks in various places have not yet launched the latest settlement system, and the people's consumption, trading and transactions can basically only be paid in cash.

After the initial panic, the scene on the streets of F and C is similar, and people's lives are gradually calming down, waiting to see how the situation changes. Only the garbage is thrown everywhere at will, the street trees, curbs and various facilities for the benefit of the people are not so clean, and obviously caused by the dirt caused by no one to control, which exposes the decadence and indulgence of the troubled times.

Although Xiao Fan has never been to Lan Shuilan's residence, he still knows the address after all, and as soon as he got off the aircraft, he immediately dialed Lan Shuilan's number, and sure enough, it was still the man who claimed to be the second uncle Lan Shanping who answered the phone, and a few words of greeting were over, but the place of the appointment was not Lan Shuilan's home, but a natural botanical garden in the eastern suburbs - Fenglin Ancient Road.

Xiao Fan sneered in his heart, although the man who held Lan Shuilan's mobile phone in his hand, although it was obviously unfavorable to him, Xiao Fan relied on his agility in body movements, and his strength was even stronger than the world, and he was not afraid of any conspiracy of the man at all, so he simply went to the danger alone, and he also wanted to follow the man's line to investigate Lan Shuilan's whereabouts.

Stopped a taxi, the driver said that he only accepted cash, and asked to collect the money before carrying passengers, as for the cost, according to the mileage of the cruise map, the middle-aged driver said with an apologetic face, and apologized while talking, but the attitude was still resolute. To such a degraded economic order, such a business strategy seems to be nothing wrong, and the advantage is to ensure the income of the driver's labor.

Xiao Fan agreed, from the good as the flow, just from the city to the suburbs of the short road of more than 60 kilometers, the driver's asking price is 600, equivalent to 10 yuan per kilometer, compared with the previous ten times, Xiao Fan quietly paid for it, and his heart couldn't help but throb.

Due to insisting on withdrawing cash every day, the cash in his hand is piling up, but at the moment when people's hearts are unstable, the speed of Han Palace's credit miscarriage is accelerating, and Xiao Fan also has some fearful suspicions, and sooner or later the money will become a pile of waste paper.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road, fewer vehicles, F City is a heavy industrial city, the commercial area occupies a large proportion, and it is more prosperous than C City. The driver talked boastfully all the way, and he was overlamented that he might be more pessimistic about what the future would become.

Sixty miles of road, even if the speed of sixty yards per hour is only an hour to arrive, not to mention that the road on the way is deserted, it will take twenty minutes to arrive at the botanical garden, Xiao Fan strode in, the two six-meter-high fence iron gates are not closed all year round, Xiao Fan looked left and right, except for the various forms of maple trees densely planted near and far, he did not see a ghost, in the end he still took out his mobile phone, and made another call.

Who knew that the bell was cut off just a few times, Xiao Fan was in doubt in his heart, and the footsteps behind him sounded, and five sturdy men walked out of the guard room and were walking towards him. It seems that these people themselves are in the virtual guard's room, the room is not small, there seems to be a few in and out, and the walls on both sides of the exterior are painted with symmetrical words: protect the ecological landscape, protect ourselves.

Xiao Fan hurriedly caught up with him, and shouted from afar: "Which one is the second uncle Lan Shanping?" ”

At that time, the two parties gradually approached, and the five people looked at each other a few times with strange expressions, and then looked at Xiao Fan together, and one of the men who seemed to be the oldest stepped forward and asked, "Are you Xiao Xiao...... Is Xiao Fan right? ”

"Ah, second uncle, I'm glad to be there!" Xiao Fan's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands to shake the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned a blind eye, put his right hand in his pocket, took out a soft-pack cigarette case with his left hand, casually flicked a cigarette between his lips, and said with two rows of black and yellow teeth: "I'm not your second uncle, and I'm not surnamed Lan, Xiao Xiao, you're welcome, come with us." After speaking, he lit a cigarette.

"Oh, why then?" Xiao Fan nodded, his face was even more surprised than the other party, and then asked, "Why should I go with you?" My wife's blue water blue mobile phone, why is it in your hand? ”

Several people next to him laughed, it seemed that Xiao Fan's question was very humorous, but the middle-aged man who was in front of Xiao Fan didn't laugh, slowly spit out a cigarette, and said: "You really have a lot of problems, come with us, everything will be clear." ”

"Where?" Xiao Fan asked pretending to be puzzled.

"That's it."

The middle-aged man pointed at the doorman.

Xiao Fanxin said, could it be that the blue water is in there? But he didn't say any more, and went that way.

Xiao Fan's departure became a situation where he was in front and the five of them were behind, and suddenly felt that his shoulders and backs were tight, and it seemed that there were two people, one left and one right, tightening his arms, taking advantage of the standard tactical action of an arrester, lifting Xiao Fan's arms up and down, and waiting to press him to kneel on the ground.

Because the armpit ligament was forcibly pressed down, the pain was unbearable, and only by squatting down could the impact of this pressure be suspended, and kneeling on the ground was also a gesture of surrender by the arrestee.

But this time these people obviously recognized the wrong object, the two only felt a sharp pain between their wrists, a huge force suddenly attacked, completely too late to accept the natural avoidance reaction brought by the conditioned reflex, their hands invariably flipped outward, and the flip amplitude was very large, only to hear the "Titicaca" firecrackers like four consecutive sounds, the two people's four wrists were broken, and the connection between the tendons and flesh no longer existed.

The two people who did it burst into tears and snot and hissed miserably, and the remaining three were shocked and at a loss.

Xiao Fan turned around and said with a smile: "Are you kidding with me?" You don't know each other very well, hehe, you guys are so invisible. ”
