"The Cultural Revolution is over." I said.

The fat man took the bowl and shook it in his hand, then poured a large sip of wine into his mouth and said, "It's over, it's all over." "As he said, for him everything was over.

The fat man's "home" was on a wasteland outside Xi'an, and he pointed to the big shed made of wooden planks and cement bags and said to me: "Dude, since you are here, I have to take you home to sit, don't dislike it, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, and you don't have to pay rent." ”

To be honest, I didn't expect the fat man to be mixed in this field now, looking at the waist-deep weeds on both sides of the shed, my heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, and I already smelled a foul smell before I got closer.

He probably saw my discomfort, and said with a smile: "Collect some stuff here, the city won't let it be piled up, I'll pull it here." Change a few dollars to buy some wine, regardless of the sky and the earth, but also chic, let's go. ”

I followed the fat man over, and all kinds of debits were piled up all over the yard, from building materials to scrap copper and iron, from bottles and cans to plastic waste, inside and outside the house, as long as I could see these things, I saw several rats running around in the yard chasing each other. The fat man's "bed" was made of two door panels, and there was a cassette player with a hornless speaker playing revolutionary songs, and a briquette stove by the windowsill with a broken pot and two unwashed bowls on it.

The fat man turned around and went into the next room for a while, and after a while, he shook his head and came out with two bottles of orange soda and said to me: "Ice, drink, I have everything here, I don't lack anything, I have already realized upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones." I followed the direction of his finger, good fellow, there is really a telephone at the head of the bed, I just don't know if it can still ring, anyway, I don't see the phone line.

I sat on the edge of the bed with a soda and asked, "Do you make money doing this?" ”

The fat man smiled at me: "Do you see that I have lost weight?" I looked up and down at the fat body and said, "It doesn't look bad, it's better than me." ”

"You're no better than me, what's the point of the inverted card, Xiaoyi, aren't you in Guangzhou, I heard that it's very close to Hong Kong?"

"What? Have you been? "I can't buy a train ticket, so to tell you the truth, if you really want to be over there, I'll show you the way and go to Shenzhen to collect old electrical appliances." Japan, the United States, and West Germany all let people come to Hong Kong by boat, and there are people there who specially renovate it, and then get it to China, at least this number. "The fat man gave me a slap in the face, which meant five times more.

"How do you know?" I asked.

The fat man pointed to the rags in the house and said, "I don't know what I'm doing here, if I have a hukou, I'll tell you that I'd have sent it earlier." It's just that you came, and you were mixed over there, let's cooperate, you are responsible for the purchase, I am responsible for the shipment, and the profit is easy for our brothers to say, whatever you want. ”

"Doesn't that count as smuggling?"

"You're afraid of a ball, don't worry, as long as you can get in, it's legal, I have someone over there."

"Who?"

The fat man pretended to be mysterious and said: "A Hong Kong man comes to me once a month, and he will take care of this matter, and you will be responsible for transporting the goods." Okay, let's tell you the truth, I'm pouring cultural relics here, these things are all cover-up, Xi'an is digging three feet down the ground are noble tombs, one on top of the other, my line is called eating 'ancestor rice', don't underestimate it, the pot under your feet is worth 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”

"What? Thousand! "I was a little surprised to see the gray jar.

The fat man lit a cigarette and handed me another one, "No fuss, I'll use it for the night at night, just take the water and flush it when he comes in a few days." ”

While we were talking, suddenly there was a cough outside the house, and the fat man immediately alertly motioned for me not to make a sound and lifted the pillow, and I saw him take something and stick it on his waistband, it seemed to be a pistol.

He gave me a wink, went out and opened the door, and after muttering outside the door for a while, he brought in a middle-aged man in a blue riding coat, who had a slanted scar on his face, which opened from the corner of his eye to his lips, and looked like a centipede. When the man came in, he was stunned at first, probably not expecting anyone to be here, and then he stared at me deadly, and I saw that there was a cold murderous aura in his eyes.

The fat man handed him a cigarette, but the man didn't answer it or stared at me, and the fat man explained to him: "It's okay, Ding Gongzi, this is my brother, my lifelong friendship, my own people." ”

Only then did the man turn his eyes and say to the fat man: "Tonight, in the orchard of Jiaojia Village in the north of the city, the old man who watched the garden has been arranged to hand it over to drink." I marked the place, neatly pointed, don't show your feet, the limelight has been tight recently. ”

The fat man took a note handed over by the man and nodded repeatedly: "Ding Gongzi, I will do something, you can rest assured." ”

After sending the man out, the fat man turned to me and said, "I'm going to run some errands in the evening, stay here, and I'll come back at dawn." ”

"Let's dig a grave." I said, in fact, I was a little worried about the fat man, but I still reminded: "That person just now doesn't look like a good person, and there is an evil spirit in his eyes." ”

The fat man took a puff of cigarette and looked at me and said: "Which one does not have blood on his hands in this business, that person's name is Ding Fang, behind him is the top spot in the Shaanxi underground world, Ding Shengwu Ding, the old man, every time I sell something, he has to take away thirty percent of the oil and water." Except for the Ding family, the whole Shaanxi can't get out of a decent thing, it is said that this is a rule for hundreds of years, and whoever breaks the rules will not end well. ”

"How can a grave robber be so rampant? Now, can the new China under the leadership of ** still have the underground order of the old society? Fatty, I see that you are also a thief, come on, stop doing it, wash your hands and follow me to the south, let's go and pour something casually, which is better than your business of losing your head at any time. ”

"Xiaoyi, you don't understand, the Ding family is a member of Romon, what is Romon? That's licensed, anyway, the water is very deep, and I only found out after I came in. Besides, they promised to clear my identity after tonight's vote, and I have to wait until tomorrow to go with you. ”

"Then why do you have to let you go, you've only been in Xi'an for a year or two, and the land here is full of snakes crawling and letting a foreigner participate in such an important matter."

The fat man turned his head and whispered, "I can do so much, in short, this is an opportunity for me." Identity is very important to me, otherwise I will have to hide for the rest of my life. ”

"Okay, since you're going, then we'll be brothers together, and I'll accompany you!"

"Don't get involved." "No, or you don't want to go, or you pull out that thing from your belt and shoot me in the head." "You ......"

The fat man gave a soft sigh and said: "Hey, okay, I can't guarantee that others won't let you in after you go, I heard that it was their palm-in-the-eighth leader Liu Qing and Liu Sanye who took the lead, and everyone on the road said that this guy was ruthless, and there were no less than ten cases just by burying him alive." ”

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the fat man and I were still drinking a little wine in the house, and there was a rush of wheels outside the house, and two people got off a van, and the fat man and I hurried out.

The fat man who came knew him, he was from Henan, he was only in his twenties, and he was a little unhappy when he looked at us with a drunken face: "You still dare to drink when you go to the ground?" The third master is here in person tonight, you should be careful. ”

The fat man handed him a cigarette and said, "It's okay, the third master takes care of me, this is my brother who wants to join the gang and go with him, can you help me talk to the third master over there?" As I spoke, I saw the fat man shove a stack of yellow bills into the man's pocket, and I recognized it as a stack of Hong Kong dollars.

The man put his hand in the bag, probably satisfied with the thickness of the stack of money, and said to the fat man: "Okay, I can't guarantee whether I accept it or not, you know the temper of the third master, it depends on this kid's own creation." ”

The car pulled us all the way, and the person who drove was Liu Sanye's driver named Yang Dali. The fat man entered this line because of him, when the fat man was working alone, he was caught when he went to the ground, and the person who arrested him was Yang Dali.

If there is no approval of the Ding family in the territory of Shaanxi, the fat man is going to be picked and broken at that time, and the four men held down the fat man and he turned over, and finally Yang Dali put a gun on the head to barely restrain it. Fortunately, Liu Sanye at that time took a fancy to the fat man's courage and let him go, because the fat man never said a word from beginning to end, even if he was pointed at the head with a gun, his face still did not change.

The car walked for about an hour, and the side of the road began to bump, and through the window, there was no starlight in the dark outside, and judging by the speed of the car, the road was getting harder and harder. After another half an hour, the car got into a forest, and the driver saw someone on the opposite side shaking a flashlight and stopped and flashed his headlights three times at the other party, and he said to us: "When you arrive, you all go down, and remember, don't talk nonsense before going to the ground." ”

The fat man answered and called me away, and when I asked him what the rules were, he only told me to just shut up.

This is an apple forest, the fruit on the tree is a little red, there are already three people waiting on the east side of the forest, there are five of us here, and as soon as we get there, there is an old man in a long coat and cloth shoes frowning and saying, "How can there be a living person?" Who brought it! ”

As soon as his voice fell, the two black-clothed people around him immediately pulled out their pistols from their waists, and seeing this situation, the fat man hurriedly said: "Third master, that is my brother, a lifelong friendship, I can't get along in my hometown and come to Xi'an to join me, I am thinking about bringing him to the third master to see, if it is suitable, you will accept it." ”

The old man glanced at the fat man and sneered: "Friendship over life? Confused! Hmph, I'll see how much life you have, Shi Dangdang, don't you dare to do it, okay, grab that raw face and chop off a finger. ”

I secretly said in my heart that I was about to turn around and run, but the two people had already rushed over quickly, and the two black muzzles on my head had been topped......
