Chapter 21: Theft of Motorcycles

Ma Shengli sat alone on the steps in front of the Agricultural Bank in a daze, and inadvertently, he saw an unlocked motorcycle, which was exactly the same model as the Yamaha motorcycle he was riding, except that it was only slightly in condition. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw this car, Ma Shengli's heart couldn't help but think. He remembered the motorcycle he had ridden, and the motorcycle key that he always kept in his pocket. I thought of the days I had lived since I came out of the Crystal Palace, and I thought of the long way to save money by picking up waste. Is it really my intention to suffer this poor sin for a long time in this unfortunate place? Thinking about it, a wicked thought suddenly popped into his mind: why not try to steal a motorcycle and sell it? Maybe the stolen car can't be sold for a good price in a hurry, but pushing it to the scrap yard, even if it is converted into scrap copper, it is more than enough to exchange for a return ticket!

Yes, that's it!

Ma Shengli stood up excitedly, but soon he sat down again. What if, what if someone catches you? Wouldn't it be that he entered the game, in that case, his face would be lost. Hi! I can't eat, I live on the trash can every day, and I'm so depressed, what's the use of my face for myself? Besides, how can you always be so unlucky, the first time you steal a car, you will be caught? Besides, a key can only open one lock, this is just an idea of mine, and it is still unknown whether the key in my hand can start the car in front of me. Ay! Otherwise, I'll go down and try it now, if the key in my hand can start this car, then my horse will be a great blessing, and the party will not miss stealing the car today; If there is no movement after the key is inserted, I will put the idea away one after another, as if I didn't think about it at the beginning, and continue my career as a waste picker. That's it! Thinking of this, Ma Shengli looked behind him attentively, and saw that there were several long lines in front of the counter in the bank, and there was no sign of anyone coming out for the time being, so he quickly stood up, and rushed down the steps with a brisk step, he took out the key in his pocket while running, and soon, he came to the motorcycle.

The first time he was a car thief, he was still a little nervous, his heart was pounding in his chest, and the hand holding the key became disobedient. It took several hard inserts to insert the key into the keyhole, and with a twist of his hand, "Woo-woo-" The motorcycle broke the silence and called out happily. Although Ma Shengli was used to touching motorcycles and had already prepared in his heart, he was still startled by this sudden noise. There is a door! Ma Shengli couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he quickly kicked the supporting legs, a harrier turned over, stepped on the motorcycle steadily, and took the accelerator, and the mount under him was like a wild horse, "whooping" and rushing to the wide road in front of the bank.

Ma Shengli galloped all the way and did not dare to stay. He was very scared, and always felt that someone was chasing him behind him, so he would turn around every fork, turn around when he saw a bend, turn several crossings in a row, turn his head and see that there was no movement behind him, and his beating heart calmed down slightly. He began to think about how to quickly dispose of this motorcycle in his hand, and wanted to go to the second-hand car market, where he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price, but unfortunately he didn't know the path and didn't dare to ask people; There are a few motorcycle repair shops on the side of the road, in H city, the general car repair shop will do some sales of second-hand cars, I don't know if N city is the same, but my own clothes are too sloppy, and I dare not openly peddle it, worried that my mouth has not opened, people already suspect that you are a thief. Think about it, or sell it to the scrap collection station properly, all the scrap collectors in the world are all the way, don't eat some floating food, as much as you expect to collect scrap to live, I'm afraid there are many out of ten closing.

The scrap yard is not difficult to find, after the front crossing, drive for another three or four minutes, and turn into the alley on the left. After coming to N City for more than ten days, he has turned around on these roads, so he is more familiar with the nearby streets. He had sold bottles twice at the scrapyard, and the owner seemed to be kind enough to not try to push him down because he was a beggar from a foreign country. Thinking like this, the motorcycle under him did not stop, and he avoided left and right along the way, speeding forward. Just when Ma Shengli was about to drive to the intersection in front of him, the green light suddenly jumped into a red light, and Ma Shengli didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to stop and wait patiently.

The more afraid of the red light, the more there is a red light, Ma Shengli is calm on the surface, and his heart is as anxious as a cat scratching. In fact, he was not afraid of the red light, but the police standing under the red light. Fortunately, the two traffic policemen did not notice him at the moment, and they were standing on the opposite corner chatting. The invention of the traffic light is good, not only to free the police comrades from the heavy command, but also to reduce the danger of standing in the middle of the road, the most important thing is that they do not have to pay full attention to the situation on the road, Ma Shengli is secretly glad in his heart.

The forty-five seconds of red light diminished in anxious waiting, and when there were still more than ten seconds left, Ma Shengli began to start the motorcycle, twisted, and did not respond; After another twist, there was still no response. Ma Shengli felt that something was wrong, and thought that if he dropped anchor at this moment, then there would be a good show. So he twisted it a few more times, and the motorcycle under his crotch still didn't move at all. The green light in front of him was on, and there were dozens of cars behind Ma Shengli, Ma Shengli couldn't go, and they couldn't drive the car over his head, so the horn sounded. Several drivers also stuck their heads out of the window and yelled at him, presumably swearing some ugly words. Ma Shengli's sweat was in a hurry, in fact, he could have moved the car to the side, but at this moment he had already panicked his front paws, and he didn't know how to start, he was there and pat, hit, twist, and twist, but the motorcycle was like a donkey without humming or chattering, without the slightest initial spirit.

The sound of the car's horn and the shouting of the driver caught the attention of the police, who walked towards Ma Shengli with a walkie-talkie.

"What's going on with the car?" A policeman asked him.

"Bad...... Bad...... It's broken. Ma Shengli looked up and saw that it was a policeman, panicked, and his mouth became stammered.

"Why don't you wear a helmet?" The police asked him again.

"I ...... I ......" Ma Shengli was speechless.

"Where's your driving license? Show it to me! Seeing Ma Shengli's panicked, the police ordered.

"I ......" Ma Shengli reached into his pocket to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out for a long time. He remembered that his driver's license, along with his wallet, had been stolen by the damn thief.

"Where's your ID?" The policeman accentuated his tone.

"......" Ma Shengli was completely dumb.

"Pull over, hurry!" Seeing that he couldn't take out anything, the policeman ordered. The traffic police spoke Mandarin, Ma Shengli listened very clearly, listening to the policeman's tone, he should be suspicious of him, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, knowing that this time it was really bad.

The words of the police are holy decrees for the drivers, and Ma Shengli can only be obediently executed. He reluctantly pushed the car to the side of the road, and as he walked, he thought about a way to get out, thinking that this time it was a lie, and he couldn't deceive the police. Thinking so, the car was about to push to the side of the road, he glanced at the police, and when he saw that the police were not following closely, he pushed the motorcycle to the middle of the road with both hands, and ran off the road where he was going.

The motorcycle almost smashed into the tall policeman's feet, which really startled him. He raised his eyes and saw that the horse had run away, which confirmed his judgment even more, so he shouted: "Stop! Don't run! Then he followed and chased after him. Seeing this, another policeman also hurriedly ran to the side of the road, flew onto a police motorcycle, pulled up the siren, and chased after him.

If you go back more than ten days, Ma Shengli may not have the upper hand in this game of cat and mouse, but in recent days, the amount of food has not kept up, and his physical fitness has been much worse, and he was caught by two traffic policemen before he ran far. He was taken to the traffic police team, and the two policemen who arrested him began to interrogate him in turns, Ma Shengli thought of countermeasures on the road, let you wear out your mouth, I only use one trick to deal with it, that is, pretend to be deaf and dumb, see what you can do to me, if you can't ask a ugly person, you will definitely let me go. The result was slightly different from what Ma Shengli expected, the two policemen did not open their mouths when they saw him alive or dead, but did not embarrass him, but politely sent him to the police station.

Ma Shengli was heartbroken, and thought that no matter where you send me, I will give you a Xu Shu to enter the Cao camp - without saying a word, stealing horizontally and vertically does not commit capital crimes, and over time, you still have to let me go.

Ma Shengli was brought into the interrogation room, and there were two policemen in charge of this interrogation, one was older, probably the leader; One is younger and is in charge of the transcription.

"Name?" The older policeman began to interrogate Ma Shengli.

“......”

"Origin?" The policeman asked again.

“......”

"Is the motorcycle yours?"

“......”

The comrades at the police station didn't answer a word when they saw Ma Shengli, they weren't annoyed, they were probably used to seeing him as a role, and they didn't call or scold. The man who looked like a leader had been observing Ma Shengli, seeing his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, looking haggard, probably overly hungry, so he changed a strategy, and he asked Ma Shengli with a smile: "Have you had lunch?" ”

This can ask the key point of Ma Shengli, I can't remember how many days, I don't know what the taste of rice is. Every day is picking up a mouthful, now it's afternoon, since he came out in the morning, he hasn't found anything to wrap his stomach, and he has been tossing for stealing a car until now, and his stomach has long been making trouble. Seeing that the police comrade asked him with a pleasant face, he thought that if he didn't tell the truth, maybe people would be able to give him a stutter if they were happy, so he shook his head and whispered no.

There were two people in the interrogation room, and the man who looked like the leader glanced at the officer in charge of the record, who went out, and soon came in with a bag of bread and a bottle of drink, and placed them on the table in front of Ma Shengli. Seeing the food on the table, Ma Shengli's eyes were straight, and he twitched his Adam's apple vigorously and swallowed his saliva, eager to rush forward and swallow them all in his stomach. But this is the police station, he understands his identity at the moment, and reason warns him not to be presumptuous.

"Want to eat?" The leader pierced the desire in his heart at a glance, and asked him casually.

"I want to eat." Ma Shengli withdrew his greedy gaze and nodded vigorously.

"If you want to eat it, you can eat it." The leader smiled and said, "Explain the problem clearly, and you can eat." ”

Explain the problem? What is the problem? Isn't it just stealing motorcycles? If I confess honestly, it will be an admission that I am a thief, and I may be locked up for a few days, not to mention the loss of freedom, and I can't afford to lose this person! Don't say it! Don't talk about starvation! Thinking of this, he lowered his head again and repeated the old trick.

"You don't want to say yes, do you?" The leader stood up and said to the policeman in charge of the record: "Officer Li, bring bread and drinks, let's go!" Let him reflect on himself here, and when he has figured it out, we will come again. ”

Officer Li agreed, quickly cleaned up the things on the table, and followed the leader out of the room. With the muffled sound of the door "banging", there was a sound of locks outside the house, and Ma Shengli was left alone in the house.

After a few hours of silence, the light in the room gradually dimmed from the initial brightness, could it have been past dinner time? Ma Shengli was thinking. My stomach is so hungry that I can't control my body shaking at the thought of words related to eating. In fact, since the policeman left the room, his mind has not stopped, as if two people were trying to convince him from all over the corner.

The stomach said, "Confess, brother! I'm hungry! After explaining, you will have something to eat. ”

Luck said: "Confused! Foolish, brother! If you confess, you will be ruined from now on, and how will you be a person in the future? ”

The belly said, "Don't listen to it!" Is it important to be a human being, or is it important to have a full stomach, and you are not a saint, is it necessary to suffer this sin? ”

Luck said: "People are shameless, and they don't want to die?" No one knows about sneaking around in the field, once you are detained, no one knows about it, and you will no longer be innocent in your file, can the police station in province Z not contact the police station in province G? Which is more important, do you weigh it? ”

The two are at odds with each other, and they have high arguments with each other, so that Ma Shengli has no idea for a while, and he doesn't know who to listen to. In the end, it was the stomach requirements that prevailed, Ma Shengli wanted to explain it, fame and fortune are things outside the body, and reputation can't be eaten, besides, stealing a car is not a capital crime, it's a big deal to be detained for a few days, fined a little money, and save yourself from being locked up here and ignored, when is it a head? Thinking of this, he was afraid that he would change his mind, so he quickly stood up and went to knock on the door.

The door opened, and it was the same two policemen who entered, both smiling when they entered, as if everything had been expected. So in a question, a transcript, Ma Shengli told how he came to Z Province, unfortunately encountered theft on the bus, and begged on the streets of N City to no avail, and he had to pick up garbage in order to survive.

I'm so hungry, I want to go home so much, Ma Shengli cried.

The two policemen finished the transcript and did not embarrass the horse, and in the end, they left him the bread and drinks they had bought in the morning.

Ma Sikui came to pick up Ma Shengli on the third day after Ma Shengli entered the police station. After contacting the police station in Ma Shengli's hometown, the police station learned that Comrade Ma Shengli had no criminal record and had always been a law-abiding citizen. Nian was a first-time offender, so he was dealt with leniently, and his family was notified to pay a bail of 1,500 yuan, and Ma Shengli was released.

Walking out of the gate of the police station, bathed in the bright sunshine and breathing in the fresh air, Ma Shengli understood that he was free again. The body is free, but the heart is not relaxed. Si Kui asked him, how could he be in this ghost place in Province Z? Ma Shengli was immediately dumb. He didn't know how to answer the fourth uncle's question, saying that he had gambled money? Say you owe nearly 300,000 to a loan shark? Say you came here because you ran away from debt? Can't say! The fourth uncle has doted on himself since he was a child, and although he hates iron and steel for what he does, since his father's death, every time he makes a mistake outside, it is the fourth uncle who is helping him wipe his buttocks. This time this mistake is bigger, if you really say it, I'm afraid that the fourth uncle won't be able to accept it, so it's better to hide it for a while.

Ma Sikui asked him several times in a row, and saw that Ma Shengli was blushing and bowing his head silently, and then looked at his nephew's unkempt head, unshaven beard, and his eyes were much bigger than before because of his thinness, thinking that he had been stimulated outside these days, so he didn't ask anymore. Thinking that the time is still early, staying in Province Z is not the same thing, or rushing back to his hometown earlier, so as to reassure the family, so Ma Sikui took Ma Shengli to the long-distance bus station together, and asked at the window in the station, the conductor said that the shuttle bus to H city in G province is only two times a day, six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening. It's already past 10 a.m., so you can only get a ticket for 6 p.m.

It was still early before the time to take the bus, and the uncle and nephew wandered around the streets of N City, one to kill time, and the other to be an unplanned trip, by the way to feel the customs of a different place. Walking and walking, Ma Shengli still did not change the habit he had developed in recent days, always looking for the ground with his eyes, he saw a garbage can on the side of the road in front of him, and next to the bucket was thrown an apple that had been eaten by someone who had been half-pulled, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked forward quickly, picked up the apple and stuffed it into his mouth. Si Kui saw it in the back, hurriedly rushed up, stretched out his hand and knocked off the apple in Ma Shengli's hand, saying that it was unhygienic, how could the garbage be eaten? Ma Shengli ignored him, lowered his head and went to find the apple that had been knocked off, but was stopped by Ma Sikui.

Are you hungry? Ma Sikui asked.

Ma Shengli nodded.

Why didn't you say it earlier when you were hungry? Let's go, the fourth uncle will take you to the next restaurant, Sikui said.

The two of them found a restaurant and sat down, Ma Sikui ordered four dishes, one soup, and asked the waiter to bring a towel, and asked Ma Shengli to go to the sink to wash up well, clean up like a little person, and then sit down on the table to eat.

It has been more than ten days since he came to Z Province, and when he saw a hot meal that he could eat for the first time, Ma Shengli was so excited that tears were about to fall. He stretched out his hand and picked up his chopsticks, picked up the rice bowl and shaved the rice into his mouth, but before he could swallow the rice in his mouth, a large piece of food was stuffed into his mouth again, so that his teeth could not chew it. Si Kui kept persuading him to eat slowly, saying that there were too many meals and vegetables, and it was not enough for the fourth uncle to order more. But it didn't work, Ma Shengli choked there several times, his neck was stalked, his eyes were staring, and the food in his mouth couldn't go down or out. Seeing this situation, Si Kui's rice couldn't be eaten, so he hurriedly dropped his chopsticks and ran over to beat his back. He pushed all the plates in front of Ma Shengli and said don't worry, uncle won't eat, leave all the rice and vegetables to you, don't choke on it.

Looking at Ma Shengli's gobbling up, Ma Sikui became more distressed the more he looked at it. He saw that Ma Shengli had eaten almost all the dishes on the plate, and hurriedly asked him if the food was enough, Ma Shengli's mouth was full of food, and he couldn't answer for a while, so he just nodded vigorously. Seeing that there was not much rice in Ma Shengli's bowl, Ma Sikui left the table and went to the owner of the restaurant to settle the bill. Ma Shengli here took the last bite of rice into his mouth, only to see him push away the rice bowl, his tongue swept around his lips in satisfaction, and he leaned on the back of the chair and burped. Seeing that the fourth uncle hadn't come over, he sat on the chair in a daze, and saw that there was still a little soup in the three empty plates in front of him, and a lot of water involuntarily grew under the base of his tongue, so he picked up the plates one by one, stretched out his long tongue and licked the juice in the plate clean.

Ma Sikui finished settling the account and came over to tell Ma Shengli that he could go, Ma Shengli answered, and as soon as he stood up, he sat down with his stomach covered. Sikui asked him what was wrong, and he said that his stomach hurt terribly. Ma Sikui guessed that he was overeating, and he ate too much at once today, and it was estimated that his stomach was bloated, so he helped him to the sofa next to him and sat down. The uncle and nephew were watching TV while eating, and after a while, Ma Shengli's stomach really didn't hurt too much, Sikui thought that it was okay to go out early, so he simply sat here for a while longer, and stayed until the restaurant was about to close before leaving.

Lying on the luxury bus bound for his hometown, Ma Shengli's mood was not calm for a long time. Looking back on the days and nights when I came to Province Z, it is not an exaggeration to use the word "nightmare" to describe it. Ridiculous! At first, I thought that I would come out to escape debts, find a job, and stay for a year and a half, but it turned out to be a farce, a farce with a lot of money. Be a beggar, you can't get money; playing performance art and almost starving to death; The first time I stole someone's motorcycle, I was sent to the bureau. Ma Shengli, Ma Shengli, look at your little bit of talent, why are you so useless?

Outside the window, the night was getting darker, and the distant scenery was full of shadows, constantly receding towards the back of the car. Today, the wandering life is over, but what will happen to the next days? Could it be the beginning of another nightmare? Thinking of the unknown fate, Ma Shengli's mood fell into anxiety again.

When Ma Shengli appeared at the door, Ma Shengli's mother and daughter-in-law almost couldn't recognize him. Creation makes people, in just ten days, a person has changed so much, how can it not make people sad? Ma Shengli and his mother walked around Ma Shengli back and forth, obediently asking long and short questions, Ma Shengli was ashamed, and he had no intention of answering, and his eyes did not dare to stay on the faces of his mother and daughter-in-law for a second. He stepped into the house in three steps and two steps, and when his mother and daughter-in-law entered the house, he closed the door with his backhand. The daughter-in-law and his mother were frightened by his strange behavior, and wondered what he was doing when he closed the door in broad daylight, Ma Shengli could not have been sick, right? But he didn't say a word, and he didn't pay attention to the questions of the two people, but rushed straight into the kitchen to find food, lifted the lid of the pot, opened the cupboard, and stuffed it into his mouth when he saw it, as if he had been hungry for eighteen years and had not eaten, and his mouth was stuffed with bulging bags, making his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look stupid.

After more than ten days of debt evasion, he had no impression of anything else, only hunger left a deep mark on his heart. Ma Shengli's mother can't care about asking her own questions, next to her is a good mouthful, let Ma Shengli eat slowly, where can Ma Shengli listen, because he ate too quickly, choked, stretched his neck and hiccuped there, one left, one right, endlessly. Ma Shengli and his mother brought a glass of water for her son in distress, watched her son drink a few sips, and stopped hiccups, thinking that she could sit down and ask about her son's situation carefully.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! There was a sharp knock at the door.

Ma Shengli thought to himself, who is this? Like a ghost, she glanced at her daughter-in-law, who understood, turned around and went to open the door, but before her hand touched the latch, the door was knocked open. Five big men came in from outside the door, and several people closed the door after entering the house.

The leader was a fat red-faced man with a beard and cheeks, and he did not wait for the invitation of the owner of the house, but walked to the sofa by himself, and sat down on the sofa. Behind him, four big men cut their hands upside down, lined up. He raised Erlang's legs high and glared at Ma Shengli with his eyes.

"Just ...... Just ...... Brother Gang...... Good! After seeing the face of the person who came, Ma Shengli's face turned white, and the cup that was sent to his lips slipped from his hand unconsciously, and with a "snap", it fell to the ground and shattered. (To be continued.) )
