Chapter 9 Arms Dealers

The poor are also human beings, so why are they inferior to you? Liu Xu's self-esteem was bursting, and he set his sights on the Muslim Hotel, found out where the ammunition was stored, and gathered a few brothers to prepare to steal some ammunition.

Most of Liu Xu's Hanako gang couldn't afford to go to school, so he had almost no helpers in the school, and he didn't dare to find our people, so he had to find a few students from other schools to commit the crime together.

Liu Xu had already stepped on the plate, and he was also quite smart, knowing that the ammunition was heavy, so they picked up seven or eight bamboo baskets containing oranges, which could be dragged directly on the snow, like climbing a plow. At that time, the railway department gave oranges to the workers every winter, and the oranges were all green, large, sweet and sour, and a family could divide them into four or five baskets. The bamboo basket containing the oranges was made of bamboo sticks, boxy, with a lid on it, and the whole body was fastened with iron wire, which was quite strong, and they made a few handles with ropes, and in the evening, the gang ran to the outside of the Muslim hotel to gather.

In winter, the moon is huge, and the moonlight is dazzling on the snow, and even though there is no flashlight, you can still see it clearly. People in the small village slept early, Liu Xu arranged for people to go to Uncle Ma's house and two intersections to stare at a little, in that era, in order to save trouble, the village people relied on wooden tents to build a warehouse, so the back of the warehouse is a few pieces of wood, Liu Xu used pliers to loosen the wires and nails of the wooden tent, and then dig down the wood, dig loose, and pull up together, even pull four roots, it forms a hole, just enough to allow a child to drill in and out freely.

Liu Xu arranged for a small man to get in, this warehouse was full of green ammunition boxes, he opened a box, there were boxes of bullets inside, he packed them with bullets, and transported them out one by one, filling six baskets. The kid found that there were still a few boxes of shells, and he shipped them out with dozens of them. Then they restored the barn to its original state, and a group of people took advantage of the snowy night to pull six baskets of ammunition home.

Liu Xu regretted that he couldn't get a gun, there were six baskets of ammunition empty, this thing was golden, but it couldn't be used for money. Liu Xu and the others also sell it at school, and they are cheaper than Muslim restaurants for one dollar. At that time, the students had one hand, and I had seen three kinds of shells, some with tail fins, some spindle-shaped, some silver, with red circles, yellow circles, and yellow and green circles on them, and I couldn't tell what they were used for. At that time, I also bought it from Liu Xu, this kid is indeed a good hand at doing business, and he did business with me regardless of his previous suspicions, and gave the wholesale price, I had accumulated a whole iron box of bullets, the big one was about 10 cm long, and the small pistol bullet was cute and small, my lesbian table was the literary and artistic committee member of the class, and there were several rounds in her stationery box, I heard that Liu Xu gave it to her for free, just because she was good-looking.

Bullets became our main toys, and at that time, the chess pieces I used to play chess with my grandfather were all bullets, and no one could see the bullet casings.

The good times did not last long, just after the winter, the police came, first the Muslim hotel was inexplicably closed, and then the police preached from school to school, saying that bullets are arms and cannot be bought and sold, which is illegal, saying that a large number of military bullets are now circulating on the market, which has brought great hidden dangers to social security, and it was originally to send troops to encircle and suppress, but in line with the policy of frank leniency and strict resistance, the police first came to persuade them, and then dispatched the army to correct the law on the spot, who collected it and handed it over quickly, and the next step was for the army to drive tanks into the village and go to search from house to house. If one is found, it will be taken and shot.

The next day, all the children brought the bullets that they had treasured to the school, and the shells on the floor were sliding against the wall, and the bullets in the middle of the floor were piled up into a hill, and our teacher was talking and laughing and walking towards the house with the police, only to see the mountain of bullets and shells in the classroom, turn around and run out. The police were also shocked, they didn't dare to think that so many could be found in one class. Later, Xiao Ma said that his father and his uncle were arrested, but everything was easy to do in those days, and within a month, Lao Ma came back by himself, and the guise of the Muslim Hotel was hung up again.

The arms incident was boiling over for a while, and one day a friend of my father's public security came to the house for a drink, and when I talked about it, I was doing my homework on the sidelines, and they could hear their conversation clearly.

"These bullets are years old, they are really well preserved, there are many kinds of shells, and the rifles are all covered with 38 big caps, I heard that they dug them out from Beishan." My dad didn't take it seriously, and it was a bolt from the blue in my ears.

The next morning, I found the pony, and asked him to tell his father about the iron gate, so angry that I beat him, and after many years, I also figured it out, not to mention that I can't open the door, even if it is really opened, then it may be me who is caught, blessing and misfortune? An Neng knows.

Listening to the pony, his father and his uncle opened the door with gas cuts, in addition to boxes of ammunition, there are many guns sealed in wooden boxes, there are many mountain cannons lined up on the ground, the old Ma brothers are scared enough, this thing Lao Ma didn't dare to move, he just moved the ammunition, those guns, cannons were later taken away by the police, this matter his uncle himself took the bag, took the crime off, was sentenced to fifteen years, Lao Ma has since adopted his uncle's daughter, as his own.
