Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Robbery

Lou Xiao'e nodded and sighed softly: "I know, but my dad is always uneasy, and he has been running around these days, hoping to find something to do." ”

Xu Qiang's heart jumped, and he heard the uneasiness in Lou Xiao'e's tone, her uneasiness was mainly conveyed to her by her father, although she didn't say anything, but getting married early can explain a lot of problems.

"Xiao'e, finding a job will not solve the problem, on the contrary, there may be bigger problems, your father really wants to do something, he can start from this aspect."

Saying this, Xu Qiang turned his head and whispered a few words in Lou Xiao'e's ear, Lou Xiao'e listened to him, her eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a little more smile between her eyebrows.

"Hey, I know, I'll go back and talk to my dad."

Xu Qiang nodded, and pressed the road with his future daughter-in-law for a while, and saw that she was in a much cheerful mood, so he rode a bicycle and sent her home.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one in the courtyard, and when he pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he saw that an aunt happened to come out of the house, carrying a cloth bag in her hand, and it looked like she was going out.

"Auntie, are you going out?" Xu Qiang smiled and said hello to an aunt.

"Hey, Hadron is back." Aunt Yi was in a good mood, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger, so she didn't say much to Xu Qiang, and went out.

Xu Qiang went into the backyard to feed the chickens again, cleaned up the chicken coop by the way, and when he went home to wash his hands, he really felt that his brother should find a daughter-in-law, and he didn't want to serve these two old hens every day.

In the afternoon, Xu Damao went to play a movie, and he didn't come back from work, Xu Qiang didn't want to cook alone, so he took a bite of two steamed buns casually, and leaned on the single bed and began to flip the book.

He found that it was also a good thing to read a book when he was bored, it used to be all about passing the time, but now he liked it a little, and after a while, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Here we are." Xu Qiang got up and pulled his shoes to open the door, and saw Jiang Xiaoyi standing at the door and the young woman he had seen during the day, that is, Jiang Xiaoyi's sister-in-law, he remembered that it seemed to be Xu Huifang.

"Sister Xiaoyi, Sister Xu, please come in." Politely beckoned the two to come in and sit down, he went to the Eight Immortals Table and took two white porcelain cups to make tea for the two of them, and sat down himself.

Xu Huifang glanced around, and saw that although the room was not big, it was well arranged, and what made her find it most interesting was that there were two cushions on a single bed as a sofa, and two low cabinets in front of it, on which a thick layer of oilcloth was laid as a coffee table.

This kind of arrangement not only saves the money to buy a sofa coffee table, but also can be used to entertain guests.

The three of them first exchanged a few polite words, and Xu Qiang went straight to the topic: "Sister Xiaoyi, is there something to do here?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyi turned her head and glanced at Xu Huifang, Xu Huifang immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, it's my sister who is looking for something for you, first, to thank you for the apricots last time, and secondly, I want to ask, sister still needs something here, I don't know where you ...... here."

Xu Qiang nodded and asked directly: "Sister Xu, what do you want, I'll ask first, if there is anything specific, what price, I will ask first, and reply in two or three days." ”

Xu Huifang saw that Xu Qiang did not refuse, knowing that he must still be doing this, the smile on his face became a little more enthusiastic:

"That's the case, my mother's side now wants two boxes of snacks from Daoxiang Village, and also wants five catties of rare fruits, as for at least two cigarettes, if there is the best in China, if not, forget it, two bottles of wine, must be two pots, but the year is long."

Xu Qiang lowered his head and thought about it, in fact, he was looking at the space, but there were things, and they were not too expensive compared to the outside, which meant that he had a system, and he really couldn't get it if he wanted to change it to someone else.

Not to mention anything else, just the dim sum of Daoxiang Village, the thing has not come out before it is set to go, there is no way to do it ordinary people can't touch it at all, the fruit is still that sentence, the supply and marketing cooperatives are cheap, but one does not pick one, and the other is often out of stock.

Chinese cigarettes are even rarer, not to mention forty or fifty yuan, but also a specific cigarette ticket, the second pot head is easy to get, but they are all ordinary years, and they are not seen in the world for a long time, and they basically belong to the things that circulate above.

Xu Huifang asked for these things, and it was estimated that he was going to do something big, but Xu Qiang would not ask more, only nodded and agreed, indicating that he would ask, and tell Lao Jiang if he had a letter in three or two days.

Seeing off the two, Xu Qiang saw that it was not early outside, put on his clothes and went to the public toilet to solve the major events in his life, and was ready to wash and sleep, but found that Xu Damao had just pushed a bicycle back and swayed.

"Brother, why did you come back?" Xu Qiang was stunned for a moment, he thought that Xu Damao would not come back today, after all, it was dark, and he used to go to the countryside to show movies and sometimes came back in two or three days.

"Hey, don't mention it, something happened halfway, fortunately there was a liberation of that kid with me, otherwise it would have really capsized in the gutter today."

Xu Damao said as he parked his bicycle and went directly into Xu Qiang's house, Xu Qiang poured him a glass of water and asked him to drink some first.

Xu Damao was embarrassed, his hair was a little messy, his face was still a little bruised, and there was a lot of mud on his clothes, which looked like he had fallen.

Xu Damao drank the water, took off the muddy shirt and pants outside, used the washbasin to draw water and began to wash, and when the washing was finished, he sat on the single bed and began to talk about today's things:

In fact, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but he has only heard of it before and has never seen it, that is, when he came back halfway, he encountered a robbery.

In these years, the roads in the countryside are not good, and there are no people in some places for dozens of miles, there are those who can't live that day, and the ghosts are confused and want to rob the road, and when they are lucky, they just lose something, and when they encounter the ruthless direct robbery, the corpse is thrown into the ravine, and it is gnawed clean by the beast in a few days, and no one dies or a corpse is seen.

However, under normal circumstances, the robbery is also divided into people, like Xu Damao, who goes to the countryside to show movies, although he has a bicycle, but it is not the first choice, first, with the equipment to show movies, it is not easy to sell, and secondly, this is to eat public food, if something happens, the top will definitely be investigated, and the surrounding commune brigade must also be strictly investigated, and it is easy to get into trouble.

The best is those peasants who go to the city, or those who go to the countryside to visit relatives, look at the few people and stop in the middle of the road, the black cloth mask is not afraid of the other party to recognize it, as soon as the knife is flashed, the other party is frightened, they take the money and leave, even if they report to the official, they are not afraid.

"Robbery?" Xu Qiang felt a little incredible, who didn't want to rob the countryside to show movies?

"Hmm." Xu Damao nodded, and said with a scared face: "The three people on the other side, all of them are in black clothes and black pants, wearing black masks on their heads, and their figures look similar, I can't even tell the difference between men and women." ”

"It's not a dagger or anything like that, it looks like a shovel, but it's not what we usually use, it's the kind of ...... That kind of ......"

Some people died, but not completely......
