Chapter 26: Making money? I know, thieves eat thieves!
"make money?"
Lin Xiaoan, who had just entered the room, twitched his ears and rushed over like a wild cat smelling fish. His eyes were so bright that they could be used as light bulbs.
"Sister Song! Take me with you!" He grabbed Song Wan's sleeves, his knuckles turning white with excitement, "I can even carry bricks and sacks!"
Song Wan blinked: "Who are you?"
The memory of this body is like a book with missing pages. It has limited information and cannot remember many people and many things.
"Lin Xiaoan, Xiaobai's younger brother!" Xiaoan is very outgoing. As long as he can make money, he can be friends with anyone, even a sister.
"Well, he's my third child." Xiao Bai explained with his arms folded, "He's a money-grubber. I'll give him 50 cents and he'll do hard labor for you for three days."
Lin Xiaoan was not annoyed, but straightened his chest: "This is called knowing how to live!" He turned around and looked at Song Wan eagerly, "Are you good at doing business?"
"So he's the eldest brother's brother. We're one of us, so it's easy to talk to him." The two of them got together, whispering to each other, and bursts of laughter occurred from time to time.
Gu Zhongzhang looked at them coldly, feeling a sudden pain in his teeth. He nudged Tang Jingmo with his elbow and said, "Your wife wants to build a house, and you just stand there and watch?"
He twisted his fingers and said, "If you are short of money, tell me. If you don't have anything else, I can still lend you the money for marrying a wife."
Tang Jingmo took a step aside and said disdainfully, "Don't be so clingy, grown man."
He looked at Xiao Bai with a meaningful gaze, "Do you think she's a sparrow that needs a man to build a nest?"
The sunlight fell on his chiseled face, softening his features. "She is the alpha wolf, and she has to carve out her own territory."
Xiaobai is indeed just as Tang Jingmo thought, a child who grew up in the last days and is used to relying on himself in everything.
For her, nothing is more important than making money right now.
A penny can stump the boss of the end times.
How sad!
How to make this money?
Xiaobai propped up his chin and listened attentively to Song Wan's story of how to get rich.
Raise chickens? Raise ducks? Raise pigs...
The money comes too slowly.
How about Chinese snacks?
No patience for hard work.
Reselling mountain products? Black market gold rush?
Hiding and hiding is not her style!
Her fingertips tapped an impatient rhythm on her knees. It would be more exciting than seizing a base in the apocalypse.
As soon as Xiaobai's eyes turned, Tang Jingmo knew what she was planning.
"By the way," Tang Jingmo suddenly spoke, his voice neither too loud nor too low just floating into Xiaobai's ears, "recently there have been many road bullies on the provincial highways, specializing in robbing trucks going back and forth. You should mention this to the Ministry of Public Security, and they should take proper care of it."
"Ah?" Gu Zhongzhang was inexplicably called out, and he was completely confused. "Tang Jingmo, you have been too idle recently, and you even have to worry about local security issues."
"Don't you know that I'm on sick leave?" Tang Jingmo answered confidently.
Amnesia is a disease, and not being able to remember the past will affect his work. As for when he can remember it, it is up to him to decide.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are an officer of the Political Security Department. How can you be so careless about public security work?"
As the saying goes, brothers are meant to be betrayed, so bury them when necessary.
"After dinner, come back with me to check the files and see if we can help the local comrades solve the case."
Huh?
A light bulb went off in his head, and Xiaobai smiled.
She licked her fangs, a predator's light flashing in her eyes.
Black eats black! Her favorite!
"Captain Tang, do you need any help?" His big almond eyes sparkled in the sun, his eyelashes fluttered, and he looked like a little fox. "I'll help you voluntarily. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever."
Tang Jingmo raised his eyebrows, with a doting smile in the depths of his eyes, "Okay, I couldn't ask for more."
If the little fox doesn't go, all his words would be in vain.
"Gu Zhongzhang, arrange a non-staff identity for Xiaobai to facilitate his actions."
Tang Jingmo always thinks three steps ahead before doing anything, making everything so foolproof that he is determined not to leave any room for gossip.
"Non-staff..." Gu Zhongzhang's eyes widened, looking Tang Jingmo up and down, "You kid, you actually learned to abuse your power for personal gain? Is this still the Tang Staff Officer I know?"
"With Xiaobai's ability, it's really unfair for him to be a non-staff member." He patted his brother's shoulder meaningfully.
He did have some plans, but the time was not yet ripe, so he kept them to himself for now.
——
Three days later in the evening, a Jiefang truck covered with canvas was crawling on the winding mountain road, panting heavily.
In the cab, Master Pan, an experienced driver in blue work clothes, nervously gripped the steering wheel and told his apprentice: "Be alert, this road is not safe."
The wrench in Xiao Zeng's hand was already greasy with sweat. He nodded, his eyes wide open as he stared ahead.
The warning from the factory manager before departure was still ringing in my ears: "If this batch of agricultural machinery parts is not delivered to the city in time, the transportation team's subsidy this year will be lost."
"Boom, boom"
Xiao Zeng knocked heavily on the iron sheet of the carriage twice with a wrench, and immediately three responses came from behind - this was the secret signal agreed upon with the three loaders in the carriage.
As long as we can safely get through this mountain road, this trip will be safe.
Master Pan's cracked lips opened and closed silently. Before he finished his prayer to Lord Guan, two pine trees as thick as bowls suddenly appeared across the bend ahead!
"Squeak--Gah!"
The screeching sound of brakes tore through the night sky.
The truck stopped just half a foot in front of the tree, with the front bumper almost touching the bark.
Master Pan's forehead hit the steering wheel with a "bang", and the taste of blood immediately spread in his mouth.
Before they could recover from the shock, seven or eight dark figures had already jumped out from the bushes by the roadside.
The butcher knife flashed coldly, and the sound of "bang bang bang" of knocking on the door was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
"Get down!" the masked man said in a thick rural accent, and the tip of the knife directly pierced through the screen window of the cab.
Xiao Zeng watched the gleaming blade less than three inches away from his eyes, and his crotch suddenly felt hot.
Outside the carriage, there were sounds of curses and fighting from the loaders, but they soon turned into muffled groans.
The leading gangster ripped open the car door.
"Comrades..." The old driver tremblingly took out a wrinkled "Da Shengchan" cigarette, but was chopped away by a knife.
"Get out of the car with your mother and squat on the side of the road." Heihu's eyes glowed red, he had caught a big fish today.
Master Pan and his apprentice, who was so scared that he peed his pants, squatted on the side of the road with their heads in their hands. Three injured loaders lay beside them.
Hei Hu kicked the tall and thin boy next to him, "Xiao Dao, go and see some blood."
The young man named Xiaodao's hand holding the bone-chopping knife was trembling, and it was unclear whether it was because he lacked strength or courage.
"Brother Hu, we have a truckload of spare parts. Let's sell them now before it gets dark!"
Hei Hu climbed into the car, turned around and saw Xiao Dao still dawdling, and knocked on the door, "Coward, hurry up, your brother used to--"
"Oh, this is so scary! Someone is going to kill someone!"
Everyone looked up and saw a veiled girl sitting on the roof of the car. Her eyes were sparkling, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders, loosely tied with a red hairband.
Hei Hu was stunned at first, then he looked closely and saw that it was a little girl. He immediately became arrogant, "Wow~ A little beauty fell from the sky~"
