On the dark mountain road in the distance, two orange headlights suddenly appeared, and a "Dongfeng 140" truck, pulling a full cart of coal, drove over with difficulty.
The driver suddenly saw three people standing in the lane and had to brake quickly to stop. Song Zhijun came over with a smile, leaned over the car window and asked if he could give him a ride.
The car had stopped and the three of them surrounded the front of the car, determined to get a ride even if they couldn't.
The three got in the car and asked the driver for cigarettes. The driver handed them to them helplessly, thinking that these three people must not be good people. He would wait and find a crowded place to stop so that the three people could get off.
The car had not been driving for long when it reached a secluded corner when the second brother suddenly pounced and hugged the driver's neck. Song Zhijun took control of the steering wheel and ordered the driver to stop the car.
The car slowly stopped by the roadside. The three men pulled the driver out of the car, tied him up, and lifted him back into the car.
The sudden violence frightened the driver, who thought that this time it was all over and he had met a bad guy.
Sure enough, the car drove to a fruit forest on the northern outskirts of the city.
There is no village in front and no shop behind, no one is around, and the night is quiet.
The driver was dragged out of the car again, dragged into an orchard, and pinned to the ground. The second brother took out a screwdriver and stabbed the driver in the chest, killing him instantly. They dumped the driver's body into a pit and buried it. With Song Zhijun behind the wheel, the three of them fled along the highway with unstoppable force. By this time, checkpoints within the province had become much fewer, and they raced.
The next morning, the Dongfeng 140 stopped at a roadside restaurant somewhere. After breakfast, the driver and the restaurant owner agreed to sell the coal to the driver at a low price. After a satisfying meal and a small sum of money, the three of them continued their journey south. By evening, the fuel in the car was exhausted. With no gas nearby, the car was forced to break down on the roadside.
They decided to do the same thing and hijack the car again.
"Master, stop." A Jiefang truck drove over. The driver saw someone stopping the car and then saw a Dongfeng parked on the side of the road. He thought it was a fellow car, so he stopped.
Song Zhijun came up and leaned on the car window and said, "Master, our car is out of gas. Please sell us some oil. It's urgent!"
In the 1980s, there were very few gas stations near national and provincial highways, and it was common for trucks to run out of gas and seek help.
The driver, Lao Zhang, is an experienced driver of Shaanxi Province Second Transportation Company.
He has been driving for many years and knows the difficulties drivers face when their car breaks down.
When he heard that the other party's car was out of gas, he opened the door and got out of the car, took out the key to open the fuel tank lock, and asked the other party as he walked which unit he was from, what route he ran, and what kind of goods he was transporting.
As soon as Lao Zhang walked to the fuel tank, three gangsters rushed over. Lao Er and Song Zhijun grabbed the driver Lao Zhang's arms and pressed him to the ground.
Song Zhijun brandished the dagger that he had found on the Dongfeng truck and used for self-defense by the driver, aimed at Lao Wang's back and stabbed him several times, killing him.
They found more than 500 yuan from the driver and the car, and took off the watch from the driver's wrist.
They originally planned to drive Lao Zhang's car to continue their escape, but found that the car was too old, so they poured the oil from Lao Zhang's car into the Dongfeng 140, pulled Lao Zhang's body into the truck bed, drove the Dongfeng 140 to a haystack on the roadside three kilometers away, threw the body out, and simply covered it with weeds before continuing to flee south.
Song Zhijun and his two companions got a means of transportation, bought pistols, machetes and daggers on the black market, and led a small gang to rob a train. After dividing the money, Song Zhijun abandoned the 140 truck that was supposed to pick them up halfway, and the three of them got on the train and arrived in Green City.
Not long after they arrived, there was no news from the second and third brothers. Song Zhijun knew that there was a wanted warrant for him to be captured everywhere, but he didn't expect that a tooth was broken and his face was swollen. He looked for dentists everywhere and escaped the disaster.
When he arrived in the southern suburbs, Song Zhijun knew that the situation was tense and did not dare to go out.
It happened that the wandering doctor Lao Zhang fell ill. Song Zhijun thought that God was helping him, so he pretended to be extremely concerned about Lao Zhang, which moved Lao Zhang so much that he wanted to accept Song Zhijun as his apprentice on the spot and teach him his unique tooth extraction skills.
Song Zhijun refused immediately and spoke righteously, which moved the old pervert Lao Zhang even more.
Song Zhijun decided not to leave for the time being and try not to get involved in any fighting or killing. Without the second or third brother, it would be easy to suffer losses if he went fighting and killing alone. If he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to find a way to make some.
He found that business was booming in Greentown. Every adult was talking about business. They would talk to this person about the goods they had, and then go to that person to say they wanted the goods.
He realized that all they had to do was talk, and all they could make was the price difference, and these people were the easiest to be deceived.
In the labor camp, the person Song Zhijun admired most was an old swindler who was serving his sentence. The old swindler once said that liars cannot deceive people, and what can deceive people is the desires of the deceived people themselves.
He remembered this sentence deeply. The old con man often showed him his fraudulent tricks and how he spent the money he cheated on lavishly, from the ends of the earth to the most delicious food, to his confidante, as long as he had money, he could enjoy life to the fullest.
To Song Zhijun, this old man's experience was an incredible legend, which fascinated him.
Song Zhijun discovered that the successful businessmen who were sought after in the local area all rode imported motorcycles around the city, so he immediately bought this second-hand Japanese motorcycle to decorate his storefront and began looking for targets.
Later, when they were chatting, Song Zhijun heard the itinerant doctor Lao Zhang say that there was a girl in the town who worked in a bank in a nearby county, so he started to pay attention to her.
The next day, Song Zhijun came to the bank's business hall early in the morning. He did not deposit or withdraw money. He sat in the corner and looked at the staff at the counter over and over again.
