Life 1984

Chapter 48
into the night.

Li Yunhai threw the book away with tired hands and fell asleep soundly.

Because he had so much money with him, he slept very lightly, and suddenly he felt someone tugging at his bag.

Li Yunhai woke up suddenly and opened his eyes to take a look.

The ceiling lights in the car are turned off after ten o'clock in the evening, and when the car enters night driving mode, the floor lights in the aisle will continue to be on.

A dark figure stood in front of the bed, stretching out his arms to pick up the briefcase placed by Li Yunhai's feet.

Before Li Yunhai went to bed, he hugged his backpack and put the straps of the backpack on his arms.

The briefcase also had a strap that he wore around his waist like a belt.

The dark figure wanted to take away the briefcase, but he couldn't do it in his eagerness.

Li Yunhai sneered, and without saying a word, he rose up and kicked him over.

Good kicks!
One kick hit the black figure right in the face.

"Catch the thief!" Li Yunhai shouted at the same time.

The black shadow received a heavy kick from Li Yunhai and fell backward with a loud clang.

He was so frightened that he couldn't care less about the pain, got up and ran away.

The conductor in the carriage was dozing off. Hearing the call to catch the thief, he immediately woke up and shouted: "Who is it? Stop!"

The dark figure ran over and was stopped by the conductor.

Li Yunhai poked his head out from the upper bunk and shouted towards the aisle: "He stole my bag!"

The black shadow is a young man, thin and small, slovenly dressed, with loose clothes and pants. He is very fierce and curses when he opens his mouth: "Damn, who stole something? I just climbed into the wrong bed! I just In this carriage!”

The conductor turned on the overhead light of the carriage, grabbed the thin man, and said in a deep voice: "Which bed space do you live in? Tell me clearly!"

The thin man pointed to a bed over there: "I'm right over there."

The conductor was not stupid. He grabbed the other person's hand and sneered: "You sleep in the middle berth here, how can you climb into the upper berth over there by mistake? How dare you say that you are not a thief? You are young, do it better. Not good at business? You have to be a thief outside! Come with me!"

The thin man was kicked by Li Yunhai just now. The bridge of his nose was crooked and his nostrils were bleeding profusely.

The conductor was very strong and dragged the thin man away by force.

The passengers in the carriage all woke up and were half asleep. When they heard that the thief had been caught, they laughed indifferently at first, then woke up and quickly checked their wallets and belongings.

Someone shouted: "It's over, my wallet is missing!"

"Damn it! My money is gone!"

"My new watch was stolen!"

"..."

After a while, two policemen and conductors escorted the thin man back to the carriage.

Passengers reported one after another that they had lost their belongings.

The policeman searched the thin man and took out many different wallets, some made of leather, some made of cloth, and some with change wrapped in handkerchiefs. Some people also folded paper into a small bag and stuffed some money in it. They were also stolen by thieves. Patronized.

Another police officer went to search the thin man's middle bunk and found a lot of stolen goods from under the quilt.

And this thin man will get off at the next stop!
If Li Yunhai hadn't been alert in time and waited for the bus to pull over, he would have taken the looted property and fled, and it would have been difficult to catch him again.

All the stolen property on the train is there. Passengers who have had it stolen should go to the train police to claim it.

The two liars, one fat and one thin, on the lower bunk of Li Yunhai also had all their money stolen by thieves.

The funny thing is that they didn't have wallets, and they couldn't remember exactly how much money they had in their pockets. They kept talking about several numbers, but they didn't match the amount of money the thief had.

After the thief stole the money, he couldn't see clearly in the dark and was in a hurry, so after he got the money, he put it in his pocket. What it looked like on the passenger's body was still the same on him.

In the end, everyone in the carriage got their lost property back.

The remaining two pieces of money did not match the amount stated by Fatty and Thin. The policeman was afraid that someone would claim it falsely, so he said that he could not return it to you for the time being. The two scammers were so anxious that they swore that the money was theirs.

The policeman asked the thief who had taken the two pieces of money from?
When the thief saw that this was a confusing account, he was caught anyway and would definitely go to jail. He said casually: "I don't remember, it's not theirs anyway. When I got in the car, I touched a few people's pockets."

The fat and thin people were furious and wanted to hit the thief with their fists.

The policemen separated several people and took them out together for investigation.

Li Yunhai watched the excitement and continued to sleep.

In this age where there are thieves in the world, you really have to be careful when going out.

The locomotive "whooshed" and panted like a tired old cow, dragging more than a dozen carriages along the Beijing-Guangzhou line, leaving behind the sound of "hehe" and "hehe" all the way.

Countless retrograde landscapes, like the sand that cannot be held and the wind that cannot be stopped, disappear into the past.

Passengers on the train do not care about the beautiful and magnificent scenery along the way, they care more about the destination.

It was daybreak and the train stopped at the station.Passengers woke up one after another, some opened their windows, and some got off the train to buy food on the platform.Some people also brought kettles to pour boiling water.

No matter which city you buy food on the platform, you don’t need to use food stamps to buy fried dough sticks, fried cakes, steamed buns, steamed buns and other foods.

In an era of severe material scarcity, some citizens around the train station would bring their children who did not need tickets and buy a one-stop ticket just to buy a few more fried dough sticks on the platform. This would provide food for the whole family. You can get more refined grains and oil and water.

Li Yunhai brought steamed buns and water, and it was inconvenient for him to get out of the car and move around with too much money.

After the train started, he came down and sat on the aisle to eat steamed buns and water.

Many passengers came up in the carriage. The two liars, fat and thin, started chatting with each other again and asked others to play cards.

I don’t know if they got the stolen money back last night?
Another middle-aged man fell into their trap and started playing poker with them.

This time, Li Yunhai saw clearly that the fat man and the thin man communicated through gestures. Raising one finger meant asking the other party to play a single card, raising two fingers meant playing a pair, and so on.

But this time they met a smart man. The middle-aged man won a few dollars and said he was sleepy and stopped fighting. No matter how the fat man tried to persuade him, he just refused to listen. He climbed into the middle bunk and fell asleep, snoring. Voice.

The fat man and the thin man looked at each other and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Li Yunhai looked at it and couldn't help but nodded secretly.As long as people are not too greedy, there will be fewer opportunities for scammers.

The train arrives at Huacheng Station.

After Li Yunhai left the station, he didn't stop for a moment and took the car directly to find Shi Wentao.

Shi Wentao received Li Yunhai warmly.

Shi Wenyin made a cup of fragrant tea and brought it over.

Li Yunhai took the tea, put it on the table, and stated his intention, saying that he wanted to buy more copy machines this time.

Shi Wentao smiled and said no problem, we will have as much as you want.

After Li Yunhai finished drinking tea, he thought of something and asked Shi Wenyin: "Miss Shi, you are a famous lady and well-informed. Could you please help me find out what brand this backpack is?"

Shi Wenyin smiled brightly, took the backpack handed over by Li Yunhai, looked at the sign, and said with a smile: "This is Lana Marks. It says it on the nameplate!"

Li Yunhai snorted and said, "Please forgive me for being ignorant, are this brand of bags expensive?"

Shi Wenyin thought for a while and said: "Lana Marks' leather goods are handmade by the top craftsmen in Italy, using alligator skin, crocodile skin, ostrich skin and lizard skin. Her designs have been used by many royal dignitaries, celebrities, Film and television stars are treated like treasures."

"Ms. Shi, how much does this bag cost?"

"Well, I don't know the specific price. I have never visited a store of this brand. But it is definitely expensive. Bags of this brand can range from ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Their most expensive handbag, The price range is between US$10 and US$40, and is decorated with 1600 white diamonds. This backpack, without diamonds, should be around US$[-]!”

"Ms. Shi, where can I buy this kind of bag? Is it sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

"I'm sorry, I really don't know. I have never used this brand's products. I have only seen their brand introductions in fashion magazines. Mr. Li, how did you repair this bag?"

"It was cut with a knife."

"What a pity! This bag is very beautiful. It should be a bag for women, right?"

"It belonged to a friend of mine."

"Oh, I see, then your girlfriend has very good taste and consumption! No wonder Mr. Li works so hard to make money."

"..."

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly.

It seems that the bag I owe to Lin Zhi can only be bought and returned to others when I have the opportunity to go abroad in the future.

Shi Wenyin suddenly said: "This bag of yours can be repaired. Don't find a shoe repairman on the street, but a professional leather goods designer. They can repair it. Although it won't be as good as before, at least it will be better than what you are now." Much prettier.”

Li Yunhai was secretly happy and said with a smile: "Miss Shi, where can I find such a leather goods designer?"

Shi Wenyin said that she was not too familiar with the mainland. If she were in Taiwan, she would definitely be able to find a good leather goods designer.

Li Yunhai asked her when she would return to Taiwan?I have an unkind request. I want her to help find a master to repair this leather bag.

Shi Wenyin smiled and said, "This is easy. Just keep the bag. We have many friends who often travel between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. I can ask my friends to carry it back for you. Just bring it back after it is repaired."

Of course Li Yunhai didn't want it, so he agreed immediately.

Later, Shi Wentao took Li Yunhai to the warehouse to look at the copy machine.

Li Yunhai looked more carefully this time than last time.

He discovered that the copiers in the Shi family's warehouse were not only Ricoh's but also Canon's.

"Mr. Shi, are Canon's copiers cheaper?"

"No, for us, no matter what brand or model of machine it is, it has the same price. 600 yuan per ton! We only sell these as scrap hardware."

Li Yunhai nodded, not wanting to bargain, and said, "Ricoh and Canon, I'd like to get a few truckloads of each, is that okay?"

Shi Wentao laughed and said, "Of course, how many tons do you want?"
