Chapter 95 Qinglong Market
After thinking about it, I came here just to see her. I have been to Chengdu a lot in the past few years. However, my knowledge of Chengdu is limited to the "Chengdu Map". My experience of Chengdu is also limited to the North Railway Station and Lotus.
Chi, Tianfu Square. You can't go there looking so sloppy, right? What's more, you still have a strong smell of trains.
Thinking of this, I didn't go to Qinglong Market. I went back and went around the "Southwest Book City" and went to the clothing area of Hehuachi Market.
Buy a linen shirt and a pair of linen shorts. Continue walking forward, stroll to the wholesale shoe area, and buy a pair of leather sandals. Then slowly move to the shop opposite Qinglong Market to "hide".
Why? Because, firstly, I don’t want Lin Ling to notice that I’m here. Secondly, I want to find the best “observation position” here, so that when my father shows up, I can follow him and ask for the key. Take it.
Once you get the key, you can go to his apartment, take a cold shower, put on clean clothes and come out.
For some reason, I waited for a while and he still didn't show up. I was also a little tired and couldn't care less about my image. I sat on the eaves outside someone else's shop and watched the people coming and going in boredom.
From this look, I can probably see some clues.
People here sell various trinkets, mobile phone cases, tea eggs, and watches. The row of shops behind me mainly sells pants. Except for these business owners.
In addition, there are small bosses from all over the country who come to buy goods, as well as migrant workers who rely on their physical strength to earn money as porters, as well as tourists, students, wanderers who come and go, and administrators who guard bicycles and motorcycles, etc.!
There was a major discovery.
I see a type of people who are very different from other people. First, they give people the impression of being unhurried; second, their clothes are quite fashionable; third, they carry a cross-body bag.
a large leather briefcase on their shoulders; fourth, their eyes are very alert, always looking around; fifth, they hold tweezers in their hands that are as long as chopsticks or longer; fifth, they use tweezers on other people's hands.
"Money" in the bag.
Yes, they are "thieves". Thieves who specialize in stealing money!
I wanted to remind the person who was being stolen. However, I saw several porters next to the person who was being stolen. They also saw what was happening, but they all chose to "turn a blind eye". Why?
I feel a little strange. I also saw the boss selling trinkets next to me. They should have seen it too, but they also chose to "turn a blind eye". Why? I feel very strange. Don't these people have a "sense of justice"?
Yet?
I continued to observe. It turned out that when this "thief kid" was "working", there were accomplices around him. Although they pretended to be looking at other things or looking at other places, their eyes were never fixed.
Leave an accomplice who is "working".
Soon, it took tens of seconds. No, it should have been a few seconds. The "thief kid" succeeded. He only pinched it a few times, and each time he pinched several pieces of money. The one was stolen.
The man didn't feel anything at all. As he was walking down the stairs on the first floor of Qinglong Market, the money in his bag had been stolen.
The successful "thief boy" calmly turned around and walked towards the road, and then quickly disappeared into the rush of people. Seeing that he was safe, his accomplices retreated and went to look for the next "target" elsewhere.
Suddenly a familiar figure appeared, that was my father. Judging from the way he was holding the strap with his bare hands, he must have just returned from delivering an order. I quickly walked up and pulled him.
He was a little surprised when he saw me suddenly appearing in front of him. He asked, "Why did you come to Chengdu?" In his mind, I should be in my hometown. How could I suddenly appear in Chengdu? Did something happen? What if?
Why didn't we call if something happened? After all, their landlord's house has a phone. Only every time we call, the landlord will call them to answer the phone. Every time we call them to answer the phone, we will charge a dollar as a "hard fee".
It's hard for me to tell him that Lin Ling asked me to come to see her, because they may still know some of Lin Ling and Aunt Lin's thoughts. In their hearts, they seem to hope that I can get along with Lin Ling. But I don't have that.
idea, so I'm not going to tell them the purpose of my visit.
I said: "The county is going to organize an exam, and I don't have any suitable clothes. I heard that there is a written exam, and if you pass the written exam, you will have to have an interview. For an interview, gold is what you wear, and clothes are what you wear. So I came here."
Buy some clothes."
My father saw that I was holding the clothes in my hands, and he believed my statement with some doubt. He asked me again: "Are you going back that time? You have an important exam, so go back quickly. After that, you will take me to buy a train ticket."
How could I go back like this? So, I would not buy a train ticket. I quickly said: "I'm still a little tired after riding the train all night. Give me the key. I'll go with you."
I took a shower in the house and made up for my drowsiness. When I woke up, I went to Tianfu Square for a walk. After all, I haven’t been there for a long time. After walking around, I bought a train ticket and went back."
Father: "Have you had breakfast?"
I don’t know why, but when I heard this ordinary greeting, my nose suddenly felt sour. I quickly said: "Eat, eat. I was very hungry when I got off the car, so I bought some sesame balls and tea eggs to eat."
Father took off the keychain from his waistband and handed it to me.
I took the key and was about to leave. Suddenly I remembered the scene I just saw, so I grabbed my father and told him quietly.
He quickly said: "Don't mind your own business, otherwise you will cause big trouble." Not only that, he also told me: "You think you are the only one who saw it? Everyone saw it, but why didn't you say it? So blatantly
Damn it, besides they have gangs, there are also people...", pointing to the sky with his finger.
I understand what that means. It means that someone from above is protecting you.
Seeing that my father was busy making money, I said, "I'll take the key to the market later and give it to Aunt Lin, okay?"
Father said: "I deliver goods everywhere. Maybe I won't come back when the market is closed. You'd better leave it at the landlord's house. We can get it when we get back."
