Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 208

  Chapter 208 204: Catch it right

“Tianyi is right. We just have to wait and go down on time at three o’clock. Now let’s take a look around. Look carefully. There is a wire running down the cliff. If we follow the wire, we can Find out where they got the electricity from.”

   “Well, that’s fine too.”

   Several people groped along the wire for a while on the edge of the cliff, and they found that a wire was laid along a dark ditch.

  Following the line to find the past, I saw that the other end was connected to the wire before entering the meter.

   This kind of wiring is very simple.

  You only need to make your own wire into a hook, peel off the outer skin of the place that needs to be hooked up, and put the wire hook on this side directly on it.

   It’s just that this connection method does not fasten the two lines firmly, and it is easy to be slid by the wind, so sometimes there will be poor contact, which will burn the equipment.

  Even sparks.

  Finding the root cause, Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tianyi and Wang Tianxin to guard here. If anyone comes up to tear off the wire, stop them and control them by the way.

  Since we are going to mobilize people tonight to get rid of the Cao family, we can’t let them relax.

   Make progress.

   If you don’t repair them properly, you really think that people can’t do anything about them.

After making arrangements, he waited for about half an hour. Wang Tianxiao looked at the dial, and it was around three o’clock in the morning. He said to Wang Dabao, “Brother Dabao, the two of us will go down and let Tianyi and Tianxin stay on top.” When you come to call for the door, just say it’s a little silly temporarily, if it were me, I’m afraid they might not open the door.”

   “No problem, let’s do it this way. This **** Cao family has done all kinds of disgusting things. It really embarrasses our third team. I have long wanted to clean them up.”

  The two walked along the alleyway of the pit yard to the door, Wang Tianxiao stood beside, and Wang Dabao called for someone.

   “Bang bang bang!”

  Wang Dabao first knocked **** the door a few times.

   There is no movement inside.

   It is estimated that it was covered by the blower and the sound of doing things.

   “Kick a few times hard.” Wang Tianxiao instructed Wang Tianxin.

  Wang Tianxin was eager to do this. Hearing what his brother said, he immediately raised his foot and kicked hard a few times, almost breaking the broken wooden door.

  In this era, iron gates are not yet popular, and many people’s doors are very simple.

   Either planks are randomly bundled, or branches are made.

  The real kind of iron gate with rivets and lions, which looks mighty and majestic, will have to wait until at least the second half of the year.

  In August 1985, rare rainstorms fell in several counties and cities near Qingcheng. Because autumn was already in people’s minds, they lacked awareness of possible rainstorms and did not take precautions.

   Many people’s gutters are even blocked because they are worried that the chickens will run away.

  As a result, the flood this year was not much different from that in 1998. Many pit yards or earthen courtyard walls were washed away by the flood, which indirectly promoted the construction of people’s new courtyards.

  Many of the newly built houses are built with red brick walls, and the doors are replaced with iron gates.

   Even for a period of time, people were very envious of those who built a new house. When talking, they never left the iron gate, as if it was a symbol of identity and status.

  After Wang Tianxin kicked the door, there was movement inside.

   With a “creak”, the door of the tofu room opened, and someone shouted in the yard, “Who is it?”

  Wang Tianxiao could tell that it was Cao Hong’s elder brother Cao Shuang.

   There are two brothers in the Cao family. The elder brother Cao Shuang was born with a big boy and a big boy, and his mind is a little out of order.

   The appetite is super large.

  In Li Yali’s words, I just don’t know how Cao Shuang got so fat. Maybe eating big steamed buns and drinking cold water will make you fat.

  The main reason is that Wang Peng and Wang Fang were very thin when they were young.

  It’s okay that Wang Fang is thin, her appearance belongs to that kind of small face and small skeleton.

   But Wang Peng has a big head. If his body were thinner, it would look a little ugly, like a stick figure.

   Cao Shuang later married a wife who was also a woman with a low IQ. She was good-looking, but she looked stupid. She gave birth to two children, one son and one daughter, both of whom were also stupid…

  But those two children are also very good at stealing things.

  Followed grandma to play at Wang Tianxiao’s house, and if I didn’t pay attention, I saw that they were gone, so I hurried to chase after them, and then searched my pockets. There must be something in my pockets that I sneaked away.

   Later, when the grandson grew up, he lived up to expectations and was sentenced to three years in prison for burglary.

   It can also be regarded as the glory of the ancestors, to carry forward the cause of their Cao family, properly, the real Cao thief.

  Cao Shuang’s younger brother, Cao Hong, is a “little clever ghost”.

This child is the person who doesn’t like stealing things the most in the Cao family, but he is very afraid of his wife. After marrying a wife, he kicked her out of the family. .

   It can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

  Since someone agreed, it’s time for Wang Dabao to act.

  He shouted inside: “It’s me, your great treasure.”

   This is not to give others a bad impression, it is based on seniority.

  The seniority of the Cao family is very low, and the peers are basically three generations lower, so they need to be called Wang Dabao.

  Small voices came from inside, and after several minutes, Cao Shuang asked again: “Master, you are in the middle of the night, what’s the matter?”

   “You open the door first, let me stand outside the door and talk?”

   “The main reason is that we all fell asleep. It’s the middle of the night. I don’t know what’s going on with you. Why don’t you say tomorrow?”

“Oh, it’s like this. I was playing cards with the fourth team at night, but when I came back, I accidentally broke my leg, and now I can’t walk. It doesn’t mean that your house happens to be nearby, so I came to you to find something. Baobao, by the way, help me call my family.”

   This kind of wording was discussed before. It would be fine if the Cao family opened the door directly. If they don’t open the door, they must find a way.

   Sure enough, after hearing what Wang Dabao said, Cao Shuang really couldn’t find any reason to refuse. He was not in a good mind, and he mainly relied on his mother Rui Qiaodan to arrange.

   You can’t hear Wang Dabao like this, so let’s turn a blind eye.

   After all, they are members of the third team. In the future, many things will be assigned and arranged by the captain.

  Cao Shuang didn’t know what he was doing, so he came over slowly and opened the door after a few minutes.

   Still holding a flashlight in his hand.

   But before he could see the figure clearly, Wang Tianxiao grabbed his arm and told Wang Dabao to go to the tofu shop immediately.

  Cao Shuang is about 1.7374 meters tall. He is not very tall, but his body is very strong.

  Wang Tianxiao was well prepared, so he was subdued first when he entered the door.

  Cao’s Tofu Workshop is on the south side. It was bright and majestic when it was on the top just now, but now it has become pitch black.

   But how can this cover up the past.

Wang Dabao went straight to the door of the tofu house, patted on the door and shouted: “Qiaodan, Cao Daneng, I know you are inside, come out, you have the guts to steal electricity, what’s the point of hiding now. Put the lamp and the door Open.”

   There is no movement inside.

  Wang Dabao couldn’t help but laugh.

   This family is not smart.

   Can this be concealed? You can see the heat coming out of the window. It is obvious that a pot was burning inside just now.

  Even if they didn’t see the lights up there, that alone would give them a clue.

“You won’t come out, right? Then I’ll call the police, and let the police see how much electricity you have stolen from the public house. According to this amount, your whole family may have to go in and sit for several years, so there is no need to make this tofu. Alright.”

   “I’ll give you a few more seconds…”

   “Squeak!”

  The door opened, and the lights inside were turned on again.

  Cao Daneng, Rui Qiaodan and Cao Hong all stepped out and blocked the inside of the door.

   “Captain, this is the middle of the night, you came to me just for this matter, you think our family members are thieves, don’t you?”

  Wang Dabao almost laughed out of joy.

   Needless to say, what is the status of your family, do you have no idea in your heart.

  That’s because I want to treat you as thieves. It’s your family at all, so you don’t want to be human.

  At this time, Wang Tianxiao subdued Cao Shuang and came here. He was about to speak, but Cao Hong suddenly ran through the gap and ran directly to the pit yard while no one was paying attention.

  Wang Tianxiao didn’t even look at it, but just smiled lightly.

  Under the dim light, his smile looked particularly sinister.

   “Uncle Tianxiao, why are you here too?”

  Cao Daneng is the only honest person in the Cao family, so he usually doesn’t speak much. No matter what happens, he just cowers and stands behind his wife, waiting for her to come out.

This old man has been selling tofu all his life, and finally got a little dementia. They had already moved to build a house above the pit yard, but one night, when he went to the toilet, he walked directly to the edge of the pit yard for no reason. He fell down and died.

  Since the death of this old man, almost all members of the Cao family are wicked.

  Without a good tutor, how can we educate a good child.

  Three generations of descendants, a family of thief kings.

   “Da Neng, since we are all standing here, you should know why we are, right? We are all neighbors, relatives of Zhuang Li Zhuang, Dabao and I don’t want to make things go to waste, you see how to deal with this matter?”

   “What, Uncle Tianxiao, what are you talking about, please speak clearly, why can’t I understand?”

  Cao Daneng didn’t know how to answer Wang Tianxiao’s words, and fell into a state of stupefaction. His wife Rui Qiaodan formally took over the conversation.

  Speaking of Rui Qiaodan, he is really not ordinary.

  No one knows where her hometown is. It is said that she once said that she came up from Sichuan, but Wang Tianxiao has never heard this woman speak Sichuan dialect.

   There are many people from Sichuan in Qingcheng, because the two provinces border each other.

  Although Long Province is not very developed, it is at least better than Sichuan at that time.

   But it was then.

  After decades of vicissitudes, the economic development of Sichuan has far surpassed that of Long Province. This is a later story.

  Because the life in Sichuan was relatively hard at that time, many people couldn’t survive directly.

  Rui Qiaodan said that she also escaped from Chuanli.

  But Wang Tianxiao once talked about this matter with Li Yali, and felt that running for his life should be true, but it probably wasn’t because he was poor and couldn’t survive, it must be because he stole something from others and was chased by others, so he had no choice but to run here.

  Since Rui Qiaodan married Cao Daneng, the Cao family became famous for stealing.

  Rui Qiaodan is the founder of the sect.

  When she was young, she once went to steal watermelons from someone else’s field, and her left leg was broken, so she has been limping since then, and people in the village called her Guaiqiao Dan.

  Although she had a physical problem, her spirit was not hit. Instead, she became more and more courageous.

  Wangjia Village is always alive with her beating figure in countless nights.

  Often just after dawn, before people get up, they hear someone in the village scolding her, but she doesn’t care at all.

  Steal all vegetables, fruits, corn and sweet potatoes, even piled wheat straw.

   Anyway, just don’t go short.

  For example, the Cao family has no apricot trees at all, but every year when apricots are in peak season, their field is always full of dried apricots, and they sell hundreds of catties of dried apricots every year.

   Moreover, their family has never raised chickens, but if you look carefully, you can often see them carrying a basket of chicken feathers and dumping them into the trash pit. Where did the chickens come from…

  Under the influence of Guaiguai Qiaodan, the younger generations scrambled to be the first, and they all fully absorbed her teachings.

  Someone must say, this old shameless person steals so much, why can everyone bear it and not turn her over to the police station?

   This is because, each time she stole something is not a precious thing, and most of the cases were not caught on the spot.

  If she was caught on the spot, she would cry desperately, and her pitiful appearance made others angry, but it was inconvenient to continue to strictly demand it.

   Gradually, everyone got used to it.

   I despise her in my heart, I scold her when I should, but I tolerate her objectively.

   It can only be said that the people here are sometimes brutal, and sometimes they have a bit of warmth.

  Maybe everyone still thinks about Cao Daneng.

   After all, he is an honest man, and he got along well with everyone before.

   The only blame is that he married a shameless daughter-in-law.

  Many things in the world seem unreasonable, but they just exist.

  Wang Tianxiao knew that Guaiguai Qiaodan had this kind of virtue, so he was prepared in his heart. He didn’t say much, and directly left Cao Shuang aside, opened Guaiguai Qiaodan abruptly, and walked into the tofu room.

  Wang Dabao also stepped in.

   Once inside, there is actually no need to say anything.

  The tofu soup in that pot was still steaming hot, and there was nowhere to hide.

  The pots for making tofu are very large, not ordinary small pots for cooking, so even if the whole pot of tofu needs to be cleaned up suddenly, there is no way to clean it up.

  Wang Tianxiao asked Guaiguai Qiaodan, who followed in, “Didn’t Cao Shuang just say that you guys went to bed early, then what is this, the tofu made by ghosts for you?”

  Cao Shuang was a little embarrassed. He was stupid, but he was not a fool. He couldn’t help but look at his mother.

Guaiguai Qiaodan is an old Jianghu, seeing the incident was exposed, but she was not very worried, she saw her hands on her hips, and sneered, “Why, we are not allowed to make tofu in the middle of the night? We said we are going to bed, because we don’t want you to Come in, no, I have an opinion, who is like you who come to other people’s houses in the middle of the night?”

   “It makes sense, doesn’t it? Then tell me, why did we come to your house in the middle of the night?” Wang Tianxiao was not annoyed, he was already ready tonight, just to see what else this woman could do.

  It is equivalent to the depression of the past life and the present life, and it will end tonight.

“I don’t care why you guys, I said Uncle Dabao, what’s the matter with you, I always thought you were an honest person, why did you follow this kind of thing, and said you fell, where did you fall, it’s really a lie Make a draft, you are the captain after all, can you pay attention to your identity.”

  Wang Dabao was originally an honest person, so he was a little embarrassed to be able to stand up to this guy.

   Originally, he had the upper hand, occupying the commanding heights of reason, but now he is almost about to lose.

  Suddenly subconsciously looked at Wang Tianxiao.

  It’s like two armies at war, the Cao family’s general is Guaiguai Qiaodan, and here is Wang Tianxiao.

  Others are their soldiers and appendages.

   “You don’t know what the captain is here for, do you? Well, let me tell you now.”

As Wang Tianxiao said, he went straight to the pot table, pointed to the wood inside and said, “Your pot table is really high-end, it doesn’t even have a bellows, such a deep hearth, where does the wind come from, and how does your firewood burn? “

“this…”

  Guaiguai Qiaodan was stunned when he saw it.

  They temporarily removed the blower, but did not put the bellows on.

  If it is an ordinary stove, it can be said that the wood burns by itself, but the stove for making tofu is very deep. If there is no blowing air, there will be a serious lack of oxygen inside, and there is no way to burn it.

   This is basic common sense in life, and Guaguai Qiaodan can’t deny it.

   She rolled her eyeballs and said flatly: “What’s the matter, we won’t think of a way if it can’t be burned, and it has nothing to do with you, just worry about your own affairs.”

   “You still have to be stubborn?”

  Wang Tianxiao walked over quickly, and directly lifted a piece of plastic paper in the corner, “What is this, Guaiguai Qiaodan, can you explain it to me and the captain?”

  It turned out that behind the plastic paper, there was a wire hanging impressively, and the bottom of the wire was a blower.

   “You can’t tell me that you connected this blower just for fun, and you didn’t steal electricity from our line at all?”

   “No way, we like to hang like this…”

  Guaiguai Qiaodan still insisted on being stubborn, unwilling to give in.

  Wang Tianxiao was not in the mood to continue talking to this woman. Reasoning with her was a waste of time.

He went straight to the point: “Rui Qiaodan, you just wanted Cao Hong to go up and tear down the wires, don’t think about it, we have seen it when we got down from the top, and people are guarding somewhere, as long as I follow the wires If you pull it up, you will definitely be able to pull it to that wire.”

  Guaiguai Qiaodan heard that Cao Hong was mentioned, her complexion changed drastically, and her face was ashen.

   “So, we don’t want to continue talking to you, we just want to solve the problem.”

Wang Tianxiao took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and said directly: “Look, you stole electricity here last month for a total of about 360 degrees, and if you add a few days this month, it will be 40 degrees for you.” The overall calculation is 400 degrees. Now you will settle the electricity bill to me in one lump sum.”

   “What, how could I steal so much electricity?”

  Guaiguai Qiaodan was originally wilted, but when he heard that he was going to lose money, he struggled and continued to yell.

   “Are you stupid?”

Wang Dabao couldn’t stand it anymore, he pointed at Guaguai Qiaodan’s face and said: “You woman is really ignorant, you are so stupid to the limit, you think that stealing electricity is like taking other things from other people’s houses, and there is no record when you take it away. , Let me tell you, the electricity is recorded by the meter, whoever stole the electricity can be judged directly from the meter, otherwise, why can we lock your house?”

Seeing that Guaiguai Qiaodan still didn’t bow his head, he said depressedly: “You said you, you have a good life all day, but you know how to do some sneaky things. You really think that others don’t know what kind of stuff you are, but everyone I’m from the village, and I don’t want to embarrass you.”

“Captain, what are you talking about? Do you think we are easy to bully?” Guaiguai Qiaodan was still unconvinced, and continued to struggle from another angle, “Yes, we used some electricity without your permission, but This electricity does not belong to your family, it belongs to the government, what are you doing in such a hurry?”

   “You know shit.”

  Wang Tianxiao hasn’t said anything yet, Wang Dabao has become very excited.

   “Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?”

   “Why, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, so please speak clearly if you want to.”

“Because there are people on our team who are unwilling to pull electricity, this part of the money is paid by Tianxiao in advance, so these households are temporarily under the name of Tianxiao, and the people in the power station only collect money based on the total electricity. If the electricity consumption of each household does not meet the total electricity consumption, Tianxiao will have to pay for the difference, do you understand?”

Seeing that Guaiguai Qiaodan was a little confused, Wang Dabao continued to add: “That is to say, Brother Tianxiao has to pay the electricity bill to the power supply station for the electricity you stole, so do you still think that this matter has nothing to do with us? Can you take care of your face, you are too old, and you don’t set a good example for the children, and you spend all day for this petty profit, is it shameful?”

  Guaiguai Qiaodan was a little hard to get along with being scolded by Wang Dabao.

  Looking at the husbands and children around me, they were all the kind of people who couldn’t handle things, so they muttered: “Even if I use a little electricity, it’s not a big deal, and you don’t have to do it.”

   As she spoke, she still looked at Wang Tianxiao with pitiful eyes, begging Wang Tianxiao to soften her heart.

Because after Wang Tianxiao came back, she was basically in the mountains, so she actually knew Wang Tianxiao as the honest person before, thinking that as long as she pretended to be pitiful, Wang Tianxiao might let her go because she couldn’t bear it. .

   But there is obviously something wrong with her thinking.

  Wang Tianxiao in front of him is no longer the honest man he used to be.

  Now, he vowed never to give these shameless bad guys any more face.

  Since it’s shameless, it can’t be blamed for not giving them a step down.

   “It’s not necessary if you say it’s not necessary, who gave you face?”

  Wang Tianxiao sneered, looked condescendingly at the shameless woman in front of him, and said in a cold and indifferent tone, “Now you have been stolen by us, and you still say what to do, just lose money.”
