Chapter 606 The single-family villa in the slum
The two parties agreed that the next night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, except for the noise of fighting in the military camp, the entire Pingcheng fell into deathly silence.
Zhao Zhiguo originally thought they would go to the area where rich people live in Pingcheng, but Lu Zheng took him to the slums.
It is said to be a slum, but it is actually an abandoned place in the city because of the war.
When the Japanese army attacked Pingcheng, they first used aircraft and then artillery to bombard Pingcheng indiscriminately.
Many houses in Pingcheng were destroyed and turned into rubble!
Homeless people can only find a temporary shelter from the wind and rain to gather together.
Because there was no money and no one to help clean up these ruins, a large area of ruins was left in Pingcheng.
Zhao Zhiguo saw all kinds of shelters here, if they can be called shelters.
The simplest shelter is made of old clothes sewn together and supported by wooden sticks. This is a simple tent.
This tent only covers an area of two square meters, but it can accommodate a family of four.
Even though Zhao Zhiguo was used to this, when he walked in here, his heart was still unavoidable.
"Hey~"
The entire slum was pitch black, and there was no starlight at all.
Most of the people who live here are like train station workers. They look for work during the day and reunite with their families here at night.
This is their home, even if it is only two square meters.
"Shopkeeper, please watch your step. It's not easy to walk here. If you're lucky, you might step on a piece of dog poop."
It was dark, and no one could see clearly what was under the feet.
Naturally, people in slums cannot afford to keep dogs, but they defecate everywhere because there are no toilets after all.
There is an unpleasant smell everywhere. When the heat gets hot, the smell will become even worse. Mosquitoes are rampant. Zhao Zhiguo cannot imagine how painful it is to live here.
Zhao Zhiguo sighed as he walked.
"Keep going, we'll be there soon!" Lu was leading the way.
They walked in the slums for half an hour and finally reached their destination.
In front of it is a private house, one of the few in the slums. It stands there alone, like a frail old man. A gust of wind can destroy him.
The curtains on the window fluttered in the wind, and a few faint lights tried to escape.
"Brother Qi, my friend is here!"
Before he even got close to the house, Lu Zheng stood on the spot and shouted into the darkness.
"Have you brought all the money?"
A voice sounded from behind Zhao Zhiguo and the others, and Lu Zheng turned around immediately.
"Hey, Seventh Brother, why are you behind us? We have all the money ready." Lu Zheng said.
"Is this friend of yours mute?"
Zhao Zhiguo did not turn around or say hello.
"Brother Qi, my friend doesn't want to talk more. He just wants to complete the transaction safely."
When he arrived, Zhao Zhiguo also reminded Lu Zheng not to reveal his identity.
"The boss is waiting for you inside."
The man named Qi Ge, who was tall and powerful, led them towards the mysterious house.
"Follow my footsteps and don't walk around casually. There are traps around you. If you make the wrong step, you will be on crutches for the rest of your life."
There were no mines around, just traps used by mountain people for hunting.
That kind of clamp can even cut off the legs of a wild boar.
When the door is opened and the lights are bright, it is a completely different world from the slums outside.
There were several tables inside, and more than a dozen people were gathering around them, drinking and gambling.
Suddenly seeing a stranger come in, everyone looked at Zhao Zhiguo.
"The boss is waiting for you inside!"
The man named Qi Ge pointed to a room with a curtain, and there were flickering lights in the room.
"Brother Yong, people have brought it!"
Seventh Brother stood outside the door, nodded slightly, and respectfully called Seventh Brother.
A woman's shy voice came from the room, and then a rough voice: "Let them come in."
Brother Seven gave Lu Zheng a wink and asked Lu Zheng to take Zhao Zhiguo in.
The room behind the curtain was not big. On the bed was a young man with a beard holding two women in his arms.
When the woman saw Zhao Zhiguo and the others coming in, she didn't shy away from it. She even lay topless on the bed casually.
"Brother Yong!" Lu Zheng called out respectfully, "This is the buyer."
"Lao Lu, where did you meet this handsome young man? Introduce him to me when you have time. It's hard to find someone who is rich and good-looking."
A woman lying on the bed kept raising her eyebrows at Zhao Zhiguo.
"What's the matter? Do you dislike me for not taking good care of you?"
Brother Yong knelt on one knee on the bed and teased the woman's chin with his hand.
"I want to see the goods!"
Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to stay in this filthy place for more than half an hour, so he made a request directly.
"Hey, it looks like you are a young boy. You are a handsome boy. When you have time, do you want your sister to **** you?"
The woman saw Zhao Zhiguo's embarrassment and became even more unscrupulous.
"Do you understand the rules? Where is your money?"
The man named Yong Ge stopped paying attention to the woman and asked Zhao Zhiguo directly.
Forty small yellow croakers are not a small amount, and cannot be easily put into a pocket.
Zhao Zhiguo took out four small yellow croakers and said: "This is the deposit. As long as the goods are genuine, I will tell you the rest."
"Old Lu, thank you for running around in the world for so many years and bringing someone here who doesn't understand the rules!"
Brother Yong started to lose his temper at Lu Zheng.
"This has nothing to do with him, it's what I asked for." Zhao Zhiguo stood in front of Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng did not expect that at this moment, Zhao Zhiguo would shield him from danger.
"Hey, you're quite talented! I didn't realize that you can't do it without money if you have talent. When you come here, I don't recognize your talent, only your money. I, the King of Heaven, also have to bring me money."
"I said, I will give you the money! But you have to let me see that the goods I need are real."
It is too easy to manipulate the explosive bag. If Zhao Zhiguo is stuffed with a bag of dirt inside, it will be over.
"I have been in Pingcheng for so long, and someone actually said that I had fake goods in my hands. It seems that you are really Xiao'er."
"Brother Yong, everyone is here to seek money. My brother is ignorant, please give me some face."
Lu Zheng decided to speak for Zhao Zhiguo.
"Lao Lu, we have been dealing with each other for a long time, right? He doesn't understand, don't you? Get out of here as soon as possible, don't waste my time."
After saying that, Brother Yong lay on the bed, keeping the two women in his arms, and kept rubbing them with his hands.
Zhao Zhiguo kept his eyes on the ground. Lu Zheng pulled Zhao Zhiguo a few times, hoping that Zhao Zhiguo would leave, go back and get the money, and then come back.
But Zhao Zhiguo stood motionless.
"Alas, I also encountered a stubborn person!"
Brother Yong jumped up in anger, and without saying a word, he punched Zhao Zhiguo in the face.
