Three days later in the morning, Chen Shi was eating wontons in a messy restaurant near the bus station. The chair squeaked, and when he looked up, two tightly wrapped people in masks and sunglasses sat in front of him.
"A bowl?" Chen Shi said.
"No." Lin Dongxue's voice came out from under the mask. She deliberately dressed like a man today. Under the thick down jacket, her beautiful figure became bloated. "Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready, in fact, you don't have to come to see you off. It's not an undercover mission of'three years and three years'. I'll be back in two days."
"Hush hush hush!" Lin Dongxue looked around nervously when he heard the word "undercover", "Don't talk nonsense."
The other person was Peng Sijue. He pushed a needle over and said, "This is a perspiration agent. If the other person forces you to take drugs, you should inject this immediately and drink plenty of water."
Chen Shi pushed back, "If you don't bring anything except myself, you will be suspected."
"Well, remember to drink a lot of water and urinate a lot, no matter if you are addicted or not, go to the drug rehabilitation center immediately after you come back."
"Don't worry, I have my own countermeasures."
"Is the phone ready?"
"Ready, for the newly bought card, I have also memorized your numbers... Lao Peng, you are a bit long-winded today."
"Come back early, be careful of everything!"
Chen Shi nodded and turned to Lin Dongxue, "Where is the kid?"
"I don't even sleep late on weekends. I got up early in the morning to read a book. It's so worry-free."
"Don't always indulge her in studying, urge her to play more and watch more TV. You have to tell her that it is not important to study in the second half of the third year. She is so smart and so serious that she will be isolated by classmates. of."
"I know!" Lin Dongxue wanted to laugh.
Peng Sijue, who doesn't know the inside story, said: "Has the educational concept become so back to its nature now?"
"No, no, this kid is a special case... It's not early, I should go."
"Take care!" Lin Dongxue and Peng Sijue said together.
Leaving this early shop, Chen Shi crossed the road to a building materials market. This is the only reliable information that Xu Xiaodong found during his short undercover career. Every weekend, some people in urgent need of money will be waiting here. The fraud gang will come, and their secret code is: "Friend, do you want to buy insurance?"
Because it was near the bus station, this was the worst place in Long'an. On the way, Chen Shi saw several sneaky young people, one of whom was staring at a woman with a satchel.
Although knowing that it is not suitable to fight injustice now, Chen Shi really can't hold back that heart of justice. He used to strike up a conversation with women, "beauties, good bags!"
The other party looked at him with vigilant eyes, and Chen Shi whispered: "There is a thief behind, don't put the bag behind you." Then he walked straight away.
In the corner of the building materials market, there are a large number of migrant workers squatting, holding a job search sign in their hands, and raising them as soon as someone passes by. Chen Shi went up and asked in a low voice: "Friend, do you buy insurance?"
"If I don't buy it, I don't have any money for breakfast. What kind of insurance should I buy?"
Chen Shi changed another one, "Friend, do you buy insurance?"
"What kind of insurance? The insurance company does not sell it, saying that I am a high-risk type of work, huh, the people in the city are really treacherous!"
When asked about the sixth one, the man suddenly widened his eyes, "You were sent by Brother Yang?" Then a bunch of people sitting on the edge of the wall behind him came over and said, "Big Brother, my house is waiting anxiously. Money!", "Choose me to choose me, my loan shark can't even repay the interest, and the creditor blocks the door every day", "My daughter has been ill for a few years, so I just wait for the money to be operated on. Okay!"
Chen Shi didn't expect so many "competitors", and smiled embarrassedly: "I also buy insurance, so I can find an organization."
"Cut!" Everyone broke up in a rush.
Chen Shi was sitting among this group of people. A pack of cigarettes on his body quickly dissipated. Through inquiring, I learned that these people had no education. In the farm, I heard from relatives and friends that selling eyes or hands is enough. Earning hundreds of thousands is much better than just selling kidneys, so I came to the city and waited for those people.
Talking about the prospects after getting the money, everyone's dusty faces were full of joy, as if none of them realized that the money was exchanged with their own eyes or hands.
A fellow said: "There is a man in our village who broke his hand while cutting a tree with a chainsaw. He did not receive a dime in compensation, and he also posted a lot of medical expenses. Instead of working hard and hurting himself , It’s better to sell a hand and lie down at home to enjoy, it’s a good deal!"
Chen Shi said: "That's a lifetime disability."
"I already have a wife and children, and one less hand doesn't affect it."
"You know, they want to take a draw, at least half of your insurance money."
"People are taking risks, so they have to make some money, or I can count on them, my hand is worthless." The fellow mentality is really good, he asked Chen Shi, "boy, see you are from the city, right? , How can you sell your hands at a young age?"
Chen Shi smiled bitterly, "I owe a gambling debt and I have nowhere to go."
"So this pornography, gambling, and drugs must not be tainted." For the next half an hour, Chen Shi patiently listened to the villagers talking about the dangers of gambling.
A pickup truck drove up, and the crowd straightened their necks. A thin man in a leather jacket jumped out of the car, his face pale as a sick man, and a strong man with a big gold chain. The two described their figures as sharp contrasts.
The thin man stepped forward and asked, "Friend, do you buy insurance?"
It was like a chemical reaction. The crowd immediately rushed over, rushing to say: "Big brother, my family is waiting for money!", "Choose me to choose me, my loan shark can't even pay the interest, and the creditor is blocking the door every day." , "My daughter has been ill for a few years, so she is waiting for the money for the operation, OK!"
According to Xu Xiaodong, they only take ten people away at a time, only once a week.
The thin guy pointed out one by one, "You!", "You!", "You!"
The selected person, like a high school champion, happily climbed onto the back of the pickup truck. Seeing that there were not many places, Chen Shi couldn't help but push the surrounding crowd away, squeezing in front of the thin man, shouting at him face to face. : "I have a strong body, a good waist and good legs, so I don't have a problem with buying a few insurances."
The thin man's eyes lit up and he slapped Chen Shi on the shoulder, "Get in the car!"
On the way back, everyone sat in the cold wind happily looking forward to how to spend the money after getting the money, Chen Shi smiled on his face and felt sour in his heart.
They were taken to the outskirts. In a field with no buildings, another van was waiting for them. The thin man stopped and said to them: "Our location must be kept secret. I am wronged everyone."
Then a person jumped into the van with a stack of black cloth bags in his hand, put everyone's heads around, tightened the mouth of the bag, and then pushed them into the car.
Every time the van turned a corner, Chen Shi was thinking in his mind. He replaced the direction with a number, so that it was easy to remember. Listening to the noise of the outside, the van seemed to be driving back into the city again. People think it is in the suburbs, but in fact that place is in the city.
