Chapter 50 Harvest
"Haha, do you feel relieved?"
Old Man Chang looked Wang Deming up and down under the dim streetlights. After a hearty laugh, he reminded him, "Deming, we're home now. Boil a pot of water and wipe yourself off."
"Remember, it must be hot or warm water."
"One is that you just got into a fight with someone out of the blue, and your energy suddenly evaporated. This is very damaging to your vitality, so you must not let it get in the way. You have to take good care of yourself afterwards, and you will recover."
"Another thing is, cough, wash it thoroughly. If it gets on the bedding, it will be even more troublesome. I will have to take off the bedding."
Wang Deming even forgot about the soreness in his muscles. He was stunned. What the hell, Uncle Chang, you are so experienced? You have a life?
But there is one thing that Old Man Chang said is absolutely right.
He had just fought with someone unexpectedly, and in his agitated mood, his pores did not close, causing a large amount of heat and sweat loss, which was very harmful to his body.
Before he could fully recover, he ran as fast as he could to get the treasure.
In other words, his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he can successfully retrieve the treasure.
But now my legs are sore and trembling from time to time. On the one hand it is because of the high intensity, and on the other hand I am also very nervous.
People die for money.
"Eh? By the way, the wrestling you learned in the countryside must have come from the former palace wrestling camp, right?"
"Hey, why are there so many old tiles falling at the door?" Old man Chang stood at the doorway at the entrance of his house and looked up curiously, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything.
Wang Deming quickly tried to make up for it: "I guess it was a pigeon raised by someone nearby. It landed here today and got stepped on."
"I'll take some time to go to Dabei Kiln tomorrow to buy some cement and bricks."
"It's already autumn, and it might get cold anytime soon. I'll tidy up both courtyards."
Old Man Chang said with a hint of gratitude, "Deming, I have been able to rely on you for the past two years."
"I help run this house inside and out."
"From what you said, aren't we a family?"
"Haha, let's go and boil some water."
While the water was boiling in the kitchen, Wang Deming successfully took the large canvas bag down from the gatehouse and brought it back to his room.
After wiping his body roughly, Wang Deming locked the door and rubbed his hands excitedly, feeling like opening a blind box!
This canvas bag is very big, more than 1 meter long, and almost half a meter wide and high. It is bulging with stuff. I wonder what good stuff is inside?
Wang Deming untied the rope tied to the bag and opened it with full expectation.
There is still a cloth bag inside the cloth bag!
It can be seen that this thief must be a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He actually sorted things into different categories, wrapped them with cloth, and then put them in a canvas bag.
I was wondering, it’s so heavy, how come this canvas bag doesn’t break when I lift it?
Well, I will do the same in the future.
All the cloth bags were taken out. There were several pieces of silk padding inside the canvas bags. I wonder if it was to prevent things from being crushed by each other.
Open the heavy ones first: Wow, the heaviest bag is filled with rows of large yellow croakers. There are 212 of them.
Open another bag and you will see 1368 neatly packed small yellow croakers;
Ocean, estimated to be more than 2 yuan;
Pick the lightest one and open it: Wow, this is definitely good stuff!
Jade! All kinds of processed jade jewelry: bracelets, pendants, etc. Pick up any one and hold it up to the light.
Hey, the color is real! The water is so clear!
I guess quite a few of them are imperial green, right?
Oh, white jade
Wow! Watches! This batch of watches is probably the same batch that Henry lost: Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lange, Breguet.
Comrade Liu, I really want to return it to you! Unfortunately, I don't dare.
Alas, I can only collect it reluctantly.
These watches are all worth collecting, and I have been thinking about them for a long time. When I went to Henry's before, I drooled at them. But in order to keep a low profile and hide myself, I only bought a Rolex in the past two years.
Wang Deming sighed in his heart: It's painful to have money but not be able to spend it, okay?
The last one came out as a long cloth bag, and Wang Deming rubbed his hands happily again.
Blind! After opening it, it turned out to be a set of long and short branches! And it came with hundreds of rounds of bullets.
This is a good thing!
Haven’t you seen the TV series “In the Name of People” where the only time Sha Ruijin, a senior official of Handong Province, changed his attitude was when Director Qi had a sniper rifle in his hand?
This would be if the country had not banned guns.
After hiding everything in different categories, Wang Deming fell asleep with a beautiful smile!
"Say!"
"Who else are your accomplices?"
"Where did all the stuff go?"
"Tell the truth"
The beautiful morning sunlight shines into the house through the clear windows, creating a wonderful Tyndall effect. "Deming!"
"Get up quickly."
"Don't you have to report to the Continuing Education School today?"
"Knock knock." Godmother Wang Shuqin knocked on the door a few more times.
"Mom, I'll get up right away."
Wang Deming woke up from a deep sleep, replied in a daze, and stretched himself. What a happy day.
This morning he was going to attend a traditional Chinese medicine training class in Xiaoshun Hutong, and in the afternoon he was going to his master's home in Baoyu Hutong. Wang Deming found a gray khaki Zhongshan suit from his closet.
As soon as he left the house, Wang Shuqin, who was busy serving breakfast on the table in the main hall, complained to him, "Deming, when did you and your father-in-law get home last night?"
"I vaguely heard some movement at the gate."
"Now there are only women and children at home, so don't come back so late next time."
"Okay, I got it, Mom." Wang Deming agreed while squeezing toothpaste: "The last play yesterday was so wonderful, 'Four', it was Mr. Tan Fuying's play."
"I didn't come back until the show was over."
Wang Deming was about to talk about "Silang Visits His Mother" but was afraid that it would remind his godmother of her two sons, so he changed his mind temporarily.
"Well, Mr. Tan sings well as a male lead, and Mr. Mei sings well as a female lead."
"But you are young now and sleep very deeply. Especially since you have something important to do today, you must remember it well next time."
"Okay, Mom."
"Come over and have breakfast."
"Um, eh? Where's my sister?"
"I went to the detention center to see your brother-in-law, mother-in-law, and elder sister-in-law. I brought some clean clothes with me."
"Weren't the children at home yesterday? I rushed over early this morning after asking Lao Li to send the children to school."
"Oh."
Wang Deming carried the phoenix-head cart out of the main room, and Wang Shuqin entered his room holding a copper basin and brought out all his dirty clothes.
"Mom, leave it there. I'll wash it myself when I get back this afternoon."
"How can you, a grown man, wash clothes? This is a woman's job."
"Don't just stand there, get out of here! Don't be late."
Wang Deming carried the phoenix carriage out of the courtyard, started to jog, and jumped into the car. He looked so cool.
Step on the pedals hard, walk all the way south to the end of the Imperial City, turn right into East Three Street and walk west to Tiananmen Square, then walk south along Gong'an Street, pass by the three-story Baroque-style Tongren Hospital with a spire in Dongjiaomin Lane, and you will arrive at Zhengyangmen East Station.
At that time, the Tiananmen Square had not yet been renovated. The National Day had just ended. There were eight large red lanterns on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. A bust of the Chairman was hung in the middle of Tiananmen, and on both sides were hung traditional Chinese characters that read: Long live the People's Republic of China. Long live the great unity of the people of the world.
There were also many pedestrians in various outfits: some in Zhongshan suits, some in military uniforms, some in Ma褂, walking into the Forbidden City. There was also a person with a white cloth wrapped around his head at the entrance, setting up a stall and selling hot breakfast.
Directly opposite Tiananmen Square, there is Gong'an Street to the east, Xipi City to the west, and the current North China People's Government in the distance.
To the east of Gong'an Street are the police station and the Postal Administration; to the west of Xipi City are the local court and the detention center.
After passing Qianmenlou, turn south and reach the grinding factory. After passing Roushi Lane, the alley on the right is Beixiaoshun Hetong.
The newly opened Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Continuing Education School of the Chinese Medicine Association is located here.
