Chapter 16: Robbed and beaten(1/2)
Liu Hongchang suddenly came back today. The old Liu family just scrambled an extra portion of eggs and opened a box of canned meat.
Add the shredded potatoes that Wang Cuilan originally planned to eat, marinated and dried.
In fact, the mother and son also ate four dishes, and the food standard was still far ahead of ordinary families.
As a cook, Liu Hongchang was conscientious in not taking the food from the canteen directly back to his home.
Buying various ingredients from the canteen at cost is a basic benefit.
It is impossible for Liu Hongchang not to take advantage of it. In this era, no matter where the cook is, whatever the work unit has is what the cook's home will have.
Although most people can't be as extreme as a fool, if the company has a chicken, they have to blackmail half of it.
But since the workplace has chickens, it’s definitely not too much to take home an egg.
Fire at home is a little more troublesome. Whether it is coal or firewood, it is not as convenient and fast as gas.
Otherwise, it would not be difficult to make two more dishes, such as bacon, smoked fish, etc. There are also ready-made ingredients at home.
"Mom, I came back to pack things." After finishing the meal and starting to clear away the dishes, Liu Hongchang spoke.
"What did you pack?"
"I went to the provincial capital to find my brother. He had never been out. It was dark outside and he couldn't figure out the way. He couldn't figure out where the provincial hospital door opened. I needed to go and help him get organized."
There is no need to hide the fact that Liu Yunchang was found, as long as Liu Yunchang was robbed.
"Did your elder brother call your work?"
"Yes, I called the Second Canteen and asked him how his medical treatment was. He had only found out where the hospital was in the past two days and didn't even get a specialist number, so I said I would go over and help him make arrangements.
."
"Your eldest brother is such a big man, how come he can't even do this little thing well? You can go and help him organize it, otherwise he won't know how long he will be delayed in the provincial capital."
Although Liu Hongchang's reasons were a bit confusing, Wang Cuilan didn't have any suspicion.
After all, when Liu Yunchang went out, Liu Hongchang did not expect that the two of them would be robbed.
"It's almost time. I'll pack up and take the train. Then Mai Xiang will come over to accompany you after she has some free time these days. I told her."
I said I didn't have much to pack, so I just packed two changes of clothes.
Liu Hongchang still advocates simplicity in everything when he goes out. If he lacks something, he can just find a way to buy it.
Unlike people of this era who are reluctant to spend money, they have to bring various dry food buns, steamed buns, cakes, toiletries, lunch boxes, tea jars, etc. when they go out.
"Kuangchi Kuangchi!"
With the departure of the green leather train, Liu Hongchang has been busy since the morning and has only stopped now.
Because there are relatively few trains, there are still many people on the train even though it is not a holiday.
Probably, judging from the situation, most of them are wearing Chinese tunic suits.
Most of these are people who are on business trips because of business issues at work.
As for the north, it has been relatively slow to be affected by the reform. It is not yet time and there are not so many hawkers carrying sacks selling goods.
Looking at this carriage, there are no people who are sneaky, sneaky, or sneaky like pickpockets.
Liu Hongchang opened the car window and looked at the scenery on the roadside.
Of course air-conditioned cars will be nice in the future, but if you can't open the windows, you'll lose a lot of scenery.
With a layer of glass between them, it still feels a lot different.
After seeing enough, I just chatted with the passengers sitting opposite me.
In this era, people are relatively simple and enthusiastic, and there are no smart phones or tablets for entertainment in the car.
The speed is not fast, the ride is long, and there is no need to keep quiet.
Therefore, the passengers sitting across from you can start chatting with each other.
Even many people traveling long distances can temporarily act as partners to play cards.
Liu Hongchang got on the bus after one o'clock and arrived at the provincial capital after seven o'clock.
It can be regarded as sitting from day to night.
It was also the first time for Liu Hongchang to visit the provincial capital and he was not familiar with the situation.
I called a tricycle that was parked outside the train station and took me to the guest house where Liu Yunchang lived.
It is a three-story building, a public unit, and the provincial office of Ningzhou in the provincial capital.
In addition to receiving government officials, it is also open to the public.
Because most of the residents are from Ningzhou, it is relatively friendly to Ningzhou people.
Liu Hongchang first opened a room to live in. A single room costs two yuan a day. This price is relatively affordable.
Then he asked for Liu Yunchang's room number and knocked on the door.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Who is it?" Liu Yunchang's voice came from inside,
"Brother, it's me."
"Brother, you are finally here." Liu Yunchang was very excited when he saw Liu Hongchang after speaking.
"Brother, you were not only robbed, but also beaten!"
Seeing Liu Yunchang with a bruised nose and swollen face, and a panda eye in his right eye, Liu Hongchang sighed.
"They not only want to steal money, but also beat people." After welcoming Liu Hongchang into the door, Liu Yunchang grabbed Liu Hongchang with both hands and said with great grievance: "Brother, you have to make the decision for me."
"I will definitely make the decision for you, but can you find these people now?" If they can catch people, why are Liu Yunchang and Liu Hongchang waiting? They can just call the police.
"Looking for someone, how can we find someone? It's dark and dark, we are blind, we can't even see anyone clearly, how can we find someone."
Wu Xiaoying poured a glass of water for Liu Hongchang and then spoke.
"You guys went out at night?"
"Ah... I came back late last night, who knew this could happen." Liu Yunchang responded shyly.
Everyone knows that it is unsafe at night, but Liu Yunchang had been living in Ningzhou before.
After all, Ningzhou was smaller and less chaotic, so Liu Yunchang didn't know it clearly.
I have been walking at night without any problems, but now that I have been walking at night a lot, I finally encountered a ghost.
"Did you call the police?"
"We called the police yesterday. The police comrades said that there were several houses in the same situation as ours, and the people who were robbed were all foreigners who went to the provincial capital to go to the hospital for medical treatment."
"This group of people is really heartless."
Liu Hongchang has seen many kinds of crimes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But like this group of people, they specifically select these patients and rob the patients' families. It is rare for someone to be so evil-minded.
Those who go to the provincial capital to see a doctor do bring money with them, and the money they carry with them is definitely a lot.
But a large part of it is the patient's life-saving money.
Stealing money is not just about the money, it can also be said to directly kill people to a large extent.
It is certainly not an exaggeration to say that these people seek wealth and kill people.
"There's not even a cent left for me. If I hadn't paid a few extra days at the guest house and I had to withdraw, I wouldn't even be able to make a phone call to you."
Liu Hongchang seemed to know why Liu Yunchang still had a few dollars after being robbed.
"Why..."
This case cannot be said to have no clues, but the clues are quite passive.
Liu Hongchang was not sure whether he could avenge Liu Yunchang, so he could only give it a try.
"Have you had dinner?" Liu Hongchang asked after asking for details, including the two people's activities in the past two days and where they had missed money. Feeling hungry.
"I'm full, but I can't eat anything." Liu Yunchang said, pointing to the steamed buns and pickles placed on the table.
"Let's go, let's find a place to have something to eat first."
Ten years ago, let Liu Yunchang eat white flour steamed buns and pickles, and Liu Yunchang would be happy.
But now, these are indeed not attractive to Liu Hongchang.
"It's already dark, why don't you go out?" Liu Yunchang was more cautious this time, as if he was bitten by a snake once, he would be afraid of the well rope for ten years.
"It's not because of me. If you can still meet that group of people today, you can take revenge today."
According to Liu Hongchang, there are only four or five people in this group. Even if these people have knives and sticks, as long as they don't have guns, they will be given away if they meet Liu Hongchang.
"Let's go and have something to eat."
Wu Xiaoying followed and advised, Wu Xiaoying looked better, at least there was no visible injury on the outside.
The three of them went to the front desk of the guest house and inquired about some nearby restaurants.
