Chapter 38 Meeting Roadhog

On the first night before school started, Aunt Niu brought her two sons over to pack things.

An Zixi felt that she was making a fuss over a molehill, because there were only three or two pieces of furniture in the house, some luggage, and some pots and pans.With just such a few things, how can so many people clean them up!
"Why don't you need it! That cabinet is so heavy, and it won't work for these two strong people. Why don't we carry it around, the old one, the small one, and break our waists."

An Zixi stopped talking, "That's hard work."

"No hard work, leave it to them!"

After tidying up for about half an hour, the east room was finally emptied, and everything except An Zixi's bedding was moved to the west room.There are very few pots and bowls in the kitchen. The family is really too poor.

"Almost there!" Aunt Niu turned around, "See if there is anything left behind?"

"no!"

"It's all ready."

Aunt Niu asked An Zixi, "Do you have a lock at home? Use it to lock the door of the west room. When we leave, I will help you move everything back and restore it to its original state."

"No need! Why lock it! I trust you." The main reason is that there is really no valuables at home, the box is eaten by moths, and I hate the trouble of chopping firewood, so it is really unnecessary to lock it.

"That won't work!" Aunt Niu took out a lock from her pocket very seriously, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a new one with three keys hanging on it.

"It has to be locked! I've got all the locks ready." After finishing speaking, he locked the door of the Westinghouse seriously, and handed the key to An Zixi, "You rest early, you have to go on your way tomorrow morning!"

An Zixi sent Aunt Niu and the others away, and then went back to the house to rest.She couldn't sleep, so she simply entered the space, punched a set in the small courtyard, went to the warehouse to look through her inventory, and finally got out of the space, resting at ease.

Anzixi got up early the next morning, packed up the bedding, took out everything that could be put on the surface, packed it in a sack, and waited for the tractor in the village.

After six o'clock, Lin Datong came to pick An Zixi up. She was very popular, and the neighbors all showed up to see her off, and Aunt Niu's family also showed up.

The scene was a bit grand, as if she had already been admitted to university!
An Zixi sat on a tractor, wrapped in a big padded jacket, and accompanied by deafening chugs, bumped for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the passenger station in the town.

There are not many buses to Magou Town, and there are only three trips to the county in the morning, noon and evening. The earliest bus departs at 07:30, so Anzixi has to wait a little longer at the station.

After saying goodbye to Lin Datong, An Zixi walked around with his luggage on his back, found a place where no one was around, and stuffed all his luggage and other daily necessities into the space, leaving only a schoolbag on his back.

The car arrived soon, and An Zixi was at the front of the line, the first to get on the car.

There are only stations in the town, and there is no special ticket window. Passengers buy tickets on the bus.

An Zixi bought a ticket to the finish line and found a seat by the window.After a while, a pair of mother and son sat down beside her. The mother and son were tidied up, and they seemed to be hardworking adults.

My mother was about 30 years old, and she wore a dark blue blouse and a red scarf that was old and not old.The little boy was born with a tiger head and a tiger head, and looked like he was only three or four years old. He wore a knitted tank cap and sat quietly in his mother's arms, not making a fuss at all.

The bear children of this era are quite cute, at least not as lethal as those of later generations.

Soon the carriage was full of people, and the conductor saw that it was full, and hurriedly asked the driver to drive.

Most of the rural roads at this time were loess roads, and the performance of the cars was not very good, and it was very bumpy to drive.The cabin was full of dust, but the passengers were clearly used to it and didn't find it intolerable.

An Zixi closed his eyes and fell asleep the whole time. Halfway through the journey, the driver turned off the engine to make it easier for the people in the car to get off.The woman sitting next to Anzixi got out of the car with the little boy in her arms, got back into the car after a while, took out an apple from her pocket, wiped it and handed it to the child.

The passengers who got off the bus all came back, but they couldn't see the driver for a long time. The little boy was happily eating an apple, but suddenly a few uninvited guests rushed up from the car.

There were five or six people who came, and as soon as they got in the car, they smashed a piece of the window glass with a wrench in their hands, and there was a bang, which scared the whole car.

An Zixi, who had been dozing off all this time, finally opened his eyes, and when he looked up, there were five gangster-looking people standing in the carriage, all holding things in their hands, with fierce eyes, looking at the people in this carriage as if they were looking at someone waiting to be slaughtered. The lamb was average.

"Be honest! Listen to our boss!"

A man in his 40s came out, and cupped his hands at the people in the carriage, "I'm out of the house, and it's not convenient for me to hold, so I'm going to ask you guys for an envoy today."

It is called borrowing, but it is actually robbery.

The minions behind him took off their hats, turned them over in their hands, and handed them to the passengers, "Hurry up!"

What is there that I don't understand? It's not convenient to go out!This is meeting Roadhog!

In the remote areas of the 90s, there were people who specialized in this kind of activity of blocking roads and stealing money, also known as road tyrants, who stopped long-distance buses, searched the belongings of ordinary people on board, and ran away after getting off.

Roadhogs are all gangsters, running around and committing crimes. In the era of backward technology and no eyesight, it is not easy to catch them.

The common people dare not speak out, so they can only take out all the money on their bodies and put it in their hats.

Those who want to hide money, or put some valuables on their body and don't want to take them out, the other party will grab them directly, and even beat them backhanded.

"Don't cause trouble. We're asking for money, not a lawsuit against people's lives." The man in the lead had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with a fierce light, making people feel trembling in their hearts just by looking at it, and could only accept their fate. Take out the money.

There is no way, go to finance to avoid disaster.

Soon, the hats were passed to An Zixi and the others.

The little boy was very quiet, hiding in the woman's arms without saying a word.The child's mother was probably afraid of scaring the child, so she happily took out all the money on her body.

The man who collected the money was very satisfied, and handed the hat to An Zixi again.An Zixi hadn't spoken yet, but the woman sitting next to her suddenly said, "Well, big brother, this is my sister-in-law, who is studying at school. Well, all the money is with me, not the child."

An Zixi blinked her eyes, thinking what's going on, is she being protected?
The man looked An Zixi up and down, and saw that she was carrying a schoolbag, with an immature look on her face, she looked like a student, so he basically believed what the woman said.

He habitually said, "Open the schoolbag, don't let me flip through it!"

 I have a cold!

  Hey, ask for a ticket.
