Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 76 Who Cheated Whom
"No...wait?"

Wang Tong looked at Fang Hongan in astonishment, "Brother! This... is not good!"

When Fang Hongan saw Hei Zai's expression, he knew that he must be thinking wrongly.

She curled her lips and said to him calmly, "Hei Zai! Open the bundle and take a look first!"

Seeing Fang Hongan's expression suddenly become serious, Wang Tong immediately felt that something was wrong.

He quickly ran over, untied the hemp rope that was hooked on the carrying pole, and opened the cloth bundle.

At first glance, you can see that it is all neatly folded cotton cloth!

But when Wang Tong pulled away the cotton cloth and looked inside, his entire face suddenly turned pale.

Under the cotton cloth, there were actually leaves that were tightly pressed together.

"This……"

Wang Tong shuddered, walked to the other side in disbelief, and opened the other bundle.

Without exception, the situation in this bundle is exactly the same as the first one.

"Son of a bitch!"

Realizing that he had been cheated, Wang Tong gritted his teeth and prepared to run after him.

"Don't go!"

Fang Hongan grabbed him.

"elder brother!"

Wang Tong turned around with a guilty look on his face: "It's all my fault! I trusted him too much! Let me go... I will help you get the 60 yuan back no matter what!"

After he finished speaking indignantly, he glanced and found that Fang Hongan not only did not look angry at all, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Thinking back to Fang Hongan's actions of asking him to leave and to look after his bag, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Brother! You knew it a long time ago!" Wang Tong looked at Fang Hongan with a puzzled look.

"OK!"

Fang Hongan nodded.

At the same time, he picked up a bag and ran quickly to the garbage pool on the side. He took out the layer of cotton cloth, and then poured the remaining leaves in the bag into it.

Seeing this, Wang Tong quickly followed suit and ran over with the remaining bag, his face full of confusion and astonishment: "Brother, since you already knew it, why did you still give him money!"

"Money?" Fang Hongan pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously, "Who said that what I gave him must be money!"

As he spoke, Fang Hongan reached into his pocket, and when he took his hand out and spread it in front of Wang Tong, there was already the sixty yuan that he had counted before.

"This this……"

Wang Tong looked at the sixty yuan in front of him and was so excited and shocked that he was speechless.

When the money was being counted and put away, he was standing next to Fang Hongan.

He saw with his own eyes Fang Hongan put the money into the small cloth bag.

How come there is sixty more dollars out of nowhere?

"It's just a little trick!"

Seeing that his eyes were bigger than copper bells, Fang Hongan took out a cloth bag filled with money and demonstrated it several times in front of him.

This little trick was something Fang Hongan learned in his previous life when he was watching magic tricks and practiced it by following videos on the Internet out of curiosity.

Just treat it as some boring little tricks when you are alone.

In the final analysis, there is no special technique, it's just a combination of quick hands and misplacement.

But I didn't expect that I would be able to play a role after being reborn.

Wang Tong watched in a daze as Fang Hongan clearly put the money in again and again, but then the money magically appeared in his hands. While he was amazed, his whole face was full of worship.

"Brother! Please... teach me!"

"Let's talk about it when we have time! Pack up your things and go! If you're any slower, he'll be back!"

Fang Hongan patted his shoulder and quickly folded the bag in his hand.

"oh oh!"

Wang Tong nodded and hurriedly started to pack up. At this moment, he could already imagine an extremely satisfying scene in his mind: the liar named Shi Qiang was hiding in an alley, proudly and excitedly opening the cloth bag containing money.

Then... after seeing that there were only a few pieces of waste paper in the cloth bag, that extremely proud and excited smile turned into shock and anger in an instant...

This picture...

Just thinking about it, Wang Tong felt so happy!
After packing up their things, the two turned around and walked quickly towards the East Gate Well.

Because Dongmenjing and the station Shiqiang mentioned are not in the same direction, there is no need to worry about meeting them on the road.

So both of them drove at full speed, trotting all the way.

Fang Hongan slowed down his pace only after he had walked a long distance.

As he walked quickly along the way, Wang Tong kept reviewing the scenes just now in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

Because he found that even if he looked back again, he could not find any flaws in Shi Qiang's words, and he couldn't understand how Fang Hongan could tell that this was a scam.

Seeing Fang Hongan slow down his pace, he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Brother! How did you find out that something was wrong?"

Seeing Wang Tong's face full of confusion, Fang Hongan knew that this guy was probably still struggling with the scam. It was just as well, as this was a rare opportunity to teach him a lesson with personal example.

This scam of placing items began in the 1980s and continued for more than 20 years.

They will always exist, and there are various similar ways of evolution.

Explain this matter to him in detail, so that Hei Zai can be more careful when facing similar things in the future!

Immediately, facing Wang Tong's inquiring gaze, Fang Hongan smiled faintly and said, "I discovered it since..."

"From... the beginning?" Wang Tong's face was filled with even more surprise.

"That's right!"

Fang Hongan nodded, and then slowly explained: "Shi Qiang said they were here to deliver cotton cloth, right? But it was clearly three loads, why did the village have to arrange two people to deliver it?

Who has the brain to make such an arrangement?

Furthermore... have you ever folded cotton cloth? If there are two large bags of cotton cloth pressed tightly together, the shoulder pole will bend more than that when you carry it!

Also... he just wants a letter of introduction. If it really doesn't work, he can just ask us to help get it. Why does he have to go by himself...

and also……

……

at last……"

Fang Hongan sorted them out one by one.

The more Wang Tong listened, the more surprised he became.

This thing seemed to be flawless to him, but when it came to his brother An, it was full of loopholes.

He pondered over Fang Hongan's words again and again. After a while of silence, he suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help asking Fang Hongan:
"Then, brother, since you have already discovered it, why did you agree to it? Just to tease him?" Wang Tong scratched his head, "This is not like your style!"

"This... I have to start from this!"

Fang Hongan smiled faintly and nodded towards the thing in his hand.

Wang Tong took a look at his hands and found that these were exactly the pieces of cotton cloth and the large piece of cloth that was used as a bundle!

Let’s talk about this cotton cloth!
It's just a few pieces. Wang Tong took a special look at them when he was cleaning up just now.

Several of them were broken.

If you take it back, you can only use it as a rag or something like that.

It's not worth any money at all.

Obviously, Fang Hongan couldn't be referring to these pieces of rags.

Could it be this baggage cloth?

When dealing with it just now, Wang Tong didn't pay much attention because he was in a hurry.

Now, when I looked at it more carefully, I found that the cloth in my hand was not only hard and strong, but also the surface looked like it was covered with a layer of paint!
This immediately reminded Wang Tong of the requirements that Fang Hongan had mentioned for making the bee-proof fabric for the clothes.

It seems...all can be satisfied!

　I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve and great fortune in the Year of the Dragon!
