Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Tianyi is right. We just have to wait and go down on time at three o'clock. Now let's take a look around. Look carefully. There is a wire running down the cliff. If we follow the wire, we can Find out where they got the electricity from."

"Well, that's fine too."

A few people groped along the wire for a while on the edge of the cliff, and they found that a wire was laid along a dark ditch.

Looking for the past along the line, I saw that the other end was connected to the wire before entering the meter.

This kind of wiring is very simple.

You only need to make your own wire into a hook, peel off the outer skin of the place that needs to be hooked up, and put the wire hook on this side directly on it.

It's just that this connection method is easy to be slid by the wind because the two lines are not tightly tied, so sometimes there will be poor contact, which will burn the equipment.

Even sparks are generated.

After finding the root cause, Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tianyi and Wang Tianxin to guard here. If anyone comes up to tear off the wire, stop them and control them by the way.

Since we are going to mobilize people to attack the Cao family tonight, we can't let them relax.

Insatiable.

If you don't repair them properly, you really think that people can't do anything about them.

After making arrangements, he waited for about half an hour. Wang Tianxiao looked at the dial, and it was around three o'clock in the morning. He said to Wang Dabao, "Brother Dabao, the two of us will go down and let Tianyi and Tianxin stay on top." When you come to call for the door, just say it's a little silly temporarily, if it were me, I'm afraid they might not open the door."

"No problem, let's do it like this. This shitty Cao family has done all kinds of disgusting things. It really embarrasses our third team. I have long wanted to clean them up."

The two walked along the alleyway of the pit yard to the door, Wang Tianxiao stood beside it, and Wang Dabao called for someone.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wang Dabao first knocked hard on the door a few times.

There was no movement inside.

It is estimated that it was covered by the blower and the sound of doing things.

"Kick a few times hard." Wang Tianxiao instructed Wang Tianxin.

Wang Tianxin was eager to do this. Hearing what his brother said, he immediately raised his foot and kicked it hard, almost breaking the broken wooden door.

That kind of iron gate is not yet popular in this era, and the gates of many people's houses are very simple.

Either planks are randomly bundled, or branches are made.

The real kind of iron gate with rivets and lions, which looks mighty and majestic, will have to wait until at least the second half of the year.

In August 1985, rare torrential rains fell in several counties and cities near Qingcheng. Because autumn was already in people's minds, they lacked awareness of possible torrential rains and did not take precautions.

Many people's gutters are even blocked because they are worried that the chickens will run away.

As a result, the flood in this year was not much different from that in 1998. Many pit courtyards or earthen courtyard walls were washed away by the flood, which indirectly promoted the construction of people's new courtyards.

Many of the newly built houses are built with red brick walls, and the doors are replaced with iron gates.

There was even a period of time when people were very envious of the kind of people who built a new house. When talking, they never left the iron gate, as if it was a symbol of identity and status.

After Wang Tianxin kicked the door, there was movement inside.

With a "creak", the door of the tofu room opened, and someone shouted from the yard, "Who is it?"

Wang Tianxiao could tell that it was Cao Hong's elder brother Cao Shuang.

There are two brothers in the Cao family, the elder brother Cao Shuang, who was born with a big and three rough, and his mind is a little out of order.

The appetite is super large.

In Li Yali's words, I just don't know how Cao Shuang got so fat, maybe eating big steamed buns and drinking cold water will make me fat.

The main reason is that Wang Peng and Wang Fang were very thin when they were young.

It's okay that Wang Fang is thin, her appearance belongs to that kind of small face and small frame.

But Wang Peng has a big head, and if his body were thinner, it would look a little ugly, like a stick figure.

As for Cao Shuang, he later married a wife who was also a woman with a low IQ. She was good-looking, but she looked stupid. She gave birth to two children, a son and a daughter, both of whom were also stupid...

But those two children are also very good at stealing things.

I followed my grandma to Wang Tianxiao's house to play, and if I didn't pay attention, I saw that they were gone, so I hurried to chase them, and then searched my pockets. There must be something in my pockets that I sneaked away.

Later, when the grandson grew up, he lived up to expectations and was sentenced to three years in prison for burglary.

It can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors, and they will carry forward the cause of their Cao family, properly, the real Cao thief.

Cao Shuang's younger brother, Cao Hong, is a "little clever ghost".

This child is the person who doesn't like stealing things the most in the Cao family, but he is very afraid of his wife. After marrying a wife, he kicked her out of the family. .

It can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Now that someone has agreed, it's time for Wang Dabao to act.

He shouted inside: "It's me, your great treasure."

This is not to give others a bad impression, it is based on seniority.

The seniority of the Cao family is very low, and the peers are basically three generations lower, so they need to be called Wang Dabao.

Small voices came from inside, and after a few minutes, Cao Shuang asked again: "Master Dabao, you are in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

"You open the door first, let me stand outside the door and talk?"

"The main reason is that we all fell asleep. It's the middle of the night. I don't know what's going on with you. Why don't you say tomorrow?"

"Oh, it's like this. I was playing cards with the fourth team at night, but when I came back, I accidentally broke my leg, and now I can't walk. It doesn't mean that your house happens to be nearby, so I came to you to find something. Baobao, by the way, help me call my family."

This kind of wording was discussed before. It would be fine if the Cao family opened the door directly. If they don't open the door, they have to find a way.

Sure enough, Cao Shuang couldn't find any reason to refuse after hearing what Wang Dabao said. He had a bad mind and mainly relied on his mother Rui Qiaodan to arrange it.

You can't hear Wang Dabao like this, so let's turn a blind eye.

After all, they are members of the third team, and many things will be assigned and arranged by the captain in the future. The county magistrate might as well take care of it now.

Cao Shuang didn't know what he was doing, so he walked over slowly and opened the door after a few minutes.

He also had a flashlight in his hand.

But before he could see the figure clearly, Wang Tianxiao grabbed his arm and told Wang Dabao to go to the tofu shop immediately.

Cao Shuang is about 1.7374 meters tall. He is not very tall, but his body is very strong. He has gained a lot of strength by doing physical work all year round. If he is an ordinary person, there is really no way to deal with him.

Wang Tianxiao was already prepared, so he was the first to subdue him when he entered the door.

Cao's tofu workshop is on the south side, it was bright when it was on the top just now, but now it has become pitch black.

But how can this cover up the past?

Wang Dabao went straight to the door of the tofu house, patted on the door and shouted: "Qiaodan, Cao Daneng, I know you are inside, come out, you have the guts to steal electricity, what's the point of hiding now. Put the lamp and the door Open."

There was no movement inside.

Wang Dabao couldn't laugh or cry.

This family is not smart.

Can this be concealed? Look at the steam coming out of the window. It is obvious that a pot was burning inside just now.

Even if they didn't see the lights up there, that alone would give them a clue.

"You won't come out, right? Then I'll call the police, and let the police see how much electricity you have stolen from the public house. According to this amount, your whole family may have to go in and sit for several years, so there is no need to make this tofu. Alright."

"I'll give you a few more seconds..."

"squeak!"

The door opened and the lights inside came back on.

Cao Daneng, Rui Qiaodan and Cao Hong all stepped out and blocked the inside of the door.

"Captain, in the middle of the night, you came to me just for this matter. You treat our family members as thieves, don't you?"

Wang Dabao almost laughed out of joy.

Needless to say, what is the identity of your family, do you have no idea in your heart.

That's because I want to treat you as thieves. It's your family, so you don't want to be human.

At this time, Wang Tianxiao subdued Cao Shuang and came here. He was about to speak, but Cao Hong suddenly ran through the gap and ran directly to the top of the pit yard while no one was paying attention.

Wang Tianxiao didn't even look at it, just smiled lightly.

Under the dim light, his smile looked particularly sinister.

"Uncle Tianxiao, why did you come with me?"

Cao Daneng is the only honest person in the Cao family, so he usually doesn't speak much. No matter what happens, he just cowers and stands behind his wife, waiting for her to come out.

This old man has been selling tofu all his life, and finally got a little dementia. They had already moved to build a house above the pit yard, but one night, when he went to the toilet, he walked directly to the edge of the pit yard for no reason. He fell down and died.

Since the old man's death, almost all members of the Cao family are wicked.

Without a good tutor, how can we educate a good child.

Three generations of descendants, the family of the king of thieves.

"Da Neng, since we are all standing here, you should know why we are, right? We are all neighbors, relatives of Zhuang Li Zhuang. Brother Da Bao and I don't want to mess things up. Let's see how to deal with this matter?"

"What, Uncle Tianxiao, what are you talking about, please speak clearly, why can't I understand?"

Cao Daneng didn't know how to answer Wang Tianxiao's words, and fell into a state of stupefaction. His wife Rui Qiaodan formally took over the conversation.

Speaking of Rui Qiaodan, he is really not ordinary.

No one knows where her hometown is. It is said that she once said that she came up from Sichuan, but Wang Tianxiao has never heard this woman speak Sichuan dialect.

There are many people from Sichuan in Qingcheng, because the two provinces border each other.

Although Long Province is not very developed, at least it is better than Sichuan at that time.

But it was then.

After decades of vicissitudes, the economic development of Sichuan has far surpassed that of Long Province. This is a later story.

At that time, because the life in Sichuan was relatively hard, many people couldn't survive directly, and they basically came here by begging all the way, just like Li Yali's father, Li Wanfu, who was also a foreigner who fled for his life in Sichuan, and set up a home here.

Rui Qiaodan said that she also escaped from Chuanli.

But Wang Tianxiao once talked about this matter with Li Yali, and he felt that running for his life should be true, but it probably wasn't because he was poor and couldn't survive, it must be because he stole something from others and was chased by others, so he had no choice but to run here.

Since Rui Qiaodan married Cao Daneng, the Cao family became famous for stealing.

Rui Qiaodan is the one who founded the sect.

When she was young, she once went to steal watermelons from someone else's field, and her left leg was broken, so she has been limping since then, and people in the village called her Guaiqiaodan.

Regardless of her physical problems, her spirit was not hit, but she became more courageous as she fought.

Countless nights in Wangjia Village, her beating figure is always active.

Often at dawn, before people get up, they hear someone in the village scolding her, but she doesn't care at all, scolding is yours, and I should steal as I should.

Steal all kinds of vegetables, fruits, corn and sweet potatoes, even piled wheat straw.

Anyway, just don't go empty.

For example, the Cao family has no apricot trees at all, but every year when apricots are in peak season, their field is always full of dried apricots, and they sell hundreds of catties of dried apricots every year. Think about how it all came about.

Moreover, their family has never raised chickens, but if you look carefully, you can often see them carrying a basket of chicken feathers and dumping them into the garbage pit. Where did the chickens come from...

Under the influence of Guaiguai Qiaodan, the younger generations scrambled to be the first, and they all fully absorbed her teachings.

Some people must have said, this old shameless person steals so much, why can everyone bear it and not turn her over to the police station?

This is because the things she stole each time were not precious things, and in most cases they were not caught on the spot.

If she is caught on the spot, she will cry desperately, and her pitiful appearance will make others angry, but it is inconvenient to continue to strictly demand it.

Gradually, everyone got used to it.

I despise her in my heart, I scold her when I should, but I tolerate her objectively.

It can only be said that the people here are sometimes savage, and sometimes they have a bit of warmth.

Maybe everyone still thinks about Cao Daneng.

After all, he is an honest man, and he got along well with everyone before.

The only blame is that he married a shameless daughter-in-law.

Many things in the world seem unreasonable, but they just exist.

Wang Tianxiao knew that Guaiguai Qiaodan had this kind of virtue, so he was prepared in his heart. He didn't say much, and directly left Cao Shuang aside, opened Guaiguai Qiaodan abruptly, and walked into the tofu shop.

Wang Dabao also stepped in.

Once inside, there is actually nothing to say.

The tofu soup in the pot was still steaming, and there was nowhere to hide.

The pot for making tofu is very large, not a small pot for ordinary cooking, so even if the whole pot of tofu needs to be cleaned up suddenly, there is no way to clean it up.

Wang Tianxiao asked Guaiguai Qiaodan who followed him: "Didn't Cao Shuang just say that you guys went to bed early, then what is this, is the tofu made by ghosts for you?"

Cao Shuang was a little embarrassed, he was stupid but not a fool, so he couldn't help but look at his mother.

Guaiguai Qiaodan is an old Jianghu, seeing the incident was exposed, but she was not very worried, she saw her hands on her hips, and sneered, "Why, we are not allowed to make tofu in the middle of the night? We said we are going to bed, because we don't want you to Come in, no, I have an opinion, who is like you who come to other people's houses in the middle of the night?"

"That makes sense, doesn't it? Then tell me, why did we come to your house in the middle of the night?" Wang Tianxiao was not annoyed, he was already ready tonight, just to see what else this woman could do.

It is equivalent to the depression of the past life and the present life, and it will end tonight.

"I don't care why you guys, I said Uncle Dabao, what's the matter with you, I always thought you were an honest person, why did you follow this kind of thing, and said you fell, where did you fall, it's really a lie Make a draft, you are the captain after all, can you pay attention to your identity."

Wang Dabao was originally an honest person, so he was a little embarrassed when he could stand this guy's words.

Originally, he had the upper hand, occupying the commanding heights of reason, but now he is almost about to lose it.

Immediately subconsciously looked at Wang Tianxiao.

Just like the two armies fighting, the general of the Cao family is Guaiguai Qiaodan, and here is Wang Tianxiao.

The others are all their soldiers and appendages.

"You don't know what the captain is here for, do you? Well, let me tell you now."

As Wang Tianxiao said, he went straight to the pot table, pointed to the wood inside and said, "Your pot table is really high-end, it doesn't even have a bellows, such a deep hearth, where does the wind come from, and how does your firewood burn? "

"this……"

Guaguai Qiao was stunned when he saw it.

They temporarily removed the blower, but did not put the bellows on.

If it is an ordinary stove, it can be said that the wood burns by itself, but the stove for making tofu is very deep. If there is no blowing air, there will be a serious lack of oxygen inside, and there is no way to burn it.

This is basic common sense in life, and Guaguai Qiaodan can't deny it.

She rolled her eyes and said lightly: "What's the matter, we won't think of a way if we can't burn it, and it has nothing to do with you, just worry about your own affairs."

"You still have to be stubborn, don't you?"

Wang Tianxiao walked over quickly, and directly lifted a piece of plastic paper in the corner, "What is this, Guaiguai Qiaodan, can you explain it to me and the captain?"

It turned out that behind the plastic paper, there was a wire hanging impressively, and the bottom of the wire was a blower.

"You can't tell me that you connected this blower just for fun, and you didn't steal electricity from our line at all?"

"No, we like to hang like this..."

Guaguai Qiaodan still insisted on being stubborn, unwilling to give in.

Wang Tianxiao was not in the mood to continue talking to this woman, it was a waste of time to reason with her.

He went straight to the point: "Rui Qiaodan, you just wanted Cao Hong to go up and tear down the wires, don't think about it, we have seen it when we got down from the top, and people are guarding somewhere, as long as I follow the wires If you pull it up, you will definitely be able to pull it to that wire."

When Guaguai Qiao heard that Cao Hong was mentioned, her complexion changed drastically, and her face was ashen.

"So, we don't want to continue talking to you, we just want to solve the problem."

Wang Tianxiao took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and said directly: "Look, you stole electricity here last month for a total of about 360 degrees, and if you add a few days this month, it will be 40 degrees for you." The overall calculation is 400 degrees. Now you will settle the electricity bill to me in one lump sum."

"What, how could I steal so much electricity?"

Guaguai Qiaodan was already wilted, but when he heard that he was going to lose money, he struggled and continued to shout.

"Are you stupid?"

Wang Dabao couldn't stand it anymore, he pointed at Guaguai Qiaodan's face and said: "You woman is really ignorant, you are so stupid to the limit, you think that stealing electricity is like taking other things from other people's houses, and there is no record when you take it away. , Let me tell you, the electricity is recorded by the meter, whoever stole the electricity can be judged directly from the meter, otherwise, why can we lock your house?"

Seeing that Guaiguai Qiaodan still didn't bow his head, he said depressedly: "You said you, you have a good life all day, but you know how to do some sneaky things. You really think that others don't know what kind of stuff you are, but everyone I'm from the village, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"Captain, what are you talking about? Do you think we are easy to bully?" Guaiguai Qiaodan was still unconvinced, and continued to struggle from another angle, "Yes, we used some electricity without your permission, but This electricity does not belong to your family, it belongs to the government, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"You know shit."

Before Wang Tianxiao said anything, Wang Dabao became very excited.

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?"

"Why, I don't understand what you're talking about, so speak clearly if you want to."

"Because there are people on our team who are unwilling to pull electricity, this part of the money is paid by Tianxiao in advance, so these households are temporarily under the name of Tianxiao, and the people in the power station only collect money based on the total electricity. If the electricity consumption of each household does not meet the total electricity consumption, Tianxiao will have to pay for the difference, do you understand?"

Seeing that Guaiguai Qiaodan was a little confused, Wang Dabao continued to add: "That is to say, Brother Tianxiao has to pay the electricity bill to the power supply station for the electricity you stole, so do you still think that this matter has nothing to do with us? Can you take care of your face, you are too old, and you don't set a good example for the children, and you spend all day for this petty profit, is it shameful?"

Guaiguai Qiaodan was a little hard to get along with being scolded by Wang Dabao.

Looking at the husbands and children around me, they are all the kind of people who can't stand up to things, so they muttered: "Even if I use a little electricity, it's not a big deal, and you don't have to do this."

As she said that, she still looked at Wang Tianxiao with pitiful eyes, begging for Wang Tianxiao to be soft-hearted.

Because after Wang Tianxiao came back, she was basically in the mountains, so she actually knew Wang Tianxiao as the honest person before, thinking that as long as she pretended to be pitiful, Wang Tianxiao might let her go because she couldn't bear it. .

But her thinking is obviously wrong.

The Wang Tianxiao in front of him is no longer the honest man he used to be.

Today, he vowed never to give these shameless bad guys any more face.

Since it's shameless, it can't be blamed for not letting them go down the stairs.

"If you say it's not necessary, then it's not necessary. Who gave you face?"

Wang Tianxiao sneered, looked condescendingly at the shameless woman in front of him, and said in a cold and indifferent tone, "Now you have been stolen by us, and you still say what to do, just lose money."
