Chapter 281: Fortify the Wall and Clear the Fields
On the straight road, two people were jogging one after the other. The one in front was holding a handful of banknotes and walking and stopping. When he saw a car, he raised his hand and shouted, "Go into the city! All the money is yours!"
The person behind him will immediately say from a distance: "Don't trust this scammer——"
Both of them were shouting as they ran. After two kilometers, Long Taiquan Saburo's voice became hoarse and he could hardly raise his hands. Every time a car passed by, he would still hold on to a glimmer of hope and shout, "Let's go into the city... the money is yours..."
Li Erhu followed weakly: "Don't believe this scammer..."
Long Taiquan Saburo was exhausted physically and mentally. He sat down on the side of the road with a lonely look. He suddenly felt regretful. He had a bright career and was admired by thousands of people. Why did he spend most of the night on such an unknown road with a fool? It can only be said that the reason was greed. Although he could make a lot of money playing games, it could not support his extravagant life. Moreover, he would lose in games. If you choose this profession, you will give 100% effort on the first day, and you will have to give 110% sweat on the second day, otherwise you will be caught up by the players who are willing to give 120%. Long Taiquan Saburo is not young anymore. He knows that he has slipped from his peak state and may have slipped to the top of the mountain. He wants to make a fortune before going down the mountainside, but it is obvious that things do not go as planned. Some roads are dead ends, and some things you cannot touch, otherwise you will suffer retribution!
Feeling tired and wanting to rest for a while before continuing his work, Ryuta Izumi Saburo buried his head between his knees, intending to take a nap, even if it was only for three minutes.
Li Erhu stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.
Long Taiquan Saburo was furious and asked, "How dare you provoke me?"
Li Erhu said in a clear voice: "I was the one who provoked you all along the way."
Long Taiquan Saburo was speechless for a moment, and changed his tone to a relatively gentle one: "I won't bother with you, let me rest for a while."
Li Erhu put his hands on his hips and said, "No, if I let you rest for a while, I will be even more defeated. You either keep running—"
Long Taiquan Saburo said, "How about I go to the Public Security Bureau with you?"
Li Erhu said: "I understand two things. First, you don't want to go to the Public Security Bureau, so you must be a bad person. Second, I have to wear you down before going to the Public Security Bureau, otherwise you will cause harm to our police comrades with your skills."
Long Taiquan Saburo said coldly: "You are obviously not stupid, why do you do stupid things? What good will this do you?"
Li Erhu said: "Everyone has the responsibility to maintain public order. Even if I caught you stealing a wallet, I would have to spend the whole night with you!"
Long Taiquan Saburo sighed and said, "It's just my bad luck."
Li Erhu said: "It's not bad. If you had met my brothers, you would have been lying in the hospital now."
Ryuta Quan Saburo didn't know who his brother was, so he naturally didn't pay any attention to such nonsense. He carefully put the money into his wallet one by one, stood up, and continued running.
Although he said he was running, his speed was almost the same as walking. The sky was already getting light, and there were more cars on the road, even taxis. But Long Taiquan Saburo no longer had any hope. He trotted forward for a while, and Long Taiquan Saburo's eyes lit up - after running all night, he had entered the city without realizing it, and there was a KFC in front of him! He suddenly sped up and almost sprinted into the door of KFC. The waiter behind the counter said with a smile: "Good morning, sir, do you want a breakfast set?"
Long Taiquan Saburo jumped onto the counter as if hearing heavenly music, and shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! I want whatever you have, food and drink, I want it all!"
The waiter was startled by his bloodshot eyes and bruised face, but still said politely, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Li Erhu chased in relentlessly, shouting, "Don't give him anything! He's a bad guy!"
Long Taiquan Saburo said anxiously: "Don't listen to him, he is a psychopath!"
Li Erhu continued to say to the waiter: "If you feed him too much, someone will die!"
The waiter hesitated and said, "This..."
Long Taiquan Saburo slapped his wallet on the counter and said, "No matter who I am, if you have money, you have to sell me things, right?"
The waiter said: "Yes..."
Li Erhu rushed to the counter like a whirlwind, grabbed his wallet and ran to the door, shouting, "Now he has no money!"
Long Taiquan Saburo was shocked by this operation: "Eh? You robbed me?"
Li Erhu raised the wallet in his hand and said to the waiter: "I stole the wallet, please call the police."
Long Taiquan Saburo looked at the waiter warily. The waiter didn't know what the two had experienced that night. He thought it might be a joke between bad friends or they might be two psychopaths. But Long Taiquan Saburo's words gave him inspiration. He said in a businesslike manner: "Sir, this is a fast food restaurant. You can order food if you have money."
Long Taiquan Saburo said, "Give me the things first, and I'll take the wallet back later."
The waiter said cheerfully, "No, sir."
Long Taiquan Saburo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he put his hands on the counter. Li Erhu hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, he might steal your things."
The waiter flashed to the oil tank where the French fries were being fried. The hot oil inside was boiling. The waiter put the colander into the tank and said with a smile, "You can't rob it, sir."
"I--" Ryuta Izumi Saburo had been running for several hours, and his stomach was so empty that it could make an echo. At this moment, all he could smell in his nose was the fragrance of hamburgers and French fries, and the sweet taste of Coke, but he just couldn't put it in his mouth, and he was almost going crazy.
The waiter kindly reminded: "You can also scan the QR code to pay, sir."
"I won't fucking use these things of yours!" Long Taiquan Saburo said viciously, "Just wait, I'm going to snatch your wallet back!" After saying that, he pounced on Li Erhu, who pushed the door and ran out.
On the road, the two men switched places. Li Erhu ran and said, "It's your turn to chase me now. How do you feel?"
Long Taiquan Saburo said hysterically: "Give the wallet back! Otherwise I will kill you!"
The reversal of the situation made it really difficult for Li Erhu to run. Long Taiquan Saburo was unable to get rid of Li Erhu all night because even if he couldn't get rid of him, his life would not be in danger. This time he was fighting for basic survival. He saw the distance between them getting closer and closer.
There was a truck ahead, carrying the garbage left at the door of a roadside restaurant. The truck had a simple robotic arm that could automatically lift the garbage can and dump it into its belly. There was a mixer in its belly that kept pushing the garbage on the opening to the innermost part. Li Erhu ran over, raised his hand and threw his wallet into the belly of the garbage truck...
Long Taiquan Saburo's eyes turned red when he saw it. Garbage sorting has not yet been implemented in the suburbs of this third-tier city, but the truck is basically full of kitchen waste, which is sticky and smelly. Long Taiquan Saburo also thought about asking the driver to stop the machine and look for his wallet, but when he got closer and smelled the odor, he almost vomited.
"You! You!" Long Taiquan Saburo pointed at Li Erhu and wanted to curse him with the most vicious words in the world, but his stomach was empty and his brain couldn't keep up, and he couldn't think of what to curse.
Li Erhu said: "This is called clearing the countryside. When your ancestors invaded us, our ancestors dealt with you devils in this way!"
