When Zhang Fatzi heard the news, he couldn't help but straighten his eyes. He put his chin on his chest, pondered for a long time, then looked up again, and sighed heavily, thinking that the trick was over.

"Then again," said the old man, with his hands on his knees, "my dear, we have thrown our hearts into it, and it hurts to think that we have lost so much. ”

"Not really!" Zhang Fatzi said, "It's moldy." ”

A long, bitter silence ensued. The old camel fell into deep thought, his face contorted, and he looked treacherous and evil. Zhang Fatzi secretly glanced at him from time to time.

As if she was afraid of provoking the burglar, Azhu sat alone, staring at the fire with her eyes staring, as if she couldn't hear everything that had just happened.

"Old camel," Zhang Fatzi suddenly broke the silence, "why don't you just start from the outside, plus fifty oceans, is it worth it?" ”

"It's worth it." The old camel seemed to wake up suddenly, and said.

"It's decided?" Zhang Fatzi asked.

"It's decided, it's decided." The old camel became excited after this question, his eyes lit up, and every muscle on his face moved.

"Well," said the fat man, who shook off the old camel's hand with a little contempt, "and you can do it whenever you like." The night before, I had rolled over the garden wall with my drooping eyes and tried the panels on the doors and windows. The house was closed at night, like a prison. But there's a place we can smash open, safe and lightweight. ”

"Where?" The old camel asked eagerly.

"Hey," the fat man whispered, "you walked through the meadow—"

"Really?" The old camel said, leaning forward with his head and his eyes almost falling out.

"Ahh Zhang Fat Man stopped suddenly, and then shouted again, at this moment, Ah Zhu shook his head rarely, suddenly glanced back, and immediately turned to the old camel. "It doesn't matter what place it is. Without me, you can't do this, I know in my heart, it's better to be careful when dealing with you. ”

"Whatever you want," replied the old camel, "do you want a helper?" ”

"No," said the fat man, "I want a rocker drill and a child." We have both of the first one, and you'll have to find the second one for us. ”

"A little kid?" The old camel shouted.

Zhang Fatzi replied, "I need a child, and it can't be too big." ”

The old camel still stared blankly at the fire and nodded to Azhu, and made a secret signal, signaling him to tell Azhu to leave the room.

Zhang Fatzi was impatient and thought that this kind of caution was purely superfluous. Despite this, he agreed, and asked Aju to fetch him a jar of soju.

"You didn't want any soju at all." Ah Zhu crossed his hands, sat still with a calm expression, and said.

"I'm telling you, I'm going to." Zhang Fatzi replied.

"Nonsense," said the girl indifferently, "old camel, I know what to say next, and he needs not be wary of me. ”

The old camel was still hesitating. Zhang Fatzi looked at this and that, a little inexplicable.

"Hey, old camel, don't worry about the old girl, okay?" Finally, he asked, "You have known her for a long time, and you should be able to trust her, or there are ghosts in it." She doesn't chew her tongue. Is it, Aju? ”

"I don't think so." Aju said, pulling his chair to the table, resting his elbows on the table.

"I know you won't," said the old camel, "but—" the old man said and stopped.

"Just what?" Zhang Fatzi asked.

"I don't know if she'll be crazy again, you know, like that night." The old camel replied.

Hearing this, Ah Zhu laughed loudly, raised his neck and drank a glass of white wine, shook his head with an awe-inspiring expression, and shouted "Let's continue to play", "Don't be discouraged" or something. It seemed that this action had an immediate effect, and the two were relieved, and the old camel nodded with a satisfied expression, and they sat down again.

"Now it's okay," Zhu said with a smile, "I'll tell you about Yongchang right away." ”

"Huh. You're so clever, you're the smartest girl I've ever met. The old camel patted her on the neck. That's right, I was about to say that. Hahaha! ”

"What's the matter with him?" Fat Zhang asked.

"That kid is just right for you." The old camel replied in a low hoarse voice, and he put a finger to his nose and grinned.

"Him!" Zhang Fatzi shouted.

"Take him with you." Azhu said, "If I were you, I'd do it." He's not as sophisticated as other imps. You don't need to be very capable anyway, as long as he can open a door for you. Rest assured, he can't be wrong. ”

"I knew he couldn't be wrong," the old camel accosted, "and he's trained so well in the last few weeks that it's time to start feeding himself, and besides, the other kids are too old."

"Well, that's just the right height." Zhang Fatzi said contemplatively.

"And he can do anything for you," interjected the old camel, "and he must do it, that is, if he scares him as much as he wants." ”

"Scare him." Zhang Fatzi said in the other party's tone, "I have words first, this is not a scare for show." If he doesn't do it, he doesn't stop doing it, if he plays any tricks, you don't want to see him come back alive. After thinking about it, you can support him again, listen up. The robber said, and shook an iron crow that had just been drawn from under the bed frame.

"I've thought it all," said the old camel vigorously, "I—I've examined him, quite thoroughly. Just let him feel that he is in the same group as us, and if he has such an idea in his heart, he will already be a thief, and he will become one of our people. It's ours for the rest of our lives. It couldn't be better. The old man folded his hands on his chest, his head and shoulders shrunk, and he was so happy that he hugged himself.

"Ours?" Zhang Fatzi said, "You should say that it's yours." ”

The old camel let out a shrill laugh and said, "If you are happy, count me well."

"Why," Fat Zhang glared at his shrewd partner viciously, "a little hairy kid with a face as white as chalk, why are you so willing to spend your energy?" You don't know that every night there are fifty children napping near the public park, you name it. ”

"Because they are of no use to me," replied the old camel in some confusion, "it is useless to keep them." Once something happens, they can be sentenced just by looking at their looks, and I will be beaten up. With this child, as long as I do it properly, I can do what the twenty of them can't do. Moreover, "the old camel gradually regained his self-control," and if he gave us another oil under his feet, he would have put us in a pit. He had to stay in the same boat with us. You don't care how he got here. I have a way to get him to do a robbery, and I don't need anything else. Right now, it's better than having to get rid of this poor boy - it's dangerous to do that, and we're going to lose it. ”

"When to start?" Azhu asked.

"Ah, you have to say it," said the old camel, "when will you do it?" ”

"As long as he doesn't hear any bad news from me," replied Fat Zhang in a strange voice, "it's set for the night after tomorrow." ”

"Well," said the old camel, "there was no moon that day. ”

"Yes." Zhang Fatzi responded.

"It's all arranged to get the goods out, isn't it?" The old camel asked.

Fat Zhang nodded.

"And that-"

"Well, it's all arranged," Fat Zhang interrupted him, "Don't ask about the details, you'd better bring that kid tomorrow night." I'll set off an hour after dawn, and you, don't make a sound, get the crucible ready, that's all you have to do. ”

The three of them talked about it word by word, and agreed that Azhu would go to Zhang Fatzi's residence when it was dark the next day and pick up Yongchang over.

The old camel added sinisterly, saying that if Yongchang showed a little disgust for this task, he would be more willing than others to accompany Azhu, who had escorted Yongchang not long ago.

It was solemnly agreed in the plan that for the sake of this well-thought-out action, poor Yongchang would be unconditionally handed over to the custody of the fat man.

Secondly, the above-mentioned Mr. Zhang Fatzi should make arrangements for him as appropriate. The old camel is not liable for any misfortune that may befall the child, or for any necessary punishment that may befall the child.

These preparations were put to a halt, and Zhang Fatzi began to drink liquor without restraint, and waved the iron crow in a frightening way, and at the same time mixed some fragments of songs that were completely out of place with unbearable curses, and howled.

In the end, he couldn't suppress his professional zeal, and he had to go and get the toolbox for his sliding door and picking the lock. After a while, he stumbled in with a suitcase. He opened the box, and before he could explain the performance characteristics and construction of the various tools it contained, he collapsed on the floor and fell asleep on his stomach.

"Good night, Azhu." The old camel took his leave, wrapping himself up as he had come.

When the two met with each other, the old man looked her up and down, and the girl did not look timid

The old man said goodnight to her again, and when Ah Zhu turned his back, he secretly kicked the fat man Zhang who fell to the ground, and then groped his way downstairs.

"It's always like this." The old man muttered to himself as he walked back. "These girls, the biggest problem is that a small thing will also awaken some kind of feelings that have been forgotten for a long time, and the biggest advantage is that this kind of thing will never last."

The old man used these pleasant memories to kill time as he walked. He waded through the sewage and mud and returned to his dark lair. The clever ghost had not yet slept, and was waiting for his return.
