Chapter 109: The rules

Translator: Lionwwang  Editor: Lionwwang

In a track, Dorra and I are sitting in the back row. At this moment, we have already left the city, to the area of urban-rural integration. We can see from a distance the typical hilly and plain area in the south, and there are some huge high billboards.

Dorra is sitting next to me. Up to now, the girl has been completely exhausted. When I took her to the track, she was sleeping on me in almost two minutes. Her eyelids are trembling slightly in the dream, and the face has a pitiful expression, as if the dream is full of panics too.

I take off my coat and put it on her. Then I look out of the window, a little dazed.

Two unfortunate robbers who have robbed me also get out of their troubles. I promised to pay them enough to go home, but now I only give them half of the monies, and the rest will be paid until we have arrived HaiCity.

By the way, the route we are taking now is the ordinary national road. Because I thought that since those guys can arrange people to block me at the railway station, then surely, all stations, wharfs, airports, must be monitored!

Take the national road will detour, but there is no toll station, can not be monitored, the safety factor is higher that highway.

The two guys are sitting in the front row. A fat guy is driving. He’s a little straight forward temper. He should be an honest man. And the other fellow, with a long face and a slightly older age, is the one who was watching out at the entrance of the lane when robbing. It seems that he experienced more outside and has some calculations in his mind. Sure enough, I ask them a little question, the fat man is unsuspecting. I ask what, he answers what. But the long face seems to be a little afraid of me, and somewhat professes one thing, but mean another.

I’m taking a young girl with the appearance of going out, but there are some bloodstains on my clothes, especially on my hands, which were hit by something. Now half of my palms are swollen, even cigarettes can’t be clamped. The nails of my thumbs bled so much that I can’t wrap them up easily. I even feel the wounds on my knees have sticking to my trousers, although the bleeding has stopped. But when I move, everytime I pull my pants slightly, it pains me deeply!

Now sitting in the truck, I finally have the chance to examine my wounds.

I carefully roll up my trousers. There are some dried bloods on my calves. Keeping rolling up, the wounds on my trousers and knees are sticky and slightly torn. The pain makes me grin. I’m cursing in a low voice, taking a grip on myself, pulling the pants apart and gasping.

The long-face man in front is looking in the mirror and seeing me deal with the wounds. His face is frightened, opening his mouth several times but saying nothing.

I take a look at him, and he’s quickly turning his eyes back and pretending to look out of the window. But then he finds out a bottle of water and hands it to me: “Bro, just use this to wash the wounds.”

“Thank you.” I take the water over, take out a package of tissue and carefully dip the water to clean the wound. Then I move my knee again. Fortunately, there should be no bone problem, but just skin injury.

After all, I was running around outside before. Escaping, must take nessesary things with. From my bag, I find out a bag of gauze, tear one and bind up the knee wound, and then put down the trousers. The long face man in front hands me a cigarette. I thank for him with a smile, not smoke it, but insert it behind my ear.

“Bro, is there something happened to you?” Long face man is asking. I just nod and say nothing.

The fat man is driving. He’s laughing loudly and saying: “Brother, have you practiced kongfu? Damn, you just knocked us down so easily. That’s terrible!”

I say lightly: “Nothing, just daily practise myself.” The fat man is cring out: “Daily practise? How can knock both of us down so easily?”

The long-face man is hesitating for a moment, looking back at me and lowering his voice: “I say, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing me frowning, he’s saying quickly, “I don’t want to inquire more about you, ah… It’s just that you’ve helped us. Maybe there is something we can help you too?”

I’m laughing and saying: “There’re some private things, but you can’t help us.”

I don’t want to talk more about myself, just change the topic to them and say: “You two are so lucky to meet me in your first robbery. Otherwise, you are squatting in the police station now.”

“Why?” The fat man asks.

I shake my head: “Don’t you really understand? You’re just kidding with me or really seldom go far?”

The fat man is nodding immediately: “Yes, this is my first time out for a long distance. He has run twice and said that the income is fairly good. Who knows what the hell that the first time come out and we just have met such a shit thing!”

I laugh and say: “You tried to rob nearby the railway station, how dare you to do that? You were looking for death, do you know?”

“Why?” The long-face man seems somewhat dissatisfies, “Damn, there are so many thieves near the railway station. What should we have trouble?”

Looking at him, I say lightly: “Don’t you believe it? OK! Anywhere, the station must be in chaos. But don’t you know? In such places, thieves, robbers, or waiting in alleys for mugging. They aren’t on their own! They are organized and divided into groups, with territorial divisions. The two of you are new hereto be trying to grab a meal on someone else’s turf. I tell you, if you didn’t meet me, even if you have really snatched it, you would have had bad luck in a twinkling of the time! I said you might be taken into the police station. It might be a better situation! If you were caught by the original gangsters of this area, there’s no wonder that your hands would be cut!”

The long-face man’s face is showing a little fear. He’s taking out a cigarette and lighting it, taking a smoke, then saying with a sigh: “Damn, we almost caused a catastrophe!”

I laugh: “You didn’t go out much, and it’s normal not to know these things.”

The fat man immediately cuts in and says: “Yeah! I was afraid we might be not sure what to do with this shipment and should ask Dony to come with us. We just new to do this business. If we had him to help with take care the things, everything might be better. Damn it, you think you’ve followed twice and have known everything? Damn it!”

The long-face man looks embarrassed and is arguing forcefully: “Damn it, I don’t want anything to happen! Shut up! Weren’t you also eager to follow out and make money? In fear of the troubles, you just damn go back home and hold your wife!”

I understand. No wonder these two guys are a little silly. They are the rookies.

The long-face man ran the long-distance transportations with someone for some times, and found it easy to make money. He wanted to make more money so that ventured out and did it alone. As a result, he was inexperienced and unexpected to have the accidents in our city.

I laugh and say: “Actually, there are very few people who dare to rob at the railway station with the knife. It is said that there are a lot of chaos in the south, but the local gangs will hardly go out with knives to rob. If they are caught, the crime will be too big and the sentencing will be very heavy. You are all rookies, and naturally you don’t understand this.”

“If robbery doesn’t take a knife, can we take a gun? We don’t have a gun.” Fat man is somewhat unconvinced.

I laugh. There’s nothing to do now anyway, so I can kill time by chatting with these two guys: “Local gangs usually don’t rob you flagrantly. Only migrant criminals from other places would do so. Locals have a set of rules. Let me give you an example.”

I take out a pack of cigarettes, shaking in my hand and say: “I’ll take a few people, pushing you into the alley. Then I’ll take out the cigarettes. The original price is ten for a pack. I’ll let you buy them for one hundred. I just need to take out a carton of cigarette, which originally only worth one hundred, but I let you to give me one thousand! Do not want to buy it? There’ll be a beating if you don’t buy it! When you give the money, I’ll leave the cigarettes to you. That’s the rule!” I’m sneering, “When you go back to report the police, don’t say whether you can catch them or not. You are the strangers, and you always need to leave. When you leave, even the informant has left, and the police station will basically ignore the case. If they were really unlucky to be caught, you know why they leave that cigarettes to you? They will say it with absolutely sure that It was just buying and selling! It is also illegal, but the crime of forced purchase and sale is lighter than robbery. The same is to get one thousand money from you, but it’s much more technical than holding a knife to rob directly!” I shake the cigarette pack in my hand and put it back in my pocket, “The law is not perfect, don’t you know it?!”

“FXXX!” The fat man can’t help scolding and muttering, “Robbery is even having a set of the rules.”

The long-face man is also stunned, and then sighing: “Damn, I’ve known more today. I’ll always keep one eye on and pay more attention when I go out.”

The truck is driving away all the way to HaiCity, and my heart is getting steadier and steadier.

There is a time limit for the truck to go downtown, so I ask them to park by the side of the road, and then I wake Dorra up, pull her out of the truck. The girl is grabing my back cloth and her eyes are dodging.
