Chapter 43: Cigarettes and Pots
The couple bought a lot of things and came back, but saw their father-in-law worrying.
The news he found out was very bad.
First, the train station arrived, and there were wanted orders from their daughters and son-in-law everywhere. That was all, the whole family knew that this would be the case.
And there were open and secret robberies everywhere along the way.
At this time, the people who were walking outside the pass were covered with the savings accumulated by the Northeast.
The Japanese army raised the pass through various tolls and pass through the customs at a high rate, and the traitors took the taxi for a lot of money. Weapons and ammunition, gold and silver were used as military supplies, and they were not allowed to be carried in large quantities. The train station had to be inspected, and after getting on the train, they would check at any time. After the inspection, there was no place to make any decision.
The Japanese army ignored the situation, which was a world where people were cheating and stealing such despicable and bearded.
Everyone who returns to the inner city says: There is no one who can’t lose money along the way.
When the couple heard this, they knew that they had to find another way to go to Dalian.
My father-in-law decided to stay for a few days first, go to banks such as Citigroup, France, and HSBC in the United States to find ways to exchange gold for foreign currency such as the British pound dollar approved by Shanghai. In this way, when taking the train, you will not be afraid of open inspections.
Foreign banks also follow Chinese customs and only open their doors after the fifth day of the New Year.
I've been idle these two days.
It is easy to attract shopping, so the couple learned makeup with their grandma. Grandma said that this was the only thing that no one cared about when she was a girl, except for learning to be a female celebrity at home. Only a few girls learned makeup. Later, the family also hired a female husband outside to teach her. They often played this trick, and they treated it with pink movies for a few times, and they seemed to have changed.
It was originally a girl's game, but when she got older, her grandchildren would have great use.
Zhao Jingzhi tried Wang Hong and finished drawing. Everyone looked in the mirror. The skills were a little worse, but they also became another person.
Wang Hong was going to use this makeup to go to the train station to take a look. Zhao Jingzhi saw that his hair was too long, so he asked him to get a haircut first. But the second brother who came to see the fun smiled and told her that people in Northeast China would not get a haircut in the first lunar month and would take another haircut after the second lunar month.
He had his face and clothes packed, and then he had to bring something. Wang Hong looked at the weapons of the two of them and suddenly felt something was wrong. The dagger should be unique to several people in the martial arts world. If he could, he would not use it.
Seeing that he didn't take anything, Zhao Jingzhi asked why, and stuffed her little pistol over.
Wang Hong shook his head and when he fired the gun, the two of them had to run away again, and even the Zhao family could not stay.
Suddenly he thought of a small tobacco pipe pot shop on the way out on the back street. There were several red copper-made tobacco pipe pots in the store. When he went out, he got a half-meter long one there. It was a short stick a little thin, but everything else was fine.
In fact, he really wanted to buy the longest one, which was thick and heavy, but he was afraid it was too silly.
Men and women in Northeast China smoke pipes.
In the early days of immigrating to the Northeast, there was little population, so smoking could indeed avoid the bites of mosquitoes.
It is said that the rich smell of pipe oil from the tobacco pipe pot and the smoke rod is even a worm (snake) who is confused when they see it. If you put some oil on it, you can even kill them.
The cigarette pipes that men smoke are relatively short, while those used by young people are only five or six inches longer. The older ones are a little longer. There is also a cigarette purse on the cigarette rod. Don't put it on the waist when not in use, mainly not hindering work.
The woman smokes a pipe rod that is more than half a meter long. When she smokes, she often sits cross-legged on the kang in the house, chatting around the cigarette basket while holding a big pipe to take a few sips.
There are indeed people fighting with cigarette puddles. But it is too much for a weapon to use. After all, it is an ordinary daily necessity. Unless it is specially made for one meter long and larger and more heavy, it is a bit embarrassing to carry it around every day.

Wang Hong entered the square of the railway station, and what came towards him was the vast crowd of people and the noisy sound.
Men, women, old and young, big bags, and behind, Wang Hong was taken in by the crowd without realizing it.
Among the crowds, he looked at the ticket gate at the station like everyone else. Others were looking at how far they could buy tickets and how long they could get on the train. He was looking at the Japanese soldiers and traitors standing at the ticket gate.
He was watching and suddenly felt someone touching his pocket. He wiped it over and there was a child next to him yelling.
Wang Hong didn't care and continued to move forward, and he wanted to observe whether there was any possibility of getting through it.
Someone touched his pocket again.
This time, Wang Hong calmed down and used some force on his hands. With a "ah", a thin man fell behind him.
Wang Hongxiang didn't see it, so he continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, there was a riot in front of me, and someone was shouting: "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
A man ran towards Wang Hong, followed by the stolen person. The big cigarette puff pot in Wang Hong's hand was picked up intentionally or unintentionally. When the man was about to make a mistake, he pointed at the man's waist. The man was running, but he fell to the ground without any warning.
The stolen person rushed over and snatched a small bag from the thief, and ran back without a sound.
The thief stood up, looked at Wang Hong's eyes, patted the ashes on his body, and left silently.
When Wang Hong saw the Japanese army and traitors at the ticket gate, he saw clearly his face one by one, and went to check the package again. After a while, he estimated that according to this kind of inspection, it would be too easy for the car to go.
Then he retreated from the crowd.
When he was about to walk out of the crowd, he felt someone approaching slanted, so he quickly walked out of the crowd, but was stopped by several people.
The person in front seemed to be talking to him, but the person close behind suddenly approached and raised his hand.
Wang Hong flashed and saw the knife in the man's hand flashing by, knowing that it was the thief who was taking revenge.
I thought to myself, it’s just right to buy this copper cigarette pot.
He didn't hold back at all, and thrust his hands and arms at these people, using the cold and cramped and broken bones. He destroyed the thief who surrounded him in just a few strokes. This injury will also cause thorns and lumps when he is cured. These people will not think about being thieves in the future.
Thieves, thieves, pickpockets, these are the names of these thieves by Chinese people. They are called Lao Rong in the world, also known as the Three Hands, gentleman on the beam, and touching Baoer.
Stealing and stealing are not the same thing. The thief is open-minded and the thief is stolen, the rat is stolen and the dog is stolen. The thief despises the thief and dare not see the light. The thief despises the thief without technical content.
These people dared to take revenge and acted, and they were just gangsters, which was close to the thief's behavior.
Unfortunately, they didn't open their eyes and forgot the saying "three no stealing, five no robbery, no contact with the people in the martial arts world."
This means that women who do not steal high-ranking officials and nobles, do not steal lonely widows, do not steal children, do not steal elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and young, and do not touch people who walk in the world. For example, when you meet Wang Hong, you have to be beaten up and have to admit that you are unlucky.
The stealing industry can be traced back to ancient times.
People in the world only know what kind of tricks are empty-handed and what kind of thieves are, that is just a legend. In reality, the status of thieves is only higher than that of flower-picking thieves, and this is still the case in prisons in later generations.
As the saying goes, "Entering someone at night is not a traitor or a thief." In ancient times, killing thieves at night was a legitimate act. There were similar provisions on the ancient Babylonian law, ancient Hebrew law, ancient Roman law, and ancient Chinese law. Mozi directly said: "Killing thieves is not a killer." Therefore, from Zhou to the Republic of China, there was a clear law in all dynasties: Entering the household at night, killing them. Even if the public arrested people, they could only surround them at night and take action during the day.
Most of the inheritance of this industry are kidnapped by the masters of poor families in their early 10s, teaching them the methods and various experiences of stealing. A few are those who have practiced secret door kung fu and embarked on this path. All famous ones are often these secret door thieves who can fly over the eaves and walls.
Thieves cannot learn secret kung fu. When they go into the room, they mainly practice their hands and use ropes and bamboo poles to help themselves. When touching their pockets, they practice techniques and eyes.
A few years ago, in Peking, Guancha saw a man who was eating walnuts with his hands in a teahouse and immediately arrested him. Someone asked why? Guanchacha said: He is so strong that he is not a practitioner of eagle claw skills. He is all thieves who have entered the house. He was brought to the bureau and in the first instance, he concluded more than a dozen thieves.
Those who touch their pockets need to practice their techniques and eyes.
Technique: Practice movements quickly and accurately. Rely on the coordination of body techniques to achieve the speed of techniques. You must practice by picking beans, bounce buttons, touching copper plates in rice jars, and putting items in boiling oil pans.
Eye method: The main thing is how the coach can find the parts that hide money at a glance.
The secret trick of using your fingers to steal money and things directly from your pocket or carry them. The technique is to use exploring, opening, snucking, and clamping, which is characterized by lightness and briskness.
Use coins or blades to cut the mouth and steal it, which is called "open mouth" or "shaving the beard". You need to find various cloth heads, tie them around, and then cut them down with one knife, and the next layer is completely open, and the next layer is not damaged. Such people use a knife to quickly cut the other person's pocket, bag, and other parts where money is placed, like surgery.
Those who use tweezers are said to have ridiculed them when they see them before the 1980s, and they are the least technically insignificant.
Thieves also have thieves’ ways.
In the 1930s, a thief stole money from a woman who came to Tianjin to treat her children to Langfang, which almost died. As a result, the thief was broken by his peers because of breaking the rules. He even published a newspaper at that time, and the underworld and white doctrine praised this move.
This industry is keeping pace with the times, and various methods have been improving and renovating. Until the 1980s, various thieves held a national competition between the north and the south to show off their skills and improve their level.
Until the law protects them, the industry has no threshold.
Wang Hong dealt with these thieves and quickly walked out of the crowd.
But not far from my residence, I was stopped by an old lady.
