Chapter 464: Towards a moderately prosperous society!!
"How many times have I told you that I didn't take it, I didn't take it! Why don't you believe me?"
On the training ground, he was running forward like a crow, while explaining loudly to Li Xiang behind him.
Li Xiang chased after him closely and started to curse, "Stop talking nonsense! No one else came into my office at noon except you! If it wasn't you who took it, who else could it be?"
"It's not like I don't have money! Do I have to take your 10 dollars?" The crow still argued cunningly.
Li Xiang shouted angrily, "Is that an ordinary 10 yuan? That's a collection! A collection! Do you understand?"
"What the hell is this collection? I don't understand what you're barking about!"
"Then stop talking! Wait for death!!"
The two of them were one in front and one behind, one chasing and one fleeing, like the wind blowing across the training ground and blowing towards the distance.
Everyone on the training ground had long been accustomed to their noisy behavior and didn't care at all.
But when they heard the entire conversation between the two, those who knew the whole story were stunned for a moment.
It was not until the two men disappeared from everyone's sight that they came to their senses, looked at the direction they left, and each of them had their own little thoughts.
After a day of training, Warehouse No. 3, which was rarely disturbed in the past, was unexpectedly lively today.
From time to time, someone would knock on the door and come to talk to Crow alone.
"Tell me the truth, brother. Are you holding the stingy guy's feathers?"
3 Outside the warehouse, facing the question of the familiar man in front of him, Crow pretended to think for a while, shook his head and denied: "I don't know what the miser's feathers are, you got the wrong person, brother..."
Seeing his hesitation, the visitor remained calm on the surface, but was actually certain of his own ideas.
He walked through the door, glanced at Li Xiang, whose face was still gloomy, and hugged Wu Ya. After walking to an empty corner, he smiled and said softly:
"We are not strangers. Why are you hiding things from me? Don't you consider me your brother?"
Hearing this, a look of guilt instantly appeared on Crow's face.
He pursed his lips and a trace of struggle flashed across his face. After a moment, he spoke out: "Since you said so, brother, if I keep it from you, it would seem that I am not kind enough..."
After a pause, he continued, "The signed 10-dollar photo frame is indeed in my hand..."
"Really?" A hint of joy flashed in the visitor's eyes.
"It's true." Crow nodded again in acknowledgement.
Seeing him admit it, the visitor was ecstatic, but he remained calm on the surface.
He looked at the crow beside him, thinking hard. After a moment, he whispered to the crow:
"Brother Crow, do you know that your current situation is very dangerous..."
"What do you mean?" Crow asked, pretending to be confused.
The man patted Crow on the shoulder, looked at him and said in a tone that was for your own good:
"Since the thing is in your hand, and you are so close to that dog... ahem... so close to Captain Li, if he finds you, won't you be doomed?"
The crow didn't take it seriously and said, "It's okay. As long as I hide the things and don't let him find them, he won't have an excuse to cause trouble for me!"
"But it's not a good idea to continue like this...if you get discovered, you'll be screwed, right?" the man advised again.
It seemed that the other party had some truth in what he said, and the crow couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There is a play!
Seeing this scene, the visitor's eyes lit up and he quickly added fuel to the fire.
"How about this, Brother Crow...you give it to me and I'll give you 20 bucks in exchange?
This way you can not only get rid of the risk, but also make a small profit, and I can also get an item I like. The two of us..."
As he spoke, he smiled and raised two fingers, shaking them in front of the crow, "Win-win...!"
“This isn’t a good idea…” Crow looked at him hesitantly and said, “Let’s not talk about what to do if he finds out.
For example, our private transaction is against the regulations, right? "
Seeing that the crow was about to give in, the man patted his chest and assured him:
"Don't worry, after I get the stuff, I won't show it off unless I change jobs or leave Old A!"
As if moved by his words, Crow pondered for a long time. Although there was still a strong reluctance in his expression, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, since you want it so much, as your brother, I will help you!"
After hearing this, the visitor could no longer contain his excitement and laughed happily.
But before he could say anything, the crow continued: "But you have to write me a note..."
"What note?" the visitor asked puzzledly.
The crow explained: "Our behavior is against the rules... In order to avoid subsequent trouble, you have to write me a certificate stating that you voluntarily gave me 20 yuan...
In this way, we are not conducting a private financial transaction..."
After hearing what he said, the visitor thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed: "No problem, let's do it!"
"Then wait for me..."
Seeing that he agreed, Crow said hello and walked back to Warehouse No. 3 alone.
When he came out again that day, he took out a pen and paper and handed them to the people waiting outside.
The man took it without saying anything. He wrote him a note expressing his voluntary donation, signed his name on it, and handed it to him along with the 20 yuan.
Crow stuffed the money into his pocket without even looking at it, then took out a photo frame signed with Yuan Lang's name and containing a crumpled 10-yuan bill from under his clothes.
"Remember, don't show it off! Otherwise, if Li Xiang finds out, we'll both be in trouble!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely be careful!"
The visitor's eyes were fixed on the photo frame. After responding casually with a remark, he snatched the photo frame and admired the work titled "Iron Feather" with great joy.
Looking at the 'familiar' handwriting in the lower right corner of the photo frame, combined with the chase between Li Xiang and the crow in the afternoon, he was convinced that the item in his hand was the real thing!
"Okay, brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first!"
After getting the things, he no longer wanted to stay. After saying hello to Crow, he stuffed the photo frame into his clothes and trotted away towards the dormitory of the third squadron.
Watching his back as he left, Crow in the shadow of the corner reached out and touched the note and 20 yuan in his pocket, and a smug smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth...
On this ordinary night, some people in the dormitory of the Third Squadron seemed particularly excited.
The lights-out whistle had been blown for a long time, but they were lying in bed and still had no intention of going to sleep.
Not only them, there were also two people in Warehouse No. 3 who did not sleep all night.
They hid in the dim office, under the light of the desk lamp, looking at the neatly arranged stack of 20-dollar bills and a stack of donation notes in front of them, grinning and laughing silently.
