Chapter 217 Old Man Wang's Ideal

"Although old man Wang started to practice two-finger meditation again, after all, without the teacher's guidance, he was holding a piece of tofu all day long, and he felt that he hadn't made any obvious progress."

"He began to suspect that the training method taught by the pickpocket was not correct. Maybe tofu has nothing to do with practicing two-finger meditation."

"He needs to talk to other fellow pickpockets and see how other people are practicing pickpocketing."

"However, no one is willing to communicate these things with him. Whenever he asks how other pickpockets practice pickpocketing techniques, those guys always laugh without saying a word, or talk about him."

"Everyone is cherishing themselves, and everyone is unwilling to reveal their ability to eat. After all, we are not related to each other. Who is interested in showing you a way to survive?"

"Where are there so many good people in this world?"

"Old man Wang can only find a way to get close to those colleagues, invite those outstanding pickpockets to have a meal alone, drink a drink, and then chat about things at work intentionally or unintentionally."

"Kung fu pays off. Old man Wang's sincerity finally moved an old pickpocket. After hearing his learning process, the old pickpocket burst out laughing. No wonder that kid's leg was broken. If you practice well This kung fu of clamping tofu is at best a third-rate thieves, and sooner or later he will have his legs broken."

"Why? Don't use your brain to think about it. That tofu is dead. The goods you want to buy are all on living people. You use a method of clamping dead objects to clamp things on a living person. Why? Maybe it won't be discovered? How can it not be broken?"

"Old man Wang woke up like a dream, suddenly realized, he asked eagerly, what should I do?"

"The old pickpocket said, you need to find a living creature to practice your kung fu."

"What living thing?"

"Loach."

"The old pickpocket finally gave old man Wang his final answer. This answer was like a slap in the face, and instantly illuminated old man Wang's life. He felt that his future was bright, and he was immediately grateful to the old pickpocket."

"That's right, loach is slippery. If you can even catch a loach, what else in this world can't be caught?"

"This is the real master's stunt."

"In this way, old man Wang started the arduous training of making loach. One month passed, two months passed, and three months passed... This is better than making tofu. At least he doesn't have to eat tofu every day, and he doesn't have to eat it every day. Spend money to buy loach, one loach is enough for him to hold for ten days and half a month."

"However, half a year later, old man Wang still can't hold the loach. He feels that his two fingers are about to be useless."

"He wondered if he had gone astray, was that old pickpocket fooling himself? Is the training method of pinching loach real? Is it really possible for a human to pinch a live loach with two fingers? "

"He decided to ask the old pickpocket again."

"At that time, it was just after the pickpocket war, that is, the battles between the local pickpockets and the group of out-of-town pickpockets at the train station. The end of the war, I seem to have mentioned just now, was that the group of out-of-town pickpockets all got disabled. Witnesses, I returned to my hometown to dry the raisins in desperation."

"The local pickpockets have won a big victory, and naturally they will start to enjoy the fruits of victory, so those old pickpockets gathered around the train station and launched a grand carnival-or pickpocketing, the carnival activities of pickpockets can only be these things gone."

"As a participant in the war, the old pickpocket naturally had to join in the carnival at the train station. If old man Wang wanted to find him, he could only search slowly in the sea of ​​people at the train station."

"At that time, the reform and opening up had just started, and old man Wang's hometown was a large commercial city, and there were quite a lot of people at the train station, most of whom were migrant workers from other places."

"If you want to talk about a city with so many floating population, how can old man Wang do some business without making money? Does he have to learn pickpocketing?"

"The main thing is one word, lazy."

"There is a barber shop downstairs in old man Wang's house. The barber is an old man. He has always wanted to take in an apprentice and pass on his shaving skills."

"Old man Wang also went there to shave his head. The barber also mentioned his wish intentionally or unintentionally in his conversation. He wanted to find an apprentice, and then he learned his own craft and inherited his own barber shop. By the way, he also has a daughter. , although she is not suitable for learning to cut hair, she can still marry someone who learns to cut hair..."

"Where can I find this kind of good thing that people and money can get together now? If the single dogs know about it, there will inevitably be a few lives left at the door of this barber shop, and blood will flow like a river every day."

"But old man Wang was not happy. It may be that he was young at the time and didn't know the importance of women to life, or he felt that ordinary work such as haircutting was too slow to pay, and the work was tiring. It was not as good as being a beggar—— —The beggar only needs to sit or lie down to get a meal.”

"Of course, begging is a lucrative industry, and there is no way to compare it with many industries. However, old man Wang has passed the golden age of begging. He is a decent young man now, and he will feel very shameless if he does this again."

"What he wants now is to learn a trade, a trade that can make easy money, such as pickpocketing."

"The income of thieves was really good at that time, and even in the following decades, it was a huge profit industry. This situation continued until the era of electronic payment, and then was severely slapped in the face by mobile payment..."

"Old man Wang probably had two ideals at the time. One was to learn the art of pickpocketing well, which was equivalent to having a solid job. He would never worry about food and money for the rest of his life—of course, he couldn't predict the future either. There is also such a thing as electronic payment.”

"His second ideal is to learn martial arts."

"This ideal is related to his life experience when he was a child. After all, an orphan who wants to survive in society will inevitably be beaten by society. So in that era, being able to beat was also a skill, and it was a very important thing among young people. Popularity."

"His ideal reached its peak after the movie Shaolin Temple, which became popular all over the country, was released. He fantasized all day long that he could beat the enemy incontinently like that bald man, and kowtow My own father..."

"It's a little bit farther away, and I'm going back to the old man Wang looking for the old pickpocket at the train station. He was looking for it among the endless stream of people, and he was even looking for it in the restaurants and hotels around the train station. It was so hot that he was looking for it. sweat."

"If he can learn other crafts with as much enthusiasm as learning pickpocketing, he might be a master of a certain industry by now."

"After searching back and forth several times, he finally met the old pickpocket group at the train station."
