Chapter 1121

For this trip to the county seat, Wang An's four-wheeled tractor was not only loaded with 3,000 jin of wheat, but also 3,000 jin of rice, and Wang An had also brought along the musk deer scent pouch.

There was no helping it; although musk was a valuable item, it was truly unfriendly to both pregnant women and the livestock at home that were carrying young.

Besides, in Wang An's hands, other than being a treasure to keep and wait for its value to rise, it could be said to have no use at all; it was better to hand it over to Fang Xiue now, let her process it into medicine, and thereby create even more wealth.

6,000 jin of grain, which was a full 3 tons in weight, was definitely no small burden for a four-wheeled tractor of this era, so Wang An drove quite slowly the entire way, and by the time he arrived at the county seat, it was already more than two hours later.

Arriving at the processing plant, the owner, who was sitting there smoking, saw Wang An arrive with a cart of grain, and his eyes immediately crinkled into slits; mainly because, aside from the grain station's business, Wang An could definitely be called a major client for the processing plant.

Once Wang An got off the tractor, he saw the processing plant owner hurriedly stand up to greet him:

"Brother is here, sit, sit, come have a smoke, hehehe."

As he spoke, the processing plant owner handed Wang An a cigarette and even used a lighter to light it for him.

As soon as Wang An saw the lighter in the owner's hand, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, because the lighter in the processing plant owner's hand was clearly from the batch of goods that Qiao Xiaohu had brought back earlier.

It had to be said, the things Qiao Xiaohu had brought in were already gradually occupying the market in DJ County.

After chatting briefly about nothing in particular, Wang An gestured toward the four-wheeled tractor with his right hand and got straight to the point:

"Old brother, a total of 3,000 jin of rice and 3,000 jin of wheat, how long will it take to finish processing?"

The owner glanced in the direction of the machines and said thoughtfully:

"It's almost 9 o'clock now, so it'll have to be after noon; wheat is a bit more troublesome, it has to be sifted several times."

Wang An nodded and continued to ask:

"How much will it cost, old brother?"

The processing plant owner thought for a moment and said:

"Rice is one mao per hundred jin, so 3 yuan total; wheat is two mao per jin. How about you give me 8.5 yuan for all this grain, brother? Is that okay?"

Wang An smiled and nodded, saying:

"Hahaha, if it should be 9 yuan, then it's 9 yuan, why settle for 8.5? I reckon the scale might be a bit off, I can't let you suffer a loss, hahaha."

The owner also laughed and said:

"Alright, brother is a man of principle."

Subsequently, the owner called for the workers to weigh the grain. After the weighing was finished, it was indeed as Wang An had said: the rice was 3,173 jin and the wheat was 3,125 jin, all coming in a bit higher.

Immediately after, the workers began processing the grain, while Wang An, after chatting with the owner for a while, started wandering around the vicinity of the processing plant.

Just as Wang An was strolling to an unnamed street, he heard someone shout loudly:

"Stop, you damn bastard, stop right there!"

"Stop, if you don't stop, I'm going to open fire!"

Wang An suddenly felt the voice was a bit familiar, so he turned his head to look in the direction the voice was coming from.

Soon, two figures, one in front and one behind, came into Wang An's view.

And this familiar voice belonged to none other than Comrade Shi Suo, the security guard who had learned the Eighteen Capture Techniques and had fought to the death to win against the LQ County police during the competition.

At this moment, Shi Suo was chasing after a person with one of his colleagues, and the person running in front was holding a knife in his hand.

From time to time, the two of them would shout for the person to stop, but the person didn't even look back, just kept running forward with all his might, running so fast, *whoosh, whoosh*.

If Wang An hadn't guessed wrong, Shi Suo and his colleague were in the middle of a scene of police chasing a thief, or perhaps police chasing a criminal.

In any case, based on Wang An's understanding of Shi Suo, he would absolutely not chase after a knife-wielding person for no reason.

It wasn't until the person in front was about to run right up to Wang An that Wang An suddenly realized that he was also a damn security guard; he couldn't just keep watching like this.

If he kept watching like this, wouldn't that be a bit of a dereliction of duty?

And so, Wang An pretended to be a passerby, walked forward casually, and then, just as the person was about to run past him, Wang An sneakily stuck his leg out.

Wang An didn't know how fast the person was running, but after he stuck his leg out, the person tripped over it instantly, and then he saw the person fly into the air, and with a loud "thud," the kid fell heavily to the ground.

He didn't know why, but watching the kid take the fall, Wang An felt the pain for him.

It was clear that the kid had taken a serious hit, because after struggling on the ground for a while, he stood up and continued to run forward with a stagger, but the knife he had been holding in his hand the whole time was never let go, always gripped tightly.

But with this delay, Shi Suo and his colleague arrived. Seeing that things were looking bad, the kid turned around and swung the knife at Shi Suo and his colleague, retreating while swinging, his face full of ferocity as he shouted excitedly:

"Get lost, fuck your mother, I'll kill you sooner or later!"

One had to know that Shi Suo was able to stand out from all the security guards in DJ County to participate in the competition; he was a serious contender with real skills.

So, even though the kid had a short knife, Shi Suo didn't take it seriously at all, continuing to press forward step by step toward the kid, shouting sternly:

"You little brat, you've even learned to play with knives? Put the knife down for me, don't make me beat you up!"

A few seconds later, seeing the kid's stubborn attitude, Shi Suo lost his patience, quickly lunged forward, and with a single move of the Green Dragon Probing Claw, disarmed the kid.

Immediately following with an Elbow Interception move, he twisted the kid's arm behind his back, his right hand firmly pinning the kid's neck.

And Shi Suo's colleague immediately took out the silver bracelets and cuffed the kid.

Only then did Shi Suo turn his head to Wang An with a face full of joy and say:

"Brother, what brings you here? How about I treat you to a drink at noon? Hahaha, I've been wanting to find you to say thank you; I went to the County Public Security Bureau several times, but they all said you don't usually go to the office. Today, I finally bumped into you, hahahaha!"

It was clear that Shi Suo was extremely happy at this moment, as if seeing Wang An was a very lucky thing.

This scene, on the contrary, left Wang An confused, and he asked with a smile:

"What's going on, Brother Shi? Thank me for what? What is there to thank me for?"

Shi Suo said with a very sincere expression:

"Of course I have to thank you! If it weren't for you turning the tide before the competition, how could we have won? If we hadn't won, how could I have been made a permanent employee now? Hahaha, I must thank you, I must thank you!"
