Chapter 431
When Wang An heard the word "sprayer," he was stunned, then frowned and subconsciously asked:
"What's wrong? Who are you going to blow away?"
Sprayer, actually means gun, it's just a piece of underworld slang from the early days.
Besides calling a gun a sprayer, there are also names like "crutch," "pole," "flag," etc.
Of course, besides guns, other things in underworld slang have also been renamed.
For example, bullets are called "flying things" or "firewood," knives are called "green things," clothes are called "leaves," fur coats are called "fur leaves," pants are called "evil forks," etc.
It's just that with the passage of time, this slang was also promoted to the common people; gradually, it became one thing with many names.
But as long as they are locals, they can basically understand it, so it doesn't matter what you call it.
Qiao Xiaohu heard Wang An's question and said embarrassedly:
"I just want to get one to carry on me, to scare those who don't have eyes."
Qiao Xiaohu's words immediately made Wang An think of the time Qiao Xiaohu was beaten; thinking of Qiao Xiaohu being beaten, he naturally thought of Duan Laohu.
And so Wang An asked Qiao Xiaohu:
"By the way, Xiaohu, how is that Duan Laohu now?"
Qiao Xiaohu said plainly:
"Duan Laohu had too many enemies before, and people came to his door every day; a while ago, he was discovered hanging from the roof beam."
Although Wang An had expected it, hearing that Duan Laohu was dead now made him feel completely relieved.
No matter what, Duan Laohu was barely a character before; even the traitor Qin Hui had a few good friends, so Duan Laohu should have some too.
If Wang An was targeted by Duan Laohu's people, that would really be a troublesome thing.
Immediately after, Qiao Xiaohu continued: "Big Brother, you said Duan Laohu couldn't even stand up, how did he hang himself? I heard the hemp rope was new; where did he get it?"
When Wang An heard this, he instantly understood the key; this Duan Laohu was actually murdered, not suicide.
However, Wang An laughed: "Love how he hangs himself, he's dead, that's fine, save him from harming people."
Qiao Xiaohu looked blankly at Wang An but didn't speak.
After a while, Qiao Xiaohu didn't dwell on this question but continued to ask Wang An:
"Big Brother, what about the sprayer?"
Wang An laughed: "You just want a handgun, right?"
Seeing Wang An's expression, Qiao Xiaohu was instantly happy, nodding while saying:
"Right, right, right, if it's a long gun, the supply and marketing cooperative has them for sale, but that thing is too big, it's not comfortable to carry."
Wang An said casually: "Getting one is no problem, but this thing isn't cheap, be prepared in your heart."
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaohu said very embarrassedly: "Big Brother, I only have less than 300 yuan now, can I manage with this money?"
When Wang An heard this, his inner shock was quite significant; if you count the 100 yuan from the dhole carcasses, this Qiao Xiaohu had already saved nearly 400 yuan.
You have to know that 400 yuan in this era is a solid huge sum of money.
And in this period of Wang An's past life, let alone 400, having 4 yuan was enough to be arrogant for two days.
One has to say, Qiao Xiaohu being able to do this is truly very intentional.
Suddenly, Wang An thought of the two box cannons that had been idle at home for a long time; these two useless things were simply chicken ribs to Wang An.
And so, Wang An said: "With our relationship, I can't let you spend a high price; box cannon 100, large 54 is 300; it's a deal, they are all old."
In fact, this price looks very expensive, but it's actually already very cheap.
Guns in this era, although very rampant, are after all big killing weapons, so the price has never been low.
Especially handguns; because handguns are convenient to carry, although the superiors didn't explicitly forbid them, they were never sold publicly.
You can buy long guns anywhere, but you can only find connections to buy handguns, and the price has never been low.
So the price Wang An gave Qiao Xiaohu was considered half-sold and half-given; the main thing was that there were too many guns at home, and they were really of no use.
Qiao Xiaohu heard this and was instantly happy: "Thank you first, Big Brother, hehehe... Box cannon is fine, box cannon is enough, then I'll give you the money now."
As he spoke, Qiao Xiaohu was about to reach into his pocket for money.
Wang An pressed Qiao Xiaohu's hand and said: "Money is fine, wait until I bring the gun over, then we'll talk."
Qiao Xiaohu heard this and didn't insist, then took out the hand that had already reached into his pocket.
As the two talked, they arrived at Qiao Xiaohu's house.
However, Wang An didn't enter the house; he thought for a moment, took out 100 yuan and handed it to Qiao Xiaohu, and at the same time, Wang An said to Qiao Xiaohu: "Being able to sell at a high price this time, you must be credited; this is the benefit fee for you."
Wang An believed that this was what Qiao Xiaohu deserved; putting aside the Jia Renlu matter, the fact that things could sell at a high price was indeed because of Qiao Xiaohu.
If it weren't for Qiao Xiaohu's bridge-building, the things on Wang An's sled would never have sold for so much money.
As for the Jia Renlu matter, it couldn't be blamed on Qiao Xiaohu, because Qiao Xiaohu didn't know the truth beforehand.
And when Qiao Xiaohu saw the money Wang An handed over, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, seeing Wang An's eyes about to stand up, Qiao Xiaohu obediently accepted it, but his mouth instinctively said with a grin:
"Big Brother, you helping me like this every day is really better than my parents treating me; you are simply my reborn parents; why don't I change my name to Wang Xiaohu, and then you will be my..."
When Wang An heard this, he immediately interrupted without a good tone: "Get the hell out of here, I damn don't want a son as big as you."
Qiao Xiaohu wasn't angry when scolded and continued to grin: "Big Brother, why are you unwilling to be a generation older?"
Wang An rolled his eyes at Qiao Xiaohu and said again without a good tone: "What's the use of having a son like you?"
As Wang An spoke, he drove the sled and left; however, immediately after, Wang An said to Qiao Xiaohu:
"You pay attention to yourself these two days, I'll handle him soon."
Qiao Xiaohu put away his smile and said: "Yeah, I know, Big Brother."
Wang An looked at his watch and felt that at this time, Wu Dong shouldn't be at work yet, so he drove the sled straight to Wu Dong's house.
Dealing with Jia Renlu and his group, fighting alone is definitely the most stupid way.
Even if Wang An has the confidence to eliminate them all, Wang An wouldn't risk his life to do it himself.
Besides, for the sake of merit, Wu Dong would definitely be very interested in this kind of thing, why not do it?
Soon, Wang An drove the sled to Wu Dong's courtyard.
And what Wang An didn't expect was that Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian were also at Wu Dong's place and hadn't returned to Bingcheng.
Logically speaking, even if these two weren't in Bingcheng, they should be on their way back to Bingcheng!
