South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Young man, today I will let you see why your brother Mu is your brother Mu, and also let you see one of your brother Mu's unique skills. Let's go!" Yuan Mu smiled mysteriously, and then took the lead and walked forward.

"What? You're so mysterious. I don't believe you can find that watch." Muttering to himself, Wang Xin followed.

Yuan Mu planned the position, which was roughly no more than a hundred meters in front and behind the tree. The trains of that era could only travel at most 50 kilometers per hour. Including the time he spent observing, it was only about a hundred meters in front and behind.

Then Yuan Mu took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and handed one of them to Wang Xin.

"What are you doing?" Wang Xin was confused.

"I just say that you don't think before you do things. That watch has been taken by Hou Sanjin. If you don't wear gloves, won't you destroy your fingerprints?" Yuan Mu said unhappily.

"Oh! That's what's going on!" Wang Xin suddenly realized.

"Okay, do you see this tree?" Yuan Mu pointed at a big tree in front of the two of them.

"Ah, I see." Wang Xin nodded.

"It's this big tree. Let's follow this railway track. You go east and I go west. We will find the watch within 500 meters. Do you believe it?" Yuan Mu said while putting on gloves.

In fact, one hundred meters is about the same. As I said, Yuan Mu is a person who likes to be steady, so he exaggerated it a bit.

"Come on, can you be that amazing?" Wang Xin didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not, we'll know when we leave." Yuan Mu said, and took the lead to walk west.

"I just don't believe it. I'm determined to drink all your wine." Wang Xin looked at Yuan Mu's back, then started walking along the railway track to the east.

Originally, Wang Xin didn't care and didn't look for it carefully, but when he had walked less than a hundred meters, he suddenly felt something, so he backed away.

Now he could see clearly that there was a shiny object right under the rails and sleepers. It was definitely a watch!

Wang Xin's eyes widened and he was about to reach out to take it, but then he suddenly reacted, took out the white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then carefully picked up the watch and looked at the brand on it. It was a Shanghai brand watch!

Wang Xin was stunned, completely stunned. Yuan Mu really got it right. Was this a coincidence or was this his real ability?

But I can’t care about so many things now, I should tell Yuan Mu the news first.

"Hey! Brother Mu! Brother Mu!" Wang Xin ran towards Yuan Mu.

"Have you found it?" Yuan Mu walked towards Wang Xin with a smile.

"How do you know?" Wang Xin was stunned.

"I've walked more than a hundred meters here and still can't find it. It must be over there." Yuan Mu rolled his eyes.

"Oh, Brother Mu, you are amazing. How did you know that?" Wang Xin said with admiration.

"Young man, you still have a lot to learn!" Yuan Mu patted him on the shoulder, then took the watch from his hand and walked towards Ma Kui and Hou Sanjin.

Wang Xin looked at Yuan Mu's back and pursed his lips. Is this thing so magical?

Ma Kui watched Yuan Mu and Wang Xin coming over, and looked at Hou Sanjin who was standing next to him with a depressed look on his face.

"When we get back, we will extract the fingerprints from this watch. If your fingerprints are not there, I will apologize to you in person."

"Uncle Ma! Brother Ma! Grandpa Ma! Please let me go! My wife is about to give birth! I will never steal again! How about this, when my child is born, he will have your surname, okay?" Hou Sanjin was almost crying and pleaded with Ma Kui.

"Oh, Hou Sanjin, let's see how you can deny your debt this time." Yuan Mu walked up to Hou Sanjin with the watch in his hand and said with a smile.

"Really, please let me go today!" Hou Sanjin kept begging for mercy.

"Let you go? I'll let you go today, but what about tomorrow?" Yuan Mu said unhappily.

"Then please let me go tomorrow too." Hou Sanjin muttered.

"Hey! What are you thinking about? Go back and tell me the truth!" Wang Xin slapped him on the back of the head.

"You said I would let you go today and tomorrow, but you think I'm the one who lets you go?" Yuan Mu glared at him fiercely.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After get off work, Yuan Mu and Ma Kui returned the watches to Tang Xingguo and Li Yuxiu, and they were very happy.

As for where Wang Xin went, he went home to prepare wine and food. He lost to Yuan Mu today.

Ma Kui's home.

Yuan Mu, Wang Xin, Ma Kui, Wang Sufang and Ma Yan were sitting around the table. There were a lot of delicious food on the table, including both cooked food and meat dishes.

"Wang Xin, have you become rich or are you not going to celebrate?" Ma Yan asked in surprise, looking at the table full of dishes.

"Well, I lost the bet to Brother Mu today, and I did this on purpose." Wang Xin chuckled.

Yuan Mu looked at him and guessed what Wang Xin meant. He just wanted to learn from him, but he didn't say it clearly.

"Yan Zi, how have your review been going recently? Do you have confidence in the college entrance examination this time?" Yuan Mu said to Ma Yan.

Ma Yan's face fell when this was mentioned. Since Ma Kui came back more than two years earlier, she did not go to work in the grocery store. As for studying, he knew Ma Yan, but Ma Yan did not know him.

Now Ma Yan still focuses on studying.

"Don't mention it. When I read that book, it was like reading a book from heaven. I couldn't understand it at all!"

"Haven't you read all the review materials I prepared for you? I'm still helping you review!" Wang Xin said.

"Come on, our levels are almost the same, and you still want to teach me?" Ma Yan rolled her eyes at Wang Xin.

"Yan Zi, just learn slowly. There is no rush now. You are not even eighteen yet and you have plenty of time. If you really can't make it, you can go to night school." Ma Kui interrupted.

"Ah? Still in school? How about I go to work in a grocery store?" Ma Yan's face was full of reluctance.

"No!" Upon hearing this, Ma Kui immediately denied it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Keep your voice down!" Wang Sufang was frightened by Ma Kui and hit him in an angry manner.

"Your current task is to study. You don't have to worry about things at home, okay?" Ma Kui smiled apologetically at Wang Sufang, then looked at Ma Yan and said seriously.

"Okay, Lao Ma, let's eat first. Why are you talking so much while eating?" Seeing this, Yuan Mu hurried out to smooth things over.

"Come here, Yan Zi, have a chicken leg." Yuan Mu put a chicken leg into Ma Yan's bowl.

Ma Yan pouted, then lowered her head and started eating.

Soon, the wine was poured and the three of them started drinking. If it weren't for Yuan Mu, Wang Xin probably wouldn't be able to come here to drink with Ma Kui. Wang Xin was relying on Yuan Mu's help.

"Brother Lai Mu, let me toast you." Wang Xin raised the glass with a smile.

"Okay, Lao Ma, let's have a drink together." Yuan Mu smiled and picked up the glass, clinking it with the two of them.
