After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

216 I think I know what's going on

It started raining outside.

With nothing to do in the room, Xiao Wei took the initiative to teach Shu Lan to sing "People in the Mountains" and "The World in the Misty Rain", which finally woke up the young woman who was pretending to be asleep.

"What did the girl do wrong?"

Xiao Wei turned a deaf ear to the woman's question, closed his eyes and shook his head, humming, ignoring her existence. Yongzhong, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, didn't even raise his eyelids, and Sister Tang, who was resting with her eyes closed, didn't move either.

After watching for a few minutes, the woman felt bored and walked out.

Xiao Wei glanced at her back and felt that she was quite pretty, at least much more attractive than Sister Tang.

Three or five seconds after the woman left, Yongzhong put down the book and followed her out.

Nearly an hour later, Yongzhong came back and whispered as he kissed her, "She has wandered around several rooms and is still going on. She must have accomplices. I can't imagine what they would do."

Xiao Wei shook her head: "I can't think of it either. Maybe he was just an ordinary passenger and we misunderstood."

"Better a misunderstanding."

Near noon, the passenger ship arrived at a small port.

Two young women were arranged to move into Xiaowei's room. From their conversation, she learned that they were from the county-level Propaganda Department. One of their programs had been recommended to the province, and they were going to the province for review.

The famine is not over yet. Is it really necessary to waste huge amounts of manpower and financial resources on propaganda?

Yes, it is necessary.

Shanzi once said: Don't underestimate the effectiveness of propaganda. If it weren't for the widespread campaign to recall the past and create the illusion that things are different now, social order would have been in chaos long ago.

The two actors were excited and serious, and they were proofreading their lines while making their beds.

It was clear from the content that the play denounced the evil deeds of the landlords, but also sang praises of the new society. This routine made Xiao Wei feel sick and he immediately hid under the quilt.

But Xiao Wei was still annoyed by the two actors' recklessness. Just as she was about to remind them to shut up, a voice came from the loudspeaker on the boat, saying that it was time to eat.

Except Xiao Wei, everyone walked out.

After only two or three minutes, the young woman came back and saw Xiao Wei sleeping on his side, as if talking to herself: "There are many people eating now, I'll go back later."

Before he finished speaking, he sat down beside Xiao Wei's bed and asked in a low voice, "Girl, is that guy escorting you?"

Xiao Wei pretended to be asleep and didn't answer. The woman continued with the same old story: "What's wrong with you, girl? I know an old doctor who is very skilled."

Seeing that Xiao Wei still didn't answer, the woman stood up, walked around the room, and then sat down next to Xiao Wei's bed: "Girl, you are so young, why don't you learn well."

This woman obviously did it on purpose. Xiao Wei had already noticed her fleeting movement, but couldn't figure out how she was going to cause trouble.

A quarter of an hour later, Yongzhong brought in the food and they both ate slowly together.

Hearing the two actors chattering in, Xiao Wei couldn't help but call them to stop: "Let's go outside for rehearsal. Don't disturb my nap."

Seeing the prison uniform on Xiao Wei, a young female actress was dissatisfied: "You think you are qualified to manage us?"

Yongzhong stood up and said coldly: "Since you are so noisy, you should change rooms."

Another actor chimed in: "If there is a room, who would be happy to be with a criminal? We even think it's unlucky."

Xiao Wei's short, uneven hair covered half of her face, and she really matched the criminal.

Yongzhong didn't want to explain, so he cleaned up the dishes and went out: "I'll go ask if there are other rooms."

The woman in question smiled and tried to smooth things over: "We're out and about, it's just a one or two day thing, please be considerate of each other."

The young actress was even more arrogant: "You dare to ask us to do that? Why don't you just take a piss and look at yourself."

In line with the principle that a good woman will not suffer a loss in front of her, Xiao Wei was too lazy to argue and curled up in the quilt pretending to sleep.

The two actors thought Xiao Wei was scared and started to curse and complain.

At this moment, there was a commotion deep in the corridor. The noise became louder and louder. Except for the little girl Shulan, the other four ran out.

After a while, Yongzhong came in and said, "Someone on the ship lost money and food coupons, and they are searching now."

Xiao Wei figured it out a little, but didn't understand it all: "Someone in our room must have been robbed."

Yongzhong asked: "How much money and food coupons did you bring in total?"

Xiao Wei said unhappily, "About two or three hundred, I'm not sure exactly."

The money was put in the bag by those people from the farm and could not be used in prison. Later, it was taken to the hospital by Su Daqiang. Xiao Wei really didn't know the exact amount.

Yongzhong opened the bag that Xiaowei used as a backrest and finally took out a small cloth bag. He poured out the money and food coupons inside and began to count them.

Without counting them clearly, Yongzhong just collected the money and food coupons and stuffed them into Xiaowei's chest when he heard footsteps.

The four women who had gone out to watch the fun came in together and scrambled to find their wallets.

First, Sister Tang screamed, "The money and food coupons I put in my coat pocket were also stolen. There were more than eight yuan and more than four kilograms of food coupons."

The two actors were honest: "Fortunately, mine wasn't lost."

"Mine wasn't lost either."

The young woman burst into tears: "My 40-plus yuan and more than 10 kilograms of food coupons are gone, all gone."

He cried and beat his head and chest in a panic, then collapsed to the ground with the quilt, rolling on the ground and crying and cursing loudly.

Yongzhong said coldly, "Don't be impatient. Talk to me. No one has ever left this room. How could it be lost?"

Young actress: "We all went to eat, it's not impossible that some bad guys stole the goods."

The female actor chimed in: "That's right. He's really brave."

The two were obviously resentful of Xiao Wei for not letting them get angry.

Sister Tang reluctantly defended herself: "Miss Xiaowei is so injured that she can't move at all. How could she do such a thing?"

Many people rushed into the room. A passenger ship manager comforted the young woman: "Don't cry, tell me how much money was lost and when it was lost."

Sister Tang gestured to explain: "My coat was hanging next to the bed. When I went to get lunch money, it was still there. But when I went out to eat, it disappeared. Only three coins were left."

"How much was lost in total?"

"Eight dollars and seventy cents, and four pounds and four ounces of food coupons."

The young woman finally stopped crying: "I have 48.5 yuan and 16.3 jin of food coupons, all gone. That's life-saving money. How can I survive now?"

The young actress pointed at Xiao Wei and said, "She was the only one there during dinner."

Sister Tang quickly stated, "It's impossible. Xiao Wei was injured and couldn't move. He was asleep the whole time. Someone else must have come in."

There was another commotion in the corridor, and someone cried out, "It's unfair, it's unfair."

It looks like the thief has been caught.

Those who came to watch the fun rushed out again.

As the manager was leaving, he shouted, "Don't move a muscle. We'll search you later."

Yongzhong scanned the people in the room and asked Xiaowei, "Several people were robbed in broad daylight. Did you figure out what happened?"

Xiao Wei looked deeply at the woman with disheveled hair and cried: "I think I know what's going on."

As she spoke, she asked Yongzhong to stand up, and with her right hand, she lifted the quilt beside her bed, revealing several food coupons underneath. "Sister Tang, come and see if they are yours?"

Sister Tang picked it up and said with difficulty: "Four pounds and four ounces, just right. But where's the money?"

Xiao Wei said nonchalantly, "Look under the quilt at my end."

Sister Tang looked carefully and said, "There's only one five-dollar bill missing. Miss Xiaowei, what's going on?"
