Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 97 Disappearing Silently

"That's right. This is the Liang Huandi in my eyes who dares to love and hate. Separation is just another kind of stay. Don't ask me when I will return, just wish me to go far away." Ma Qing didn't know what to say and was talking nonsense.

Ma Qing took out some things from his bag and placed them in front of Liang Huandi one by one. There were 10 small yellow croakers and 1500 yuan. "Sister Liang, take these and put them somewhere. You can use them when you need them in the future."

Liang Huandi was not frightened, but she still widened her eyes, picked up the bundle of big black tens, felt the thickness of the banknotes, and picked up the small yellow croaker, put it in her mouth and took a bite. Her appearance made Ma Qing laugh.

Apparently the last conversation had worked. Liang Huandi was not frightened by the valuables that Ma Qing took out. She was also a straightforward woman and thought that Ma Qing wanted to hide these valuables with her just in case, or for the purpose of making a comeback in the future.

"Don't worry, your sister must have hidden these things for you. When you come back, I will give them to you without missing a cent." Liang Huandi swore.

"Sister Liang, you still underestimate me. I told you, these things are for you. If you need them in the future, just use them."

Liang Huandi was about to speak when Ma Qing put his finger on her lips and said, "Listen to me, I will go to Tianjin and find an opportunity to disappear there. If you hear that I have disappeared, don't worry about me. I am fine. There may be a chance in the future, and we may meet again one day."

"Don't look for me, it's meaningless. Please keep our relationship deep in your heart, otherwise it will not only bring trouble to you, but also to me." Ma Qing warned.

"Finally, let me say a few more words. If, I mean if, the country allows private businesses in the future, remember to stop being a welder and open a restaurant to do some small business. You can find a chef from Nanjing University or He Yuzhu to be your chef. It doesn't matter if they pay you more. When you make money, buy a house where there are a lot of people. There are really too many people in our country."

Ma Qing told Liang Huandi some information about the future development direction, but whether she listened or not was not something she could control.

Liang Huandi listened with tears streaming down her face. The tenderness of this little man who took advantage of her and took her body hurt her heart.

Ma Qing looked at the woman in front of him, the first woman in his life, with mixed feelings. He knew that he could not give up the entire forest for a tree. Moreover, this was not just a matter of trees, but a wider world and a brighter future waiting for him.

Ma Qing couldn't bear to see a woman cry, so he went forward and gently hugged Liang Huandi, whispering in her ear, "Goodbye, Sister Liang, see you later."

After saying this, without waiting for Liang Huandi's response, he quickly walked away, opened the door, and disappeared from Liang Huandi's sight.

After leaving Liang Huandi's house, Ma Qing saw that it was still early, so he rode his bike to the Daqianmen Bistro. It must be said that in the past few years, Ma Qing's cycling endurance has really been trained. His legs seem to be made of iron and he doesn't know what fatigue is.

After entering the tavern, I greeted Mr. and Mrs. Cai, "Old rules, Mr. Cai."

Ma Qing sat at the familiar table. A bottle of beer, a plate of peanuts, a plate of smashed cucumbers, and a plate of marinated offal were placed in front of Ma Qing. Ma Qing filled the glass with beer, took a big sip, turned his head and looked out the window. The sunset dyed the sky red, just like Ma Qing's current mood, a little hot and a little lost.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Ma Qing made up his mind. Goodbye, Sijiucheng, goodbye, four years of my life. The next morning, Ma Qing packed a bottle of Wuliangye in a briefcase and found Deputy Director Li. He said that he was working on a technical project recently and needed to go to Tianjin Heavy Machinery Factory to learn. He hoped that Deputy Director Li could give him a green light and write him a letter of introduction.

For the sake of this bottle of Wuliangye, Li Huaide waved his hand and wrote a letter of introduction to Ma Qing in the name of technical exchange, and reminded him, "Ma Qing, it has been raining heavily in Tianjin recently. Why don't you go there again after a while."

Ma Qing replied, "Brother Li, I have an eccentric nut now. I need to find a large machinery factory to test its performance. Time is of the essence."

"Oh, you are still working on inventions? Well, then be careful." Li Huaide didn't actually care about Ma Qing. He just wanted to show his concern out of interpersonal relationships. After hearing Ma Qing say this, he didn't mention it again.

Ma Qing came out of Li Huaide's office and thought that this was the benefit of having a good relationship with the top management, everything became easier.

After returning, Ma Qing found the chief of the technical department, his immediate superior, and said that he would be on a business trip for a few days. He also took out Li Huaide's letter of introduction. The chief saw that the deputy factory director had agreed, so what was there to talk about? He immediately said that he would obey the leadership's arrangements and asked Ma Qing to go and come back quickly.

The reason why Ma Qing wanted to go to Tianjin was actually just an excuse. In August 63, there was a heavy rain in Tianjin, which caused a major flood. Ma Qing decided to use this excuse to escape by water.

All the prerequisites have been met. This plan is not perfect, and it can't even be considered a plan. It just gives all parties a reason or excuse. Ma Qing himself doesn't care. He is mainly afraid of implicating the relatives of the old Ma family. It is just to give an explanation to the original body. You can say that Ma Qing is pretentious or hypocritical. Anyway, doing this will make Ma Qing feel better.

Ma Qing returned home and thoroughly tidied up the space. He also set aside an armed room in the space. In this room were placed various clothes, fake certificates, fake letters of introduction, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, grenades, etc., all of which were looted in the past few years.

Ma Qing set the door of the space in the weapons room. On the left side of the door was a weapons rack, ensuring that Ma Qing could get the weapons as soon as he entered the space; on the right side were various clothes, fake documents, fake letters of introduction, various tools, and even a small amount of foreign currencies such as US dollars and British pounds.

Not only this weapons room, Ma Qing also set up a deodorization room with several exhaust fans that can quickly remove the smell on the body.

Ma Qing was very satisfied. This place looked like a safe house for a top agent, with a bit of Bond flavor in the movies.

In fact, in the past few years, Ma Qing not only took out the money in his passbook to exchange for antique calligraphy and paintings, but also wandered around Sijiu City in his free time.

With the help of the robots, it can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful. The gold and silver in the space piled up into small mountains. Antique paintings and calligraphy, jewelry, jade, bronze and porcelain can be said to be everything. Even some foreign currencies were obtained. I don't know if these foreign currencies from decades ago can still be used now.

Now if Ma Qing says that he is rich enough to rival a country, that would be bragging, but if he says that he is the richest in a region, that would be modesty.

Thanks to book friend (the user has been cancelled due to violation) for becoming the first apprentice-level book friend, I am very grateful.
