The lame man's surname was not Lame, but Wei. But because he had a lame leg and liked to curse, he gradually got the nickname Lame Wei.

The reason why it is Cripple Wei and not Cripple Wei is also very particular.

Xu Xiaotiao relied on his mouth to eat, and this time he had something to ask for, so naturally he couldn't call him by his nickname, so he called him Lame Uncle.

"I said lame uncle, what's wrong? If you don't welcome me, I'll leave immediately."

Xu Xiaotiao shook the thing in his hand, looking like he was handling it.

"People can leave, but the meat and wine stay."

Although the lame Wei walked with both hands, his speed was not slow. He came to Xu Xiaotiao, grabbed the wine first, then bit it open with his teeth, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

"Lame uncle, please slow down, no one will compete with you."

Xu Xiaotiao quickly stopped him. If the other party was drunk, wouldn't his trip be in vain?

"On our street, you are the only one who knows something."

Although Lame Wei was addicted to alcohol, he was also 'stingy' and could not bear to drink more. After he was satisfied, he started to sip it in small sips.

"No, as soon as I have something good, I immediately think of you."

Xu Xiaotiao just complimented him face-to-face. When he was naughty and mischievous in the past, the other party often called him a bastard. The key is that when it comes to scolding people, he is a shrew more than those shrews, and he knows his family's genealogy better than he, a son.

.

"Okay, you kid has never let go of the rabbit before it's too late. For the sake of both wine and meat, tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

Lame Wei curled his lips disdainfully.

It's a pity that this guy is also a man. He said he was bringing wine and meat for him, but what he brought was raw meat. Even if he put it in a pot and cooked it, it would take at least half an hour.

I'm afraid that during this period, I won't be able to keep my ears clean.

So he went straight to the point.

"Hey, Uncle Lame, I remember you said before that your lockpicking skills are unparalleled in this part of the capital?"

Xu Xiaotiao continued to compliment.

"You want me to help you open the lock? No, it's an ordinary lock. You won't invest so much money. Could it be that you stole the safe? You want me to open it for you?"

Cripple Wei squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how difficult the safe is, there is no safe that I, Cripple Wei, can't open. No matter what we agreed in advance, 50-50, I will keep it secret for you by the way."

"Lame uncle, where are you going? Don't talk about the safe. Even if I steal a few cents, my dad will beat me to death."

Xu Xiaotiao immediately shook his head.

At the same time, he also looked at the two broken legs of Lame Wei.

To open a safe, you have to share 50%. He felt that the other party's legs were broken because he was too greedy.

Fortunately, I only had a broken leg and my hand was still intact, so I didn't miss my meal.

This craft is the key to why Cripple Wei has not starved to death in recent years.

"Then you want to become a disciple?"

Lame Wei suddenly looked at Xu Xiaotiao in confusion.

Anyway, he didn't believe that this kid would come to him with food and wine for no reason.

"That's it, can you open the safe model XX?"

Xu Xiaotiao took a deep breath and expressed the questions he was holding in his heart.

"What? You want to test me? This type of safe is not big and is usually used by rich people to hide things. The steps to unlock it are more troublesome, but it doesn't bother me."

Lame Wei's face was full of pride.

"Then do you know, besides you, is there anyone else who can open it?"

Xu Xiaotiao had always suspected Cripple Wei, so he had been observing him before, but he didn't see anything strange.

However, looking at the other person's proud look, he also realized that there must not be many people who can open this kind of safe.

"What do you want to do, kid? It's secretive and not pleasant at all. Either make it clear or get out of here. Don't try to get anything out of me."

What has Cripple Wei not experienced?

How could Xu Xiaotiao hide this little thought from him?

"Uncle Lame, to tell you the truth, I just heard news on the black market that a wealthy family's safe was stolen. The missing money, gold, and jewelry totaled tens of thousands. Who can find it?"

People, don’t they get rich?

Uncle Lame, I promise you that as long as you catch this thief and get the bounty, we will share it equally, and then I will buy you Moutai, how about it?"

Xu Xiaotiao also knew that he had no room for bargaining, so he could only tell the truth.

"Oh, bounty? Are you stupid? The bounty is only a few dollars. If you can take advantage of it, the tens of thousands of dollars will be yours."

Lame Wei said with a half-smile.

"No, I, Xu Xiaotiao, have no other merits except that I am self-aware. I have only a few pounds and a few taels, but I still want to get away with it? I'm afraid you will have to burn paper at my grave next year."

Xu Xiaotiao shook his head.

Who doesn’t want to pocket those tens of thousands of dollars?

The key is, you can swallow your life, but you can't spend your life.

It's better to report it and get some reward.

"roll!"

Cripple Wei was quite satisfied with Xu Xiaotiao's previous words. At least he wasn't stupid, but the last sentence made him glare directly.

"Hey, lame uncle, what do you think of this deal?"

Xu Xiaotiao asked quickly.

"No, if I really know who stole it, I can just collect the reward myself. Why should I give it to you? Do you think I can't walk if my leg is broken?"

Lame Wei shook his head.

"Lame uncle, don't forget, you can also open the safe."

Xu Xiaotiao said meaningfully.

And what he said was naturally met with an angry look from the lame Wei.

"Lame uncle, you should have been quite famous before your leg was broken, right? Do you think the temptation of tens of thousands of dollars can make some people think of you?

After all, although you have withdrawn from the world, your legend still exists in the world.

Let's just say it just in case.

What if you encounter some ruthless people and instead of reporting them, they arrest you and interrogate you?

So, even if it’s not for the bounty, but just for your own safety, you still have to find the thief, right?”

Xu Xiaotiao analyzed it unhurriedly.

The cripple Wei's originally dirty face turned completely black.

The drunkenness I felt at the beginning was completely frightened away.

"Lame uncle, how about this? When no one is around at night, I will carry you to my house and live there for two days. When the person is caught and proven to have nothing to do with you, how about you come back?

As for the bounty, I will definitely keep your share for you. From now on, I will treat you as a father-in-law and take care of you until the end of your life. During the holidays, when you die of old age, I will go and add something to your grave during the holidays.

Put some soil and burn some paper so that you won't have no money to spend down there."

Xu Xiaotiao was indeed relying on his words, and he was so surprised that he said to the cripple Wei that his face was "moved".

It took half a minute for Lame Wei to recover from his "touch". He took a deep look at Xu Xiaotiao.

"After it gets dark, come and pick me up."

Although his lame Wei Tian was not afraid of anything, and his mouth made the neighbors shun him, but this was only for literary people. If people wanted to come to martial arts with him, he would have no place to reason.

Moreover, the possibility Xu Xiaotiao mentioned is not impossible.

Even though his leg is broken, it doesn't mean he has enough life.

It's clear that he didn't do it himself, but he was inexplicably blamed for it, and he might even become a scapegoat in the end. Where can he go to reason?

Therefore, it is important to leave this place of right and wrong (home) and save your life.

"You always agreed?"

Xu Xiaotiao's face was filled with surprise.

"Well, after I make arrangements, I will provide you with a list of several people. You can investigate it yourself or report it directly. In short, you can't reveal anything about me. After all, I live in your house."

For the sake of his own life, Lame Wei did not hesitate to threaten him.

"Don't worry, even if I sell my father, I won't sell you."

Xu Xiaotiao patted his chest in assurance, as if he had already seen the scene of receiving the bounty.
