Lu Zhengting gave Lin Qingyan three things in one day. What is the relationship between the two of them?

Lin Qingyan was embarrassed to accept it: "Comrade Lu, this is too expensive."

At that time, even the cheapest fountain pen cost several yuan, and the more expensive ones cost tens of yuan. Even a few yuan was several days' wages for a worker, so how could she accept it?

Lu Zhengting seemed to have already guessed that she would decline.

"Comrade Lin, I knew you wouldn't accept it willingly, and you'd say you couldn't accept it. But you also know my personality; once I decide to give something away, there's no reason for me to take it back."

I bought this before I came to Mopan Village. You can take it. If you don't like it, you can throw it away or smash it. I won't mind. Anyway, it's yours now, so you can do whatever you want with it.

After saying that, he stuffed the pen and its box into Lin Qingyan's hand.

"Here's the stuff, I'm leaving."

"Comrade Lu, don't worry, I won't lose it."

Since we've already taken the items, why throw them away?

She told Lu Zhengting that she wouldn't throw away the pen because she wanted him to know that she appreciated his gesture and to avoid him misunderstanding that she had misused his things.

Lu Zhengting turned back to her and gently smiled, "Okay."

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Gu Mingzhou sitting in the corner. The guy was still holding his slingshot. He figured he might as well go too.

He walked up to Gu Mingzhou and extended his hand to him.

Where is my slingshot?

Lin Sisi looked at Gu Mingzhou: "Didn't you borrow the slingshot from the locals?"

Gu Mingzhou gave a forced smile: "I was just kidding. It wasn't borrowed from a fellow villager; it belongs to this Comrade Lu."

He took out the slingshot and returned it to Lu Zhengting.

Lu Zhengting took the slingshot and casually asked, "How many wild animals did you catch?"

Gu Mingzhou was embarrassed to say it, but Lin Sisi said, "The slingshot you made is terrible. Brother Mingzhou didn't hit anything all afternoon."

"What? You didn't hit anything?"

Lu Zhengting was shocked, but thinking about it, it was normal. Gu Mingzhou had a strong network of connections, but his professional skills were indeed not strong.

However, since Gu Mingzhou didn't hit anything, the blame cannot be placed on his tools.

He put the slingshot in his pocket and said, "This slingshot of mine is just as good. I was able to hunt wild animals this morning thanks to it."

In other words, whether or not you can hunt wild animals depends not so much on the tools you use, but on the person you hunt.

This proves that Gu Mingzhou is incompetent.

Upon hearing Lu Zhengting's words, everyone else immediately understood that Gu Mingzhou was truly inferior to this Comrade Lu. He was clumsy and couldn't hunt wild animals, yet he blamed Lu's tools for being bad.

At this moment, they began to look down on Gu Mingzhou and Lin Sisi to some extent.

Someone who lacks ability, who says they can't do what they say, and who refuses to admit their incompetence, instead making excuses elsewhere.

Another one spouts a lot of empty talk, speaking in a high-profile and flamboyant manner, but unfortunately, it's all just empty talk.

Gu Mingzhou felt ashamed, his face darkened, and he lowered his head slightly.

He reluctantly took out the slingshot and handed it to Lu Zhengting: "Maybe I'm not used to your stuff, that's why I didn't hit anything."

"Really?" Lu Zhengting frowned again: "This isn't actually mine. It belongs to my cousin. This is the first time I've used it. I wasn't used to it at first, but that doesn't stop me from hunting."

Gu Mingzhou: "..."

He looked up and stared blankly at Lu Zhengting, wanting to punch the guy to death.

Can't you just stop telling the truth and give him some face?

Lu Zhengting put the slingshot into his pocket, then turned to Lin Qingyan again to say goodbye: "Goodbye, Lin Qingyan!"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Goodbye!"

Gu Mingzhou was initially dejected, but when he saw Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan saying goodbye, he clearly saw them exchanging glances and showing mutual affection.

Lu Zhengting had ulterior motives towards Lin Qingyan, but Lin Qingyan was completely unaware of it and even thought he meant well.

No, if he can't stop Lin Qingyan, then he'll stop Lu Zhengting.

In short, we can't let Lu Zhengting, that wolf in sheep's clothing, ruin Lin Qingyan.

He got up and chased after Lu Zhengting as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the educated youth settlement.

Lu Zhengting felt very fulfilled after giving away the pen, and his mood was naturally quite good.

But he hadn't gone far from the educated youth settlement when people started chasing after him.

"Old Lu, don't go yet."

When Lu Zhengting heard Gu Mingzhou's voice, he stopped and frowned as he looked at Gu Mingzhou.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say my slingshot wasn't good? Do you still want to use it? Or do you want to borrow other hunting tools? My uncle's family only has slingshots, no other hunting tools."

Even if I had the tools, I wouldn't lend them to that idiot Gu Mingzhou, so I wouldn't blame the tools when I couldn't catch any prey.

Gu Mingzhou shook his head: "Old Lu, I'm not here to borrow your tools. I have something else to tell you."

"What's up?"

Gu Mingzhou looked to both sides and saw a haystack nearby.

"Old Lu, this is a main road, there will definitely be people coming and going. It won't be good if others hear us. Let's go talk by that haystack."

It was getting dark, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road. Lu Zhengting didn't care much and walked towards the haystack with Gu Mingzhou.

But as soon as they reached the haystack, they heard something amiss, and the two of them immediately stopped.

If you listen closely, it sounds like dogs fighting and biting each other over there.

“It’s just a dog, it’s fine,” Gu Mingzhou said. “Let’s talk about our business. It won’t matter if the dog hears it, it doesn’t understand anyway.”

"Shh!"

Lu Zhengting gestured for Gu Mingzhou to be quiet. Gu Mingzhou was surprised and whispered, "Are you afraid the dog can hear your secret?"

Lu Zhengting didn't say anything. He tiptoed to the other side of the haystack, peeked out, and sure enough, there was a dog there. However, the one fighting with the dog wasn't a dog, but a person.

As soon as he appeared, the two men and their dog who were fighting spotted him. The man immediately got up from the ground, dragged the dog away, and ran off. The man was incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhengting was curious about what kind of person this was, as he seemed to be quite skilled.

Mopantun Brigade is a place where hidden talents reside.

Gu Mingzhou also came over: "Old Lu, did you see what that thing clearly just now? I only saw a shadow. It was running too fast. It should be a savage."

"Savage?"

"Yes, look how fast he runs. He can even fight a dog. He's definitely not a normal person. The west side of this village is all mountains, so there's a chance that wild men might appear there."

"Maybe he's a normal person who turned into a madman."
