As the end of the year approaches, both of them must be eager to return to Sandagou as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Sun Xuefeng wanted to make a final trip back to his grandfather and uncle's home in Kaoshantun to say goodbye.

Lian Xiaomin also needs to have a good talk with her aunt and uncle, and Lawrence Lu might be here soon, so she is a little anxious.

However, things are often like this. The more anxious you are to get on the road, the more trouble you will encounter.

…

On this day, Lian Xiaomin drove to the suburbs near Shangqiu County, Henan Province.

Seeing that she was too tired, Sun Xuefeng suggested that they stop in the woods outside the city to rest for a while and have a hot meal.

"Xiao Min, I'm going to the county town to buy some food. You can take a rest here."

"Okay, go ahead and take the lunch box."

There were only two of them, and they were too lazy to make a fire and cook along the way. They just ate dry food or went directly to the state-owned restaurants they passed by to buy food.

Sun Xuefeng left carrying a cloth bag containing several lunch boxes.

Lian Xiaomin closed her eyes and rested here. She took out a portion of spicy chicken wings from the space and ate a little to fill her stomach.

But, after waiting for an hour and a half, why hasn’t Sun Xuefeng come back yet?

This place is right on the edge of the county town, only about three miles away.

She wasn't too worried about Sun Xuefeng getting caught. If anything went wrong, with his skills, couldn't he just run away?

Who among ordinary people can catch him easily?

Unable to sit still any longer, she got out of the car, put the truck into the space, and decided to go into the county town to look for it.

She wrapped herself in a dark green wool scarf, carried a backpack, and hurried along the road into the city.

Half an hour later, after asking around, we arrived at the door of a state-owned restaurant.

After she went in, she bought two pounds of dumplings in two lunch boxes. While waiting for them to be packed, she asked the waitress.

"Sister, my brother just said he was here to buy food, but he has now gone somewhere. Have you seen a young man about 23 or 24 years old? He was wearing a military coat."

At that time, military coats were rare items, and if someone wore one, it would be considered the best clothing and would be easier to remember.

The waiter looked at the girl. Her face was not visible, but her eyes were really pretty. He thought about it.

"It seemed that there was a young man who looked quite energetic and wore a very new military coat... He brought several lunch boxes, bought some food and left."

It seems that Sun Xuefeng left the state-owned hotel and then encountered something.

Lian Xiaomin put the lunch box into the backpack and put it away first for fear that it would get cold.

With no other choice, she left the hotel and planned to take a quick walk around to look for it.

Fortunately, Lian Xiaomin didn't walk far before she saw Sun Xuefeng striding out from an alley in front of the State-owned Hotel.

The other party seemed to be in a hurry, and the two of them collided head-on.

"Hey! I've been waiting for you, but you didn't come back, so I came to see what's going on!"

Lian Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, and it was clear that something was wrong with him.

Sun Xuefeng nodded, and the two walked to the side of the road and whispered, "Xiaomin, I'm sorry to have worried you. I was just about to go back to find you. I did run into something that delayed me."

"Well, what's going on? Tell me~"

Sun Xuefeng wiped the sweat off his head and said, "I mentioned this to you before. I learned martial arts from an uncle. His last name was Luo, Luo Sheng. He was a friend of my dad and drove a car in the army."

Lian Xiaomin remembered that when Sun Xuefeng went to rescue his sister, he was only 19 years old. It was not easy for him to kill three scums of the Pigeon Committee by himself.

I went to the small black market in the commune hospital to make my first delivery. On my way back late at night, I passed by that alley and saw him lying on the ground. I saved him and carried him back home.

I was still wondering, this guy is quite capable, he could fight one against three, and his attacks were ruthless enough, all of them were killed.

Later he said that he had learned martial arts and was taught by an uncle who was a soldier, I think that was Uncle Luo.

"Today I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy food. As soon as I left the house, I saw Uncle Luo's son, Luo Zhengchun... After asking him, I found out that a lot of things had happened in his family..."

Sun Xuefeng told Lian Xiaomin that, as far as he knew, Luo Sheng was driving a car in the army. Once when he was on a business trip transporting supplies, he encountered a mudslide caused by heavy rain on the road.

Later, the car overturned and he was seriously injured, with one leg disabled. He was demobilized and assigned back to his hometown in Shangqiu, thus leaving Jianye County.

Luo Sheng had served in the army in Liaoning Province for many years. His elder brother Luo Zheng was a college classmate of Sun Xuefeng's father Sun Han. In this way, the two established a relationship and often visited each other.

A few years ago, Luo Sheng’s elder brother, Luo Zheng, who taught in high school, was also accused of something and his fate was very similar to that of Sun Han.

Luo Sheng couldn't bear to see this, so he stood up for his elder brother and got into a conflict with the leader of the red armbands. He accidentally hit someone and got implicated. Later, he even lost his job in the county.

Today was a coincidence. Sun Xuefeng actually met Luo Sheng’s son, Luo Zhengchun, who is 13 years old this year.

More than four years ago, when nothing happened at home, Luo Zhengchun followed his mother to Liaoning Province to visit Luo Sheng, and also met several children from the Sun family.

He is only one year older than Sun Xuewei, and they all had a great time.

Luo Zhengchun has always been very impressed with Sun Xuefeng. He knew that this Brother Feng was his father's apprentice, was very strong, gave him biscuits, and took him out to play for several days. How could he not recognize him?

Today, Xiao Zhengchun recognized Sun Xuefeng and called him twice.

Sun Xuefeng was very surprised and only recognized him after a careful look.

Look at this kid wearing patched clothes. He is so different from the cute fat kid back then...

He seemed to be very hungry today, so he squatted at the door of the state-owned restaurant, silently watching others go in to eat.

Sun Xuefeng was very excited to meet him. Needless to say, he would go home with him to visit him.

When I arrived at Luo Sheng's home, I learned that more than four years ago, the two pillars of the Luo family had collapsed. One was demoted, and the other had a leg disability and lost his job a few years ago, so life must have been very hard.

Sun Xuefeng felt very sad when he saw what happened to Uncle Luo's family.

He poured out the two boxes of lunch and two boxes of vegetables he had bought and gave them to the Luo family's children, and also left them three hundred yuan.

Luo Sheng is only 40 years old this year and his legs are not in good condition. In recent years, he has been reduced to carrying heavy bags at the station to earn a few dollars and live a hard life.

He looks as haggard as if he was in his fifties or sixties, and has completely lost the vigor and vitality he once had when punching and kicking.

I heard that his elder brother Luo Zheng was even more miserable. When something happened, he was framed and his wife immediately divorced him, drew a clear line between them, and even abandoned her children and returned to her parents' home.
