Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 72: Sneak Attacker

Coming out of the sixth grade classroom, Jiang Jun, like an excited white rabbit, confessed to Wan Feng with a disgusting expression: "You will be my brother from now on. If you have any problems, just let me know and I promise to rush forward without looking back, no matter what the hell..."

"Get lost! I still have to see how you behave in the future. If you steal something again and I find out, I'll beat you up until you have diarrhea."

"I promise I won't."

Does this count as having a disciple? Should Youlin wear a windbreaker and sunglasses like Ma Ge in the future?

Wan Feng was designing his own image in his mind when Li Yi's whistle sounded and the afternoon training began again.

The students in the third grade and above who went to work in the orchard came back laughing, completely unlike the dejected deserters who had come out of work in the past. It was obvious that the intensity of this work was a good memory for these guys. How could they still have the mood to laugh?

Working in the orchard during this period is the most boring thing, as it is not yet time to harvest either apples or peaches.

Even the May red peaches will not be available for half a month, and even the cherries are sour now.

Is it a reason to laugh just because they picked a few wild flowers, these idiots!

When the students come back from working, it means it's time to go home from school.

Li Yi blew the whistle to assemble the group and announced that today's training was over.

Today is the day that Chen Wenxin and Yang Guobo from Wanfeng and Dashutun are on duty. Jiang Jun stayed behind to help Wanfeng clean up, working as diligently as a happy groundhog.

Wan Feng didn't even move his hands from beginning to end.

It really feels good to have a younger brother.

After fetching water, sweeping the floor and wiping the tables, there were no people left on campus.

Chen Wenxin and Yang Guobo left first, followed by Wan Feng and Jiang Jun.

There is a very deep ditch outside the school. One end of the ditch is connected to the orchard, and the other end extends to the foot of the mountain.

When it rains, this ditch is usually filled with muddy water. The rainwater coming down from the mountain gathers in the ditch and rushes down, creating a spectacular scene.

A stone bridge was built across the ditch to facilitate students' passage. After crossing the stone bridge, there is a hillside of about 400 meters, and further down is Shutun.

When Wan Feng and Jiang Jun arrived at Xu Bin's house, Xu Bin and his sister were concentrating on helping Wan Feng manage the business.

"Brother! I rented out more books today than usual. I've already dealt with all the cash payments. The only thing left is the money that was exchanged for books using broken glass. I haven't dealt with that yet."

Now that the sports meet is over, naturally more people will read books. It’s a very simple truth.

Wan Feng took over the processing of the students who exchanged books. After dealing with the broken glass, a dark-skinned student came to Wan Feng with a piece of iron in his hand.

"Can I exchange the iron for the book?"

Wan Feng looked at the child in surprise.

He had considered exchanging other things for books. Among all the supply and marketing cooperatives in this brigade, Cuitun was the only one that collected scrap, and he had studied the prices of various waste products there.

For example, iron costs three cents per jin, aluminum costs two cents per jin, brass costs one yuan and five cents per jin, and copper costs one yuan and seven cents per jin.

The reason why he didn't start exchanging these things for books was because he was worried that it would cause some mess.

The biggest worry is theft.

He didn't have to worry about the children stealing the broken glass when he exchanged it for books. Even if you wanted to steal it, you had to find a place to steal it. Strictly speaking, glass was not available everywhere in the countryside. Apart from wine bottles and cans, the most common source of glass was people's windows. You wouldn't steal the glass from people's windows.

Even in the 1980s, not every household had glass windows, and many families still had paper-covered windows.

But iron and copper are not so good. If you want to steal them, you can really steal them. When people cannot control their desires, they are destined to take risks.

Wan Feng didn't want to train a group of thieves just for a few books.

"No, I won't change anything except the glass." Wan Feng simply refused. This opportunity must not be opened.

The child was very disappointed, and his eyes were gray.

Wan Feng sighed and picked up a book. "Take Tie home. This book is for you. Xu Bin, register it for him."

The child's sadness turned into laughter and he left happily.

The remaining dozen or so people were carried back together by Xu Bin and Junzi from his uncle's family, while Wan Feng and Jiang Jun went home.

"Wan Feng! Will you, Liu Shengan, let this go?"

"No!" Wan Feng answered without thinking.

Liu Shengan is a very patient person. Wan Feng kicked his brother, challenged him in person yesterday, and slapped him in the face in their class today. He thought Liu Shengan would learn to block him on the road, but he didn't.

However, Wan Feng estimated that Liu Shengan could not endure it for much longer, no more than three.

Wan Feng felt quite pressured when fighting with Liu Shengan. Liu Shengan was different from Yang Hai, Xiao Jun and Tan Chun. His physical fitness and height were incomparable to these people.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that Liu Shengan has fought in wars with gangsters.

Ever since he was beaten by Sun Wu last time, he has been consciously collecting some information about Liu Shengan. This guy has some contacts with some gangsters in Heijiao Commune.

Although the level of the gangsters at that time was very low, they were not doing it for money, they were just showing off, and they enjoyed beating people and showing how powerful they were by beating people.

The Huanghui Brigade of Heijiao Commune and the Zhoujia Brigade of Jiangwei Brigade are almost separated by a piece of land about two or three hundred meters apart. There are two hooligans in the Huanghui Brigade who are both well-known in Heijiao Commune.

If Liu Shengan could find Sun Wu, how could he know that he couldn't find Huang Hui and those two bastards?

Pressure can sometimes also be motivation. After returning to his grandmother's house, Wan Feng changed his daily schedule and decided to start practicing martial arts at night.

After dinner, Wan Feng did not go out to hang out with his uncle. Instead, he packed up and went to his own training ground by the Inna River.

He had to learn the wrestling routines in Zhang Guangpu's book as quickly as possible. Martial arts could not allow him to defeat the enemy in a short time, but wrestling could.

As long as he learned the routine, let Zhang Guangpu teach him how to use the moves, and then practice with him a few times, Wan Feng believed that knocking Liu Shengan down would not be a problem at all.

In the morning, he memorized a short routine mainly for training and practiced it over and over again without getting tired of it.

At this time, the sun has already set in the west, the sky is dim, and the world is in a hazy state.

Not far away, the Inna River flows silently, and a faint sound of water can be heard.

Wan Feng concentrated all his energy on the movements. His moves became more and more skillful and his movements became more and more smooth. His body seemed to merge with the environment.

Wan Feng stopped and breathed slightly.

There was a rustling sound in the sand behind him. Wan Feng instinctively turned his head and saw a black shadow rushing towards him.
