Chapter 8: The Heroine Seeks Protection

At night, Li Meng and Wu Ruirui fell asleep with their heads leaning against each other listening to the clanging sound of the train. Looking at the little girl opposite them breathing evenly, Pei Yu felt warm in his heart.

Thinking of the Fengyoujing that the little girl had handed me before, I took it out and dripped it on my fingers and smeared it on my temples. A cool feeling came over me, and I felt a lot more energetic. I took out a book from my bag and started reading in the dim light of the car.

When he was a child, his neighbor’s grandfather told him that everything can be stolen by others, but one’s own knowledge cannot be stolen, so no matter where he is, he should not forget to read more.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Hui rubbed his eyes and asked Pei Yu, "Brother Yu, what time is it now? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, and I wasn't sleepy either, so I didn't call you," Pei Yu was still reading a book, taking notes with a pen, without even raising his head!

"You should go to sleep soon. I'll watch over you. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to travel tomorrow," Zhou Hui asked Pei Yu to take a rest.

Li Meng woke up when it was just getting light, and seeing the man opposite her still looking so good even when he was asleep, she felt really good for the day.

I tiptoed to the toilet, turned around and entered my space, walked into my own little nest, originally wanted to take a hot bath, but was afraid that it would take too long and arouse suspicion from others, so I just wiped it casually, brushed my teeth and washed my face, went to the snack bar outside, ate fried dough sticks, drank soy milk, and took a few heating pads before coming out.

I arrived at my seat feeling refreshed. I had to wait until I got there to pick up the thick cotton coat that I had mailed. I was afraid that I would be wearing too thin clothes. If I felt cold, I would just put on a few hot packs as an emergency measure.

"You're awake. There are not many people at the sink now, so go and wash up," he reminded her when he saw that Wu Ruirui was still sleepy. If she didn't go now, there would be too many people and she wouldn't be able to squeeze through. Wu Ruirui grabbed the towel and rushed over.

The four of them got themselves ready. Li Meng took out the kettle, which contained the soy milk she brought out from the space. She poured a cup for Pei Yu, took out two eggs and stuffed them into his pocket. She handed the kettle to Zhou Hui and asked him to pour it himself. "You two worked hard last night. I saw that we should be there by tomorrow morning. Just hold on a little longer."

Wu Ruirui took over the conversation: "This is really unbearable suffering. My waist is about to break. When I get there, I won't do anything. Let me sleep for three days and three nights. I am in pain all over my body now," she said with a pout.

After the train had been running for the second day, it finally arrived at its destination. Several people got off the train. Li Meng stretched lazily, took a long breath of the cold air, and finally came back to life. Oh my god, she was finally breathing fresh air. The four people dragged their luggage out of the station. Mainly because Wu Ruirui's luggage alone was equal to the amount of luggage of Li Meng and Zhou Hui.

"Miss, why don't you move your family here?" Zhou Hui teased.

"Do you think I don't want to? It's just a pity that I can't bring him." Along with the sound of two people bickering, a group of four people arrived at the door of the local Youth League Office gathering point.

Looking at the young people carrying large and small bags gathering at the gate of the Youth Corps, I guess they are all educated youth who went to the countryside. After they gather, someone from each brigade will come to pick them up.

Suddenly, Pei Yu strode forward and shouted, "What are you doing? Put down the things in your hand." Li Meng saw a wretched dwarf stealing things from an old lady with a bag on her back on the road, and he reached into the old lady's bag to take something out.

Hearing the sound, the old lady also reacted and covered her bag. Unfortunately, the thing wrapped in the handkerchief inside was taken away by the thief, who ran away in a flash.

"Oh my God, this is my daughter's dowry, you damn bastard, give it back to me!" The old lady cried and chased after him. When she saw Pei Yu running up, Li Meng asked Zhou Hui to keep an eye on Wu Ruirui and the luggage and immediately ran after him.

The two of them chased the thief, one in front and one behind. The thief turned into a small alley, and Li Meng and the other man followed him in. When they entered the alley and saw that the short and wretched man stopped running, they whistled, and two people appeared at each end of the alley, making a total of five people including the thief.

"What's wrong, guys? Let's practice." They each took out a stick or a knife and walked towards them.

"Oh, the girl is pretty, with delicate skin and tender flesh. I wanted to rob her today, but I didn't expect that I could get both money and beauty today, hehe," Pei Yu whispered after listening to the wretched man's words, you run first, I'll deal with them!

Li Meng sneered. These few small squashes are not enough for her to fight with. She should act according to the situation! After that, she smiled and said to the five people, "I'm so scared. Looking at your sneaky looks, I get angry."

"Hey, you're still a little hot pepper. I like your type the best," he said as he walked closer and closer.

1 2 3, Li Meng counted silently, and when there was only one meter left, he suddenly took out the anti-wolf spray and sprayed it into the eyes of the five people. Then he lowered his head, picked up a wooden stick and threw it at Pei Yu. Then, he taught them a lesson and then swung the stick at the thieves.

"Auntie, please forgive us. We won't dare to do it again. It hurts my eyes so much. Ouch, stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you," the wretched little dwarf threw away the things he had just stolen from the old lady.

"Pei Yu, keep fighting, you bunch of blind dogs, it's your bad luck to have met me today." Looking at the domineering look of the little girl, I like her more and more, her rosy face is so cute.

The old lady also came over at this time, panting heavily from exhaustion. Li Meng put the things in the old lady's hands and said, "Auntie, check and see if anything is missing."

"My dear girl, thank you and the young man, I am so grateful. This is my daughter's dowry. If it's gone, how can my daughter get married? This will cost me my life. These people who are stabbed by money will be shot at."

Then Pei Yu tied the five thieves together with a hemp rope and dragged them to the police station, with old lady Li Meng following behind. When the police officer on duty at the police station saw this group of thieves, he was very happy.

They looked like rabbits with red eyes, with saliva and snot all over their bodies. The old lady stepped forward to explain the situation. The police praised them for their bravery and bravery in getting rid of a harm to the people. Li Meng and Pei Yu were still in a hurry to report, and said in unison, "This is what we should do. We still have to report to the educated youth point, so we left first."

The old lady thanked him again and again. The two of them came to the meeting place. The pick-up people had not arrived yet. Zhou Hui saw them and ran over quickly to ask if they were okay and if they were injured. Wu Ruirui also hurried over and took Li Meng's hand and looked left and right, fearing that she was missing a piece of meat.

It feels good to be cared for by others. Li Meng said proudly, "It won't take me long to deal with a few petty thieves. Don't worry."

Zhou Hui clasped his fists and joked: "The lady is so powerful, please protect us."

Watching waves of educated youth being picked up, those with better conditions were picked up by tractors, while those with worse conditions were picked up by ox carts,

Li Meng thought of the tractor he had ridden in modern times when he was a child, but had never ridden in an oxcart. He didn't know whether it was a tractor or an oxcart. A farmer in his forties with a weathered and honest face came in through the gate and shouted to the people inside, "Youth who are going to Huanglong Village, follow me."

The four of them followed him out carrying their luggage. "Uncle, the four of us are educated youth going to Huanglong Village." "Then put the luggage in the car," the uncle said and pointed to an ox cart parked across the road. Unfortunately, Liu Huan and Zhang Qiang were also from Huanglong Village.

"What bad luck," Wu Ruirui said in a low voice.

Thinking about living with these two people for several years, I almost vomited the food I had left overnight. In addition to these two people, there was a male educated youth and a female educated youth. Including them, there were eight people in total.
