When Fatty and Benleihu pushed open the door, Qinlonghu was lying on the bed again, like a walking corpse, unmoved.
The fat man looked around but didn't see yesterday's cigarettes, alcohol, or malted milk powder in his room, and then he understood everything.
The fat man sighed and led the Thunder Tiger towards that room.
Sure enough, there was a brand new wheelchair parked at the entrance.
Without a word, the fat man pushed it away. The woman screamed like a madwoman, "What are you doing! Put it down! This is my stuff!"
Seeing that the fat man wouldn't listen, he started yelling even louder: "Help! Robbers! They're stealing our things! They're killing us!"
The fat man loathed her to the extreme, too lazy to say another word, only shouting: "Thunder Tiger!"
Ben Lei Hu swiftly pulled a weapon from his satchel and held it gleamingly to her neck: "Scream again? Scream one more time and I'll stab you in the back, you believe me?"
The elder brother of the dragon-catching tiger recognized the fat man and stammered, "What, what's going on here?"
The fat man sighed: "I bought this wheelchair. I'm here to pick up Qin Longhu. I'll take care of him from now on."
His older brother wanted to say something, but upon hearing this, the woman, no longer afraid of the knife, shrieked, "You said it yourself! Get him out of here right now and never let him come back, or else, or else you..."
The Thunder Tiger scared him off, and he stopped talking.
Benleihu made a chopping motion: "Didn't you say I didn't seem like a good person? Today I'll show you!"
After his brother, the Dragon-Capturing Tiger, begged and pleaded with him, the Thunder Tiger finally gave up.
The fat man pushed the wheelchair to the door, went inside, and slapped Qin Longhu across the neck, completely stunning him. He grabbed Qin Longhu, enduring the stench emanating from him, and helped him into the wheelchair.
After taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, he asked Qinlonghu's older brother, "I brought you the cigarettes and alcohol yesterday, but you need to get those two cans of malted milk powder out for me."
Qinlonghu's brother blushed with embarrassment and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Sold."
"..."
The fat man gave them a deep look, then pushed the Dragon-Capturing Tiger out of the courtyard.
Benleihu, carrying a knife, saw a cardboard box containing a wheelchair next to him, went over and stabbed it, leaving two holes in it, a clear warning.
Even after walking for a while, Benleihu was still indignant: "Damn it, is this even human? I've never seen anyone like this in all my years of life."
Seeing that the fat man remained silent, and after walking a little further, Benleihu couldn't help but ask him, "Why did you help him?"
The fat man said in a deep voice, "I used to be incompetent, so I could only hide in a corner and remain silent, then slander and ridicule those who were braver than me; later I realized I was wrong, terribly wrong, because the light they fought for might just shine on me."
Benleihu pondered the fat man's words carefully for a long time before finally speaking: "So that's your reason for helping him?"
The fat man glared at him: "Of course not! I just did that to show how capable I am, and also because I'm a loyal friend!"
Awakened from his wheelchair-bound state, Qin Longhu muttered weakly, "Loyalty can knock me out? Forget about it..."
This made Fatty and Thunder Tiger burst into laughter.
He can't go back to his home, and he can't be without someone to take care of him.
After discussing it with his family, the fat man decided to arrange for him to stay at Benleihu's house.
After arresting the Yan brothers, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, Fatty and the Yan family were completely at odds. It was no longer appropriate for Benleihu to rent his small house, so he simply moved back.
Now his place is like a single dormitory, with three single men living there.
That very evening, Benleihu and Yuqian took Qinlonghu to the bathhouse and scrubbed him thoroughly; they almost rubbed off a layer of his skin before finally getting rid of the smell...
The next day, Fatty called his cousin, and together with Benleihu, they pushed Qinlonghu. The four of them took a bus and got off near the rubber factory. They then pushed Qinlonghu to find Zhang Qian.
At the chess stall, we ran into Grandpa Qian and his friends again. Several old men gathered around and took turns playing the "Catch the Dragon and Tiger" game. Grandpa Qian said, "Look at this kid, all muscle. If he went to the train station to carry a big guy and work as a porter, he'd be perfect for it, I'm telling you!"
Qin Longhu's face turned bright red. If his leg hadn't been broken, he would have gotten up much earlier...
Grandpa Qian was very blunt: "Look at you, you look so pathetic! You only have one crippled leg, right? Back when we came down from Shangganling, our whole company was missing an arm or a leg, but none of us were like you, sitting in this thing at such a young age!"
The fat men and their companions held Grandpa Qian in high esteem; he was a veteran!
On the way to find Zhang Qian, Grandpa Qian put on a show of force: "A person has to have spirit! As long as you have spirit, you can overcome any difficulty. Look at Qianqian, she can't even see, but she can still run and jump. When she trains for sprints, even normal people can't catch up with her! And look at you, with your head drooping. It's a good thing you're not my son, or I would have broken your other leg too!"
This old man really doesn't know how to have a conversation.
When they found Zhang Qian, she was training again. Grandpa Qian said that as long as it doesn't rain, she exercises almost every morning.
Qinlonghu watched helplessly as Zhang Qian's father ran to the inside and held her hand as they ran together on the track.
That sprinting speed was definitely faster than when he had all his whiskers and tail!
Of course! Others might not know, but Fatty certainly does.
This young woman named Zhang Qian, besides jumping 4.28 meters and winning the gold medal in the B2 women's long jump at the 3rd World Paralympic Games, also...
In 1986, she won three gold medals in the 100-meter, 400-meter and long jump events at the 4th Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled!
They're incredibly capable! That's why they're now swaggering over to find them...
Hearing that someone had arrived, Zhang Qian stopped training.
Her father led her over, touched the Dragon-Taming Tiger wheelchair, and simply said, "Drop it, stand up, and train with me from now on."
After saying that, Zhang Qian went back to training with her father.
On the way back, on the bus, Fatty glanced at Qin Longhu. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that Qin Longhu's eyes seemed to have a light in them again.
※※※※※※
April has arrived again, with its gentle breezes, bright sunshine, and ever-changing colors.
The spring breeze grew warmer day by day, gently blowing across the empty playground and even ruffling a few strands of her hair.
Qinlonghu, who was doing strength training, happened to see this scene. His heart, which was already beating rapidly due to the intense exercise, felt as if someone had squeezed it!
