From the provincial road, you have to go through a section of gravel road before you reach Jinma Town.
There are fewer cars these days, and even fewer cars passing this gravel road. Often, not a single car passes for an hour.
The road is wide, there are few cars, and no people are visible.
However, the car couldn't pass, it was difficult to turn around, and there was no other way to go.
Zhou Weiguang turned off the car and told Qin Hanshu in a deep voice, "Stay in the car."
Qin Hanshu held him back and said, "Let's turn around." Although it was a bit difficult, it was not dangerous.
"It's okay." Zhou Weiguang patted her hand comfortingly, then took off his military uniform and touched his gun.
He jumped out of the car and shouted, "Everyone, please give me a way!"
Those who engage in group fights are obviously not good people, and Zhou Weiguang has no intention of interfering in their affairs.
However, the road belongs to everyone, so there is no reason for him to avoid it.
As for danger...this is not a big deal for him.
Those who were fighting stopped, and when they saw the military vehicle behind Zhou Weiguang, they all became serious and moved to the sides, with no intention of picking a fight.
They all knew that there was a security area nearby, so how could they be so stupid as to cause trouble for the troops?
"Thank you very much."
Zhou Weiguang clasped his fists and wanted to go back to the car, but was stopped by someone.
"Brother Zhou, since we've met, why don't you give me a ride?"
Zhou Weiguang looked at the man who was speaking in confusion.
The man was very tall, standing out from the crowd, with a bruised face and nose. There was also a thin man next to him, whose injuries were more serious than his, with blood all over his face.
Zhou Weiguang took a quick glance and knew what was going on.
There were more than a dozen people fighting, divided into two groups. The man who stopped him and the person next to him were obviously from the same group and were seriously injured.
The three words "Brother Zhou" that the tall man called out sounded so familiar that when he was called, Zhou Weiguang even had the illusion that this man really knew him.
But after a moment, he realized that the man was just gambling.
These two men were unarmed, but almost everyone on the other side was holding weapons like iron rods, and there were more people.
If the fight continues, it is possible that we will lose our lives here.
The other group of people fighting was led by a bald man. He was surprised at first, but then seemed to react and looked closely at Zhou Weiguang and the tall man.
When Zhou Weiguang was considering the pros and cons, he heard Qin Hanshu's voice behind him.
"It's you, Xiao Zhang. Since we've met, I'll give you a ride."
Zhou Weiguang reacted quickly and continued naturally: "Your face was bruised and swollen, I didn't even realize it was you. Let's go, get in the car."
The two men hurriedly ran to the car. The thin man wanted to pick up the bicycle that fell on the side of the road, but was stopped by the tall one.
The bald man looked very suspicious, but after hesitating for a few times, he finally did not stop him.
Even if Zhou Weiguang was really meddling in other people's affairs, he didn't dare to say anything.
There is no other reason. I can’t afford to offend him.
There's no need to provoke.
The jeep wobbled past a group of people. The bald man stared fiercely at the tall man in the car window and gave him the middle finger.
He is lucky today!
In the car, Qin Hanshu looked at the two people from the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
The tall man shook his head. "It's just a superficial wound, no big deal. Just drop us off in town."
Qin Hanshu nodded, "Okay."
After a while, the tall man said again: "My name is Huo Zhenduo, I live in Hongyang Village, and I'm an unemployed vagrant. Thank you for what I did today, I will repay you for your kindness."
This person is Huo Zhenduo.
There were too many people fighting just now, and Huo Zhenduo's face was injured again. Qin Hanshu had to look at him for a long time before he could barely recognize him.
If it was someone he didn't know, Qin Hanshu wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
But Huo Zhenduo...she thought about it and decided to lend a hand.
Regardless of whether this person is good or bad, he is a man who will repay a favor.
Help him once and let him owe you this favor; it might be helpful for the next thing.
Anyway, it was just a coincidence that they met, so it wouldn’t have any impact on Zhou Weiguang.
However, he had to pretend not to know Huo Zhenduo.
After listening to Huo Zhenduo's self-introduction, Qin Han was surprised, "Unemployed vagrant? How could that be?"
In cities of this era, almost everyone has a job, and there are very few unemployed people.
Although Hongyang Village is called a village and has farmland, it is actually located in an area where urban and rural areas meet. Several factories gathered here at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Except for a few original villagers, the people living there are basically factory workers.
When someone from Hongyang Village comes out, other people's first reaction is that he is a factory worker, not a farmer.
Qin Hanshu knew that although Huo Zhenduo had lost both his parents, he was a factory worker with a good family background. He became an unemployed vagrant because he secretly ran back from the countryside where he had been sent to work.
But she has to play the whole role.
Huo Zhenduo did not hide his identity.
There are many educated youth like him.
Qin Hanshu didn't ask any more questions.
The car fell silent for a moment.
After a while, another thin man muttered, "That White Pigeon belongs to my sister. I rode it for her and didn't take it back. She wanted to tear me apart."
Huo Zhenduo said impatiently: "I'll compensate you with a new one."
The thin man waved his hands quickly, "It's not your fault, Brother Huo, how can I ask you to pay for it... If you want to pay, you should ask Baldy Chen to pay it!"
Huo Zhenduo pressed his tongue against his cheek, feeling the taste of rust in his mouth, and his eyes turned cold.
"Brother Huo, Baldy Chen led his men to ambush us today..."
Before the thin man could finish his words, Huo Zhenduo raised his hand to stop him, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The thin man also realized that the occasion was not right and stopped talking.
When they arrived at Jinma Town, Zhou Weiguang stopped the car and dropped off Huo Zhenduo and the other man.
Before leaving, Huo Zhenduo said, "I live in the staff quarters of the steel plant. If you need any help, feel free to come find me."
Zhou Weiguang nodded lightly, and Qin Hanshu didn't say much.
The jeep drove away.
Huo Zhenduo looked at the back of the car twice before leaving with the thin man.
On this side, Zhou Weiguang seemed to be hesitant to speak to Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Are you asking me why I'm meddling in other people's business?"
"That's not the case," Zhou Weiguang shook his head. "What I want to say is that, although I am here today, it's fine. But if you encounter this kind of situation alone in the future, you must stay away from it and don't be kind."
In Zhou Weiguang's eyes, Qin Hanshu saved Huo Zhenduo for no other reason than that she was too kind!
Qin Hanshu coughed and nodded uncomfortably.
Zhou Weiguang was still worried and said, "If you go out alone, don't go to sparsely populated places."
"Yeah." Qin Hanshu nodded slightly and shook Zhou Weiguang's hand.
In the car, Zhou Weiguang didn't have so many concerns. He just grabbed the little hand that came to his door and rubbed it hard a few times.
Zhou Weiguang dropped Qin Hanshu off at the gate of the staff quarters and went back to the car.
Qin Hanshu went home first.
As she entered the corridor, she heard a loud quarrel.
