Qi Jianping squinted his eyes helplessly at a 45-degree angle, "Ge Nie is interested in her and is pursuing her."
Qi's mother was mute. Five seconds later, she asked, "Did you catch up?"
Qi Jianping shook his head. "Wang Shuning has no interest in Ge Nie. He is too eager to do anything."
"Then your chance has come. Let's go back and treat her to a meal and get closer to her."
Qi Jianping stopped his mother and winked at his father, telling him that he didn't have to worry about not finding a wife. Just like Ge Nie said, there were many unmarried girls in the compound hanging around him all day long.
But I am not interested in them. Girls are too delicate and will give me the cold shoulder if I say a few wrong words.
Ge Nie said that the girl was just acting coquettishly and wanted a man to coax her, but Qi Jianping found it boring.
Qi's father put his arm around Qi's mother's back and said, "The girl is shopping with her friends, so it's inconvenient for her to eat today. Wait until Jianping catches her and brings her back. Then we can talk about the marriage directly. Wouldn't it be better?"
Qi's mother pursed her lips and earnestly warned Qi Jianping: "Okay, you better hurry up, good girls are always wanted, I'm still waiting to hold my grandson."
Qi Jianping didn't want to talk.
Zhang Meili stared at Wang Shuning, "If you date someone in the county, what will you do when you return to the city?"
Wang Shuning's nerves twitched. "We're just ordinary friends, not what you think."
Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu walked slowly towards them from a distance, and their eyes were full of happiness and affection when they looked into each other's eyes.
Several people were holding something in their hands, and they were going to go see a movie.
The Chaoyang County Cinema is rather simple, with no seats with backrests, only bamboo chairs, and a white curtain hanging on the front wall.
Apart from films about rural labor and life, the only films shown in cinemas were war films.
Wang Shuning chose war films and rural labor life films which were completely true portrayals of their current situation in the countryside, and he really had no interest in them.
Wang Shuning and Guo Jingyi, two people from the 21st century, were fascinated by movies made decades ago. It was because there was a lack of entertainment options at that time.
Wang Shuning rushed forward and looked back. It was the person sitting behind him who stretched out his legs and kicked his chair.
When the man saw Wang Shuning looking at him, he quickly lowered his eyes and retracted his legs.
When Wang Shuning turned around, he saw someone quietly approaching Guo Jingyi from behind and trying to take the plastic bag she placed at her feet.
Wang Shuning stood up and grabbed the man's wrist, "What are you going to do?"
The man suddenly waved Wang Shuning's hand away, grabbed the bag and ran towards the cinema entrance.
Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu chased after him immediately.
The other three didn't even bother to watch the movie and ran out immediately.
How could someone steal clothes in public? Shouldn't thieves choose crowded places to steal things?
Movie tickets were 20 cents each and there weren't many people there, so it was easy to be spotted.
When the three men arrived, there were eight hooligans standing in front of Lu Beichu, holding long thick sticks in their hands, and the red woolen wedding dress was being cut by one of them with scissors.
The clothes were of good quality. A small hole was cut with a pair of scissors. The man grimaced and tore it open, using all his strength.
Guo Jingyi's tears fell from her eyes. That was the dress she wore when she got married, and now the dress was torn.
Lu Beichu was so angry that he rushed forward to beat the thief who cut the wedding dress, regardless of the fact that the other party outnumbered him.
But how could he possibly beat eight people alone? In less than a minute, he was beaten with sticks and his whole body was covered with wounds.
Zhao Heping turned around and told Zhang Meili and Wang Shuning, "Stay in hiding and don't come out."
Without caring about his newly healed leg, he rushed to save Lu Beichu.
Zhang Meili's eyes widened. "How could a thief have so many people behind him?"
There were only two people, Lu Beichu and Zhao Heping, and they had no weapons in their hands. If they rushed forward, they would just get beaten.
Wang Shuning watched them fighting in a group. They were not thieves at all. The clothes were so expensive, but they were cut into pieces. They were here to seek revenge, and their target was Guo Jingyi.
Seeing Zhao Heping vomiting blood after being beaten, Wang Shuning put the things he bought at his feet and said to Zhang Meili, "I'll go call the police."
I rushed to the Public Security Bureau and found the guard at the door dozing off.
Wang Shuning knocked on the window to wake the man up, "Officer, there is a robbery over there. Two of my friends were beaten by eight thugs and their heads are bleeding. They are about to die."
The police officer hurriedly put on his hat, rushed into the police station, and soon ran with five people following Wang Shuning.
"He's right inside. I think he's almost dead." Wang Shuning pointed to the alley ahead and asked them to clear the way. He couldn't run as fast as the police, and the alley was narrow, so he was blocking the way if he ran in front.
Lu Beichu and Zhao Heping had been knocked to the ground. Although they had no strength to resist, those people continued to hit them with sticks.
Guo Jingyi stood alone on the side. The hooligans didn't hit her, but she was already very scared.
"The police are here." One of the hooligans shouted, and the others immediately ran away with sticks.
The police chased after them and left two behind to check on Lu Beichu and Zhao Heping.
Lu Beichu's nose and mouth were bleeding, his face was covered with bruises, and wherever he touched his body, it hurt.
Zhao Heping was relatively better off. After he realized he couldn't win, he just curled up with his knees hugged, and all the injuries were on his back.
Guo Jingyi sobbed and cried on the ground, "Bei Chu, how are you? How are you?"
Lu Beichu's voice was very weak, "It's okay, Jingyi, don't worry."
Wang Shuning looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. Zhang Meili came out from behind the wall, hugging her arms and feeling cold.
They were just out shopping, how could it end up like this!
After the inspection, the police officer stood up and glanced at Wang Shuning, "He's seriously injured. He needs to be sent to the hospital."
In the end, the two were dragged to the hospital by the police on a cart.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Zhao Heping's back was full of skin injuries. Lu Beichu's condition was much worse. His right arm and left leg were both fractured, plus he had stick injuries all over his body. He was hospitalized for a week with intravenous drips to observe his condition.
The doctor even said that if the nose bleeding could not be stopped, he would have to be sent to the city hospital.
The police arrived at the hospital in the afternoon. “The alleys are interconnected, and those guys are familiar with the route. They ran too fast, so we didn’t catch them.”
Wang Shuning opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged policeman carefully, "You didn't catch any one?"
The police officer nodded. "Do you remember the faces of those eight people? Describe their appearance in detail and draw their portraits. I will notify you if we catch them."
Zhang Meili confirmed, "I remember the appearance of those people very clearly. One of them had a large black mole on his face, which was particularly obvious."
"Just remember it. I'll call the portrait artist in." The middle-aged policeman shouted towards the door of the ward, and a police officer carrying a drawing board walked in.
He sat on a stool with a drawing board in his hand and looked at the three girls who were still awake.
Guo Jingyi walked up to the portrait artist and carefully described the appearance of the eight people, fearing that she would forget any details.
It took two hours to finish the eight portraits. Lu Beichu, who was on an IV drip, fell asleep due to the pain.
