Lu Shi, who was standing outside the door, was turned away for the first time in his life. He stared at the door quietly for two seconds, with no emotion on his face, and then walked out of the alley.
Lu Shi quickly arrived at Ward 203 of the People's Hospital. Wu Huani was lying weakly on the bed with a bandage on her head.
When she saw the person coming, her eyes lit up instantly and her face was full of smiles. Unfortunately, the spots on her face lowered her appearance.
"Brother Seventeen, are you here to see me?"
"Here are two hundred dollars as compensation for you. From now on, don't go to Electric Alley again."
After Lu Shi finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, his steps hurried as if someone was chasing him.
As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Lu Shi met two acquaintances, who were also the people who sent Wu Huani to the hospital yesterday - Ling Dagang and Wu Youming.
Seeing the two of them, Lu Shi's brows frowned instantly. The two men seemed not to notice Lu Shi's impatience and came to Lu Shi in two steps.
"Seventeen, are you here to see Hua Ni?"
"I'm here to give her the compensation and tell Dongzi and the others not to come to my house again. Also, I'll personally handle things with Uncle Hei."
Lu Shi's words of distancing himself from the matter dampened the joy of the two people, and Ling Dagang regained his serious expression.
"Seventeen, are you really not following Uncle Hei anymore?"
"Yes, I want to live a good life."
After Lu Shi finished speaking, he left, leaving Ling Dagang and Wu Youming looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Shi's nickname is Lu Shiqi, he is 23 years old this year. His hometown is in Dong Province. His family used to be a small landlord family. In 1956, his family property and land were divided up, and most of his family members were killed or injured in that movement.
Lu Shi's grandmother took him out of the tunnel. The two of them begged for food along the way and finally arrived at Zaolin Village, Weiyu City.
The villagers of Zaolin Village were simple in character and had a sparse population. When they saw what happened to the grandfather and grandson, they thought they were refugees from famine and felt very sympathetic towards them. So, the two chose to settle down in Zaolin Village.
At that time, household registration was not checked very strictly, so Grandma Lu used the only thing she had - a silver ring - to exchange for two household registrations.
From then on, the two men settled down in the village. In the beginning, their food and drink were borrowed from the production team. Later, they learned to farm, dig wild vegetables, and pickle pickles, and their lives gradually improved.
During the three years of famine, Grandma Lu almost starved to death in order to feed her grandson. Lu Shi saw it and kept it in mind.
By chance, he met Uncle Hei in the black market. The first impression of Uncle Hei was that he was a kind and gentle person like Maitreya Buddha. But after a long time, he realized that he was a hungry wolf who would eat people without leaving any bones.
Because of his previous experience of fleeing famine, Lu Shi has always been very cautious.
At the beginning, he only helped to introduce some customers to the black market, but gradually, he was even sent to handle important matters such as receiving goods.
At the beginning, Lu Shi was very happy. He thought he had gained Uncle Hei's trust, and a group of younger brothers gradually gathered around him.
How can a poor person become rich? People always become arrogant, and Lu Shi is the same. He thought he had become Uncle Hei's right-hand man, and he became more concerned about the black market business. He even got 20% of the shares of the black market.
Lu Shi thought he was on the road to success, but who knew that beneath the flourishing scene was a raging fire and a road to death.
On this day, as usual, Lu Shi was sent to the old place to meet with customers. The moment he finished counting the goods, Lu Shi was surrounded by the police.
Without any warning, Lu Shi was sentenced to three years in prison for speculation and profiteering. During this period, he was always looking forward to someone visiting him in prison and asking Uncle Hei to help take care of his grandmother.
As a result, he didn't see anyone for three years. In prison, he learned to fight and be aggressive, and learned to bow his head in front of the police. He was looking forward to getting out as soon as possible to take care of his grandmother.
In that dark and heavily guarded prison, Lu Shi unexpectedly met a unique person - the uncle who used to be a teacher. Although he is now in prison, he still exudes an elegant and easy-going temperament.
The uncle's name is Li Hua. When he was young, he taught at a well-known university for many years.
However, fate played a trick on him. A street fight changed the trajectory of his life and eventually led to him being sentenced to prison.
Despite losing his freedom, Li Hua did not give up on himself. Instead, he used this time to continue studying and passed on what he had learned to his fellow inmates who were willing to learn.
Lu Shi is one of them. He is eager for knowledge and takes the initiative to ask Li Hua various questions every day.
Li Hua was also very happy to share his wisdom and experience. The two of them were both teachers and friends, and spent many unforgettable times together.
In this way, several years passed, and Lu Shi learned a wealth of cultural knowledge and ways of dealing with people from Li Hua.
These valuable treasures not only broadened his horizons but also made him stronger and more resilient. All of this was inseparable from the help and guidance given by the kind and talented uncle, Li Hua...
As for why a teacher fought, the uncle kept his mouth shut and was unwilling to say. Lu Shi did not ask any further. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
In fact, when Grandma Lu heard at home that her grandson had been taken away, she became so angry that she fell ill and died. The villagers helped with her funeral.
However, Lu Shi didn't know about this. He was looking forward to returning home as soon as possible.
In these three years, Lu Shi learned to endure and to let go.
No one came to visit him in prison. At first, Lu Shigang was angry and unbelievable. Normally, so many of his brothers were always at his beck and call, but he didn't expect that they would disappear as soon as he fell into trouble.
Gradually, Lu Shi learned to be patient. He once thought that when he got out, he would not let them go.
Later, his heart gradually calmed down. It is human nature to be forgotten when people leave. Although those people did not come to see him, it was also a kind of growth for him to see through the warmth and coldness of human nature early.
As for Uncle Hei, he was very kind to him and this incident was probably his doing. Three years would be enough to repay him.
From now on, he plans to live a down-to-earth life and be filial to his grandmother.
When Lu Shi walked out of the prison and saw the sunlight again, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Being able to breathe the free air again, smell the fragrance of the dust in the air, and feel the warmth of the sun, Lu Shi felt like he was alive again.
Lu Shi walked home with a cheerful pace. He hadn't seen his grandmother for three years and didn't know how she was doing or whether she had been living well these years. He felt both excited and nervous.
