Chapter 8: A Beating Makes Them Honest

Waited all night.

The families of those youths who were beaten unconscious didn't come to find trouble.

This made Feng Yuxiu put down the kitchen knife in his hand.

He completely understood this place.

Kill one or two people, throw them into a ditch casually.

It would be a cold case.

It was just that these villagers didn't make him generate the thought of slaughter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind slaughtering the whole family.

Killing for him was as simple as drinking water.

Dawn.

The chickens hadn't crowed yet.

Feng Yuxiu had already run several laps in the mountains.

Enlistment was in three days.

This was notified by the Village Chief.

Walking in the village, everyone avoided him.

"Really ruthless, all of them are unable to get off the bed."

"That's right, that kid from Zhao Pingzi's family is still unconscious."

Listening to the villagers' discussion.

Feng Yuxiu was expressionless, without any psychological fluctuations.

"San... Sanduo..."

Cheng Cai cat-walked out from the corner of the wall, lowering his head and not daring to look.

Feng Yuxiu didn't stop at all and continued to walk toward Xu Baishun's house.

This appearance made Cheng Cai's face turn pale.

He happened to see the Village Chief leading several people from the Village Affairs Committee brushing slogans about planting trees on the wall.

Cheng Cai saw it and hurriedly ran up.

"Dad, I don't want to be a soldier anymore."

Cheng Cai said with his head lowered.

"This character, you have to write it vertically... Cheng Cai, go back and tell your mom that I won't eat lunch."

The Village Chief continued to sift characters on his own.

"I said, I don't want to be a soldier anymore!"

Cheng Cai blocked the Village Chief's way.

The villagers brushing the wall were stunned, looked at each other, and revealed surprised expressions.

The Village Chief was stunned, put down the brush in his hand, tilted his head, and stared at Cheng Cai, "Cheng Cai, you are a high school graduate, this is a high academic qualification, being a soldier is your way out. Didn't you also like being a soldier since you were a child?"

Cheng Cai lowered his head and muttered, "I'm afraid Xu Sanduo will beat me."

"What did you say?" The Village Chief seemed not to have heard clearly.

Cheng Cai paused, "I'm afraid Xu Sanduo will beat me!"

The Village Chief laughed in anger and slapped Cheng Cai on the back of the head.

"Such a small runt, what are you afraid of him for? Once you get to the army, you can become a Regimental Commander very quickly with your ability. By then, won't you be the one calling the shots? The limelight will always be our family's, remember that!"

"Tell you, if they say they want you, you're hooked up with the country, that's called... called state-owned property! See that?"

Cheng Cai looked at the slogans just written on the wall: Cutting down trees means going to jail!

"Cutting down trees means going to jail! Not going also means going to jail!" The Village Chief said every word clearly and forcefully.

Cheng Cai thought of Feng Yuxiu's fierce and ruthless appearance yesterday, his eyes turned red, and he almost cried.

"Crying also means going to jail!"

"Go back!"

Cheng Cai was scolded back by the Village Chief.

Turning around, he took out a box of Chonghua cigarettes from his bosom with a smile and distributed them to the two villagers.

"I'll treat you to lunch."

The two villagers revealed smiles, naturally knowing that the Village Chief didn't want others to know about Cheng Cai's cowardice.

These three days.

Feng Yuxiu familiarized himself with the internal skill technique day and night.

The moment dawn jumped from the mountain top on the third day.

He opened his eyes abruptly.

"Ha!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a breath of white air.

His chest made a muffled sound like thunder.

"Internal skill technique is already proficient. Finally found the technique from back then, but external martial arts cannot be mastered overnight."

Feng Yuxiu stood up and stretched.

He took a deep breath, the air of this era was exceptionally clear.

He spent these three days piecing together the internal skill technique.

At least he could practice the hundred skeletons every day and forge his heart and lungs.

"Sanduo, gather at the Village Chief's house!"

Xu Yile stood on the dam and shouted loudly.

Feng Yuxiu looked into the distance.

Finally about to walk out of this mountain.

Truly facing this era!

This era full of various opportunities.

——

"Slap, slap!"

The Village Chief crossed his legs and cracked melon seeds.

Xu Baishun lay carelessly in the Village Chief's humble home, his black socks having a hole.

His thumb stretched out from the hole, his black toe making a clicking sound on the big red quilt.

The Village Chief's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't say much.

He could only pour a cup of tea and open his mouth with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the county station to see off Cheng Cai and Sanduo. These are the military transfers and big red flowers brought by the comrades from the Armed Forces Department."

Cheng Cai's eyes had long been fixed on the green military uniform on the table.

"Cheng Cai, come, put it on for Dad to see!"

The Village Chief looked at the name, took out Cheng Cai's military uniform, and threw it over.

Cheng Cai excitedly walked out of the upper room to the bedroom to change clothes.

The Village Chief leaned against the chair triumphantly and smiled, "Baishun, in the future, you and I can be considered people who can talk in the village. We must take care of each other."

Xu Baishun glanced at him and felt his nose itch, so he wiped his snot on the quilt.

The Village Chief suddenly felt his throat itch.

He stood up directly and walked to the side of the earthen bed, "Get down, get down, you're too filthy."

"I'm not happy to sleep anyway."

Xu Baishun walked to the chair in his flat-bottomed shoes and sat down.

He picked up the Village Chief's Chonghua cigarette, "I say you, take less bribes."

The Village Chief was anxious and snatched it back, "Screw your mother, this is from my cigarette shop. Didn't you see I recently opened a department store?"

"Oh, then what are you anxious about?"

The Village Chief was too lazy to argue with this kind of person who received the five guarantees.

Turning around, he saw Cheng Cai walk in.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

That upright body, that radiant face.

"Dad!"

Cheng Cai saluted in a not-so-standard way, his voice exceptionally bright and clear.

"Good, good, good, good!!"

The Village Chief was overjoyed, suddenly feeling that life was straight.

"Proud of what? My turtle son is also a soldier."

Xu Baishun couldn't stand others having what he didn't, and sneered.

"Yo, with that physique of your Sanduo, even if he put on a dragon robe, he wouldn't look like a crown prince."

The Village Chief sneered as usual.

"Dad, Sanduo is here."

Xu Yile walked in from the doorway with a cigarette in his mouth.

Behind him was the expressionless Feng Yuxiu.

Xu Baishun finally revealed a smile, "Turtle son, why did you just arrive? Come over, this is the military uniform given by the Armed Forces Department."

Feng Yuxiu walked into the house.

He swept his gaze.

Cheng Cai, who was just standing upright like a big rooster, lowered his head instantly.

But the long-term sense of superiority in his heart still made him raise his head.

Since childhood, this Third Dullard in front of him had been the object of his bullying.

How could he be bluffed by him.

Yesterday must have been an illusion.

Yes, definitely.

"Hmm, take it away."

Feng Yuxiu picked up the military uniform on the table and walked out of the house.

"Third Dullard!"

Cheng Cai shouted.

Feng Yuxiu didn't stop at all and left the house straight.

Cheng Cai felt a breath stuck in his chest.

"Tell your Cheng Cai to be polite to my turtle son in the future, they are all soldiers!"

Xu Baishun said coldly.

"Yile, in the future, if you see anyone scolding the turtle son, beat them directly, you know?"

Xu Yile lowered his head cautiously and didn't dare to speak in the Village Chief's house.

This inferior appearance made Xu Baishun angry.

Midnight.

Cheng Cai was getting angrier the more he thought about it.

He walked out of the door toward Xu Baishun's house.

But he happened to meet Feng Yuxiu.

"Third Dullard, what are you doing here?" Cheng Cai hid the stone in his pocket; this was what he had prepared to smash the glass of Xu Baishun's house.

Feng Yuxiu's gaze was cold, his tone stiff, "You little runt, you scolded me during the day, I thought about it and it's not right."

"In this era, how can you always be stepped on the nose."

Cheng Cai felt something was wrong; the tone of this Third Dullard was too scary.

Just as he wanted to run, he was hit by something in the face.

Gold stars began to appear before his eyes, and he lay straight on the ground.

——

"Cheng Cai? Sleep early, we're going to the county town tomorrow."

The Village Chief put on his military coat and got up, seeing the light in Cheng Cai's room still on, he shouted.

"Got it."

Cheng Cai's voice was a bit low.

The Village Chief revealed a smile, nodded, and returned to his room.

"Damn it! How could that Third Dullard suddenly be so fierce."

Cheng Cai kept tearing up newspapers to wipe his nose; his nasal bone had been fractured by Feng Yuxiu. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====

"Damn it! How could that blockhead suddenly be so fierce?"

Cheng Cai kept tearing up newspaper to wipe his nose; his nasal bone had been fractured by Feng Yuxiu.
