Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 720 The unlucky Zhang Yaozu

What is going on? Why was Zhang Yaozu being chased by seven or eight people, as if he had a deep hatred?

It didn't take much thinking about the situation in front of him to know that Zhang Yaozu would not get any good results after being caught up by these people. Han Li didn't bother to think about what was going on, and turned to He Mi and the others.

"You guys should close the door and take a rest first. I'll go see what's going on with Zhang Yaozu."

"Then be careful."

"Ah."

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, he ran out, but what he didn't expect was that when he ran out of the guest house, he could no longer see Zhang Yaozu's shadow.

Han Li ran in that direction for a while before he realized that Zhang Yaozu had turned into an alley. Han Li really didn't know if Zhang Yaozu had lost his mind. When being chased and beaten, shouldn't he run towards a place with a lot of people or police officers? What's the point of getting into an alley now? If this is a dead end, wouldn't he become the turtle in the urn?
But now that Han Li has discovered their traces, it is relatively easy to catch up with him at his speed.

From the process of running, Han Li could tell that these were ordinary people. Even if they were together, they were no match for him.

However, Zhang Yaozu was not in any danger at the moment, and Han Li did not intend to shout loudly and act like a hero outnumbered. You must know that there is a word in this world called "just in case."

Anyone who thinks highly of themselves can easily fall for the one in 10,000 chance. This is the old saying of "capsulating in the gutter". Master Li can be said to be a living example in front of Han Li.

Therefore, Han Li decided to use the easiest and safest way to solve the problem at hand, sneak attacks and defeat them one by one. The smaller the opponent's number, the higher his safety.

Han Li didn't say a word during the chase. When he caught up with the last person in the group, he directly punched the person and knocked him unconscious. The inertia of running forward made the person faint and get out. So far.

However, the plan did not change quickly. Han Li originally planned to follow the script and beat most of the people before calling out to Zhang Yaozu. However, except for the unlucky guy who was at the back just now, everyone else was very close to each other and basically did not defeat them one by one. opportunity, so he shouted at Zhang Yaozu while attacking the remaining people.

"Yang Zirong, stop running away, turn around and beat them."

Han Li yelled like this because he didn't know the situation, so he couldn't call out Zhang Yaozu's name.
But who is Yang Zirong? Zhang Yaozu has been Zhang Yaozu’s idol for many years. For this dream, he traveled from the far south to the far north.

Although Zhang Yaozu was born late and did not have the opportunity to realize this dream for many years, the song he sang most in the past two years was still Lin Haixueyuan, and the one he talked about most was Yang Zirong.

Han Li's voice was heard by both parties. When Zhang Yaozu heard Han Li's voice, his expression on his face was stunned for a second and then he was overjoyed. He reached out and grabbed the big broom placed next to the wall, stopped running forward and turned around to counterattack.

These people in Shanghai didn't take Han Li's shouts seriously at first. What about Yang Zirong? I'm still sitting on a mountain eagle.

But when they saw Zhang Yaozu approaching with a big broom, the leader stopped and started shouting.

"Brothers, find some guy to beat up this little red guy."

However, his words did not receive a response from his companion behind him. What came to his ears was the sound of crackling blows and a brief scream. When the one who gave the order reacted and turned around, a white-skinned man appeared. The fist came into view, and this became the last scene before he fell into coma.

Before he fell down, he was still thinking that this Nan*zi named Yang Zirong, who did not have martial ethics, actually had an ambush hidden here. No wonder he would run into this alley.

At this time, Zhang Yaozu had just rushed forward with a big broom and looked at Han Li and said excitedly.

"Brother Han, your skills are really amazing. You defeated them all in less than half a minute."

"I was attacking you from behind. It's nothing. But what's going on? Why are you being chased and beaten?"

Just when Zhang Yaozu was about to answer, a large group of enthusiastic and righteous local people poured in from the direction they came from. They shouted as they ran here.

"Hurry up, I see more than ten people chasing a man who speaks bird language."

"Birds singing? Foreigners?"

"He's not a foreigner. He seems to be from the south."

"Then it's even worse. No matter what the reason is, we can't watch the children from other places having trouble in our land. Run and stop them."

Before the elder brother could tell that the attacker was also an outsider, everyone else had already rushed into the alley.

At this time, there was also movement from the surrounding residents. Zhang Yaozu said quickly when he saw the situation.

"Brother Han, are they okay?"

"These people were just knocked unconscious by me, but what's going on with you?"

"If it's okay, let's leave quickly, otherwise we'll have to go to the police station when everyone gathers around. The goose will explain this to you on the way."

Han Li nodded, and the two of them walked towards the other end of the alley. As for the people who were knocked unconscious, the enthusiastic people who were about to arrive would deal with them. There was no need to worry about them lying on the ground and getting frozen.

Not long after, Han Li and the others walked out from the other end of the alley. At this time, Zhang Yaozu began to tell how he had a grudge against this group of people.

It turned out that Zhang Yaozu met this group of people on the train, and the conflict was only because of a trivial matter.

This group of people from Shanghai occupied Zhang Yaozu's seat when he was going to the toilet. In order to sit down one more person, they didn't know if they were mentally ill, but even threw Zhang Yaozu's luggage into the aisle.

When Zhang Yaozu came back and saw this situation, he immediately asked the other party to get up and apologize to him. However, this group of people in Shanghai not only refused to return the favor, but also pushed Zhang Yaozu and hit his head on the seat. Big bubble.

When Zhang Yaozu saw this, he didn't resist. He didn't even care about the luggage on the ground. He turned around and went to find the passenger police report. He said that someone had grabbed the seat, beat him, and the luggage was thrown all over the floor. Moreover, the luggage was now much flatter. He suspected these people. Steal from it.

The flight police and flight attendants will take care of such trivial matters as being taken away from your seat and being robbed, but usually they don't care at all and can't take care of it, but now they can't take care of it when it comes to fighting or stealing.

So Zhang Yaozu came to the scene with the police. The police first asked these people to give up their seats, and then asked all the people involved, including Zhang Yaozu, to bring all their luggage to the dining car.

This time was different from later generations. Basically no one dared to disobey the police's orders. Everyone came to the dining car very obediently.

When the police arrived, they first criticized this group of Shanghai people, and then asked Zhang Yaozu to count the materials in his package on the spot.

Zhang Yaozu's belongings were not lacking. Although these people were grabbing seats and beating others, they were not stupid enough to steal things in this situation, so there was nothing missing in Zhang Yaozu's luggage. However, the tangerine peel, Xiaokou dates, and Huanghuatong (salted fish) brought by Zhang Yaozu from home were trampled and crushed. Even the snack "Ji Gong Lan" prepared by his grandma for him was turned into a mess. The tangerine peel, small salted fish, etc. A lot of things were also scattered.

Xiaokou Date: Fried snack, spherical, solid, with sesame seeds on the outside and a crack on the surface. One of the more meaningful snacks in Yangcheng.

Huanghuatong: One of the most praised and expensive salted fish in Yangcheng, it is made by pickling and air-drying three to four pounds of large yellow flowers.

Chicken Gong Lam: Made from Yangcheng specialty white olive, the sweet one is Heshun Lam, the salty one is Licorice Lam, and the spicy one is Chili Lam.

Jigonglan originated in Xiguan in the 1930s and 1940s, probably near or around the current Liwan District of Yangcheng.

Sellers who sell olives wear bamboo hats on their heads and tie paper around their bodies to make a colorful rooster (referring to the shape of a land boat). There is a space in the belly of the chicken for holding olives. They use a suona to blow the rooster's crow and go around the streets to sell.

(The final look can be referred to the Chicken Gongfu in "Seventy-Two Tenants".)
Jigonglan was also known as "Jigonglan". At that time, the buildings on both sides of the road were as high as two or three stories, and the rich girls who lived there were very particular and rarely went out to buy things on the street.

But none of them are short of money, and everyone likes to eat snacks, so when these rich ladies hear the tick-tick-tick-tick suona, they will call to the olive seller and agree on the quantity. Throwing change downstairs.

After receiving the money, the rooster seller wraps up the corresponding number of rooster eggs and throws them into the customer's room.

In order to retain these big consumers, most of the sellers who sell olives have developed the unique skill of "throwing olives into the building".

And every time this time comes, there will be a lot of people watching, whether they want to see the rich lady in the building or the person’s unique skills, there are a lot of people around anyway.

If these olive sellers can 'throw olives into the building', they will naturally attract cheers from the people around them, but if they don't throw them in, they will attract a lot of boos, and they will have to pay another sum. out.

Later, in order to watch the fun, some rich ladies went to buy from these people who could not throw it accurately. In the end, these people were forced to practice this craft that was very strict on angles and strength, or they stopped going to the surrounding areas or changed their careers. .
-
Although Zhang Yaozu's belongings were not missing, the damage caused to him was not small at all. In the end, the police asked these people in Shanghai to pay part of the money and severely criticized them.

These people didn't get seats, lost money, and were criticized. They were so angry that after returning from the dining car, they viciously threatened Zhang Yaozu and told him to be careful.

When they were in the dining car just now, Zhang Yaozu knew that these people were all from QQHE, Fengyu County, and Balianjiu Shack Youth Farm.

Zhang Yaozu didn't believe that they would waste train tickets and get off the train just to cause trouble for him, but he still kept an eye on it. When he was approaching Bingcheng Station, he took his luggage to the dining car, and after getting off the train, he went to a crowded place. squeeze.

After leaving the train station, Zhang Yaozu observed behind the big tree on the roadside for a while and felt relieved when he didn't find these people.

However, when Zhang Yaozu checked in and went to eat on the street and came back, he unexpectedly came face to face with these people. In this case, he panicked and ran away. What happened next was what Han Li saw.

When Han Li heard this, he knew the beginning and end of the matter, but he said with a bit of hatred.

"You, this situation is obviously justified. What are you afraid of? We should have sent them all to the police station just now. Plus what happened to you on the train, it would be great if they were punished and taught a long lesson."

"Well, I mainly don't want to go to the police station. In addition, the Eight Company and Nine Shack Youth Farms are just like the Military Tuo Farm. They dare to catch up with them so carelessly. Who knows if they are here or not?" , it will be too disgusting if it delays the trip back to the village. Anyway, Brother Han, you helped me vent my anger just now, so this time I will let them go."

There is nothing wrong with what Zhang Yaozu said. This is the most appropriate way for an ordinary person from other places to deal with this situation. There are only a very small number of people who are brave and fierce and always think that they are awesome. However, these very few people are the ones who give the world Provide material for the story.

However, Han Li estimated that these people were young and energetic. If it really mattered, they would directly block Zhang Yaozu in the guest house room and try to catch a turtle in a jar.

Even if they happen to meet him on the street, those who are connected will be very confident. When they chase Zhang Yaozu, they will at least have a stick in their hands instead of rushing in with bare hands.

But no matter what the situation is now, Zhang Yaozu is not suitable for walking around alone. If these people have no connections but know where Zhang Yaozu is staying, they will most likely go to the guest house to block him after they wake up.

If the other party has connections and goes public, Han Li can go to the Railway Bureau to find Gan Ziquan. If he, the office director, can't handle it, Han Li can also shamelessly go to Director Shen.

Zhang Yaozu and Han Li had a good relationship. They had always been on the same front. Han Li couldn't just watch something happen to the other party, so he started to talk about the situation he might encounter, and finally asked.

"Which guest house are you staying in now?"

"Red Star Guest House."

"I live in the Friendship Guest House. Regardless of whether the guesses I just made are correct or not, we have to be just in case. Now I will check out with you and then move to the guest house where I live."

"That's great, but why are you in Bingcheng, Brother Han?"

"I received an order from my mother to come here to pick up my two god sisters, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi. They live next door to me. You can move here and share a room with me."

(Writing here to answer a question raised by a reader a long time ago, why does Han Li call Han Dad and Han Mom externally but not our family's 'Old Man' and 'Old Lady'? This is inconsistent with the Four-Nine City Human habits?

In fact, according to the old rules, calling one's parents "old man" and "old lady" in Sijiucheng can only be done after the parents have passed their sixtieth birthday, otherwise this person will be a fool. Later, in order to highlight the characteristics of people's speech in Forty-Nine City, later film and television dramas began to call them this way without hesitation. Later, young people were influenced by film and television dramas, which led to today's situation of calling people indiscriminately without mentioning their age. )
The two of them arrived at the Red Star Guest House where Zhang Yaozu lived while talking. Picking up their luggage and checking out went smoothly.

On the way to the Friendship Hostel, the two of them went to take a look at the place where the fight had just occurred. The alley had returned to calm. It was said that the people who were knocked unconscious were taken to the police station by the police and well-wishers who arrived later. .

Next, the two of them went to the Friendship Guesthouse to check in. Han Li again scanned his face and asked the waiter to put Zhang Yaozu on the empty bed in his room.

He Mi and Qi Zhaodi welcomed Zhang Yaozu's arrival on the surface, but they kept complaining in their hearts. Because of Zhang Yaozu's arrival tomorrow, they would not be able to continue visiting the Ice City. Even if they forced themselves to play, there would be no extra person. So comfortable today.

The four of them sat on the bed with the door open and chatted. When He Mi and the others learned that Zhang Yaozu was still in trouble, they were concerned on the surface, but they complained even more in their hearts.

Because of this situation, if they stay here for fun tomorrow, they might meet those people, and there might be some trouble coming to their door, so leaving by car early tomorrow morning is the best option.

What? Let Zhang Yaozu go back by himself? Doesn't it mean that you express your disdain for others by saying this? If he really said it, then Han Li's timely help tonight would be gone, and it might even have negative consequences.

But no matter what, if we count the time from beginning to end, it can be said that we have not seen each other for more than a year, and the atmosphere of meeting and chatting again is quite good.

However, this is not Shanghe Village but a guest house. There are other guests living next to it. After chatting for a while, we decided what time to get up and take the car back tomorrow. Then we dispersed and went to each house to wash up and sleep.

But what Han Li and the others didn't expect was that they would still... when they left tomorrow.
