20demayo Chapter 77 Unexpected Causes
Chapter 77 Unexpected Causes
During the summer vacation after the second year of junior high school, Sun Changlin and his friends got into trouble.
The incident started when Wang Laoba and Liu Laohaizi instigated Sun Changlin to join them in robbing a grain transport vehicle.
Sun Changlin initially didn't want to do this kind of thing, but as the saying goes, "It's not that there are no good things, it's that there are no good people." Zhou Liang, Ma Yuanzhi, Wang Laoba, and Liu Laohaizi instigated him, and in the end, Sun Changlin agreed to their request.
The first two times they succeeded, everyone was very happy. Then they failed once. Sun Changlin, Yi Jianping, Liu Lianbo, Zhou Liang, and Ma Yuanzhi were arrested. Liu Laohai and Wang Laoba ran away. Xiao Bawang Zhu Zhixin also ran away. Wu Jie and Zhang Qiaoyun hid at a relative's house for a few days before her parents sent them to another place. The two of them were gone for more than ten years. When they returned, their child was already in elementary school.
Sun Changlin was absolutely loyal; he took all the blame and was sent to a detention center, while the others were released after fifteen days of administrative detention.
From then on, all nine boys and one girl dropped out of school and went their separate ways.
The new semester bell had just rung, and the campus was still filled with the lazy atmosphere of the holidays, but the rumors about "nine dragons and one phoenix" swept through the entire school like a gust of wind.
This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a huge wave.
This incident quickly became a major topic of discussion among students during breaks.
The school leaders were naturally aware of the "nine dragons and one phoenix" incident and realized the seriousness of the problem. They knew that allowing this bad trend to grow on campus would have a huge negative impact on the students' growth.
As a result, one campus legal education campaign after another was launched in full swing.
School leaders personally took to the assembly to solemnly educate students on the law. The school will not allow the incident involving Sun Changlin and others to happen again.
The school strengthened its supervision, and parents also became more strict with their children. Under this dual pressure, Hong Liguo and his colleagues had to act cautiously.
As a result, the groups that used to run rampant on campus have become much more restrained, and the atmosphere on campus seems to be gradually becoming more harmonious.
To further ensure campus safety and prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the school and causing trouble, the school has renovated the previously unguarded main gate.
Although it was called a gate, it didn't actually have a gate in the true sense at that time. It was just a gap in the wall that people could come and go as they pleased.
Nowadays, the school has assigned people to stand guard, and although these logistics teachers often skip their shifts, it has served as a deterrent.
At this time, Hong Liguo and Wang Yuxin's love also began to reach its climax.
Their relationship was like a vine growing vigorously in spring, winding and twining upwards. It was just waiting for the spring rain to fall so that it could blossom and bear fruit.
Despite their frequent correspondence and daily meetings at school, the feeling of missing each other terribly grew stronger with each passing day.
From their initial secret crushes on each other, their mutual care and affection, their shy glances and reluctance to look away when their eyes met, to Hong Liguo finally mustering the courage to confess his feelings and establish a relationship, and now to their passionate love, the love between Hong Liguo and Wang Yuxin has always been confined to the letters they exchange and the glances they exchange.
In reality, Hong Liguo had never even truly touched her hand. The more passionate their feelings for each other became, the more reserved they became in the face of reality.
Every time they met, they were very careful, as if they might be discovered by the whole class if they were not careful.
In fact, apart from Fa Zi, their romantic relationship was kept secret from all their classmates. They only knew that Hong Liguo and Wang Yuxin were close, but they were unaware of their sweet and secret love.
At least that's what Hong Liguo thinks. As for whether there are people who see through it but don't say it, that's unknown.
However, just as the high school entrance exam was approaching, another major event occurred.
At that time, very few people in their area took the college entrance examination because high schools were only available in the city, and there was only one high school. Students who could get into high school were extremely rare.
In rural middle schools, the high school entrance examination is a crucial test that determines one's future. This exam is like a crossroads in fate, and everyone is giving their all for their future.
This incident, like a sudden storm, has affected the future lives of many people, including Hong Liguo and Wang Yuxin.
The story begins with Zhang Dali, Tong Laogeda's follower, going to the city.
Once, while visiting relatives in the city, Zhang Dali met a man from out of town who lived in the No. 4 Middle School.
This person is from Shandong. He is studying here because his parents came here to work on infrastructure projects.
At that time, the reform and opening up had only been going on for a few years, and there weren't many people from other places here. The vast majority of them came because of infrastructure projects.
This student from Shandong is surnamed Shi and named Shi Lidong. He also has a cousin named Shi Liben.
The two brothers' surnames sound the same as "shit," which became a target of ridicule from local students. They were often chased by mischievous children who shouted "Stinky Shit Lidong" and "Stinky Shit Liben," causing them great distress.
To avoid being bullied, Shi Lidong teamed up with his younger brother Shi Liben and gathered several children from their village to form a group.
Zhang Dali went to visit relatives in the city and met Shi Lidong at their house.
The two hit it off immediately, finding kindred spirits and engaging in lively conversation. They quickly became good friends.
Later, when Zhang Dali heard that Shi Lidong had suffered a loss while sparring with other teams, his fiery temper flared up immediately. Relying on his own skills, he patted his chest and said he would stand up for Shi Lidong.
He then sought out Yan Daqi, and the two of them, along with Shi Lidong and the others, went to seek revenge on Wang Cheng, the most powerful man in the Fourth Middle School.
Wang Cheng was not someone to be trifled with. After suffering such a great loss, he not only failed to learn his lesson and restrain himself, but also couldn't swallow his anger.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, how could Shi Lidong and Zhang Dali possibly compete? So, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, and the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee. Shi Lidong shouted, "Run!"
Zhang Dali and Yan Daqi had suffered a loss, so how could they just let it go?
After they returned in a huff, they told Tong Laogeda and the others, embellishing the story. Tong Laogeda, Wang Dalang, and the others were immediately enraged, their eyes practically spitting fire, determined to take revenge on Xiao Hai and Wang Cheng.
After communicating with Shi Lidong and others, they realized that Wang Cheng was too powerful, and with Xiao Hai's help, Tong Laogeda and Shi Lidong probably couldn't defeat them on their own.
Old Tong counted carefully on his fingers and realized that the two sides were far apart in strength, and the chances of him winning the martial arts match were slim.
To increase his chances of winning, Tong Laogeda thought of Hong Liguo and his six swordsmen.
Since entering the third year of junior high school, everyone has matured a lot as they've grown a year older.
The once young and impetuous Hong Liguo and his friends have gradually become indifferent to fame and fortune, and are no longer as competitive as before.
After the "Nine Dragons and One Phoenix" incident, Hong Liguo and his group became much more restrained. As long as others didn't cause them trouble, they didn't plan to actively create trouble anymore.
Tong Laogeda found Hong Liguo and the others and explained the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Hong Liguo and the others did not immediately express their opinions.
On the one hand, one should carefully consider whether it is necessary to participate in this matter.
This is unlike the previous martial arts competitions, which were all one-on-one duels. Judging from what Old Tong said, this is no small matter.
On the other hand, Hong Liguo and the others were waiting to see what the other side's attitude was, to see if more of the brothers agreed or opposed.
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing that Hong Liguo and the others remained silent and unresponsive, Tong Laogeda grew anxious. He frowned and said, "I've always regarded you as heroes, but I didn't expect you to be such cowards. What's the big deal? Look how scared you've all become. If it's okay, it's okay; if it's not okay, it's not okay. Just give me a straight answer."
