Chapter 11 Returning the Favor
The yellow-haired young man, who obviously regarded himself as the boss, screamed with snot and tears, which frightened the other three, and only when Lin An let go of his hand and walked away did they dare to come to help.
Seeing the figures of the four quickly disappear from view, Lin An picked up the magazine that fell to the side of the road, and when he saw Li Man walking away, he quickly followed.
Li An's home is in the east of the town, and Li Man lives in the grandparents' house on Zhenbei Street.
The sun sets in the distance, and the whole street falls into the silence of dusk.
Sensing that Lin An was following, Li Man had no objection, and walked in silence, she looked down at Lin An's calf, "Your leg, is there anything wrong?"
"Legs? Oh, it's fine. Hearing Li Man speak first, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and reacted and bent down to dust off the shoe prints on his pants.
At the age of fifteen, he is not tall and his body is relatively fragile, otherwise, he would not have been hit so badly by Feng Yongliang on Silk Street. Just now, against three people at the same time, he could only avoid a kick, and then concentrate on dealing with the other two. Fortunately, the other party is very young and not very strong, otherwise where would they be so easy to scare them.
The hand slapped on the calf, Lin An's face was bitter, he was hit on Silk Street a few days ago, and the position of the kick he just received happened to be the place where he was bruised before.
Li Man retracted his gaze, his face slightly turned away, "Actually...... I don't need your help. β
Lin An smiled in belief and didn't answer, he knew that Li Man was not a hard support, just stating the facts.
Li Man pursed her thin lips, and when she heard Lin An's laughter disappear, she hesitated and turned her face slowly, "You, did you use joint skills?"
Looking at the elongated shadow on the road, Lin An subconsciously clenched the magazine in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he replied softly, "Well, it's a joint technique." Studied for a while. β
The so-called joint technique is actually a kind of grappling, and in traditional martial arts, it is sometimes called anti-joint grappling. It can be seen often in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, Judo, UFC and other competitions.
It is a fighting technique that mainly breaks and breaks, twists, locks, and traps, and is aimed at causing permanent or temporary severe damage to the opponent's joints and bones.
Martial arts, aikido, judo, etc., in the previous life, it was too late for Lin An at that time, and the best time to learn and train was already past the best, so he finally chose joint skills. It's a hand-to-hand combat technique that can be quickly developed in a short period of time, making up for the lack of physical confrontation and meeting his expectations for the worst.
Li Man glanced at Lin An unexpectedly, and when he heard that he had studied for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, "No wonder you came here without fear at all." Who did you learn from?"
After a while, she didn't hear an answer, Li Man turned her face sideways, and saw Lin An looking at her with a smile, her face was immediately covered with coldness, and she looked back at the front, "It's nothing, I'll ask casually." β
"Who did you learn from? I thought, well, a pretty sister with a very bad temper. Lin An turned around and looked at Li Man's obviously curious but pretending to be meaningless, at this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a big sister more than ten years later.
Li Man frowned in annoyance, regretting that he shouldn't have asked this, and gave the other party a chance to ridicule. Even if it feels a little familiar with those movements, what does it have to do with you? The important thing is that I hate self-righteous boys the most, and I hate oily boys the most.
Seeing Li Man's eyes narrowed, knowing that she had misunderstood, Lin An felt that this really couldn't be explained, so he snorted and put on a kung fu pose with a smile, "Really." The beautiful sister said that if you learn this well, you can say to others in the future, 'I want to fight ten'!"
Li Man glanced at the past like an idiot, and quickened his pace under his feet.
All right. This meme, which will only be there in a few years, does look like an idiot to do it now.
Lin An kept up with Li Man, seeing that the intersection of Center Street was getting closer and closer, he unfolded the somewhat crumpled magazine, showed the cover girl with a mini skirt on it, and muttered to himself, "I really didn't mean to buy it, it happened to be mixed in the information book at that time." If it is crumpled like this, the bookstore will definitely not be returned, what should I do? If I take it home and my mother finds out, I will be arrested and beaten up? Alas, it would be nice if I could put it to someone first. β
When Lin An read the lines for the fifth time, Li Man's eyes flashed and he stopped in annoyance.
Indeed, this kind of magazine will not be relieved by any parent when it is taken home, especially by boys. It's just a "favor" just now, although I don't need it at all.
Pulling the magazine from Lin An's hand, Li Man said coldly, "You can put this with me first, and when you want it, I'll return it to you." β
"Really?!Thank you, that helped a lot. Lin An showed exaggerated gratitude, but the other party didn't even glance at him.
At the intersection of Center Street, watching Li Man turn around and walk to the side of the road without saying a word, Lin An scratched his forehead, I don't know if today is a good step.
I vaguely remember that the last time I changed seats in the third year of junior high school in my previous life, I went back to school the next day, and I seemed to have heard gossip about it, saying that there were students from other towns who took people to look for trouble at the school gate, but one person went to the hospital, and the other three also had blue noses and swollen faces, so I think it should be this time, right?!
As for what the yellow-haired young man said, Lin An also has a memory, which happened last week. Some students from other schools came here to find someone, and when they saw Li Man passing by, they started to coax and shout a few times, when Song Chunfei and more than ten boys in the third class just came out, and pushed these people into the ditch without saying a word......
"You, wait a minute. β
A cold shout sounded behind him, Lin An turned around in surprise, and saw that Li Man had walked back at some point, so he stood at the intersection of the street and looked at this side.
"What's the matter?" Lin An walked over and asked puzzledly, "You won't change your hexagram, you said you want to thank me and keep it for me." β
Li Man glanced at Lin An angrily, she pursed her red lips, and then said seriously, "The high school entrance examination is coming, you should focus on studying...... Internet cafes are easy to distract, so it's best to go less. Also, your grades are okay, unlike Sun Can. In the last two months, if you work hard, you should be able to get into a better school. β
"Thank you. Lin An looked over with a smile. For a moment, it felt like re-facing her illusion more than a decade later.
Sensing Lin An's somewhat strange gaze, Li Man turned around, puffed out his mouth as if he was annoyed, and then walked away without looking back.
When he got home, he opened the door and saw that the living room light was on, Lin An was overjoyed, he hooked his head and shouted into the house while changing his slippers, "Dad, Mom, are you back?"
"Ah, Yasuko is back. Zhou Cuiyun hurriedly came out of the kitchen, wiped the water on her apron with her hand, and rolled up her sleeves as soon as she pulled Lin An, "Is the injury healed, does it still hurt?"
The door of the study was ajar, and Lin Congli hurriedly said a few more words to the phone in his hand, and came out of the room after hanging up.
The sleeves were rolled up high, and the gauze wrapped on the arm was removed by Lin An in the morning, but in fact, there was no need to wrap it anymore, it was basically fine, but there were blue and purple pieces in some places, which was a little scary at first glance.
"It's all right, it doesn't hurt at all. Seeing that Zhou Cuiyun's eyes were red, Lin An hurriedly moved his arms, and asked with a smile that diverted the topic, "Mom, you will come back today, are you okay!" I heard that Dad will take the post of Mayor Guo this time. β
"What nonsense, is it what you kid should care about!" Lin Congli scolded, he sat on the sofa, with a face, "I haven't said you yet." You know how dangerous Feng Yongliang's person is! Nonsense, just call Lord SΓΉ when you hear something, and you dare to follow him......
"How long have you and Secretary Zhao been in the hotel?! Those people only know what to say every day to cooperate and confess, who has ever seriously looked for Feng Yongliang. Zhou Cuiyun gave Lin Congli a roll of the eyes, she stroked the back of Lin An's head, and said proudly, "If it weren't for our son this time, it's hard to say what would happen to you and Secretary Zhao." β
"You just get used to it!" Lin Congli shook his head at Zhou Cuiyun, laughed helplessly, and said to Lin An, "Forget it this time." Next time, if you have anything, you have to discuss it with an adult first. β
"Yes, Anzi, I won't allow it next time! Changshun said that it was you who rushed up to block Feng Yongliang at that time, so he didn't escape. If you ......" Zhou Cuiyun was afraid to Lin An, carefully putting down the rolled up sleeves.
