Chapter Twenty-Six: Righteousness and Courage
(This is the first update, everyone has the support of the recommendation vote, thank you.) ļ¼
After eating the next morning, Liu Tao looked at the time and went out with his backpack. At this time, Zhang Qian passed by, saw Liu Tao coming out, and greeted him with a smile.
Liu Tao nodded at her, and then the two walked forward side by side.
"Ah Tao!" Sun Guang and Zhao Kun were already waiting for him in front of the building, and hurriedly shouted when they saw him coming.
"Let's go." Liu Tao stepped forward and patted Zhao Kun on the shoulder and said.
"Zhang Qian, why did you think of going to school with us today?" Zhao Kun saw Zhang Qian following Liu Tao's side, and asked puzzled. You must know that the three of them used to go to school, and Zhang Qian did her own thing.
"I'm willing, can't I?" Zhang Qian didn't even think about it, and blurted out.
"Yes, surely." Zhao Kun touched the ash of his nose and said.
A group of four people quickly came to the bus stop outside, and soon, the No. 9 bus came, and then they went up in turn and found a seat to sit down.
When the bus arrived at the compound of the old county party committee, many people came up. An old gentleman who walked behind came up and ran out of seats.
Seeing this, Liu Tao quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
"Thank you." After the old gentleman sat down, he said to Liu Tao.
"It's fine." Liu Tao shook his head, took two steps back, and stopped next to Zhang Qian.
"Comrade Lei Feng, do you want me to give you my seat?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.
"If you let it to me, wouldn't you become a Lei Feng girl? I'm not going to give you that chance. Liu Tao said.
"You're stupid. Come, backpack for me. Zhang Qian said as she took the backpack in Liu Tao's hand.
Seeing this, Liu Tao did not refuse, anyway, there was already a little relationship between them, and there was no need to be too polite, too polite would seem rusty.
When the bus was about to arrive at No. 4 Middle School, Liu Tao saw a young man with dyed yellow hair and earrings reaching into someone else's pocket, and he immediately realized that it was a thief.
He just wanted to stop the other party's behavior, but before he could make a move, the old gentleman who had just given up his seat had already stood up and grabbed the hand of the young man who was pulling out the other's pocket.
"Old fellow! What are you doing! The young man saw that the things were about to arrive, but he didn't expect to be interrupted, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"You know what I'm doing! What are you doing with your hands in other people's pockets! The old gentleman said righteously.
"Which eye do you see me putting my hand in someone else's pocket? Without evidence, I can sue you for falsehood. The young man bit the old gentleman back.
"I can testify!" Liu Tao said.
All the passengers' eyes fell on him at once.
"Little turtle lamb, don't help the old guy spew blood if it's okay!" The young man scolded fiercely.
"Call 110." There are passengers built yƬ road.
"Which of you dares to call 110 to try!" As soon as the young man saw that someone was going to call 110, he immediately took out a switchblade from his trouser pocket and threatened viciously.
"If you have the ability, stab me. I'm already a dying man, so I'm just going to take you with me for the funeral. The old gentleman was not intimidated by the other party's threat.
"You think I wouldn't dare, would you?" As soon as the old gentleman said this, the young man brandished a switchblade and was about to go towards the old gentleman.
As a result, before his knife stabbed the old man's body, Liu Tao directly kicked him to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Liu Tao stepped on his hand holding the switchblade, and with a little force, the switchblade was directly taken off.
Liu Tao slowly squatted down and picked up the switchblade, slapped the young man's face with the back of the knife, and sneered: "You try to scold again?" See if it's your mouth or this knife is powerful? ā
Where did the young man dare to continue to shout, staring at Liu Tao without speaking. If his eyes could kill people now, Liu Tao would have died thousands of times.
At this time, someone had already called 110. Soon, at this stop at the entrance of the fourth middle school, the bus stopped. Then, Liu Tao pulled the young man by the collar and picked him up, and got out of the car with the old gentleman and others.
It's school time, and many students walk in front of them. When I saw that there was a lively hula, they all gathered around.
After a while, a police car drove up and two policemen got out of it.
"Who called the police just now?" The policeman parted the crowd and walked in and asked.
"Hello, comrade policeman. We caught this thief on the bus just now, and now I'll leave it to you to deal with. The old gentleman said.
"Sir, you can't catch this thief, right?" The policeman asked, incredulous.
"Of course not me. It's this classmate. The old gentleman pointed at Liu Tao and said.
"Good job, young man." The policeman greeted Liu Tao, glanced at the thief's face, couldn't help laughing, and said, "I just sent you out and you committed another crime, it seems that you are really a thief." ā
As soon as the people around heard it, they immediately understood that this young man was a habitual thief.
"Old man, we'll deal with this thief when we bring it back." When the policeman said this, he turned to Liu Tao and said, "This classmate, you are acting bravely. So, when I get back to the office, I'll write you a letter of commendation. ā
"No, you don't." Liu Tao hurriedly waved his hand. He didn't want to be famous, but if he wrote him a letter of praise, it is estimated that he would soon be promoted by the school as a model.
The police didn't talk to him anymore, escorted the thief into the police car, and then roared away.
When the police left, the old gentleman smiled and said to Liu Tao: "Young man, it's really good." What is your name? If you have time, you can come to my house to play. ā
"My name is Liu Tao." Liu Tao replied with a smile.
"I remembered. You guys go to class. The old gentleman silently recited the name three times in his heart and said to Liu Tao.
"Goodbye." Liu Tao waved at the old gentleman, and then walked to the school with Zhang Qian and the others.
The old gentleman waited until they were all in the school, and slowly walked inside. However, he did not stop at the campus, but went directly to the teacher's family building inside.
When Liu Tao and the others arrived at the classroom, almost half of the students had already arrived in the classroom. They were still talking to each other, but when they saw Liu Tao coming in, all their eyes fell on him.
Liu Tao ignored these glances, walked a few steps quickly and sat in his seat.
"Liu Tao, I heard that you caught a thief on the bus just now?" Sun Wei didn't wait for Liu Tao to sit down, and a face leaned over.
Liu Tao glanced at him, didn't speak, just nodded.
"What were you thinking when you caught the thief?" Sun Wei continued to ask.
"Can you stop gossiping?" Liu Tao reprimanded with some impatience. He hated this tablemate more in the first place, but if possible, he would be willing to share the table with Zhang Qian.
Sun Wei saw that he was unhappy and immediately closed his mouth.
At this time, the math teacher walked up to the podium from the outside. She looked around and saw that the students had all arrived, announcing the start of class.
Throughout the morning, Liu Tao was decent, did not sleep, did not read extracurricular books, but studied hard. He knew in his heart that even if he could rely on cheating to get good grades, that score was not his own strength after all. If he wants to become a master, he must change his current attitude towards learning.
Attitude determines a qiÄ.
For Liu Tao's changes, the teachers are also looking at it. During class, they would unconsciously come down from the podium to Liu Tao's side. Perhaps, in their hearts, it is the most proud thing to be able to change students like Liu Tao.
During the lunch break, Liu Tao went to the cafeteria to eat with Sun Guang, Zhao Kun and Zhang Liang. When eating, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Sun Guang and others followed him and also gained a lot of exposure.
"See? That is Liu Tao in the fifth class of the third year of high school. I heard that he subdued a thief with a knife with his bare hands today. A girl said.
"Really? It seems that people are really unseemly. You look at his long Sven Wen, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. "There are girls who are full of adoration in their words.
"I think it's definitely safe to be his girlfriend. By the way, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right? A girl asked.
"Probably not. Why don't you go over and ask? "The girl with good things said excitedly.
"I'm not going to be bored with myself." The girl replied.
Just when they were chatting with each other, a girl came to Liu Tao and the others.
Liu Tao and others raised their heads one after another. As a result, he found out that the girl was a sophomore in high school, and he couldn't remember exactly which class it was.
"Isn't this Xie Na from the second and third classes of high school? What was she trying to do? Curious girls began to discuss again.
"I don't know. Looking at this posture, I don't know if I want to confess to Liu Tao. However, Xie Na is recognized as the school flower of our school, and the boys who chase her can form a reinforced platoon, so she shouldn't take a fancy to Liu Tao. ā
"It's hard to say. You'll know right away. ā
"Hello, I'm Xie Na, from the second and third classes of high school." The girl introduced herself.
"Hello. Is there something wrong with me? Liu Tao asked lightly.
"Do you have time for the evening? If I have time, I'd like to treat you to dinner. Xie Na smiled and said what she meant.
"Not available. I'm going home in the evening to review my homework. Liu Tao bluntly rejected the other party's invitation.
"In that case, let's wait until the weekend. On weekends, you should always have time, right? Xie Na asked without giving up. She actually doesn't have a special affection for Liu Tao, but the girls in the class are discussing each other, and they say that the other party should be quite picky. She just laughed it off. Unexpectedly, a girl at that time said that even if Xie Na went out, she might not be able to do it. When she heard this, she immediately felt uncomfortable. She has always regarded herself very highly, and she has always been disdainful of the boys who chase her, and for boys like Liu Tao, she takes it for granted that she must be able to catch them. In this way, it is possible to silence the girls who say cool things. Unexpectedly, Liu Tao's answer caught her off guard, how could she be willing to lose face in so many people.
"It's too early to talk about the weekend, it's only Monday." Liu Tao shrugged his shoulders and said quite helplessly.
Xie Na was directly speechless by Liu Tao's two answers. She glanced at him, then turned and walked away.
"Isn't it? He didn't even give Xie Na face? ā
"I've long since gotten tired of seeing her look on the top. Heavens, earth, at last someone has given me this breath. ā
"Wait and see, there will definitely be good things to come."
Liu Tao would definitely not hear these remarks about them. He was telling the truth, and he wasn't deliberately looking for trouble with Xie Na. What's more, he was not familiar with Xie Na in the first place, and a stranger suddenly came over to invite you to dinner, which is very unreasonable. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief.
