Two and a half children, all the while, watched the three adults gradually move away.

Seeing that it was still early, Cheng Zhong said to Xue Liancheng:

"Hey, I want to take you to a place, it will take you to a place in about three hours, do you want to go? ”

Xue Liancheng nodded again and again.

Of course she is willing, as long as she follows Cheng Zhong, she is happy to go to heaven and earth.

The two of them got on their horses again.

The horses galloped along the main road by the Guanchuan River towards the Tongcheng mining area.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the mining area.

Cheng Zhong found a carriage and horse shop, negotiated with him, paid the money happily, and settled the horses first.

He led Xue Liancheng to walk west, and walked around the Xujia building in the west of the mining area.

The troops have all dispersed.

Some local villagers are not far from Xu Shoujun's yard.

They looked at the yard full of garbage and pointed, talking about the fierce fighting that took place yesterday at Xu Fu's old man's house.

There are all kinds of speculations, but none of them can really tell the truth.

A few people who were brave enough couldn't help but wander into the courtyard, as if looking for anything of value.

"I've been a neighbor with Xu Fu for half my life, and I've never been to his small building. ”

Cheng Zhong heard an old man say loudly.

"I heard that his house harbored the spies of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, and yesterday the troops fought for half a day, and if it wasn't for the final use of artillery, it would not have been able to defeat it. ”

A middle-aged woman said......

After some investigation, Cheng Zhong said to Xue Liancheng:

"I'd like to go buy something, so let's go to the market we just passed by. ”

The two went to the market hand in hand.

At that time, it was already January 1977.

There are already obvious signs of a change in the country's economic policy, and the people's sense of commodity management, which has been suppressed for many years, has begun to rise, and some suburban peasants and urban unemployed people have found places to set up ground stalls.

The district government also stopped obstructing it, and even designated some areas and brought them together to form the original market.

It's nightfall and the market is bustling with activity.

There are all kinds of products sold, but the grade of the products is generally low.

However, this also just adapts to the reality of ordinary poverty in society at this time, and people have little money on hand.

Cheng Zhong took Xue Liancheng's hand and walked around the market.

"Little brother, what do you want to buy?" Xue Liancheng couldn't help but ask.

"I want to buy a new school bag for each of us, and I want to buy a flashlight. ”

Cheng Zhongxin replied as if he was in a hurry.

"Didn't we come across a lot of good-looking school bags, why don't we buy them?"

"Those bags look beautiful, but they're not sturdy enough. ”

"Isn't it just to hold a few books, do you have to be so hard-working? I think there's a good school bag. ”

"Okay, I'll sell it for you first, which one do you like?"

Cheng Zhong asked.

Xue Liancheng pulled Cheng Zhong and returned to a stall she had just passed by, and began to carefully select.

There is a kind of schoolbag, which is sewn together in a triangle of fabrics of various colors, which is colorful and green, and it is very good-looking, and Snow Lotus Cheng can't put it down.

"Is this what you're talking about? This kind of schoolbag, girls can use it, what do you think it's for?"

Cheng Zhong asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Really?"

Xue Liancheng blushed suddenly, put down her schoolbag, pulled Cheng Zhong and left.

The two of them spun around again.

I really didn't find a satisfactory schoolbag, so Cheng Zhong made a temporary decision to buy two imitation military backpacks.

This is the most popular bag nowadays.

As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of people carrying these grass-green backpacks.

Xue Lian Cheng was too ordinary, and Cheng Zhong was not strong, in short, both of them were not very satisfied, but they finally bought it.

There are several stalls of flashlights, and Cheng Zhong bought one with the strongest light after repeated selection.

After leaving the stall market, Cheng Zhong took Xue Liancheng to eat again.

There are only two restaurants nearby.

One is Lanzhou beef noodles, and the other is Tongcheng big meat noodles.

The two discussed, turned into the beef noodle restaurant, and queued up to buy tickets.

The restaurant is small in size, but the business is surprisingly good, and the diners are crowded one after another.

Some people are honestly queuing.

Others, crowding around the window where the meal is served, shouting noisily.

The order was chaotic.

Xue Liancheng asked Cheng Zhong to occupy a seat and go to the queue to buy food by himself.

One by one, a group of people left with their faces, but Xue Liancheng couldn't reach the window.

As soon as someone left with their faces in front of them, some people immediately crowded to the front to fill the vacancy, and many people cut in line casually.

Just when Xue Liancheng was in a hurry, four or five young men with long hair came in from outside the door.

After the group bought the tickets, they pushed each other and squeezed in front of her.

Xue Liancheng really couldn't bear it.

I saw her eyes wide, grabbed the long-haired young man who hit the head, and shouted sharply:

"Don't cut the line! I've been waiting for half an hour!"

"Oh, who are you kid who dares to care about Lao Tzu?"

The long-haired young man shouted arrogantly.

He turned his head and stared at Xue Liancheng fiercely, his words full of contempt and contempt.

Hearing the quarrel here, Cheng Zhong hurriedly squeezed over.

He took Xue Liancheng's hand and said:

"If you don't talk less, what's the point if we wait a little longer?"

Hearing Cheng Zhong say this, Xue Liancheng glanced at the long-haired young man and closed her mouth silently.

"What do you see, you're not convinced? Go outside if you're not convinced!"

Who knew that the long-haired young man had to inch in, and he actually handed over the meal ticket in his hand to a companion, turned around, grabbed Xue Liancheng's shoulder, and was about to push her out.

Seeing that the long-haired young man was so rude, Cheng Zhong dared to directly violate Xue Liancheng's body, and immediately became angry, grabbed the two fingers of the long-haired young man, and broke them in the opposite direction with all his strength.

"Ahh......h

The long-haired young man's two fingers hurt but he let go of Xue Liancheng and screamed like a pig.

Cheng Zhong turned around, pulled up Xue Liancheng, and walked away from the noodle shop quickly.

As he walked, he said:

"Let's go, let's go eat somewhere else. ”

Xue Liancheng knew in her heart that this meal must not be able to stop, so she stomped her feet and left with Cheng Zhong.

Who would have thought that a few long-haired young men chased after them reluctantly.

"If you take advantage of it, you want to slip away, you guys are big ghosts!

Dude, get these two boys up for me first!"

The long-haired young man who had done something to Xue Liancheng before, threw his right hand that was sprained by Cheng Zhong and shouted loudly.

"Hey, big brothers, you have something to say, don't do it yet!"

Cheng Zhong said in a calm tone.

After all, he still has important things to do, and he doesn't want to get entangled with these boring people.

"Okay, let's talk about a fart, I'll beat you up first, and then I'll talk!"

A small man shouted and cursed in his mouth, and rushed to Cheng Zhong, grabbing Cheng Zhong's shoulders with both hands.

Cheng Zhong squatted down to the left, avoiding the hands of the little man.

Then he suddenly stood up, pushed his right elbow out, and hit the opponent's chin.

Just listening to the "click", the little man's jaw was dislocated.

"Ahhh......h Uh-huh......"

His mouth suddenly contorted to the point that he couldn't speak.

"This kid is not very old, but his hands and feet are quite sharp, I don't believe I can't catch you. ”

A fat, big young man rushed forward.

Cheng Zhong was about to parry, only to hear a "wow", the fat man ate and fell at his feet, unable to get up for half a day.

Xue Liancheng let out a "giggle" chuckle in her mouth and slowly withdrew her legs.

Just now, it was she who took advantage of the fat man's unpreparedness and knocked him down with her legs.

"Damn, let's go up together and kill these two little things......!"

The remaining three long-haired youths, roaring loudly, waved their fists in unison, and rushed over.

Xue Liancheng moved at this time.

I saw her squat slightly, and then jumped, and her body had been pulled into the air.

I saw that she was running in the air, and her toes kicked out again and again, and instantly kicked the heads of three long-haired youths.

With three muffled grunts, the long hair twisted and fell to the ground.

The most peculiar thing is that after the three of them fell, their necks were uniformly tilted to one side.

Their bodies rolled and twisted, and they let out a series ......of screams of "ahhh
