The next day, Brother Rundong solemnly recommended his "Double Cultivation of Consciousness" secret book to Principal Kong.

As expected, in front of all the student soldiers, President Kong solemnly commended Brother Rundong's selfless dedication, and on the spot, promoted Brother Rundong's previous position as a third-class private among the soldiers of the student army to a first-class soldier, and promoted it to two levels on the same day, which made the student soldiers very envious.

On the third day, Brother Rundong excitedly took a letter and brought the so-called 'good news', the newspaper had agreed to publish the secret book sent by Brother Rundong, and sent Brother Rundong a gold coin for the manuscript fee, a gold coin! This was a big surprise for Brother Rundong, who was already financially strained, and of course Brother Rundong was even happier that his article had the opportunity to appear in the largest local newspaper, the "Xiangjiang Morning Post," which was an incomparable honor, and he was very happy.

So, during this time, I really stepped up the work of translating "Wind Riding Enlightenment", and I really had a sense of urgency, very urgent! If I didn't have a few unique skills, I really wouldn't be able to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.

I was busy during this time, completely industrious like a madman.

There were many major events this year, just the matter of Yuan Gongbao being the emperor fought for a few months, and then it was a change of provincial governor, so time passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Of course, Brother Rundong is still not going home this year, this stubborn person, his heart seems to be tied with a dead knot, stubborn, but, the thing in his heart, he doesn't say it himself, and it is inconvenient for me to mention it directly, so I still have to go back alone this year, anyway, I'm used to it.

And this year I must go back, my identity has changed, I will soon no longer be the same person I used to be, I will soon become the female beauty of the provincial governor, and my identity will change dramatically, but, we can't forget this, at least this year, we will bring the provincial governor's gift back to the village, and return to the village by the way.

Before the holiday, Tan Ying took me to see Tan Yankai again, this time it was Tan Yankai on behalf of the Tan family to give us a lot of gifts, his gifts are naturally much more generous than Tan Ying's last time, my storage wristbands can hardly fit, except for snacks and candies more than twice as much as last time, and the cultivation pills are not less, this time my gift back to the village can be said to be quite rich.

Take the gift on the boat, and go back to Xiangtan with Xiao Feng and Xiao Sheng, although with my current financial resources, I can rent a boat alone, but now is a period of warlord melee everywhere, the world is very chaotic, rich people travel more dangerously, it is very likely to be robbed by warlords and bandits, so it is still more low-key on the road, and it is more convenient for me to wear the ridge between the city and the countryside as a poor student.

And the identity of his provincial governor's quasi-son-in-law is not convenient to reveal now, hehe!

It's a pleasure to travel in a small boat.

I actually like the feeling of traveling freely, and listening to the braggart of the people around me is also very pleasant.

Two days passed quickly, and the scene on both sides of the boat became the familiar appearance of the hometown, although it was not as prosperous and lively as the provincial capital, but every time I came back from outside, the scene of seeing my hometown would always make people's hearts fluctuate and sigh.

The boat has already entered the territory of Xiangtan County, and the boat will soon dock.

But our ship had not yet come ashore, and suddenly the distant scene on the shore immediately attracted the attention of everyone on board, and we saw that there were a large number of soldiers gathered there on the dock on the shore, as many as forty or fifty people, and we had never encountered such a situation before when we came back from the festival.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a war going on here?"

"I haven't heard of it!"

The people on the boat were very puzzled, everyone had just returned from the provincial capital, and they didn't know what had happened here in Xiangtan County, but everyone really hadn't heard that there was a war here, otherwise everyone wouldn't have come back, but why did there be so many officers and soldiers here?

"Haha! Another boatload of people, this boatload of people is more than the previous batch!"

"Second young master, we can make a lot of money today. ”

"Looks like there will be a few rich men on this ship. ”

"Hehe, I think there's a little girl who looks good. ”

......

As a six-star fighter, I can hear the conversation of the people on the shore in the distance, those soldiers are like a group of wolves staring at a group of sheep, drooling, showing greedy eyes, looking at the people on our ship, what are they going to do, are these officers and soldiers also changed to robbery?

"Second Young Master!"

Suddenly I felt more sensitive to this title, as if it touched a string in my heart, and I raised my eyes to look at the crowd of soldiers. Sure enough, in the middle of the crowd of soldiers, there was a round fat face that I was familiar with, and those small triangular eyes were shining with a thief's light, looking at us triumphantly.

Sure enough, it's him, this is my classmate in the primary skills school, and the second son of the county school guard, Pang Qingjian's son, who drove us out of the Dongshengshan Junior Skills School.

I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, how could I meet this plague god!

In the past few years, I have been back in Xiangtan County, it can be said that I have been avoiding Pang Shihu, after all, that guy is too careful, he is a guy who must be revenged, and his father is the county school guard, and if he touches him, there will be a lot of trouble, I am not afraid of him, but I am afraid of getting into trouble, which is likely to involve my family, so I don't want to meet him.

In addition, I killed Pang Shilong and Wang Xiaowei two years ago, and I still felt a little unreasonable in my heart, I always felt that the lawsuit between me and the Pang family had been settled, their family bullied us and killed Liu Mijian, and I killed Pang Shilong, so now everyone can say that it is reasonable, and I don't plan to worry about it anymore.

Although they still don't know that I killed Pang Shilong and Wang Xiaowei, I am still not very optimistic about Pang Shihu's attitude, and when that guy goes to school, he will find trouble if he looks at him more.

But now it seems that we can't hide, we have nowhere to hide on the ship, and they have their eyes on our ship again.

"Pang Shihu!"

Xiao Feng was also shocked to find out who the people on the shore were, he had also been bullied by Pang Shihu a lot before, at this moment when he said these three words, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but after speaking, he immediately looked at me and Xiao Sheng, and asked anxiously: "What should I do?" This guy is very troublesome and very careful, if he recognizes us, he will definitely retaliate." ”

Xiao Sheng was also a little nervous, of course he also knew Pang Shihu's character, after thinking about it, he immediately whispered: "The last time you met him was five years ago, during this time our bodies and appearances have undergone some changes, there are many people on this boat, as long as you don't show him a straight face, it should be easy to get by." ”

Settle the matter, and now we have to do this, we don't want to have anything to do with Pang Shihu, a difficult guy, the key is that there are too many people on the other side, and it is on other people's territory, we are very helpless, I just hope that this time we can get by.

Although I have the identity of the provincial governor's quasi-son-in-law, who can prove it?

Besides, the last time I met Pang Shihu's elder brother Pang Shilong, I reported that I was a friend of the provincial governor, and I was not the same as the other party who wanted to kill and kill him? In the era of warlord scuffle, local warlords could act recklessly about things within their jurisdiction, and if I said that I knew the provincial governor, with Pang Juhu's careful eyes, he would kill him and not let me ride on his head, and he could not accept that others were better off than him.

"Disembark, disembark, everybody has to be checked. Now is the period of war preparedness, the county school guard has an order, to expand the military strength, everyone who arrives in Xiangtan County must pay a copy of the war readiness security tax, this tax stipulates that each person will receive one gold coin. ”

The soldiers on the shore did not wait for the ship to come to the shore, and immediately shouted like a roadblock.

It turns out that the purpose of these guys staying here is to collect money, and this kind of tax is no different from bandits blocking and robbing, and they saw that the people who came back by boat were all from the big cities and had some spare money, so they set their sights on us.

In this turbulent era, there is no difference between the warlords and the bandits themselves, they all find various names to collect money from the people, but the warlords have more people in their hands, and they collect more blatantly, more justifiably, and more unscrupulously, especially for passers-by, they are eager to scrape off each other's skin.

"A gold coin? you might as well rob it, I don't have a gold coin on my body!"

Of course, there were also poor people on the ship who went home to visit their relatives, and when they heard that they wanted to collect a gold coin, they shouted loudly, a gold coin is not a small amount, if according to the standard of hunters like our family used to be, our family will not be able to earn a gold coin without eating or drinking for a year, so this money is unimaginable for many families.

"What are you yelling about?!"

A sharp and mean voice suddenly came, it was Pang Shihu who shouted, listening to the sound of his shouting, Xiu Wei should have reached the three-star fighter, staring at the cold light shining triangular eyes, he pointed at the person just now viciously and shouted: "Search for me! If you don't have any money, give him twenty whips, I don't believe that he has no money, if he dares to resist, he will arrest me and let his family pay for ransom." ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, without waiting for the boat to be stable, four or five soldiers rushed onto the boat and forcibly pulled the man who had just shouted down, and then without saying anything, he went up to a burst of punches and kicks, and beat the man violently, and then searched his body, and after searching for a while, he found only two silver coins and a few copper coins, and the soldiers did not hesitate to pick up their whips and draw them at the man.

This process is as skilled as an assembly line, and it is estimated that these guys are here every day, doing this kind of thing.

The screams continued, the new clothes the man wore for the festival were torn into strips of rags, and the whip beat the man to a bloody pulp.

Xiao Feng and I glanced at each other, and then still bowed our heads and remained silent.

There are dozens of people on the other side, in this era of turmoil, the warlord is the master of this world, they don't need a reason to beat people, even kill a few people, the most worthless thing in this era is human life.

Therefore, being beaten by officers and soldiers, not wanting his life is already considered lucky, we can't stand up for others because of such a trivial matter, forbearance is a wise choice, and if we come out, it will only make the trouble bigger and bigger, if Pang Shihu finds us, what he wants is not as simple as gold coins
