Chapter Seventy-Three: Righteousness and Courage Again
Liang Jiangtao took a bus to Jiang'an City.
A single trip of more than 80 kilometers, the ticket is five yuan.
In this era, private cars are still large items that only a few people can afford, and they are a symbol of status.
In his previous life, Liang Jiangtao bought a car in 15 years, a small domestically produced Emgrand, who had been driving for 7 or 8 years, and he was also an old driver.
Although I had already taken a bus from the provincial capital to Ningshui last time, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I sat on it again.
The seats are dirty and broken, there are no seat belts, the space is cramped, the smells are mixed, the overload is serious, and the aisles are crowded with people......
If something happens, the consequences are unimaginable.
But there is no way, this is a true portrayal of the level of economic and social development in that era.
The road is far from being as easy to walk as in later generations, there are dirt roads everywhere, potholes, rickety, and coupled with the environment in the car, it is easy to get motion sickness....... It's better to go on the national road.
It would be better if you could use the highway, but the bus will not go to save money.
Liang Jiangtao remembered that it would be enough to drive to Jiang'an for less than an hour in later generations, but this trip took almost two and a half hours.
If you go to Jiangzhou, the bus will take four hours, which is simply torture.
Liang Jiangtao thought to himself, when he made money, he had to get a car to drive, otherwise it would be too inconvenient, and he would have to go back and forth between Jiangzhou and Ningshui often in the future, and it would not be okay to take the bus all the time.
Then you have to get a driver's license and take the test before you go to work.
When he got off at the station, Liang Jiangtao stretched his waist and looked at the crowded and bustling bus station.
Suddenly, he saw a young man with a sharp beak followed by a middle-aged woman and quietly took out a knife.
Pickpocket!
The middle-aged woman was well-dressed, carrying a bag on her shoulder, and holding a little boy in her hand, which pickpockets like to pick.
Pickpockets and thieves were everywhere in this era, especially at bus stations and train stations.
"What the hell!" Liang Jiangtao didn't think about it, and shouted.
After being reborn, he seems to have become a professional in righteousness and courage.
When the road is uneven, you have to draw a knife to help!
As soon as the pickpocket saw that the matter was revealed, he directly dragged the woman's bag down, turned around and glared at Liang Jiangtao viciously, and fled as if flying.
"Ahh Heist it! Heist it! The woman was frightened and screamed.
Liang Jiang Taofei also chased after him!
While chasing, he shouted: "Stop, don't run!" ”
At this time, the station is full of people inside and outside, as long as someone stands up to intercept pickpockets, pickpockets are difficult to fly.
But most people have an indifferent face, and they don't care about themselves.
There are also people who enjoy the big drama with great interest.
The pickpocket is thin and easy to move, and he shuttles through the crowd like a fish swimming in the sea, and he is almost disappearing in a few steps.
Liang Jiangtao followed closely and followed closely.
He is tall, plus he plays basketball all year round, and his physical fitness is very good, and he has never lost it.
The pickpockets quickly escaped the crowd and entered an alley next to the station.
Liang Jiangtao followed, and after turning the corner, he suddenly saw a pickpocket looking at him with his hands on his chest, and a playful smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he turned around, four men with fierce faces surrounded him.
"Brother, nosy people don't end well, I'll let you go out sideways today!" The pickpocket spoke with a thick local Jiang'an accent.
Liang Jiangtao was taken aback, although his physical fitness was very good, it was still a little unrealistic to have a pair of five.
This time it's a deep tiger's den, what should I do? His brain was spinning.
You can only make a breakthrough first, try to delay the time, there is a patrol officer on duty at the station, and the victim is estimated to have called the police, hoping that the police will arrive soon.
Liang Jiangtao took the initiative and punched a person in front of the door, the person who came was caught off guard, was knocked down with a scream, and seized the opportunity to jump out of the encirclement immediately.
But there were many people on the other side, one caught him, one kicked him, Liang Jiangtao dodged, and the other person tripped him under Liang Jiangtao's dodging route, Liang Jiangtao didn't have time to dodge, and stumbled.
Struggling to keep his balance, he looked up and saw that the pickpocket was smiling and stabbing him with a knife!
Dangerous!
Between the lightning and flint, a figure sprang out and kicked the pickpocket away.
The other accomplices immediately gathered around.
The man was awe-inspiring, vigorous, and methodical, as if he was a practitioner, and knocked the four of them to the ground in a few strokes.
When the pickpocket saw that the situation was not good, he shouted, "Hurry up!" He turned around and wanted to escape.
But Liang Jiangtao waited for him, kicked him to the ground, and used to kick him in the stomach.
The foot was so strong that the pickpocket curled up like a shrimp in pain, and tears flowed from his eyes.
Several other people also tried to run, but the man held one down and gave two more punches.
As long as one is left, the others can't run.
Liang Jiangtao cast a grateful look at the man, and found that the man was smiling at himself, and that face seemed to be somewhat familiar.
"You are?" Liang Jiangtao was puzzled.
"Jiang Tao, old classmate, don't you know me anymore?"
"Chen Guodong? It's you! You..... It's changed! Liang Jiangtao said happily.
This person's name is Chen Guodong, his high school classmate, but at that time he had long flowing hair and a somewhat melancholy temperament, and now he has short hair, and he seems to be a lot older, so he didn't recognize it for a while.
"I cut my hair, I can't imagine that you won't even recognize you."
They had a good relationship when they were in school, and they often played together, Chen Guodong fell off the list in the first year, repeated in the second year, and then there was no news again.
"How did you lose your hair?"
"Hey, that's all left when I was in school, I was young and frivolous, and now I move bricks on the construction site every day, how can I still have hair like that? Isn't it a joke? Chen Guodong said with a smile.
"Your skills are still so good, and your demeanor has not diminished back then!"
Chen Guodong is a sports student, who practices sanda, and was a well-known "master" in the school back then.
But others are simple and down-to-earth, and they never bully their classmates.
"Hey, it's useless! I chose the wrong major, sanda is not a popular event, I can't win medals in major competitions, and universities are reluctant to recruit them. Later, I finally got a second-level certificate and went to a sports college to take a professional course, and the coach asked me to pay 3,000 yuan to give it to me, I was so poor that I urinated blood, and my family smashed pots and sold iron to provide me for all these years, how could I have money for him? In a fit of rage, I hit him, and he found our school and wanted to expel me, but I saw that it was not interesting to practice any longer, so I took the initiative to drop out. Chen Guodong said with a smile.
