Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 161 Three Phases
When we went back, it was much faster.

The five people did not follow the original route, but were brought back directly by Yu Qiutang from the normal mountain road.

As soon as I reached the intersection, I saw a group of people still gathered there.

The fathers who had gone out to look for their children have also returned.

He was squatting on the side of the road, holding his head and sighing.

Teacher Yang, who liked to corporally punish students, was having his clothes grabbed by a woman and were being torn off.

The woman's voice was hysterical and severely cracked.

I couldn't even understand what she was yelling.

Teacher Yang did not resist and was shaken like a wooden man. Zhang Jiashen next to him tried to pull him away, but everyone's emotions had reached their limit and there was no room for rationality.

However, some of the people who came to watch the fun withdrew.

The rest are neighbors who, in addition to being lively, also sincerely hope that the children can come back.

Yu Qiutang had good eyesight. Looking at these people from a distance, he felt that they looked like farmers who paid their grain to the grain station, but were rejected for being too wet and were forced to take the grain back to be dried again.

Endless distress and helplessness.

But there is nothing to do.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

The children also noticed their mother at this time, and immediately felt very wronged, and started shouting from afar.

This shout was like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan.

Oh!

It instantly ignited everyone's emotions.

Some were tearing their hair apart, some were leaning on their neighbor’s arms in despair, some were pacing impatiently, some were holding their heads in agony and waiting, or some were almost burning their fingers with cigarette butts between their fingers…

They all turned to look.

When they realized there was no one around, everyone ran forward a few steps.

It's like a high-speed train suddenly arriving at the station.

People were thrown out several steps due to inertia.

The three children were about to run forward, but Yu Qiutang signaled them not to run too fast, because the faster they ran, the more severely they would be beaten.

Under his guidance, the children still maintained the posture of Li Liuzi and Wang Xiaolu supporting Zhu Haofeng, and walked slowly towards the crowd.

There is no rush here, the only ones who are anxious are the parents.

Zhu Haofeng's parents, in particular, ran faster than anyone else and rushed in front of the three people. Zhu's mother pulled the child in front of her, looked the child up and down, her eyes falling on the ankle.

"My son, what's wrong with your foot?"

"Just a little cut."

"Does it hurt? It must be very painful..."

"pain."

Zhu Haofeng wanted to say it didn't hurt, but he remembered Yu Qiutang's advice. If he wanted to avoid being beaten less, he could only pretend to be pitiful.

Moreover, by pretending to be pitiful, he could also help Li Liuzi and Wang Xiaolu.

"Then...what should we do? Let mother take a look," said Zhu's mother, and was about to go to see the bandaged wound.

Seeing this, Yu Qiutang stopped her.

"It's better not to open it. Take him to the pharmacy to get an anti-inflammatory shot and some medicine. Make sure to keep warm when you go back, and don't get cold, otherwise it will come back every year."

"Oh, yes, yes, to the pharmacy."

Zhu's mother pulled Zhu Haofeng and was about to leave.

Only then did the other two mothers arrive.

Wang Xiaolu's mother was a fierce and shrewish woman. She had just been pacing anxiously waiting. When she saw her child really come back, she immediately picked up a stick from the field next to her and started beating Wang Xiaolu.

Wang Xiaolu was beaten so hard that he screamed and jumped, looking at Yu Qiutang from time to time.

Yu Qiutang knew that this was his way of doubting himself.

I clearly used the self-torture tactic, but it doesn't seem to be very effective.

It seemed that he had received all the beatings he deserved.

Yu Qiutang smiled bitterly.

I can only think like an average parent, but who knew that your mother would be so tough beyond my expectation.

But it’s okay, you’re not completely without fault.

No matter if you are fighting with your parents or teachers, you should not put yourself in danger. This is a sign of youthful ignorance and a disease.

be cured.

When I was young, I always foolishly thought that my life belonged to me and I could use it as I pleased.

Even if it is wasted, it will be of no use.

Some people who are so desperate may even threaten their parents, teachers, or society with death.

But in fact, whether it is parents, teachers, or other people, they are just passers-by in our lives.

The only thing you truly own is yourself.

You think that after you die, you will leave them with pain and make them live in misery for the rest of their lives.

Actually not.

Even if it is really sad at the time, time will eventually dilute everything.

But you really disappeared.

Yu Qiutang hopes that children understand this truth. Even if they have opinions about the world, their parents and teachers, they should not rush to resist, but grow up quietly. Once they have grown strong enough, they can live according to their own ideas.

But at the same time.

Yu Qiutang also wanted to take this opportunity to give these parents and teachers a wake-up call.

Appropriate punishment will help children grow up more upright, but it should not be excessive, especially for Teacher Yang, who should have a sense of responsibility as a teacher and not be so perverted.

And parents too.

You have to understand the truth and don't think that everything the school is right.

They even said some outrageous words to the teacher, such as "If you don't listen, I will beat you, beat you to death."

When children hear these words, their world completes a dark loop.

They only have two social attributes: school and family. If these two were huge mountains, they would definitely not be able to bear the oppression.

In the long run, even if the children can endure it, when they grow up they will find it difficult to compete with others in big cities because of their lack of self-confidence, cowardice and other personality traits.

At work, they will also become workers who accept everything as it comes.

Humble laborers.

He came from the future and knew that these practices would have a great impact on children's lives. If he had not encountered them, it would have been fine. But now that he happened to encounter them, he would guide them if he could.

It's considered a good deed.

While there was a commotion here, Li Liuzi's mother was the first to react. She turned around and pulled Li Liuzi to kneel in front of Yu Qiutang.

Yu Qiutang hurriedly supported her.

There are really three mothers with three different styles. Li Liuzi's mother is the kind of person who is willing to give everything for her children.

At this time, the other two mothers, including everyone, also reacted and surrounded Yu Qiutang.

"Qiu Tang is really amazing. The three of them searched all night but still couldn't find it."

"That's right. It seems that not everyone can enter this mountain."

"These kids are so lucky to have met Qiu Tang. If it weren't for him, what would they have done with such a huge mountain?"

Yu Qiutang didn't want to just stand there and be treated as a mascot by everyone.

A little irritable.

The black piece in his hand could no longer stay there, so he let it go and let it go home by itself.

On this side, due to social conventions, he still has to continue to maintain the association.

After everyone continued to compliment him.

Unrelated personnel must leave.

Yu Qiutang noticed that Wang Xiaolu's mother was pulling Wang Xiaolu away, and his husband was following behind silently without saying a word. He didn't know whether he would go back to collect money.

So he didn't call her.

It was agreed that if they brought the children back, they would be paid a reward for their hard work, and the three mothers all agreed to it.

Now when the child comes back, he won’t recognize anyone.

It's a bit unlike what happened.

But he couldn't just grab the other person and ask for the money now. What if they really didn't bring it? It would make him embarrassed.

Frankly speaking, even if he had no money, he might be annoyed when encountering such a thing, but he would still be willing to help.

He wasn't a particularly selfless guy.

But he still maintains the kindness and compassion of an ordinary person.

It’s like walking by a river and seeing someone fall in. If you can swim, you will definitely jump in to save that person.

People who save others do not necessarily do so for something.

This is a kind instinct.

At this time, Zhu's mother, who was hugging her son, suddenly reacted, let go of the child, pulled the man over, and said to Yu Qiutang, "Boss, Qiutang helped us bring Fengfeng back, thank him quickly.

We agreed last night that we would give the child some hard work compensation when he comes back."

The man nodded repeatedly and pulled out a black ID folder from his pocket with some bills inside. He flipped through it quickly and asked his wife, "How much?"

"Give..." Zhu's mother was suddenly stunned, remembering that Yu Qiutang didn't seem to say how much he wanted to give. He just said that he thought the child was worth and he could give it freely. She was immediately conflicted.

After thinking it over, he simply took all the money and stuffed it into Yu Qiutang's pocket. "Qiutang, this is all the money we have. I don't know how much it is. You take it all. My child's life cannot be bought back with money. We all know that.

But you see, my family is just like this, there is nothing more. We will remember your kindness in saving my child. If there is anything we can help you with in the future, just come to us directly, we will definitely not refuse. "

The man also nodded hurriedly: "I will definitely help."

Yu Qiutang glanced at Wang Haofeng, then at the money in his hand. A rough glance estimated that there were probably more than two hundred.

He took out ten ten-yuan notes and put the rest back into Zhu's mother's hands.

"Fengzi and I go into the mountains and we always get at least 100 yuan each time, so I'll take that amount and you can take the rest back..."

"Here, take it. There isn't much anyway..."

Zhu's mother hurriedly tried to stuff the money back.

Yu Qiutang stepped back and dodged, "That's enough. Give us all the money. You guys are having a hard time too. Take it back and take the children to the pharmacy quickly. Don't delay any longer."

"This……"

It was obvious that Zhu's mother was a person who would repay a favor. The more Yu Qiutang did this, the more embarrassed she felt, and she was caught in a dilemma for a while.

But her man seems to be a very honest man. Basically, he only says half a sentence when his wife says something and can't get a word in at all.

At this time, Wang Haofeng shouted: "Even though they said they wanted these, why are you forcing them on us? Are we going into the mountains just to make money from you?

Let me tell you, every time we go into the mountains, as long as we want to make money, we can..."

"Fengzi."

Yu Qiutang stopped his little fan from further expanding his influence.

Don't let outsiders know too much about the fact that he can make a lot of money in the mountains.

Everyone now only knows that he is powerful, but they don’t know how much money he can make.

It is most suitable.

Once they know how much money there is in the mountains, and with his new yard as a bonus, it might bring in some jealous dogs.

He once again persuaded Zhu's mother to go back quickly.

Only then did Zhu's mother leave with her husband and son in a state of gratitude.

When he came to his senses, he saw Li Liuzi's mother pulling Li Liuzi to kneel down in front of him, and he suddenly felt a headache.

"Don't let your children kowtow to others all the time. A man's knees are made of gold. This is not good."

"You are his savior," Liuzi's mother didn't care what Yu Qiutang said. She pressed her son's head down and asked him to kowtow. Liuzi had no choice but to obey.

Yu Qiutang really couldn't avoid it, so he had to take the hits from both of them before he pulled them up.

Kowtow is not completely unbearable.

His generation is higher than both the mother and the son.

It is very normal for younger generations here to kowtow to their elders. During New Year greetings, younger generations will kowtow immediately when they meet each other. It is absolutely impossible for the elders not to give them New Year's money.

After getting up, Liu Zi's mother continued, "My husband is out working and hasn't come back yet. There's not much money at home and he was in a hurry when he came out. I'll bring it to you later."

Yu Qiutang originally wanted to say that since they were from the same clan, we should just forget about it.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Just consider it as the price they paid for their previous arbitrariness towards their children.

He nodded.

"By the way, where is Wang Xiaolu's mother? What's going on in their family? Is she pretending to have forgotten?" Wang Haofeng suddenly reacted.

He shouted directly to Wang Xiaolu's family who had not yet completely left: "Hey, your money hasn't been paid yet!"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolu's family not only did not stop, but ran even faster.

Wang Haofeng was furious when he saw it.

He rushed over to argue with the other party.

Yu Qiutang smiled.

That's fine. They are really shameless people. It's best to let a tough guy like Wang Haofeng deal with them. It just so happens that they seem to be some relatives, so I can relax here.

He asked Liuzi's mother to take Liuzi back. Before Liuzi left, he sensibly thanked him again, and he rubbed the child's head.

Maybe what happened today is just a small matter to him.

But for this child, it will definitely leave an impression.

I hope that he can become a good young man and have his own life in the future.

The last wave of people here also left with Liu Zi's mother.

Of course, before leaving, I did not forget to praise Yu Qiutang.

I think it is a great thing to have such a capable young man in the village.

If there is any problem in the future, there is no need to go to other villages to find people.

It’s convenient here and costs less.

Yu Qiutang listened and did not refuse.

He thought this was a good way to make money, and most things in the mountains would not be difficult for him.

He looked over there and saw that Wang Haofeng and Wang Xiaolu's family were still arguing, so he didn't wait any longer and went back straight away.

He saw Miali waiting for him under the tree.

Seeing him coming back, she turned around and walked back, but very slowly, obviously waiting for him.

He quickened his pace and soon came to Miali.

"Waiting for me?"

Miyali didn't answer, "Are the children all right?"

"You only care about the children and not me?"

"You are an adult, why do you need my concern? Besides, haven't you heard what your villagers say? You are worth two people."

This was said somewhat jokingly.

Yu Qiutang grasped this change very keenly.

Before, when Miali talked to him, it was basically a question-and-answer session, with him often taking the initiative and Miali responding passively.

She took the initiative to joke today, which shows that her heart has opened up a lot.

better.

"They are right. There are dangers in the mountains, but as long as you don't go deep into the mountains, it's okay. Basically, nothing will happen."

"You are a great hero..."

I don't know what emotion this sentence conveys.

Yu Qiutang turned to look at Mi Yali, only to find that her eyes were a little swollen and slightly black, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mi Yali was about to nod, but she stopped and Yu Qiutang continued, "You're worried about me and can't sleep, right?"
