Perhaps because the band was in such a sorry state this time, they took a long break and did not come out again for several days.
According to them, the band and the private army would definitely make a trip to the Jing Mountains. It was just a matter of time.
What exactly was in the Jing Mountains? Ren Xiaosu felt that this group of people's desire to go to the Jing Mountains was far greater than their invitation to perform at Stronghold 112.
The Jing Mountains covered a vast area, and probably no one had really explored the hinterlands of the mountains yet. Just what kind of information did the stronghold's overseers receive?
In the morning, Yan Liuyuan carried the new school bag that Sister Xiaoyu had just sewn for him to class. He was feeling very happy.
But when he arrived at the school, he realized something was wrong. Why was it that all of his classmates were looking at him the moment he walked through the door?
Yan Liuyuan did not want to bother with them, so he sat down in his seat. However, all of his classmates gathered around him. Li Youqian, the stocky girl from Old Li's family at the grocery store, was the first to say to Ren Xiaosu, "Liuyuan, can you go back and tell your brother to stop delaying the class?"
"That's right." Wang Fugui's silly son also complained, "He's delaying the class every day, so we don't have time to play anymore."
Yan Liuyuan was also conflicted over this matter. He said helplessly, "If what I said was useful, he would have stopped delaying the class a long time ago."
Everyone became unhappy when they heard him say that. Li Youqian sneered and said, "Mr. Zhang hasn't paid your brother a salary yet. I heard that your family doesn't lack money right now, so why are you so concerned about it? What, you want to take over the school already? He's just a substitute teacher, so it's not his place to tell us what to do … Ouch! "
Li Youqian cried out in pain.
Yan Liuyuan got up and kicked Li Youqian in the hip. No one expected Yan Liuyuan to suddenly flare up. Yan Liuyuan sneered and said, "What my brother taught you is knowledge that can allow you to survive in the wilderness. It's fine if you aren't grateful, but you're actually talking bad about him behind his back? Don't blame me for being ruthless if anyone speaks of this again in the future."
Yan Liuyuan was 14 years old this year, but Li Youqian was already 16 years old. The two of them were about the same height, but Li Youqian was much more muscular than Yan Liuyuan.
Back when Wang Fugui wanted to introduce Li Youqian to Ren Xiaosu, Yan Liuyuan said that Li Youqian was very sturdy. At that time, Yan Liuyuan really wasn't lying …
However, at this moment, when the other students looked at Yan Liuyuan, it was as though they were looking at a miniature version of Ren Xiaosu. The ferocity that the two of them exuded was exactly the same.
Although Yan Liuyuan often choked people, he looked a lot milder than Ren Xiaosu. Why did he become like this the moment Ren Xiaosu was mentioned?
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that Yan Liuyuan also had a certain wildness hidden deep in his bones.
Li Youqian originally wanted to get up and retaliate, but when she saw Yan Liuyuan's expression, she gave up. "I'm not talking bad about him. I'm just speaking the truth."
At this moment, Yan Liuyuan was the first to feel conflicted. He was clearly the one who didn't want Ren Xiaosu to drag out the class the most!
Mr. Zhang walked in with his hands behind his back. "Why are all of you gathered together? Return to your seats and prepare for class. "
All the students hurriedly returned to their seats. After school, Mr. Zhang looked quite amiable, but during class, he was stricter than anyone else.
Wang Fugui's silly son, Wang Dalong, sat down beside Yan Liuyuan. He was also Yan Liuyuan's deskmate.
Wang Dalong secretly sized up Yan Liuyuan. When he saw that Yan Liuyuan was still sulking, he wanted to find a topic to resolve the awkwardness. "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that my father found me a stepmother. She didn't treat me well."
Yan Liuyuan glanced at him. "It's fine. Dreams are always the opposite of reality."
Wang Dalong beamed when he heard that. "That's true."
Yan Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "I think he might have found you a stepfather."
Wang Dalong: "???"
…
That night, Ren Xiaosu and the others were having dinner. After dinner, they were going to make up for Yan Liuyuan and the others' homework. But at this moment, they saw Wang Fugui angrily leading a sobbing Wang Dalong into the clinic. "Ren Xiaosu, come out here right now!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned as he held his bowl of rice. "What's the matter?"
"Ask Liuyuan what he said to my son. He started crying the moment he got home." When Wang Fugui recalled what his son had said while crying, he got angry.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan. Yan Liuyuan obediently sat in a chair. "I said that Old Wang might have found him a stepfather."
Ren Xiaosu: "???"
Wang Dalong cried even louder.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan. "That's where you're wrong, Liuyuan. How could you say that about him?" He turned around and comforted Wang Dalong in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, your father will only find you a stepmother at most. A stepfather definitely won't happen."
Wang Dalong was stunned. A stepmother wouldn't do either! Keep crying!
This made Wang Fugui angry. "I'm really thankful that you explained it for me!"
"Gratitude received from Wang Fugui, + 1!"
Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. Although it was a little painful to get this gratitude token, it was still a gratitude token!
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu felt like a magical door was slowly opening for him.
Just like that, he had 11 gratitude tokens!
Suddenly, Wang Fugui seemed to have thought of something, and even his anger dissipated. He reminded Ren Xiaosu, "Chen Haidong, it's something that our town's overseer accidentally mentioned yesterday. He said that strange things seem to be happening in the other strongholds, and it's the same in Stronghold 113 as well."
"What is it?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.
"He doesn't seem to be very clear about the specifics." Wang Fugui said, "I'll let you know if there's any news. In any case, be careful. Whenever something strange happens these days, it's usually not a good thing."
After Wang Fugui left, Yan Liuyuan asked, "Why did Old Wang say that whenever something strange happens these days, it's usually not a good thing?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because our definition of a good thing is too narrow. Only something that's good for us can be considered a good thing."
"Then are we wrong to think that way?" Yan Liuyuan asked. Although he had attended more classes than Ren Xiaosu, he was honestly not as hardworking as Ren Xiaosu.
In the past, when he was slacking off, Ren Xiaosu would always read the books he borrowed from Mr. Zhang. Sometimes, Yan Liuyuan thought that since Ren Xiaosu was already so capable, why should he still work hard?
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan and said, "Remember, it's not wrong to think that way. Only something that's beneficial to us is a good thing. There's nothing wrong with being selfish. I'm asking you to be a person with a bottom line, not to be a goody two shoes. "
