Siheyuan: The Cellar

In 54, the national unified college entrance examination was held on August 8 and lasted for three days.

The subjects include Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages ​​(Russian or English), Chinese and foreign history and geography, physics, political knowledge, and biology.

The total score is 500 points.

But in 55, the exam was held in July. There were also many policy adjustments.

Chen Guoliang was also confused about this and could only wait and see.

At the end of the day, almost all the teachers did the same thing: those who didn't do their homework had to stand at the back.

Then every time Chen Guoliang stood up and prepared to stand in the corner as punished, he was stopped by the teacher.

He also took the initiative to find excuses for Chen Guoliang.

In just one day, Chen Guoliang passively experienced many things such as delivering a sow's baby and taking care of the neighbor's children.

The students in the class looked at Chen Guoliang with eyes that were almost spitting fire.

This is too insulting. They all didn't do their homework, so why is Chen Guoliang different from them?

Is it just because he has good grades and ranks first in every subject?

It’s amazing to have good grades!

Um, okay, it's really remarkable.

After school, Chen Guoliang walked out with his schoolbag on his back. Because of the teachers' favoritism, he could feel that his already bad popularity seemed to be even worse.

Just after walking a few steps out of the school, Chen Guoliang, who was thinking about something, felt as if he had loaded something.

"Are you blind? You can't see so many people at such a big place!"

Chen Guoliang looked over and saw a skinny guy sitting on the ground with a wronged look on his face. Four or five young men, about 17 or 18 years old, immediately surrounded him.

Well, I encountered a scammer.

No, to be more precise, they encountered a group of thieves who were trying to rob people. But this group of people were more particular and even knew to put on a fake vest. It was obvious that they were being guided by an expert.

"Well, let's talk about what we're going to do with this, guys!" Chen Guoliang asked with a smile.

The young man in the lead raised his head and said proudly, "You are a wise guy. We won't make it difficult for you. Pay 20,000 yuan. This matter will be over. What do you think?"

"Okay, how about we go into the alley and talk? It's not good to be seen on the main road. What do you guys think?"

After hearing this, several people thought that this made sense. This was on the main street. If someone saw it and reported it to the police station or if a teacher at school saw it, it would be really troublesome.

At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh that they were so lucky in the past. They had always been begging for money on the roadside, and had never been hit by anyone once.

After Chen Guoliang finished speaking, he ignored the others and walked straight into the alley next to him alone.

"That's enough. You're quite sensible. I'll give you 20,000 yuan a month from now on. Your business will be our Qinglong Gang's business from now on."

When Chen Guoliang heard this, he was like, Wow! The Qinglong Gang sounds intimidating. He immediately nodded in approval.

"The exchange terms are reasonable. Give me the money."

The leading thug was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Guoliang's words, and said uncertainly: "Did you not understand what I meant just now?"

"I understand. Your brother hit me, and you are going to pay me 20,000 yuan as an apology.

Then you think I'm a good guy and have the potential to be a big brother. Prepare to give me another 20,000 yuan a month. Let me protect your Green Worm Gang."

After listening to Chen Guoliang's explanation, the gangster leader suddenly became furious.

"Are you sick? There are so many of us that need your protection? I asked you to give us 20,000 yuan and we will protect you! Do you understand? We are protecting you, not you protecting us."

"Oh, I see! So you are collecting protection money from me?"

Seeing that Chen Guoliang finally understood what he meant, the leading young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He quickly said, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Why are you standing there? Give me the money!"

"Oh, so, I don't have any money! Can't you see I'm a poor man?"

The leader looked at Chen Guoliang's clothes, which were patchless and even looked a bit new. He then looked at his brothers' clothes, which were full of patches. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Before the leader could say anything, the second in command of the Qinglong Gang couldn't help but said, "I'm so poor, you're a fucking bastard, guys, beat him up. This little bastard is playing tricks on us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the second in command rushed forward first.

Seeing that the other party was coming at him aggressively, Chen Guoliang was not panicked at all, and directly took out the 'Title Reward - Conquer People with Virtue - Seven Deadly Sins - Small Brick'.

When he was studying it last night, he discovered that this brick was extremely strong, and it could be placed in the system inventory, so it could be accessed freely with just a thought.

It can be said to be a must-have item for home travel and robbing.

Five minutes later, Chen Guoliang squatted down and said to the leader: "What is your gang called?"

The leader, who was bleeding from his nose and lying on the ground trembling with his hands on his stomach, said tremblingly: "Qing, Qinglong Gang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guoliang knocked the man down again with a brick.

Then he walked over to the second in command and asked, "I didn't hear what your boss just said. What is your gang called?"

This second in command is even more miserable than the leader.

Because he was the first one to rush up, his speed was so fast that one side of his face hit Chen Guoliang's brick directly.

Seeing that Chen Guoliang started to smash things up when he said something wrong, he said with a little slack in his mouth: "Qinglong..."

After saying just two words, he saw Chen Guoliang raise his brick again, and the second in command immediately changed his words and said, "Green Worm Gang."

Chen Guoliang nodded, and then walked to the skinny monkey who was sitting on the ground at the beginning.

"Did I bump into you just now?"

"No, no, I bumped into you."

"Oh, I see! Are you sure you remember this correctly? You want me to pay you money?"

"No, no, no, you remembered it wrongly. What we said was that we hit you and we will compensate you."

Chen Guoliang tossed the brick in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't force yourself. I have always convinced people with my virtue. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me directly."

Everyone looked at the brick that Chen Guoliang threw into the air and then fell into his hands, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.

This guy is definitely a psychopath. It's no wonder he carries a brick with him.

There are words engraved on the brick. It would be fine if it was just words, but they even engraved the word "德".

Now you are telling me that one can win people over with virtue. Are you using the "virtue" on your brick?

In this regard, the Qinglong guys actually misunderstood Chen Guoliang. Because the word "德" was not carved by him at all. He carried it with him.

Chen Guoliang's understanding of this is that the seven deadly sins are one of the primitive desires of human beings, and only people with virtue can control them.

And he just happens to have such a good character. The combination of the two is a natural combination.
