Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

We stayed at Taiping Hotel that night. The accommodation conditions were much better than those in Qingyang Town. The room was spacious and bright, and the bed was clean.

It only costs less than one dollar a night. Compared with the prices of hundreds of dollars in later generations, this is really free now.

Zhang Yaoyang went to the street, ready to find a restaurant to get something to eat, when he saw Zhang Mingtang's parents entering one of the larger state-owned restaurants.

This restaurant specializes in home-cooked banquets. The supply of wild wild vegetables is relatively limited and the prices are much higher than in Qingyang Town.

Zhang Yaoyang followed them and entered the store.

He was still wearing that light blue short-sleeved cotton shirt with the collar slightly open.

The lower body is matched with black straight trousers and a pair of army green liberation shoes.

Such a simple outfit seemed a bit shabby.

When a waiter in the restaurant saw him, he didn't let him in and just kept saying that the food here was expensive and if he wanted to eat cheaper he could buy it from a small stall in the market.

For those snacks, a bowl of noodles is only two or three cents, and it’s large, affordable and filling.

Zhang Yaoyang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would be looked down upon like this. It is true that clothes make the man, otherwise people would dislike him whenever he goes out.

When dealing with this kind of person, I was too lazy to argue with him and just took out ten dollars and shook it.

"Well, can we sit down and eat now?"

The waiter had already smiled and walked in steadily.

As a result, a man came down the stairs from the second floor and spoke shamelessly.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How can he come here to spend money? Let him go!"

The waiter seemed afraid to offend this person, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Director Yang. I'll do it right away!"

Turning around, he said helplessly to Zhang Yaoyang, "This guy... you saw it too. The guy just now didn't let you in, and I had no choice. This place is not a place where you can spend money. Don't make things difficult for me. Please go back!"

Zhang Yaoyang glanced meaningfully at the man on the stairs. He didn't even look at him any more, but went up to greet Zhang Mingtang and his wife.

I didn't expect to see this person in this place.

Zhang Yaoyang had no intention of making things difficult for the waiter, so he turned around and left.

He listened to the advice and went to the market, and ordered a bowl of noodles when the other party closed the business.

This thing is down-to-earth and although it doesn't have much oil, it is very filling. After eating a large bowl of it, you will sweat.

After eating and drinking, I went to the cinema to watch a unique movie, which only cost me two cents.

This thing can be seen occasionally in the village, but rarely. You can watch an open-air movie maybe once a month. It is free, but there are too many people and you often can't get a good seat.

Unlike the current cinema, it was spacious and had seats where you could sit. It was so lively watching the fighting and killing on the screen.

The expressions of the people around him watching movies always give him a lot of feelings.

He looked at the time. The movie had already been going on for half an hour, and only a small part of the plot had been shown. However, he had already seen these things, so it was time to leave.

Some people are too self-righteous and always have to pay something for their arrogance and prejudice.

Otherwise, it will make people feel unhappy.

He walked slowly along the brightly lit street.

The night in this place is really much better than the pitch-black darkness in Zhaojia Village.

At some point, he changed into black clothes and a wide straw hat, which shrouded him in darkness and made it impossible to see his entire appearance.

After waiting in an alley for about ten minutes, I saw Zhang Mingtang's parents walking out of the restaurant.

Behind them followed the young man from before, and a group of people who were accompanying him, who were greeting and saying goodbye to the two men.

After seeing the guests off, the young man waved goodbye to the people behind him and, reeking of alcohol, prepared to get into a car.

The car looks a bit odd inside, with its front end a bit crooked and slightly tilted.

But this is not the point. The point is that the person driving the car was obviously driving under the influence of alcohol.

Zhang Yaoyang jumped onto his heavy tractor and walked slowly behind it.

There were still some pedestrians on the road at that time, so the car was not driving very fast. No matter how useless the tractor was, it could still catch up.

It was just that people who were drunk kept honking their horns, which made people feel inexplicably bad.

After stopping and starting, the car left the territory of Taiping Township and was about to head towards the county town.

It was already a wilderness at this time. There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road, and it seemed very empty.

Generally speaking, driving in such places is better during the day. At night, if you are unlucky, you may easily encounter road robbers.

Obviously, this car had very bad luck. When it was passing an uphill road and slowing down, several large rocks suddenly rolled down from the side of the road.

That stone may easily cause a traffic accident.

As expected, the car crashed into it and just stayed there motionless.

The driver seemed to have lost his mind. Instead of backing up the car and leaving the place, he opened the car door and got out, intending to move the stone away.

As a result, five or six men rushed out from the shadows and intercepted him.

With the help of the bright car lights, Zhang Yaoyang could clearly see that these people were the gangsters who had dinner with the three Wu brothers.

I didn't expect that they would actually do this.

It’s a good thing these people didn’t come to rob his tractor, otherwise, they would have no chance of stopping the car.

He just hid quietly at the corner, watching this ridiculous scene.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a mobile phone, otherwise I could at least take a photo and post it on Tik Tok. I wonder how much traffic I could earn.

In this era, if you do something, it’s as if you didn’t do it. No one will find out and you can get away with it.

The poor driver was eventually stripped naked and beaten like a dead dog.

They were even afraid that he would drive the car to report the crime, so not only did they smash the car, they also pushed it to the bottom of a cliff to destroy it.

They didn't kill anyone, not because they didn't want to, but because they were scared away by a car that suddenly appeared.

When the car on the opposite side saw the young man lying in a pool of blood, it did not stop to meddle in the matter. Instead, it stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly.

Zhang Yaoyang slowly walked to the man and squatted down.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be so forgetful that you can't remember many things."

It doesn’t matter, this person can’t remember, but he does.

"When you were in Qingyang Town, you were chased and almost died in the wilderness. It was the people of Zhaojia Village who saved you. Do you remember, Yang Xuewen?"

Unexpectedly, the other party became successful so quickly, and his past arrogance returned to him once again.

I don’t know if he regrets this beating or not.

Yang Xuewen opened his swollen eyes and looked at him hard, wanting to say something, but his injuries were too severe and he couldn't speak at all.

Or maybe, he still wanted Zhang Yaoyang to save him, tsk tsk…

"Tell me what those two people from the capital said to you when they were having dinner together. If you listen to me, I may be able to save you."

Yang Xuewen had no choice but to tell the story with difficulty due to his serious injuries.

What a cruel heart!

Zhang Yaoyang's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this and he stood up suddenly.

"Thank you for letting me know. Go on your journey with peace of mind!"

"Don't go...save me...save..."

The moment he turned around, Yang Xuewen crawled a few steps unwillingly, but he spit out a mouthful of blood and died with his eyes open.

Tsk tsk... He died a miserable death. For a man like him, it’s better to save a dog than to save him.

What these bandits did had nothing to do with Zhang Yaoyang.

He was just eating noodles when he saw this group of hooligans gathered together, muttering about stones, cars, and smashing things.

There were only a few cars in the town, so they were easily targeted.

So, Zhang Yaoyang just had nothing to do and came to see the result.

Let me clear up another confusion along the way.

I have to say, the harvest was pretty good.

This result made him feel relieved, it was even better than that 2-cent movie.
