South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Having been a police detective for so many years in his previous life, he had studied counter-reconnaissance thoroughly. Although this man was quite vigilant, he was still a little worse than him.

After getting off the bus, the man walked into an alley. Yuan Mu followed him in, turning left and right along the way. Finally, Yuan Mu saw the man enter a house. Yuan Mu stood not far away waiting.

After about ten minutes, the man came out again, and Yuan Mu hurriedly followed him. Just as they passed the house, three men in their twenties came out, looking sloppy.

Yuan Mu didn't care at first and was about to pass by the three men, but one of the men bumped into Yuan Mu.

"Damn it! Are you blind?" The man who bumped into him got furious and started cursing at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu frowned and pushed the man aside, ready to follow, but his action angered the others, and the remaining two men came up and pushed Yuan Mu.

"You dare to hit my brother! Believe it or not, I will break your legs!"

"Get out of here! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Yuan Mu pushed the two men away and walked forward again.

But his legs were suddenly tied up. He looked down and found that the man he had pushed away was holding his legs.

"Brothers! Beat him up!"

Yuan Mu finally realized that these three people were in the same group as the man he was following. He had been discovered, but how did he get exposed? Yuan Mu was completely confused.

Well! This trip was in vain. I have been playing with the eagle all day and ended up being pecked by the eagle!

He casually sent away the three thugs and walked back. This trip was in vain as the person was lost.

But this made one thing even more certain, that there must be something wrong with the man that he was following, and it was probably a big problem!

But it doesn’t matter. I remember his face, and the three men who just stopped me. I remember them all. It won’t be the same next time they meet!

On the same day, Yuan Mu took another train back to Ningyang, but it was already early in the morning when he got home. He got home in the dark, wiped himself casually, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Today is Sunday, and Yuan Mu wanted to have a rest day and sleep in, but that didn't happen because he heard a knock on the door.

Reluctantly, he put on his clothes and got out of bed, went to the door and opened it, only to see Yao Yuling standing there.

"Comrade Yao Yuling, is there anything wrong?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"Brother Yuan, you can just call me Xiao Yao, no need to call me comrade. We live in the same compound, it would be so awkward," Yao Yuling said in her standard coquettish voice.

If this happened in her previous life, Yao Yulin's voice would be a typical Northeastern voice. She is usually gentle and pleasant, but at heart she is still a real Northeastern woman, very tough.

Of course, this sentence is not meant to be derogatory. He was from Northeast China in his previous life. Men from Northeast China are called men, and women are called women. It just doesn't sound so nice.

"Okay, Xiaoyao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Brother Yuan, can I go in and talk?" Yao Yuling said, glancing inside the house.

"Okay, come in." Yuan Mu nodded and moved aside.

"Oh my god! You just got up?" Yao Yuling smiled when she saw the quilt in the room.

"Well, I came back a little late last night, so I wanted to sleep a little longer." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"So am I disturbing your sleep?"

"No, it's the same for me. I could have slept a little longer today, but I woke up on time. I just lay there the whole time." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Oh." Yao Yuling nodded.

"Well, if you have something to say, just tell me."

"It's like this. I want to ask if you have any extra cloth coupons. I want to borrow some." Yao Yuling said embarrassedly.

"Cloth coupons? Don't you have the most cloth coupons? What? You still need to make clothes?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"No, I altered my work clothes a bit and they no longer fit, so I thought about changing them back."

"Oh, so that's the case. Then you wait a moment." Yuan Mu nodded, then walked towards the bedroom and rummaged through the drawers of the cabinet. In fact, it was just a cover-up, as all his money and bills were in the space.

After a while, he took out a few cloth coupons and handed them to Yao Yuling.

"Here, take them all. I don't need them."

"Oh my god, thank you Brother Yuan. Don't worry, I will return it to you when the time comes." Yao Yuling happily took the cloth coupons.

As soon as Yao Yuling walked out of Yuan Mu's house, she saw Niu Dali waiting on the side. When he saw Yao Yuling coming out, he hurried forward.

"Yao'er, I got the cloth coupons, look!" Niu Dali took out the cloth coupons from his pocket as if he was presenting a treasure.

But Niu Dali was destined to be disappointed, as he arrived a little too late.

"No need. I've already borrowed it from Brother Yuan." Yao Yuling took out the cloth coupons from her pocket and said.

Niu Dali's smile disappeared instantly, and then he laughed dryly twice.

"Well, why don't you give it back to Brother Yuan? Use this in case Brother Yuan needs it."

"Brother Yuan is alone, and he told me that he doesn't need it. Besides, I will return it to him myself." Yao Yuling was still unwilling to use Niu Dali's cloth coupons.

In fact, Yuan Mu didn't mean to do this. It was just a coincidence. Although Yuan Mu didn't like Yao Yuling very much, Yao Yuling was not suitable as a lover, but she was still a good friend.

So Yuan Mu had no intention of stopping associating with her, and lent her the cloth coupons. But who would have thought that Niu Dali also got the cloth coupons?

If anyone is to blame, it is Niu Dali's bad luck. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

However, what everyone didn’t know was that Niu Dali exchanged this cloth coupon from a ticket scalper, and it cost him a lot of money. Now that he didn’t use it, didn’t he get it in vain?

In the evening, Niu Dali came to Yuan Mu's house with a bottle of wine and some peanuts.

"Hey, Dali, what are you doing?" Yuan Mu opened the door and saw Niu Dali standing at the door in a daze.

"Well, Brother Yuan, let me treat you to some wine." Niu Dali smiled and raised the wine in his hand.

"Why is this guy inviting me to drink for no reason? Is there something wrong?" Yuan Mu was a little confused.

"Nothing, just chatting with you. You see, you've been back for such a long time, and I haven't had a drink with you, right?"

"Oh, okay, come in." Yuan Mu nodded.

Yuan Mu prepared two more dishes, and then they both started drinking.

After drinking for a while, Yuan Mu finally figured out why Niu Dali came to him. It turned out to be because of Yao Yuling. He borrowed Yao Yuling's cloth coupons and thought he fell in love with Yao Yuling.

Finally, Yuan Mu repeatedly explained to Niu Dali that he didn't like Niu Dali at all. Only then did he feel relieved. He called him Brother Yuan all the time and promised Niu Dali that he would definitely help him if he had any problems in the future.
