Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

After the village tyrant Ma Dabao left, the family returned to a brief period of peace.

Mother Chen Yufen walked into the kitchen quietly and started busying herself preparing dinner.

Chen Feng followed him in and said to his mother, "Mom, please bake a few more pancakes tonight. We may have to be busy for a while."

The mother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and almost dropped the dough in her hand, but she quickly recovered and nodded gently without asking any more questions. She knew that her son must have his reasons for doing this.

The food was served and the family sat around together.

Chen Feng ate his meal in big mouthfuls, saying as he ate, "After dinner, I'll take Ning Yao to Lijia Village and leave overnight."

Ning Yao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand: "No, I won't go. Chen Feng, I can't let you face them alone."

Chen Feng put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Yao seriously: "Listen to me, just like last time we met a tiger, I told you to hide in the tree. Wait until I kill the tiger, then you can come back. It's the same this time, you have to trust me."

Ning Yao's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled. "But the village tyrant is not a tiger. Ma Dabao is relying on his father's power, and that power is much more powerful than a tiger. If I go back to Lijia Village, it might be even more dangerous. It's better to go directly to the police station and ask Uncle Zhou for help."

Chen Feng's heart moved when he heard this.

Ning Yao was right, looking for Zhou Guohui was indeed a solution.

He pondered for a moment and nodded. "You're right. It's a good idea to find Instructor Zhou. Okay, after dinner, I'll take you to the police station."

While eating, Chen Feng talked a lot in his mind.

He had just traveled to this era and had limited resources. Apart from his brute force and some knowledge from later generations, he often seemed powerless in the face of power.

This incident made him deeply realize that strength and knowledge alone are not enough, but power and connections are also needed.

He thought that after passing this stage, he must pay attention to cultivating his own network of contacts.

In this era, only those with power have the right to speak and can better protect themselves and those around them.

After dinner, they did not go out immediately, but waited until dark before Chen Feng took Ning Yao out.

It was late at night and there were few lights in the countryside, but the moonlight was still bright. The two walked along the path towards the police station.

On the way, Chen Feng pulled Ning Yao's sleeve, fearing that she would be scared or unable to keep up.

Although Ning Yao walked slowly, he felt at ease next to Chen Feng, and there was no sign of retreat on his face.

Chen Feng secretly admired this seemingly weak woman, who was actually stronger than many people.

Arriving at the police station dormitory, Chen Feng knocked on the door and heard a familiar voice from inside: "Who is it?"

"Instructor Zhou, it's me, Chen Feng. And Ning Yao, we'd like to ask for your help with something." Chen Feng said loudly.

The door opened quickly and Zhou Guohui appeared at the door.

He glanced at Chen Feng and Ning Yao, frowning slightly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

...

The next morning, Village Chief Ma brought Ma Dabao and arrived at Chen Feng's house with angry faces, followed by several villagers. The atmosphere was tense.

Ma Dabao stood outside the door and shouted, "Chen Feng, come out! You have to give me an explanation for what you did yesterday!"

Chen Feng walked out of the house without the slightest fear: "Village Chief Ma, I made it very clear yesterday that Ma Dabao's attempt to forcibly take people away is illegal. I must bravely fight against illegal behavior."

Ma Dabao was so angry that he jumped up and down, and wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Village Chief Ma.

Village Chief Ma glared at Chen Feng and sneered, "How capable do you think you are? Let me tell you, I, Ma, speak for the organization in this village. You dare to go against the organization? Just based on this fact, I can have you arrested!"

At this moment, a voice rang out from Chen Feng's room, "Who are you going to capture? You're so arrogant! I don't think even the military commanders are as impressive as you. Village Chief Ma, were you giving me an order just now?"

Zhou Guohui, wearing a police uniform, walked out of the room.

When Village Chief Ma saw this, he thought that Zhou Guohui had really come. It seemed that this kid surnamed Chen was really related to him. Fortunately, he was prepared.

"Instructor Zhou is here too?" Village Chief Ma said with a smile, "But isn't your police station responsible for the town's organizational activities?"

Zhou Guohui said calmly, "Can someone call the police? I'll go if someone calls the police. Do you have any objections, Village Chief Ma?"

At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound and two bicycles came from a distance.

On the bicycle in the middle, a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and with a serious face rode all the way to where they were. It was Deputy Mayor Jin.

Deputy Mayor Jin dismounted his bicycle, looked around, and finally his gaze landed on Zhou Guohui. "Comrade Guohui, I heard something unpleasant happened here yesterday. As the town leader, it's my responsibility to mediate."

Zhou Guohui stepped forward and said firmly, "Deputy Mayor Jin, you've arrived just in time. We received a report of someone attempting to rape a woman, so we dispatched officers today."

Deputy Mayor Jin nodded and looked at Ma Dabao and the village chief: "Is that so? Village Chief Ma, Ma Dabao, tell me."

Ma Dabao was filled with indignation. "Deputy Mayor Jin, you have to make the decision for me! That brat Chen Feng, he, he actually dared to hit me! And he even talked about protecting Ning Yao. Ning Yao was the wife my father found for me and for the Dajun brothers. They follow their husbands, so it's only right for me to take her away!"

Village Chief Ma also echoed: "Yes, Deputy Mayor Jin, look, this Chen Feng is too arrogant. In our village, we still have to abide by organizational discipline, right?"

Chen Feng couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and shouted, "What kind of organizational discipline is this? You call forcing a woman into abducting someone? Are you trying to discredit the organization? I'm telling you, even if the Jade Emperor came today, I wouldn't let you take Ning Yao away!"

Deputy Mayor Jin's face darkened, and he shouted at Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, what is your background? Ah? What kind of leader do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Chen Feng straightened his back, his gaze unflinching. "I'm not a leader, just an ordinary citizen. But as an ordinary citizen, I'm saying this today: Today, don't even think about taking anyone away from here!"

Deputy Mayor Jin's face turned pale with anger, and just as he was about to explode, Zhou Guohui interrupted him, saying, "Xiao Chen, what you said is quite true. Back when I was in the army, if someone reported a crime, I would go out and protect the victim. I also heard about the law yesterday, and I'm here today to uphold the law."

Deputy Mayor Jin snorted in displeasure. "Comrade Guohui, this is clearly an overstepping of your authority and a violation of organizational discipline. I'll have to report this to the rest of the team."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the distance, accompanied by a surprised voice: "Xiao Chen, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time!"

Chen Feng turned around upon hearing the voice and saw that the person coming was Director Sun from the state-owned medicine store that purchased his matsutake mushrooms.
