Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Ju Wen retorted angrily, "Why should I only give you twenty yuan? If that's not enough, go to the police station and reason with them!"

"Go to the police station, who's afraid of you? Don't run away, give me the car!"

A young man with long hair pushed Ju Wen aside and snatched her bicycle.

"Why did you steal my car? Give it back!"

The two young men, each in a car, turned around and left.

"Weren't we going to the police station? You'll have to come running with us!"

Ju Wen was so angry that she jumped up and down and chased after him.

You should know that this Phoenix brand 28 bicycle was bought with several months' worth of my own savings, costing more than 180 yuan.

Let alone having them steal it, Ju Wen would be heartbroken even if they just chipped a piece of paint off it.

"Take it back!"

She was anxiously waiting behind, but her legs couldn't keep up with the wheels.

Just then, a country boy appeared ahead.

"What right do you have to bully girls?"

The boy reached out and pulled the long-haired man off the car.

"Return the car to them!"

The long-haired boy was pulled down and tumbled over.

The boy took the car.

Longhair and his accomplices were furious when they saw this.

He jumped up and ran towards the boy.

Originally, according to Zhao Balai's instructions, these two hooligans were to steal Ju Wen's car and run away as soon as someone came to stop them.

Lu Yao thus struck up a conversation with Ju Wen, and now it was up to Lu Yao to figure out how to use his words to fool Ju Wen.

Those two hooligans have completed their mission.

But when Changmao was tripped by Lu Yao, he became furious.

"You damn country bumpkin, you really hurt me!"

He picked up a brick and it flew over.

They didn't know Lu Yao, nor did they know that this operation was planned by Lu Yao and Zhao Balai.

Lu Yao didn't expect that he wouldn't run away, but would come back and take action.

Without noticing, a brick hit him right on the back of the head.

Bang

Lu Yao swayed and almost fell.

Longhair came up too.

"I'll kill you!"

Lu Yao was furious.

You want to fight again?

He turned around and reached out; the two thugs were no match for him.

Lu Yao possesses the robust physique of a country boy, coupled with the superb reflexes and experience of a mercenary.

In no time, he beat the two boys so badly they were pushing their bicycles and running away.

Ju Wen was very grateful when she saw that the young man from the countryside had helped her get her bicycle back.

He came over to express his gratitude: "Young comrade, thank you so much... What's wrong?"

As soon as he asked the question, Lu Yao staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ju Wen panicked when she saw the blood all over his neck:

"Oh no, so much blood! Quick, I'll take you to the hospital."

Lu Yao shook his head: "It's not that serious. I'll find a place to wash it off and bandage it up!"

As he spoke, he struggled to his feet and prepared to leave.

Ju Wen quickly called out to him:

"Then don't bother looking for a place. My home is in the alley. My mom is the head nurse at the county hospital. Come home with me and let my mom help you take care of it."

Although being hit with a brick was an accident, it actually won Ju Wen's favor even more.

He simply took Lu Yao back to his own home.

He asked his mother, a nurse, to help him bandage his wound.

When Ju Wen's mother, Yu Lan, heard that Lu Yao had been injured while helping his daughter, she quickly bandaged him up.

Then they made tea and poured water, treating him like a guest.

Just then, Ju Wen's father, Ju Zhenghua, also came home from get off work.

Upon seeing Lu Yao sitting on the long sofa drinking tea, and asking who he was, she frowned slightly.

Although he helped his daughter, Ju Zhenghua felt that Lu Yao was just a country boy, and that Ju Wen, as a girl and a county official, shouldn't get too close to him.

Lu Yao had long understood Ju Zhenghua's personality.

Although this cadre, a veteran of the Red Army, was a bit arrogant, he was not a bad person.

Once you get to know them, they're very loyal.

So I started chatting with him.

We can't befriend the Ju family father and daughter the same way we befriend Zhao Balai.

This is Lu Yao's way of life.

That depends on who you meet and what you say!

In just a few words, Ju Zhenghua brought up the topic of military campaigns.

This immediately changed Ju Zhenghua's opinion of him.

This young man may be from the countryside, but he has insightful views!

He highly praised Lu Yao and personally filled a cup of tea for him.

"Kid, you managed to fight off two thugs, so you must be in great physical condition and have a good understanding of military matters. Would you be interested in joining the army?"

Lu Yao smiled slightly:

"Uncle Ju, although serving my country in the army is one of my biggest wishes, my mother is in poor health and my younger sister is not yet an adult, so I will have to wait a few years until my sister is old enough to work before I go!"

Ju Zhenghua was slightly disappointed upon hearing this.

Although the conscription season has passed, if Lu Yao is interested in joining the army, he can be sent to the military for training immediately.

So he asked about Lu Yao's life.

Lu Yao directly took out two old ginseng roots:

"Uncle Ju, although we earn work points in the countryside, our income is not as high as that of workers in the city. However, we have side jobs. We can collect mountain products for the supply and marketing cooperative, and we can also hunt to supplement our food rations."

Ju Zhenghua nodded: "Although the country has not explicitly banned hunting, you must never hunt and sell the animals; that's speculation and profiteering."

"No, no. We only eat them ourselves, and we give them to relatives and friends. Uncle Ju, Sister Ju Wen, you'll be my uncles and sisters from now on. If you want any wild game, just tell me. These two ginseng roots are my welcoming gift to you all!"

Ju Zhenghua quickly waved his hands.

"No need for that. We can't take even a needle or thread from the people!"

"Then I'll recognize you as my godfather and call you godfather. That way, it won't count as accepting a gift!"

Lu Yao looked at Ju Zhenghua with great sincerity.

In his previous life, he had a very good relationship with Ju Wen and called Ju Zhenghua "uncle" for more than ten years. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to recognize Ju Wen as his godfather in this life.

While Ju Zhenghua was still hesitating, Ju Wen was overjoyed.

She is an only child and envies others who have many brothers and sisters.

She was overjoyed when a handsome young man suddenly appeared and wanted to recognize her as his older sister.

Ju Zhenghua and his wife also really liked Lu Yao.

And so, Lu Yao got another dinner at the Ju family's house.

He successfully integrated himself into the Ju family and even got Ju Zhenghua drunk until his tongue was stiff.

Before leaving, Lu Yao held Ju Zhenghua's hand and gave him some final words of advice:

"Uncle Ju, there's something I'm not sure if I should say. I feel bad if I don't say it, but if I do, I'm afraid you won't believe me."

Ju Zhenghua's face darkened:

"Comrade Xiao Lu, you're really taking me for granted now that you don't treat me like your godfather."

Lu Yao then said, "When I was a child, I learned a little about face reading from an old fortune teller in the village. I felt that my godmother's face showed some signs of impending disaster."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yao said in a serious tone:

"I didn't see the specifics very clearly, but remember this: before the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, whatever you do, do not take a large bus!"

Yu Lan laughed: "I'm usually busy with work and rarely go out. Why would I take a big bus? This kid must be drunk!"

However, Lu Yao still told Ju Wen to trust him and not to let her mother take a long-distance bus.

Seeing his concern, the Ju family nodded in agreement.

Lu Yao knew that Ju Wen had mentioned to him many times later that her mother had died in a car accident half a month before the Spring Festival in early 1973.

He died in a bus accident.

Lu Yao couldn't remember the exact date, so he could only say it was before the fifteenth of the twelfth lunar month.
