Chapter 44 The Painful Hard Hand
Director Wang nodded when he saw the joy on Chang Kun's face. These days, it's hard for young people to refuse a bicycle.
She then went on to tell the story of the bicycle's origin. It was a new Phoenix bicycle, originally purchased by the neighborhood office for internal use, but it was never used and ended up in the hands of Chang Kun.
She started calculating the bill for Chang Kun: "Your two blue sheep weighed 146 jin just now. At the market after dark, mutton is two yuan a jin, so let's say it's three hundred yuan in total."
Bicycle tickets are fifty yuan each. Buying a bicycle will cost two hundred yuan, leaving you with fifty yuan. Take some tickets as you see fit.
Chang Kun nodded. He had thought he would be lucky to get even a bicycle, but he was surprised to find that he still had some left.
Director Wang told him that radios and watches were hard to come by, so he listened to his advice and didn't take the radio or watch coupons. Instead, he picked out some grain coupons, cloth coupons, pastry coupons, and a few tobacco and alcohol coupons.
Liu Meifen put away the two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes her father hadn't smoked yet, saving them for important matters.
There are still several jars of loose liquor left, enough for my father to drink for a while. If Chang Kun were to buy him Fenjiu or Moutai, he would not be willing to drink them at all.
Chang Kun chatted with Director Wang for a while when a staff member from the subdistrict office walked in carrying two brown paper bags.
"Xiao Kun, this is the milk powder. It's not your money; consider it my way of thanking you for bringing Qingyang."
Chang Kun didn't stand on ceremony. Although milk powder was quite precious in those days, he could simply hunt some game himself as a return gift.
If you calculate human relationships too carefully, is it still a matter of human relationships?
"Xiao Kun, I'll go get your certificate done."
The police station that issues certificates is right next to the subdistrict office. Director Wang went out and returned in less than two minutes, holding a small green booklet in his hand.
"Hey, here's the vehicle permit. That Phoenix car outside is yours now. Remember to go to the police station next door every year to pay the vehicle permit fee of one yuan. I've taken care of everything else for you."
Chang Kun was a little excited; he had just gotten the most expensive item since his rebirth.
Having connections in the imperial court makes things much easier. Without connections, getting a bicycle would be incredibly difficult!
Holding the vehicle registration certificate in his hand, which bore the official stamp number and the issuing location, he examined it for a while before solemnly placing it in his pocket. From now on, he was a car owner.
"Aunt Wang, thank you!"
"Hey, you brought me something nice too! Just don't forget me if you get anything good next time."
Director Wang led Chang Kun to the bicycle shed, to a corner, and pulled off the tattered cloth covering the bicycle, revealing a classic 28-inch bicycle.
The car was brand new; it had been covered with a rag before, and there wasn't much dust on it.
Chang Kun tied the stroller to the back seat, put the milk powder in the cloth bag given by Director Wang, and hung it on the handlebars.
Director Wang watched Chang Kun ride away with a smile, reminding him to bring her any game he caught.
These days, anyone who can get their hands on meat is a real talent.
Chang Kun rode his bicycle, ringing the bell all the way, and passersby looked on with envy.
Unlike later generations, where luxury cars would follow people around honking their horns to see if anyone would tolerate such behavior.
Wheels are much faster than legs. It takes two hours to walk to the city, but it would probably only take forty minutes to ride a bicycle. It saves both effort and time. Aunt Wang has really done me a great favor.
Chang Kun, riding on his bike, checked the system notification.
[Ding! 100/100 wild bees captured, reward: 1 pound of royal jelly]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 180 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 500 meters.]
[Ding! Captured 1/1 antelope, reward: a cashmere scarf.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 200 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 550 meters.]
The girls have another delicious treat. It's already afternoon. I thought I could get home quickly after helping Yang Shunong get a honeycomb, but we ended up hunting two blue sheep on the way, which has delayed us until now.
I wonder if my mother is worrying or nagging me at home.
I'll buy some meat buns first, and bring them to my older sister along with the milk powder, then go home. If I walk, it'll probably be past midnight.
Thankfully, I now have a bicycle. If I hurry, I should be home before sunset.
Just as Chang Kun was thinking about something, he suddenly heard several screams coming from the alley.
"You filthy scoundrel, you're asking for it! Do you know who my brother is?"
Chang Kun stopped the car. Why did that voice sound so familiar? It seemed like he had heard it recently.
Turning around, I arrived at the entrance of the alley. In the narrow alley, two men and a woman were facing each other.
A skinny, short man, his face covered in bruises, held a piece of iron rod in his hand and grinned maliciously, saying, "Big brother, this is the bitch. She beat me to a pulp the other day, but I finally caught her!"
Another tall, burly man licked his lips: "You coward! This little chili pepper looks pretty good. Let me try it and see if it's really spicy!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms and lunged forward.
The girl opposite him was the same girl Chang Kun had met a few days ago, the one he had helped catch the thief.
Unexpectedly, I ran into her again, and she was cornered in an alley by the thief from yesterday, which seemed to be in some danger.
The girl's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with panic, and she looked left and right, trying to find a chance to escape.
Holding a rope in her hand, she gestured nervously, shouting, "My brother is the police station chief! Are you two looking to die?"
"Hehe, I love it when you resist. Go ahead and scream, scream your lungs out..."
Before the tall, burly man could finish speaking, he was suddenly kicked hard in the lower back. With a sharp pain, he tumbled to the ground in front of him.
Chang Kun stood in the alley, toes retracted, 56-foot half-raised, grinning at the thief:
"What's wrong? You weren't happy about getting beaten up the other day, so you're here to get beaten up again?"
The short, thin thief turned around and saw Chang Kun pointing a gun. He trembled with fear. "Brother, we have no grudge against each other. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Who are you calling 'big brother'? Your big brother's lying on the ground pretending to be dead!" Chang Kun glared. "The main road is flooded, the side road is haunted. You deserve to fall into my hands!"
Seeing that she was saved, the girl's pale face regained some color.
She crept along the wall to Chang Kun's back, poked her head out, and glared fiercely at the thief.
"Those two bastards are incredibly audacious, trying to get revenge on me. I'll teach them a lesson today!"
Before long, the two thieves were bound hand and foot, hopping on the ground, being kicked forward by the girl.
The girl muttered curses under her breath: "You ran away a few days ago, and you still dare to come back for revenge? You've got some nerve!"
If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know that Lord Horse has three eyes!
As they walked out of the alley, the girl said she would take the thief to the police station. She turned and smiled at Chang Kun.
"Thank you so much for helping me again. My name is Cheng Min. What's your name? Do you work in the city?"
"Chang Kun doesn't live in the city; he lives in a village to the north, near the mountains."
Cheng Min glanced at Chang Kun again, silently repeating "Chang Kun, a village near the mountains to the north," and decided to visit him to express her gratitude when she had some free time.
If stopping the thief for her last time was a small favor, saving her this time is a great favor.
Her principle is to repay kindness.
Just then, Chang Kun heard a system notification sound.
[Ding! 1/1 Thug captured, reward: Tough Hand that Claws Hard.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 220 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 600 meters.]
Chang Kun: ? ? ?
What the heck?
What kind of weird skill did the system reward me with?!
