Chapter 635 The World Outside is Too Dangerous
Zhou Zhigang sent Li Zhenmin and others to the main intersection and gave them some long-winded instructions.
Zhou Bingkun said he remembered it, and then took Li Zhenmin and Li Wanying away on the donkey.
Zhou Zhigang kept watching the three people's backs as they left, until their figures disappeared in the snow-covered world. He stood there for a long time before slowly turning around and going to the hospital.
On the road.
Li Wanying was a person who could liven up the atmosphere. With her guidance and questioning, Zhou Bingkun temporarily diverted his attention and introduced the local customs and some interesting cultural stories to Li Zhenmin and the others along the way.
At the same time, Li Wanying also told Zhou Bingkun about some things in Sijiu City and the various situations she saw along the way.
As we chatted, we talked about our plans for the future.
When talking about this, Zhou Bingkun was obviously troubled. After a long while, he smiled foolishly: "I have never liked studying since I was a child, and I don't have any skills. I am a loser. Why should I think so much? I think it is enough to take good care of my mother at home. As for work, just let it go. We ordinary people are content with what we have and don't pursue so much."
There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his words, but he did not complain. It was obvious that Zhou Bingkun was a person who could regulate his emotions and was a down-to-earth person who was not good at comparing with others.
Li Wanying was a little surprised when she saw this, and then she asked about Zhou Bingkun's work and some matters about his brothers and sisters at home.
Zhou Bingkun was reluctant to say anything, but Li Wanying seemed to want to get to the bottom of it. Zhou Bingkun couldn't refuse, so he finally told her everything clearly.
As we chatted, several hours passed quickly.
We arrived at our destination around five in the afternoon. It was winter and it was already half dark.
This place is called Zhangjiatun. There is no small town nearby, let alone a guesthouse. There are only a few production brigades located next to each other, and a small-scale construction corps a few miles away.
Compared with other places, the terrain is not flat. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and there is no river passing through. Looking down from the sky, this place looks like a squeezed pocket, or like a pus-filled abscess squeezed out of a person's body.
Li Zhenmin glanced down from the foot of the hill and roughly knew what the situation was here. This was most likely the place where they were exiled.
The conditions in the Corps are better, but here we are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no land to be reclaimed. There is no land to be cultivated at all. If you want to survive, apart from cultivating one acre and three mu of land, you probably have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
As for hunting?
The mountains here are not very high and do not stretch for dozens of miles, so where would the prey come from?
The land and water nurture the people. At first glance, this place is obviously an abandoned barren land. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a labor camp without walls.
"Let's go, it's getting dark, let's go into the village and ask about the situation."
Li Zhenmin glanced at the sky, and several people walked down the rugged mountain road and entered the village before dark.
As soon as we entered the village, we were stopped in the middle of the road by a group of people.
Zhou Bingkun panicked immediately. Li Zhenmin stepped forward to explain, "We are from the city. We couldn't get in because of the snow. There should have been a jeep here yesterday. Can anyone show us the way?"
As Li Zhenmin spoke, he got off his donkey and handed a pack of cigarettes to the people who came over to share.
The five or six people opposite were all young people in their teens or twenties.
Several people looked at each other, and then the oldest one stood up, looked Li Zhenmin and the other two up and down, then frowned and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Li Zhenmin took out two pancakes from his bag. The other party reached out to take them, but Li Zhenmin pulled back and said, "I can give them to you, but this is also our dinner. You have to answer my previous question first. Except for gangsters, you should always have some sense of justice, right? It's impossible for me to give you cigarettes and food, and then you treat us like monkeys, right?"
The faces of the people on the other side changed instantly after hearing those words, and the young men behind him clenched the iron bars in their hands at once.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Li Wanying and Zhou Bingkun behind Li Zhenmin also got off the donkey quickly, so that they could react faster in case of emergencies. Now, riding a donkey is not necessarily faster than running.
The man opposite sneered: "Jianghu Daozhi? It's not appropriate for you to talk about this in my territory. Haven't you heard of the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do?"
Li Zhenmin asked calmly, "Oh? Draw a path?"
The man on the other side glanced behind Li Zhenmin and sneered, “Give us the donkey, we can answer you whatever you want to ask.”
Zhou Bingkun immediately reminded Li Zhenmin and shouted, "They are robbers, Professor Li, don't listen to them. They will definitely not tell the truth if they have robbed something."
Li Zhenmin raised his hand to stop Zhou Bingkun, and said to the other side: "It's not easy to get out and mess around, but it's not easy for us either. So, let's give you one donkey, and we have to keep two for ourselves. We still have to hurry on our way. How do you think?"
The man on the other side sneered again, "You don't seem to know who is the big and small king. There are six of us with weapons in our hands. So what if we want to rob you? Now I'm negotiating with you and you're still bargaining. Do I look like I'm easy to be bullied?"
Li Zhenmin waved his hand: "Since there is nothing to discuss, then please move aside. We will find it ourselves. We won't bother you any more."
As he spoke, Li Zhenmin ignored the people opposite him and walked forward.
The young men on the opposite side were also stunned. The leading man became angry instantly after being stunned. Isn't this making him lose face in front of his younger brothers?
He waved his hand and said, "Beat them all!"
Upon hearing this, the others raised their iron rods and were ready to take action.
The leading man also covered Li Zhenmin and swung the iron rod, but the next moment there was a muffled sound, and his whole body turned into a bent bow.
Li Zhenmin grabbed the opponent's hand and kicked him down. The opponent bent his body and stepped back, but Li Zhenmin grabbed his hand and pulled him back, throwing him to the ground with a bang.
Li Zhenmin stepped on him and twisted his hand holding the iron rod.

Suddenly, a painful cry pierced the dark sky.
Then Li Zhenmin didn't finish yet, he stepped hard on the opponent's knee, and there was another crack, and the leg was broken.
Seeing that the other party was still screaming, Li Zhenmin directly tore a piece of cloth from the other party's collar and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.
These actions were completed in one go, without waiting for others to approach Li Wanying and Zhou Bingkun. Then they swung the iron rod, pointed it at others, and said coldly: "He can't speak, so I blocked his mouth. He likes to move around, so I broke his legs. What about you? Is there anyone who can speak properly?"
Poor mountains and bad waters tend to produce unruly people, so if you can negotiate, then negotiate. If you can't reach an agreement, then you have no choice but to use force. Once you use force, you must use heavy force, otherwise it will not have any deterrent effect and you may even be retaliated against.
After he finished speaking, the others wanted to continue charging and use Li Wanying as a hostage.
But Li Zhenmin directly stabbed the man's leg with a stick: "If you take another step forward, I will dig out his eyes. You can try to see if I dare to do it, or you can try to see whether you run over first or I kill you first."
Li Wanying's head was buzzing when she saw this scene.
How could I encounter such a thing twice in one day? What is wrong with this world? Why are there so many desperadoes?
She hurriedly came behind Li Zhenmin. The closer she was to Li Zhenmin, the safer she was.
By this time Zhou Bingkun had also arrived.
If they are like this, let alone the youngsters on the opposite side.
Although they were hot-blooded and loyal people, they were just children after all. They had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene.
They didn't see clearly the sound of the iron rod piercing his thigh, the sound of the bone breaking in front, and the scene of their elder brother being stepped on by the other party and twitching in pain and trying to sob.
Especially the blood that was steaming on the ground...
