That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1105 Do you want to be the protagonist?
"Driver, how far is it to the Public Security Bureau? Li Ye, why are you staying there?"

Ji Zhongzhi protected the woman with the backpack and backed away while calling out to Li Ye, but there were too many people on the bus and they were squeezed and shoved, making it difficult to back away.

Li Ye: "."

In his previous life, Li Ye watched a movie called "The Diary of Getting Rich". There was a very funny scene in the movie where Song Xiaobao and Sha Yi met a thief on a train.

Song Xiaobao thought that his elder brother Sha Yi was very awesome, so he took the initiative to meddle in other people's business on the train and provoke thieves. However, his elder brother Sha Yi, who was very powerful, ended up backing down.

The two actors' acting skills are very good, and can make more than 90% of the audience laugh, but if the audience is really put in that clip, he will definitely not laugh.

When four or five thieves are approaching you with knives drawn, the bystanders nearby will be scared to sweat, let alone the person who is causing the trouble?

Today, Ji Zhongzhi played the role of Song Xiaobao. Facing a group of bad guys with sharp knives, he was arrogant and said, "You are in trouble."

The problem is that Ji Zhongzhi also reported Li Ye's name and called out his name. Wasn't he afraid that criminals would retaliate against Li Ye? Why didn't he just say "I won't change my name, I am XXX"?

Li Ye was so angry that he laughed.

Why did Ji Zhongzhi believe Zhao Chu's words so much, and believe that he could defeat ten people alone? Wasn't he afraid that he was just a boastful "master of Chinese martial arts" who would turn around and run away without following the moral code of martial arts, leaving him here with blood spilled five steps away?

He usually brags in the dormitory that as long as he is upright, all the villains will be afraid of him, but now he doesn't care about anything.

But Li Ye is not Sha Yi, he can't just do nothing.

So Li Ye reached out and pushed aside the passengers blocking the middle, and pulled the panicked woman to the back first.

"Comrade, first check if you have anything missing."

Just now, the woman had been holding her bag tightly. It was obvious that there were important items in it. If something was missing from the bag, it would be a lot of trouble, and at least no one in the car would be able to leave.

The woman quickly looked through it, then said tremblingly: "No, nothing is missing. I, I have to get off at the next stop."

Li Ye nodded and was about to ask the driver to stop the car when he heard Ji Zhongzhi shout, "Lady, please don't get out of the car yet. You are a witness. Come with us to hand these criminals over to the police and get rid of harm for the people."

I'm going to kill your sister. Didn't you see that this female comrade is almost crying? Aren't there enough cases of revenge by accomplices these days?

However, the bus driver was obviously afraid of retaliation. He stepped on the accelerator twice, rushed to the stop, and opened the door with a click.

The woman squeezed down quickly, and many passengers also hid down, apparently afraid of being accidentally injured by the dagger in the thief's hand.

"How selfish!"

Ji Zhongzhi was so angry that he jumped up and down. After cursing under his breath, he suddenly pulled Li Ye out of the car.

"Li Ye, let's go down too."

"Why are we still going down there?"

"We have to escort that female comrade home! What if there are accomplices of the thief among those passengers?"

"."

Li Ye looked at the passengers who had just hidden together and got off the bus helplessly.

If the woman didn't have much money in her bag, the thief wouldn't be interested and there wouldn't be much danger.

But when the woman checked her bag to see if anything was missing, Li Ye saw several stacks of large-denomination banknotes, estimated to be about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Every profession has its own expertise. The thief should be relatively advanced in the technique of "evaluating fat sheep", so the chances of him being unwilling to give up are quite high.

After Ji Zhongzhi pulled Li Ye out of the car, he caught up with the woman in just two or three steps.

"Comrade, which unit do you work for? Let us take you back so you don't run into bad guys again."

"Oh, our unit is just in front. Thank you for today!"

The woman held the torn bag tightly in her hand and quickened her pace, as if she was afraid that Li Ye and Ji Zhongzhi were also bad guys.

Ji Zhongzhi was also a smart man. He took out his work ID and showed it to the woman: "Don't be afraid, comrade. We are not bad people. What we are doing today is what we should do."

The woman looked at Ji Zhongzhi's work ID and felt relieved: "Thank you so much, I work at the enamel factory in the street ahead, and our company is paying our wages today."

Ji Zhongzhi was surprised and asked, "Why did you go to the bank alone to withdraw the money after receiving your salary? Shouldn't there be two people?"

The woman said aggrievedly: "Another colleague is sick, and I am the only one left. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Ji Zhongzhi said seriously: "This is where you are wrong. When we face criminals, we must uphold justice. If you had listened to me just now, those criminals would have been arrested by now."

"."

The woman from the street enamel factory was stunned, her face flushed red, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry.

The cashiers of this day are not the same as those of decades later. They have the responsibility to protect collective property. When a slender woman encounters a vicious criminal, she must bravely fight with him and defend the collective property with her life.

But just when Ji Zhongzhi was about to give a long speech, Li Ye said softly: "Old Ji, you can actually arrest those people now."

Ji Zhongzhi said unhappily: "Li Ye, everyone ran after the bus, where can we find them? You did the same just now."

Li Ye interrupted Ji Zhongzhi and pointed behind him, saying, "Look, they are following us."

"."

Ji Zhongzhi was stunned and turned his head to look back. Sure enough, he saw the group of thieves who were in the car just now. They must have been unwilling to give up, so they stopped the car in front and chased after them.

Tens of thousands of yuan was not a small sum in the late 1980s. Several major cases that shocked the whole country involved amounts of only tens of thousands of yuan. There were countless cases of murder and robbery for a few thousand yuan, so these people obviously wanted to make a big move.

Ji Zhongzhi's legs trembled and he swallowed his saliva.

At this moment, the three of them had left the main road and entered a small street. Although they were not far from the enamel factory, the danger was already looming!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, a total of seven people.

"Li Ye, you can beat ten people, right? I'll take this female comrade away first, you..."

[Do you want me to cover you? I will. ]

"Run!"

Li Ye grabbed the arm of the woman from the enamel factory and ran forward.

Ji Zhongzhi was a little slow and also ran away with his briefcase.

The gang of thieves, who were originally following behind the few people like a pack of wolves, also subconsciously started to chase after them.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief."

Ji Zhongzhi kept shouting while running, but after shouting twice, he felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like the people on the road seemed to think the three of them were thieves?
The woman from the enamel factory lost her shoes, but she still couldn't run fast enough. Ji Zhongzhi was young but his body was weak. He only ran 200 meters before he was panting like a husky.

Li Ye looked back and felt that the time had come.

Because the physical conditions of the seven thieves were different, some ran fast, some ran slowly. The two fastest ones had already caught up with him, but the slowest one was still lagging behind him for dozens of meters.

Li Ye pushed the woman from the enamel factory hard and said, "Run quickly and call for help from the factory."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then ran away barefoot, holding her bag.

Then Li Ye turned around and kicked forward. The move was simple but powerful, hitting the fastest thief right in the abdomen.

The other party immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Before the second one could react, he was hit hard on the eye socket. The head was spinning and stars were appearing in his eyes. He fell to his knees with a thud.

The electric cannon is never meant to beat the chest, but to seal the eyes. If you are lucky, it can cause a concussion.

The two behind were obviously stunned by Li Ye's unexpected move, and they subconsciously slowed down their pace. One of them was in a daze and even took out a small knife.

Li Ye rushed forward and kicked the knife-wielding boy's knee with a low whip kick, making a "crack" sound.

"Ow~"

The knife-wielding boy howled so loudly that it frightened the thief behind him and the passers-by around him.

Ji Zhongzhi was stunned.

How come in just the blink of an eye, three of them are already lying down?
Then, Ji Zhongzhi became alert.

He turned around, pinched his waist and shouted: "Li Ye, there are still four thieves, don't let any of them get away!"

"."

The thieves behind were confused! Suddenly they heard Ji Zhongzhi's shout and turned around and ran without hesitation, not caring about brotherhood or loyalty.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief quickly, Li Ye, chase him quickly."

Li Ye did not chase after them. Instead, he tore off one of the thieves' shoes, pulled out the shoelaces and tied their thumbs together.

One of them even wanted to threaten Li Ye, but was slapped in the face by Li Ye and shut up.

Of the other four thieves who escaped, three ran away, and the other one was tripped by an old man passing by. Then Li Ye and others worked together to capture him.

These days, some people are still very aware of the situation, unlike decades later, when no one would help when someone shouted "Catch the thief" and everyone would just take out their phones to take videos and post them on WeChat Moments.

Ji Zhongzhi followed suit and hurriedly pulled out his belt. Together with Li Ye, he tied up the struggling thieves tightly, and then complained to Li Ye unhappily.

"Li Ye, why were you so distracted just now? I asked you to chase the other three thieves, but you acted as if you didn't hear me. Cut the grass at its roots. Letting them run away is irresponsible to the people."

Li Ye looked at Ji Zhongzhi and said, "We haven't dealt with the few here yet! How can I chase those three?"

Ji Zhongzhi frowned and said without hesitation: "But don't I still have me? Am I staying here just to eat dry food?
Besides, we shouldn’t have run at the beginning, letting them pull away so far. If we had taken action at that time, we would have killed them all at once, and there would have been no need to chase them.”

[One pot stew? Am I stewing others, or are they stewing me? ]

Li Ye was too lazy to explain to Ji Zhongzhi.

The tactic of dispersing the superior enemy forces through retreat and then defeating them one by one is written in the books of great men. Don't you know how to use your brain?
There are seven of them, and I am just one person with two burdens. How can I fight?
It is true that I can fight ten people alone, but it depends on the situation. I don’t even have a stick in my hand, so I can’t use my stabbing skills!
If both sides are unarmed and are surrounded, it is not fatal. It is rare for someone to be killed by fists alone. I can withstand two kicks in the back.

But he was holding a knife! Even if he stabbed me in the butt, my wife would cry out of pain, right?

Li Ye remained silent, but Ji Zhongzhi had a loud voice, and soon attracted people over with his chattering.

Four thieves were caught on the spot. This was a very big incident. Soon the street aunties were alarmed, and then the joint defense team also came.

Ji Zhongzhi had already combed his hair back into a messy mess due to his escape. He spoke with full of aura and showed his excellent image of being full of justice to the fullest.

In contrast, Li Ye left early and quietly without even showing his work ID.

Because Li Ye knew that if he stayed where he was, he would face a series of questions, and he might even have to go to the police station to record his statement. It would be too much trouble.

If Li Ye was still a student and was actively seeking to join the group, then this trouble would be worth it. But now Li Ye makes hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, and the time he spends is not proportional to the so-called benefits. He might as well go back and hug his daughter and watch some cartoons with that time!
As for the credit for his bravery, Li Ye didn't think that his share would be diminished. At most, he would just give a little credit to Ji Zhongzhi. It wasn't a big deal.

. . . . . . .

Things turned out just as Li Ye expected, except for a slight deviation.

On Monday, Li Ye was quietly attending class at school when school staff brought people from the enamel factory into the classroom.

As soon as Li Ye saw the woman and the banner in her hand, he knew what was going on.

"Everyone, be quiet, let's talk about something."

School staff recounted Li Ye and Ji Zhongzhi's "heroic acts" on Saturday and read a long letter of thanks.

But after thanking Xin Xin, Li Ye found that Ji Zhongzhi's face was not very good.

Li Ye was a little puzzled. The banner has been sent to you, what else do you want? Do you want a bonus?
At lunch time, Zhao Chu found Li Ye and whispered, "Li Ye, what you did was not very fair. You two caught the thief together, and the credit cannot be attributed to you alone."

Li Ye was surprised and said, "When did I eat alone? I left early after I caught the thief that day. It was Old Ji who stayed there to deal with it himself."

Zhao Chu smacked his lips and asked in confusion, "Then why is your name mentioned seven times in the thank-you letter, while Old Ji's is only mentioned once?"

"."

Only then did Li Ye come to his senses.

He didn't pay much attention when someone read the thank-you letter just now, but now when he thinks back, it was always "Comrade Li Ye" and "Comrade Li Ye", and "Ji Zhongzhi" was only read once.

And as long as he hears this letter, Li Ye will definitely be the protagonist who kills everyone, and Ji Zhongzhi will be just a small supporting role.

But what does this have to do with yourself?
Besides, you, Ji Zhongzhi, are just a supporting role. Do you want to be the protagonist in this matter?

"This is not my fault, it's Ji Zhongzhi's fault."

Li Ye suppressed his laughter and said, "At that time on the bus, and in the process of catching the thief, Old Ji always shouted, 'Li Ye, hit him quickly!' 'Li Ye, chase him quickly!' Accountant Wang remembered my name right away.

So when people write thank-you letters, don’t they always include my name? "

"Oh! I thought so! So this is where the problem lies!"

Zhao Chu slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "Old Ji is just imitating Lei Feng and not leaving his name. We shouldn't let him suffer any injustice. You write a statement of the situation."

Fuck you!

If he were Lei Feng, I would be a Bodhisattva.
