My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 46: You can cheat or rob middle school students of their money!

It was already morning, the sun was rising, the streets were noisy, and people were running in a hurry.

He had broad shoulders and long arms, a monkey-like back and slim waist, and a bright and lively look in his eyes. It was obvious that he had an excellent foundation, but his immature face and the scraggly stubble around his lips betrayed his age; he was still a young man.

The young man's surname was Wu, and he was a top disciple of the Tiexian Sect in Lin County. Everyone knew that he was Grandpa Wu Wei's favorite great-grandson, and the entire sect had high hopes for him.

His original name was Wu Di, but old man Wu Wei thought that the name was too flashy and would make his fellow martial artists laugh if it were made public, so he called him by his nickname, A-Sheng, and would decide on his name when he succeeded in the martial arts examination in the future.

Ah Sheng is fourteen years old this year, an age when he is full of curiosity about everything. With a young mind, he always has endless ideas and questions. Even the complicated and arduous practice of martial arts day after day cannot consume all his energy. Young people have privileges, and of course he has his own little secrets.

For example, when he was fourteen years old, Asheng discovered a second new world.

Running against the wind and sunshine, the boy's heart was pounding. The hard touch of his flesh against his chest made his heart surge and his imagination run wild. His heart was full of excitement and anticipation.

Just this morning, after morning class, he bought the third volume of "Legend of Huangji Zhantian".

I had been planning to read the second volume again before buying the third volume, but today I heard from my senior brother in private that the government was confiscating the booksellers of this book last night, so I’m afraid it will be banned!

He was afraid that he would not be able to see the third volume, so he rushed out to buy it.

Well, well, the books are not expensive. And today is a nice day, perfect for reading!
The young man walked through the streets and alleys all the way to the south of the city, until he came to a shaded tree where a small river was flowing and birds were chirping. He skillfully climbed up a branch, lay on a thick fork, and hurriedly took out the third volume in his arms.

The silence was deep, with birds singing and water flowing, but other than that, the only sound was the turning of pages.

The boy was concentrating, immersed in the world of the book.

Every day there is wonderful, with endless scenery to see, endless villains to fight, chivalry to help the weak, and the joy of taking revenge. It is unlike the reality, where the boring and unchanging days follow one after another.

There are so many wonderful stories in the book.

There is a thrilling battle here.

There are also sweaty battles...

When Ah Sheng saw this part, his face turned slightly red. He looked around guiltily, then folded a corner of the page, turned a few pages, and skipped this part.

Some content is more suitable to be watched at night, after all, it can kill two birds with one stone.

He calmed his restless mind and continued reading, when suddenly he heard someone calling him.

"Brother Wu Shi."

The silent environment and the sudden greeting were like thunder exploding in the boy's world. Ah Sheng was so frightened that he almost fell off the fork to the ground.

He steadied his body and felt the branches shaking. Looking closely, he saw a figure standing on a twig at the end of the branch. The figure swayed with the swaying branches and was walking towards him steadily step by step.

Ah Sheng looked at it with envy and fear, his hands and feet went limp and he slid down the tree trunk.

But the young man had extraordinary bones, and he rolled on the ground nimbly to relieve the downward force. When he turned over, he found that the man who had just come was standing in front of him, smiling inscrutablely: "Brother Shi, how are you?"

Ah!
Ah Sheng then saw clearly... This is the champion Li Bailong! I just saw him yesterday!
Yesterday, he refused to kowtow to this scholar who was only a few years older than him, and was scolded by his great-grandfather. Today, this man came to his house when no one was around... What did he want to do? Was he going to beat me?
The young man was nervous for a moment, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Don't be afraid, brother Shi. I'm not a bad person."

The man in front of him said to him kindly, "Just wanted to ask...what are you doing here?"

Oops!

Ah Sheng finally reacted and quickly hid the book behind him, saying guiltily, "Nothing... nothing!"

——Fool! You should hide your idle books in your sleeves! If you hide them behind your back, the teacher will definitely find out!
Li Bailong took a step closer and sneered, "I see you don't understand anything at all."

Ah Sheng was even more flustered when he heard this: "I...I don't understand!"

Jie Yuanlang snorted disdainfully, then changed his expression and glared, "Let me see!"

Ah Sheng screamed and turned to run, but considering his age and martial arts skills, he was no match for the provincial champion. Li Bailong stretched out his hand and pulled his shoulder, and the boy turned back like a spiral, and his hands that were hiding the book stretched out involuntarily, as if he was taking the initiative to hand the book in his hands to Li Bailong.

Li Bailong took his hand away lightly and let Ah Sheng sit on the ground.

——How cool! Bullying junior high school students is so cool!

He flipped through the book, and without even looking at it, he knew it was a pirated copy... After all, Aozi had opened the box directly from the reader's backend! How could he have made a mistake! ?

Ah Sheng fell to the ground with a thud, shocked and angry. He saw a figure flashing on the other side. A county soldier wearing the official uniform of the county lieutenant's office came out and stared at him expressionlessly.

Only then did he realize he was afraid.

Not caring about his confiscated books, the boy raised his hands, jumped up, turned around and ran away.

But a word came to him and made him stop.

"Brother Shi." The scholar behind him said sincerely, "You don't want Mr. Wu to know that you are reading this kind of book, do you?"

The boy was caught in a fatal position. He turned back with difficulty and strength, tears rolling in his eyes, and tremblingly said: "You...what do you want? I...I won't kowtow to you!" The scum who led people to surround the junior high school student shrugged and shook the book in his hand: "Who cares about you? Let me ask you, do you know that this is a pirated copy?"

Ah Sheng blinked: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that your favorite teacher, Batian, has only signed a contract with Chen's Bookstore. All books are printed by Chen's Bookstore, and the one you bought was privately printed by another bookstore. To put it bluntly, it is stolen books, and you are an accomplice in purchasing stolen goods."

After hearing this accusation, Ah Sheng's pig brain was a little overloaded, but a boy of this age was stubborn and self-respecting, and asking him to admit his mistake was more difficult than killing him.

So he said stubbornly: "How should I know? I bought it because it was available on the market. You can't blame me! I didn't know it was stolen!"

damn it.

You are so young and reading pirated movies, but you still don’t repent. Be careful that you may become an online writer when you grow up!

Li Bailong did not argue with him, but just threw the pirated book to Lao He who was watching on the side.

"This is He Xianbing from the County Lieutenant's Office." He introduced him to Ah Sheng, "You bought a pirated copy, you should regret it and make amends. Since you have read three volumes, I will ask you to go to Chen's Bookstore to buy three volumes of genuine copies, and ask Chen's Bookstore to issue you an invoice and put your handprint on it."

"After buying it, you must bring the purchase certificate and the genuine book to the county government to find He Xianbing. In this way, the government will not care about your crime of aiding and abetting evil and buying stolen goods, and will not notify your parents. Do you understand?"

"..."

Ah Sheng was furious when he heard this - do you think I'm stupid? Why should I spend money again?

But the boy was cunning. He saw that the situation was stronger than the man, so he readily agreed: "Okay, okay."

He disappeared without a trace afterwards, what else can you do?

"Don't be so hasty to fool me." Li Bailong saw through his thoughts and said sinisterly, "Today is the deadline. If you don't bring the purchase certificate before tonight, I will go find Mr. Wu and tell him that you are looking at this."

For children, calling their parents is always the biggest killer.

Ah Sheng was afraid, but he still said stubbornly: "So...so what! I will also tell Grandpa that you bullied me! Besides, what's wrong with reading this book? I like to read it, what law has it violated?"

Li Bailong smiled.

"I will tell Mr. Wu that you secretly went to a deserted place to read this book, and while reading, you also..."

When he said this, he raised his eyebrows, and held his other hand in the air, stroking it up and down continuously.

He Xianbing was the first to burst out laughing.

Ah Sheng understood immediately.

After all, this was the first new world he had discovered.

The boy blushed.

This threat hit the mark.

A teenager of this age values ​​dignity as much as his life, and regards that kind of thing as a shame. If his family knew that he was reading a book, he would be severely punished. If his family thought that he was doing handicrafts while reading...

When Ah Sheng thought of this, he felt humiliated and angry, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I didn't do it! If you say it is true, it is true!"

"Yes, I said it was." Li Bailong said proudly, "I am the top martial arts champion in Jiangbei Province. I will surely be an important official in the court and a martial arts master in the future. How could I wrongly accuse you with empty words? If they say you directed it, then you directed it. Let's see whether Mr. Wu believes me or you, little bastard."

Having said that, it was worth the money to have Li Bailong, the "future important official in the court and a great martial arts master", personally teach Ah Sheng the truth that the world is treacherous and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil!
Ah Sheng had no idea how much tuition he had saved. He was so angry that he turned around and left, shaking all over.

Li Bailong shouted from behind: "Before tonight, otherwise I will go to your house to return the book tonight!"

After the young man disappeared, Li Bailong turned around and looked at He Xianbing who had been watching the show.

"Have you given up on learning?"

He instructed, "Teach the boys this trick, and then go to the streets to fish for law enforcement. If anyone buys pirated books from peddlers, don't touch the merchants first, just arrest the readers. After catching them, force them to buy a genuine copy from Chen's Bookstore. Otherwise, they will be detained in jail for two days for buying stolen goods. Do you understand?"

When He Xianbing heard this, he felt a little numb.

"What are you looking at? The genuine copies bought by these pirated readers are considered extra sales, and a portion of them will be used to distribute dividends to the County Lieutenant's Office." Li Bailong whispered, "The more you catch, the more you will get..."

He Xianbing's subjective initiative increased and he went there excitedly.

"have to say……"

Long Aotian, who had been silent all this time, appeared quietly.

He sighed, "You are much more of a beast than I was back then."
