The strong fisherman in the courtyard

These two sentences made Xu Qiang so exhausted that he even burped and made smoke come out of his mouth.

Comrade Li Ming rubbed his stomach comfortably, indicating that he was indeed full tonight and it was time for him to express his gratitude.

"Don't worry, brothers. Generally, there will be no problem. As long as we don't make a big fuss, we can handle any problem!"

Everyone was relieved. The four of them were often dealing with physiological problems, so their bodies were not in good condition. As for Section Chief Xu Qiang, he didn't have this hobby, but everyone was still skeptical about the ability of a man in his forties who often slacked off.

At this time, I feel at ease when I see the person in charge of the strength of my own stock speaking!

Chapter 20 Unit of measurement: 5 columns?

Xu Qiang raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. "It's about time. Let's go over and wait."

Everyone nodded. Finishing the job earlier would allow them to go home earlier. As for the four old hands, they were ready to go, looking forward to avenging their previous defeat tonight.

Eight alleys.

Under Zhou Tian's guidance, the group managed to sneak over under the cover of darkness.

"It's right in front!" Zhou Tian hunched over and pointed to the door in front of him with two dimmed lanterns hanging on it.

"Okay, then let's each find a place to hide. Tian'er, you follow Mingzi."

"Wu Gang, follow me. We don't know those two people. You two can point them out to us."

Section Chief Xu made all the arrangements and everyone was divided into three groups. They each found a place and waited for the two people who were going to make Si Xianyu suffer to show up.

"Brother Tian, ​​are they coming over today?" Li Ming waited for a while, but he became more and more bored, mainly because there were mosquitoes.

If these two people didn't come today, it would be a waste of time to feed the mosquitoes.

Zhou Tian also scratched his arm and said uncertainly, "He should come back, otherwise why did we keep bumping into each other the past two days?"

The two waited for a while, and Zhou Tian finally noticed two figures appearing at the entrance of the alley. He quickly whispered to Li Ming, "Mingzi, those are the two!"

Li Ming looked in the direction Zhou Tian pointed and saw two people. They were indeed quite strong.

"Okay, then we'll do as we agreed during dinner. When the four of them beat up one, we'll beat up one."

"No need to ask who it is, just go up and beat them up and leave!"

"I'll go first when they get closer. Brother Tian, ​​please keep an eye on them for me."

Zhou Tian nodded excitedly. No matter how old a man is, it is easy to get excited when encountering such a fight.

Li Ming was also silently suppressing his inner restlessness. After all, he had never used the skills inherited from Li Yuanba properly. Although he was not in his peak condition now, he could indeed feel the excitement coming from his bones.

Watching the two people getting closer, Xu Qiang and his men from the two groups next to them had already appeared. The two burly men opposite paused for a moment, but continued to move forward.

"Go!" Section Chief Xu roared and rushed towards a person on the right with three lazy guys.

After hearing the sound, Li Ming also rushed out from the gate where he was hiding. Although he came out later than Xu Qiang and the other three, he rushed to the left first.

The four people who rushed out from the side only felt a gust of wind brushing across their cheeks, and then they saw Li Ming raising his leg and kicking the man on the left directly away.

Comrade Li Ming took advantage of the momentum and kicked the opponent in the abdomen, knocking him up, and then followed closely.

Before the other party could react, two iron fists had already hit that person's eye sockets.

With a "bang", the unfortunate child fainted on the ground without even being able to see anything clearly.

Comrade Li Ming was quite worried and even put his finger under his nose to check his breathing. He was relieved only after making sure that he had just fainted.

"Second!"

The sturdy man who was targeted by four people saw his younger brother being killed in two hits. He felt a chill in his heart and roared.

"Hurry up!" Xu Qiang couldn't help getting anxious when he saw Li Ming taking down one man quickly and efficiently, while the five of his men were still circling around him.

If this drags on for too long, and the guy just now shouts and calls the patrolmen, it will be really awkward for them.

Don’t ask why there were five people. Zhou Tian followed Li Ming and ran halfway when he saw that Li Ming had already finished the battle, so he turned around and ran straight to Xu Qiang.

Li Ming raised his waist and turned his head to look at Xu Qiang, and saw five people fighting with one person. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was who, and his face was full of black lines.

"Step aside!"

After hearing the sound, the five people who were surrounding him stepped back tacitly, and Li Ming saw the big man in the middle who was over 1.8 meters tall.

Continue to run, then lift your foot and hit the target, all in one go.

He kicked the man directly to the wall, then punched him twice with his fists clenched. He bent down and felt his breath, and after making sure that he had fainted, he turned around and looked at the five people.

"They are all fainted, let's go quickly, hehe." Li Ming looked at his battle results and was sure that the military force in their courtyard was absolutely invincible.

If there is a real conflict with He Yuzhu, he can use both of his hands. Li Ming estimated his own fighting ability in his heart. Even if his body has not reached its prime yet, he can at least have the fighting power of 5 pillars!

Xu Qiang and the other four looked at Comrade Li Ming's smooth operation with numb faces and couldn't help but be stunned. It was fortunate that everyone knew Li Ming's background, otherwise they would have thought he was some kind of professional.

When the five people heard what Li Ming said, they stood up and hurried to the entrance of the alley. Wang Jun kicked two of them when he passed by them, but seeing that the two people's fainted bodies did not move at all, Wang Jun couldn't help but start to doubt whether he was too weak.

The six people returned to Donglaishun from different routes and met each other. Li Ming was relieved when he saw that the other five were all safe and sound.

Xu Qiang looked at the handsome young man in front of him and really couldn't connect him with the violent person who had just kicked people so smoothly.

"Everyone go back to your own homes, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Xu Qiang said something to the five people, and then they went home separately.

Comrade Li Ming was riding his bicycle quite happily. After all, he had carefully checked the foundation of survival given by the system brother tonight. In the future, if something really needs to be done in the courtyard, he would not have to worry.

As for your talking? Sorry, if we really have to talk, I, as a big troll in the future, can troll them to death, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

Humming a little tune, I rode all the way to the courtyard.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Ming pushed the door open and shouted to his mother.

When Li's mother saw Li Ming return home, she was also relieved.

"You're back, I'm glad. Your dad just came back too."

"Then I'll go see what he bought." Li Ming looked curious.

"What else could it be? It's just cornmeal." Mother Li looked at her curious son with amusement.

"Um, forget it. I won't watch it anymore. I'm going back to my room and getting ready for bed!" Li Ming said to his mother and turned back to his room.

Chapter 21 Fishing 1

The next day.

Li Ming woke up from the sunlight, looked at the clock and saw it was just past eight o'clock, so he slowly began to pack himself up, ate the breakfast that his mother had heated up for him, and then rode his bike to the steel mill.

We passed the Jinshui River along the way and felt that there were a lot more people coming to the river to fish recently. Most of them had pale faces and sat by the river with homemade fishing rods and buckets.

Li Ming guessed that some families did not have enough food to eat, so those who were unemployed came out to fish. It seemed that many people in the city had realized that food was not enough. But that was true. Most people in the city had relatives living in the countryside, so it was very easy to find out about this kind of thing.

Office of Section 3 of the Purchasing Department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Ming arrived at the office and pushed the door open, only to find that the people from the stock department had arrived surprisingly early today. As soon as he entered the door, he saw five large chimneys emitting smoke.

"Why did you come so early today?" Li Ming asked as he looked at the four idlers sitting in a row smoking.

"Haha, Mingzi, you are late for once today!" Zhou Tian saw Li Ming coming in, stood up from his chair with a smile, walked to Li Ming and patted him on the shoulder.

The other people including the section chief also looked over with smiles on their faces. It seemed that the one-on-two fight he had inflicted on him last night had made them friendlier to him. After all, life was all about human relationships, and fighting and killing were just emotional catalysts.

"Okay, Mingzi is here, so let's pack up and go to Jinshui River!" Xu Qiang walked out from behind the desk and said to everyone.

Li Ming was slightly puzzled. "Jinshui River? Why are we going there? Are the three of us going fishing together?"

Wu Gang was packing up his fishing rod and bucket in the corner, and replied, "That's right, we came early today, and the section chief was called away as soon as he arrived."

"They said they haven't had enough food lately, and they hope our three members can go out more often and see if we can bring in more food."

"Even the first and second groups have been sent out."

"Mingzi, this is the fishing rod and bucket prepared for you, take it!" Xu Qiang handed over the fishing tools.

Li Ming took the fishing rod and bucket and asked, "What? Where's the bait?"

The five people paused in packing up, and they just thought about finding an excuse to go out. They didn't think much about whether they could catch any fish. The main thing was to complete the mission required by the factory.

Li Ming saw the five old men packing up and knew that these five old men had no intention of fishing seriously, but were just planning to go fishing while on vacation!

"It's okay, just go dig earthworms anywhere!" Zheng Ping casually said what bait he wanted.

"It's probably impossible to dig it up. I came here from the Jinshui River today. Many people were fishing by the river. Even the soil looked like it had been turned over several times."

"It's no big deal. We just have to complete the mission. It doesn't matter if we can't catch any fish." Section Chief Xu said happily with a big grin.

"Okay, then let's go." Comrade Li Ming didn't care. As long as it could kill time, it would be fine. If not, he would just see if Old Zhang was there and take some of his bait.

It’s just that my fishing system is not a serious fishing system, otherwise it would be great to have rewards for fishing.

Comrade Li Ming complained about his own system in his heart while riding his bike to the Jinshui River with Xu Qiang and others.

Li Ming often came to Jinshui River to fish, so he took a few people to the place he often went to.

"Mingzi, this place where you often go fishing is nice!" Wang Jun said while looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Of course. There are trees around, so it's a cool place in the summer."

"But have you ever caught a fish? Hope it's not a tiny fish." Xu Qiang grinned and held a cigarette in his mouth. He seemed quite happy at this moment. After all, he was always bored in the steel mill and this was the first time he went fishing with so many people.

Li Ming curled his lips in disdain, "Did you see that old man next to him? He only caught a few small dried fish!"

"The fish I caught must weigh at least half a pound!"

Several people expressed their disbelief. After all, there were so many people fishing by the river, but they had never seen many fishermen catching big fish.

"Okay, let's split up. Whoever catches the least fish today gets to treat us!"

"I'm going to ask the old man for some bait."

Li Ming did not allow anyone to question his fishing skills. He immediately threw out the bet to lure the unlucky guys into taking the bait.

"Okay, kid, just wait for the dinner. I'm a famous fishing expert in our courtyard!" Zhou Tian started bragging without blinking.

Several people also began to look for a good position excitedly, waiting for Comrade Li Ming to bring the bait and start fishing.

Li Ming walked up to Old Man Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, give me some bait!"

Old man Zhang looked up at Li Ming and said, "What? You didn't prepare any bait for fishing today? Are you planning to get something for free from me?"

After spending a long time with Li Ming, Old Man Zhang learned a lot of new words from Li Ming.

"No, today my colleagues from the steel mill came to fish together. It was a temporary task for the entire purchasing department to go out and see if we can collect anything."

"Where else can I buy things now? I might as well go fishing."

Old man Zhang smiled and said, "What's going on? Is your steel mill also in a hurry to buy food?"

Li Ming nodded, and Xiao Xiong spread his hands and said, "Of course not. Now it's not just the steel mill. Many people have nothing to do and go out for a walk, thinking of buying more things to store."

"The last time I went to Shibalidian, the production team leader there said that there wasn't much food in the countryside. Where the hell can we go to buy it?"

"Okay, then I'll reluctantly give you some bait, but you have to give me a fish today!"

Li Ming glanced at the old man's bucket. Last time there were fish eggs and fish offspring in it, but this time the bucket was crystal clear and Li Ming could see the bottom.

"No problem, for the bait's sake!"

Old Zhang then called to the guard standing next to him to get the bait from the car, and the two continued to chat and wait.

"Old Xu, you see Mingzi is quite familiar with that old man!" Wu Gang said to Xu Qiang beside him.

Xu Qiang glanced at the two people standing next to the old man and said, "I guess this old man is of high status, otherwise there wouldn't be guards standing by him when he goes out."

"It seems that Comrade Li Ming in our department has a wide network of contacts!" Zheng Ping was quite envious.

"Well, it has nothing to do with us. As long as Mingzi is sincere to us, that's enough." Wang Jun was happy and open-minded.

"Junzi, what you said is true, but let's just watch the fishing. Haha, you rookies, just wait for the treat. I have to suck back the blood that Donglai spilled last time!"

Zhou Tian continued to brag, and everyone's face twitched. Who doesn't know who? This guy surnamed Zhou was probably fishing for the first time, and he was so embarrassed to brag!

Chapter 22 Bicycle Ticket

After a while, Li Ming came back with a small bag of bait and distributed it to everyone. Then he started to prepare for fishing.

By the river in summer, the breeze blows gently, ripples appear on the surface of the river, and the willow trees sway their branches gently, appearing particularly gentle under the reflection of the setting sun.
