1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 47: I ended the gangster?

What does this person do? Why is he so familiar?

Xu Yuexin turned around and saw an old man in a Zhongshan suit with white hair looking at him with a smile.

For a moment, Xu Yuexin couldn't tell the meaning of this smile.

Seeing Xu Yuexin's alert expression, the old man stood up and said to himself: "Let me remind you, don't take it too seriously."

"Young man, it's a good thing to like adventure."

"You're pretty knowledgeable..."

Xu Yuexin watched the old man walk away for a distance and muttered to himself.

Although he didn't understand the old man's motive for talking to him, what he said was indeed true.

Not to mention now, even if we push it back ten years, the price of the film and television adaptation rights of novels will still be very low.

When Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was sold to CCTV for adaptation into a TV series, the copyright fee was only 680 yuan.

In other words, if I want to realize the copyright value of the novel in my hands through conventional means, I will have to wait at least 20 to 30 years.

This definitely does not conform to Xu Yuexin's life principle of getting rich as early as possible.

The copyright of a novel is not an antique. It is useless to keep it in your hands for decades.

It would be great if there was a way to cash in quickly and sell at a high price.

Xu Yuexin thought intently.

"The food is here."

At this moment, Chen Qiaoqiao's reminder brought Xu Yuexin back to the real world.

The waiter brought the steamed grouper and French wine to the table, said he wished the two of them a pleasant meal, and left.

On the plate, the grouper was split into two halves in the middle and topped with seasoned shredded ginger, which tasted fresh and light in color.

Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao took a bite and both found it delicious.

"Here, I'll give you the fish belly meat."

Chen Qiaoqiao poured half a dish of vinegar, put several pieces of fish into it, and handed it to Xu Yuexin, saying, "You use your brain every day writing. Eating more fish can replenish your brain power."

The belly meat of the grouper was indeed tender and delicious. Xu Yuexin ate everything on the plate and still felt the aftertaste lingering in his throat.

At this time, garlic-fried swimming crabs and steamed small yellow croaker were served together, creating a sumptuous meal on the table.

Xu Yuexin picked up the corkscrew, uncorked the wine bottle, poured the wine into the decanter and waited for a while before pouring wine for himself and Chen Qiaoqiao.

"I wish you a successful college entrance exam, and I wish you a happy wedding."

Xu Yuexin raised his glass high and toasted Chen Qiaoqiao who was sitting opposite him.

"Well, I hope you can achieve satisfactory results."

Chen Qiaoqiao raised her goblet shyly and said, "I hope our marriage will go smoothly."

"Dang..."

After the pleasant sound of wine glasses clinking, they each took a small sip from the rim of the glass.

"You just opened the bottle, why didn't you pour it out directly? Why wait a while?"

After experiencing the intoxicating aroma of the wine, Chen Qiaoqiao asked Xu Yuexin.

"This is called decanting, and its purpose is to allow the wine to fully contact with oxygen and bring out the wine's multi-layered aroma and taste."

"Some wines cannot be poured directly into a decanter, and the decanting process is more complicated. Of course, the wine we drink today can be poured directly."

Xu Yuexin introduced slowly and calmly.

After hearing his explanation, Chen Qiaoqiao felt that she had gained more knowledge.

"You still know more."

Chen Qiaoqiao said, taking another sip of wine.

The garlic-fried swimming crabs are rich and delicious, the steamed small yellow croaker is tender and delicious, and even the stir-fried broccoli has a unique flavor.

During the meal, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao agreed to invite the parents of both parties to meet at Donglaishun the day after tomorrow to set the specific wedding date.

After finishing four dishes and drinking wine, Xu Yuexin took Chen Qiaoqiao to the front desk to pay the bill.

The total amount was 85 yuan. Xu Yuexin casually took out his wallet, pulled out nine Great Unity banknotes and put them on the counter.

After getting the change, Xu Yuexin got on his bike and took Chen Qiaoqiao home.

When passing through East Chang'an Avenue, the bright street lights on both sides made people feel safe. As the two gradually left the prosperous area, the situation changed. When approaching the unfinished Third Ring Road, the number of street lights on the roadside became significantly sparse, and the lights were dim, and the road ahead became dark.

Looking at the deserted streets, Xu Yuexin became more alert, watching every movement around him.

At this moment, two swaying figures stepped into his sight from the front.

Xu Yuexin subconsciously looked at the ground, searching for a weapon that could protect him in case of emergency.

Yes, there is a pile of broken bricks on the side of the road, suitable for hitting people with.

Xu Yuexin stopped beside the pile of bricks, staring at the figure walking towards him.

Chen Qiaoqiao also noticed them at this time, and hugged Xu Yuexin tightly in fear: "I'm a little scared..."

"fine."

Xu Yuexin touched her little hand and said.

At this time, he finally saw the two people in front of him in the dim light.

One of them was tall, with a long, horse-like face, a pair of white eyes, and a hammer in his hand, looking ferocious.

Next to him was a short dwarf with no weapon in his hands. He seemed to be the horse-faced man's subordinate.

"You idiot, leave your watch and bicycle here!"

The short man shouted at Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao, took out a dagger from his pocket and ran towards the two people.

The horse-faced man laughed arrogantly, and his pace was faster than the short man: "The girl is pretty, let's keep her too!"

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two people and Xu Yuexin was shortened to less than twenty meters.

Xu Yuexin got off his bicycle without saying a word, rushed to the pile of bricks, picked up two bricks, and threw them left and right, hitting the horse-faced man and the short man on the head.

"Mom!"

"Ouch!"

The horse-faced man and the short man screamed and fell to the ground. Dark red blood flowed from their heads, soon staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

"Let's go and report the case."

After Xu Yuexin finished his move, he spoke to Chen Qiaoqiao calmly and decisively.

Chen Qiaoqiao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She nodded in fear and couldn't even speak.

On the way to the police station, she slowly came to her senses and felt relieved.

Thanks to Xu Yuexin's good skills, he managed to take care of the criminals.

Chen Qiaoqiao thought with lingering fear.

The police station is five kilometers away from the crime scene. After receiving Xu Yuexin's report, the police immediately called their colleagues and rushed to the scene on a sidecar motorcycle. Xu Yuexin showed them the way on the motorcycle.

The horse-faced man and the short man did not change their positions, still lying on the ground twitching, but more blood was flowing out.

The police saw the weapons in the hands of the two men and, combined with Xu Yuexin's statement, were able to basically determine the facts of the case.

"Young man, you are quite skilled."

An older police officer said to Xu Yuexin, and then ordered the young police officers who came with him, "Take these two criminals back to the station!"

The young policemen rushed forward, carried the two seriously injured criminals, covered the wounds on their heads with white cloth, and put them on the shoulder poles. No one considered whether Xu Yuexin was committing excessive self-defense.

These days, seriously injuring a criminal is no big deal, and sometimes you can even get a reward.

Not to mention armed robbery, even if someone was beaten to death for stealing something, no one would ask. Everyone’s philosophy is that any criminal can be killed.

As for sending the criminals to the hospital, there is absolutely no such thing. From the government to the public, everyone holds a simple sense of justice and believes that they do not deserve treatment.

As for the white cloth on the criminal’s head...it was to prevent the blood from staining the motorcycle.

……

Back at the police station, the police found photos and corresponding information from the criminal record database based on the appearance of the two criminals.

"The short guy is called Ma Cheng. He is a released prisoner. He was sentenced to three years in prison for theft. He just got out of prison and is unemployed."

"The tall guy is called Bai Baoshan, a loader by profession, and has been detained many times for fighting."

Under the glaring incandescent light, the police officer in charge of the search shouted to his colleagues.

When Xu Yuexin heard the name, he was shocked.
