South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"I remember it very clearly. It was September 1974, the time of autumn harvest. Old Yuan had just arrived at the prison not long ago, and many prisoners were picking corn there."

"Suddenly, a prisoner ran away. No one noticed him at first because the cornfield was so high that people could not be seen once they hid in. Later, a prison guard standing on a high place found him."

"Then the guards started chasing him, but the prisoner ran so fast that he had already run about 200 meters when they found him. The guards with rifles raised their guns and shot, but no one could hit him."

"Think about it. It's more than 200 meters away. If you look around, that person is almost just a black dot in your eyes. You can't see him clearly. But at this time, your uncle Yuan directly took the rifle from the prison guard."

"Just standing like this, holding the gun like this, I remember it very clearly." Lao Ma said as he stood up and gestured.

Yuan Mu looked at this scene and shook his head with a smile. He didn't expect that Lao Ma had such a side. He always thought that Lao Ma was serious, but it seems that he also has a lovely side, just like now.

"He took aim for maybe two or three seconds, and then the bullet went off, and you watched the prisoner fall to the ground. It was so accurate, you couldn't help but admire him." Old Ma described the situation vividly, and Ma Yan listened with great interest. Even Wang Sufang next to him listened attentively.

"Okay, Lao Ma, stop praising me. This happened several years ago and I was just confused at the time." Yuan Mu said modestly.

In fact, this is really true and it really happened. That was the first shot he fired after coming into this world. It really proves the saying that the gun grew out of his heart.

Just as a few people were talking and laughing, a voice came from the door.

"Uncle Ma! Ma Yan!"

A few seconds after the voice appeared, a figure appeared in the living room, and the five people stared at each other in amazement.

"Wang Xin is here. Has he eaten?" Wang Sufang was the first to speak with a smile.

"Ah, I've eaten. Brother Mu is here. You guys eat first, I'll come back later." Wang Xin smiled awkwardly, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Wang Xin, come stay and have something to eat with us," Yuan Mu tried to persuade him to stay.

"Didn't he just say that he had eaten? Let him go." Ma Kui retorted immediately.

Yuan Mu smiled helplessly. This was not a easy matter to handle. It wasn’t that Ma Kui didn’t like Wang Xin, it was because of his father.

"Look at you." Wang Sufang glared at Ma Kui, then looked at Wang Xin with a smile.

"Well, Wang Xin, just have a bite here. It's a good opportunity to have a drink with your master and Xiao Mu."

"Yes, Wang Xin, eat something." Ma Yan also said.

"Tsk!" Ma Kui glared at Ma Yan fiercely.

Ma Yan made a face at Ma Kui, which made Ma Kui so angry that he wanted to beat her up.

"Then I'll eat something?" Wang Xin walked to the table with a smile and sat next to Yuan Mu.

"Hmph!" Ma Kui snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Come here, Wang Xin, try this. It's made by Uncle Yuan and it's delicious." Ma Yan picked up a piece of food and gave it to Wang Xin and said with a smile.

"He doesn't have hands, why are you pinching him?" Ma Kui was so angry that his nose almost became crooked.

"Dad! A guest is a guest, so what if I just pick some food for him?" Ma Yan rolled her eyes at Ma Kui.

But at this moment, Wang Xin's attention was not on this at all, but on Ma Yan's call of "Uncle Yuan".

"If it's not Ma Yan, what do you call him?" Wang Xin pointed at Yuan Mu.

"Uncle Yuan."

"No, I call him Brother Mu, and you call him Uncle Yuan? There's a generation gap, right?"

"What's the matter? Do you think you need to care about our family affairs?" Ma Kui immediately retorted.

"Uncle Ma, look at you. I'm just asking."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How about we drink?" Yuan Mu really didn't want to listen to them arguing anymore, so he immediately changed the subject.

Wang Xin was simply born into the wrong family. If he had changed his family, he and Ma Yan would have been married long ago, and Ma Kui's attitude towards him would have taken a 180-degree turn.

But this is just an assumption. How can there be so many assumptions in life? Wang Xin is destined to be like this. We can only wait and see how things develop in the future.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next afternoon, Yuan Mu bought a bicycle and loaded it with a lot of daily necessities. He pushed the bicycle slowly towards the compound.

Seeing the children playing, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to the children. Looking at their happy smiles, Yuan Mu also smiled. People at this time are really easy to satisfy.

Children are satisfied if they can eat candies on a regular basis and wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Adults are satisfied if they can eat meat every now and then and have a stable job.

The mental exhaustion at this time was far less serious than in later generations, and people at this time were more simple and honest. Having come to this world for more than four years, he has completely adapted to life here.

Just as Yuan Mu walked forward, he ran into a woman with two ponytails, wearing a pink top, beige trousers, and a pair of women's cloth shoes unique to that era. She was very beautiful, but her every move was full of seduction.

"Hello, are you the new person who moved into this yard?" The woman walked up and took the initiative to talk to Yuan Mu.

"Oh, yes, but I didn't just move here. My home is here. I used to work in another place and was recently transferred back." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

In fact, Yuan Mu had already recognized her. Wasn't this Yao Yuling, the most beautiful girl in the compound? But that was before Ma Yan moved in. Now the two of them were competing for beauty, each with her own merits.

"My name is Yao Yuling, and I'm a train announcer." Yao Yuling said with a beautiful smile and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Mu, and I work in the criminal police team." Yuan Mu also smiled and shook hands with Yao Yuling.

It's true, Yao Yuling's hands are so smooth and tender, and her skin is so nice. No wonder Niu Dali is so obsessed with her.

However, Niu Dali's software and hardware facilities are a bit poor. If Niu Dali was better looking and had a decent job, maybe Yao Yuling would really follow him.

"Oh my god, working in the criminal police team? That's a good job." Hearing this, Yao Yuling covered her mouth in surprise.

"We're all revolutionary work, there's no distinction between high and low." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Oh, you are so aware." Yao Yuling praised.

Just as the two were chatting, a man in work clothes who looked very much like King Gigi walked out from the corner of the doorway.

He took a few quick steps and came between Yuan Mu and Yao Yuling with a smile on his face, and held Yuan Mu's hand.

"Oh, you must be Yuan Mu, right? I heard from Xiaonian and Wang Xin that my name is Niu Dali, and we will all live in the same compound from now on. If you have any problems in the future, I will definitely do my best to help!"
