"Yiyaya, yiyaya," Yu Haiyang hummed the opera he learned from the radio in the brigade. He was in a good mood. He imagined the lively scene in Tianwa Village after the study class was built in the future. It would be more lively than the Chinese New Year. This is all thanks to Liang Sumei, a good craftsman. I must go and check on Liang Sumei's injury when I go back today.

While he was daydreaming, suddenly, two dark shadows jumped out from the dense straw bushes. Both of them were wearing masks, and their movements were swift, as if cheetahs had set their sights on their prey and were about to pounce on him.

He woke up instantly, nimbly picked up the cloth bag containing the construction funds, and ran, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Help! Help! Help!" The sound echoed in the quiet path, sounding particularly terrifying.

However, two legs are no match for four. One of the masked men stretched out his strong arms and pulled him hard, knocking him to the ground. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and could hardly breathe. The other masked man held a cold and shining knife and approached his stomach fiercely. At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair.

At this thrilling moment, suddenly, two people rushed down from the mountain, like gods descending from the sky. They were Wei Zhi and Xu Yan, and their figures looked so heroic in the afterglow of the setting sun. Wei Zhi jumped up and kicked the masked man with a knife away. The knife slashed across Yu Haiyang's arm, and blood instantly dyed his sleeves red.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other masked man quickly snatched the cloth bag from Yu Haiyang's hand. However, the bag was cleverly wrapped around his wrist and could not be pulled out. The masked man could only give up helplessly, helped up another companion who was kicked down, and tried to escape.

But it was too late, Wei Zhi and Xu Yan had already pressed the two gangsters' arms tightly from behind. They quickly untied their belts and tied the two gangsters' hands tightly.

Yu Haiyang sat on the ground, watching everything in front of him, his heart filled with gratitude and relief. He knew that if Wei Zhi and Xu Yan had not appeared in time, he would have died. He covered his injured arm, struggled to stand up, walked to the two gangsters, and took off their masks.

"Jiang... Jiang Fu!?" Yu Haiyang's expression was full of disbelief. "Jiang Fu, do you know that you will be committing an aggravated crime by doing this? This is public money, how dare you rob it?"

Jiang Fu snorted disdainfully, "Yu Haiyang, I've been displeased with you for a long time. Who do you think you are? You dare to control me? You are just a monitor of a crappy study class and you want to step on my head. What qualifications do you have? Ah!!!" Before Jiang Fu finished speaking, Xu Yan could no longer suppress his anger. He quickly curled up his index and middle fingers, pinched the flesh on Jiang Fu's arm, and twisted it hard, as if he wanted to twist the piece of flesh off Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu grimaced in pain and his face turned pale in an instant. The pain from being twisted was even more excruciating than the kick just now.

"Do you know each other?" Wei Zhi asked Yu Haiyang.

Yu Haiyang said with certainty, "He is the son of our Cunjiang accountant."

Wei Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Yu, in my opinion, it is more appropriate to send these two people to the police station. You can also go to the town hospital to treat the wound. But I need to lend your bicycle to my buddy and let him go back first. What do you think?"

Yu Haiyang said that this plan was feasible. He raised his arm to Xu Yan and said, "Comrade, you have to take it yourself." Xu Yan carefully put the bicycle on the ground and assured Yu Haiyang, "Don't worry, brother. I will clean your new bicycle for you when I get back."

Yu Haiyang quickly shook his head: "My savior, please don't be polite, just ride!"

The educated youth had finished their morning labor and were back from the farm for lunch. Liang Sumei had not seen Wei Zhi and Xu Yan for a long time, and she was filled with anxiety. She would occasionally glance through the window at the yard, but she could never catch sight of the familiar faces.

Just as she was daydreaming, a crisp bicycle bell broke the afternoon tranquility. This sudden sound attracted the attention of the educated youth who had not yet taken their lunch break.

"Xu Yan, you haven't been seen all morning. It turns out you went to rob a bicycle!" Zhao Wei joked while touching the headlight in front of the bicycle, his tone full of envy for Xu Yan.

"Don't touch it. It belongs to someone else. I have to return it this afternoon." Xu Yan pulled Zhao Wei's hand away from the bicycle. He ignored Zhao Wei's teasing and drove into Liang Sumei's yard without looking back.

Liang Sumei glimpsed Xu Yan pushing his bicycle through the window, but he was alone. She looked at Xu Yan suspiciously as he walked in, and couldn't help asking, "Where's Wei Zhi? Didn't he come back with you?"

"Liang Sumei, you may not know that Wei Zhi and I have performed a great deed today. Tianwa Village will give us an award for bravery." Xu Yan's words were full of excitement, and his expression revealed an excitement that he could hardly suppress.

When Liang Sumei heard the words "heroic act", she felt a sense of uneasiness. She immediately thought that the two of them might have encountered danger on the road, so she asked anxiously: "How is Wei Zhi now? Is he injured?"

"He went to the police station." Xu Yan deliberately kept it a secret, with a mysterious smile on his face. In the past two days, he noticed that Wei Zhi's attitude towards Liang Sumei was a little special. Although he couldn't explain what was special, as Wei Zhi's good brother, he felt it necessary to help Wei Zhi check and see if Liang Sumei was worthy of their close friendship.

Xu Yan's words made Liang Sumei's heart tighten. She didn't expect that helping her deliver the information would lead to Wei Zhi being taken to the police station. Her voice trembled a little: "Did he...did he hurt anyone else?"

Xu Yan pursed his lips and nodded. He did not lie. Wei Zhi clearly kicked the man.

Liang Sumei thought silently for a while, then raised her head and said seriously, "Xu Yan, I may have to trouble you again. Please take me to the Tianwa Village Committee on your bike. I will take Yu Haiyang's ox cart to the town police station and explain to the public security comrades that I asked Wei Zhi to help deliver the architectural draft. After all, it involves the construction of Tianwa Village, which is equivalent to his meritorious service. What's more, you are acting bravely, which is a great deed. Perhaps the punishment will be reduced a little."

"Alas, this matter may be a bit troublesome." Xu Yan sighed, "Yu Haiyang has also been taken to the police station."

"Ah?" Liang Sumei exclaimed, obviously shocked by the news.

Xu Yan found Liang Sumei's shocked expression funny, so he decided not to tease this loyal girl anymore and told her everything from delivering the documents to encountering the gangsters. Liang Sumei listened quietly, and her expression relaxed.

"Liang Sumei, who do you think you are! Who gave you the courage to order Wei Zhi around? Don't think that you can treat us educated youth as free labor just because you are a local resident! You are just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. Don't try to use your little tricks to plot against us educated youth. We are not your slaves and we won't fall for your tricks!" Judy, who lived in the room next to Liang Sumei, was instantly ignited with anger after listening to Xu Yan's narration. She thought she was from the city and was full of contempt for rural people in her heart. Now that she knew that Liang Sumei, who was from the countryside, dared to order people from the city around, and the target was Wei Zhi, whom she and Deng Jiujiu both liked, which made her feel more dissatisfied. Deng Jiujiu was gentle and embarrassed to scold Liang Sumei in person, but Judy would not tolerate it.
