Chapter 10, Sudden Change (Part 1)
Shout together loudly ... ... ''
Damn it, I said, Sun Laoda, you didn't mention that this stinky girl also has a dog
Where is Big Yellow
He never expected that merely dealing with a little girl would leave Liuzi severely injured. If it weren't for Zhang Junlong's quick reflexes in pushing Liuzi away, that bite could have pierced through Liuzi's throat.
Welcome, wandering child
Uncle Hu, please give me four sesame cakes
Upon seeing his solitary house by the railway in the distance, Qin Feng placed his index finger to his lips and let out a loud whistle, calling for Da Huang
This also lifted Qin Feng's spirits, as his younger sister was quite enamored with the trio of boys from the island. To this end, Qin Feng picked up a nearly scrapped tape recorder and spent over a month diligently figuring out the power circuit, ultimately managing to repair that broken radio.
Certainly, the scrap collection station seems somewhat distant for Qin Feng, as that bungalow requires more than 4,000 yuan, which he cannot afford at least for now
Memories surged into Qin Feng's mind like a floodgate opening, and as he inhaled the scent of blood in the air, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and his previously relaxed body became tense.
Since moving to this place, apart from a few children, Qin Feng has never offended anyone, so he instinctively believes that the enemies who harmed his parents back then have come after him
In this day and age, people's lives are still not very affluent; when there are a few items at home, no one is willing to throw them away. Therefore, picking up has been changed to collecting. Qin Feng discovered that the money that was once hard to earn seems to have become much easier to come by
Do not stand by idly
Xiao Feng, what good news do you have? Have you found the treasure in the books?
Tearing off a piece of tattered cloth, Qin Feng wrapped it around the base of the gun barrel, gripping it tightly in his hand. As the cold, piercing sensation seeped through the rag into his palm, a frenzied look flashed in Qin Feng's eyes
It must be the big yellow dry one, big yellow, sister, don't worry, I am here to save you!
Qin Feng was standing downwind when a gentle breeze swept by, and he suddenly caught a strong scent of fresh blood at the tip of his nose. This made Qin Feng halt his forward steps, his body trembling slightly.
Having raised Da Huang since it was small, Qin Feng is well aware of Da Huang's temperament and fighting ability. Like himself, Da Huang usually appears lethargic, but once another creature provokes it, it always bites with lethal force
At this moment, however, Liuzi's appearance was somewhat tragic; his right arm was a bloody mess, and half of his body was stained red with blood. Zhang Junlong was wrapping him up with a torn bedsheet.
Due to his younger sister being too small, Qin Feng has never dared to return to the city where he used to live. Regarding whether his parents are dead, it is merely his own conjecture. Now that his enemies have come knocking, the anger that Qin Feng has suppressed for more than five years has finally erupted completely
"Lower your voice, don't attract the people from the town." Hao Laoda, who usually had a beaming smile, now wore a face full of gloom.
Qin Feng did not know what breed of dog Da Huang was, but having raised it since it was young, he had long regarded it as family. The donkey meat he bought today, of course, also included a portion for Da Huang
This filled Qin Feng with fear, while also stirring up immense waves in his heart
In this way, the intermediate steps are eliminated, allowing Qin Feng to earn at least 7 to 8 yuan more each day
Although Old Master Liu has passed away, it seems that Qin Feng and his sister's life has seen a glimmer of hope. Over the past few months, he has heeded Liu Zimo's advice and transformed his approach from scavenging to collecting waste.
As a result, the monthly expenses for the two siblings dining out can still leave them with nearly 300 yuan. Over the past six months, Qin Feng has already saved more than 1,000 yuan.
chirp
Seven to eight yuan a day amounts to several thousand yuan over the course of a year. For the Qin siblings, this is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. If they had not tasted the sweetness of it, Qin Feng would not have realized that the profits from collecting scrap could be so high
When Qin Feng arrived at Hu's Sesame Cake Shop, he bought four sesame cakes and then spent two yuan to purchase some donkey meat. Sesame cakes filled with donkey meat were Qin Jia's favorite, but since coming to Cangzhou, she had only eaten them twice, both times treated by Liu Zimo
Qin Feng calculated that if he purchased that bungalow, he would be able to use the vacant land for free. At that time, he could open a recycling station and sell the waste directly to the state-run station in the city
Old Sun's condition is not much better than Liuzi's. The pants on his right thigh have been completely torn apart, and a large piece of flesh has been brutally ripped off by Dahuang.
Old Sun Er poured a bottle of Erguotou onto the wound, causing Old Sun Da to howl in pain, which was precisely the anguished cry that Qin Feng heard from outside
At this moment, although Qin Feng was extremely worried about the safety of his sister Qin Jia, and his eyes were burning red with hatred, his actions were remarkably calm
In the northern region of March, although it is still somewhat chilly, the withered yellow grass and the trees have already begun to show a hint of spring's greenery. This has alleviated some of the sadness in Qin Feng's heart caused by the passing of Old Master Liu
Come to Apple Paradise
However, Qin Feng believes that after he changes to a tricycle, he will be able to go to the city to collect waste materials. In no more than a year, he will be able to save this "large sum of money" to create a real home for himself and his sister.

However, what no one expected was that the seemingly scrawny big yellow dog was extremely fierce. It completely disregarded the fact that the wolf dog had bitten its tail, and with one swift bite, it firmly clamped down on the opponent's neck, brutally severing its throat.
He threw the warm meat pie, which he had been keeping close to his body, onto the ground. Qin Feng took off his tattered military coat, opened the wooden box containing the bullets, and retrieved the glimmering bullets that shone with a cold light
However, it is those inconspicuous small businesses that, during the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, have created countless millionaires. Those who opened recycling stations in the 1980s and 1990s now have at least a net worth of one million after ten years
"That's not right, why does it have a hint of blood?"
The speed of the large yellow dog, along with its relentless ferocity when biting, is something that even the ruthless Hao, recalling it, cannot help but feel a lingering fear.
Following the rhythm of the "Little Tiger Team" song playing from the recorder in the town, Qin Feng couldn't help but sing along. No matter how mature he was, he was still just a child not yet thirteen years old. The sorrow of parting from his friend quickly faded away as he hummed the song while hurrying home.
On the morning of the second day, only a large pool of fresh blood remained in the room. Through the crack in the door, Qin Feng discovered that two unfamiliar men were still guarding the entrance to his home.
Do not linger at midnight on weekends
Liu Zimo promised Qin Feng that when he returned, he would definitely bring all the cassette albums of the Little Tigers.
The young Qin Feng, holding his completely oblivious younger sister, escaped through the back window and climbed onto a coal transport train not far from home, which brought them to their current place of residence
In the past, after whistling, the figures of Da Huang and his sister would immediately appear at the door. However, Qin Feng walked more than ten meters forward and still did not see Da Huang running out to greet him
The taste of blood accelerated the secretion of hormones in Qin Feng's cerebral cortex several times over. With a quick crouch, Qin Feng's body slipped into a grove of poplar trees on the right.
Uncle Hu smiled and wrapped four freshly baked sesame cakes in oil paper, handing them over to Qin Feng. Having known each other for a few years, he understood that as long as that little girl was not around, Qin Feng would definitely be reluctant to eat them first
What happened? What is wrong with my sister?
Qin Feng could never forget that night five years ago, when he was hidden in the wardrobe by his parents, and the scent he encountered was this very one
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng lay down on the cold ground and slowly crawled towards the direction of the house's entrance, which was behind him. The patches of withered yellow grass interspersed with green completely concealed his figure.
Although Qin Feng did not see much at the time, he distinctly heard his father's cries of agony, as well as the voice of a man demanding to know his whereabouts, both of which Qin Feng would never forget for the rest of his life
At this moment, Da Huang fell silent. Qin Feng believed that something must have happened in his small room. Without three or four adults, it would be impossible to subdue Da Huang.
This scene startled both the children present at the library and several adults who were watching the commotion. From that day on, the notorious reputation of Da Huang vanished without a trace. Although those children despised the Qin siblings, they no longer dared to openly bully them.
Not long ago, Qin Feng took a liking to a bungalow located near the urban area of the town. The bungalow is not large, with an area of only over 30 square meters, but there is a substantial piece of open land outside the bungalow
"Liuzi, my elder brother did not fare well either; did he not also get bitten?"
What joyous occasion is there, Uncle Hu? If you have any scrap materials, please do not sell them to others; I will come to collect them later
In fact, around 1992, people had not yet fully realized that the iron rice bowl was about to become a thing of the past. They still held a deep-seated disdain for individual entrepreneurs, such as those who set up stalls or engaged in small businesses.
This is because the residents of the town have a good impression of Qin Feng. Items such as newspapers, toothpaste, and scrap metal are delivered daily by a flatbed truck. After selling them to the recycling station, Qin Feng discovered that he could earn about ten yuan each day.
Ah... suddenly, a man's anguished scream echoed from that room, the sound was incredibly tragic, interspersed with shouts of anger.
The dilapidated house of Qin Feng was now crowded with people; besides Qin Jia, who lay unconscious on the bed, there were also Hao Laoda, Liuzi, Zhang Junlong, and the two brothers from the Sun family.
Two years ago, a family in the town raised a genuine German Shepherd. One time, the family's child took it out, and under the instigation of a group of children, they set the dog on a large yellow dog.
For more than five years, Qin Feng has been terrified that those people would find him and his sister again. Every night as he falls asleep, he is startled awake at the slightest sound or movement, living in a constant state of vigilance.
