Chapter 508: Chapter 197 More Helpers_1

Before daybreak, Yan Fei was already fully equipped and ready to go.

Actually, there wasn’t much to prepare. He simply slung his old-looking bag with the world in it over his shoulder and was ready to head off.

Before he could reach the big bridge, a tricycle happened to pass by. Originally, the tricycle was intending to turn in, but Heizi, who was on the vehicle, spotted Yan Fei and started to wave at him, causing the tricycle to reverse and wait for him.

Once Yan Fei got on the tricycle, Heizi boasted proudly, "How’s that, Brother Fei? My arrangements are pretty good, right? It’s both fast and convenient to take a tricycle. It’ll take us there for just a few dollars, and save us half a day’s walk."

The few young men on the vehicle were all messily calling out ’Brother Fei’, making him feel like a gang leader.

Yan Fei chuckled at the people around him. Aside from Heizi, there were five others. Four of them were some of those who Yan Fei had asked to ’help’ guard the cattle farm during the night – they were those who came over on the night of the shooting incident, and were familiar to him because they had all met more than once.

There was only one person whom Yan Fei had never seen at the cattle farm before yet looked vaguely familiar. He couldn’t resist asking, "Have I seen you at school? Why aren’t you in school now?"

The person he asked chuckled a little unnaturally, "I just don’t feel like going."

"This is Erwa, Zhang Dawa’s younger brother. He got into a fight just as school started, and the teacher gave him a holiday and asked him to write a self-reflection. But he didn’t go back to school." Heizi explained to Yan Fei. "I’ve tried to persuade him, but he simply won’t listen. A few more days in school can still be advantageous. Even if you don’t study, you should at least absorb some knowledge. What’s the point of loitering around when there’s nothing to do at home?"

"It’s just self-reflection, right? Just get someone to write it for you." Yan Fei laughed when he heard the reason for quitting school. "You’ve been in school for a year and a half. If you hang on until next year, you’ll get a diploma. If you quit now, you won’t even get a diploma. If you have nothing to do, just go to school. It’s only a year more, and it’ll soon pass. Just go back to school every now and then, get your diploma and that’s it."

Erwa was slightly embarrassed by his words, but it was clear that he had no intention of returning to school. He just laughed and remained silent.

"Why didn’t Zhang Fuqiang come over today?" Seeing that he had no intention of going back to school, Yan Fei didn’t try to persuade him any further and changed the subject. His elder brother Zhang Dawa, who is commonly known as Fuqiang, was a well-known character to Yan Fei as they had met a few times before.

"Fuqiang went to Xin Province. His uncle there has made a fortune and started a few hundred acres of orchards. He has asked Fuqiang to help him out. Fuqiang left just after the New Year." Li Fang, a young man sitting next to him, chimed in. He then glanced at Erwa. "Erwa is quite a young student and I heard he performed well in school. Otherwise, his family would have let him follow his brother. Who would have guessed that he suddenly lost interest in school."

"Did anything happen? A fight isn’t a big deal. It shouldn’t make you want to quit school," Yan Fei added when he heard that Erwa was performing well academically.

Actually, they all went to the same school and were in the same grade. But Yan Fei was practically not a student. He went to school so infrequently that he could hardly remember the names of all his classmates, let alone students from other classrooms. It was indeed extraordinary if he could recognize someone by face, let alone understand their specific situation.

Upon Yan Fei’s questions, Erwa seemed to be on the verge of saying something. Seeing this, Heizi couldn’t help but urge, "You aren’t trying to play coy with us, are you, Erwa? We used to hang out with your brother all the time. Now that he’s not here, can’t you tell us if something’s bothering you? Don’t you see us as your brothers?"

"The guy I fought was Zhou Dalian’s cousin. He had a foul mouth, and they ganged up on me. I threw a brick at his face and made his nose and mouth bleed. Zhou Dalian said that if I go back to school...he will arrange people to mess with me." Encouraged by Heizi, Erwa finally spilled the beans.

"Bullshit, who does he think he is!" A guy named Song Tianjie immediately cursed aloud.

The others also started cursing and swearing. Zhou Dalian owned a pool hall in the town, and even set up a dance hall, but it seems that he recently converted the dance hall into a video hall. Yan Fei wasn’t really interested in these things thus was not very aware of them. Still, he got to know about this ’major event’ of having a new video hall in town through Jiao Bing and Yang Qian, his two deskmates.

Seeing others getting ready to fight, Yan Fei turned to Erwa and said with a smile, "If you can still attend, you should continue your schooling. Regarding Zhou Dalian, we can probably sort things out by letting Heizi talk to him. It’s just a fight, not a big deal!"

Even though he hadn’t met Zhou Dalian, Yan Fei felt that the man should give him some respect. Unless...he didn’t want to save face!

Heizi loved this kind of opportunity to show off. So, when he saw this opportunity, he immediately struck his chest and promised, "Don’t worry, Brother Fei, I won’t let you down. If he doesn’t comply, I’ll drop your name. If he dares to act up, we’ll teach him a lesson."

All the boys laughed. Another boy named Chang Liang turned to Erwa and joked, "Brother Fei has spoken, what are you still afraid of? You can go back to school without worry, right? Get your self-reflection ready and report to your teacher tomorrow!"

Erwa blushed in the face of everyone’s laughter, saying softly, "Thank you, Brother Fei."

"Your brother has helped me out before. So, don’t worry about it." Yan Fei waved it off. "But, man, you sure are ruthless! Smacking a brick to the face, no wonder Zhou Dalian is after you!"
