Chapter 470 Refusing a toast means having to drink a forfeit
Once the window is open, Lu Yao will no longer be able to guard both ends.
Many employees jumped out of the building.
Lu Yao realized that things were really not going to work out.
These guys are really friendly!
If this were in the 21st century, with a more robust legal system, very few people would help others fight; the cost of committing a crime would be too high.
But that didn't work in the 1970s.
These guys fight without considering the consequences!
Beating up bad guys might only get you locked up for a few days at most. If you run away, you might be able to pull some strings and get yourself released.
In addition, people are more loyal at this time. If you don't help when everyone else is taking action, you will be laughed at later and may even be isolated.
So these electricians all seemed to be fully charged.
When more than twenty people are fighting against one, how can they not be brave!
In an instant, the battlefield was in the courtyard.
Lu Yao realized this wouldn't do.
These guys grabbed their weapons too.
Shovels, hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers—you name it, they have it.
If I hadn't killed two of them, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
Fuck you, I'm not playing anymore!
Lu Yao threw the two wrenches out like he was throwing a grenade.
No one was hit.
When the group of kids saw that Lu Yao was empty-handed, they rushed forward with even more energy.
Captain Lü has already started arranging his troops:
"Liu San, you guys block the main gate. Lao Wang, you guys guard the wall and don't let him jump over and escape. The rest of you, get him! I'll take responsibility if you kill him!"
He was the first to rush up, carrying a shovel.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
His arm jerked, and the shovel fell to the ground with a clang, as if it had hit a rock.
"Bang!"
His military cap flew off his head.
The bullet pierced the tip of his military cap and grazed his scalp.
Lu Yao pulled the pistol out of his coat.
Two more shots followed, knocking off the wrenches held by the two men behind Captain Lü.
Lu Yao's marksmanship was honed through sheer volume of bullets.
In my previous life, I spent a period of time in the mountains shooting guns.
You don't even need to aim when shooting sparrows; you can just raise your hand and shoot them down based on your instincts.
Let alone something as big as a wrench.
As soon as the three shots were fired, the men panicked and retreated in unison.
"This kid has a gun!"
"Holy crap, what does he do?!"
As soon as Lü Guanfei stopped, Lu Yao pounced on him.
He kicked him to the ground, held him down with his hand, and pressed the gun against the back of his head.
"Damn it, still pretending?"
Then look at the workers who retreated:
"Anyone else want to fight? Come on!"
If even one of these workers were reasonable, Lu Yao wouldn't want to resort to violence.
There's nothing we can do now; if you're kind, they'll be ruthless.
As soon as the gun was drawn, some of the cowards ran away.
No matter the time, there are always plenty of people who resort to cheap punches.
When you have an absolute advantage, he is more ferocious than anyone else; once the momentum reverses, he runs away faster than anyone else.
Suddenly, only about ten of the twenty-odd people remained, and none of them dared to approach. Looking at Lu Yao's smoking gun barrel, who wouldn't feel apprehensive?
Everyone was wondering why this kid, who wasn't from Jiapigou looking for electricity, was carrying a gun.
Who exactly is this person?
But Captain Lü was a bit stubborn; even while lying on the ground, he kept yelling:
"Kid, if you've got the guts, shoot me dead..."
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Lu Yao fired two shots at the ground. The bullets grazed his ears and penetrated the frozen soil, making the kid dizzy and causing ringing in his ears.
"Do you really want to die? If you do, I'll grant your wish!"
"..."
Even the most stubborn Lu Guanfei dared not provoke Lu Yao at this moment.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be Guanfei; he would have lost his life!
So when Lu Yao asked again, they all remained silent.
He closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Begging for mercy is definitely not going to work; there are so many men watching.
But Lu Yao didn't have time to waste with him here.
He shoved the butt of a gun into the back of his head.
"Damn it, I'm asking you a question. Do you want to die? If you don't, call me 'Grandpa,' say you submit, and I'll spare your life!"
As he spoke, the scalding hot gun barrel was pressed against the back of his head again.
Of course, Lu Yao was just bluffing him and wouldn't actually kill him, but the kid's arrogance just now really infuriated Lu Yao.
This is because I have a gun; if I didn't, they might beat me up.
Why is it so difficult for people from the countryside to get things done in the city?
Little did they know that at that time, even the units in the city were all operating on a communal basis, and most things were done in a slow and inefficient manner.
Even a sales clerk in a state-owned store had quite a big attitude.
There is no agricultural power station yet in the Shuiling area, and most of the construction workers from the city are unwilling to go to the countryside.
So when they heard that the people coming from the countryside were looking for work, they were immediately unhappy.
Who wants to go out and freeze during the Lunar New Year?
With a gun pointed at the back of his head, Lü Guanfei wasn't sure if this hothead would really go crazy and kill him.
But if he calls himself "Master," he'll lose face in the future; no one will respect him anymore.
Just then, Zhang Fengnian, the director of the rural power station, came running over.
"What's going on? What's going on? Who fired the shot?"
He was a soldier, so he has a very keen ear and can distinguish between the sound of gunfire and firecrackers.
Seeing that Lu Yao had Captain Lü pinned to the ground, he quickly came over and tried to smooth things over:
"Hey, young man, why are you fighting? Didn't I tell you to come over and ask Captain Lü for help with some work?"
Lu Yao smashed Lü Guanfei's head with the barrel of a gun:
"Ask him why I beat him up! Did he ask for it?!"
When Lü Guanfei is being ridden on top of someone, what reason is there for him to argue?
They remained silent no matter how many times they were asked.
Zhang Fengnian came over and pulled Lu Yao along, and Lu Yao readily agreed.
I just wanted to find people to do the work, not necessarily to beat them up.
They pulled Lü Guanfei up and led him into the house.
The workers who followed also became well-behaved.
The boy in the green military uniform, whose face was covered in blisters from the hot stove hook, stood obediently to one side.
Zhang Fengnian asked again, and Lu Yao explained the situation to him.
Show Zhang Fengnian the strips of paper that Lü Guanfei had torn into pieces on the kang (heated brick bed), and ask him:
"Director Zhang, did you give me this note so he could humiliate me?"
"That's right, young man, you've wronged me... Hahaha, don't be angry, have a smoke."
He quickly took out the blue box of Spring Festival cigarettes and handed it over.
Lu Yao did not answer.
Director Zhang was very embarrassed, and turned around to scold Lü Guanfei:
"You idiot, all you do all day is drink and play! It's already the New Year, time to get back to work! Hurry up and tell Comrade Lu when we're going to get to work!"
Then he pointed at the workers and cursed:
"You bunch of bastards, you all jumped in when Lü Guanfei made a move. Are you gangsters? Why are you all so spineless? Old Wang, you're fifty years old and you're still getting into fights. Don't you have any brains?"
These people all lowered their heads and remained silent.
It's like a group of people getting beaten up by one person and then getting yelled at. Isn't that like refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit? It's so embarrassing.
A few young people also looked unconvinced.
However, they didn't dare to offend the director.
Lü Guanfei agreed to make preparations now and go immediately.
Lu Yao then left.
Zhang Fengnian politely saw Lu Yao off.
He turned back to the construction team's room, pointed at them, and cursed:
"You Tiger Whistle brigade members aren't happy about this, are you? Do you even know who brought this guy on this mission? Have you ever heard of Shi Shouyin?"
The workers were all taken aback when they heard the name "Shi Shouyin".
