Back To The 80s-Chapter 312 - 322: Road Bully (Additional - for 820 monthly tickets)_1

The young man, upon hearing this, reluctantly said, "Zhang San, it’s not that we don’t respect you, but as you know, there are scarce foreign cars passing through here recently. As a last resort, my brothers turned to you guys for tea money. Considering it’s almost New Year, you should at least contribute some cigarette money."

Eldest Brother Zhang angrily responded, "You little rascal, you’re hardly grown up and already learned how to extort money. Get out of my way now."

The young man’s face fell, nastily retorting, "Old man, I’m doing you a favor, huh? If you want to pass through here today, you have to pay up. Otherwise, forget about it." The people behind the young man also nodded their heads in agreement, echoing his demand for money.

Lu Aiguo became so angry that he wanted to rush over to reason with them, but was stopped by Lu Zhanguo who firmly held his wrist. Aiguo couldn’t understand why his righteous older brother was so calm today. He looked at Zhanguo with some disbelief.

Lu Zhanguo shook his head at Lu Aiguo, signaling him not to act rashly.

Eldest Brother Zhang was also hot-tempered and angrily said, "No money for you! Let’s see what you can do."

"Are you trying to challenge us, huh? Fine, let’s see who can take down whom." Saying this, they rolled up their sleeves, stood in front of the tractor, and stopped moving.

Looking at the six or seven men, Lu Zhanguo knew he could easily defeat them. However, he was worried that they would trouble Eldest Brother Zhang after he and Aiguo left. He stepped forward and asked firmly, "How much money do you want?"

Upon hearing offering money, the young man excitedly replied, "Out of respect for our fellow villagers, ten yuan would be fine."

Eldest Brother Zhang disagreed, unwillingly saying, "Ten! you guys sure are bold to demand. I don’t have that. I’d rather not go to the county today."

"Well, you can’t go back either. Anyways, if you don’t give money today, you won’t get through." The young man blurted, shamelessly.

"You bunch of bastards, you’re defying the natural order, you must be daydreaming about getting rich, daring to extort money at our doorstep." From behind the tractor, an angry shout came, followed by a tall man with a Lei Feng hat tightly covering his face, allowing only his eyes to show.

The young man saw this person, troublemaker he mumbled dolefully, "You, a night walker, should just go on your way. We’re not asking for your money. Why are you sticking your nose into others’ affairs?"

The man in the Lei Feng hat also had a short fuse. He rapidly closed the distance to the youngster and grabbed his collar. He said in a deep, resonant voice, "Nonsense! You’re getting in my way. Those little bastards have crossed the line."

Being grabbed like this, the young man felt like he’d lost face. He motioned and commanded, "What are you all waiting for? Deal with him."

A group from behind rushed forward, the man in the Lei Feng hat surrounded in the middle. Some even drew out knives.

The man in the Lei Feng hat sneered, wrestled the young man’s collar with one hand and forced him out. Seeing this, others crowded in.

Seeing the situation develop this way, Lu Zhanguo knew that whether a fight broke out or not, the young gang would vent their anger on Elder Brother Zhang. Therefore, he decided to fight. Immediately, with a swift roundhouse kick, he sent the knife-wielding robber flying, and together fought alongside the man in the Lei Feng hat.

Upon seeing this, Lu Aiguo didn’t want to be outdone and specifically targeted the weaker ones, as he wasn’t able to defeat the stronger ones.

Both the man in the Lei Feng hat and Lu Zhanguo were trained martial artists. Dealing with these punks was a matter of minutes. In an instant, several men were beaten to the ground, crying and howling.

Hearing the commotion, the men from the village came running with hoes and axes, lanterns in hand. Instantly, they surrounded Lu Zhanguo, the man in the Lei Feng hat, and Lu Aiguo.

When the man in the Lei Feng hat saw this, his anger rose even more. "Can’t you distinguish right from wrong? These youngsters are asking for road money, you all know that right?"

The villagers didn’t respond, clamored, "You guys sure are great, daring to beat up people on our territory of Zhang Family Bay. None of you should think about leaving today."

The man in the Lei Feng hat coldly snorted, "You really think you can bully others just because you have the upper hand? Acting like local tyrants."

"Then you try, see if you can leave Zhang Family Bay today." A voice came from among the villagers.

"Where is the village chief? Is your village chief here?" Lu Zhanguo couldn’t be bothered to waste words with these people, he directly asked.

"The Village Chief is not here, speak your business, don’t mention the Village Chief. Anyway, today you injured one of our villagers, you have to pay compensation." One villager rudely responded.

Lu Zhanguo didn’t entertain this topic. Instead, he directed the speaker, "You, come over."

Seeing that Lu Zhanguo had pointed him out and asked him to come forward, the man couldn’t see Lu Zhanguo’s expression in the pitch-dark, but hearing his chilling tone, he retreated timidly, disappearing into the crowd.

In the faint light from the lanterns, Lu Zhanguo’s cold gaze was fixed on the person who had retreated into the crowd. His voice grew even colder as he said, "Would you like to come here on your own, or do I need to drag you out?"

The villagers started to complain, all clamoring, "Don’t bully people too much."

"Exactly, do you think Zhang Family Bay is without people?"

"Don’t think we are easily frightened. Don’t pretend to be a paper tiger."

Lu Zhanguo didn’t say anything. A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He stepped quickly up to the front of the crowd. Before people could clearly see what happened, Lu Zhanguo had grabbed the collar of the man who spoke earlier and forcefully dragged him out.

"What... what are you doing?" The man was so scared that his teeth were chattering. He always relied on the crowd to bully people, but it seemed that he had met his match today.

Lu Zhanguo extended his other hand, clenched the person’s jaw, and with a slight jerk, the jawbone dislocated. He said in a cold voice, "I’m giving you five minutes to bring the Village Chief here. Otherwise, I’m going to break your arm."

The person whose jaw was dislocated winced in pain and cried out. Not daring to delay, he hurriedly clutched his jaw and ran back to fetch the Village Chief.

Seeing this, the other villagers became timid. They saw Lu Zhanguo’s excellent skills, which reminded them of martial arts masters from the storybooks. They dared not make a sound.

The ones lying on the ground, who had wanted to feign serious injuries to extort money, realized that the situation was not right. The snow on the ground was unbearably cold, so they struggled up and stood quietly among the crowd.

Before long, the Village Chief came running out wrapped in a sheepskin coat, cursing, "You rabbit sons, always causing me trouble."

Lu Zhanguo glanced coldly at the Village Chief. This Village Chief sure knew how to play the good guy. Didn’t he just condone the villagers’ behavior by turning a blind eye?

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry. These youngsters are young and reckless. As you see, you haven’t suffered any losses, can we all just walk away?" The Village Chief put on his amiable facade as soon as he arrived.

The young man whose jawbone had dislocated heard this, immediately grabbed the Village Chief, pointed to his own jaw, and kept moaning.

The Village Chief again apologized to Lu Zhanguo with a smile, "You can see how immature these kids are. If they were rude, please forgive them. Could you please set this kid’s jawbone?"
