Chapter 45: Released from Prison (Part 2)

  "Brother Hu!"

  Qin Feng walked to the front of Hu Baoguo, looked back at the place where he had lived for more than three years, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew clearly that these three years of life would change his whole life.

  "Don't look back, get on the bus!"

  Hu Baoguo pulled Qin Feng's arm, today he didn't come to pick up Qin Feng as the head of the discipline department, so like those parents, he had some scruples in his heart, and turning back would mean going back on one's word.

  "Brother Hu, you're also so feudal?"

  Qin Feng smiled slightly, but shook off Hu Baoguo's hand and did not get on the car with the Shishi license plate.

  His eyes inadvertently swept far away, Qin Feng said: "Brother Hu, where are you taking me?"

  "Where to go? Of course, going home."

  Hu Baoguo said in a bad temper: "You little devil, go back home and behave yourself for a while. I've found a school for you, and after four or five months, you'll retake your third year of high school. Then, when the time comes, take the college entrance exam, and I'll have fulfilled my obligations to your old man."

  Although he only learned the skills of fighting and self-defense from Zai, Hu Baoguo was very clear in his heart that the old man was not an ordinary person. His hands were skilled, but what he was most adept at were those strange and miscellaneous techniques.

  If it were before liberation, relying on those evil ways might have made a good living, but now that liberation is almost fifty years old, among the eight external doors, except for acrobatics, I'm afraid they will all be struck by the state. Hu Baoguo was afraid that Qin Feng would follow the old path of Lao Yezi.

  "Go to college? I'll consider it..."

  After hearing Hu Baoguo's words, Qin Feng thought seriously for a moment and shook his head, saying: "Brother Hu, I'm afraid the path I take is different from yours, so I probably can't live according to your arrangements!"

  If someone had offered to take care of Qin Feng's siblings before he went to prison, he would have definitely agreed.

  But now, Qin Feng has learned that his parents are not dead, and his sister is also missing. He has too many unsolved puzzles in his heart, how can he follow Hu Baoguo back home to be a obedient child?

  "Damn it, you little brat must have gotten dizzy!"

  Hu Baoguo's eyes widened, and he reached out to grab Qin Feng, scolding: "If it weren't for the sake of Lao Yezi's face, I'd take care of you once and for all. You ungrateful kid, I went out of my way to get you an ID card and found a graduation class for you, and yet you dare not go?"

  Hu Baoguo was originally a hot-tempered person. In the past, he had to hold back his temper when facing Qin Feng, but now that the old man is gone, he thinks he's Qin Feng's guardian and doesn't speak as politely as before.

  "Thank you, Brother Hu, I appreciate your kind intentions. Your place is like a home to me, and I'll go there often in the future."

  Qin Feng's body slightly shifted to the side, his right hand's index finger flicked out, accurately hitting Hu Baoguo's tiger's mouth, and the claw that was reaching for his own right hand suddenly retracted as if electrified.

  "You... you dare to fight me?"

  Hu Bao's eyes were wide with anger, but he didn't grab Qin Feng again because his right hand was numb from the palm to the elbow and he couldn't exert any strength.

  "Brother Hu, don't worry, I will never set foot in this kind of place again!"

  Qin Feng pulled Hu Baoguo's arm and pressed it on his shoulder, the numbness in Hu Baoguo's hand immediately dissipated, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "The old man is indeed biased, this blood-closing meridian technique was actually taught to you too!"

  Hu Baoguo knew that the old man had a kind of qigong-like skill, which he had seen with his own eyes when he was young. The thin and weak Zai Yi could immobilize a strong man with just one touch.

  Hu Baoguo was eager to learn from the old master at that time, but he was beaten by Zai Yue with a solid slap on the buttocks. Now seeing Qin Feng's move, he felt a bit sour in his heart.

  "Brother Hu, don't worry about it, I can take care of myself when I go out." Qin Feng smiled and helped Hu Baoguo tidy up his clothes.

  "The old man became even more worried, 'You little rascal won't suffer a loss, it's others who will be unlucky!'"

  Hu Baoguo's face showed a sulky expression, and he was also somewhat helpless. Qin Feng had already been released from prison, and where he wanted to go was not something that Hu could decide.

  Moreover, having known Qin Feng for over three years, he knew that although this kid seemed unremarkable and didn't speak much, he actually had a stronger sense of self than anyone else. The "leaving without saying goodbye" incident from three years ago was the best proof.

  Qin Feng knew that Hu Baoguo was genuinely concerned about him, so he didn't get annoyed and smiled: "Brother Hu, my mind is made up, don't persuade me too much. Please help me greet Uncle and Aunt later, I'll go to pay them a New Year's visit!"

  "You... you little brat, can't you just follow Old Hu and live a simple life?" Hu Baoguo stomped his foot, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Qin Feng, maybe he would have really tied him up.

  "Such days are not suitable for me, the sky is vast and there will always be a place where I, Qin Feng, can settle down!"

  Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Hu brother, now that communication is so advanced, I heard that mobile phones are available, isn't it easy to find you?"

  Pausing for a moment, Qin Feng continued: "Right, the prescription that Master gave you, you must take it on time. After half a year, the hidden injury from the previous gunshot wound will be gone. You must remember!"

  Hu Baoguo participated in the Vietnam War, had been imprisoned in a tiger cage, fought against enemies with bayonets, and had one knife wound and two bullet holes on his body, which would act up whenever it was overcast.

  Zai Zhe had once given him a special prescription, but Hu Bao Guo had never taken it seriously. Qin Feng didn't want to see this generous big brother get into trouble, so he reminded him before leaving.

  "That little injury is nothing." Hu Baoguo wanted to persuade him again, but looking at Qin Feng's determined face, he could only sigh helplessly.

  Qin Feng nodded his head, but didn't want to talk about it anymore. He turned around and walked towards the street outside the office, saying: "Brother Hu, we'll meet again someday, take care of yourself!"

  Seeing Qin Feng about to leave, Hu Baoguo suddenly became anxious and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, you little brat doesn't even want your ID? And how am I supposed to find you in the future?"

  As for Qin Feng's affairs, Hu Baoguo also went to great lengths.

  Although the household registration management system was not very strict at that time, he cleared Qin Feng's criminal record and also arranged a household registration for him, which also took great risks.

  If Qin Feng commits another offense with this identity and gets caught, Hu Baoguo's job will be gone for sure, not to mention that he might also be held accountable for other responsibilities.

  "Uncle Hu, if nothing unexpected happens, I will go to your place every year for Chinese New Year."

  To say nothing of the others, just because Zai's ashes are in the Hu family, Qin Feng will not be absent from running there. His feelings for his master even exceed those of his parents who have become somewhat vague in his memory.

  He waved his hand and walked away, Qin Feng's footsteps didn't stop, his voice came from afar: "As for the ID card, thank you, Uncle Hu! From now on, I'll be a good citizen!"

  "Damn it, with you being like this, you still want to be a good citizen?"

  Looking at the ID card pinched between Qin Feng's raised fingers, Hu Baoguo couldn't help but laugh and cry, he even didn't know when Qin Feng had "snatched" the ID card from himself.
