The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 441 Hitchhiking Request

Chapter 441 Hitchhiking Request

The ordinary, even bland, college-wide meeting did not give Li Qin any enjoyment whatsoever.

This left him very disappointed.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Just then, Li Qin suddenly heard a series of pitiful cries.

Li Qin subconsciously looked out the window.

When he realized that the sound was coming from the Liu family's house diagonally across the street, a look of speechlessness flashed across Li Qin's eyes.

"This Liu Haizhong is really a good-for-nothing. He was humiliated at the hospital-wide meeting and was scolded by He Yuzhu. He was in a bad mood and all he did was go home and beat his children."

Li Qin had absolutely no respect for Liu Haizhong's behavior.

If Liu Haizhong had made a direct statement at the conference, or had taken action against He Yuzhu, then Li Qin might have thought more highly of Liu Haizhong.

Although Li Qin found it somewhat unacceptable, he knew that Liu Haizhong beating his own son was ultimately his own business, and Li Qin neither wanted to nor intended to meddle.

You'd be better off spending that time reading a book.

However, considering that he had important things to do tomorrow, Li Qin only read for a short while before going to rest.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Qin got up.

He quickly dealt with his personal problems first, and then ate something hastily.

Then he opened the door.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, most residents of the courtyard houses, and even most of the residents of the old city, should still be asleep.

But today is different.

After Li Qin opened the door, he immediately saw that the lights in many of the houses in the courtyard were already on.

You can faintly hear the sounds of people washing up coming from the pool in the middle courtyard.

"I didn't expect that even though Yi Zhonghai reminded us yesterday, so many people still got up so early today."

A look of surprise flashed across Li Qin's face.

If you ask why the residents of these courtyard houses get up so early, it's obviously to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony and the subsequent rituals.

Although this year's military parade is not a large-scale event, it is still something to look forward to.

Before his time travel, Li Qin could only watch on television, but this time he was able to go there in person.

He was equally excited.

The key point is that, according to the annual tradition, the great man will also appear and speak at Tiananmen Square today.

Seeing a great man in person is something that would surely excite most people.

"Li Qin, are you ready?"

Just then, Xu Damao appeared in front of Li Qin, dressed neatly.

It was obvious that Xu Damao had gotten up and spent some time getting ready, and had already finished his personal tasks.

Li Qin had already made arrangements with Xu Damao last night to go to Tiananmen Square together today.

"I'm all ready here and can leave anytime. What about you?"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Li Qin first nodded, then asked a question in return.

Xu Damao then stylishly tossed his hair, and after looking at it, nodded and said:

"I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for you."

Li Qin nodded:

"In that case, let's set off. The sooner we leave, the fewer people there will be."

Normally, everyone is busy going to work to earn money and make a living. Even if they know there is a flag-raising ceremony, they won't go to watch it because the ceremony is held a long time ago.

If you really want to go see it, you'll need to get up at two or three in the morning.

This is a huge challenge for people who go to work.

But today is different. Whether it's factories or government agencies, almost everyone will have a holiday for National Day.

At this time, people have a very strong sense of national identity, and since everyone has time now, there will definitely be a lot of people watching the flag-raising ceremony.

Arrive early to secure a good spot; otherwise, you might only be able to see the backs of other people's heads.

Xu Damao knew this too, so he nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation;

"Let's go then."

Li Qin casually closed the door, then pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

Xu Damao naturally stayed close to Li Qin.

As they were about to leave the backyard, Xu Damao seemed to remember something, turned back, and shouted loudly in the direction of his house:

"Mom and Dad, Li Qin and I are leaving now."

Without waiting to see if anyone in the family had heard him, he immediately hurried after Li Qin.

When some residents in the courtyard saw Li Qin and Xu Damao, they would smile and nod to greet them.

Everyone knew perfectly well why the two of them had gone out at that time.

No one bothered to ask.

After all, almost everyone who gets up at this time has the same idea.

However, when they saw the bicycle that Li Qin was pushing, a look of envy flashed in their eyes.

Of course, some also showed signs of jealousy:

For example, Uncle Liu Haizhong, and Sha Zhu He Yuzhu:

Unfortunately, these feelings of jealousy had no effect on Li Qin other than providing him with a lot of emotional energy.

"Li Qin, wait a minute!"

We passed through the Intermediate People's Court without any problems, and I thought things would continue smoothly.

Unexpectedly, when Li Qin was pushing his bicycle past the front yard, Yan Bugui called out to him.

Although Li Qin was somewhat reluctant to talk to Yan Bugui, the other party had at least called out to him, and quite a few other people had heard it as well.

It would be unreasonable for Li Qin to pretend he hadn't heard anything at this point.

If Li Qin actually does that, then the label of disrespecting elders and being impolite will definitely be pinned on Li Qin's head.

Although Li Qin didn't really care, he had chosen to live a secular life.

So there are some things that should be noted.

Therefore, even though Li Qin was somewhat unwilling, he eventually stopped.

He turned to look at Yan Bugui and asked with some curiosity:

"Is there something you need, Uncle? If it's not urgent, I'd like to leave now. I'd like to get to Tiananmen Square as soon as possible."

Everyone knew each other's purpose, so Li Qin didn't waste any words.

Tell Yan Bugui directly that if it's not urgent, don't waste my time.

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yan Bugui showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, he revealed a look of joy.

He ran up to Li Qin in a few steps and immediately said:

"I happen to be going to Tiananmen Square too, Li Qin, could you give me a ride on your bicycle?"

Li Qin was not at all surprised that Yan Bugui also went to join the festivities at Tiananmen Square.

Regardless of Yan Bugui's character or personality, his questioning skills are indeed among the best in the courtyard.

He does indeed possess a bit of the integrity of a scholar, though perhaps not much.

In addition, the school itself is somewhat special, so there may also be school-related tasks.

It's normal for Yan Bugui to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to hitch a ride with him, Li Qin's smile froze instantly.

Although Li Qin's bicycle had carried other people before, he was absolutely unwilling to carry Yan Bugui.

Asking Li Qin to take Yan Bugui on a bicycle would be a disaster for Li Qin.

Li Qin felt disgusted just thinking about it.

At this moment, Li Qin really wanted to ask Yan Bugui, "Where do you get the nerve to make me ride a bike and do hard labor for you?"
