A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 580 Friends

Is this what they call the coldness and indifference of human relationships?

Is this what they call the fickleness of human relationships?

It's pathetic, and it's worth discussing!

He smiled, but his laughter was full of bitterness and desolation.

"Stop right there, Yuan Qiu, you fatso, don't run if you've got the guts."

Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind. The voice sounded so familiar. I quickly turned around and saw a tall, chubby boy being chased by two other boys. This tall, chubby boy was named Yuan Qiu. He really was a round ball. Although he weighed no less than 250 pounds, he was surprisingly fast when he ran.

"Tch, do you think I'm stupid? Come and catch me if you dare!" Yuan Qiu said dismissively as he ran away.

"You fatso, you better not let us catch you. If we do, I'll skin you alive!" A man roared angrily from behind, but his pursuit didn't slow down in the slightest.

When Chao Bufan got a clear look at the group of teenagers, his eyes lit up.

Yuan Qiu was so focused on running that he suddenly cried out "Ouch!" He tripped over a small stone that was sticking out of the ground and fell face-first into the mud.

"Hey, who put these stones there?"

Yuan Qiu let out a scream, then began to complain. Just then, the two boys caught up and, without a word, sandwiched Yuan Qiu between them. Both of them were panting heavily. The burly boy in front of Yuan Qiu pointed at Yuan Qiu, who was sitting on the ground, and said while panting heavily, "You fatso, you're really something, aren't you? You can run pretty fast! Keep running."

Yuan Qiu retorted defiantly, "Hmph, if this stone hadn't tripped me up, do you think you could have caught up with me?"

"You're not convinced, are you?" the boy asked.

Yuan Qiu pursed his lips, tilted his head, and looked determined not to surrender or yield.

The boy was instantly enraged. He grabbed Yuan Qiu by the neck and roared, "You fatso, you promised to give me the stuff if you caught me! Are you going to give it to me or not?"

Yuan Qiuli ignored him, looking like he was determined to defy him.

The boy's face turned red, and he tightened his grip, shouting, "Give it to me or not?"

Yuan Qiu's trachea was being choked, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. His face slowly began to turn red, but he was extremely stubborn and refused to utter a sound.

The boy grew increasingly angry, his grip tightening, and he repeatedly shouted, "Give it to me or not? Give it to me or not? Give it to me or not?"

Yuan Qiu's eyes rolled upwards. Seeing that the boy seemed to be serious, the fat man quickly shoved him away, coughed a few times, and then angrily said, "Tang Gun, are you trying to strangle me?"

Tang Gun shuddered, realizing that he had indeed gone too far and almost killed someone. However, he was also a stubborn man, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Who—who told you to go back on your word?"

There was a clear hint of fear in his words.

"If I hadn't tripped over this stone, do you think you could have caught up with me?" Yuan Qiu said irritably.

"Go to hell!" Tang Gun roared. "I don't care about you, just tell me if you're going to give it to me or not!"

The boy behind Yuan Qiu chimed in, "You fatso, you'd better just hand it over obediently, or you'll suffer some pain."

Yuan Qiu stood up, shook the dust off his backside, and then said slowly, "Tang Gun, I can give you the things, but you have to keep this a secret and not tell anyone."

Seeing that Yuan Qiu was finally willing to take it out, Tang Gun said angrily, "Damn it! Fatty, who do you think we are? The kind of scoundrel who would betray his friends?"

Yuan Qiu said solemnly, "Then you two swear to heaven that whoever tells anyone about what happened tonight will be struck by lightning."

Upon hearing this, Tang Gun and the other boy were both stunned. Then, Tang Gun decisively raised his hand and said, "I swear, if anyone tells anyone about what happened tonight, may they be struck by lightning."

Immediately afterwards, the other man also raised his hand and made a solemn oath.

After that, Yuan Qiu chuckled, then took out a piece of red cloth wrapped in his robes and handed it to Tang Gun. Tang Gun quickly took it and exclaimed with delight, "You fatso, you're so loyal! Tell me, how did you get her bellyband?"

Not far away, Chao Bufan smiled as he watched his three former best friends frolicking and playing. His mood immediately brightened. However, when he saw that these three guys were chasing each other to the death over a woman's undergarment, he was both amused and exasperated, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Speaking of this, we must mention these four teenagers: Tian Yue, Yuan Qiu, Tang Gun, and Ma Sanpao. These four were the four infamous "talented men" of Da Gu Village. They were idle and irresponsible, causing a lot of trouble for the villagers. One day it was your chicken that was missing, the next day it was your goose that was gone. In the village, anyone who saw them would be scolded without hesitation. They were practically rats in the village.

Yuan Qiu, with an air of righteous indignation, said, "Nonsense, of course it was stolen!"

"Okay," Tang Gun lightly punched Yuan Qiu's chest, then said, "You managed to steal this."

“That’s right,” Yuan Qiu said smugly. Then, as if realizing something, he asked in surprise, “Tang Gun, you wouldn’t happen to have a crush on her, would you?”

"Nonsense, who, who has a crush on her?" Tang Gun retorted immediately, but his tone was clearly a bit off.

"Tch, you dare say you didn't fancy her?" Yuan Qiu asked irritably.

"I, I..." Tang Gun suddenly stammered as if Yuan Qiu had caught him by the scruff of his tongue, but then said confidently, "So what? I've got my eye on her, so what?"

“I knew it,” Yuan Qiu said, as if he had just realized something. “No wonder you care so much about this bellyband.”

"oops!"

Ma Sanpao suddenly screamed, startling Yuan Qiu and Tang Gun, who asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late!" Ma Sanpao waved his hand and said urgently, then turned and ran.

Yuan Qiu and Tang Gun immediately realized what was happening and cursed in unison, "Damn it!" Then they took off after him.

Chao Bufan was surprised. What could have made these three guys so anxious? On a whim, he followed them.

The three of them ran wildly, turning several streets before disappearing into an alley. A moment later, they emerged from the alley looking dejected.

"You fatso, it's all your fault," Tang Gun complained.

“How can you blame me?” Yuan Qiu said irritably. “If you guys hadn’t insisted on pursuing me, would we have missed her taking a bath?”

"Alas! What a pity," Ma Sanpao said with a dejected look.
