Chapter 299 Study Group Arms Collection
The next day, it was time for another class.

There were no accidents during the daytime work, and everyone consciously reduced Li Kailang's burden so that he could read more books.

Li Kailang is also happy to have some free time, but he still has to complete some tasks every day so as not to add burden to everyone.

The day passed in a flash. After work, Li Kailang went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seasonings and passed by the black market on the way.

"Oh, there are flowers on display. If you have time, you can go there."

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last went there."

Li Kailang calculated when was the last time he went to the black market. It was early April. Now it is the end of May, which means it has been more than 4 days.

So much time has passed, the noise from the mortar fire should have died down, so we can go.

Thinking of this, Li Kailang bought the seasonings and went home to eat.

The meals are prepared in advance and placed in the ring to avoid cooking at the last minute and delaying rest.

Time passed quickly and Li Kailang came to the place where he had class again.

There are quite a lot of people coming today, four or five more than I saw last week.

Students came in one after another, and soon everyone was there. Qi Mengru looked at all the classmates.

"It's a rare occasion that everyone came to class today. It's really a cause for celebration. By the way, we had a new student in our class last week. Maybe some of you don't know about him yet?"

As she spoke, Qi Mengru looked at Li Kailang and motioned for him to stand up.

"This Li Kailang is a new student who just came last week. Students who didn't come to class last week, come and recognize his familiar face. Don't treat him as an outsider and drive him out."

Those people turned to look at Li Kailang. With his slender figure and handsome face, he was much better than the other boys in the class.

Especially his height, which is one of the tallest in the class.

Since he was asked to stand up, Li Kailang could only introduce himself again: "Hello everyone, I am Li Kailang, your new classmate, and I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

After saying that, Li Kailang bowed slightly and sat down again.

Qi Mengru smiled at Li Kailang and said, "Thank you, Li, for introducing me again. Now that everyone has met Li, don't pretend not to know him in the future."

The students who didn't come nodded, but they were curious about how Li Kailang got in.

It's almost the end of the semester, and he was able to get in. He is really amazing, especially under the teaching of Yan Wanbin.

However, they needed to know some news about Li Kailang first, so they asked their friends in the class.

"Hey, Jin Jianxian, do you know the background of Li Kailang? How did he get in and what kind of person is he?" a girl asked.

Jin Jianxian looked up at the girl and said, "I don't know. You should ask him."

Girl: "How can I ask him? I don't know him well, how can I say it out loud?"

Jin Jianxian: "We'll get to know each other very quickly. He'll join our study group. When we get to know each other well, you can ask him yourself."

"Huh? Ah?" The girl was confused at first, and then surprised: "He joins our study group?"

Jin Jianxian nodded, "Why? Yu Xingmei, haven't you always felt that our study group is too small? If you want to add someone, this is already there."

Yu Xingmei: "I do think so, but this person suddenly joined in and can understand the knowledge. I don't want to be a burden and tutor him."

Jin Jianxian: "You worry too much, this guy is really powerful."

As he spoke, Jin Jianxian explained the situation of Li Kailang's random inspection last week.

"I also asked the teacher. He is different from us. He took the final exam separately. If he passed, he would be admitted to the next semester. He is not the same age as us."

Hearing this, Yu Xingmei nodded. They had to be busy with work and study at the same time, and it would be troublesome if a burden came.

"By the way, he wants to join our study group. Do you agree? I agree."

Yu Xingmei: "I have no problem with that. As long as they are not a burden, one more person is fine. Our team is too small, so it is not a big deal."

"Since you agree, let's go talk to him and explain some things to him."

Yu Xingmei nodded and followed Jin Jianxian to find Li Kailang.

Jin Jianxian and Li Kailang talked about some things to note, which is actually the time for the group to study together.

"Our group's study time is from 10 to 12 noon on weekends. We study in the nearest library so that we can find books easily if we don't understand something."

"Considering that everyone may have something to do on the weekend, you don't need to say hello in advance. You can come or not, and it's up to you whether you leave or not when the time comes."

Listening to Jin Jianxian's story, Li Kailang nodded to show that he understood.

Studying at 10 o'clock leaves enough time for a nap. The library is not far away and it only takes about ten minutes to ride there, so Li Kailang does not have to get up too early.

As for whether to come or not, Li Kailang likes it even more. This feeling of not forcing is quite good.

Li Kailang: "Okay, I understand."

In fact, in order to learn better, we usually study at someone’s home in the group.

However, both of them had their own secrets, so they chose to study in the library so that they wouldn't have to see each other's embarrassing moments.

Yu Xingmei was just about to chat with Li Kailang when Yan Wanbin came to class, so she had to sit back.

As usual, Yan Wanbin randomly checked Li Kailang's academic performance, allowing Yu Xingmei and other people who did not attend last week to have a preliminary understanding of Li Kailang.

"Not bad, not bad. You have made great progress." Yan Wanbin couldn't help but admire.

The questions he asked were all very difficult, but Li Kailang was able to answer them and he answered them well, which showed that Li Kailang was working hard.

If the situation continues like this, perhaps he will have to change his requirements for Li Kailang.

"There's still a lot of time left. Let's wait and see if this is just a temporary effort or he really has talent," Yan Wanbin thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he was a little confused. With such talent, how could Li Kailang only graduate from junior high school? Is there some unspeakable secret?

Yan Wanbin kept the matter to himself; the most important thing now was to attend class.

Time passed quickly and it was time to end the get out of class. Everyone packed up their books and went home.

Li Kailang, Jin Jianxian and Yu Xingmei walked back together.

Yu Xingmei suddenly asked, "By the way, Lao Jin, can you let me copy your notes? I wasn't here last week, so I don't know what Teacher Yan talked about."

"Okay." Jin Jianxian nodded and took out a notebook and gave it to her. "It contains what the teacher explained. Take some time to read it."

Yu Xingmei took it and said, "Thank you. I'll return it to you on Friday when I go to class."

Although attending night school has many advantages, it also has many disadvantages. Due to work, I cannot attend classes, but I cannot miss the courses.

I can only borrow notes from classmates and find time to catch up on the knowledge points.

Especially for this kind of night school with only two days a week, if you don’t make up for the knowledge points of one day, you will fall behind a lot and may fail the final examination.

Along the way, Yu Xingmei talked about gossip about certain people in the class, leaving Li Kailang and Jin Jianxian unable to interrupt and they just listened quietly.

Suddenly, Yu Xingmei talked about Qi Mengru, "Qi Mengru, I saw her walking with someone else yesterday, I wonder which class she was from?"

Hearing the name Qi Mengru, Li Kailang immediately turned to look at Yu Xingmei. Jin Jianxian had reminded him to beware of Qi Mengru before.

Jin Jianxian turned his head and looked at Li Kailang, then looked at Yu Xingmei, "You can talk to Comrade Li. Qi Mengru cares a lot about Student Li."

"Ah?" Yu Xingmei looked at Li Kailang in surprise. "I didn't expect that Qi Mengru actually cares about you. You should be careful of her and don't be fooled by her."

Li Kailang asked hurriedly: "What do you mean? Tell me in detail."

Yu Xingmei: "Looking at you, you probably don't know Qi Mengru's background, so let me tell you about it."

"Qi Mengru's job is a broadcaster. Logically, she should go to the literature department, but she chose the mechanical manufacturing department. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Also, I saw her walking with quite a few people. Which boy in the class hadn't sent her home? I saw her yesterday, and I don't know which class she was from."

Yu Xingmei talked a lot about Qi Mengru's abnormal behavior, which made Li Kailang frown and start to be wary of Qi Mengru.

The choice of major is fine, but being sent home is very important in an era where reputation is important.

Every time Qi Mengru went back home, someone would take her home, so she had to be on guard.

Yu Xingmei looked at Jin Jianxian: "Old Jin, what do you think Qi Mengru meant by doing this? Several boys in the class have a crush on her."

"Isn't she afraid of her bad reputation? Isn't she afraid that some guy might suddenly go crazy and do something to her?"

Jin Jianxian lowered his head and thought, "She dared to do this, she must have something to rely on, she must not be afraid of boys touching her."

"As for why she did this, I guess she wanted to hook up with a rich husband."

"A rich son-in-law? What does that mean?" Yu Xingmei tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

Jin Jianxian: "I have investigated Qi Mengru's family. She is now a single-parent family and lives with her mother."

Influenced by her mother's failed marriage, Qi Mengru found an honest man to marry, and the most honest men were those who worked in mechanics.

This kind of person is devoted to studying machines, and the probability of him or her cheating is relatively low, so you can marry him or her with peace of mind.

As long as you find a talented, compatible, and family-oriented man, you can live a peaceful life, if not a happy one.

Qi Mengru’s purpose is so simple, if she can come to the mechanical manufacturing department of night university, she must be pretty good.

After graduation, everyone's work and salary have changed dramatically. Supporting a family is no longer a problem, so she doesn't mind being a full-time housewife.

There is no deep hatred or purpose, this is just the thought of an ordinary person.

But it is not easy to find someone who meets the requirements.

Qi Mengru came to study mechanical engineering with the purpose of finding a rich husband.

As for whether she can graduate successfully, she has no plans for that, but that doesn't mean she will give up on herself, she still studies very hard.

Now it was Li Kailang's turn to be confused. "Since Qi Mengru's purpose is so simple and she only has such a little trick, why should I be on guard against her?"

Jin Jianxian glanced at Li Kailang and said, "It may take us three to five years or even seven years to graduate."

"She will definitely not marry you before you graduate. Even if you graduate successfully, she will still have to see your job."

"After so many years, can your family endure it? I see that you are not too old, and your family will urge you to get married in two years. Can you still persist?"

Li Kailang asked back: "Why can't you persist in this?"

"Well, if you want to think so, just pretend I didn't say anything." Jin Jianxian was unable to refute. If Li Kailang's parents didn't object, what could he say?

When Li Kailang heard people urging him to get married, he didn't care. Whoever urged him to get married, he would just have to wait a few years. It was not like he couldn't wait.

However, since Jin Jianxian said so, Li Kailang will naturally be wary of Qi Mengru, as he might meet a girl he likes one day.

Yu Xingmei said: "I didn't expect Qi Mengru just wanted to be a housewife. Is that unbelievable?"

Jin Jianxian said: "What's the big deal? Isn't it good to be a housewife? It's very easy. My brother goes to work, and I usually take care of the hygiene, and the children go to school."

"My husband can support the family by himself, why don't you be a housewife too?"

Yu Xingmei shook her head frantically: "No, I finally got into night school, I don't want it."

If you graduate and become an engineer, your salary will be at least 50 yuan, and you will have no problem supporting a family by yourself.

From now on, a family will not have to worry about many things when supporting one person, they just need to concentrate on work.

As they walked, they came to a fork in the road. "I won't go with you guys. I can go back by myself. You two should be careful on the road." Li Kailang said.

"You too, be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to the two, Li Kailang got on his bike, rode for a distance, and then turned and left without returning to the courtyard.

Instead, they turned to the black market.

"The black market is open now, so it's a good time to see what other goodies they have."

In the past, Li Kailang always went there at eleven or twelve o'clock at night, but now he just goes a little earlier. If he goes back to the yard and then comes out, it will arouse suspicion.

After a while, I arrived at the black market and met my old acquaintance, Lao Zhang.

"Old Zhang!"

"Comrade Lin, you are finally here. We haven't seen each other for almost two months." Old Zhang was very happy.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for almost 2 months." Li Kailang nodded. "By the way, how are you doing since our last transaction? Has anyone been arrested?"

Lao Zhang shook his head. "No one was arrested. We just lost a lot of food."

When Lao Zhang thinks about it now, he still feels scared. It would be terrible if he was discovered. He not only traded grain, but also arms. Fortunately, no one in the factory checked.

"That's good." Li Kailang continued chatting with Lao Zhang without mentioning the guns and ammunition at all.

After all, he has a lot of guns and ammunition, so he doesn't have this need for the time being.

Secondly, there are fewer dangers. Those bandits have no food to eat. If they don’t surrender quickly, they will starve to death.

Even if they did not starve to death, they were wiped out by the police and the army because of their repeated disturbances.

As for robbing the farmers' food, the farmers don't have much food to begin with. If they dare to rob, the farmers will fight them to the death.

As a result, the dangers Li Kailang encountered when leaving the city decreased exponentially. It was rare to encounter danger, so there was no need for it.

"Why hasn't Comrade Lin asked to buy yet? I'm really anxious."

Li Kailang was not in a hurry, but Lao Zhang was. The food that he had managed to get last time was already more than half gone and was almost finished.

If we don’t get some food, our family will have to cut back on food, and that feeling of not having enough to eat is not good.

At the corner not far behind the two men, the boss and his men were also anxious. They were in similar situations.

But if they speak first, they will be at a disadvantage, but they can't care about that now.

They had been waiting for Li Kailang for more than half a month. If they let him go, they wouldn't know when they would meet again.

"Ahem, Comrade Lin, what kind of guns and bullets do you want this time?"

Li Kailang waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I haven't fired a single round of the bullets I bought last time, so forget it this time."

Lao Zhang: "Don't forget it. It's rare for us to see each other, so it's good to buy some extra bullets as a backup."

Li Kailang noticed his abnormality and thought of the food he just mentioned, "Could it be that you are short of food?"

Lao Zhang nodded, not caring about being exposed. After all, the supply and demand relationship has changed and they have become people in urgent need.

"I wonder if you have any more food? We are planning to buy some more."

"Just like last time, we'll trade grain. Of course, I know the current price of grain, so I can negotiate even if it's a little more expensive."

Looking at Lao Zhang's pleading words, Li Kailang couldn't help but wonder what he was missing.

Although there are many types of weapons, including pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and mortars, there are only one or two of each type.

It is true that there are not enough of them. It would be nice to fill in the types first and then add the unused guns.

Wouldn't it be great to just set up an arms collection library and put it on par with the antique collection museum?
Since it was Lao Zhang who asked him for help, Li Kailang should speak boldly.

Looking at Lao Zhang, Li Kailang stretched out a hand and made a clenched gesture.

"I want all the guns you can sell!"

"Rifles, machine guns, bazookas, whatever I don't have, I want them all."

Hearing Li Kailang's arrogant words, Lao Zhang trembled with fear and stepped back repeatedly: "Why do you need so many weapons? What do you want to do?"

Li Kailang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, Lao Zhang. I'm not going to do anything bad. I'm just collecting guns."

Lao Zhang: "Collecting guns. Why do you collect so many guns?"

Li Kailang said as a matter of course: "Just put it there for your inspection. Otherwise, why would I need so many loot? Am I going to use them to kill people?"

Lao Zhang nodded, "It's not impossible. Why don't you get some bullets? Bullets are safer."

Li Kailang shook his head. "Lao Zhang, don't you think about how many times I have traded with you? Do I still need bullets? I don't think you understand the current situation."

"Now you are begging me, not me begging you. What use do I have for those bullets? Why don't you go back and talk to them?"

Lao Zhang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he went back to talk to the boss and a few others, and finally agreed to Li Kailang's conditions.

After all, they were the ones who needed his help, and Li Kailang really didn't do anything bad with the mortar.

The most important thing is that Li Kailang is the only one who can be exchanged for food now, there is no one else except him.

Moreover, the amount of food Li Kailang gave was large enough to satisfy their appetites at once."

Soon, the boss came to Li Kailang and said, "Comrade Lin, we agree to your request, but we want food."

Li Kailang nodded: "Okay."

"I wonder what you want?"

"You all know what guns I bought from you, right?"

The boss nodded and said that they had a record of what was sold and to whom.

Li Kailang said: "Okay, then I won't waste my words. I don't want any guns I have. I want the ones I don't have."

"Just like what I just said to Lao Zhang, rifles, machine guns, and even rocket launchers are all fine. As long as I don't have them, I'll take them. Food is not a problem."

Seeing the boss about to speak, Li Kailang interrupted and said, "Don't persuade me anymore. I just want these. If you can't give them to me, forget it."

The boss shut up immediately. Since Li Kailang had said so, there was no room for maneuver. This was troublesome.

But now they were begging Li Kailang, and he could refuse, but because there was no food at home, he had to agree.

Having taken the step of exchanging mortars for food, there was no resistance in my heart to reselling weapons again as at the beginning.

Boss: "Can you guarantee that these guns you want are not for doing bad things?"

"I promise." Li Kailang nodded heavily.

"Okay, I can give it to you, but the weapons are in small quantities and the food required is not light." said the old man.

Li Kailang: "No problem, I can accept any amount of food."

He paused again, and then continued, "But don't think of any crooked ideas, such as passing inferior goods as good ones, or using broken ones as substitutes."

The boss's eyes narrowed instantly. He didn't expect that Li Kailang could guess his thoughts.

After all, it is impossible for Li Kailang to believe everything he says when selling such a powerful weapon. The best way is to replace it with a broken one.

When Li Kailang said this, he also heard the boss's heart beating instantly.

I thought to myself, "It looks like this is the last business deal. I can't do business with them anymore. I've emptied my family's wealth."

The boss said: "Comrade Lin, please wait a moment while I go back and discuss this with everyone."

Li Kailang: "Please, but I hope you can bring out more weapons. Maybe after this deal, I won't exchange for food. After all, I also need to save some food."

"How much food you can ask for this time depends on how many weapons you can give. The next transaction may be for money."

"I understand." The boss' eyes narrowed again. He didn't expect that Li Kailang would cut off the source of the problem.

It seems that I have to take out the real stuff this time, otherwise there will be no more in the future. I might as well stock up some now. I have already bought the mortars, so this little bit doesn’t make any difference.

As for whether it will be discovered, we will talk about it later.

"Wait a moment." The boss pulled Lao Zhang and discussed with his companions what weapons could be sold.

Soon, they worked out a list and gave it to Li Kailang.

"Everything on this list is what we can get for you. Take a look."

Li Kailang took the list and looked at it. The guns listed were similar to what he had described to Lao Zhang.

What Li Kailang didn't mention was not written down. "Is there nothing else? Just these things on the paper."

Boss: "These are the last of our stock. We have no other weapons. If there are any others, I would like to get them to you."

Li Kailang nodded: "Okay then, I want all those on the list, and the accompanying bullets."

The boss nodded and said, "We can prepare weapons for you, but this is a lot of food. Can you afford it?"

"How much food?"

The eldest brother held up a finger, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "1 kilograms of food."

Li Kailang said directly: "Sure, where can I trade?"

"It's too little." The boss immediately regretted his decision. He originally wanted Li Kailang to give up.

However, Li Kailang actually dared to agree to it. I don’t know whether he really had so much food or wanted to steal it.

Lao Dadao: "With so many weapons, it's not easy to trade in the city. I think we should trade outside the city. It's safer outside the city."

"Outside the city? Sure." Li Kailang heard the boss's heartbeat. It seemed that they had some bad intentions, but it hit Li Kailang's heart.

Whatever you do, you are guaranteed.

Boss: "Okay, I think we should trade on Saturday night, and we can decide the specific location on Friday. Is that ok with you?"

"Okay." Li Kailang responded to all changes with the same attitude.

"So straightforward! It would be great if everyone could be as straightforward as Comrade Lin in doing business." The boss sighed and changed the subject.

"By the way, in order to see Comrade Lin's determination to get the gun, I wonder if you can pay a deposit in advance. Of course, I'm not blackmailing you."

"But if we want to transport so many weapons out of the city, we need to make connections and use food to pave the way. Don't you know?"

"Okay, let's do it at Shichahai. I'll prepay 200 kilograms of grain in advance." Li Kailang said.

The boss said: "Okay, with Comrade Lin's food paving the way, this batch of weapons will definitely be transported out of the city, don't worry."

"As a sign of good faith, I will bring rifles and some machine guns for the trade."

Li Kailang nodded, "That's troublesome."

After finishing the discussion, Li Kailang left and returned to the courtyard.

Lao Zhang said, "Boss, do you really want to buy the weapons from him? With so many weapons, it will be a disaster if they are found."

The boss frowned, thinking about something, and finally said: "I only have ideas, you just follow them."
