Chapter 1242 Friend, how do you want to solve it?

There are three ice rinks in old Yanjing, namely Beihai, Summer Palace and Shichahai. Among them, Shichahai is the most popular, becoming the most popular entertainment place for men and women in the city in winter.

During holidays, the flow of people here can reach tens of thousands, including workers, students, and literary young people, turning this place into a huge entertainment venue for love, making friends, relaxing outings, and exercising.

Young people wearing military coats, Lei Feng hats, and white sneakers and ice skates form a unique landscape.

Young people love to show off, care about appearances and make a scene, so during the winter holidays, this place is the favorite place for groups of hooligans and street urchins to hang out.

So when you come here, you will always see groups of young people gathering together, forming countless obvious special small groups.

One can tell at a glance whether this is a gangster, an alley urchin or a kid from a big courtyard.

As for the alley urchins, they would wear a second-hand military coat or cotton jacket bought from the pigeon market, cotton trousers or thick corduroy trousers, and plastic-soled cotton shoes or homemade ice skates before going on stage.

What about the children from the compound?

Of course there are military coats, but you can tell at a glance that they are genuine first-hand items passed down in the family. The materials are all brand new, and they are the inheritances that our parents were reluctant to wear.

If the material of the military uniform inside is officer's wool, and it is matched with a sheepskin hat and military leather boots, when this person stands on the ice rink, although he will be met with hostility from the hooligans and alley urchins, no one will dare to mess with him.

But we have to admit that there is an insurmountable gap between the two groups, the gangsters and the kids from the compound, and it is true that no one can stand the other.

So when Li Xiangnan came over and saw that Song Yi and Song Zimo were both wearing the unique attire of the children of the compound, and even Wang Defa had put on his most cherished military boots that he almost never wore out easily, he knew that this ice rink was definitely an occasion where one should respect the clothes first and the people later.

"southward!"

At the ice skate rental place, Lei Jin, Shi Sijun and Shui Dong, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw Li Xiangnan coming over and excitedly came over to say hello and handed over a string of candied haws.

"peach!"

Seeing that Jiang Qitao had been sitting on the sidelines eating sweet potatoes, Li Xiangnan smiled and handed it to Qiao Henwan.

Eating roasted sweet potatoes, candied haws, and drinking Arctic Ocean soda is almost a standard for skating. Li Xiangnan looked around and saw that almost all the young people coming and going had similar things in their hands, so he grinned and said, "How is it? It feels like catching up with the good times in Yanjing. We landlubbers can also experience the fun of Yanjing people!"

Shi Sijun smiled and said, "Don't mention it, it's quite interesting! I've been watching it for a long time and I'm itching to do it!"

"Haha, we landlubbers must not embarrass ourselves later!" Li Xiangnan smiled.

"Xiangnan, here! Get the shoes!"

Jian Jingzhe, Ding Yuqiu and others had arrived a long time ago and were renting shoes for everyone.

This rental stall charges a two-dollar deposit and fifty cents an hour. You can rent as many shoes as you want. If the shoes don’t fit, the technician will personally adjust them for you!

"You're all here!" Li Xiangnan led everyone over and saw Jian Jingzhe sitting aside changing his skates, Yang Weidong looking worried and bargaining with his master, and Ding Yuqiu counting the number of people. He smiled and said, "Weidong, what's wrong?"

"The old shoes at home are a bit blunt, so I asked the craftsman to sharpen them! They are too expensive. Instead of one dollar and fifty cents, I might as well spend five dollars more to buy a pair!" Yang Weidong sighed.

"Weidong, let's not skate today!" Ju Wanxia pulled at the corner of his clothes and shook her head.

"That won't work. You've never played this before. Let me show you how to play!"

The master said in a muffled voice, "Young man, I'm not lying to you. You need to replace your shoes with skates. Your skates are all bent! It takes time for me to sharpen them for you. Look at these two skates waiting for me to take care of them. You're buying my time! If you don't fix them, I'll fix the next one!"

"Weidong, stop repairing!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, "Yuqiu, rent two more pairs! For Weidong and his girlfriend!"

"Oh!" Ju Wanxia smiled shyly and shrank behind Yang Weidong.

"Thank you!" Yang Weidong stood up feeling a little embarrassed.

"You're so polite!" Li Xiangnan patted his arm and looked around. "Put on your shoes! Defa, what are we going to do next? I'll listen to you!"

Song Yi laughed and said, "You can only enter the venue wearing shoes, what else can you do!"

Everyone laughed for a while, put on their shoes, and walked towards the ice rink.

The men in this group were all handsome, which attracted many girls passing by to look at Li Xiangnan, Song Zimo and others.

But the woman was also extremely beautiful. The surrounding ruffians and alley urchins had been circling around them countless times. Even many young men from large courtyards stopped to look at Song Yijian, Jingzhe, Ding Yuqiu, Qiao Henwan, Jiang Qitao and others with interest.

The fire in those men's eyes had long betrayed their souls.

"Can you do it?"

Song Yi's words interrupted Li Xiangnan's thoughts, and then he felt his arm being grabbed by the other party.

"Not bad!" Li Xiangnan steadied himself and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate me!"

"Let's go in, let's go in!" Qiao Henwan greeted everyone with a smile after buying tickets at the front.

I bought a ticket for 1 cent per person at the simple bamboo gate to enter, and the view suddenly opened up.

The sun is hanging over the Yinding Bridge, and the Shichahai Ice Rink has become a pot of boiling porridge!

The ice surface was polished to a shine by countless pairs of ice skates. The teeth of the skates collided with the ice, making clear "crunching" sounds, like countless silver beads scattered on a jade plate, or like the ice surface was singing happily.

The military coats wrapped in the flames of youth shuttled across the ice like dancing flames.

Cotton monkeys flutter like white doves, drawing graceful arcs in the winter sky.

The ice sleds were crowded into a colorful array of beetles, red, blue and yellow, crawling on the ice. The children were waving iron picks, their little faces were red from the cold, but their laughter was like firecrackers, crackling across the entire lake and echoing over the Yinding Bridge.

The bustling crowds covered the entire winter ice surface, numbering more than ten thousand people.

Lei Jin, Shi Sijun, Shui Dong, and even Li Xiangnan were a little confused when they saw this scene for the first time.

This scene was indeed somewhat shocking.

Bang!

But at this moment, the people who had just entered the ice rink and had not yet started skating heard a crash.

Li Xiangnan turned his head and frowned immediately.

Shui Dong was seen lying on the ice with his arms and legs spread out. A guy from the alley was holding him down, and the two of them were rolling on the ice.

"Otter!" Wang De shouted coldly and slid over.

Something went wrong!

This thought immediately flashed into everyone's mind, and everyone moved instantly and gathered around.

Li Xiangnan didn't know how to skate, so he could only pull Song Zimo and push their skates against the ice to move forward. Just as he saw Wang Defa pulling Shui Dong up, he heard someone chattering.

"Fuck! Do you have eyes? Why are there so many people here? Are you trying to cause a fight?"

Just as Shui Dong was about to say sorry, someone grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "My brother was knocked down by you. Tell me, how do you solve this problem?"

The person who was speaking was a man with a fierce face and thick neck wearing a felt hat. While he was talking, his eyes were staring at Song Yi and the other female comrades with a wicked smile.

Li Xiangnan pushed through the crowd and stood in the middle. He looked at the gradually shrinking encirclement and counted them carefully. There were actually more than 10 to 20 people. He immediately had an idea in his mind.

He smiled coldly and asked, "Friend, how do you want to solve this?"
