In the southeast corner of Yong'an Forest Farm's first canteen, Li Ruhai stood on a stool, making him a head taller than the surrounding workers.
Li Ruhai beamed and cupped his fists to the crowd, but the workers were at the most crucial part of the story. There was no way they were letting him leave.
The story was about how the eldest son of Master Zhang from the second canteen had been stealing corn when he was shot at by the eldest son of Li Dayong, the deputy head of the dispatch team.
So why was the next part titled, "Han Baoyu Loses an Arm"?
And besides, after the shot rang out, was that fellow Zhang Laibao dead or alive?
With so many questions left unanswered, how could the forty or fifty workers possibly let Li Ruhai go? The crowd blocked his way, insisting he had to finish the story before he could leave.
