Chapter 362: Powder Keg
After Li Tianchou and Zhu Lei came out, it took another full hour before Dr. Wang called the others in. Everyone sat on the ground and no one left the courtyard for the whole night. When the fish belly turned white in the east the next morning, Xiao Song's cry woke up the gangsters, and Li Tianchou's head stabbed violently, realizing that Uncle Geng was gone.
The funeral was solemn and simple, and most of the people from the small village came to attend. Uncle Geng and his deceased wife were buried together on the slope of the former mountain pass, or the cement platform, and the stonemason was asked to re-erect the tombstone. Although the characters in the rivers and lakes are not too particular, Xiao Song's mental state is very bad, Li Tianchou decided to stay with her for two days, and he can't take care of other things for the time being.
Because he was worried about Fushan, Zhu Lei led everyone to return first, leaving only broad beans to help and deliver the news. Li Tianchou accompanied Xiao Song to the platform on time every morning, sat quietly, and occasionally chatted with two inconsequential words, but more time was silent. Broad beans come to deliver food at noon every day, and every time they want to talk, they stop talking, but they never stay longer, and the longest will not exceed 10 seeds. He didn't want to disturb Li Tianchou and the others, and he didn't want to make himself sad, not only Uncle Geng and his wife were sleeping on this platform, but also Ah Wei and the other two good brothers.
For three whole days, Xiao Song's mood gradually improved. But what made Li Tianchou strange was that since Zhu Lei and the others left, he had never received any other news except to report safety. This is very abnormal, something may be wrong with Fushan, maybe Zhu Lei doesn't say something, maybe the broad bean hides it and doesn't report it.
At noon on the fourth day, without waiting for Li Tianchou to ask, Broad Bean spoke first, "Something happened over there in Fushan, Xiao Huo is lying in the hospital." ”
Li Tianchou was secretly surprised, the other party and Zhu Lei were kind, he could understand, but in the end, the broad bean himself couldn't hold back, which means that the matter is definitely not small, and it is urgent. There may even be some words left unfinished. Although it seems a little unkind to ask Xiao Song to leave here and return to Fushan at the moment, I am afraid that the matter will not be delayed at all.
"Let's go back right away. Xiao Song immediately stood up when he heard this, and reacted surprisingly calmly, "I have been with them here for a few days, and my heart is much more steady, and I can't delay Yuxing's affairs." ”
Xiao Song's attitude was not out of his intention or not, but he took the overall situation into account, which made Li Tianchou feel warm in his heart, so he was no longer verbose. The three of them bid farewell to Uncle Geng and his wife, and went down the mountain to bid farewell to Uncle Cai and Uncle Fan.
Uncle Cai and Uncle Fan have been sending Li Tianchou and the three of them outside the mountain pass, and when they were leaving, Uncle Cai took out a metal pendant from his arms and handed it to Li Tianchou, "This is your uncle's relic, ask me to transfer it to you, put it away." ”
This is a handmade brass pendant, and many places have a faint green rust. The pattern is peculiar, with a ring connected to an equilateral triangle, like a sign. The most special is the triangle, which is made of three slender warheads welded, and it is very difficult to connect them end to end. It was the first time Li Tianchou had seen such a warhead, and he had been a soldier for several years, so he couldn't imagine what kind of weapon would launch this kind of bullet. Perhaps it was made from molds, purely for decorative crafts, rather than real warheads.
The pendant was heavy in his hand, Li Tianchou prudently put it away, and waved goodbye to Uncle Cai and the others. The mind was thinking about the other party's words just now, this small object must be very precious, or have a special meaning, but I have never heard Uncle Geng mention it.
On the way, Broad Bean told Li Tianchou in detail what happened in Fushan. On the night of their departure, the bar and the Internet café were attacked and vandalized by unknown persons at the same time. The loss of the Internet café was not large, and no one was injured, because Wu Fang arrived in time. But the bar was miserable, all the internal facilities were smashed, and many people were injured, Xiao Huo was the most seriously injured, and he was currently lying in the hospital and was likely to become a vegetative person.
But the above situation is not too bad, the fatal is behind. After everyone went back, Zhang Wen and Qi Baozhu went crazy when they heard the news, Zhu Lei couldn't stop it at all, and the two smashed Wang Fan's four fields in one night. And Peng Weihua quietly set fire to Xue Monkey's car wash. In order to prevent the other party from retaliating, the only three stores in Yuxing were all closed, and everyone lost their minds due to anger, which also made the rivers and lakes of Fushan about to rain.
"Nonsense! This is a big deal, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The blue tendons on Li Tianchou's forehead burst out, and he couldn't help the anger in his heart. Fava Bean was speechless, but he seemed to have something to say, which made him realize that there could be a worse outcome. His face was pale, and he stared at the other party with a compelling gaze, "If there is anything else, say it all together." ”
Broad Bean raised his eyebrows, "Also, Lao You tied up Feng Biao's family, and now they can't be contacted, and it's not clear whether Feng Biao himself is dead or alive." ”
Li Tianchou gasped, this time it was a big disaster. Everyone is cautious in Fushan to make a living, walking on thin ice, and just gaining a foothold, but also too aggressive, otherwise they may bring trouble to themselves, or even ruin, Liu Qiang's warning is not child's play.
This responsibility is not on everyone, it is entirely because of his own negligence and misjudgment, he didn't expect that Uncle Geng's death would stimulate everyone so much, just like a dry powder keg that will explode violently at any time. Whether Wang Fan and the others were blind or carefully calculated, they chose to provoke and sabotage at this time, undoubtedly acting as that faint spark.
The matter between Zhang Wen and Qi Baozhu is not too big, ordinary fights and brawls, as long as they don't cause death, they are easy to solve. But Peng Weihua and You Shilong's problems are serious, especially Lao You, even if the bottom line is broken by tying Feng Biao's family, even the rules of the rivers and lakes are ignored, this is really the rhythm of death.
The trend of things going on is obvious, and it really responds to Fuerde's words, and he goes back to the old path of fighting and killing. After going through so much, Li Tianchou knows very well that once he falls into the grievances on the road, he will be unable to extricate himself, unless you destroy all your opponents. The thought popped into his mind, and he was a little incredulous. But I have to admit that the problem in front of me is really no choice, unless Yuxing is evacuated from Fushan as a whole, but where can it go?
Thinking of this, Li Tianchou's breathing suddenly became a little short, and his palms were covered with cold sweat. The relationship between life and death was so simple, and after working hard for so long, I still couldn't get around, and I was finally forced to do this...... Let it come.
Li Tianchou gradually calmed down and began to think about the matter in front of him, the top priority was to find You Shilong, and to find out Feng Biao's life and death as soon as possible. In addition, Liu Qiang's side also has to explore the truth and reality, no matter what the other party's reaction is, at least he can know it before he lets it go.
"Where do you live now?
"I still live in a small courtyard, and Lao Zhu said that I would wait for you to go back and hide Qi Baozhu and them first. ”
"I'm grass. Li Tianchou shook his head and didn't know what to say, I'm afraid Zhu Lei was also forced to run out of tricks, this posture is ready to break the kettle at any time.
The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to investigate anything, Li Tianchou thought about the thought that suddenly popped up just now without saying a word. Xiao Song on the side obviously felt uneasy, she knew the other party, and suddenly became silent in the face of such a big event, it must be the surface calm before the storm.
The car had already left the mountainous area, Li Tianchou took out his mobile phone, and unexpectedly dialed the first call to Wu Fang.
"Oh my grass, you can be considered to have come out, do you know that the sky is turning up outside?" Wu Fang's loud voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"Just knew. I won't say thank you, I want to ask Yuan Hua for a favor. ”
"Hehe, your kid has been missing for a few days and has changed sex? Say, what's the matter?" Wu Fang was as cheerful as ever, and he couldn't hear the anxiety and boredom of the so-called "turning the sky upside down" from his tone. Of course, these things had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Mask, do you remember?" asked Li Tianchou lightly.
"Of course, the odd one. ”
"Help me find him. ”
"I'm grass, your own brother asked me to help you find it?" Wu Fang was not surprised, he was very clear about what had happened in Yuxing in the past two days, and after trying to contact Li Tianchou in vain, he wanted to help secretly, but the movement was too big, so he had to wait and see. Now he teased the other party just to find out what this guy was doing when he disappeared for a few days, but Li Tianchou, who was listening to the microphone, suddenly lost his voice, and he quickly changed his words, "OK! ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Tianchou returned to silence, and didn't even contact Zhu Lei, so he returned to the small courtyard behind the restaurant.
Zhu Lei's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was also very depressed, obviously he stayed up late and didn't sleep well, but when he saw Li Tianchou, he barely lifted his spirits. "Boss, everything is known. ”
Li Tianchou nodded, did not stay in the courtyard, and commanded softly, "Come to my room and talk." He went straight upstairs.
