Chapter 43: The Last Blood
The sun was hanging in the air, scorching the earth, the dew and frost on the grass disappeared, and the temperature above the wilderness began to become hot and dry. A motorcycle sped lonely, kicking up billowing smoke behind it.
Li Mei hugged Li Mu's waist and gently pressed her face against his back. Li Mu's breath gave her a long-lost sense of security, as if she had returned to her mother's side.
She is a very insecure person.
When I was young, I relied on my mother for my life, and my life was always upside down.
In the colony, a single mother has to raise a daughter, and the hardships, blood and tears have to pay are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Her mother, who often spent seven or eight days in a row, carrying only rudimentary weapons, would sneak into the ruins of the pre-war cities, collecting scrap metal, scrap copper, and all the valuable garbage that could be sold for money.
Li Mei spent her childhood in that cramped and embarrassing broken iron shed. For days, all she could see was the rusty ceiling and the monotonous furniture. Whenever she heard the sound of children frolicking outside, how much she wanted to go out and play with them. But she didn't dare, because her mother had told her that there were bad people out there.
After her mother remarried, her situation was even worse than before. The stepfather was an alcoholic and when he got drunk, he started beating her and her mother. At that time, she often had large bruises on her body. The children around her all thought of her as a monster. All the people laughed at her and rejected her.
After the birth of her younger brother, her mother finally couldn't stand the domestic violence day after day, and escaped from that house with her younger brother and her and returned to her grandmother's house.
At that time, my mother was like this, riding a motorcycle, taking her and her younger brother to gallop through the wilderness. She taught herself a lot, how to shoot a gun, how to track down prey in the wilderness. That time was her happiest day.
Happy days were short-lived, as her mother died of a recurrence of an old injury when she was twelve years old.
"Why are you crying?"
Li Mu felt the wetness on his back.
"It's okay"
Li Mei wiped the tears from her face embarrassedly.
"You should be happy, what are you crying about?" Li Mu squinted his eyes and greeted the cool breeze blowing in his face: "I didn't expect that Feng Leshan, a fat man, actually hid so much money." ”
Feng Leshan dug a basement of more than ten square meters underground, and a pile of yellow gold coins was piled up inside. There are also a variety of precious jewels and jade, filled several boxes.
When the flashlight went in, the reflected golden light almost blinded Li Mu's eyes. It was the first time he had seen more than 100,000 gold coins piled together. The weight of these gold coins was close to 1 ton, and Li Mu didn't even know how to transport them.
He had no choice but to return to the manor and find two large-capacity backpacks and a motorcycle. Thousands of gold coins were loaded, and then the entire manor was burned down, blowing up the underground passage. You can only wait for the right time to take them out later.
In order not to be too conspicuous, they made a great circle around the wilderness before entering the town from the other end.
The whole town was in a commotion, and almost everyone saw the light of the fire in the distance. The escaped slaves spread the news of Feng Leshan's death to everyone. Many people eagerly went to the burning manor, trying to dig through the fire to find something valuable.
Feng Leshan's casino in the town was also set on fire, and the thugs he hired mutinied and ransacked the casino as soon as they learned that the manor had been breached, and shared the huge gambling money inside. Almost all the gamblers who gambled all night on the first floor were killed by them.
Blood poured out of the casino, staining the streets red.
The employees of Fengchang Company and Longxing Company also reacted quickly. They made a quick decision and stopped fighting, but instead united and surrounded the thugs who grabbed the money and ran away.
The only casino in the town, with incredible profits, has been eyeing it for a long time. It's just that because of the identity of Feng Leshan's head snake and the backer of Xinlinfen, he has not made a move.
Now that Feng Leshan is already fierce and unlucky, they naturally show their fangs on this piece of fat.
The three gangs exchanged fire in the streets, the guns crackled, and the thugs were very desperate for the property they had stolen, and the battle was extremely fierce, and from time to time passers-by were knocked down by the whistling stray bullets.
Rivers of blood, screams, and curses filled almost the entire town, and chaos ensued.
Li Cheng climbed onto the windowsill of the hotel and sat on it, anxiously waiting for his brother's return. Her legs kept swaying, and she wanted to be the first to see her brother come back.
It's not high, but she still feels a wave of dizziness when she looks down from above.
She knew what her brother was doing. Before leaving, her brother told her that he would send her to school in a big city. Tuition fees in big cities are much more expensive than those in the countryside. She wasn't willing to let her brother take the risk for this. She would rather be a silly girl for the rest of her life, and she wants her brother to be safe.
After she said this, my brother just smiled and promised that he would come back safely. Li Xuan knew that he was just comforting himself, the bullet had no eyes, who could guarantee that he would be safe.
One of the thugs below had his calf cut off by a bullet and collapsed into the stinking ditch beneath the hotel, his blood staining the sewage red.
"Day! It hurts Lao Tzu to death! ”
His face was pale, and his strong will to survive made him endure severe pain, struggling in the mud at the bottom of the ditch, trying to hide from the pursuers behind him.
Several uniformed company employees chased after him and fired at him, beating him into a puddle of rotten meat. Ignoring the stench coming from the stinking ditch, they threw themselves into the ditch and rummaged through the gold coins on the corpses.
Li Xuan looked at the bloody scene in front of him and couldn't help but shudder. Looking at them, she seemed to see her brother being beaten to death so easily.
"Xuanxuan, come down quickly!"
Yang Xiaoye hid under the table, she was frightened by the gunfire outside, and her whole body trembled violently.
"This thin layer of iron can't stop bullets."
Li Xuan's voice was very calm, she had already made up her mind that if something happened to her brother, she would jump from here.
At this moment, Li Mu rode a motorcycle from the street and drove over. The red-eyed souggers were still ready to shoot him, but Li Mei was easily knocked down.
With a sudden brake, Li Mu parked the motorcycle at the door of the hotel.
"Li Xuan! What are you doing! Sit on the windowsill! Come down! ”
He saw Li Xuan hanging half of his body in the air, he had always been very calm, and his heart was beating half a beat.
Li Xuan was startled by his roar, trembled, and fell off the windowsill.
