Chapter 37: Courage
I only heard someone shouting: "Bite your mother, don't talk nonsense!" The intellectuals were stunned and a little at a loss when they saw a group of masked men in tattered clothes rushing out of the woods, all holding earthen guns in their hands.
Among the intellectuals, there is a simple man with short hair who is actually a soldier, surnamed Xu, the identity is the security guard of this group of intellectuals, carrying a submachine gun behind his back, he saw that this group of people were holding earthen guns, looking very dangerous, and immediately wanted to take the gun to fight back, suddenly there was a muffled sound, a masked man shot him in the chest, he fell to the ground with a thud, his chest was full of blood, and an intellectual next to him looked down at him, he had died of exhaustion.
The group of intellectuals was in a mess, the two girls screamed in shock, and the rest were surprised, angry, and panicked.
A masked man stood up, exuding a fierce and vicious aura all over his body, he was the boss of Li Qi's group of villagers. The boss looked fierce and shouted viciously: "Stand up for me!" No one is allowed to move! He raised his gun, fired two toms into the air, and said, "It's all mine now!" ”
The old man's pale hair on his forehead was messy with the wind, and he said angrily, "Who are you?!" What to do? ”
The boss sneered and said, "Hmph! Lao Tzu is a farmer, he farms during the day and kills people and sets fires at night! Rich people who specialize in robbing passers-by! I also often dig graves and rob graves, this time I saw you passing by, we followed you for two days, and we are going to get the treasure here! ”
The old man's face turned pale, and he said, "You have no king's law! It's lawless! Do you know who we are? ”
A short and fat masked man scolded: "You old dead ghost, I don't care who you are!" ”
The old man used all his strength, trembling all over, and said righteously: "We are the archaeological team of the Southeast Provincial Cultural Bureau, I am the captain Wu Honghai, and we are working for the country!" You have killed people, destroyed monuments, and resold cultural relics, which is a great sin! If you dare to do evil, you will be shot! ”
The peasant bandit boss looked up to the sky and laughed: "Kill and kill, what can you do?" ”
Wu Honghai looked at the corpse of Guard Xu and said bitterly: "In broad daylight, you dare to kill people and commit murder, such a barbaric act, aren't you afraid of national law?!" As an archaeologist, Wu Honghai is very knowledgeable, but he is too pedantic to understand the critical situation at this time, and said: "You should quickly put down your guns and admit your mistakes to the country and the people, otherwise you will make mistakes again and again, be punished by the laws of the country, and be hated by the people." ”
The peasant bandit boss snorted and said, "Let's bow to the law?" We don't kill people less, all of us have to eat guns, what kind of infamy through the ages, just be happy in front of us! Hold his mother! Who cares if Lao Tzu lives or dies? Lao Tzu fought as a soldier when he was young, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the comrades of the entire platoon died, Lao Tzu survived after a few shots, but the developed ones were all little white faces hiding in the staff headquarters, and his mother's success and fame, who cares whether we are the little soldiers who work the battlefield live or die? When I came back from the war, the state gave me a little money to send a wounded soldier like Lao Tzu, how could it be enough for Lao Tzu to live? In this world, there are many disasters and famines, either drought or flooding, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, the people in the village are going to starve to death, die, flee, and they can't live anymore, Lao Tzu thinks that it is better to go up the mountain to be a bandit and live happily, today Lao Tzu is going to dig the gold of this ancient tomb! ”
Wu Honghai said angrily: "If you want to get rich, you shouldn't steal the cultural relics in the ancient tomb!" Ancient cultural relics belong to our country, and tomb robbery is a serious crime! ”
A tall, thin masked villager screamed, "Dead old ghost, what did you say? Who decreed that the gold under the earth was yours? The things left by the dead ghosts, whoever grabs them is whoever, Lao Tzu robs the tomb, what is the difference between you and Lao Tzu? Aren't you just robbing tombs in the name of the country? Shame on your mother! Roll aside for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will take the treasure buried in the ground! With that, he raised his gun and strode towards the hole.
Wu Honghai saw that the peasant bandit wanted to enter the black hole, opened his arms to stop it, and shouted: "Every cultural relic here belongs to the state, and you can't let any of them move!" ”
The tall and thin villager rushed over as if he was crazy when he saw Wu Honghai, and scolded angrily: "Dead old ghost! Dare to stop Lao Tzu, bite you! Raising the butt of the gun and smashing it viciously on Wu Hongxin's face, Wu Honghai stumbled, took a few steps back, and sat on the ground with an ordinary sound, covering his face with his hands, blood was left between his fingers, and the worn-out thick glasses had been smashed and flew to the side, the lenses were broken, and they were still stained with blood.
Seeing that the old captain was knocked to the ground, the archaeological team members immediately surrounded him, Li Wanfa and the red-faced scholar anxiously helped Wu Honghai up, only to see that Wu Honghai's forehead was opened a big hole, blood flowed, the bridge of his nose was broken, and his face was covered with blood. Wu Honghai is very old, his physical fitness is already not good, and he has been working for many days in a row, and he is already very tired, and he has been hit on the head again, and his body is already very weak. Wu Honghai kept trembling, and wanted to struggle to stop the peasant bandit, and said intermittently: "...... Strong...... Bandit! Bad...... Murderer! I won't...... I won't let you steal a single artifact! ”
The tall and thin villager looked fierce, and said viciously: "If you bite your mother, you dare to be hard-mouthed, Lao Tzu will kill you first!" After speaking, he raised his gun and shouted: "Get out of the way, or Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”
When the archaeological team members saw that these peasant bandits were killing people without blinking, and they were about to start killing, and they would shoot themselves at any time to lose their lives, they were all very frightened, and they instinctively retreated.
Li Wanfa did not retreat, stood in front of Wu Honghai, and protected Wu Honghai with his body.
Several villagers aimed at Li Wanfa, and the tall and thin villager snorted and scolded angrily: "Dead ghost, get out of here, Lao Tzu will kill you first!" Li Wanfa's expression was serious, facing the muzzle of the black hole, his face did not change, and anyone could see that he wanted to protect Wu Honghai and even sacrifice his own life.
Seeing that Li Wanfa was blocking in front of Wu Honghai, the tall and thin villager had no fear and did not dodge, and said angrily: "Your mother's! Don't be afraid of death, okay, Lao Tzu will abolish you first! ”
Seeing that Li Wanfa stepped forward at the moment of crisis, the red-faced scholar was not afraid of sacrifice to save Captain Wu, and he also stood up and stood next to Li Wanfa to protect Wu Honghai. The red-faced scholar originally looked down on Li Wanfa, who participated in the work of the archaeological team halfway (Wu Honghai brought Li Wanfa to the archaeological team, Li Wanfa did not have any qualification certificates, and Wu Honghai was exceptionally admitted). Because Li Wanfa is very capable, the red-faced scholar is a little jealous and unconvinced, so he has been targeting Li Wanfa for many years. However, although he hated Li Wanfa, he did not hate to the point of being a class enemy, and at this moment, seeing Li Wanfa's righteous act of saving his comrades and risking his life to save Wu Honghai, he was shocked and stood up. The other members of the archaeological team were very nervous when they saw that Li Wanfa and the red-faced scholar were dying, and the fat man who had just made things difficult for Li Wanfa in front of Wu Honghai with the red-faced scholar had already hid behind the others and peeked at the development of the situation.
