Chapter 8: The Initiators
It's a pity that no matter how Jiang Xiaobai asked, Xu Jimin didn't give an answer.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that Xu Jimin really didn't know, but Xu Jimin still gave a clue: "When your Uncle Lan came to me, it was Adong who came over, you know, Adong is in the same team as your Uncle Lan in the mine, if anyone knows, he is the only one." ”
Adong.
Maybe you know the truth of the matter.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that the next step was to ask Adong about the situation.
"My Uncle Lan's injury is okay, right?"
"It's okay, but some skin trauma is always inevitable."
"Thank you."
Jiang Xiaobai turned around and walked out into the night, paused, and added: "My Uncle Lan didn't pay for the medical treatment this time, and some of the medical expenses he owed to you one after another in the past few years, there should be two or three hundred copper coins, this wolf thigh is taken to compensate, if it is not enough......"
"More on that later."
In Xu Jimin's bewilderment.
In the dark night, a wolf's thigh roared through the air and smashed on the ground in front of him, Xu Jimin's eyes lit up instantly......
……
Leaving from Xu Jimin, Jiang Xiaobai walked directly towards Adong's residence.
No. 7 Gathering Area.
It is divided into earth and stone housing areas and shanty housing areas.
There are only one or twenty households in the earth and stone housing area, and they are all the best mixed people in the community, such as Jiang Xiaobai, Uncle Lan, and hunter Zhang Hu, all of whom live here.
The shantytown is home to more than 95% of the people living in the entire No. 7 settlement.
Adong's house is located in a remote corner to the southeast of the shantytown.
At this point, it was about four or five o'clock in the morning, when Jiang Xiaobai came to Adong's house, he startled Adong, who was sleeping on the bedboard, a big start!
"Xiaobai, why are you here?"
Ah Dong is a man in his early thirties, alone and very thin.
In fact, most of the people in the market area are like this, eating and drinking every day is a problem, there is no nutrition, and they are like bamboo poles.
"I'll ask Uncle Lan about it."
Jiang Xiaobai pulled out the only bench in the shanty and sat down calmly.
Ah Dong's face suddenly changed slightly.
"That's right, this wolf's leg is yours."
Jiang Xiaobai threw one of the remaining two wolf thighs into the iron pot in front of him, and Ah Dong was still a little sleepy, and suddenly disappeared completely.
He leaned lightly, came to the iron pot, and reached out to touch the big wolf's leg.
Jiang Xiaobai threw the big bone knife and landed on the edge of the iron pot.
"Yes, it's yours."
Ah Dong has been working in a mine with Uncle Lan all these years, and he is still a team, often taking care of Uncle Lan who is inconvenient, and this time he helped Uncle Lan back.
Jiang Xiaobai.
Not the kind of person who doesn't understand kindness.
Adong suddenly said cautiously: "Xiaobai, is it really mine?" This is a wolf's thigh, which can be sold for three or four hundred copper coins. ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Yes, it's yours when you say it, it's all there." ”
Adong suddenly took a deep breath.
Even if Jiang Xiaobai didn't give him a wolf leg, he would tell Jiang Xiaobai truthfully, he knew why Jiang Xiaobai did this.
Whew!
Towards the bonfire in the shantyhouse, a few new firewoods were added to make the fire burn more vigorously, and Ah Dong sat on the ground next to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai, this time your Uncle Lan was beaten, all because of one person."
"His name is Li Weiqiang."
In front of Jiang Xiaobai, Ah Dong began to narrate.
He said a lot, but his voice was not loud, and he could hear the jealousy and fear in Ah Dong's heart when he talked about this Li Weiqiang.
Li Weiqiang.
The big man in the No. 6 market area next door.
At first, he was a ruthless character in the No. 6 market area, a ruffian hooligan, and later his brother was even more unscrupulous when he was qualified to enter the settlement.
In the No. 6 marketplace, he is simply an existence like an earth emperor.
After his brother entered the settlement, he spent money to set up the city guard team in the No. 6 market area, and the city guard team also turned a blind eye to him.
Li Weiqiang, more than 20 people under his hands.
They are the number one force in the mining field dominated by people in the No. 6 Concentration Area, bullying the miners in the past few years, and changing careers to collect protection money in the next few years.
Jiang Xiaobai had actually heard of Li Weiqiang before, but he didn't know much about him, and this time, as Adong narrated it one by one, he knew everything in his heart.
Li Weiqiang and his group collected protection money in the mine, and Uncle Lan became one of the key targets.
But in the past two months, Uncle Lan has not handed in in time, and Li Weiqiang and the others immediately quit.
"Actually, we all know that those guys are also making an example of the monkeys, because in the mine, there have been people who have recently joined forces and rebelled against them more and more loudly."
"And your Uncle Lan, who is disabled and has no small group, plus the arrears of protection fees at this time, naturally became the target of targeting."
"That is, yesterday, after the mine was laid off, as soon as your Uncle Lan left the factory, he was surrounded by Li Weiqiang and his group, and they beat around your Uncle Lan in front of many miners, shouting while fighting, and not paying protection fees, this is the end!"
"If you don't pay it in the future, you will still fight!"
Jiang Xiaobai's clenched fist collapsed.
His eyes were also full of cold color.
Uncle Lan.
Even if he went to the mine after breaking his arm, he honestly wanted to keep to himself, but some people didn't allow it, and beat him like this.
"If it weren't for your Uncle Lan's hunting years and his good health, if it were us, I would be afraid that half of his life would be gone......"
Ah Dong sighed.
Jiang Xiaobai took a few deep breaths and slowly stood up.
Syllable!
It was at this moment that a piece of firewood in the bonfire burst and exploded, and sparks splashed everywhere, illuminating Jiang Xiaobai's face.
Cloudy and sunny.
Swaying with the light.
"Li Weiqiang, I also collected your protection money, right?"
"Yes."
"In our Jimin area, who did you get along with Uncle Lan?"
"Xiaofei, Lin Zi, several of them have received it."
"Hmm."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and walked away without looking back.
Vaguely, his words came from the dark night in the distance: "From tomorrow, Li Weiqiang will not charge you any more protection money." ”
Adong, stunned.
Immediately, an inexplicable power seemed to be injected into his body, as if he could fight against evil.
But in the end, his body trembled, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, let Li Weiqiang give in, how is this possible...... Xiaobai, don't do anything stupid, he still has a powerful brother......"
Ah Dong followed out of the shanty.
But at this time, where is there still a shadow of Jiang Xiaobai.
In the dark.
Jiang Xiaobai walked back towards his residence.
His mind was filled with plans and ideas.
In this world, there are not many good people.
There are many wicked people.
Li Weiqiang bullied the homeless people, forcibly collected protection money, and ran rampant, basically a cancer and vampire in the group in the community area.
It's just a troubled time, how about others, Jiang Xiaobai is distracted and lacks skills, and it is difficult to care about these.
But since it was an injury, it was the initiator of dealing with Uncle Lan.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't ignore it.
"Even if you have twenty or so people."
"Even if you have your brother."
"Even if you buy off your city guard squad."
"But, Li Weiqiang, I've already set my sights on you."
"You wait for me!"
In the dark night, Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fists, and his eyes were burning and shining, as if he wanted to pierce the long dark night in the sky before the dawn!
