In the following days, Li Nan purchased a large number of weapons from Hong Kong foreigners to support the ships in the two ports as a back road, and used his spare time every day to practice Wing Chun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the plot, the northern boxer Jin Shan came to Foshan to challenge, planning to open a martial arts gym after becoming famous, but he was ultimately defeated by Ip Man, and Li Nan took the opportunity to hire Jin Shan back and gave them an errand as a bodyguard for the hospital.
Time gradually passed, Guangzhou underwent great changes, originally the person in charge of Guangzhou was the warlord surnamed Chen who was called the "King of the Southern Heavens", after this person came to power, Guangzhou's economic and cultural level has been improved, but after the Liangguang incident, the warlord surnamed Chen was forced to leave, and the warlords who had long been greedy for the wealth here were stationed in Guangzhou and began to plunder.
These warlords who came to make money were still afraid of the local wealthy families, but they began to use various means to loot some wealthy businessmen with unstable foundations, and the most common one was the crime of gangsters.
Late that night, Li Zhao, the police captain who had always had a good relationship with Li Nan, suddenly sent a letter that the new governor of Guangzhou was ready to take action against the Liang family.
After reading the letter, Li Nan called Jinshan to find it, and handed him a roll of fiat currency, "Brother Jin, our Liang family has been targeted by officials, and if we don't leave, we will suffer, now we plan to go away, I have prepared some money for you, you can take your brothers home." ”
Hearing Li Nan's words, Jin Shan scolded angrily, "He's a, the Northeast was ruined by these officials, and now he has encountered such a thing in Guangzhou." Brother Liang, our brothers are all rough people, there is nothing to say, we will go with you wherever you go. ”
Jin Shan Xun and his brothers also have good combat effectiveness, and it is not a hindrance to bring them, Li Nan dismissed all the servants in the family, and took Sun Xiuxiu, Bai Ying, Jin Shan Xun and others to Shangchuan Island on two ships carrying supplies.
Unexpectedly, the army surrounding the Liang family came very quickly, Li Nan and the others had not yet arrived in Shunde, and found that the road ahead was full of government soldiers, and the number of enemies was too large, Li Nan decided to give up taking the boat and turn to Yunwu Mountain in the west.
After walking all night, after dawn, they finally got rid of the pursuit of the soldiers, and everyone sat on the ground to rest.
Sun Xiuxiu handed the kettle to Li Nan, "What now, our original plan to take a boat to Hong Kong has failed, and we can't get anything on the ship." ”
"I didn't expect the government army to attack so quickly, now there should be orders for us to be wanted in all cities, and we need a place to hide."
Just as Li Nan was thinking about where to escape the persecution of the warlords, a group of more than 20 people wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying shell guns surrounded everyone.
The leader of this gang of bandits was dressed in black satin, and his small eyes were staring at Sun Xiuxiu and Bai Ying beside Li Nan, with an evil smile on his face.
"You don't take so many big roads, you actually came to my Yunwu Mountain, it's really cheap for me Cai Haiqing, brothers, go and kill all the men, and carry the women back to the mountain."
Since it was the bandits, Li Nan, Sun Xiuxiu and Bai Ying all smiled, and after cleaning, the bandits' den was also a good place to stay.
As soon as the three or four bandits approached Sun Xiuxiu and Bai Ying, they were knocked to the ground by the Wing Chun boxing of the two, and the two bandits who went towards Li Nan were even more unlucky, and they were directly kicked out two meters away.
Seeing that Li Nan made a move, Jin Shan took out the thick-backed knife he carried with him, and cut off two heads with one sword, these bandits who only relied on guns to be powerful, and before they even pulled out their guns, they were killed and injured by people with superb martial arts.
Jin Shan put a thick-backed knife on the neck of the bandit leader Cai Haiqing and brought him to Li Nan's side, Li Nan asked, "You said that this Cloud Mountain is your territory, right?" ”
At this moment, the knife was on his neck, and Cai Haiqing replied smartly: "Yes... No, it's your territory. ”
"Let's go, take us to your cottage."
This Yunwu Mountain is not very high, but fortunately, the woods are lush, Cai Haiqing's cottage is built on the flat land on the top of the mountain, the wall of the village is made of wood cut on the spot and some rocks, and there is not even a patrol and sentry.
Jin Shan looked for more than a dozen bandits including Cai Haiqing and walked into the cottage, the bandits who stayed behind heard the leader's shouts and walked out of the wooden house with sleepy eyes, and saw that the boss was arrested, and some die-hard bandits still wanted to resist, but they were all killed by Sun Xiuxiu's double guns, and then all the bandits squatted on the ground honestly.
Li Nan and the others inspected each wooden house, and released all the women who were caught by the bandits and sent them to the cottage as wives, and there were four or five elderly people in one room, who turned out to be rich families in the village under the mountain, and were caught by the bandits and ready to ask for ransom.
Seeing that all the bandits were subdued, these captured women, as well as the few old people who were kidnapped, grabbed the things around them and smashed them, crying, Li Nan and others also heard some tragic things, these bandits not only robbed people, kidnapped tickets, killed people, but also liked to abuse and kill children and women.
The old people who were kidnapped also sent a finger to their homes according to the rules, and if they didn't take the money to ransom them when they expired, they would cut off another one, and one of the old people's left hand had been cut off.
Sun Xiuxiu and Bai Ying glanced at Li Nan, and after seeing Li Nan nodding slightly, they pulled out the dagger they carried and threw it to these women.
"You can do whatever you want now, and they won't resist."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with the most beautiful appearance picked up a dagger on the ground, came to the bandit who was restrained by Jin Shan and others, held back her tears and stabbed at the bandit, and after stabbing to death five or six times in a row, she took a few steps back and cried bitterly.
Someone started, and then all the women began to scramble for daggers and kill the bandits one by one, the worst was Cai Haiqing, he was surrounded by all the women, stabbed all over the body, and after dozens of minutes, there was a young boy left in the pile of corpses kneeling in the middle of the stockade.
Li Nan came to him and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
The boy said: "I haven't done anything bad, I was forcibly taken up the mountain by them, and I am usually only responsible for carrying things and delivering messages." ”
Li Nan motioned to Jin Shan to find the rope that bound him, "In that case, I'll let you go, you tell me about the situation nearby." ”
After listening to the young man's introduction, Li Nan roughly understood the situation of bandits in Guangdong.
After the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were 300,000 bandits near Guangdong, and later after the conquest of the Southern Heavenly King, many bandits were killed by the army, but after the change of the Guangzhou government, the bandits in many places revived, and at the same time, a large number of warlords in the melee also went to various places to cause trouble, and now the ordinary people began to be threatened by bandits.
After killing all the bandits, first the old people who were kidnapped went home, and then Li Nan opened the warehouse, put the jewelry and coins stolen by the bandits on the ground, and let the kidnapped women take them home, but surprisingly, all the women cried.
The youngest beautiful girl walked up to Li Nan and said, "We have no home, every time these bandits attack the village, they kill all the people, our parents, husbands and children, we have nowhere to go. ”
Anyway, it wasn't bad for these people to eat and drink, so Li Nan let them stay in the village, and they could usually help everyone with laundry and cooking, and everyone lived on Yunwu Mountain.
Day by day, when everyone is fine, they practice martial arts in the mountains, lack of food and drink, let the remaining young bandits lead the way, looking for other bandit dens, in the southwest of Guangzhou for several months, this group of heroic legends specializing in robbing bandits.
Usually when Li Nan and others practice martial arts in the village, the young girl and the teenager will hide in the distance and peek, Li Nan simply called them all over and taught them the martial arts they have learned, these girls have experienced tragic things, more tenacity and ruthlessness than ordinary people, every time they attack other bandit cottages, they will never leave their hands on the bandits, and there are more and more women and children who have been rescued.
In the past few months, everyone has lived together, and Sun Xiuxiu found that the relationship between Li Nan and Bai Ying is not husband and wife, and the two have to sleep in separate rooms at night, which makes Sun Xiuxiu, who is a little tempted by Li Nan, have other thoughts.
The moonlight was just right that night, Sun Xiuxiu cooked a few good dishes and brought a pot of wine to Li Nan's room.
"Anan, it's a good night tonight, I fried a few dishes, let's have some drinks."
Seeing that Sun Xiuxiu was so Yaxing, it was also a good thing to be able to accompany no one to eat and drink, so the two sat under the window and drank.
After drinking a few glasses, Sun Xiuxiu untied her ingots, "I drank some wine, and it was a little hot." ”
Li Nan's gaze went from Sun Xiuxiu's slightly red cheeks, to her exposed neck, and finally to her towering chest, reminding him of the last time the two hugged each other.
Sun Xiuxiu is a woman who has been married, how could she not see Li Nan's thoughts, she came to Li Nan's side and gently wiped Li Nan's forehead with a handkerchief.
"You're hot too, look at all the sweat."
Li Nan smelled the body fragrance emanating from the mature woman and the tempting smell of jasmine mixed with it, and the soft touch of the arms and thighs also came, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug Sun Xiuxiu in his arms.
Sun Xiuxiu sat on Li Nan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the mouth, and Li Nan's two hands began to grope up and down, exploring each other's secrets.
"Bang bang."
Just when the two of them were in flames, three gunshots rang out outside the window, and the two people who were hugging each other quickly stood up, reached out and pulled out their pistols and rushed out of the wooden house.
Everyone was alarmed by the gunfire and ran out, and under the light of various oil lamps and torches, everyone saw that it was Bai Ying who fired the shot.
Seeing that she was making a lot of noise, Bai Ying explained with some embarrassment: "Haha... I'm sorry, my gun went off. ”
Seeing that it was not an enemy attacking the mountain, but the white leader's gun went off, everyone returned to their house without care.
Li Nan said a little angrily, "Come in with me." ”
