The situation in Ciyan Township made Li Mingzhe's heart heavy.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, the private boss of the nine towns and fifteen townships of Fengcheng, the large and small combined is not less than two hundred, and the miners from other places who die in mining disasters every year are only a rather shocking number!

At the roadside restaurant in Ciyan Village, after eating fast food, Gao Zhan carried a laptop bag on his back, and when he passed by the door of the restaurant, he bought two bottles of cold mineral water from the cold drink freezer on the side, and walked with Li Mingzhe to the SUV parked under the shade of the tree opposite.

It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was in the sky, and the "squeak" on the branches kept screaming, which made people feel extremely depressed after hearing it.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a motorcycle with a person rumbling past it.

Standing next to the SUV cab door, Li Mingzhe silently locked two thick eyebrows, smoking a cigarette, hesitating whether to find another mine to understand, or go back to the city.

Gao Zhan walked in the direction of the front of the car, preparing to go around and board the passenger seat.

As soon as he walked to the front of the car and turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, with dark skin, an inch head, a Chinese face, wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, stepping on a pair of plastic sandals, holding a black canvas bag with a fishing rod about one meter long in his right hand, and walked towards the place where Li Mingzhe was standing with an expressionless face.

Gao Zhan's heart moved, and he stopped and turned to stare at this middle-aged man of unknown origin.

The middle-aged man was less than five meters away from Lee Ming-che at this time. Seeing Gao Zhan looking at him, a trace of panic flashed on his face, but he immediately turned stronger, and with his left hand, he ripped off the fishing bag in his right hand and threw it on the ground, showing a homemade short-barreled earthen gun. The guy held the clay gun in both hands, and quickened his pace to force Lee Ming-che over, pulling off the hammer of the clay pistol as he walked.

Lee Ming-che had his back to the back of the car and didn't notice anyone walking towards him.

"Big brother! Watch the back! Gao Zhan roared and rushed towards Li Mingzhe's location like a cheetah.

Hearing Gao Zhan's roar, Li Mingzhe subconsciously turned around and saw that the muzzle of a black hole was facing him, less than three meters away from him, the gunman had a hideous face, and his right index finger was on the trigger of the earthen gun, obviously not planning to talk nonsense to Li Mingzhe, and planned to fire and commit murder in front of Li Mingzhe.

A look of despair appeared in Lee Ming-che's eyes, he knew that his unannounced visit must have touched the interests of some unscrupulous mine owners, and he had also heard that the people here were fierce, there were often armed fights, and the locals were not afraid of the police at all. But he didn't expect these people to be so bold and reckless, daring to kill people in the street with guns in broad daylight.

At such a close distance, Lee Ming-che knew that he had no time to react, and he couldn't escape the coverage of this kind of scattered bombs fired at close range, at this moment, he found that death was so close to him, could I have died in this ghost place of poor mountains and bad waters so inexplicably?

was so desperate that Lee Ming-che didn't even have time to dodge and react.

At the moment when Li Mingzhe clearly saw the fire spewing out of the muzzle of the gun, he felt that his body was violently pushed, and the heavy force made him unable to stand firm at all, so he was pushed more than a meter away, and staggered to the ground.

At the moment when he was pushed away, a gunshot rang out in his ears.

"Squeak squeak......" A series of piercing monsters that make people's scalps tingle are sounded together.

Gao Zhan appeared with his back to the muzzle of the gun where Lee Mingzhe was standing just now, and the force of the iron sand sprayed from the muzzle of the earthen gun pushed him hard against the door of the car.

Ignoring the hot pain on his back, he stretched out his hands and quickly turned around, like a fierce leopard hunting for food, and rushed towards the gunman of unknown origin with great speed, raised his leg and kicked it firmly in the heart of the perpetrator who had been overwhelmed by the sudden changes at the scene.

Gao Zhan's violent kick in anger almost concentrated all the strength of his body at this time, and kicked this gun-wielding thug into the air and flew more than three meters away.

Regardless of whether the gunman was dead or alive, Gao Zhan quickly ran over and pulled Li Mingzhe up from the ground, and said anxiously: "Big brother, let's get out of here quickly!" ”

Li Mingzhe had already reacted at this time, and he knew that Gao Zhan had pushed him away just now and blocked this fatal shot for him.

He clearly saw that Gao Zhan was hit by that shot and hit the car all over.

Reaching out and touching Gao Zhan's back, he saw that the hand was full of crimson blood, and Li Mingzhe's heart shook wildly, "Get in the car, I'...... I'll take you to the hospital right away! ”

was shot in the back, and the potential to kick the perpetrator away, at this time, Gao Zhan finally felt the sharp pain coming from his back, and immediately sweated on his head in pain.

Let Li Mingzhe help him to walk to the passenger seat and get into the car and sit down, Gao Zhan smiled weakly, and said, "Big brother, hurry up, this place is not suitable for a long time, I can stand it!" ”

Li Mingzhe didn't even look at the thug who was lying on the ground in the distance and was trying to get up, and quickly ran to the cab to board and close the door, and inserted the car key into the keyhole with his right hand trembling, and hit it several times before lighting the fire, and the SUV quickly accelerated from zero to 90 yards.

This section of the road is not a cement road or an asphalt road, it is a machine farming road made of soil compaction in the countryside, and it is very potholed.

Li Mingzhe held the steering wheel with both hands, his face was full of anxiety, and he turned his head to look at Gao Zhan from time to time, "Gao Zhan, hold on!" Gotta hold on, we'll be at the hospital in no time. ”

Gao Zhan leaned back on the seat, his face gradually turned pale, and even the color of his lips slowly faded, and he endured the pain: "Big brother, I'm fine, it's okay......"

The SUV finally finished running this potholey dirt road and got on the provincial highway, Li Mingzhe grabbed the steering wheel in one hand and made a phone call with the other hand: "Dean Liu, I'm Li Mingzhe, you immediately gather people to prepare for surgery now, my brother was shot, bleeding nonstop, I am rushing to your hospital as fast as possible!" ”

President Liu of the People's Hospital on the other side of the phone had just walked into the office and received a call from Li Mingzhe, who heard that Gao Zhan had been shot and was dying.

On the highway, Li Mingzhe hung a frog-shaped police light on the roof of the car, which he had never used at all, and drove all the way to the People's Hospital at a speed of no less than 100 kilometers per hour.

Li Mingzhe grabbed the steering wheel with his left hand, shook Gao Zhan's hand with his right hand from time to time, and shouted loudly: "Brother, it's coming, it's coming soon, you must hold on." ”

Li Mingzhe's hands, clothes, and pants at this time were full of blood, but this was not blood on his body, it was all blood flowing from Gao Zhan's body.

Gao Zhan was sitting in the passenger seat, blood was pouring out of the wound behind his back, and the viscous plasma had soaked the entire passenger seat, flowing down the leather seat cushion and legs.

Under a large amount of blood loss, Gao Zhan's eyes began to darken, his body was weak for a while, and his body was even colder, but this cold did not keep him awake, but made him have a desire to fall asleep immediately.

He didn't know if he would survive it, but he didn't regret it. rushed over to save Lee Ming-che, he was completely subconscious, and by the time he realized it, he had already been shot.

His head was dizzy, his eyes were black, his body was cold for a while, he looked at the front of the car window with his eyes blank, and muttered in his mouth: "Big ...... Elder brother...... How do I ...... Feel...... It's so cold......"

Li Mingzhe was so anxious that tears flowed out at this time, looking at Gao Zhan's clothes that had been completely stained with blood, and the passenger seat soaked in blood, he knew very well how much blood flowed from Gao Zhan's body, "Brother, good brother, don't sleep, talk to big brother!" ”

"Big brother...... I'm a little cold...... I want to sleep ......."

"Can't sleep, Gao Zhan! Brothers! Don't sleep, tell your eldest brother about your book, your eldest brother reads it every day, you tell the eldest brother the protagonist in the book, how is his territory developing now? Lee Ming-che held the steering wheel with one hand, and gently patted Gao Zhan's increasingly pale face with the other, shouting with tears streaming down his face.

"Well, big brother...... I can't sleep...... I'm not done today...... Complete the ...... Update ......"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother, you haven't updated it today, tell your eldest brother about the content of your update! ”

"Big brother...... I...... I can't remember...... I want to sleep ......."

Li Mingzhe stretched out his hand and patted Gao Zhan's bloodless, cold face, and yelled: "Gao Zhan, don't sleep!" You have to hold on, you still have Lu Ying and Bai Lu to take care of, you have to be responsible for them! ”

"I ...... I can't...... Can't die...... I'm dead...... Lulu...... How does Lulu ...... How...... Office ......"

"That's right, brother, you can't die now, you still have to marry Lulu, you will have a grand wedding in the future, an incomparably beautiful wedding, and in the future, our brothers will go back to the beauty of the country together for a vacation."

Hearing Li Mingzhe's eager words, Gao Zhan seemed to see that day, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he actually laughed, in the smile, although Gao Zhan wanted to stay awake, but the continuous loss of blood still drained his consciousness a little, and muttered "Lulu" in his mouth Finally, Gao Zhan's head suddenly tilted, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Gao Zhan!" Seeing this scene, Li Mingzhe couldn't help but feel frightened, and roared like crazy, but no matter how he roared, he couldn't get any answer from Gao Zhan.

Li Mingzhe, who had never cried, finally shed tears at this moment, in a pair of violently open eyes, tears were raging, and one right foot stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, running like crazy.

Finally...... The SUV went all the way, ran four red lights in succession, and finally arrived at the People's Hospital.

"Squeak!" With an emergency brake, as soon as the car stopped, Li Mingzhe, who was covered in blood, jumped out of the cab, rushed to the passenger cab as fast as possible, opened the car door, and hugged Gao Zhan, who had been unconscious for nearly ten minutes, and I don't know where Li Mingzhe got the strength to actually hug Gao Zhan, who weighed more than 170 pounds, from the car.

"Doctor! Doctor! Li Mingzhe screamed wildly and hugged Gao Zhan, and ran over to Dean Liu and the others who came in a hurry.

Dean Liu, who had been prepared, and the accompanying emergency personnel hurriedly lifted Gao Zhan onto the stretcher and ran quickly to the operating room.

As he walked, Li Mingzhe said to Dean Liu with anxiety on his face: "Dean Liu, at all costs, you must rescue my brother, please!" ”

A "please" heard Dean Liu's heart tremble, and at the same time he suddenly felt a sudden pressure.

Gao Zhan was soon sent to the operating room, and Dean Liu personally operated on him.

Looking at the red light lit up in the operating room, Lee Ming-che kept walking back and forth anxiously.

A nurse saw Li Mingzhe covered in blood and asked with concern, "County Magistrate Li, you are covered in blood, do you want to check it?" ”

"I'm fine, it's all my brother's blood. You don't have to worry about me, go about your business! Lee Ming-che walked around while looking at the glaring red light on the side of the operating room door.

At this moment, the operating room door suddenly opened, and a nurse hurriedly walked out of it.

"How's the patient doing?" Lee Ming-che grabbed the nurse's hand and asked anxiously.

"It's hard to say now, there is too much blood loss, and it is too late to send it, whether it can be saved depends on luck." There was no time to say more, and after the nurse hurriedly answered, she ran in the direction of the blood bank.

Soon, the nurse took two large bags of plasma into the operating room, and the door to the operating room was closed again.

Li Mingzhe held his head in pain with both hands, squatting at the door of the operating room, recalling today's scene, Li Mingzhe's mood was complicated to the limit, he never thought that in this world, he could also make friends! You can also make friends with brothers who are willing to do whatever it takes to block the gun for him!

Since he was a child, Lee Ming-che often listened to his grandfather tell him stories, and the stories ...... It's all about the Anti-Japanese War, and ...... The most precious and noble thing is the kind of friendship that is willing to block guns for you!

Living in times of peace, and ...... Born in such a family, Lee Ming-che knows that even if it is an ordinary friend, it is difficult to have one, and those who are close to him are not for fame or profit!

But today, he finally knew that he, Li Mingzhe, was also a good brother who was willing to sacrifice his life to block bullets for him! It stands to reason that he should be proud now, he should be proud, but now, he is so sad that he would rather none of this happened.

When he first heard such a story, he always thought that grandpa should be proud, proud, and not worthy of pride and pride to have such a brother in life? But in fact, when Grandpa Tai talked about this, he seemed so sad and painful.

He didn't understand it before, but when the matter was really on him, he finally understood the sadness in Grandpa's eyes and the pain of Grandpa!

Blocking the gun for his brother is indeed majestic and heroic enough, but ...... How could the gun be easily blocked? How many of the people who blocked the guns for their brothers were still alive afterwards?

As Grandpa Tai said, others can be fake, but one thing you remember, the person who is willing to block the gun for you is your true brother, because ...... Whether it's for fame or profit, it's impossible for you to block the gun, your life is gone, what's the use of fame and fortune?

He knew that if Gao Zhan hadn't blocked this shot for him, this shot hit him in the chest from the front, he would have absolutely no chance to come back alive, I am afraid that he would have died there on the spot, even if Gao Zhan was shot in the back, and the laptop he was carrying on his back covered the vital point and blocked most of the projectiles, but he still did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Damn, even Lao Tzu dares to kill, these bastards are simply too rampant, too lawless!

Lee Ming-che stood up suddenly, took out his mobile phone, and dialed his father's personal phone.

"Dad, someone is going to kill me!"

Li Guodong on the other end of the phone was shocked when he heard his son's clueless sentence, put down the newspaper in his hand, and asked with concern: "Are you injured?" ”

"Gao Zhan blocked a shot for me, and now he is being rescued in the hospital, and his life and death are unknown."

Li Guodong couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?!" ”

Lee Ming-che gave a general account of what happened.

"Rampant, simply rampant!" Li Guodong scolded angrily on the phone: "They are obviously coming at you, I will immediately notify the Provincial Public Security Department to set up a special team to rush over, if Gao Zhan can get out of danger of his life, he will immediately arrange to be transferred to the provincial hospital, the medical facilities and environment in the provincial capital are much better than your hospital." ”

"Well, I hope Gao Zhan can get through, Dad, if he hadn't sacrificed his life to block this shot, you and Grandpa would definitely be white-haired people sending black-haired people."

"Mingzhe, this good brother you made saved you again, and our Li family has two lives!"

"Dad, if it's high...... I don't even know what to do with his parents! Lee Ming-che said in a slightly choked tone.

"I hope that he will be auspicious and turn evil into good fortune."

Hanging up the phone, Lee Ming-che pulled his hair with his hands in a heavy mood, sat on the row of chairs in front of the door of the operating room, bent over and bowed his head, and said nothing.

He couldn't tell now whether it was a premeditated murder or if the people of Ciyan Township had tried to kill him on the spot. Whether there was a political conspiracy involved, he was not sure. If it weren't for his whim pulling Gao Zhan to accompany him to this darkroom, but with the secretary and driver, in that case, would his secretary and driver be able to make Gao Zhan's act of sacrificing his life to save him?

The answer is clearly no!

At that kind of life-and-death juncture, as long as Gao Zhan hesitated for half a second, that shot would hit him 100% in the chest of Li Mingzhe, that is to say, his good brother did not hesitate at all at that time, and completely subconsciously wanted to use his body to block this shot for him, what a rare friendship!

This is the second time that Gao Zhan has saved him from danger at his most desperate moment of life and death, in today's real society where everyone only wants to chase fame and fortune, a good brother like Gao Zhan who sacrificed his life twice regardless of personal gains and losses, what can he Li Mingzhe repay?

In case Xiao Zhan just lies on the cold operating table and never wakes up again, how can he, Li Mingzhe, face Xiao Zhan's parents, and how can he face those two orphan girls who are in love with Xiao Zhan and have no support?

Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but pull his hair tightly, only to pull his hair in a huge pain, so that his mind could turn around.

An hour later, the red light in front of the operating room finally went out.

Dean Liu took off the mask from inside and walked out, his face full of exhaustion.

Li Mingzhe rushed over and grabbed Dean Liu's hand with an arrow step, and asked nervously, "How is it?" ”
